Chapter 69 Waves Injury

Getting Manchester City opponents makes Gao Bo think more.

Manchester City this season has been very unstable. Now Manchester City are not the Premier League champions a few years later. They bought some stars, but the team is very messy and cannot form a whole. This is what they sat. The reason why some first-class stars fight so hard in the Premier League!

In fact, it's like Manchester City, a small team suddenly got an investment from a big sultan, and then the introduction of strong support, the results are often not as expected. A team definitely cannot be a strong team by stacking stars. It is not enough to have a group of stars. They also need to integrate these stars to form an overall combined force to bring out the abilities of these stars.

If they beat Manchester City in the fifth round, Luton will reach the quarter-finals. If the quarter-finals are lucky enough to draw a slightly less strong team, after entering the semifinals, there are two games left to win the championship ... Maybe it's really worth fighting for!

The FA Cup champion? And still leading a second division team to a win, it is expected that this will be the biggest black horse counterattack in FA Cup history, right?

Gao Bo was looking forward to this challenging achievement!

Gao Bo opens the calendar and checks the team's schedule.

The fifth round of the FA Cup will be held on February 14, and there are still more than 20 days from now, but Luton has not had much of a task so far, there are only three rounds in January. The league, as well as the English championship and league in early February.

Playing five games in more than 20 days, one of them is a small insignificant trophy. This schedule gave Gao Bo plenty of room to maneuver. He can't even rotate in the league. Let the first team do their best to handle Manchester City, without worrying about any physical problems.

…….

After Gao Bo made his decision, the job of the coaching staff began to revolve around the task of beating Manchester City.

Lin Sen sent by Gao Bo. Despite a lot of news about Manchester City in the media, Gao Bo still needs more accurate things and details. Lin Sen is responsible for taking a close look at Manchester City's game and their training conditions. A Manchester City player who will most likely play in the FA Cup made a scoring report.

It's a boring job.

But his plan could not keep up with the changes.

On January 24, Luton played Bradford at home.

Bradford now have the same scoreline as Luton, but due to the goal difference, they rank behind Luton in the league.

At the start of the away game, Bradford put on a defensive posture. Faced with this situation, Luton was actually already used to it. Most second-division teams now face Luton in this way. Weak strategy, they defend in the penalty area, and then put one or two quick attackers in front, steal one if they have a chance, and fight for a draw if there is no chance.

The first half of the match went well, at the end of the first half, Luton finally hit the shell of the opposing turtle.

Utilizing a corner, Luton drove the ball into the penalty area.

Centre-back Jeffrey leaps high and presses the opposition centre-back with a header to aim the ball at goal. Goalkeeper Bradford made a superb save. He grabbed the ball and blocked the ball, but Austin's clever movement in the penalty area gave him the chance to make an extra shot.When Charlie interrupted his next kick and kicked the ball towards the goal, the goalkeeper had no choice.

In this game, Gao Bo used cards that increased his header by 7% on Jeffrey, which made the centre-back, who was already good at heading and bouncing well, improve his head skills.

And now eighteen-year-old Jeffrey is becoming much more mature after being honed in the league during this period. Its comprehensive capabilities in all aspects have improved greatly compared to six months ago.

Gao Bo applauded, praised the outstanding performance of his student, and said to assistant coach John next to him.

The fans at the Kenilworth Stadium cheered.Such a goal has become commonplace at the Stadium this season. Charlie Austin was the team's No. 2 goalscorer, and the entire stadium shouted the name of the goal hero.

Before long the fans felt something was wrong, as the hero's goalscorer Charlie Austin was still lying on the ground and did not wake up to celebrate. Instead, he covered his ankles with his hands ...

Sakuragi Haruko quickly ran onto the field with her two assistants.

After a simple examination, Haruko shook her head off the field and gestured for a change of players.

Charlie Austin can't stay, he's injured and he's going to be replaced.

Gao Bo muttered silently Fortunately, right now the first half of the game is almost over. Gao Bo only challenged the team with ten players and passed the last few dozen seconds of the first half.

"Charlie's ankle is swollen, we'll be back to take scans now, hopefully the ligament is not injured ..."

Haruko approached Gao Bo and said in a soft voice. Judging from his expression, Charlie's injuries weren't easy ...

In the second half of the game, the opposition's range did not threaten Luton's defence, substitute midfielder Matt Schmidt scoring a header and locking the score into two zeros.

Because Exeter, sixth in the league, lost this round. After the win, Luton scored forty-three points and squeezed into seventh in the league.

But Gao Bo, who had injured a general, was unhappy with the result.

After the match, a report of Charlie's injury was also sent. Fortunately, no ligaments were injured. Charlie missed the team game for two weeks. Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. What a serious wound. In his impression, Charlie Austin in his previous life ended up being restricted by his often injured ankle and failed to make any further progress in his career ...

Charlie's injury appears to have opened Pandora's injury box.

On 28 January, Luton challenged Bournemouth away. Although Luton beat his opponent with two headers from high centre-forward Matt Schmidt, in the 83rd minute of the game, the ball After the Drinkwater team midfielder collided with his opponent, he fell to the ground and suffered a slight concussion on his head. At the moment, Luton no longer gets a place for substitutions. In the final moments, Luton was forced to challenge with ten players. Fortunately, Luton's defense was sturdy enough to withstand the last-minute onslaught of opponents.

The last league game in January, on January 31, Luton played against Burleigh on home soil.

Luton secured victory in the first half of the game. After two games of "goal deprivation" striker Vardy scored twice in the first half, and Matt Schmidt, who started because Charlie was injured. It also helped the team score, and both attackers were in excellent shape.

But early in the second half, team captain Kevin Keane suddenly sat on the ground without a confrontation while holding his thigh muscles.

A thirty-two year old veteran stretched his back leg muscles ...

This is the third player on Luton's injury list this time around.

In December, when the schedule was tightest, Luton did not get injured, in January which was not so many games, Luton suffered consecutive injuries to his main players, the main player, that made Gao Bo helpless as well.

However, injuries are something that every team has to deal with. Luton is no exception. When things came, they could only say that they were out of luck.
