Chapter 273 A Little Too Relaxed? (One Hundred and Thirty-Three/One Hundred and Seventy-Three) the Third More
Chapter 273 A little too relaxed?
On the afternoon of April 23, a crowd had already gathered outside the Worth Field.
Luton fans chanted slogans and carried various placards and flags, as well as portraits of players as they walked to the pitch.
It seems to be the same as every game day, but it seems to be a little different.
The atmosphere around the stadium is even more lively!
And in addition to the fans who bought tickets, more fans failed to buy tickets for the stadium - Worth Stadium can only sell 20,000 tickets, and Luton fans are definitely more than 20,000 Woolen cloth.
Fortunately, there are also big screens outside the stadium, and fans can watch the game through the big screen outside the stadium.
And if you watch carefully, there are a lot of fans of other colors mixed with Luton fans - this is of course not the fans of Hamburg, the battle is imminent, how dare the fans of the away team mix with the fans of the home team, in case there is a conflict How to do.
In terms of security, they did not dare to let the fans of both sides come into contact with each other. In the passage at the other door, where the fans of the away team enter the field, there were already two rows of security guards that isolated the passage from other Luton fans.
And among the Hamburg fans, it was a group of Chinese.
They may not be fans, some of them are wearing casual clothes, some are wearing the jerseys of the Chinese national team, and some are even wearing the jerseys of other teams.
However, it is still very easy to separate them. In addition to their looks, there are also the flags in their hands.
Most of the tourists from China carry a small national flag in their hands, and usually the leader will also carry a large national flag for easy guidance.
Luton's progress to the semi-finals also caused a stir in China.
Now all the Chinese know that the Chinese coach led a small team to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
"Win glory for the country!!"
This is a vocabulary that many Chinese media always mention when reporting, and in China, people also eat this kind of nationalism very much.
Gao Bo has achieved such an achievement in Europe, and many Chinese people will also feel and proud of it.
This is actually a normal feeling.
This is how people feel when you see compatriots from the same background as you achieve so much in a field that the Chinese are not good at.
The world is, after all, divided by nations and nations.
Businessmen are the most sensitive.
When the news of Luton reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League came out, some tour groups took the opportunity to launch Luton tours - most of them were groups that could not buy tickets, of course, there were also a few tour groups that bought tickets.
But even if there is no way to go to the stadium to watch the ball, there are still quite a lot of tourists who sign up for the tour.
So at this time outside the Worth Stadium, you can see this batch of Chinese tourists.
.....
Luton's bus pulled into the stadium's parking lot more than an hour before the game.
Under the cheers of the fans and the constant flash of the camera, Gao Bo led the team into the locker room of the stadium.
Soon, the players showed up on the court and started to warm up.
The atmosphere at Worth Field reached its climax for the first time!
Cheers came and went, and the sound even shook the apartment nearby.
In fact, in the nearby Tiantai Mountain, a circle of apartments, there are also many fans standing watching the game with binoculars.
The players were talking and laughing and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.
But John, who was in charge of directing the team's warm-up, frowned.
He thinks the team is a little... too relaxed!
During the warm-up shooting, Griezmann volleyed outside the penalty area, and the football drilled into the goal beautifully.
And the audience at the scene also cheered with great cooperation.
Griezmann even wanted to do his 666 dance again, but fortunately he saw John's bad expression, so he hurried away.
Griezmann's performance is just a microcosm.
In John's view, the war is imminent, it is not good to be too nervous, but if it is too relaxed...I am afraid it is not a good thing for the team, right?
.....
Gao Bo generally doesn't care about the team's warm-up, and he is now staying in the locker room.
On the tactical board, he wrote the starting lineup of today's opponents one by one.
Goalkeeper: No. 1 Rost!
Back line: right back Demel, right center back Rozenal, left center back Mattison, left back Boateng
Midfield: right midfielder Trosovsky, midfielder Yarolim, center midfielder Ze Roberto, left midfielder Elia.
Forward: No. 10 Petric, No. 16 Borg!
In this lineup, Gao Bo is more familiar with Boateng, the starting left back of the Hamburg team today, because this man was later dug up by the Bundesliga excavator Bayern Munich and became the main center back of the foreign Bundesliga overlord.
However, when Boateng first debuted, he did not play as a central defender. He played at left and right full backs before being fixed at the central defender position.
The other players of the Hamburg team are not too famous, but not too famous does not mean that they are not strong.
Elia on the 11th is a Dutch winger and a Dutch international player. He is a substitute for Robben in the Dutch national team. He is fast and is definitely a sharp blade in counterattack!
Croatian striker Petric is also a famous player in the Bundesliga. He is very dexterous, has good pass control and imaginative passing.
He made a name for himself in Basel and was the top scorer in the Swiss league. Later, he also performed well in his transfer to the Bundesliga giants Dortmund. Now he is the absolute core of the Hamburg striker.
It can be said that the current batch of players in Hamburg are all powerful players who have made a name for themselves in the Bundesliga, just because the players who play in the Bundesliga, especially those who play in other teams other than Bayern Munich, are generally not as well-known. Players in La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League are well-known, so many fans who don’t watch the Bundesliga don’t know much about these players.
The players quickly returned to the locker room.
Gao Bo also made preparations before the game.
"This is the opponent's starting list today. We have analyzed the players in Hamburg these days, and I believe you have some understanding of these players!"
Gao Bo said in combination with the opponent's starting list.
There was not much to explain before the game. After finally boosting morale, the players walked out of the locker room and waited in the player tunnel to play.
After the players all went out, John stopped Gao Bo, and he talked about the situation of the warm-up training.
"I always feel that they are too relaxed, so relaxed that I feel a little uneasy!" John frowned and said worriedly.
Gao Bo did not expect this.
Because all of his teams play in the Europa League as a third-tier team, they have always been underestimated by Luton. How can Luton's players be too relaxed?
But John's reminder made Gao Bo react.
Yes, as the team eliminated these strong teams, the confidence of the players has been unprecedentedly high, and it is normal that the players are not nervous in the face of Hamburg this time.
"That's a problem, John!"
Gao Bo stopped and thought about it carefully.
"But we don't have to worry too much. When they are on the court, they will naturally get nervous."
Gao Bo comforted and said, but he was also muttering in his heart. After all, he didn't consider this aspect before the game, which made Gao Bo feel a little uneasy. ( )
