Chapter 114 Topping the List

Chapter 114 Top of the list

Knowing the opponent in the final made Gao Bo feel at ease.

How to deal with Liverpool? Gao Bo doesn't have time to think about this now, because the most crucial game in the league will come immediately.

On April 23, in the 43rd round of the Second Division, Luton will face Wycombe Wanderers at home!

Luton fans and players are quite confident in this game, even Gao Bo is full of confidence.

However, the result of the first half of the game made Gao Bo's face darken.

At the last moment of the first half, Wycombe Rovers scored a direct free kick to Claude's goal, and they led Luton 1-0 away!

The result left Wycombe Wanderers players ecstatic, and Wycombe manager Peter Taylor even rushed onto the pitch to celebrate and was shown a yellow card...

At halftime, Gao Bo's face was gloomy: "Do you think we won the league championship?"

"We're getting nothing now!!! If we play as casually as the first half, the league title?! The league title slips away from your eyes!!"

Gao Bo almost slapped the table and roared.

The ease on the faces of the players is also gone, although Wycombe is the top team in the second division, but the Luton players don't take them too seriously - after all, they have beaten several Premier League teams. No support, let alone the British Championship, so when they play against their opponents in the second division, they seem to be a little nervous.

After being sprayed by Gao Bo during the halftime break, the players also realized that if the game is lost, the obtained league champion may really fly away...

After the players walked out of the locker room with serious expressions, John came over and said, "The schedule has been too dense recently, and the players' physical fitness may be in some condition."

Gao Bo nodded: "I know this, John, but even if you are a little tired, you shouldn't show such an attitude when facing Wycombe. We can't lose a game in the next league!"

John nodded too. Even in the win over Wycombe Wanderers, Luton was only one point ahead of the opponent, and it was not time to relax.

"Fortunately, the FA Cup is on May 20, and we will have ten days to prepare."

Gao Bo nodded. If Luton has any advantage in the FA Cup final, it is that the last round of the second division is on May 10, and the Premier League game is still in full swing at that time, and Liverpool have to pay for their The league title fight, so Liverpool have far less rest time than Luton, who can rest for ten days - three days before the FA Cup game on May 20, Liverpool still To challenge West Bromwich Albion away, it is the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League. If Liverpool still retains the hope of winning the league, they will definitely go all out in this game.

Compared to Luton, the denser the Liverpool schedule, the more tired their players will be, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Luton.

However, in the next ten days, Gao Bo did not intend to focus on preparing for the game against Liverpool. Gao Bo, the champion of the Second Division, attaches great importance to this. He will never allow this champion to fall by the wayside!

So for the next period of time, Gao Bo asked the whole team to temporarily forget the FA Cup and focus on the next games of the B-League first!

The second half just started, Luton launched a crazy attack on Wycombe Wanderers!

Wycombe Rovers are also ready to defend away from home, in fact their coach Peter Taylor made a major adjustment to Wycombe's formation in this game.

Five defenders, four defensive midfielders, and only one fast striker in front!

This is a complete defensive counterattack, completely abandoning the midfield and frontcourt,

Two tight directions were placed in the penalty area, allowing Luton to keep besieging the periphery.

Under this kind of intensive defense, Luton is actually not good at attacking this kind of positional warfare.

Is there a way to win the positional warfare?

Long-range shots may be a solution, but in addition to strengthening long-range shots to the team, Gao Bo is also ready to let Adam play and increase dribbling breakthroughs to create threats.

In the 60th minute of the game, Gao Bo replaced Adam and Lewis. The team's formation became 433. Kevin Keane shrank to the middle and formed a double midfield with Drinkwater and Kante. Adam was pushed to the front line, forming a three forward with Vardy and Charlie Austin.

Adam's play has largely disrupted Wycombe Wanderers' defensive formation. In the face of Adam's dribbling breakthrough on the wing, they had to frequently move their formation to the left.

But the real killer move is not on Adam's side.

In the 69th minute of the game, when Wycombe Wanderers moved closer to Adam's attacking side, Drinkwater shifted the ball laterally from the left to the right.

Kevin Keane kicks and shoots in an unguarded situation!

The football passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area, hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!

One to one! ! Luton equalised!

This score obviously did not satisfy Luton, and they continued to press up and attack in the next time.

Wycombe-Wycombe fans were a little nervous, as Luton's attack continued to intensify, and their defence began to appear frequently dangerous.

In the 76th minute of the game, Charlie Austin stabbed with a toe after receiving a pass in the penalty area. The football hit the post and went out of the bottom line, almost helping the team equalize the score.

The goal surprised Wycombe Rangers fans, but just as they were lucky, Luton's attack came again.

Adam slid past the defender with a fake left flank and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passing the ball into the penalty area when he was close to the baseline.

Vardy's header saved the goalkeeper, but then Charlie Austin's supplementary shot left the opponent with nothing to do.

Charlie Austin was very excited after the goal, his goal helped the team overtake the score.

If the victory remains until the end of the game, Luton can overtake Wycombe Rangers to the top of the table!

From the negative 30 points at the beginning of the season, to the current standings helper team!

Luton arguably set an eye-popping record, because it means that, if they hadn't deducted points, they are now thirty points ahead of second place! !

What a terrifying difference this is! Luton's performance is enough to show that they are definitely not a team of this level in the second division.

"They have at least reached the strength of a mid-level Premier League team!!" Letkinson said on TV.

How far Luton's strength has reached, different people have different interpretations, and the miracles this team has created this season are destined to become a topic of discussion.

Wycombe Wanderers had little to do when Luton overtook the score.

They wanted to counterattack in the final stage of the game, but they were trapped by their own strength, and instead Luton scored another goal through counterattack.

When Adam White dribbled past the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the open goal, the Worth Stadium was in a frenzy!

Fans jumped in the stands, leaving the entire stadium in the building.

Colleagues Gao Bo applauding the performance of the players are also worried that this old stadium will collapse the stands because the fans are too crazy...

Gao Bo's worry was unnecessary. Until the end of the game, the stands were still safe, but the atmosphere of the stadium reached its peak at this moment!

Luton beat Wycombe Wanderers and they now overtake their opponents to the top of the table!
