Chapter 85 The Battle of Coventry Part 1

Chapter 85: The Battle of Coventry

There are still more than two months before the end of the season, so Gao Bo is not in a hurry to agree to any offer.

He needs Charlie's consistent high-light performance, which is like packaging, and the better Charlie's performance, the more he can sell. Because boss David Morton has promised to transfer all the transfer fee to next season's signing budget, Gao Bo is now working very hard to package Charlie brightly to attract the attention of customers.

On February 28th, in the 33rd round of the league, Luton faced Shrewsbury at home.

As Brentford, second in the league, and the top team, Wycombe Rovers, played first in this round of the league, they lost one after another, while Burleigh, the third in the league, suffered a two-game losing streak. As long as Luton beat Shrewsbury in the game, they can overtake Brentford and come to the second place in the league, only seven points behind Wycombe Rovers!

So Luton was very excited about this game, and Charlie Austin was also in great shape. He scored two goals in this game, which was his twelfth goal in four rounds. The ball is gone, and such a crazy state has brought him the attention of the English media. The Second Division is a professional league anyway, scoring eleven goals in four rounds and averaging three goals per game, which is equivalent to a hat-trick in four consecutive rounds! A forward in such a crazy state, even those mainstream media have paid attention.

Blackburn withdrew from the "Charlie Austin" competition, and now joined the top-flight giants, including Manchester United, Liverpool and other super giants, also interested in Charlie Austin .

After all, this is a young man who is only nineteen years old, and more importantly, he is still English!

This makes Charlie Austin attractive enough.

The win in this round brought Luton closer to the top of the table, and four days after the match, on March 4, the team played away to Port Vale in the thirty-fourth round of the league.

Speaking of which, Port Vale also has a forward who has a grudge against the team, that is, Sam Parker, who was originally used by Gao Bo to trade for Matt Smit.

However, the former Luton striker has also lost his main role in Port Vale. Port Vale has struggled this season. They are only two points ahead of the relegation zone. Their defense is doing well, but the team's weak attacking They got too many zeros to zeros...

So in the second half of the league, Port Vale's head coach adjusted the team's attacking lineup, and Sam Parker could only sit on the bench for this game.

And Matt Schmidt, who originally exchanged him from Port Vale, was the starter of this game. Although he is also a backup striker, Matt Schmidt still got a lot of playing opportunities in Luton, but with a player like Sam Parker who is on the bench and it is difficult to get a chance to play. He is a regular backup in the hands of Gao Bo, and he gets a chance to play more or less in almost every game.

Since the FA Cup quarter-finals are about to start in three days, Luton will go to the Ricoh Stadium to challenge Coventry. Now the FA Cup game has been adjusted by Gao Bo to the level of priority over the league, so this game Gao Bo decided to rest some of the main players.

However, Charlie Austin did not rest, he continued to brush the data on the court.

In the 27th minute of the game, he scored again. Matt Schmidt's header from the penalty area was ferried to the back point, and Charlie Austin scored from the back point to help Luton take the lead.

Then the game Port Vale failed to get a bargain at Luton's feet. Charlie Austin dribbled the ball into the box again with a counter-attack early in the second half, before Matt Schmidt headed home Port Vale through a corner.

Luton beat their opponents 3-0 away, and they are now after 34 rounds of the league,

Already got 67 points! And with Wycombe Wanderers being drawn away by Notts County in this round, Luton are now only five points away from the top of the table! !

Five points difference! !

From minus 30 points to only five points away from the top of the table, Gao Bo's team is not far from creating a miracle, and they still have 12 games to create a championship legend belonging to the Second Division.

And now, they want to create a legendary record in another arena.

On March 7th, the team came to Coventry. This is the FA Cup quarter-final match. As long as Luton reach the quarter-finals, their next FA Cup match should be at Wembley. profit.

Coventry is a city in the West Midlands, England. It was once the center of the textile industry and once the four major cities in the United Kingdom, but it is now a yellow flower. Although Coventry is now a big city in England, with a population of 350,000 people, this population is comparable to the size of a big city under London in England, but in Gao Bo’s view, this scale is similar to that of China. Small county towns are no different.

Gao Bo is from Meizhou, Guangdong. Meizhou is not a big city in Guangdong, and it is a little-known small city in the whole country, but the registered population of Meizhou is more than 5 million...

So for 350,000 people to be called a big city, Gao Bo's expression can only be EMMMMMMM...... expressing understanding.

Anyway, John doesn't believe that Gao Bo is from a small city with a population of five million. John doesn't even believe that in addition to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there are cities with more than one million people...

For this reason, John specifically found Lin Sen to verify...

Lin Sen thought for a while, and said to John: "John... I come from a small town under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province, China... It's called Donghai County. In China, there are too many such small towns, so many people don't even I've heard the name of my hometown, but my hometown has a population of more than one million people..."

John and other British guys looked like they had seen a ghost, and they could only feel that China is indeed a populous country...

This is just a small episode of the team coming to Coventry, Gao Bo is more concerned about this FA Cup opponent.

The head coach of Coventry is Coleman. Speaking of this gentleman, the reason why he was noticed by the media is that he is a good friend of Mourinho. …

Gao Bo's previous life had no influence on this buddy, so he could only rely on the current data to analyze this opponent.

It's a crucial battle, but it's just the beginning of the challenge. Because Gao Bo has already set his sights on winning the FA Cup, Coventry is just the weakest opponent to beat on the way to the title. If Luton reaches the semi-finals, no matter who they face next, it will be a big team from the Premier League.

Arsenal or Liverpool? Or is it Everton?

These three teams will likely reach the semi-finals, which are also Luton's opponents in the semi-finals.

So although Gao Bo looks confident, he has no certainty of winning against these opponents.

But no matter what, Luton first wants to beat the current team, Coventry from the British Championship!
