Chapter 232 Juventus is too strong
After today's resuming training at the team's training base, they will be on the road to take on Yeovil.
Due to the intensive schedule, the team's training is now based on relatively easy recovery training, if the interval between the two games is more than five days, Gao Bo will consider interspersing a training session with a relatively large amount of training in the middle.
By now, you can see that the team has done a solid job in pre-season training. The players celebrate how they play on the pitch and as long as they are in good shape, then Luton's fighting power is guaranteed on the pitch.
Now for the team, the league game task is very crucial, after all, in the standings, Luton's points are surpassed by Leeds United and Charlton Athletic!
So now Luton Town must secure three points in the league to tighten their grip and even overtake their rivals.
March 1, the 31st round of the league, away!
In the midst of a heavy rain, Luton Town beat home team Yeovil 2-1 away from home.
It was a tough game for Luton. In the heavy rain, Luton's technical advantages were not brought to full play, and the football flew in the air, and for Yeovir, who had been playing in the lower leagues for many years, playing in such weather was what they did best.
However, in the end, Luton won the game with a difficult victory thanks to Griezmann's two long-range shots.
In heavy rainy weather, the success rate of long-range shooting is also much higher.
The day after the game, after the players returned to Luton from away, UEFA held the draw for the Europa League round of 16 in Nyon, Switzerland.
This time, even Gao Bo felt scratching his head.
Juventus!
Luton Town will meet Juventus in the round of 16!
The dominant team in Serie A!
Juventus is nicknamed the Old Lady, the Italian-style reinforced concrete defense and lightning-fast counter-attacks are the hallmarks of this team, and their performance is very consistent, and Juventus's overall style tends to be conservative, many people call Juventus like an old lady, and the style of play has remained conservative for thousands of years. However, in fact, for a team like Luton, the biggest fear should be to meet a team with experience and a stable and mature style of play like Juventus.
Round of 16 meets Juventus.... This is not an easy opponent to deal with.
Although Juventus' current form is not good, Gao Bo believes that Juventus is a more feared opponent for Luton than Roma - this is related to the style of the team, Luton is a young team, and Juventus's strength is also above Luton, in the face of such a conservative style of play team, Luton may be difficult to take advantage of them.
Juventus have been drawn in Group A in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage, alongside Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and Haifa Marca.
When Juventus entered this group, the Italian media was still quite optimistic, in terms of strength, Juventus is obviously one of the strongest teams in this group, at least compared with the other two teams except Bayern Munich, Juventus's strength is still quite good, especially last season, the Bianconeri who re-emerged from the second division performed well in the first division, they are not an ordinary promotion horse, and in the end Juventus also won the third place in Serie A, Got to participate in the Champions Cup.
In the group stage of the Champions League, Juventus only won two wins, drew two and lost two, ranking third with eight points, and finally had to participate in the Europa League.
However, this season, Ferrara's side have not only failed in the league, after 27 league games, Juventus have lost nine games, while there are also five draws, winning only 13 of them, which only puts them in fifth place in the league, and 44 points are far below the top team Inter Milan's 59 points!
There is no hope of winning the league, and Juventus were also eliminated in the Coppa Italia in the cup, so for Ferrara, the only remaining title hope is probably the current Europa League.
.....
Luton's draw against Juventus is undoubtedly big news.
Many English media outlets believe that Luton's Europa League campaign has come to an end.
"To be honest, it has not been easy for Luton to get to this point in the Europa League, and the European competition is not as good as the domestic cup competition, which presents a very serious test for the management and organisation of the team, as well as the depth and fitness of the team's bench. Luton Town are a small team and it's hard for them to travel all over the continent and take care of the Europa League at the same time! ”
This remark has been expressed by many media in different ways, in short, there is only one central idea expressed - Luton has done a good job, and it should be accepted when it is good, Juventus is the hegemon of Serie A, how can Luton in the English First Division be able to beat the opponent? And now that Luton Town are in third place in the league, it is the right choice for Luton to give up the Europa League and go all out in the league.
In fact, except for the later assertion that Luton Town gave up the Europa League, Gao Bo agrees with the media's opinion to a certain extent.
Juventus are stronger than Luton, and their style of play is somewhat similar to Luton's, and they are a solid counter-attacking team with Luton in fact.
However, contrary to what the media imagined, despite the difficulties against Juventus, it was ..... Gao Bo definitely didn't intend to just admit defeat.
Although it is not a shame to lose to Juventus, Luton's results in the Europa League this season are impressive enough, and even Everton in the Premier League was eliminated by Juventus.
However, Gao Bo does not intend to admit defeat, but it does not mean that he has to fight hard.
If Luton Town press up and go toe-to-toe with Juventus..... I'm afraid I'm going to die a terrible death.
So in this game, the team still has to pay attention to some strategies.
Best.... Let Juventus think that Luton Town is ready to give up the Europa League!
Hide from the world.... Gao Bo touched his chin and thought, this play should be performed well.
.......
"The Europa League draw against Juventus was so unlucky......... Juventus are so stable, so stable that we can barely see their holes. But at the moment we're still focused on the league and I'd rather talk about our game against Bristol City! ”
On the TV screen, Gao Bo's words were very clear.
It was in the 42nd round of the league when Luton Town were at home to Bristol Rovers and Gobo was asked by reporters about the Europa League tie in his pre-match press conference.
In the TV picture, Gao Bo frowned, looking distressed.
In fact, people are not surprised, but they think that Gao Bo's complaint is indeed justified - Luton is really unlucky.
It looks like Luton Town are ready to give up the Europa League.
Many of the English media at the scene were a little stunned. Intellectually speaking, there is no problem with Gao Bo's choice, but there are still many people who want to see if Luton, a dark horse that has been rising since last season, can continue to create miracles in the Europa League.
Now it seems ....
A miracle is no longer possible.
