Chapter 67 Advance to Round 5

Chapter 67 Advance to the fifth round

Just as Gao Bo was dealing with Adam's colleague, the second half of the league game gradually began.

Round 25 in Luton was postponed due to the need to make way for the English Championship for some teams in the league, while round 26 was brought forward to January 17.

In the seventeenth round of the league, Luton is on the road to challenge Darlington.

In fact, the game did not have too many waves. Before the first half of the game was over, Luton took a 2-0 lead with a goal from Vardy’s penalty area and a long-range shot from Drinkwater. opponent.

Leading by two goals in the first half, this is already a win for Luton in advance, and there is no team in the Second Division that can turn over with Luton leading by two goals!

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Charlie Austin received a flank cross from his teammates, stopped the ball in the chest and chose a barb shot, scoring a world wave and helping Luton seal the victory.

The score at the end of the game was 3-0. Luton defeated Daning Port away. After winning this game, Luton's points came to 40!

The Luton fans who came to the away game were quite excited, because 40 points have brought them to the eighth place!

At this time, the seventh-placed team Brentford has 41 points, and Luton is only one point away from the seventh-placed team qualified for the promotion play-offs!

That gap is a no-brainer for Luton, who has been in such crazy form this season.

The players were also quite happy after winning the game. After the whistle at the end of the game, the players on the bench, including Adam, who was in the news center recently, also rushed into the field. Although it was an away game, the players It is still very presumptuous to celebrate.

Gao Bo was also very happy, but he didn't celebrate too much. After the game, he simply clenched his fists, and then he walked to the opponent's head coach. After shaking hands with the opponent, Gao Bo turned and walked into the player tunnel.

However, Gao Bo's good mood was only reserved for the press conference after the game.

"Coach Gao Bo, Mark Hughes said in an interview that Adam White is a genius in England, and he thinks it is irresponsible to keep Adam White in the second league!"

"Coach Gobble, what do you think Adam White's worth is appropriate?"

"Have Manchester City made an offer?"

"How likely is Adam to stay in the team before the winter window closes?"

A bunch of questions were thrown, but they were all about City and Adam rumours.

Gao Bo looked unhappy, he grabbed the microphone.

"This is our post-match press conference with Darlington, not the Manchester City press room, you should save those questions for Mark Hughes."

"We got our 40th league point in this game and we're just one point away from finishing in the top seven, which is a great deal for a team that has been deducted 30 points before the season started. A very great achievement and if we hadn't been deducted 30 points, Luton would now be the league champions almost 20 points ahead of second!! That's what you should be concerned about."

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he dropped the microphone and left.

Roy Sol, who was in the back row of the press room, felt very cool for some reason. As a Luton fan, she is also very unhappy about the problems of these reporters in the front row. Although she did not deal with Gao Bo, she is now on the same front as Gao Bo.

Although Gao Bo did not answer anything about the transfer rumors, it was not difficult for the media.

The news about Luton the next day was still about Adam and Manchester City. What the media said was very real, and even fabricated the details of the negotiations between the two sides. . . .

Except for Adam,

In fact, there are also transfer rumors for several of Luton's core players. Now is the winter window, and the news about the transfer is the most eye-catching for readers.

In order to avoid the impact of the turbulent transfer rumors on the team, Gao Bo isolated the team from the media. He prohibited the team's players from privately accepting interviews with the media.

Outside the training base in Luton, there are many more media reporters.

As the results of the Luton team continue to rise, they have attracted more and more media attention.

However, in Luton's training base, the team's training has not been disturbed.

The training of the players is still on schedule. The team's next game is away to Preston.

Preston are in the middle of the Championship and their strength is far behind Chelsea. However, Gao Bo did not dare to be careless, after all, the opponent was a team two levels higher than Luton.

"The opponent is a team in the British Championship, and we are only a team in the second league! In terms of level, the opponent is two grades higher than us!" On the training ground, Gao Bo was wearing a training uniform and a peaked cap. And his players surround him.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!!" Gao Bo pointed at his forehead, "I know many of you are still complacent about winning the Chelsea game, if we go away with this idea, I'm sure we Lost!"

Gao Bo emphasized on the training ground.

Sure enough, at the Deep Valley Stadium, Luton encountered considerable difficulties at the beginning of the game.

Preston attacked as soon as they came up, and at one point Luton almost lost the goal - had it not been for Preston striker Brown's shot that hit the crossbar, Luton would have conceded the ball at the start of the game.

Fortunately, after a few minutes of confusion, Luton's formation quickly stabilized, and Preston's offensive was gradually pushed out of the danger zone by Luton.

In the first half of the game, the two sides were caught in a fight in the midfield. Luton got a few counterattack opportunities directly behind him, but unfortunately failed to form a shot in the end.

The two sides played 0-0 in the first half!

The game format in the second half was also anxious for a while. After Preston attacked for a while in the first half, they gradually found that the consequence of their pressing too high was Luton counterattack. Therefore, in the second half, Preston did not. Pressing hard, they intend to fight Luton for patience in midfield.

Gao Bo was also prepared for such a situation. At the 65th minute of the game, the game on the court was still anxious. At this time, he called Adam to the side.

There were not many Luton fans in the away stand and they didn't look too excited because of the tightness of the game. But as soon as Adam stood on the sidelines, the Luton fans immediately lit up, standing up and chanting Adam's name.

Thanks to the media, Adam is now Luton's most famous player, even though he is only a substitute.

"Have you seen their right back?" Gao Bo pointed to a player in Preston, "He is already 34 years old. After going up, look for his side to make a breakthrough, have a wider vision, and don't pass the ball. Too anxious, pay attention to the positions of our forwards and midfielders! After breaking through, pass the ball carefully, and don’t hesitate when you have a chance to shoot!!”

Adam nodded frequently, and Gao Bo patted him on the shoulder.

Luton made a substitution, Adam came on and replaced the left midfielder Lewis Emanuel.

It was Luton who took the lead in strengthening the offensive adjustment. It is difficult to imagine that this is a matchup between a League B team and a team in the Championship.

After the substitution, Luton's attack really added a lot of vitality.

Preston right-back Hart was broken by Adam, and the 34-year-old couldn't get up to the rhythm of the younger Adam.

After breaking through from the outside, Adam pressed the ball into the penalty area.

Both Vardy and Charlie Austin were pressing forward in the penalty area, bringing Preston's back line to a small scenic spot, while a large gap appeared in the arc of the penalty area.

Adam throws the ball into the area with an inverted triangle.

It was Kante who shot in this area! He threw a shot from the arch of his right foot when he was unguarded, and the football refracted into the goal after hitting the foot of the defender!

Luton's substitution is immediate!

After taking the lead, Luton was more calm in the next game.

In the 81st minute of the game, Kante took the ball to the left after stealing in the backcourt. Adam passed by and made a cross to the back. Vardy pressed the opponent's defender with a header and scored the goal, helping the team to seal the victory. .

Preston launched the final onslaught late in the game, but Luton's defence was rock-solid and they resisted the opposition's formula for the final ten minutes.

In the end, Luton defeated Preston with a score of 2-0 and came close to the fifth round of the FA Cup!
