Chapter 159 Unfavorable Start (11/155+11)

Chapter 159 Bad start

Luton was naturally dissatisfied with the ban, so they appealed.

Therefore, until the result of the appeal, Gao Bo does not need to be suspended for the time being.

Gao Bo chose to appeal because Luton's next game is against Plymouth from the Championship in the UEFA Cup. Compared with the opponents in the A League, this opponent may be stronger.

On August 12, in the first round of the League Cup, Luton away against Plymouth, Gao Bo was sitting on the coach's bench.

The opening game of the First Division was held on August 8, but because Luton was going to participate in the Community Shield on this day, the first round of the First Division at Luton's home against Trampier was rejected on this day. As for the time According to the table, the FA has not yet made arrangements-because Luton will also participate in the Europa League this season, at least until the Europa League draw is drawn, the next specific make-up time can be determined.

This season's schedule can be said to be very dense for Luton.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the season, the schedule has not yet reached the real intensive stage, so in this League Cup game, Luton is still the main force.

Plymouth finished 21st in the Championship last season, which made Plymouth fans take a breath, but fortunately the team ended up staying in the Championship.

Facing Luton at home this time, Plymouth was also very straightforward. They directly put on a 541 defensive counterattack situation with five backs and four defensive midfielders.

If there are fans who don't know the leagues these two teams belong to, they would think that Luton is the Championship team and Plymouth is the first division team.

It can be said that after beating Premier League-level teams one after another last season, Luton is no longer seen as an ordinary lower league team - otherwise they would not have played in the Europa League.

And it turned out that Plymouth was right, they almost dragged the game to zero.

However, in the 84th minute of the game, Griezmann received a pass from Drinkwater in the middle and then faked a shot and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, then crossed the penalty area and Vardy scored his goal. First goal of the season!

In the end, Luton entered the second round of the League Cup with a score of 1-0.

A small victory over the Championship side Plymouth can be said to be a good start to the season. However, the next news made Luton very dissatisfied.

Luton's appeal failed, the FA upheld the original sentence...

This also means that Gao Bo has to sit in the stands for the next two consecutive games.

......

On August 15th, the weather was fine, and the Worth Course was full of people at 3:00 in the afternoon.

In the second round of the First Division, Luton will face Swindon at home! It was Luton's first home game of the season, so the fans were very supportive.

Before the game, Gao Bo made some final game arrangements in the locker room.

Sandro's labor certificate has not yet been approved, which has resulted in him not being able to register in the First Division. Fortunately, Sandro was able to catch up with the league registration before the transfer window closed on September 1.

Because he only played an away game three days ago, Gao Bo actually made a small rotation in this game.

Adam got the chance to play for the first time this season. After more than a month of strengthening before the game, his physical fitness is much better than last season.

The other position is in the right back position, and the teenager card position - Jenkinson won the start.

"Remember how we played last season?"

The players smiled and nodded.

"I don't need to say anything, we have defeated so many strong enemies, we are the best team in the first division, we should be promoted!!"

"That's right! Our only goal this season is to upgrade!! To the Champions League!!"

Gao Bo opened his arms and said,

And his players have no doubts, they are confident they can do it.

The atmosphere in the locker room was lively.

But after the players walked out of the locker room, there were still two men in suits and leather shoes standing at the door.

"Mr. Gao Bo?"

"Um?"

Gao Bo frowned, who are these two? Anyway, Gao Bo has never seen it at Worth Field, and this is the locker room, which is a sensitive area for the team, although they are only standing at the door.

"We are on the FA Disciplinary Committee..."

The other party reported such a series of names.

Gao Bo tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is there such an institution?"

The two men in suits and leather shoes looked bad, Gao Bo quickly laughed.

"Just kidding.... I won't go to the court." Gao Bo said, pointing to the players who ran out.

The two nodded, and the two were obviously supervisors sent by the FA.

"Sir, please make sure you are not carrying any communication tools..."

Gao Bo took out his phone and turned it off in front of them...

Another guy walked around Gao Bo to make sure he didn't have any earplugs in his ears,

"Dude, do you think I'm James Bond?" Gao Bo got a little impatient as he walked towards the stands.

Gobble sat in the box at Worth Field.

Fortunately, the boss David Morton is also here. Otherwise, Gao Bo really doesn't know how to get through the 100-odd minutes in the face of two poker faces.

The course of the game is very tedious.

Gao Bo quickly ignored him and the presence of two supervisors in the box.

The team's offense was not smooth, and Swindon, who played away, also adopted a strategy of defending.

The final result of the game was zero to zero, and no one scored!

In the face of intensive defense, Luton had less luck.

Gao Bo was a little helpless, because he couldn't make adjustments in time because of the situation on the field, and John's command was really rigid and rigid.

Just ten days after this game, on August 19, Luton faced Colchester United away, and the result was also 0-0!

The opponent also adopted a strategy of defending, and Luton's attack also failed to achieve results.

If it is said that a zero-to-zero match is accidental, then two consecutive zero-to-zero encounters have to make the team vigilant.

The team's offensive efficiency needs to be reflected in the face of intensive defense.

The problem is first of all in Griezmann's run-in with the team.

Griezmann's position is very flexible, he can use the attacking midfielder as well as the nine and a half players. Gao Bo fixed him in the mid lane.

And this run-in is two-sided. First, Griezmann actually plays more on the right side in the Real Sociedad B team. He actually doesn't have much experience in the middle.

However, Gao Bo still insists that Griezmann's characteristics are suitable for playing in the middle, because it has been verified on the ground-Simeone fixed Griezmann in the middle back then, and Simeone also believes that Griezmann It's most powerful when it's in the middle.

In this regard, Griezmann can only slowly explore. As a future superstar, he has the ability to adjust, which Gao Bo is not worried about.

In addition, Luton's players seem to be a little unaccustomed to the role of an attacking midfielder who appears in the middle.

They still played according to the way they played last season, and the result was that they kept passing the ball, allowing only Vardy to grab a point in the penalty area, so the success rate would naturally not be high.

These can be solved by training.

Before the next game, Gao Bo focused his work on Griezmann's running-in with the team, at least on the offensive end, strengthening Griezmann's ball possession and letting this talented player lead the team's Attack, strengthen the ability to break through dense defense. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
