　　 Chapter 42 Luton’s Plan B

After 　　 reached the third round of the FA Cup, Gao Bo was a bit tangled.

On the one hand, Gao Bo wants to be able to go further in the FA Cup. The FA Cup system is very interesting. In a game, the winner will advance, the loser will be eliminated, and the tie will be rematched. It is not ordinary. The home and away two-round knockout system, one game decides the winner, this system increases the possibility of unpopularity a lot. In fact, the FA Cup is a hotbed of unpopularity. This football has the longest history. In the Cup, any strong team may capsize, and any weak team may perform miracles.

　　 In the 1988 FA Cup final, when Liverpool was in full swing, it encountered Wimbledon, who was not strong at the time, but Liverpool’s penalty was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper and watched Wimbledon lift the championship trophy.

　　 In the FA Cup of the 2003-04 season, Shrewsbury, who was in the fourth tier, broke the biggest upset of the FA Cup with Everton 2-1.

　　 In the third round of the FA Cup in 1990-91, Woking, who was in the fifth division at the time, knocked out West Brom in the top league by a score of 4-2, causing a big upset.

　　 There are many similar unpopular stories, and people go far to talk about the story of the small team overturning the giant.

　　 But as the head coach, Gao Bo rarely appreciates such stories. The reason why the underdogs become underdogs is because even in the FA Cup, which is known as the "hotbed of underdogs," most of the teams that advance are those stronger teams, and the teams that can eventually reach the finals, also Most of them are teams in the top leagues. A game can be upset, but if you want to be a dark horse, you need the support of strength after all.

However, on the other hand, Luton’s financial situation is not optimistic. Gao Bo also thinks that maybe he will draw a top four Premier League team in the third round and play a game on their home court. It is enough for Lu to be in the fourth level. It's been two or three months of expenses-owner David Morton has been worrying about the financial situation of the team recently.

If you want to go further, it is better to draw a weaker team in the third round, preferably your own home court, and if you draw Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League giants, especially in the In the case of their home court, Gao Bo doesn't think that with the current Luton lineup, he can say that he is confident of defeating these giants in the away game.

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

　　 And before the draw ceremony, Luton has another game to play. It was the fourteenth round of the league, Luton played Bournemouth at home.

Bournemouth’s current points are the same as Luton’s, with 17 points. In fact, in the second division standings, there are five teams including Luton who scored 17 points, but Luton relies on The absolute advantage of the goal difference overwhelming the other five teams ranked 15th, while Bournemouth ranked 19th. Among the five teams with the same points, Bournemouth’s goal difference is the least. This is also related to Bournemouth’s situation this season. This season, Bournemouth has done a good job defensively. They A total of only thirteen goals have been conceded. This number of goals conceded can be the fifth lowest in the league, but likewise, their number of goals is also very impressive. Bournemouth only scored a total of 12 goals this season. , Is the team with the fewest goals in the league, and Luton’s two main strikers, Vardy has scored 21 goals in the 18th round of the league. Vardy is also the top scorer in the second division. The scorer tops the list. The team’s second scorer, Charlie Austin, has also scored 13 goals. In other words, the total number of goals scored by Bournemouth’s team can only be the third scorer in Luton. .......

　　 Bournemouth played quite tenaciously on the road. Their defense did create a lot of difficulties for Luton. Until the end of the first half, the score was still zero to zero.

　　 But in the second half, Gao Bo mobilized troops and Adam White came on the field. He replaced Lewis Emanuel, and Luton's formation also changed.

　　 When encountering the opponent's dense defensive formation continuously, Gao Bo knew he was going to make a change. Previously, Gao Bo referred to Leicester City's tactics in the championship season, but he soon discovered that the tactics must be in line with the current league environment.

For Leicester City back then, they were playing in the Premier League. Even if they were at the top of the list at the end, the Premier League team would not regard Leicester City as a super-strong team. So they sent out the iron bucket to deal with them, so Leicester City's 442 counterattack tactics will be tried repeatedly in the Premier League-because they don't have to worry about the problem of the opponent not attacking.

But for Luton, the eleventh winning streak at the beginning of the season is really dazzling. Their data has completely crushed other second division teams, so Luton is now the big crocodile in the second division pool. , Most of the teams like to put on an iron bucket when facing Luton.

　　 Therefore, Gao Bo must make changes to this situation, which is also part of the job of the head coach.

　　 Gao Bo's plan B is to change the lineup. Bournemouth is now clarifying the rhythm of scoring one point, so Gao Bo has sent in a winger with breakthrough ability.

After Adam Walt came on the field, he did not play Lewis Emanuel’s left midfield position. His position was even higher. He played the left winger position, while Charlie Austin moved his position to the left. Moved on the right, as a right forward, the center is naturally Vardy.

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

　　 Gao Bo changed the formation to 433, which is also the offensive formation that the team has been focusing on recently. 433 is not exactly an offensive formation, but in most cases, 433 is often seen as an offensive formation.

Luton has been insisting on a different tactical style from the mainstream long pass in the second division since Gao Bo entered the game. Even if it is a cross, the team has to go through the offensive organization and pass the ball after matching the gap. in. Gao Bo knows that in the future, whether it is a control flow, an impulse flow, or a counterattack flow, those teams that can truly make a difference in a top-tier stadium like the Champions League will not be long passes holding high the flag. .

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

In the 73rd minute of the game ~www.ltnovel.com~ Adam Walt took the ball from the side and Bournemouth immediately posted two defenders. Adam's previous breakthroughs let Bournemouth players know this. Black kid is amazing.

　　 Adam didn't have a hard time this time. The biggest change in his more than two months of youth training is that he has teammates in his eyes. This is the most important thinking change for him to set foot on the professional arena.

　　 He passed the ball to Drinkwater, and then he started running.

Drinkwater takes the ball. At this time, Bournemouth’s formation is basically to the right, which is the direction of Luton’s offense. Luton’s offensive direction is tilted to the left, because Luton has been doing flying articles here for a long time and is also making Threatened several times.

　　 Time to transfer!

　　 forcibly attacked the left, just to pull the opponent's formation to the left.

Drinkwater made a long pass with his right foot. Charlie Austin received the ball on the right side unguarded. After he stopped the ball, he pushed a step towards the penalty area. Before Bournemouth's defense could react, Charlie Austin's low draw swept the ball into the penalty area!

　　 Vardy grabbed a point in the penalty area and smashed the ball into the goal!

　　 Gao Bo waved his arms with excitement on the sidelines. The attack just now completely knocked out what they were training.

　　 Focus on attacking one road, wait until the other road is vacant, then transfer to it, and then seize the opponent's moving defense line, gap, and create goals!

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

　　 Gao Bo calmed down quickly. This is the plan B of Luton's tactics. When an offense is needed, the team can make such an attempt.
