Chapter 246 Honest People Are Hard to Do (One Hundred and Sixty-Six/One Hundred and Seventy-Two)

Chapter two hundred and forty-six honest people are hard to do

This away victory allowed the team to continue to maintain the point difference with Charlton in the standings. Now the league has played 34 rounds, and there are still 12 rounds of the league. This season's first division is about to end. Now the league has entered the sprint stage.

With the recent loss of Leeds United in the championship group, Luton and Charlton are now left to continue their rivalry.

The relegation group also needs to exert its strength at this time!

After the league enters the sprint stage, the schedule is also closer. The English low-level leagues often end about half a month earlier than the Premier League, and the schedule is eight more rounds than the Premier League, so the schedule is very tight. of.

Since Luton will play the Europa League this season, Luton once hoped to change the schedule so that Luton, who has a European mission, can get more rest.

But the FA refused without hesitation.

Even Manchester United, which has a huge influence in England, once wanted to change the league schedule for the Champions League, but they were rejected. Chelsea once also hoped that the league would make way for the Champions League and let the teams participating in the Champions League rest for a day or two. As a result, the FA also refused.

It's no wonder that Mourinho once ranted that "the FA never considers what Premier League teams can achieve in the Champions League"...

Even Manchester United and Chelsea are, so it is only natural that Luton will be rejected.

On March 12, we will play Juventus away, and on March 15, we will play Kalisir away, and then on March 19, we will face the challenge of Juventus at home!

Such an intensive schedule is indeed a severe test for the team.

These days, the team's training has not been much, but is doing some relatively easy set-piece routines and training on defensive positions.

The workouts with three players on the team are listed separately.

Adam, Vardy, Griezmann!

"The speed of passing the ball continues to increase!!" Gao Bo roared from the sidelines.

He rarely intervenes in team training in person, usually John directs the team to train according to the training syllabus.

But this time was different. He was personally on the sidelines, directing the training of the three attackers to move and pass the ball between each other.

From the previous games, Gao Bo has seen that there is some kind of chemical reaction between the three attackers, and what Gao Bo has to do is to make them more tacit!

"Pass! Run!!" Gao Bo gestured!

"The speed must be fast!! Whether it is passing or running!"

"Shoot as soon as there is space!! Don't hesitate!!"

"What's the purpose of a quick pass! It's for a shot! Not a pass for a pass!!"

"After losing the ball, immediately counterattack on the spot and get the ball back!! You will be the first line of defense!!"

"Running!! Running at all costs!!"

Gao Bo's words rang out on the training ground.

The time is still very tight, and the game will be played in two or three days. Gao Bo is ready to give everyone a surprise in this game!

......

Juventus also came to England while Luton was hurrying to train.

They also did not go directly to Luton - they rented a training ground in London to train first.

The small city of Luton does not have a training ground that Juventus is satisfied with, and Ferrara is also worried that they will be harassed in Luton, after all, when Luton played Roma in the group stage, they encountered the harassment of football hooligans. .

Speaking of football hooliganism, it is also commonplace in England.

"...Juventus came to England three days before the game, although they didn't go directly to Luton, but it also fully shows the importance Juventus takes this game."

"...At the moment we don't know who the starting centre-back will be to replace Chiellini. Before the game, the Italian media speculated that Juventus would be the centre-back partner of Cannavaro and Gregra. But everything has to wait for the two sides to announce the starters before the game before we know!"

"....Juventus are training at a London stadium, which is 40 km straight from the Worth Stadium, home of Luton, and it is said that Juventus do not intend to live in a hotel in Luton on the day of the game. , they will drive directly to Luton here. Fortunately, this distance is not too far. If you get off the highway, it will take about half an hour to reach the destination! At present, the stadium has been completely closed, and the fee Lara's team banned the media from filming!"

As soon as Juventus arrived in England, the media of all sizes on Fleet Street rushed to pay attention to this Serie A giant.

Compared to Italy, the media in England is much more developed.

The English media reported when Juventus got off the plane, when they settled in the training base, and what they brought, and even how many pairs of underwear Buffon brought as news reports.

Too much media is not a good thing either.

......

"The one-to-one score means that Juventus must score on the road, so we have only one goal in this game, that is to win Luton and advance to the quarter-finals!"

In a press conference the day before the game, Ferrara said.

"We will overwhelm the opponent with a powerful attack!"

No one doubts the truth of Ferrara's statement, because of course Juventus are capable and motivated to attack on the road.

And Gao Bo said solemnly at the press conference before the game: "This is our home court, and we hope to present a wonderful game to the fans!"

"So we will not be conservative at home, we will also attack, our goal is to win and then advance to the quarter-finals!"

Juventus said they were going to attack and people would not doubt anything.

But when Luton said they were going to attack, the media thought it was a joke.

Everyone still remembers that when Ajax came to the Worth Stadium, Luton defended with a five-back formation for the entire game. Why did Juventus say they were going to attack?

"If Luton really pushes the attack, maybe Juventus will be the happiest, because then they can pull back and play the counter-attack they are good at. But do Luton need to attack? They There is no need to attack at all, and their head coach Gao Bo is also considered to be the representative of the new utilitarian football. Such a person said to dedicate a wonderful game to the fans? Then we can only wait and see!" Italian media "Turin" The Athletic scoffed.

The media in England also generally believed that what Gao Bo said at the press conference was just casual remarks, and maybe he wanted to confuse Ferrara.

"If Ferrara believes Gao Bo's nonsense, it is estimated that we can see a zero to zero in the first half!" Lineker joked on his main and secondary program "Daily Match".

Gao Bo was actually very helpless when he saw this clip. In order to deal with this game, he made some fine-tuning of the team's tactics. Luton really planned to attack at home! .

I'm not kidding, I really plan to attack, how come no one believes it?

It's really hard to be honest these days.

Gao Bo turned off the TV and sighed. ( )
