Chapter 69 The Inevitable Wave of Injuries
Drawing Manchester City made Gao Bo think more.
The state of Manchester City this season is very unstable. Now Manchester City is not the champion of the Premier League a few years later. They bought a few stars, but this team is very messy and can’t form a whole. This is what they are sitting on. The reason why several first-class stars struggled so much in the Premier League!
In fact, it is like Manchester City. A small team suddenly got the investment of the big gold master, and then crazy introduction of strong support, the results are often not as expected. A team can definitely not become a strong team by stacking up stars. It is not enough to have a group of stars. They also need to integrate these stars to form an overall joint force in order to bring out the abilities of these stars.
If they beat Manchester City in the fifth round, Luton would have reached the quarterfinals. If the quarterfinals are lucky enough to draw a slightly less strong team, after entering the semi-finals, there are two games left to win the championship... Maybe it is really worth fighting for!
FA Cup champion? And still leading a second division team to win the championship, it is estimated that this will be the biggest dark horse counterattack in the history of the FA Cup, right?
Gao Bo is full of expectations for such a challenging achievement!
Gao Bo opened the calendar and checked the team's schedule.
The fifth round of the FA Cup will be held on February 14th, and there are still more than 20 days to go. However, during this time Luton does not have many tasks for the game, only there are three rounds in January. League, as well as an English championship and a league in early February.
Played five games in more than 20 days, one of which was still an insignificant small cup. This schedule gave Gao Bo a lot of room for maneuver. He can even do no rotation in the league. Let the main team do their best to deal with Manchester City, without worrying about any physical problems.
…….
After Gao Bo made a decision, the work of the team's coaching staff began to revolve around the task of defeating Manchester City.
Lin Sen was sent out by Gao Bo. Although there are a lot of news about Manchester City in the media, Gao Bo still needs more accurate and detailed things. Lin Sen is responsible for observing Manchester City's games and their training conditions. A Manchester City player who is likely to play in the FA Cup made an assessment report.
This is a tedious job.
But the plan can't keep up with the changes.
On January 24, Luton played against Bradford at home.
Bradford is now on the same score as Luton, but because of goal difference, they rank behind Luton in the league.
At the beginning of the away game, Bradford put on a defensive posture. In the face of this situation, Luton is actually used to it. Most of the second division teams now face Luton in this way. Weak strategy, they stick to the penalty area, and then put one or two fast forwards in front, steal one if they have a chance, and fight for a tie if there is no chance.
The first half of the game was uneventful. At the end of the first half, Luton finally knocked on the opponent's tortoise shell.
Taking advantage of a corner kick, Luton drove the ball into the penalty area.
The center back Jeffrey leaped high and pressed the opposing center back with a header to direct the ball to the goal. Bradford's goalkeeper made a wonderful save. He reached for a block and blocked the ball, but Charlie -Austin's clever movement in the penalty area gave him a chance to make a supplementary shot. When Charlie interfered with the next kick and kicked the ball towards the goal, the goalkeeper had no choice.
In this game, Gao Bo used the card that boosted his header by 7% on Jeffrey, which made the center back, who was already good at headers and bouncing well, improved his head skills.
And now the eighteen-year-old Jeffrey has become a lot more mature after honed in the league during this period. His comprehensive ability in all aspects has been improved a lot compared to six months ago.
"This kid can be used as a center!"
Gao Bo clapped his hands, applauded his disciple's outstanding performance, and said to the assistant coach John next to him.
The fans at the Wosi Stadium also cheered. Such a goal scene is commonplace at the Wosi Stadium this season. Charlie Austin is the team's No. 2 scorer, and the whole stadium is chanting the name of the goal hero.
Soon the fans felt that something was wrong, because the scoring hero Charlie Austin was still lying on the ground and did not get up to celebrate. Instead, he covered his ankles with his hands...
Sakuragi Haruko quickly ran into the field with his two assistants.
After a simple check, Haruko shook her head outside the court and made a gesture for substitution.
Charlie Austin can't hold on anymore, he is injured and will be replaced.
Gao Bo cursed secretly. Fortunately, at this time the first half of the game was almost over. Gao Bo simply asked the team to challenge the ten players and passed the last few dozen seconds of the first half.
"Charlie's ankle is already swollen, we are going back to take a picture now, hope his ligament is not injured..."
Haruko walked up to Gao Bo and said in a low voice. Judging from her expression, Charlie’s injury was not easy...
In the second half of the game, Blatter's range did not pose any threat to Luton's defense. Substitute high center Matt Schmidt scored a header and locked the score to two to zero.
Because Exeter, ranked sixth in the league, lost this round of the league. After winning, Luton scored forty-three points and squeezed into seventh in the league.
But Gao Bo, who had injured a general, was unhappy with the result.
After the game, Charlie’s injury report was also submitted. Fortunately, no ligament was injured. Charlie just missed the team’s game for two weeks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. What a serious injury. In his impression, Charlie Austin in his previous life was ultimately constrained by his frequently injured ankle and failed to make further progress in his career...
Charlie’s injury seems to have opened a Pandora’s box of injuries.
On January 28th, Luton challenged Bournemouth away. Although Luton defeated his opponent with two headers from high center forward Matt Schmidt, in the 83rd minute of the game, the ball After the team midfielder Drinkwater collided with his opponent, he fell to the ground and suffered a slight concussion on his head. At this time, Luton no longer had a place for substitutions. At the last moment, Luton was forced to challenge with ten players. Fortunately, Luton's defense was solid enough to withstand the opponent's last-minute onslaught.
The last league game in January, on January 31st, Luton played against Burleigh at home.
Luton secured the victory in the first half of the game. After two "goal shortages" striker Vardy scored twice in the first half, and Matt Schmidt, who got started because Charlie was injured. It also helped the team score a goal, and the two forwards were in excellent condition.
But at the beginning of the second half, the team captain Kevin Keane suddenly sat on the ground without confrontation, clutching his back thigh muscles.
Thirty-two year old veteran strained his hind leg muscles...
This is the third player on Luton's injury list this time.
In December, when the schedule was the tightest, Luton did not suffer any injuries. In January, when there were not so many matches, Luton suffered continuous injuries to the main players, which made Gao Bo quite helpless.
However, injury is something that every team needs to face. Luton is no exception. When things are coming, they can only say that they are out of luck.
