Chapter 178 Watching Xiao Gaozi's game
On the day of the game, Worth Field was packed.
Although it can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, England's sunken stadium still creates a very warm atmosphere.
Players from both sides are already waiting to play in the player tunnel. Gao Bo appeared on the coach's bench, and Ranieri also came over at this time. As the host, Gao Bo took the initiative to greet him and shook hands with Ranieri.
"You're doing well in the English First Division, young man."
Ranieri looked at Gao Bo, who looked like he was younger than the players on the field and said with emotion. Ranieri is an old-school coach with a very rich coaching experience, but he has never met an opponent younger than Gao Bo.
Gao Bo blinked, and to be honest, he still feels a little guilty about Ranieri-Kante, Drinkwater, and Vardy are all the future Ranieri to create a miracle in the Premier League in Leicester City. The minister, and now Gao Bo has dug out these three people, I don't know who Ranieri will get to make up for the vacancies of these three people?
"But the one who will win this game will be me."
Ranieri admires Gao Bo, but they are still rivals in this game, so the Italian still expressed his sense of competition before the game.
"Then let's wait and see, Mr. Ranieri!"
After shaking hands, the two returned to their respective seats.
"Roma's recent state is not very good, and I don't know what state they can show in this game." John is already sitting on the coach's bench.
"Not long after Ranieri took over from Roma, the previous games were of no reference. The team has gradually stabilized under Ranieri." Gao Bo shook his head.
The state of Rome was really bad some time ago.
The first two consecutive defeats, and the defeat against Juventus also led to the resignation of coach Spalletti. After Ranieri took office, although Roma had the success of conquering Fiorentina and Naples, they also had three-game losing streaks against AC Milan, Livorno and Udinese. This season, Roma's two coaches have had a very bad start, but considering that Roma made little effort in the transfer market in the summer, they also sold the general Aquilani. Injured soldiers including Totti at the beginning of the season once again affected the team's strength. Roma's difficult start was actually paying for the team's inaction in summer signings.
But Gao Bo knows that this is just a painful period after Ranieri took over Roma. After they lost to Udinese, Ranieri's team will start to go on the right track. Gao Bo vaguely remembers that this season, Roma created an unbeaten record of 24 league games, and even at the end of the season there was still hope of competing for the Serie A championship.
This is a Roma team that is gradually recovering, and it is definitely not to be underestimated.
......
At this time, the referee had already walked out of the player tunnel with the players of the two teams lined up.
In the commentary booth, the commentators are already ready to explain a key game in Group E of the Europa League group stage!
"Good audience friends, the players from both sides have entered the court!!!"
Letkinson also came to the stadium. Letkinson has come to this small stadium many times this season, and he is very familiar with this stadium now.
"Look at the cheers from the Luton fans, here, at their home ground, they have nothing to fear!!!"
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two sides first, first look at the home team Luton, they are still a traditional 442 position, the goalkeeper is Schmeichel, and in the back line, due to Sol Campbell. In the last round of the league, he sprained his ankle. Today, Luton's center back partner became Jeffrey and George Parker. This is Luton's main center back partner last season. The left back is Brazilian teenager Alex San Dero, and the right back is our local teenager Carl Jenkinson. This is the first start of this teenager in the Europa League. In terms of midfield, the starters in the frontcourt are Adam White, Drinkwater, Kanter, Kevin Keene,
On the front line, it is the combination of Vardy and Griezmann. "
"In terms of Rome, Ranieri sent a single striker formation in this game, with 4231 standing, Vucinic appeared on the striker, it seems that Ranieri still chooses to trust the Montenegrin striker. The goalkeeper is Lo Bunt started the game, the center back is the partner of Mex and Juan, the left back Burdisso, the right back Cassetti, the midfielder and midfielder Brigi and De Rossi, and the left midfielder Tadei. , central midfielder Perrotta, right midfielder Menez, and striker Vucinic."
Letkinson reported the starters of both sides in one breath.
"Although they are only from the third tier, I don't know why, I always have inexplicable confidence in them. Even Roma, I'm afraid they can't win at this stadium." Redknapp said aside. .
"Of course, Luton is the team that has beaten the Premier League semi-finals one after another!"
Letkinson laughed aside.
At this point, the players on both sides are already shaking hands, and the game is about to start.
At this time in China, it is already three o'clock in the morning.
The Europa League game has little influence in China, at least compared to the Champions League game, fans who are willing to stay up late to watch the Europa League are definitely the hardcore of this team.
The Champions League is different. For example, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United. Even if they are not fans of one of the two teams, I am afraid they will be willing to get up and enjoy such a game.
And Roma vs Luton?
If it was before, I am afraid that even live broadcasts will not be broadcast in China.
But this game has attracted the attention of many fans.
This is purely because of high waves.
In a small village in Meizhou, Chen Lao quietly turned on the TV.
pat....
The TV that had just been turned on suddenly turned off.
power cut? ! !
Then Chen Lao saw the frowning face of his mother-in-law.
"How old are you to stay up late to watch TV?!!!"
The old lady Chen said with her waist stuck.
"Watch for a while, watch for a while! I go to bed when I see the goal..."
Chen Lao put his hands together and asked, "This is the game of Xiao Gaozi's team."
"Xiao Gaozi's game?" Mrs. Chen thought for a while, "How long does it take to score a goal?"
"Soon, how hard is it to score goals..."
Chen Lao lowered his eyebrows and turned on the TV again.
Only Guangzhou Sports and Shanghai Five-Star Sports have the broadcast rights in China for the Europa League, and both TV stations are broadcasting the match live.
Chen Lao is watching the interpretation of the wide body.
As soon as the TV was turned on, He Hongfa's voice came immediately.
"The players on both sides have stepped into the court, and the game will start immediately!"
At this time, the live TV screen switched to a close-up of Gao Bo.
"It's really Xiao Gaozi, Xiao Gaozi is on TV!!"
Mrs. Chen simply sat down next to Mr. Chen.
"Little Gaozi, when will you come back to see grandma..."
Mrs. Chen greeted the TV.
"He can't hear... Xiao Gaozi is now in the UK, do you know the UK?"
Chen Lao glanced at his wife next to him with contempt.
"I'm happy... can you manage..."
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the old couple in Meizhou cuddled and watched the ball while bickering.
Two shifts in the early morning, three shifts tomorrow morning!
