Chapter 258 Low-Key
It is not surprising that Luton beat Charlton away.
Sky Sports wrote in a media report on the second day: "With Luton's strength, they should have occupied the top position in the league long ago, but in order to take into account the Europa League, this makes Luton's position in the league. The results have been affected, so Charlton has been able to occupy the top position for a long time. But this game made people see that in addition to Luton, the most powerful team in the first division, Charlton, faced Luton. It was almost impossible to fight back! Luton won the away game almost easily!"
"After the game, Charlton's coach Parkkinson also said in an interview that unless Luton makes a mistake in the next nine rounds of the league, it will be difficult for Charlton to continue to catch up with Luton! Luton's strength It is the only one in the First Division, even Charlton had to shrink the defense when facing them!"
"In fact, in the second half of the game, coach Gao Bo's substitution meant to train troops. He tried several combinations of strikers. It seems that Luton is already preparing for the away game at Wolfsburg! "
The media have been talking about this. Most English media believe that although Luton is only two points ahead of Charlton, it is actually difficult for Charlton to surpass this score.
It is too difficult for these next opponents to defeat Luton, who is now in full swing. At least the English media can't think of what opponent Luton will lose.
In the next few rounds of the league, it would not be surprising if Luton won a full victory.
And just as the media was talking about it, the Luton team had already boarded a plane and came to Wolfsburg!
Wolfsburg is located in Lower Saxony in northern Germany, where Volkswagen's headquarters is located. In fact, the main sponsor of Wolfsburg is the Volkswagen Group!
In fact, the entire city of Wolfsburg is closely linked to the Volkswagen Group-the city was established in 1938 under Hitler's order to house Volkswagen employees.
This is the famous automobile city in the world!
And Luton's opponent, Wolfsburg club's recent situation is not too good.
Although now the points are gradually climbing to ninth under the leadership of acting coach Costner, but in fact, Wolfsburg's results are not stable today.
This instability is the instability of the entire team!
Take the recent games as an example.
They defeated Bochum four-to-one on March 6th, followed by a four-to-zero victory over Monchengladbach!
Just when all the Wolfsburg fans chanted long live Costner, they immediately lost to Hertha Berlin at home 5-1!
Then they defeated Hoffenheim 4-0, and then defeated Mainz 4-0.
This rhythm puts the hearts of Wolfsburg's supporters to the test.
A big victory, then a big defeat!
The unstable situation of Wolfsburg makes it difficult to predict him!
This team is so unstable that Gao Bo has a headache for this game.
Do you know what their status is in the first round of the Europa League quarterfinals?
Should Wolfsburg come up with their state of victory, Luton may be uncomfortable on the road.
And Wolfsburg still has a few very good players.
Bosnia-Herzegovina center Dzeko has a height of 193 centimeters, he is the forward sharp knife of Wolfsburg. The Bosnia-Herzegovina striker started to explode last season. The black and white doubles formed by Dzeko and Grafit led Wolfsburg all the way. Dzeko scored 25 league goals in 33 games. Entering May 2009, Dzeko performed a hat trick in the two-week match against Hoffenheim and Hannover. In just 4 games in May, he has scored 9 goals. This also directly helps Wolfsburg to ensure the Bundesliga championship in the 2008 season.
And so far this season, the Bosnia-Herzegovina high center has scored 18 goals in the league, ranking first in the Bundesliga scorer list!
Andrea Barzagli on the back line, the Italian central defender is one of the best in the world. His one-on-one defensive skills are very good, and he has an outstanding sense of position and accurate prediction. Very stable play!
In midfield, Wolfsburg still has players like Misimović. This is another player from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is the core of Wolfsburg's frontcourt. He went to the frontcourt to do a very good job. His inspiration and imagination are absolutely world-class. Coupled with Misimović's outstanding free kick technique, the Bosnia-Herzegovina midfielder plays a huge role in Wolfsburg.
In addition, right-back Litte, left-back Fischer, midfielder Josue, Japanese midfielder Makoto Hasebe, Gentner, and Dzeko's striker partner Grafit are all in the Wolfsburg team. Master!
Judging from the lineup Wolfsburg has a very strong lineup, which is clearly out of proportion to their current ranking in the Bundesliga.
Even after the coaching change, Wolfsburg still had a lot of problems. The loose formation and habitual defensive short-circuit made them difficult in the Bundesliga. The defending champion is unlikely to even get the top five this season!
The weather in Germany is good, although the temperature in Germany in April is still very low, but the sun is warm, the players still feel very comfortable.
This makes Gao Bo more or less relieved about this game.
The away game will always be a little bit tougher, if the weather can be met, of course it is best.
After two days of adaptation, the time of the game is getting closer.
The day before the game, Gao Bo attended the pre-match press conference in the hotel.
The German journalist's question is not tricky, and Gao Bo only gave a formulaic answer.
"Wolfsburg is a strong team. They performed very well on the offensive end and have many outstanding players. We will pay great attention to them!"
"The goal of this game? Of course we are going all out to fight for a victory in the away game!"
Gao Bo's press conference was very brief.
On the other side, his opponent, Wolfsburg's acting head coach Costner, also performed very low-key at the press conference.
"I don't think of Luton as a third-level team. The team that can eliminate Juventus is definitely a strong team. There is no doubt about it!"
"We hope to reach the semi-finals, so the home game is very important. Luton has an outstanding record at home. If we want to eliminate them, we must achieve as much better results as possible on our home court!"
The coaches on both sides were very low-key before the game.
