Chapter 256: The opponent of the quarterfinals

The European media has been discussing this matter for several days, and Gao Bo is now one of the hottest managers in Europe.

In Madrid, in Milan, in Munich, in Paris!

Almost all the big newspapers were covering Luton, covering Gao Bo.

Fans are always very interested in such inspirational stories.

He was deducted 30 points for promotion to the second division title in the season, defeated a strong opponent to win the FA Cup, beat Roma over two legs, eliminated Ajax, and humiliated Juventus......

After detailed reports by major European media, these events were regarded as legendary stories by fans.

What the Chinese media have to do is even simpler, they only need to translate the reports of these big European media and send them back to China, and countless fans will easily buy it...

It's hot in the media, but for Gao Bo, his team is still very quiet and ready for the next game.

Luton is a small city, and the good thing about a small city is that you don't have to be disturbed too much.

And Mendes called to ask about Gao Bo's intention to appear on TV - many English and even Spanish and French television stations have invited Gao Bo to appear on sports talk shows, and these Europeans are very interested in the story of a Chinese in England.

After seeing the commission given by the TV station, Gao Bo was still very moved, but he finally shook his head and refused.

"The team schedule is so busy right now that I can't find time to go to any show at this time!" Gao Bo explained.

For Gao Bo, the most important thing now is to seize the precious time between the games and adjust the team's condition to prepare for the next game.

Mendes said he understood, but in the offseason, it is estimated that Gao Bo will not be able to escape such a thing.

I hope that Gao Bo will still have the same heat as he is now!

On March 21, UEFA held the draw for the quarterfinals of the Europa League in Nyon, Switzerland.

This is something that is of great concern to Luton throughout the city, and the media are also quite concerned about the format of the draw for Luton.

“..... The draw will take place later today in Nyon, Switzerland, and now in the Europa League, Luton Town are the only English team to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League. BBC Television is broadcasting the draw live, and the host is still England legend Lineker.

Luton were quickly drawn out of the game, followed by their opponents.

When the draw was drawn and Bing unfolded the small note in his hand, Lineker said immediately.

"Wolfsburg !!"

"Luton drew the !! Wolfsburg"

Lineker raised his voice and said, not knowing if it was excitement or something else.

In a way, VfL Wolfsburg is the strongest team in the quarter-finals!

They were the Bundesliga champions last season!

Last season's move to bring in Barzagli and Zalcado was a deal that shocked Europe, but more crucially, Magath turned Wolfsburg into a force in the Bundesliga, beating Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title last season.

However, before the season began, Magath left, he immediately took over Schalke 04, waved goodbye to Wolfsburg, and then Wolfsburg immediately appointed a new coach Amin Fei, but Fei's coaching results at Wolfsburg were very poor, and Wolfsburg even fell to the relegation zone for a time.

From the defending champions to relegation, the Wolfsburg hierarchy was clearly unhappy with this, and in February this year, when the team lost 3-0 at home to Bayern Munich, the unbearable Wolfsburg management fired Fei Squid. However, they did not immediately find a new head coach, and it is the reserve coach Kostner who is now in charge of Wolfsburg!

"In a way, Wolfsburg is a tougher opponent than Juventus. Juventus' squad is very old, and the age structure of their starting line-up is seriously unreasonable, while Wolfsburg does not have this problem, and their poor performance in the league is actually due to their need to play on multiple fronts. Of course, there are also problems between Amin Fei and the Wolfsburg players, but now the whole Wolfsburg team has gradually come out of the slump under the leadership of acting head coach Kostner, they have at least come out of the relegation zone and come to the middle of the league, and in the Europa League, Wolfsburg also eliminated Villarreal and Kazan Lubing to reach the quarterfinals, which shows that their strength is still gradually recovering. Now Wolfsburg retains most of last season's winning squad, and its strength should not be underestimated! ”

English football legend Paul Mawson said in front of the TV camera.

After retiring, most of these celebrities also chose football-related jobs, in addition to being coaches, most of the rest worked as commentators in the media, or wrote articles in newspapers and the like.

Of course, there are those who oppose it.

The TV station invited the celebrities to appear on TV, just to let them have a war of words and create some gimmicks to attract more viewers.

Gao Bo never watched this kind of TV show, and in fact, after the lottery results came out, he turned off the TV.

Although Wolfsburg is a strong opponent, Gao Bo is not discouraged by this.

When it comes to the final stages, no matter what opponent they face, all Luton need to do is beat them and move on!

Wolfsburg, who are worried about internal and external troubles this season, is also an opponent that Luton must beat!

While the draw was still being discussed in the media, Luton's league games were also coming one after another.

On March 22, the team hosted Huddersfield Town, and Gao Bo made some rotations in this game, perhaps because the excitement was still stirring after advancing to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and the substitute Luton Town won 5-1 at home! Matt scored a hat-trick, Joseph Ander also scored a goal and full-back Soro Davies scored from distance!

Immediately after this game, the team went to the away stadium.

On March 26, the team faced Stoke Harbour away!

Luton didn't face much of a test in this game, and Luton Town, who played away from home, eliminated their opponents cleanly 4-0.

Back-to-back victories have not lifted the team up the table as their rivals Charlton Athletic are also on a winning streak.

But after this round of the league, the thirty-seventh round! The team will take on Charlton Athletic away from home!

It will be a direct conversation between the top team and the second place, and the winner will take the top spot!
