Chapter 117: No Unexpected Finals

Chapter 117 There can be no unexpected finals

Luton's last league game of the season was played in a torrential rain.

On May 10, Luton played away to Brentford.

Although the league title has been locked, Gao Bo still sent most of the main players, because the game is ten days away from the FA Cup final, Gao Bo needs to keep the main players in the state of the game.

Ten days without a game is long enough for a player.

The first half of the game was uneventful, and the game didn't make much sense for either side.

Luton have already secured the league title, and the outcome of this game will not affect their place in the league.

The same goes for Brentford, who are now five points adrift of second-placed Wycombe Rovers and four ahead of fourth-placed Exeter City, who have also secured third place in the league by a round early. A place to directly upgrade to League One.

It wasn't until the 38th minute that Charlie Austin scored a goal to help Luton lead Brentford 1-0.

In the second half, Gao Bo began to make substitution adjustments.

He replaced the two players on the left of Luton, Lewis - Emanuel and Solo - Davies were replaced, replaced by Adam - White and Asan - Harry!

No one realized the significance of this substitution, and even the scouts sent by Benitez in the stands only regarded Luton as an opportunity for more young players to play in the second half.

But Gao Bo didn't think so in his heart. He is now preparing for the FA Cup final.

Benitez is known as a master of tactics. He studies his opponents very carefully before the game, and often makes targeted arrangements in tactics.

That was the case with Benitez at Valencia, who could start ten games in ten games.

To deal with such a wily Spanish coach, Gao Bo also decided to make a change in the starting lineup. After all, Luton is on the weak side. If we deal with Liverpool in the previous way, it is estimated that Benitez has already done a good job. The trap is waiting for you.

He decided to start Adam in the final!

Although Adam's physical fitness can't support a whole game, it's still okay to let him play for fifty or sixty minutes!

However, since Adam is on the field, a player with strong defensive ability needs to be arranged on the left back.

Hassan Ali is a flag that Gao Bo likes to use very much. Let such a defensive player who originally played as a midfielder play as a left back? Gao Bo believes that Hassan Ali is qualified for this position. First of all, Hassan's physical fitness can support him to run up and down, and his defensive ability is also online.

If his positional sense is not considered, it is definitely a reassuring option to have Hassan Ali on the left flank. However, Gao Bo is not going to let Hassan participate in assists, he just needs to guard the area on his left.

Hassan also has no objection to Gao Bo's arrangement. For Hassan, no matter which position he plays, as long as he can play.

"Don't get involved in the offense too much, go up and try to play the left back first!!" Gao Bo said in Hassan's ear.

Hassan, who was dark-skinned and lean, nodded frequently: "Don't worry, boss. I used to play as a defender when I was in the youth academy."

Gao Bo patted Hassan on the shoulder: "Liverpool's offensive players are different from Brentford. You have to adapt first, and I will strengthen your training at left back in the next ten days of training!!"

Gao Bo remembered that he still has a card to strengthen basic technical training. Maybe it can be used on Hassan?

The two were quickly replaced, and Luton's formation became a 433.

This is the formation that Gao Bo is ready to play against Liverpool, but at this time most people do not know it.

The three players in the midfield are Drinkwater, Kante, and Kevin Keane. The three players are in an inverted triangle position. Kanter is dragged at the end, and Drinkwater and Kevin Keane are on both sides. All the famous midfielders have considerable defensive ability, especially Kante, who has a very large coverage in the midfield. Coupled with the increase of cards, the coverage of the three midfielders in the midfield is very enough.

The key is on the offensive end!

Three offensive players in the frontcourt, Adam, Vardy, and Charlie Austin! The running ability and speed of the three players are not weak. Whether it is on the offensive end or on the counterattack, the trident in the frontcourt can play a considerable role!

After completing the substitutions, Luton is still adapting to their new formation, and Brentford has little enthusiasm to fight back.

The game finally ended 0-1, and Luton won the away game and won the second division championship this season!

The Serie B trophy was brought back from the away game by Luton, but the team did not celebrate.

"When we win the FA Cup, we will celebrate the success of this season together!" Gao Bo announced to the players on the bus.

Luton also announced to fans the postponement of the title celebrations.

"The team is fully preparing for the FA Cup final!"

This is Luton's official rhetoric.

After the league ended, Luton's training base was immediately closed, and the team immediately entered closed training. Luton's training has not been probed by any media.

"Closed training?"

Hearing this news, Benitez frowned. He knew that Gao Bo must have some new tricks to deal with Liverpool, but now Benitez can't figure out what medicine is being sold in Gao Bo gourd.

"Are they setting off smoke bombs? Besides defensive counterattacks, what else can they do?" Benitez's assistant, bald Aye Staran, said aside.

"Don't worry about them for now, we still have league tasks to play!"

Although the hope of winning the league title is slim, Liverpool will not give up when there is still hope.

Once Manchester United loses to Arsenal, Liverpool will have a chance to tie the score with Manchester United in the final round. If the goal difference is then played, Liverpool will not necessarily lose.

Liverpool's attacking ability is really good. Torres is at his peak this season. Before the injury, Torres was one of the most powerful centers in the world. His attacking power made many teams terrified.

Gao Bo knows this, but he also studies Liverpool's weaknesses - their defense does not look solid.

Liverpool have often played big games this season - either big wins or big draws.

A typical battle occurs in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Liverpool and Chelsea played against each other at Stamford Bridge. The score of the two sides was 4-4 in a single game - neutral fans watching the game Very cool, but Liverpool were eliminated.

In addition to this game, Liverpool faced Arsenal at home in the league, and Liverpool played a 4-4 score...

The offensive firepower is so strong, and in terms of defense, Liverpool are also scored a lot.

Carragher is still Liverpool's main central defender this season, but the condition of the aged England veteran has declined very seriously. Skrtel is still at his peak, but he is a goalkeeper who has fallen seriously on the goal line. Reina, an important factor in Liverpool's conceding more goals...

Benitez didn't take the news of Luton's closed training too seriously. The battle is imminent, and it is normal for the opponent to play a trick to confuse his own judgment.

Benitez still has a silver lining for the league.

It's just that Manchester United's game is a few hours earlier than Liverpool's. When the Manchester United game is over, Benitez knows that Liverpool has no hope of winning the championship - Manchester United and Arsenal at home. In this way, even if Liverpool wins this round of the league, they are four points behind Manchester United. With only the last round left in the league, Manchester United has already locked the Premier League championship one round ahead.

Although Liverpool won West Bromwich Albion away in this round of the league, but Liverpool are not very happy.

Benitez also turned and left the pitch shortly after the game, with no sign of the excitement on his face to win.

It was not until he returned to Liverpool that Benitez calmed down.

Now in front of him, there is only one FA Cup left!

FA Cup final! ! This is absolutely no surprise game! !

Benitez took a deep breath and announced to the Liverpool players that training will be officially closed tomorrow.

There are only three days left until the start of the FA Cup! There is not much time to prepare for Liverpool's side.
