Chapter 87, Against Coventry

As the players on either side of the players aisle, the home fans cheered in delight.

Ricoh Stadium is much larger than Wolverine Stadium. But now Luton Kenilworth Stadium is located in the city center, surrounded by residential areas, and there is no room for expansion. Moreover, with the capital of the team's unfortunate boss now, he couldn't get any money to buy people. Can you still count on him to build a new stadium?

John is a little nervous, it's already the FA Cup quarter-final, and a step ahead is the semi-final ...

Reaching the FA Cup semi-final, this is something that a small team like Luton cannot even think of before.

“Can we really enter the semifinals?” John stood beside Gao Bo, praising the players on both sides with Gao Bo.

“Not necessarily!” Gao Bo did not look back.

Not necessarily? ! !

John is a bit anxious, who swore he would win the FA Cup a few days ago?

John just wanted to say something, Gao Bo turned around, and he saw his assistant look a little worried.

"John, nothing is 100% certain in this world. Anything can be done with one or two percent certainty!"

“You mean, we can beat Coventry with one or two percent certainty ?!” John is also a bit less confident, probably because he has beaten high-level league teams one after another this season. John always felt that his team would be facing off in certain scenes. This feeling always makes John restless with losing a team in the league.

But Gao Bo was clearly not too troubled.

“I mean we can win the championship with one or two percent certainty!!” Gao Bo smiled, his face full of confidence.

John's face was wrong, and he wasn't too sure about one to two percent, but seeing the smile on Gao Bo's face, people didn't know thought Luton could win the championship 100%.

“John, do you know what is the most important thing on the football field for me?” Gao Bo looked at the players who were already standing in his position. In this match, he kept sending in his previous single-strike lineup, Vardy was on the line, but Charlie, who had recently been in top form, was placed on the bench by Gao Bo.

John shakes. Who could guess what the talented coach before him was thinking?

"That's hope!" Gao Bo said seriously, "When I set my goals, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for success, I will do it 100%!"

“We only have a glimmer of hope to win the FA Cup ?!” John was surprised again, didn't he have 10% or 20%.

"You can really understand the point ..." Gao Bo spread his hand helplessly, "This is just a metaphor. We have to win the FA Cup this season, John! We have reason to do it."

Gao Bo turned around.

"If we win the FA Cup, the sales funds next season will be transferred to the signing fund!"

"Do you know what this means?"

John nodded. Of course he understood what that meant. Only Charlie Austin, now the team has offered a price of four million pounds, four million pounds for a second division like Luton. For the team, this is a pretty big number! And under Gao Bo's "pack", Charlie's wealth has enough room to ride.

John Aston discovered for the first time that the head coach of the team had such ambitions ...

......

“The players from both sides have stepped onto the pitch!” Letterkinson holds the microphone in the comments.

Four FA Cup quarter-final matches were split into two days. The first kick-off was the Luton vs Coventry game, which was played at Coventry and the Liverpool vs Fulham game which was played at Fulham.

Both games are planned to be live-streamed by Sky sports, but as its chief commentator, Letterkinson was specifically asked to explain the game, a confrontation between the two non-English Premier League teams.

Letkinson really wants to see how far Luton can go in the FA Cup ...

"The host team sent out their strongest ranks! Coleman's side have been unstable in the league this season, but they have been lucky in the FA cup. After eliminating Blackburn, they also reached the quarter-finals. The goalkeeper who started for Coventry was Westwood. At the back there are White, Dann, Turner and Hall, while the midfielders are Henderson, Ganalson, Doyle, Eastwood, the attackers are the duo of Best and Morrison! "Letkinson broadcast the starting lineup to both sides.

But Gao Bo set his sights on Henderson.

If Gao Bo remembers correctly, he is the midfielder who will replace future Liverpool captain Gerrard, the new Red Captain. Henderson is a Sunderland youth training product. In the winter window, 19-year-old Henderson was loaned out by Sunderland to Coventry for training.

Henderson did not know that he was being followed by Gao Bo. In fact, Gao Bo is not interested in Henderson, because Henderson is also a youth academy of the Premier League. In addition to the loan, Luton may have trouble getting Henderson to accept a transfer.

......

It had been ten minutes since the match started, Gao Bo frowned at the sidelines. He looked at Coleman on the other side. This fellow could really temper the arrogance of a Championship team and actually play a steady counterattack against Luton, a second division team? !

The current strategy of Coventry is really defensive and counterattacking. They did not play in midfield with all three antennas, but shrank in their own half, waiting for Luton to attack.

"Coventry now .. counterattacks survive ?!" Letterkinson was also a little surprised. "They really played a defensive counterattack. Coleman put on a defensive posture and waited for Luton to attack."

Gao Bo was also a little helpless. He did not expect his opponents would do this before the match. After all, Coventry are also a team in the English Championship. They were two levels higher than Luton. Coleman just like that. Can put a rack to shrink the defense.

This man can bend and stretch his body.

But the problem is that Gao Bo's lone attacking formation is actually paying attention to defensive counterattacks. Anyway, this is an away game. In Gao Bo, if you want to come, Coventry have to make the difference at home.

So the current scene is very boring, if two teams both want to do defensive counterattacks, the game will be like this.

Luton now controls the ball. He was in the backcourt. Luton did not know whether to press or not, because Gao Bo previously insisted that this game must be based on defense and absolutely must not lose the ball.

Gao Bo looked at the players a little impatiently, he pressed his hands down to signal the players to calm down.

Gao Bo was not in a hurry, even though the match was zero to zero, it was no big deal.

This is when the head coaches of both sides compete patiently, anyone who can't help it first will fall into a passive first.

Both coaches are not willing to easily overturn the deployment ahead of the game.
