Chapter 295 The End of the League (One Hundred and Fifty-Four/One Hundred and Seventy-Four) Chapter 3
Chapter two hundred and ninety-five league ends
The newly-promoted Luton of the First Division won the First Division championship, which became the focus of the whole England after the game.
Luton fell to the bottom since he was deducted 30 points. He didn't expect to hit the bottom and rebound. The soul character here is naturally Gao Bo!
Gao Bo led the team to be promoted from the Second Division to the First Division, and then led Luton back to the English Championship, which is naturally awe-inspiring!
And more importantly, Gao Bo is not only the champion of the lower leagues, he also won the FA Cup last season, and this season he led the team to the final of the Europa League! !
At the age of only twenty-eight years, such an incredible achievement is naturally praised by the media.
After the game, the media articles praising Gao Bo were overwhelming. Now Gao Bo is regarded by the English media as one of the most promising young coaches in Europe.
Gao Bo did not make public appearances in the media at this time.
Because for Gao Bo, the most important game of this season is the Europa League final ten days later!
Lead the third-tier team to win the Europa League!
Such an incredible achievement will surely make Gao Bo one of the most remarkable head coaches on the planet, and no team can ignore the existence of such a head coach!
After winning the league title, the focus of all the team's work has naturally shifted to the Europa League.
This season Luton has only one title left to fight for. If Luton can win the Europa League, then they will become the most special champion team in the history of the Europa League - they are not from the top league. Team, they are not a giant, they are a small team from the third level!
In today's increasingly commercialized football, such a miracle is almost a fantasy, and many people are still amazed by Luton's achievements. If it is not a reality, it will appear in front of people alive. It's like listening to a fairy tale.
Diaosi counterattacks, grassroots rises, and stories of small people defeating giants can always be loved by people.
In reality, how many such stories can there be?
And Luton are not just grassroots - their Europa League title is basically the same as a little ant overturning an elephant!
Win the Europa League! They say they will make the history of the team,
And it will always write a brilliant stroke in the history of the Europa League and even European football!
The future sounds fascinating, but their only question is whether they can beat Atletico Madrid in the final!
........
This season's Europa League final will be held on May 13. The final venue is the home of Luton's semi-final rivals Hamburg - the Inta Arena. Of course, this stadium is on the UEFA side. The name is Hamburg Arena.
Before that, there are still two rounds of the English Premier League!
Gao Bo intends to give up all of these two rounds of the league. He mainly regards these two games as a warm-up match before the Europa League final to adjust the state of the players and feel the atmosphere of the game.
As for the outcome of the game, no one will care now.
Anyway, even if they lose all, Luton will be able to press the league title, and preparations for the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid will officially start from this.
Gao Bo modified the training plan, everything revolved around the characteristics of the opponent Atletico Madrid.
After a decade of decline, Atlético de Madrid is just showing signs of rising from the quagmire.
In the past two years, Atlético de Madrid has claimed to "return to the Spanish tradition"!
So the coach they hired was also a Spanish coach. Under the leadership of the new coach Flores, they strengthened their control in midfield and paid attention to the application of width on both sides!
Reyes and Simao on both sides of the midfield have good breakthrough ability.
On the forward line, Diego Forlan and Aguero's luxurious combination is enough to make all European teams envy!
Aguero, Forlan, Simão, Reyes, Ujfalusi, Antonio Lopez, De Gea, Perea, Raul Garcia, Asuncao, Jurado...
This is the group of stars that Atletico Madrid reunited three years after Torres left!
At least in Gao Bo's view, this group of people is really star-studded, and it is a pity that such a group of people can only get the eighth place in La Liga......
In order for the players to get acquainted with their opponents as soon as possible, every player these days is watching the videotape of the opponent's game after training.
The coaching staff made clips of Atlético de Madrid's games in the Europa League and league games for the players to watch repeatedly!
Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent allows the players to form a complete picture of Atletico Madrid in their minds.
As for the opponents in the league, it doesn't matter so much.
........
In the forty-fifth round, the team played away to Wycombe Wanderers.
Before the game, the coach of Wycombe Wanderers highly praised Gao Bo and his team's achievements. They are also newly-promoted horses. This season, Wycombe Wanderers can only be relegated in the First Division. One point ahead of the relegation zone, and there is a danger of relegation at any time.
Therefore, Wycombe Rovers' praise for Luton can also be regarded as a pre-match gesture, so that Luton will show mercy to them.
In fact, Gao Bo didn't care too much about the outcome of the game.
The starter is a complete substitute, and there are some players transferred from the youth team.
Because the main players played the game against Leeds United three days ago, Gao Bo naturally would not let the players play such a high-intensity game rhythm for three days.
The Wycombe Wanderers who want to avoid relegation are united and united.
In the end, they defeated Luton 2-1 at home and got the key three points on the way to relegation.
After the game, some relegation teams thought that Luton was suspected of playing a tacit match, but such voices were quickly suppressed.
Luton has already won the championship ahead of schedule, and they are going to play the Europa League final in a few days. How can they be the main force in such a game?
It's only Wycombe's luck that the Wanderers are to blame.
And three days after the game, Luton continued the away game.
In the forty-sixth round of the league, all matches of the first division kick off at the same time.
Now that the suspense of winning the championship is gone, the remaining suspense in the First Division is the battle for the second and third place, and then the race of life and death between the teams in the relegation zone.
There is nothing to watch in Luton’s away game against Southampton. Luton has won the championship, and Southampton is also safe from relegation. It is currently ranked fifth, four points ahead of sixth place and six points behind second place. Going to play the promotion play-offs. Both parties are hopeless.
The two teams ended up in a 2-2 draw.
Southampton did not lose at home, and Luton also avoided the embarrassment of their two-game losing streak in the league.
Luton finished the season with one draw and one loss in the last two league rounds.
But no one would blame Gao Bo and his team for that.
Having won the league title, what's wrong with giving up the league in preparation for the Europa League final?
If someone jumped out to criticize at this time, I am afraid they can only be regarded as idiots... ()
