Football Card System
EP.42

After reaching the third round of the FA Cup, Gao Bo was slightly twisted.

On the one hand, Gao Bo wants to go further in the FA Cup. The FA Cup is very interesting. In a match, the winner will advance, the loser will be eliminated, and the match will be repeated again. This is unusual. A two-round home and away knockout system, one game determines the winner, this system increases the possibility of unpopularity. In fact, the FA Cup is a hotbed of unpopularity. This football has the longest history. In the Cup, any strong team can be turned upside down, and any weak team can do wonders.

In the 1988 FA Cup final, when Liverpool were in full swing, he met Wimbledon, who was not strong at the time, but Liverpool's penalty was saved by the opposing goalkeeper and watched Wimbledon lift the trophy.

In the 2003-04 FA Cup season, Shrewsbury, who were in the fourth tier, broke the FA Cup's biggest defeat with Everton 2-1.

In the third round of the 1990-91 FA Cup, Woking, then in the fifth division, toppled West Brom in the top league with a score of 4-2, causing a huge disappointment.

There are many similar stories that are not popular, and people also talk a long way about the story of the small team that overthrew the giants.

But as head coach, Gao Bo rarely appreciates such stories. The reason why an underdog team becomes an underdog team is because even in the FA Cup, known as the "hive of the underdogs", it's not", most of the teams that advance are the stronger teams, and the teams that can eventually reach the final, also Most of them are the teams in the top league. The game can be disappointing, but if you want to be a dark horse, you need the support of strength.

However, on the other hand, Luton's financial situation is not optimistic. Gao Bo also thought that maybe he would draw with the top four teams of the Premier League in the third round and play at home. It was enough for Lu to be at the fourth level. It has been two or three months that spending owner David Morton has been worrying about the team's recent financial situation.

If you want to go further, it's better to draw a weaker team in the third half, preferably on your own home field, and if you draw Manchester United, Liverpool, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League giants, especially in their home court case, Gao Bo does not think that with Luton's current lineup, he is confident of beating this giant on the road.

However, the opponent that Luton will face in the third round is not controlled by Gao Bo. The final decision on the fate of each team in the third round of the FA Cup still needs to be decided by a draw. The lottery ceremony is held on the afternoon of Friday the 4th of December, TV and radio will broadcast the lottery ceremony live.

And before the drawing ceremony, Luton had another game to play. It was the fourteenth round of the league, Luton against Bournemouth at home.

Bournemouth's points are currently the same as Luton's at 17 points. Whereas, in the second division standings, there were five teams including Luton who scored 17 points, but Luton relied on absolute advantage of goal difference flooding the other five teams in 15th place, the team said, bournemouth are ranked 19th. Among the five teams with the same points, Bournemouth have the least goal difference. It is also related to the Bournemouth situation this season. This season, Bournemouth are doing well in defence. They have conceded only thirteen goals.The number of goals conceded could be the fifth lowest in the league, but so too is their goal tally also very impressive. Bournemouth's total of just 12 goals this season, is the team with the fewest goals in the league, and Luton's two main attackers, Vardy has scored 21 goals in the 18th round of the league. Vardy is also the top scorer in the second division. The goal scorer is top of the rankings. Both teams' goalscorer Charlie Austin has also scored 13 goals. In other words, the number of goals scored by the Bournemouth team can only be Luton's third goalscorer. .......

Bournemouth played quite persistently away. Their defense did make a lot of trouble for Luton. Until the end of the first half, the score was still zero to zero.

In the second half, however, Gao Bo deployed an army and Adam White came on to the pitch, he replaced Lewis Emanuel, and Luton's formation changed as well.

While facing the opponent's dense defensive formation continuously, Gao Bo knew he was going to make changes. Earlier, Gao Bo referred to Leicester City's tactics during the championship season, but he soon found that those tactics should be in line with the league's current environment.

For Leicester City back then, they played in the Premier League, even if they were top of the table in the end, the Premier League side would not consider Leicester City to be a super strong side. So they sent in an iron barrel to face them, so Leicester City's 442nd counter-attack tactics will be tried repeatedly in the Premier League - because they don't have to worry about the problem of the opponent's attacking failure.

But for Luton, the eleventh consecutive win at the start of the season was really dazzling.Data they have completely destroyed the other second division team, so Luton is now a big crocodile in the second division pool. , Most teams like to wear iron buckets when facing Luton.

Therefore, Gao Bo had to make changes to this situation, this was also part of the head coach's duties.

After Adam Walt came onto the pitch, he did not play left-back Lewis Emanuel. His position is even higher. He played on the left wing, while Charlie Austin moved to the left. Right movement, as a right-hand attacker, the middle is naturally Vardy.

In midfield, Kanter in the middle, Drinkwater on the left, and Kevin Keane on the right. The back line remains unchanged.

Gao Bo changed the formation to 433, which is also an offensive formation that has been the focus of the team.433 is not an offensive formation, but in many cases, 433 is often seen as an offensive formation.

Luton has stressed a different tactical style from the mainstream long passes in the second division since Gao Bo entered the game. Even if it is a cross, the team must go through the offensive organization and pass the ball after equalizing the distance. Gao Bo knew that in the future, whether it was the flow of control, the flow of impulses, or the flow of counterattacks, it was the flow of impulses, the teams that can really make a difference in a top-flight stadium like the Champions League will not be long passes that fly the flag. .

After the change of formation, Luton's offensive style changed again, Luton began attacking the left side, Adam Walt's side.

In the 73rd minute of the game ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Adam Walt took the ball from the side and Bournemouth immediately posted two defenders. Adam's previous breakthrough made Bournemouth players aware of this. The black kid is amazing.

Adam had no trouble this time. The biggest change in over two months of youth training was that he had a teammate in his eyes. This was the most important thought change for him to set foot in the professional arena.He passed the ball to Drinkwater, and then he started running.

Drinkwater took the ball. At the moment the Bournemouth formation is basically on the right, which is the direction of the Luton offense. Threatened several times.

Time transferring!

Forcefully attack to the left, only to pull the opponent's formation to the left.

Drinkwater did a long bait with his right leg. Charlie Austin received the ball on the right side unguarded. After stopping the ball, he stepped into the penalty box. Before the Bournemouth defence could react, Charlie Austin swept the ball into the penalty area with a low draw!

Valdi picked up a point in the penalty area and put the ball in the net!

Gao Bo waved his hand excitedly on the sidelines. The attack just now had completely crippled what they were practicing.

Focus on attacking one way, wait until the other way is empty, then transfer to it, and then grab the opponent's moving defensive line, gap, and make a goal!

This offensive routine looks simple, but it is not easy to do it! Judging from the offense just now, Luton's set dismissal is still effective when facing the opponent's barrel formation, at least much more effective than trying a long shot and taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area.

Gao Bo quickly calmed down. This is Luton B's tactical plan. When an attack is needed, the team can conduct such an experiment.
