Chapter 167 Copycats in Barcelona

As the time entered September, the wheat in the wheat field had turned yellow, and Luton seemed to be in the harvest season. From September to now, they first left the British Championships except for the first two days, and then made up for the first round. In addition to the tie with Trumbier, they maintained their winning streak for the remaining few games.

The overall situation of the team is going upward! Despite the intensive schedule, Gao Bo has played a very good role in adjusting the team's state. Since the victory over Exeter City on September 8, the team has won four consecutive victories on all fronts!

On September 26, the last game of September, Luton ushered in a challenge from Norwich at home.

Gao Bo's goal in this game is of course victory, but because of the frequent matches, he still made some position rotations.

On the front line, Matt Schmidt got the chance to play in the league this season, and his partner was Gleezman, midfielder Drinkwater took a break, and replaced him by Joseph Andel. . The center-back combination on the back line became a partner of Jeffrey and George Parker. Sol Campbell continued to take turns. After all, this veteran is here for his age. Gao Bo should save some use. The right back is Karl- Jenkinson got a chance.

This is actually the reason why Gao Bo did not prepare a huge lineup. If someone in the team does not have a chance to play, then there must be some problems within the team. Last season, the huge gap between the main players and the substitutes actually made Gao Bo play in many games. Employers are somewhat stretched.

One to zero! Luton's rotation also scored valuable three-pointers.

Although the score in this game was not big, the process was convincing. Luton, who played at home, dominated the situation from beginning to end, and they finally defeated the opponent with a goal from Griezmann!

This ball best reflects Matt's aerial ability. Kevin Keane's cross passed into the penalty area, Matt headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area, and Griezman volleyed directly with his right foot after inserting it. The football hit the bottom edge of the crossbar and bounced into it. Netwo! This goal made the stand of Wo Si, who had been waiting for more than seventy minutes, completely boiled.

Although there was only one goal in this game, in fact, Luton had 19 shots in the game, and seven of them were within the range of the goal frame. The reason why there was only one goal in this game was because of Norwich’s united defense and their excellent goalkeeper in this game...

Regardless of the process, the result is wonderful. Griezmann's goal helped the team continue to bite the top two in the standings.

Both Charlton and Leeds have won, so now the team is still ranked third. If the season ends with this ranking, Luton will go to the promotion play-offs. Gao Bo does not want to waste time in the play-offs. He hopes that the team will be promoted to the Championship as the champion of the first division. So this ranking did not meet Gao Bo's expectations, but he is not in a hurry. After all, the league has only just begun. After a bit of twists and turns at the beginning of the season, the team seems to be on the right track.

....

On October 1, the team ushered in another home game, but this time it was the Europa League group stage.

The team will play Basel at home!

Currently in Group E where Luton is, Basel was upset in the first round at home. They defeated the Roma team led by Ranieri, so Gao Bo did not dare to neglect the Basel team.

"Basel is an excellent team. They are very good at ground cooperation. It will be difficult to play with them, but we hope that the game can be played well!" At the press conference before the game, Gao Bo looked at Basel. Very important.

Roma is not a weak team. Gao Bo is very clear about this, and he never dared to underestimate Ranieri. His ability to beat Roma shows that Basel's strength is good.

Compared to Gao Bo’s cautiousness, Basel’s head coach Torsten Fink looked a little frivolous in the pre-match press conference facing Luton: “Beating Roma puts us in a very good position, but I think this group will be a competition between Basel and Rome. If you want to win the first place in the group, you must score enough points on the two teams of Luton and Sofia's Central Sixth Army."

This is Thorsten Fink’s true thoughts. He actually attaches great importance to Luton’s team, because he thinks Luton has the ability to win upset, so before the start of the game, Thorsten Fink Ke’s face was very solemn and said to his disciples: “We must attach great importance to this game. If we want to win the first qualifying group, the home and away game against Luton will be the key. Sophia Central The 6th Army does not have the strength to threaten us and Roma, and although Luton's team is in the third level in England, they won the FA Cup last season, which shows that this team has considerable strength. Can't be contemptuous!"

