Chapter 160: The Great Eruption

Gao Bo knew what was wrong with the team.

Griezmann is undoubtedly capable of building an attacking core up front, but the problem is that he's still too young!

At just 18 years old, Antoine Griezmann has been inconsistent in his performances, so this has led to Luton's inconsistent attacking form.

However, Gao Bo is still determined to give Griezmann patience, after all, he knows where Griezmann's ability can reach, and if he wants to achieve success in an event like the Europa League, Griezmann has a huge role!

"Anthony, do you know the difference between when you're good and when you're not?"

In order to let Griezmann use the rhythm of the professional league as soon as possible, Gao Bo often brought him in to communicate.

"It's the mentality!!"

Gao Bo patted Griezmann on the shoulder and said.

"Calm your mind down a little bit, don't be so impatient. I know what you're capable of, but you need a little more patience, understand? ”

Griezmann nodded: "I understand, Chief! ”

The day after talking to Antoine Griezmann, Gobo's side beat Exeter City 5-0 at home. Exeter City are also promoted from the second division, so it's a matchup between two promoted horses.

Luton had the game at their feet from the start and the team was in great form, especially Antoine Griezmann!

He scored in the eighth minute of the game!

It was Kevin Keane's cross from the right that the Exeter defenders cleared in a panic and the ball fell into no man's land in the box, and Griezmann was nimble enough to cut in and shoot home to open the scoring.

Griezmann was so excited after the goal that he ran all the way to the sideline and hugged Gao Bo tightly.

"Thank you! Chief!! Thank you!! ”

He roared in Gobo's ear, although he never doubted his own strength, Gobo still chose to believe in himself when the team's form was up and down, which made Griezmann quite touched, and he was very lucky to meet such a manager who almost unconditionally believed in him.

Gao Bo, of course, knew what Griezmann was going to do in the future, and he patted Griezmann on the back and said with a smile: "You're going to be a big star, Antony." ”

Griezmann grinned.

"Let's go back and keep playing! Brat. ”

Antoine Griezmann nodded and ran back to the pitch.

And it turns out that when Griezmann gives full play to his strength, the First Division team can't stop him.

Behind Vardy, Antoine Griezmann feels more and more at home in this position.

In the 28th minute of the game, Griezmann assisted Vardy to score!

In the thirty-ninth minute of the game, it was Griezmann again!

He picked up the ball in midfield and distributed it to Adam White on the wing, then ran to beckon for the ball and when it came he was ready to shoot, only to get it on the other side of the box.

Drinkwater, who came in front, also scored!

Antoine Griezmann played the opposing defenders around.

At 3-0 in the first half, Luton had already sealed the win, and the second half of the game also entered the rhythm of Luton.

Counter-attacking is what Gobo's side are good at, and when Exeter City tried to press up, Luton's counter-attacks made them a little unbearable.

In the 68th minute of the game, Kante launched a counterattack directly after breaking the ball at the back.

Luton Town had three shots in front, with Adam White on the left, Antoine Griezmann on the right, and Jamie Vardy in the middle running high on the pitch.

Adam dribbled all the way to the bottom line and crossed to the back post, before Antoine Griezmann gently pushed the ball down the middle.

Jamie Vardy opened the scoring with ease in the middle.

Just two minutes later, it was almost the same routine, with a counter-attacking link between Adam, Antoine Griezmann and Jamie Vardy once again allowing Luton to score.

This made Gao Bo very excited, because he saw another possibility from these two counter-attacks - maybe Luton could field up three strikers to play a counter-attacking formation at some point?

Adam, Vardy, Griezmann are all quite fast!

However, this is only an idea, and the team's main tactic is still 442, following last season's tactical ideas.

The overall pressing, the overall defense.

This is the team's most proficient part, and the quick transition between attack and defense is a weapon to score goals.

Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick in this game, while Antoine Griezmann exaggerated, scoring one goal and then assisting the remaining four goals.

Such a performance made Gao Bo smile, history does not lie, if Gao Bo did not bring Griezmann to England, this season Griezmann will also take off in Real Sociedad, and then soon make a name for himself in La Liga.

However, Gao Bo does not think that he has delayed Griezmann's future.

This season, Gao Bo will make Griezmann shine even brighter in the Europa League!

However, after the game, many media in England still found a lot of fault with Luton.

