Chapter 88 Don't Waste Opportunities
Ricoh Stadium was shrouded in drizzle, making the entire stadium look rather dull.
The Coventry supporters were still struggling before the game, but now they were a little dazed. The situation on the pitch is very difficult to say, and both teams seem a little passive.
Coventry did not attack, Luton also only had Vardy as a striker to pass half.
There was someone on the sidelines who looked very excited, Gao Bo dancing on the sidelines, let the team stabilize the defense ...
A few minutes ago, the team looked a little overwhelmed. Luton are a very young team. The emotions of the young players are not so easy to calm down. So a few minutes later, the Luton players were a bit eager to attack, but due to the high waves before the game was unexpected. By the time Coleman was about to mount a defensive counterattack at home, Luton's formation was not for a raucous one.
Coventry seemed to want to be patient in competing with them.
“Fight does not attack at all..” John is a little worried. After all Luton was not ready to attack his position in the placement before the game. This time the team also placed a 451 formation and stacked in midfield. With a group of defenders, Vardy is a striker on the front lines.
"Don't worry, John, it's an away game. Our pressure is not as great as the other side ..." Gao Bo looked back, his face still with a full expression on his chest.
This time, Lewis-Emanuel was encouraged to dribble until halftime. Gao Bo hurriedly stopped him after seeing him: "Don't worry, Lewis !!! Operate the ball !!!"
Coleman on the other hand clearly heard Gao Bo's words, and he was also a little helpless, it seemed like the game didn't go as he wanted.
In Coleman's view, Gao Bo's squad are still too young to speak, and his team's average age is only around 21, it's obviously a very young team, against a team like that, against a team like that, Coleman is naturally. The preconceived belief was that with such a young team, coupled with the fact that their head coach was so young, opponents naturally did not have much patience.
And after beating Chelsea and Manchester City in a row, Luton's team was a bit swollen. Faced with the current situation, they were bound to be the first party who could not bear the anger ....
But the young man in front of him was much more patient than he thought ...
The game had started for almost twenty minutes, and both sides had yet to make a single shot.
The negative attitude of both teams makes the fans who are in the location a little dissatisfied, For Coventry fans, Coventry performance at home is too embarrassing.
In the nineteenth minute of the game, after Luton made another bigfoot attempt to find Vardy, Coventry took the ball back.
But in the face of Luton's posture which he instantly retracted, Coventry did not rush to attack, they started to fall behind ...
"Both teams seem to be very .. be careful! Coventry at home played a stable counter-attacking posture, while Luton used the lineup as they beat Manchester City in the previous round, Vardy top. On the front lines, but not getting more support. The other Luton players did not go through the first half at all. "Letkinson was a little disappointed. The game so far has been really uninteresting.
Gao Bo has stood on the sidelines, focusing entirely on the unfortunate game. He was waiting ...waiting for a suitable opportunity!
There were sporadic taunts in the stands, and currently the ball was in Coventry possession!
This sporadic booing seemed to be the trigger, and Coventry fans who had long been reluctant to make progress in the team suddenly booed their own team.
For England fans, their loyalty to the team is quite high, regardless of winning or losing, they always stand with the team. But the most irresistible thing for the British people is the sight before them, they cannot tolerate the "unstretched" team"! !
If the opponent is a strong team in the Premier League, maybe Coventry fans can understand, but now the opponent is obviously a second division team, and Coventry are two levels higher than the opponent, facing such an opponent yet had the courage to attack, no wonder the fans were quite satisfied.
"Eject !! Haven't you guys eaten yet? !!!"
"Coleman !! You're not a bastard !!"
"I'm sick of it !!"
...
Scorning from the stands, Coleman could still hear the mocking from the fans behind her. This is also normal. Since he has been at Coventry for two seasons, Coventry has always missed out on Premier League promotion. The fans had piled up a lot of dissatisfaction with him. With this opportunity, they simply vent the accumulated dissatisfaction. Just out.
Coleman has a dark face. There is little hope for Coventry to be promoted this season, but now the team has reached the quarter-finals in the FA Cup and can enter the semifinals by beating Luton, at least seeing from the results of the FA Cup, he said, Coleman is still very good.
Of course, fans could not understand Coleman's painstaking setup, but Coleman knew that the opponent was just waiting for Coventry to attack.
Look at his opponent's formation, 451! That cunning Chinese just wants to fight on the road!
Coleman automatically blocked the taunts of the fans.
It's just that Coleman can turn a blind eye to the jeers of fans, and Coventry players can't do that.
Henderson picked up the ball, as opposed to the bronze wall and Luton's iron wall, according to Coleman's previous placement, he had to keep making feedback.
But at the moment, Coventry Morrison's attacker was a little lonely, he cut in front of the wing, and then raised his hand to grab the ball.
The sneer from the stands made Henderson a little upset.
Only teams in the second division, do you have to be very careful?
The players at Coventry didn't take it seriously either. The FA Cup is disappointing every year. Maybe the disappointment of the year is a bit bigger, but what does it mean?
The second division team is a second division team!
Henderson made the decision, he looked in the direction Morrison ran. The two of them were good friends, and of course they also had a good understanding.
Morrison knew what he was going to do once he saw Henderson's head, and Morrison sprinted fast forward. And Henderson sent a long pass!
The lethargic situation made the Luton players relax their vigilance. Morrison received the ball smoothly, then he slashed at full-back Solo Davis and finished off a shot from the edge of the penalty zone! A ball rubs the other side of the pole and gets the point!
"Morrison !!! A surprise attack from Coventry, Morrison completed one shot !!!"
Coventry's sudden kick made a mockery in the stands suddenly turned into cheers. Gao Bo was also surprised by Morrison's shot this time, but he reacted quickly.
Is this a prearranged opponent's attack, or a player's temporary intention?
Gao Bo looked at Coleman on the other side. Seeing Coleman's reaction, Gao Bo was convinced that this was an improvisation of the players on the pitch!
Coleman looked worried, she pressed her hand and shouted at the players on the field: "Don't worry !!!"
Right under the cheers of the Coventry fans, I don't know how many people heard Coventry screams. Maybe the Coventry players don't want to hear it.
Gao Bo was a little excited, but he decided to observe.
The Coventry attack soon came again, this time the number of people involved was slightly more, their two attackers joined.
Gao Bo focused on the midfield and defensive performance of Coventry.
Except for Henderson, no one crossed the first line, and there was a quiet disconnect between the Coventry offensive line and the halfway line!
This is the opinion of some Coventry players! !
Gao Bo immediately made his assessment!
He looked at Coleman, who was very anxious!
Don't miss the machine! !
“N'Golo !!!” Gao Bo's voice was much louder than Coleman's. After all, he was very young, he roared loudly, even covering up the cheers made by the Coventry fans on the spot!
His voice was heard by the Luton players on the field, and Gao Bo gestured!
This is a signal to fight!
The faces of the players were excited as well! ! !
They looked at each other's goals, and Kante quietly approached Morrison ...
