Chapter 255: Fame!

"It was an incredible game!! It was an upset in the history of football! Luton Town miraculously beat Juventus 5-2 over two legs!! The teams of the English First Division have beaten the biggest clubs of Europe!! This is a classic reenactment of the story of David's victory over the giant Goliath! This is a classic case in the history of football where the weak defeated the strong!! ”

Luton's celebration was still playing on the TV screen, and the narrator's voice was still coming from the TV!

The players were still celebrating on the pitch and now they're celebrating with the fans.

At this time, the stadium did not know when it began to rain, and in the rain, the players held hands and rushed to the fans in the stands, and came to a collective kneeling, and the fans responded with warm applause.

Journalists were also chasing after each other in the hope of stopping a Luton player for an interview.

Everyone is chasing the winner, and the loser Juventus can only silently go back and lick his wounds.

The cruelty of competitive football is also often this, the winner wins everything, and the loser loses everything.

There's a saying that runners-up are the biggest losers, because they were infinitely close to success, but they fell on the road closest to success – and that's sad.

.....

The players and fans were interacting, and Gao Bo had already gone to the post-match press conference.

Reporters had also finished their interviews in the mixed zone and rushed to the scene of the press conference.

Ferrara didn't show up, and Gao Bo was already sitting on the stage waiting for the press conference to begin.

Journalists are very busy at this time, because this is a big news, and they have to sort out the first-hand news as soon as possible.

In the age of the Internet, the timeliness of news is measured in minutes and seconds.

Journalists are racing against time!

"Press conference begins!!" The press officer said from the stage.

The reporters raised their hands, and everyone raised them high.

The big media still have some advantages, at least the press officer clicked on the BBC reporter who sat at the front!

The BBC reporter stood up with a smile on his face.

"First of all, I need to congratulate Luton and Mr. Gao Bo on qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Europa League, you are now the biggest dark horse team in the history of the Europa League!"

Gao Bo nodded with a smile: "Thank you, but we are not dark horses!" We came to the Europa League as FA Cup winners. ”

Gao Bo was in a good mood, and he had a smile on his face.

"Now that the second leg of the round of 16 has ended, and all the teams in the top 8 have been selected, which opponent do you hope to meet in the quarterfinals?"

"The opponents in the quarterfinals are all strong teams, no matter which team we meet, it is the same for us, and there are no more fish belly teams at this time!" Gao Bo shook his head and said.

Now that the round of 16 has been played, Hamburg and Wolfsburg from the Bundesliga, Valencia and Atletico Madrid from La Liga, Standard Liege from the Belgian league, Benfica from the Portuguese Super League, and Lille from Ligue 1, with the addition of Luton, these eight teams have reached the quarterfinals of this season's Europa League.

'If Luton Town go further, it's the Europa League semi-finals, what are your goals for Luton Town in the Europa League this season?'

"We'll try to go as far as we can!" Gao Bo said that this is also a formulaic answer.

"Do you mean until you win the championship?"

"If we can make it to the final, then why can't we aim for the championship?"

"Luton Town beat Juventus, where do you think Luton are now?"

"We are a team in the English First Division!"

.....

Gao Bo met the questions of reporters from all walks of life at the press conference before leaving, and Gao Bo was naturally in a good mood after winning.

At this time, on the Internet, the news about this game has long exploded.

"Luton humiliated Juventus 4-1, Italian giants were eliminated from the third division!"

"Unpopular!! The biggest upset in Europa League history!! Luton Town knocked out Juventus to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League!! ”

"The Chinese coach led the third division team to humiliate Juventus!! The quarter-finals of the Europa League have been beaten by a crocodile from the lower leagues! ”

"Do you want to win the championship? Juventus were eliminated by them!! ”

Online news is always much more time-sensitive than newspapers and television.

As soon as the contest ended, headlines began to appear on major websites with eye-catching headlines.

And not only in China, England, Italy, in various European countries, the news of Luton's elimination of Juventus was also the first to appear on the Internet!

It's incredible that a small team from the third tier knocked out Juventus and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League!

Fans all over the world are talking about it, and everyone is curious about Luton!

What a third-tier team!

They made it out of the group, then knocked out Ajax, then met Juventus, and just when everyone thought Luton couldn't continue in the Europa League, they beat Juventus 4-1 at home to reach the quarter-finals!

Now, even if Luton Town reach the last four of the Europa League, no one will make much of a fuss!

But everyone is looking forward to it, can Luton really make it to the last four?

"Now it depends on Luton's luck in the semi-finals, the teams in the quarter-finals are not absolutely weak, but there are a few teams that are still relatively weak, for example, only Belgium's standard Liege, except for Luton, they are the weakest team in the quarter-finals, if Luton can draw Standard Liege, maybe they can go further to the semi-finals! But for Luton, even Juventus were eliminated from the competition, and they will not be afraid of any opponent!! To be honest, I'm personally looking forward to Luton's performance in the Europa League this season and we'll see what they do in the end!! ”

Facing the Sky Sports camera, Lightkinson talked!

On the second day, there was still an overwhelming amount of coverage of the game.

They have devoted a lot of space to this game, depicting the whole process of Luton's victory over Juventus!

Because the attention this game has attracted is so high!

Originally, everyone thought that Juventus had drawn a weak team, and even if they were forced to draw at home, not many people would think that Juventus would really be eliminated!

However, when Juventus did lose by a big score away from home, almost all the fans and media who had not been paying attention to the game before were shocked to the ground!

The results are truly impressive!

And what fans like to watch the most is the counterattack drama of the weak team defeating the strong with the weak, so the media is naturally happy to report this game, because only in this way will fans buy more newspapers, and no one will be unable to get along with sales.

If Gao Bo only entered people's field of vision for the first time after winning the FA Cup, but he was not too famous, then now, in the European arena, Gao Bo's team's performance is enough to make them famous!

Now all football fans know that there is a team called Luton Town in the English First Division, and their team has a magical Chinese manager!

They won the FA Cup, they also qualified for the Europa League group, eliminated Ajax and even eliminated Juventus!!

This is a team that looks like a legend!

Until then, are there any lower league teams that do better than them?

Compared with the success of the wealthy, people are more happy to see such a counterattack.

Maybe it's because most of them are ordinary people, just like Luton, such an inconspicuous team, they don't have a glorious history, they don't have a lot of money, but they have created incredible achievements with their own efforts!

Most people love stories like this.

Isn't it?