“... A big win over Exeter City is certainly good for Luton, but don't forget that Exeter, like Luton, are also promoted horses! Perhaps Luton Town will show such a crazy performance when they face their opponents in the second division that year. The Daily Mail said on a sports section.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the same is true for the team, Luton Town has made a name for itself in England after winning the FA Cup, which has also brought attention from the media.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Gao Bo is naturally too lazy to respond to these media, for him, instead of arguing with the media, it is better to focus on the team's work.

"Look at what these newspapers say? They say we only play like that when we play against a team in the second division!! ”

On 12 September, before Luton's home game against Millwall in the seventh round of the league, Gobo instead used the media's disdain to boost the team's morale.

Sure enough, feeling underestimated, the players gave Millwall a humiliating defeat at home!

Millwall are considered one of the favourites for promotion to the Championship, having come close to promotion last season – only in the final of the promotion play-offs, Millwall were beaten by Scanthop in the 93rd minute, losing 3-2 to their opponents and remaining in the First Division. But there's no denying that Millwall are one of several strong teams in the First Division.

However, Millwall had a poor start to the season, finishing 14th in the league with one win, four draws and one loss after six rounds, while Luton Town were fourth in the league with 12 points from three draws and three wins. However, for Millwall, after suffering a first-round defeat in the league and then suffering four draws in a row, Millwall look to be on track after a final win in the previous round of the league.

So before this game started, Millwall was very confident about this game.

But when they met Luton, who had been beaten from the start, Millwall were beaten out.

As soon as the first half started, just two minutes into the game, Luton Town scored!

Adam's shot after cutting inside on the wing gave the team the opening goal!!

Gao Bo applauded Adam's performance after seeing the ball. Adam is one of the team's hardest working players, and after the team's practice is over, Adam stays to practice shooting.

Because he has a good explosiveness, it is very effective to get rid of this inside, so Gao Bo suggested that he practice more shooting in this area at the edge of the big box on the left.

And it worked out very well.

"This kid can be used as Luo Ben on the left if he practices more!"

Gao Bo said to John while clapping. Adam is the player he discovered, so the better Adam performs, the happier Gao Bo is.

Because it would give him the feeling that he had changed the history of football - there was no such player as Adam in the history of Gobo in his last life, and now, if Luton are ready to sell Adam, the big teams in England will definitely pay up to 10 million!

The transfer fee is not what it was a few years ago, and with inflation and more and more money pouring into European football, it is only natural that transfer fees are also rising.

After conceding the first goal, Millwall took their own strength and decided to press on the attack in the hope of equalising as soon as possible.

And Luton, of course, are not welcome.

In the twenty-eighth minute of the first half, Luton made a successful counter-attack, Vardy distributed the ball to the right in the box, and Griezmann, who cut in at high speed, sent the ball into the empty net!

Two to zero!

The game was in full swing at Luton's pace.

In the second half, Luton simply launched front-court pressure in the front, which is also Luton's forte!

In the 67th minute of the game, Kante broke the ball near the center circle and immediately handed the ball to Kevin Keane, who immediately crossed from the right, Vardy jumped high in the box and headed the goal!

Three to zero!

Luton's goal wasn't over yet.

In the 79th minute, N'Golo Kante took a few steps forward with the ball after a steal in front of him, and then he also tried a kick.

And it turned out to be another goal!

N'Golo Kante's goal was a novelty, and Luton's players rushed up to congratulate him on his goal.

The team's most important interceptor at the back scored a long-range shot.

Gao Bo actually wants Kante to strengthen his long-range shooting ability as soon as possible, because many times if Kante can break the ball in the front court, if Kante has a beautiful long-range shot, it can solve a lot of problems!

Gao Bo hopes that the team can play simple and practical. Gao Bo doesn't like to be too redundant with the ball. His purpose is utilitarian - to score goals and defend!

This is Gao Bo's idea, which is simple, direct and effective.

The 4-0 saw promotion favourites Millwall leave Wards in disgrace.

And for Luton, the win brought their points to fifteen! With a goal difference of twelve, they climbed to third place in the table, clear on goal difference behind fourth-placed Bristol Rovers, four points behind second-placed Leeds United.

Charlton Athletic and Leeds, who are currently in the top two of the table, have 19 points. And Luton Town has finally stabilized their position in the standings with two consecutive big wins.

At this point, the media seemed to have forgotten what they had said before the game, and they immediately praised Luton's performance.

That's the case with the media, they always need to find something to talk about....

The two-game winning streak in the league has also taken the pressure off the team, and after the home win over Millwall, the team has set their sights on Europe – the first game of the Europa League group stage is just around the corner!
