Chapter 163: A concise attack

"Ball.. The ball went in!? ”

Not to mention the Bulgarians, even Lightkinson was stunned for a moment, and he instinctively went to look at the time.

"Fifty-four seconds?"

Mr. Rentkinson was somewhat shocked to say the number.

"Since I was looking at the time after this goal, the time of the goal was a few seconds before that, about fifty seconds or so!!"

Sure enough, a replay of the goal began to play on the TV screen.

"Fifty seconds!! Fifty seconds into the opening!! Luton Town got on the scoresheet!! It's been a pretty fantastic start! Before the start of this game, everyone was thinking about what Luton's first Europa League game would be like, but no one expected that Luton would give their fans a big surprise as soon as the game started!! Antoine Griezmann scored! It was the first goal of the game and the first European goal in Luton's history!! Rentkinson spoke quite quickly, pausing for a moment before continuing: "This goal is a great example of Gobba's team, they are very good at seizing opportunities for attacking and defending, successive longitudinal passes, Adam's cross is actually not very good, but then Kevin Keane's handling on the right and Griezmann's nimble and clever movement make this beautiful goal!" ”

"The moment Griezmann took the shot, the CSKA Sofia goalkeeper was almost unresponsive, and he could only watch the football go into the net! Pretty!! 1 to 0!! Luton Town have the upper hand!! ”

Lightkinson, as England's commentator, is of course supporting Luton at this time.

Griezmann was also very excited after the goal, this is the Europa League, it is a goal in the European competition!

Antoine Griezmann ran to the sideline with open arms.

Gao Bo was still applauding, he was applauding the team's goal this time, it was a typical Luton style goal, simple and fast! Fatal with one hit!

As he watched Griezmann run towards him, Gao Bo laughed and opened his arms.

Griezmann crashed headfirst into Gao Bo's arms.

"Thank you! Chief!!! Griezmann yelled in Gobo's ear, "This is the Europa League!!! I love the feeling of scoring goals in this kind of arena!! ”

"You're the best player on the field!!"

Gao Bo patted Griezmann on the back and said, this is not just words of encouragement for the players, Gao Bo really thinks so.

Griezmann was originally a very talented player, and now under Gao Bo's hands, if Griezmann has been following Gao Bo, Gao Bo is even sure to build Griezmann into the number one star on the planet!

With the strength of the game and the kicker of the cards, this kind of improvement is exciting enough just thinking about it!

The rest of Luton's players also rushed over and they hugged on the sidelines.

On the other side, CSKA Sofia's head coach, Mr. Penev, was frowning at this time.

Underestimating each other?

Or is it just luck?

Penev wasn't sure, because the total time between the two sides was only more than fifty seconds, what can be seen in these more than fifty seconds?

I can't see anything, the only thing that is certain is that the other party's ability to seize the opportunity is too strong! Just one chance, and the result was a goal!

Penev grabbed his chin and thought for a while, if he conceded the ball now, maybe it would not be a bad thing for CSKA Sofia, at least it would make the players let go of their contempt!

At this point, Penef still doesn't think his team will be weaker than Luton, anyway, the opponent is a third-tier team, as long as CSKA Sofia is serious, there is no problem in winning at home.

"Cheer up!! See!! Don't take your opponent lightly just because they are a third-tier team!! They are the winners of the FA Cup!! ”

Penev yelled at the field, and he yelled so loudly that all the CSKA Sofia players could hear him.

Anyway, no one in Luton's squad now understands Bulgarian, so Penev simply didn't pretend to cover his mouth with his hands and then find players to communicate quietly.

There's no need for that!

"Attack it!! Crush them with offense!! ”

Penev yelled.

CSKA Sofia's players also seemed to be very upset about the goal conceded, which was also related to their mentality before the game, they were already contemptuous, but the result at this time slapped them hard. This made the players a little annoyed.

And the reaction on the pitch was that CSKA Sofia took advantage of the kick-off moment to immediately attack.

But their offensive soon came to a halt.

Jeffrey cleared the ball in the box and kicked it forward.

And at the moment when the clearance was completed, Luton's formation collectively pressed forward.

As soon as the CSKA Sofia centre-back got the ball under control, Luton's arrow Vardy had already rushed up!

The tall centre-back looked at his skills and had to continue to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, who hastily cleared the ball and kicked it off the touchline!

The next game made the head coach of CSKA Sofia on the sidelines, Penev's whole face wrinkled, and the situation on the field was really completely unexpected by him.

CSKA Sofia is completely suppressed!

They couldn't get the ball and had to make hasty clearances before giving it to Luton.

Luton, on the other hand, don't seem to like possession, and their attack is very simple, hitting the front of the pitch with three or five passes and then quickly finding a shot or cross.

The ball was exchanged frequently, but this was not a good thing for CSKA Sofia, because Luton's formation was pressed on the edge of their penalty area, and Luton's forward pressing made them completely unable to organize the attack effectively, and the tactic of finding a striker with long balls was to meet Luton's two very strong centre-backs who were very strong in front defense.

What's more, Luton's two-point ability is also very strong, and the ball from the central defenders is often picked up by N'Golo Kante or Drinkwater, and then Luton attack again.

Luton's attacking style is very simple, basically a few passes can create a shot on goal.

The form of CSKA Sofia was at one time rather passive.

When Jamie Vardy's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Penev knew that this could not go on like this, and that CSKA Sofia had to change!

Luton's corner was taken and the goalkeeper burst out of the six-yard box to send the ball out of the box. Left-back Sandro from outside the box picked up the ball and fired a long-range shot that grazed the crossbar.

"Well done!! Alex!! ”

Gao Bo praised Sandro's performance on the sidelines, and at this time, CSKA Sofia's head coach Penev took advantage of the dead ball time to call the captain over!

"Defense!! Then we play on the counter-attack!! Get the players back in the box to defend and give up possession!! ”

Since Luton's side is not very good at possession, CSKA Sofia simply gave up possession, and they piled up defenders at the front of the penalty area, allowing Luton to attack the dense defensive iron bucket formation!

Gao Bo soon spotted the change in his opponent.

Iron Bucket Array?

He looked at the performance of CSKA Sofia, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to equalise now, with CSKA Sofia forming two defensive lines at the edge of the box.

Gao Bo didn't care, after all, it was Luton who was leading at this time, compared to the counterattack after the front court pressing, dismantling the bus is not what Luton is good at, but now it is Luton who is leading, so it should be the other party who should be anxious!

Next, CSKA Sofia's form is still passive, but Penev's adjustment will at least make the previous situation much less noisy.

Luton Town is still frequently looking for opportunities to shoot, as long as there is space to shoot, the players on Luton's side do not hesitate in the slightest!

CSKA Sofia's defence did a good job though, and they were lucky, with the first half coming to an end soon after their goalkeeper saved a couple of dangerous shots from Luton.

1 to 0!

After Luton's dream start, there were no goals for the rest of the first half. Both sides walked into the dressing room after the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

After the break, the two sides will continue to compete on this stadium!
