Chapter 30 Efficiency is King
In the next game, Luton still did not have the ball in most of the time, but now everyone knows that Luton did not focus on the fight for the ball, even though it is the Nottingham Forest side that is in control. But the rhythm of the game is in the hands of the home team Luton.
Just before the end of the first half, Luton had several opportunities to threaten the Nottingham Forest goal. If it were not for the outstanding performance of Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp, the score would have been more than two to zero.
Gao Bo is quite satisfied with this, and he is in control of the game.
The first half passed quickly, and the home team led by two goals. The fans in the stands gave their applause to the Luton players and coach without hesitation.
During the intermission, Gao Bo praised Vardy's performance in the first half and also praised the team's performance. The content of the usual training is completely played out. The defensive formation is tight, the discipline is maintained well, and the counterattack speed is good. The efficiency is quite high, and Gao Bo has nothing to say. The winning team will not take the initiative to change, so he just asks the team to play like the first half.
In another dressing room, it was a different scene.
Billy Davis was furious at this time, he vented all the anger accumulated in the first half to the forest team players. In the locker room, almost all the starting players were scolded by him...
As a British championship-level team, it is so embarrassed in front of a second division team. Billy Davis has long been blown up by such a scene.
He didn't think it was how strong the Luton team was. Although Vardy seemed to be fast and able to seize opportunities, the midfield combination of Kanter and Drinkwater was outstanding on both ends of the offense and defense, but Billy Davis believes that all this is because the Forest team did not pay enough attention to this game, and it was the result of their underestimation of the enemy!
Where can the second division team that has gone most of the main players be strong?
Billy Davis believes that the Forest team is much better than Luton, but the player's on-the-spot performance on the football field is an important factor in determining the direction of a game. Therefore, he must completely scold Nottingham Forest during the intermission. wake.
Nottingham Forest has long been no longer the red whirlwind that smashed Europe back then, but they are not a weak underdog, let alone a team two levels lower than them!
The fanatical stand has cooled down slightly due to the intermission.
The fans also have to take advantage of the halftime break, and then continue to fight with the team in the second half.
Roy is sitting in the media booth, she is struggling to write.
Even though she was angry at the thought of Gao Bo, her ethics as a media professional still requires her to record the news truthfully.
"... Luton in the first half seems to have been suppressed by the Forest team, but in the first half of about 30 minutes, Luton team suddenly exerted force, their two goals are very similar. If you have watched their first round of league games, you will find that Luton's goals are almost always scored in this way: through a dense formation of defense, the opponent's offense is helpless, and when the steal is successful, Luton's counterattack speed is very fast!!! A few passes can develop the ball to the deadly zone. And they have two forwards Vardy and Charlie Austin are not slow, Vardy's shooting skills are superb, and Charlie Austin's running position is also very delicate, the cooperation between the two is close, and more importantly, these two forwards will participate in the defense, and no one in Luton has the privilege of not defending. "
"...From these two games, Gao Bo's transformation of the team is very successful!"
Roy closed the notebook.
The main audience of the "Hat Seller" she is in is the local residents of Luton, which is highly overlapped with Luton's fan groups, so news about Luton's team is very important for this newspaper.
Although he does not want to admit it, Gao Bo is indeed a competent coach.
The thought of this made Roy a little frustrated.
Why does talent always appear in the hands of those bastards!
"Asshole!!!"
The thought of Gao Bo's eyes on her chest made Roy out of anger.
"Miss Roy! Don't be unharmed!"
Gao Bo came out of the locker room in advance. After briefly explaining some details of the second half, Gao Bo left the locker room to the players.
Roy turned his head and saw Gao Bo coming out of the player channel.
"Mr. Gao Bo, the intermission is a very important time for the coach." Roy turned his head, seemingly reluctant to look at Gao Bo.
"For others, not for me..." Gao Bo suddenly leaned over.
The media bench is next to the player aisle, and Roy is sitting on the far side. When Roy is sitting, Gao Bo stands on the player aisle just as high as Roy.
Roy suddenly felt a breath. She turned her head and saw Gao Bo's face.
Oh... it's pretty handsome...
Before Roy could react, Gao Bo turned away.
"Because I am a liar coach, Miss Roy!"
Looking at Gao Bo's back, Roy was anxious She was just about to fight back when the DJ on the spot made a huge sound.
"Luton fans!! The second half of the game will begin soon!!! Now let us welcome the Luton heroes back to the stadium!!!"
There was a huge sound at the scene, so that Roy could only watch Gao Bo go further and further away from his back and chop his feet.
In the second half of the game, Nottingham Forest launched a fierce offensive as soon as it came up. But Luton's immediately used a counterattack, completely extinguishing the arrogance of Nottingham Forest counterattack.
This time it was Charlie Austin who scored.
Dlinkwater made a long pass to the side, and Lewis Emanuel sent it from the bottom line. Charlie Austin scored a header from the center of the penalty area to expand the score to three to zero! !
"Nottingham Forest suffered a rout. Luton is really surprising as a team. There is a statistic that is expected to shock all fans. Up to now, Nottingham Forest has shot three times, without exception. Fly, and Luton also has three shots here, three shots within the range of the goal frame, three goals!! Such a goal efficiency is really amazing!" The commentator exclaimed.
Gao Bo was not so excited for the third goal. He stood up and applauded, then sat down soon afterwards.
The final result of this game was 3-0. Luton defeated Nottingham Forest at home and advanced to the second round of the League Cup!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game and Gao Bo walked to the coaching bench in Nottingham Forest with a smile, Billy Davis had a sullen face and barely touched Gao Bo before returning to the locker room.
The lads of Nottingham Forest probably will have it in a while.
Gao Bo and the players stayed on the court to celebrate the victory.
Two consecutive victories at the start of the new season gave Gao Bo full of confidence in his tactics.