Tosten Fink’s expression is very solemn: “Therefore, we need to score as quickly as possible. As long as we are ahead, Luton basically has nothing to do. The time of the first goal is very important! If we can’t be late Goal, then I will worry about our defense. Luton's counterattack is very strong!"

German Tosten Fink said.

On the other side, Gao Bo is also doing the final pre-match mobilization.

"This is a team that beat Roma!" Gao Bo said from the center of the locker room. As soon as he said this, the players' faces became serious.

Basel is not well-known, but they defeated Serie A team Roma 2-0 at home just two weeks ago!

"Everyone knows how we will complete the game. We have our tactics and we also have our style. We have strengthened these things many times during training, so I won't talk about tactics." Gao Bo raised his fingers. "I’ll just say one point. Basel is a team that pursues ground control. We can’t let them enter into their own game rhythm. They like to control the ball in the midfield. Then we will play with them in the midfield. Entanglement!! Cut the connection between their midfielders, make their ball unable to pass, and cut the game to pieces!!!"

"Be careful with positioning the kicks and try not to give them free kicks near the penalty zone line! Basel has several free kick players, such as their No. 30 Calitos, N'Golo, who fouled The location should be controlled, as far as possible from the restricted area to start!" Gao Bo turned to face Kanter.

Ken Feature nodded, he expressed understanding.

"Of course, they may not be able to pass the midfield so easily. In this game, we still start from the front court and try to complete the steal in the midfield!!" Gao Bo raised his right hand.

"Then after stealing the ball..." Gao Bo suddenly lowered his raised hand, "Counter-attack!! Destroy them!!!"

"The opponent is already waiting for us!! Get out now!! Kill them!!!"

Gao Bo opened the locker room door, and the players walked out confidently.

The players of both sides met in the player channel, but there was no acquaintance between the players of the two teams. The players lined up in two rows, waiting and playing.

There was a drizzle in the sky outside. When the cheers of the fans in the stands suddenly rose, the players of the two teams had lined up to the court.

Gao Bo was standing next to the coaching bench, looking at the backs of the Basel players.

If just looking at the back, Gao Bo thought he was playing with Barcelona...

Basel's home jersey is also the same red and blue striped shirt as Barcelona, ​​and it is not a coincidence that both teams are in this color.

(Barcelona Football Club) and fcbase1 (Basel Football Club), the abbreviations of the names of the two clubs are fcb-on November 12, 1893, Basel Football Club officially announced its establishment. Six years later, Gamber, this The owner of the club and the captain of the football team came to Barcelona and established the Barcelona Football Club here, becoming the founder of Barcelona's century-old glory. Gamber and Basel have a profound influence on Barcelona. When choosing the jersey for the new club, Gamber chose the same red and blue as Basel as the main color. So Basel is in German, Barcelona in Catalonia and There is the same title in Spanish: "Red and Blue".

And to a certain extent... the red and blue striped shirts were copied from Basel by Barcelona...

Gao Bo squinted at Basel coach Tosten Funk on the other side.

Unfortunately, you are not the real Barcelona...

The German regarded Luton as the object of their points before the game, which made Gao Bo's heart secret... The more Basel looked down on Luton, the more likely it was that Luton would score a three-pointer at home! For Gao Bo, Basel is also his target. From the perspective of strength, Ranieri’s Roma is of course the strongest on paper, so before the start of the game, Gao Bo has already determined to play on Basel. All three points are taken so that the team can occupy a favorable position in the standings as soon as possible.

Even if there is no underestimate in Basel~lightnovelpub.net~ they may not be able to win Luton! Gao Bo has absolute confidence in his team.

The drizzle fell and the players in Basel felt cool. The weather in September has turned cold, and the rain is always chilling. Compared to Switzerland, the weather in England at this time makes the players in Basel. Feeling a little uncomfortable.

It's just fine if the game is away... Tosten Fink frowned, and the rain in the sky has never stopped since he came here.

Compared to their opponents, Luton's players don't have the slightest feeling. They have long been used to such a climate.

The players of both sides stood in their positions according to their respective formations, and the captains of both sides completed a series of ceremonies waiting for the side pick. The referee blew his whistle and the game officially began! ...
