Chapter 32 Downgraded Popularity and Upgraded Popularity

If after two consecutive victories, some local media in Luton questioned that this was just a flash in the pan, then the next victory made everyone start to sing praises to Luton.

On August 16, in the second round of the league, Luton played away to Gillingham.

This was the first time that Gao Bo took the team to an away league. Before starting, Gao Bo was very cautious, and his requirements for intelligence were precise to almost every part.

Road traffic, weather, etc.

John Aston has never seen a manager who is so critical of the details. When John was playing, the football coach's preparation for the game was: "Go up and play, lads, kick the opposite ass, and then at night Go back to the bar and treat me!!!"

Then a group of lads rushed forward.

Very unprofessional, but very much in line with the English character.

Alcohol is the best partner in English football for a long time. In fact, it was not until the 1990s that the English top league teams began to try to keep players from drinking as much as possible. During training and games, all the players of the team are prohibited from drinking. In order to lead by example, Gao Bo also suppressed his alcohol addiction. Only when he is on vacation will he get over his addiction.

In addition, in almost every game, Gao Bo asked the coaching team to collect information on the opponent as much as possible, understand the characteristics of the opponent, and then make some adjustments in the details according to these characteristics.

For example, marking the opponent's key players and attacking the weak points of defense.

No matter the details, through such explanation and analysis, combined with training, the changes brought to the team are subversive - at least before each game, the team is always full of confidence.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

This is the way Gao Bo believes in winning.

It’s a pity that these analyses are not the work of the head coach himself, but now in the coaching team, John Aston is a good player in directing player training, and he also plays a great role in assisting the management of the team. After all He has been with the team for so many years, and coordination has always been John's main job.

And physical coach Mel, etc., they are all special positions, and they are not suitable for data analysis.

Therefore, Gao Bo can only pick one shoulder. Although in terms of strength, Gao Bo believes that in the second division, Luton's strength is still quite strong. But even Premier League teams are sometimes overthrown by lower league teams, not to mention Luton?

And Luton can't afford to lose. They were also deducted 30 points. If they want to upgrade, they can only ensure that they don't lose as much as possible.

Therefore, Gao Bo will not relax in any league. He does not allow himself to make mistakes of underestimating the enemy. The situation this season has made Luton's fault tolerance rate very low.

Gillingham was the team that was relegated from League One to League Two last season, and it can be said that Luton is in trouble.

However, Gillingham's lineup has not entered too much turmoil, they still retain the lineup of the First Division, so many commentators believe that Gillingham will be one of the favorites for promotion this season.

However, promotion favorite Gillingham met relegation favorite Luton, and the game was not as people expected.

Before the game, many thought Gillingham would have the upper hand. Although Luton defeated Port Vale by a big score in the last round of the league, on the one hand, Port Vale itself is not a strong team, and it is not surprising that Luton is in the home court and the players are in good condition to score a big score. But Gillingham is determined to return to the first division team, and this time Luton are playing away.

But Luton's performance once again surprised everyone.

Gillingham, who played at home, was almost helpless. Luton's high pressure made Gillingham completely unable to adapt.

They wanted to attack only to find that the forward passing lanes were blocked and when they tried long balls, the heading ability of Luton's young centre-back Jeffrey almost gave Gillingham the It's hard to take advantage of high-altitude balls.

Offensive so, in defense, Gillingham's defense was repeatedly penetrated by Luton.

Twelve minutes into the game, Luton scored. It was the starting striker Charlie Austin who scored the goal with a keen shot in the penalty area, sending the ball into Gillingham's goal.

Not long after this goal, Charlie Austin scored again. In the 18th minute of the game, Kevin Keane made a cross from the side. Charlie Austin shook his head and attacked the goal. After the football bounced to the ground Into a dead end!

The first half was Charlie Austin's performance moment, and by the second half, Vardy started to blow his mind.

In the 68th minute of the game, Vardy successfully turned offside with a single-handed shot at the far post, rewriting the score to 3-0. This score did not last long. In the 73rd minute of the game, just five minutes away from the previous goal, Vardy got the same chance again and rewritten the score to 4-0.

This is also the score after the end of the game.

Four to zero! !

Luton wins away to upgrade the popular team Gillingham!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the coach's bench. He was very calm in this game because he made all the preparations before the game, and there were no surprises in the process of the game.

It was a perfect game, not just in the score, but in the process.

Almost every step of the game is carried out according to the team's pre-match plan.

In ten minutes, he attacked and scored two goals.

About 70 minutes into the second half, there was another strong attack, and two goals were scored.

The opponent's tactics, the opponent's substitution adjustment, and the opponent's attack method after substitution. Gao Bo had said this over and over again on the tactical board before the game.

It was a very smooth game, so smooth that it was almost as if the game script was written by Gao Bo.

"Kevin, come with me to the press conference!"

Gao ** opened the locker room and said to Kevin.

The locker room was a mess and the players were celebrating. But when Gao Bo came in, the volume of the locker room immediately decreased, and the players looked at Gao Bo with awe. In these few games, Gao Bo was almost like a magician, remotely controlling from the coaching bench. progress of the game.

Players have even begun to secretly make Gao Bo a wizard - if not, how could it be so clear about a game that hasn't happened yet?

Players are now in awe and awe of Gao Bo. Although Gao Bo is only 27 years old and not much older than most players, the difference between the coach and the players still separates the players from Gao Bo.

Gao Bo actually has no intention of getting along with the players. He is the head coach of the team, not the brothers of the players. As a head coach, what you need is the majesty of a father, not the loyalty of working for your brother.

"Yes, boss!"

Kevin Keene is a few years older than Gao Bo, but he also calls Gao Bo "chief" now.
