Chapter 161 Small Goals of the Europa League (15/155+12)

Chapter 161 Small goals of the Europa League

After the home victory over Millwall, the team finally ushered in a short adjustment interval after a fiendish schedule at the beginning of the season.

The team's next game is on September 17, in the away game against Sofia Central 6th Army.

Although it was only five days apart, compared to the rhythm of the previous three days and one match, it was already a small break after five days.

Gao Bo decided to give the team a day off after the match against Millwall before leaving for Bulgaria on September 15.

Taking advantage of the team's holiday, Gao Bo went to the youth training camp to visit Li Yuanshan.

Gao Bo is still very concerned about Li Yuanshan's condition. The staff of the youth training academy gave a very detailed report on Li Yuanshan, and Gao Bo has read it carefully.

Although the basic skills are not very good, the fifteen-year-old boy is still enough to gain a foothold in Luton's youth academy with his strong body.

"How have you been playing recently?"

Gao Bo took Li Yuanshan out to eat at a local Chinese restaurant in Luton.

This is the place where Gao Bo often goes to eat, but the owner is not Chinese.

"It's okay, there are still a lot of games played recently. The teams in England are much stronger than ours in China!"

Although Li Yuanshan can't play official games, the youth academy is not only going to play the U-series leagues and cups under the FA, but also often organize some friendly matches or something.

England isn't that big anyway.

Many teams will use this method to make the academies play more games.

So Li Yuanshan doesn't have to worry about not playing in England.

Gao Bo used the system to look at Li Yuanshan's stats. His technical stats have improved considerably. After coming to England for more than two months, Li Yuanshan's shooting stats have reached 67, despite the fact that English players of the same age as him The average is not as good, but this is also based on his low base.

"You should use your brain more during the game, don't just think about your body. In the professional arena, there are some who are physically stronger than you. Don't look at the fact that you can get a foothold in the youth academy now, but going from the youth academy to the professional arena is a different concept. !"

Li Yuanshan nodded, and now he feels more and more that it is not Gao Bo who is sitting in front of him, but Chen Lao......

However, Li Yuanshan also knew that Gao Bo would say this because he regarded him as his own. Otherwise, there are more than 100 people in the youth training academy, so why should Gao Bo say these words to himself alone.

Gao Bo planned to take a look at Li Yuanshan's training situation first. Now Li Yuanshan is obviously not up to the standard of playing in the professional arena, but it is not a solution to the growth of the players just by playing friendly games without official games.

"You can't let go of your basic skills!" Gao Bo said.

"If you can complete the training plan I gave you before the winter window..."

Li Yuanshan raised his head, he actually wanted to play an official game.

"I'll take you to Portugal!"

Gao Bo said. Don't think about Li Yuanshan's labor certificate. He is Chinese, and it is impossible for him to get an EU passport. However, the Portuguese team does not need a labor certificate.

Portugal is naturally impossible, Gao Bo is going to find a Portuguese League for Li Yuanshan to try.

Li Yuanshan is still young, so Gao Bo is not in a hurry. His little fellow has the physique of a natural athlete, and can be regarded as a kind of gifted person.

But whether he can succeed, or how much he can achieve in the future, depends more on his own efforts.

Gao Bo is just a guide on Li Yuanshan's growth path. How fast he runs depends on himself.

After a day off, the team began to prepare again.

On September 15, the team took a flight from London to Bulgaria.

The English media is still very concerned about Luton's road trip this time. After all, Luton is probably the first team in the history of the First Division to compete in the Europa League. What kind of performance can they show in the Europa League? It's the subject of all the English media attention.

Some media believe that Gao Bo will strategically abandon the Europa League.

"...Even if Luton put all their energy into the Europa League, but so what? Can they still win? So the Chinese coach will probably give up the Europa League, of course, I said It may not be accurate to give up, Gao Bo may not put too much energy on the European game, after all, for Luton, the task of upgrading this season is very heavy-Charlton and Leeds United two goals The team's performance is very good, and if Luton can't bite the top two in the league, they may end up playing the promotion play-offs - it is difficult to say whether Luton will be promoted under such a competition system. ."

Can Luton win the Europa League again?

The logic of the media is actually correct. After all, if you invest too much energy in a tournament that is destined to fail to win the championship, if you delay the promotion of this season, it will not be worth the loss.

But Gao Bo doesn't think so, he really wants to win the championship now...

When the plane crossed Europe 6 and landed in Sofia, Bulgaria, Gao Bo first set foot on this Balkan country.

Speaking of Bulgaria, Chinese fans may not be familiar with it, but Bulgarian football was a powerhouse in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, Bulgaria had Stoykikov, Lechekov and Balako. In recent years, Bulgaria has also produced stars such as Berbatov and Bodinov.

