Chapter 94 Semi-finals: Against Arsenal!

Because on the road, Gao Bo and his team did not do too much after the game celebration. After the game, the players did the celebration in the dressing room for a moment, then packed the goods and took the bus and returned to the hotel for a break. One night later, he returned to Luton the next morning.

When the team's vehicle entered the city, the fans almost overflowed. Supporters crowded around the slow-moving bus on urban streets, as if in a championship parade.

In fact, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup was not lost to several teams who became champions for Luton supporters. Since Luton is only a fourth-level team, with that kind of league level to achieve such a result in the FA cup, even if the disemifinal Luton is eliminated, I am worried in the next ten or two decades, he said, when fans call Luton this season when it stops, we have to talk about it.

Luton made a historic breakthrough to the semifinals, driving the whole of Luton crazy. After all, the owner of the shop definitely made a profit last night.

...

On all the sports media pages that were published the next day, this match was the headline that was posted on the front page.

The other three knockout games were attended by Premier League teams, including giants like Arsenal and Liverpool, but the one that attracted the most attention was not surprising when Coventry played against Luton at home. Contest between English Championship teams and second division teams.

“Semi-Final FA Cup Luton!” The title of many media.

Just attributing the name of Luton's team to the FA Cup semi-finals was enough to shock people.

"Lutons led by Chinese coaches do wonders, or they have done wonders. In the second division, Luton, who has been deducted 30 points, are now second in the league, and they are close to sealing a place for promotion. The number of places in the first division league, even after the end of the season, Luton winning the second division championship people will not be surprised! And in the FA Cup, Luton is also a super dark horse in the FA Cup this season, their promotion was not due to sheer luck. They meet Chelsea and Manchester City en route to the semi-finals. But in the end Luton got rid of them !! Now, this second division team is going to Wembley, competing for a ticket to the FA Cup final !! "sky Sports wrote in its report.

And the photo given to them was of Gao Bo jumping to celebrate the goal.

In general, the media prefers to use players as images, after all on the football field, fans prefer to chase individual football stars. However, the British media unanimously opted to include a photo of Gao Bo, which fully demonstrates how successful this head coach has been at Luton.

The first half of the game is pretty boring. Both sides always went on defensive counterattacks, but in the end, under the pressure of the home supporters, Coventry tried to attack, but if the Coventry supporters knew the consequences of suppressing the attack. , They may not be creating pressure on the team. Luton used some Coventry players to try to hit the odds that caused the midfield to be cut off, and completed a quick counterattack !! Scoring goals. "

In the second half, Coventry used a corner kick to score to equalise the score. The essence of the game is in the last minutes of extra time. Luton also uses corner kicks. Centre-back Jeffrey scored with a header. Lore !!! "

......

Three of the four FA Cup quarter-finals have ended. There are no draws in these three matches. The other three teams that reached the quarter-finals included Everton and Arsenal, while Liverpool played Fulham on home soil. The game will be played tonight. Regardless of the outcome of this match, the teams that advanced were all English Premier League teams. No matter which team Luton could be as his opponent, it would not be easy.

But the FA Cup semi-final is already a month away, so Gao Bo is yet to consider the FA Cup for now. In addition to paying attention to tonight's draw, Gao Bo began to refocus in the league.

On the day he returned to Luton, Gao Bo gave the team one day off, and Gao Bo casually let himself take time off.

Since the second division has forty-six league rounds, and Luton needs to take into account the FA cup, his schedule is even more congested than some Premier League teams. Therefore, the team rope had collapsed all along.

Gao Bo understood the truth that it was too late.

But when Gao Bo opened the curtain, seeing the rain patter outside the window, he knew that his plan had been ruined. I can't seem to go anywhere today.

Gao Bo made a pot of tea for himself, then turned on the TV.

Just when Gao Bo and the others were a little impatient, BBC Sports finally started live broadcasting.

The match was played at Liverpool's home stadium, Anfield, and both sides sent out the strongest ranks.

Liverpool are once again far from the Premier League champions this season. In order not to allow themselves empty-handed after the end of the season, they also had to win in the FA Cup to explain to the fans.

While Fulham are in the middle of the league, it is essentially impossible to qualify for the European war, but there are no concerns about relegation. In the league, Fulham are basically running.

In terms of strength, Liverpool are much better than Fulham, but in a one-match knockout system where both sides are heavily committed, Liverpool want to easily snatch Fulham. It's not easy.

It was a very difficult game for both sides. However, in the 73rd minute of the second half, Gerrard broke into the Fulham goal with a long shot, breaking the deadlock in the match.

Then Liverpool managed to maintain a one-zero score until the final whistle sounded, won the game, and earned a ticket to the FA Cup semi-finals.

The FA Cup semi-final draw ceremony was also held soon after the match.

Everton were the first to be pulled out, and then Liverpool were also drawn.

In this way, the result is certain.

The Merseyside derby was played in the FA Cup semi-final, and Luton against Arsenal ...

Gao Bo turned off the TV after seeing the results, he walked to the balcony and looked at the two or three-story apartment not far from it.

Attracting Arsenal ...

Gao Bo frowned, Wenger's team couldn't handle it.

He held the balcony railing, and the lights on the far floor shone through the rain curtains on the white walls and red tiles.

Another new challenge ...

Competing with others is endless fun! Gao Bo was excited again.
