Chapter 113 Prepare for the Finals
Chapter 113 Prepare for the finals
Early the next morning, Luton returned to Luton from London.
In the urban area of Luton, the players enjoyed the heroic treatment. The vehicles moved slowly along the narrow roads of Luton at a creeping speed. The enthusiastic fans made Luton walk two full distances on the roads in the urban area. Hours, before driving into the training base.
In the training base, Gao Bo announced the team's day off.
Being able to beat Arsenal is definitely something to celebrate for Luton, but Gao Bo does not plan to hold any celebrations at this time, after all, the next schedule is also very crucial for Luton.
Although it was a holiday, Gao Bo stayed in the office until the afternoon before leaving.
Because at this time, the fans outside the base gradually dispersed - otherwise, Gao Bo would be like the players, signing autographs for the fans all the way, and it took two or three hours to leave.
The players are all big stars now. At this time, Gao Bo didn't want to go out and steal the limelight from the players.
In the office, Gao Bo wrote the plans for the next month on the calendar.
The FA Cup final opponent has not yet been determined, but whether the opponent is Everton or Liverpool, the final time has been set.
On May 20, at Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup final will start as scheduled. This will also be Luton's last game of the season.
Prior to this, the League B games had also ended, and there were five more league games to be played, including the forty-second round. The most critical of them is the next round, the 43rd round of the league. Luton will face the current top team Wycombe Wanderers at home. Now Luton is two points behind Wycombe Wanderers with one game less. Once the game is won, Luton immediately overtakes his opponent by one point and grabs the top of the standings.
Wycombe Wanderers is also a sad reminder. They have stayed at the top of the table for more than 40 rounds this season. As a result, the next round of the league is likely to be overtaken by Luton...
After returning to the apartment, Gao Bo remembered the mission reward for winning the league championship before.
He opened the football card system and found the task bar.
After seeing the task bar, Gao Bo's eyes lit up.
Because in addition to the task of winning the league championship, the task bar also refreshed another task.
The reward of the task of "Saving Luton" is gradient. In fact, even if he didn't win the championship this season, Gao Bo can be considered to have completed this task, but the reward of the task of winning the championship will be more generous.
If you lead Luton to win the championship of the Second Division, in addition to the 8,000 experience, there will be a blue exchange coupon and a 100 chance to draw a lottery!
Before Gao Bo had two blue cards in his hand, one of them was reserved for training.
The role of blue card Gao Bo is very clear, this is almost a card that can make the team have a qualitative improvement!
This reward is too tempting for Gao Bo, and now the team looks very close to winning the championship - as long as they beat Wycombe Wanderers in the next round, they will be at the top of the table, and as long as the team does not win the next few rounds. If you lose, you can lock the league championship, so now the initiative is in your own hands!
If once the league wins the championship and gets this task reward, in the FA Cup final, whether it is against Everton or Liverpool, Gao Bo will have one more point of confidence.
Gao Bo guessed that this new task is probably related to the FA Cup.
Sure enough, when he opened it, this task was really related to winning the FA Cup!
"Mission: Legendary Dark Horse!"
"Leading Luton to the 2008-2009 FA Cup title will make Luton the most shocking dark horse in FA Cup history!!"
"Mission reward: 8,000 experience points, a blue exchange coupon, and 100 lottery chances!"
It seems that from the perspective of the system, the difficulty of winning the FA Cup is the same as winning the league...
Speaking of experience points,
Gao Bo remembered that after he was promoted to Level 2, he hadn't been promoted for a long time.
He looked at his experience points.
Level 2: 8600/10000
There are more than a thousand experience to upgrade! Gao Bo calculated it, and after the end of the league game, he can raise his level to 3 and expand another card slot!
Gao Bo is full of confidence. It seems that when this league is over, his team will have another qualitative improvement! At that time, if Everton or Liverpool look at Gao Bo's team with the old eyes, Luton may surprise them.
......
Alexander's bar has been doing well recently, at least when Gao Bo walked in, the bar was already full of people.
However, Gao Bo still had a place. The position by the window near the TV screen was reserved for Gao Bo by Alexander.
"Do you think we will meet Everton or Liverpool?" Alexander leaned over and asked, and the surrounding drinkers pricked up their ears, and they were actually very concerned about this issue.
This season's Liverpool had hoped to win the league title, and Benitez decided that the team was still at the top of the standings before Christmas.
But after 2008 passed, in January 2009, Liverpool suffered three consecutive draws in January, and then were drawn by Manchester City. Four consecutive draws took Liverpool to the top of the table, and they are now in the standings. Six points behind Manchester United.
But despite this, Benitez's team is still one of the best Premier League teams this season, especially since March, Liverpool's winning streak has not stopped.
Starting from a 1-1 draw with Manchester City, Liverpool have won six consecutive league games, including a 4-1 away victory over their arch-rival Manchester United!
So Liverpool's recent state can be said to be very hot. If possible, Gao Bo does not want to meet Liverpool in his heart. After all, Benitez's Liverpool is at its peak and it is not easy to deal with.
However, in words, Gao Bo still kept his tone. Whether it was against Everton or Liverpool, he would not show the difference in front of fans or players.
"For us, it doesn't matter which team we play against..." Gao Bo said.
At this time, there was also a lot of discussion in the tavern.
"I guess it's Liverpool. Liverpool is very likely to win Everton. Benitez is much better than Moyes..."
"I think Moyes is also good, Liverpool have always been winning lately, it's time they lost a game.."
"Why didn't you lose this game against us?"
"That's what you said..."
Fans were talking.
In fact, Gao Bo also thinks that Everton will be difficult to win against Liverpool at Wembley. After all, there is still some gap between the two sides in terms of strength, and Moyes is not an opponent of Benitez in terms of on-the-spot changes.
Sure enough, although the two sides played 1-1 in the first half, in the second half, Everton couldn't stand it anymore.
Gerrard's long-range shot helped Liverpool overtake the score, and then the game was controlled by Benitez's team.
They gradually turned their advantages into victory, keeping the score 2-1 until the end of the game.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Everton 2-1 at Wembley, won the Merseyside derby, and successfully reached the FA Cup final.