Sofia is undoubtedly a very beautiful city. The roads from the airport to the urban area are hidden in a lush green bush. Rows of linden trees, Arabic rubber trees, French plane trees, Canadian poplar trees, etc., are neatly arranged on the roads. both sides.

This is a world-famous garden city, and if it weren't for the game, Gao Bo really wanted to visit the city.

But now Gao Bo has no time to pay attention to the beauty of Sofia, he is still studying the opponent of this game - Sofia Central 6th Army.

The dominant team in the Bulgarian league has won 28 league titles so far! As can be seen from their name, the relationship between this team and the Bulgarian army is still very close.

The two most famous stars in the history of Bulgarian football are both from the team - in the 1989-199o season, Stoichkov won the European Golden Boot Award with 38 goals, and has since established his status in the arena; in 1998, Berbatore He made his professional debut in the Sofia Central 6th Army, and ten years later, he joined Manchester United for £3o750,000, setting a record for the highest transfer fee for a Bulgarian player.

Berbatov only moved to Manchester United the previous season, and being able to cultivate a star like Berbatov shows that the Bulgarian league also has considerable strength.

....

"Is Luton still thinking about winning the Europa League?"

In the humble visiting locker room of the Bulgarian Army Stadium, Gao Bo wrote this sentence on the tactical board.

When the players returning from the warm-up returned to the locker room, they saw this sentence at first sight.

"A lot of the English media recently used this sentence to prove that we will give up the Europa League."

The players were a little strange, but Gao Bo said calmly.

"Will we give up the Europa League?" Gao Bo shrugged, "It depends on what we think."

"If we change our minds, are we going to give up this game?"

"Jamie, tell me? Have you thought about giving up?"

"Never! Boss!!!"

Vardy exclaimed.

Gao Bo nodded with satisfaction. When he needed to boost the morale of the team, Vardy, who was always full of fighting spirit, was the best candidate.

"That's right!! I won't give up this game either."

"As for the Europa League..." Gao Bo pointed to the word Europa League on the tactical board, and then his finger unconsciously jumped to the word "champion".

Players are naturally eager for championships, but they are only a league team, can they really?

"I'll tell you a story, have you heard of Yamada Benichi?" Gao Bo asked.

The players looked at him in dismay, how could they have heard of this man?

Gao Bo is very familiar with this person, because the chicken soup for the soul of Yamada Honichi was still very popular in China.

In 1984, in the Tokyo International Marathon Invitational, the little-known Japanese runner Yamada Benichi unexpectedly won the world championship. When a reporter asked him why he achieved such amazing results, he said something like this: Victory over opponents with wisdom.

Everyone was puzzled by what he called "wisdom". 10 years later, he revealed the truth of this "wisdom" in his autobiography: "Before each race, I have to take a car to read the route of the race carefully, and draw the more eye-catching signs along the way. For example, the first sign is a bank; the second sign is a big tree; the third sign is a red house... This is how I draw it until the end of the race. After the race started, I worked hard at the speed of a 100-meter race. I rushed towards the first goal, and after reaching the first goal, I rushed to the second goal at the same speed. The race of more than 40 kilometers was easily broken down into these small goals. Finished the run. At first, I didn't understand the truth. I set my goal on the flag at the finish line more than 40 kilometers away. As a result, when I ran more than ten kilometers, I was exhausted because I was I was intimidated by the long distance ahead."

After Gao Bo finished the story, he had to say that the reason why these classic chicken soup for the soul became popular is that these stories may be really nutritious.

Yamada Honichi's story is actually a method of breaking down a big goal into several smaller goals.

"A big goal is always so far away from people's eyes, and it's even prohibitive for people. In fact, breaking the big goal into small goals will have unexpected effects!" Gao Bo paused for a while, and waited until the players digested it. After that, he continued: "It's the same for us. To be honest, I really want to win the Europa League. Who doesn't want this title?"

The players in the dressing room are naturally eager to win the Europa League. The most experienced Sol Campbell is also very eager for this championship. Sol Campbell has won the British championship, but in the European war, he also Didn't get any honors yet.

It's just that he failed to win a European championship at Tottenham and Arsenal that year. Is it enough to go to Luton?

Sol Campbell is still very skeptical, but not everyone is the old fritter Sol Campbell, the young people in Luton are easily attracted by Gao Bo's words.

"So, since winning the Europa League is an unattainable goal for us, let's set a small goal first!"

"Let's get out of the group first!!"

"Let's start with this game! Beat them!! Take three points!!!"

There is unquestionable power in Gao Bo's calm words, and the players will not question the head coach they absolutely trust.

Since the head coach said so, then they will work hard on the field!
