Chapter 193 Gao Bo Swings the Bus (Forty-Seven/15,513) Chapter 7
Chapter 193 Gaobo swings the bus
The second half of the first half basically became Rome's half-court offense and defense!
In the last few minutes before the end, Roma almost launched a desperate attack, because everyone could see that Luton's physical fitness had reached an extreme!
If Luton is allowed to survive this period, after the fifteen-minute rest, I am afraid that Luton's physical fitness will not be the same as it is now. At least they can defend.
The draw does not quench their thirst for Luton, because even if they get a point, in the last two rounds, it depends on the face of the game between Basel and Luton, and they also need to win Basel.
So the offensive on the Roman side became crazy.
In the forty-fourth minute of the game, Jeffrey jumped, but the football flew over his head.
If he was in good physical condition, Jeffrey would have made a clearance with such a ball, but this time he actually popped the roof.
Luckily there's Saul Campbell behind him to wipe his ass.
Campbell stretched his leg and hooked the ball, and the ball went off the sideline.
Roma's touchline kicked out quickly and they continued to attack.
The fourth official on the sidelines had already raised a sign.
Two minutes of injury time in the first half! !
"There are two minutes left in the first half, but Luton's defense is at stake!! Judging from their movement, their pace is getting heavier and heavier, it seems that there is a real problem with their physical fitness. Yes!!!" Letkinson said with some concern.
"That's it!! Continue to test against them!! They can't stand it anymore!!!!" The Italian commentator shouted from the commentary stand.
The fans at the scene were also cheering for Roma's offense.
“Come on Rome!!!!”
"Kill them!!!!!!"
The Roma fans were quite excited in the stands!
Ranieri is also waving his arms desperately, their central defenders have already pressed the half, and now Luton is completely suppressed in the penalty area! !
Gao Bo's face was calm, he wiped his hand in his trouser pocket and stared at the restricted area.
Now for the Luton players, it's all willpower that keeps them running on the pitch! ! !
almost....
Gao Bo watched the time on the big screen at the scene.
One more minute! ! !
Sol Campbell had just pushed the ball over the baseline and Roma quickly sent the corner into the box.
Schmeichel jumped high, took the ball into his arms, and pressed it to the ground.
The game is over!
Although the referee hadn't blown the whistle yet, Gao Bo immediately turned around and returned to the locker room!
The next fifteen minutes are very crucial for Luton! ! !
Sure enough, Schmeichel used the opportunity to wait until all the players were out of the box to get up from the ground, then kicked the ball out with a big foot.
Before the football could land, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game.
The Roma fans at the scene were still cheering. Although Roma did not overtake the score in the first half, from the perspective of the second half of the game, Roma scored a goal sooner or later.
Ranieri also turned and walked into the player tunnel, and the Roma player also walked into the player tunnel with a trace of regret on his face.
Compared with their opponents, Luton's players are much more embarrassed.
Before walking back to the locker room, the players almost all supported their knees on the court, took several large breaths of air greedily, and made their oxygen-deprived bodies feel a little better before entering the player tunnel.
In Luton, fans are generally worried.
"The physical fitness of the players can't support it..."
"The second half was tough.."
"Hold on!!"
"Actually...even if we lose, it's nothing, we can also qualify."
"Just losing to Roma...I'm really unhappy!!!"
Fans were talking.
"Luton has a major physical crisis now, although they survived the first half, but in the second half,
With their current physical condition, I am afraid it is really difficult to support it! "Letkinson said.
"I'm afraid Luton is really going to be a lot worse in this game. With such a physical condition, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist Rome's offensive for long." Redknapp shook his head.
"Basel are already leading Basel 4-0 at home. If Luton lose this game, they will first need to ensure that they will win CSKA Sofia in the next two rounds, and then face Basel in the second round. You can't lose at this time to make sure you qualify." Letkinson is already analyzing Luton's qualifying situation.
At this point in the Roma locker room, Ranieri is waving his fists.
"Attack!! Press to attack!!"
"Have you seen their performance just now? They have no physical fitness!!! We continue to press on and attack them and destroy them with the attack!! Don't let them have a chance to breathe!!!!"
Ranieri's words resonated with the Roma players, who also collectively chanted after Ranieri finished speaking.
In another locker room, the atmosphere was a little dignified.
At this point in the game, Gao Bo finally made up his mind.
He returned to the locker room early for a simple purpose.
He used the exchange coupon for the blue card.
[Competition card (blue): The physical fitness of the entire team increases by 15% during the game! 】
This is a physical card. Gao Bo didn't want to use the precious blue card at this time, because he felt that there might be more situations in the future that would require cards to be used as an emergency.
But now, Gao Bo can't care so much anymore.
Having a blue card is no big deal compared to losing this game and taking the morale of the team so bad!
Gao Bo's eyes are full of dedication to victory! !
When the players returned to the locker room, they saw Gao Bo who was still smiling with confidence.
"I'm very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half!" Gao Bo said.
"We didn't concede the second goal, which means we have more room to adjust in the second half." Gao Bo turned the tactical board around.
"We changed in the second half, 433!" Gao Bo said, "Kevin moved to the middle, Danny was also standing a little to the left of the middle, and we were in an inverted triangle position in the middle!"
On the tactical board, Kanter, Drinkwater, and Kevin Keane formed an inverted triangle.
And Adam appeared on the front line.
From 442 to 433!
"But.... we became 433 not for offense...but for defense!!!"
"All three of us have retreated, and the three players in the midfield should pay attention to taking care of the space in the middle, Adam!! Anthony!! You two should pay attention to the defense of the wing!! Jamie also retreated!!"
Gao Bo waved his arm: "Once there is a chance to counterattack!!! Both sides quickly go down!! The middle also rushes up!! And the midfield..." Gao Bo looked at Kanter and others, "Don't press down easily!"
"Shrink the defense in the middle!! Save energy!!"
"Roma will definitely come up in the second half. Our tactics in the second half are very simple, steal the ball and then counterattack!!!"
Gao Bo said calmly.
He was not impassioned at this time, but the players felt inexplicable power from his words.
As if doing so, they would win for granted.
Gao Bo's confidence is not without reason.
There are indeed some problems with the players' physical fitness, but if they shrink back to the penalty area and stand in the penalty area to defend, the physical energy consumption will be much smaller than the pressing in the frontcourt. Coupled with the effect of the physical fitness card, the players' physical fitness should survive the second half. Not much of a problem.
The remaining two card combinations are completely set up with defensive counterattacks.
Steal the card plus counterattack card!
Gao Bo has now completely given up pressing in the frontcourt, and has set up a bus in the middle and backcourt!
