EP.28

This is Luton's second home game of the season.

Because of the first big win, the supporters are now confident with the team. Compared to the momentum of the first home game of the season, the momentum created by the Luton supporters in this match was much stronger.

Gao Bo was not scorned. Maybe because of the compensation mentality, when Gao Bo came out of the player channel, he received the biggest cheers - bigger than team captain Kevin Keane.

John Aston is delighted to see the atmosphere of Wolse Stadium. Not only were all the seats inside the stadium fully filled in this match, but outside the stadium, fans who could not buy tickets also gathered on both sides of the stadium. On the streets, the Luton City Government had to deploy police forces to maintain order.

Last season, Luton got a 10-point deduction due to financial problems, and the team's sluggish morale throughout the season, and as a result, they were relegated to the second division. They suffer losses and the main players leave. After waiting for a series of negative events, Luton supporters also lost the spirit of the previous period in the English Championship.

It seems that winning is really a good thing. Nothing can be solved with a single win. If there is, then two wins!

Gao Bo was still wearing a black suit, and his sturdy figure was clearly visible by his straight shirt. He smiled, and when he heard the cheers of the fans, he waved and greeted the fans. It seems he doesn't care about the jeers of the fans in the first round of the league.

The fans naturally responded with more enthusiastic cheers.

For Gao Bo, there is not much to tell about his current feelings towards the Luton team. After all, before becoming the head coach of this team, Gao Bo was the only one that was published in the newspaper. I have seen news about Luton that they have been reduced ...

Although Gao Bo is a big fan, he does not find himself as a home team like most people. He usually likes to watch all the games. He likes to study the psychology of players and head coaches from both sides in every game. Struggling.

Perhaps it was this experience that led him to finally choose a career as a football coach.

Confidence! The victory in the first game not only brought the confidence of the fans, but also the players.

Nottingham Forest does not have all the main lineup in this game. They are half of the main lineup, but on the bench, they still have their core players. Once the game was not profitable, they would immediately go to the battlefield.

It seems Nottingham Forest are unwilling to hand over the League Cup early. Although the cup was very bland for many teams, after all, it would be a pity to give up directly.

“It looks like this match won't be easy.” John Aston sat on the bench and said to Gao Bo. He also looked at Billy Davis, who was sitting on the visiting team's coaching bench. He is a very famous coach in the English low-level league. Although he has no experience in coaching top-level league teams, he deals with the English championship. Billy Davis has a lot of experience in games at League One level.

Unlike the English low-level league in general, Billy Davis' team placed more emphasis on ball control and smooth coordination. This can be considered an outlier among many English coaches who emphasize speed, confrontation, and ball altitude. .

He and Nottingham seemed like a perfect match in heaven. Nottingham Forest is one of the representatives of the English football technology stream, much earlier than Arsenal.

“But today's stadium atmosphere is very good, much better than the first round of the league!” John Aston.

"If we can keep winning, keep winning, we can keep hearing cheers like that, and it's bigger than that."

"It's not easy to win all the time, Gao ..." John shook his head.

"But our goal in every game is to win, right? It's not easy to win all the time, but how can we know if we don't try?"

Currently, the players lined up to enter the pitch Gao Bo stood up and applauded the players along with the fans.

.........

As everyone expected before the game, Nottingham Forest controlled the football and slowly flooded into the formation.

But at the moment, Nottingham Forest head coach Billy Davis frowned.

Although Nottingham Forest had a significant advantage in ball possession levels, the end result of the game was nothing more than the mastery level of others. If the football cannot be sent to the opponent's goal, even if the ball possession rate is 100%, it will only be at most. It was just a draw!

Nottingham Forest players felt that the game was very uncomfortable.

Wherever they take the ball on the front pitch, they feel that the opposing player is more than their own.

It's hard to see Luton's formation from the perspective of the players on the pitch, but Billy Davis on the sidelines can see it very clearly.

It's solid!

The Luton Formation is very dense.

And their coordination of left and right movements was extremely high, just like a player with a rope tied to Luton. As a result, in the area where football is located, Luton has more players than Nottingham Forest.

If only it could be transferred quickly.

Billy Davis instantly sees the weakness of this formation ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ But looking at it is one thing, and whether it can be done is one thing.

Because Luton is not just about the movement of formations, no player from Nottingham Forest could transfer the ball over a wide area under tight pressure, and they could protect the ball. It's a pretty good finish without losing the ball.

The match lasted for 20 minutes. Quiet scene. Nottingham Forest did well. At least so far they have done nothing wrong.

But Luton fans still sing and dance. However, in the eyes of the fans, Nottingham Forest and Luton are no longer one team in the English championship and another in the second class.

Gao Bo was in no hurry. He was very satisfied with the content of the game during this period. The team defense has worked well. Until now, Nottingham Forest had only gained a few passing spaces on the fringes and two wings. Shots .... Both teams add up to zero shots.

Gao Bo's tactics did not emphasize possession, so Nottingham Forest controlled most of the possession, Gao Bo was not surprised. For Gao Bo, to win, the first thing he needed was defense!

But if you continue to defend, the game cannot be won.

Gao Bo also knows this, he sees game time. It was the 23rd minute of the first half. From the start of the game to the present, although Nottingham Forest have controlled most of the ball, Gao Bo believes the rhythm of the game is in the possession of his team.

Since this was the situation that Luton wanted to see Facing the Luton formation, Nottingham Forest's ball possession was like itchy boots, and Luton had yet to truly exert his strength!

Now it's time to change the rhythm!
