Chapter 87: Officiating at Coventry
Chapter 89
When the players from both sides ran out of the player channel, the home fans gave the home team's players huge cheers.
Ricoh Stadium is much larger compared to Wolsiu Stadium. But now Luton’s Wolsiu Stadium is located in the city center, surrounded by residential areas, and there is no room for expansion. What's more, with the capital of the poor boss of the team now, he can't get the money to buy people. Can you still count on him to build a new stadium?
John is a little nervous. This is already the FA Cup quarterfinals, and one step further is the quarterfinals...
reached the FA Cup semi-finals, this is something that a small team like Luton could not even think of before.
"Can we really get into the semifinals?" John stood beside Gao Bo, applauding the players on both sides with Gao Bo.
"Not necessarily!" Gao Bo did not look back.
Not necessarily? ! !
John is a little anxious, who swore to win the FA Cup a few days ago?
John just wanted to say something, Gao Bo turned his head, he saw his assistant look a little worried.
"John, there is no 100% sure thing in this world. Anything can be done with one or two percent certainty!"
"You mean we can beat Coventry with one or two percent certainty?!" John is also a little lacking in confidence. It is probably because he has beaten high-level league teams one after another this season. John always feels that his team will face up in a certain scene. This feeling always makes John uneasy in losing a team in a league.
But Gao Bo is obviously not so troubled.
"I mean we can win the championship with one or two percent certainty!!" Gao Bo smiled, his face full of confidence.
John's face is wrong, and he is not too sure about one to two percent, but looking at the smile on Gao Bo's face, people who don't know think Luton can win the championship 100%.
"John, do you know what is the most important thing on the football field for me?" Gao Bo looked at the players who were already in their positions. In this game, he still sent the lineup of the previous single forward, Val Di Ding is at the forefront, but Charlie, who has been in full form recently, was placed on the bench by Gao Bo.
John shook his head. Who can guess what the talented coach thinks before him?
"It's hope!" Gao Bo said seriously, "When I set my goal, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for success, I will do it 100%!"
"We only have a glimmer of hope for winning the FA Cup?!" John was shocked again, didn't he just have 10 or 20%.
"You can really grasp the point..." Gao Bo spread his hand helplessly, "This is just a metaphor. We must win the FA Cup this season, John! We have a reason to do it."
Gao Bo turned around.
"If we win the FA Cup, the selling funds for next season will be transferred to the signing funds!"
"Do you know what this means?"
John nodded. Of course he understood what it meant. Just a Charlie Austin, now a team has offered a price of four million pounds, four million pounds for a second division like Luton. For the team, it's a pretty big number! And under Gao Bo's "package", Charlie's worth has enough room to rise.
"Get ready to go to the European stadium next season, John!"
John Aston discovered for the first time that the head coach of the team had such ambitions...
......
"The players from both sides have stepped onto the court!" Letterkinson was holding the microphone in the commentary.
The four matches of the FA Cup quarter-finals were divided into two days. The first kick-off was the symptomatic Luton home match at Coventry and the two symptomatic Liverpool home matches at Fulham.
Both games of Sky Sports are scheduled to be broadcast live, but as the ace commentator, Letterkinson specifically asked to explain this game, the confrontation between the two non-English Premier League teams.
Letkinson really wants to see how far Luton this team can go in the FA Cup...
"The home team sent their strongest lineup! Coleman's team was not stable in the league this season, but they were lucky in the cup. After eliminating Blackburn, they also reached the quarterfinals. Ben. The goalkeeper who started the game for Coventry was Westwood, the guard line was lined up with White, Dann, Turner, Hall, and the midfielders were Henderson, Ganalson, Doyle, Eastwood, the forwards are Best and Morrison's partner!" Letkinson is broadcasting the starting lineup to both sides.
But Gao Bo set his sights on Henderson.
If Gao Bo remembers correctly, he is the midfielder who will replace Liverpool's captain Gerrard in the future, the new Red Captain. Henderson is a Sunderland youth training product. At the winter window, the 19-year-old Henderson was rented out by Sunderland to Coventry for training.
Henderson didn’t know that he was being followed by Gao Bo. In fact, Gao Bo was not interested in Henderson, because Henderson was also a Premier League youth training team. Apart from loaning, Luton probably had difficulty getting Henderson to accept a transfer. Things.
......
It has been ten minutes since the game started~lightnovelpub.net~ Gao Bo frowned on the sidelines. He looked at Coleman on the other side. Can this guy really put down the arrogance of the English Championship team and actually played back against Luton, the second division team? !
Coventry’s current strategy is really to defensively and counterattack. They have not played midfield with three antennas, but shrunk in their own half, waiting for Luton to attack.
"Coventry is now... a defensive counterattack?!" Letterkinson was also a little surprised. "They really kicked a defensive counterattack. Coleman put on a defensive posture and waited for Luton to attack."
Gao Bo was also a little helpless. He didn't expect his opponents to do this before the game. In any case, Coventry is also a team in the English Champions League. They are two levels higher than Luton. Coleman just like that. Can put down the shelf to shrink defense.
This gentleman can bend and stretch.
But the problem is that Gao Bo's single forward formation is actually paying attention to the defensive counterattack. After all, this is an away game. In Gao Bo, if you want to come, Coventry has to do something at home.
So the current scene is very dull. If two teams want to play defensive counterattacks, the game will become like this.
Luton is now in control of the ball. He has been in the backcourt for a while. Luton doesn’t know whether to press it or not, because before Gao Bo emphasized that this game must be based on defense and absolutely cannot lose the ball.
Gao Bo saw that the players were a little impatient, he pressed his hands down to signal the players to calm down.
Gao Bo is not in a hurry, even if the game is zero to zero, it is not a big deal.
This is when the head coaches of the two sides compete patiently, whoever can't bear it first will fall into the passive first.
Both coaches are not willing to easily overturn the deployment before the game.
