Chapter 186: The Enemy of an Enemy Is a Friend

It doesn't matter if you fuck up or not, time doesn't stop because of anyone or anything.

The Luton players who suffered their first defeat of the season are holding their breath, and almost all the media in recent days have been discussing Luton's defeat to Charlton, which has made Luton very unhappy.

No one likes to lose, and the only thing that can heal the wounds of defeat is to win.

Luton's next league opponent is Southside United, who were unlucky against Luton Town after the defeat.

There was nothing bad about the form that followed the defeat, and Luton Town, who were holding back their energy, beat South Union away from home.

Griezmann's injury is not serious, and it will be fine to recuperate for two or three days, but Gao Bo did not let Griezmann start in this game, and the starting striker he chose was Adam with Matt, Adam can play left or right midfield, and he can also play as a striker. Gao Bo likes this kind of player who can play multiple positions, and he has frequently asked Adam to try different positions last season.

Even though the two main strikers did not play, the Southern United still did not stop Luton's attack.

In the first half, Adam opened the scoring with a volley after receiving Matt's header back in the box.

In the second half, Joseph Anderson fired a long-range shot from outside the box that found the back of the net again.

In the 80th minute of the game, Matt's header in the box changed the score to 3-0!!

Luton Town have a win away from home!

So far, 15 rounds of league games have been played, and Luton's results are 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, ranking third in the league with 36 points.

Athletic Athletic, who are first in the league, have 38 points, while Leeds United, who are second, have 37 points.

These three teams are currently the first group in the First Division, and compared to them, Colchester United are now in fourth place with only 28 points, eight points behind third-placed Luton Town!

The First Division has always been a league with a very large gap between rich and poor - those teams that have been relegated from the Championship, or those who have received some capital injections, can often have access to some strong players, while some teams with relatively tight funds have a hard time.

The Championship and League One are very different, which also means that the teams and teams in the First Division are not as balanced as the Championship.

Therefore, it is very common in the first division that the troika goes hand in hand, and the teams behind are widened by the gap as they are now.

At present, it seems that Luton, Charlton Athletic and Leeds United are the main contenders for the top two places in the league and two direct promotion places in the Championship.

Gao Bo is not worried about competition, because even if Charlton Athletic and Leeds United are in good shape, the two sides will still have the opportunity to face each other directly in the second half of the season, and Gao Bo will definitely not allow his team to lose at that time!

Gao Bo is very confident in this, and as Griezmann adapts more and more to the league, his individual quality is steadily improving. As the team's most talented player at the moment, Antoine Griezmann is now the team's attacking centre, and his individual qualities are recognised by everyone. He is one of the most important members of the team, so whether Griezmann can return in the fourth round of the Europa League group stage against Roma away has become a topic of discussion in the media.

“..... It is reported that Griezmann will go to Rome with the team, but whether he can start or not remains to be determined! ”

"If Antoine Griezmann can't start, maybe it's good news for Roma!!"

"Both the manager and the players on Luton's side are silent about whether Griezmann can start, it is rumored that Griezmann's injury has not completely healed, whether he will start in this game, maybe Gao Bo will have a different consideration!"

There is a lot of talk in the media in England, and the media in Rome are also very concerned about whether Griezmann will start.

Antoine Griezmann has been perfect in the group stage of the Europa League, winning all three games and scoring seven goals so far, while it is an exaggeration that almost all of Luton's seven goals in the Europa League have been linked to Griezmann - the 18-year-old Frenchman has three goals and four assists!!

Such efficiency is jaw-dropping, and on the stage of the Europa League, Griezmann is unleashing his talents.

And now Griezmann's injury will undoubtedly be a big loss for Luton's attack.

Is Griezmann on the line?

Now no one knows but the players from Luton.

Gao Bo watched the discussion in the media and did not go out to refute the rumors, anyway, this is not a bad thing for Luton, but the Roman side is suspicious.

Of course, Griezmann can play in this game, which is certain for Gao Bo, Griezmann was actually able to play in the last round of the league, but Gao Bo still decided to be conservative and excluded Griezmann from the squad.

Many stars have been ruined by injuries, and Gao Bo is well aware that players can look strong physically, but they can't afford injuries – injuries are the natural enemy of professional athletes.

When the Luton team walked out of the airport in Rome, they were greeted by the middle fingers of some Roma fans, as well as the cameras and microphones of the media, as well as their team's buses.

In fact, the bus departed from Luton after the team played against Charlton Athletic, passing through the Channel Tunnel, passing through the Great Plains of France, crossing the Alps and all the way to the city of Rome. Sure enough, all roads lead to Rome.

It's also a tradition to play European teams, and in Europe, apart from going to places like faraway Moscow, many teams prefer to take their own buses.

And on the bus, in addition to the team's driver and several support staff, there is also a liaison officer of Lazio Football Club.

"Coach Gao Bo, my name is Kasapa!"

Casapa received the Luton players very warmly, and under his leadership, the team entered the Lazio club's training base.

"Coach Gao Bo, this is our first-team training base, and it will be for you to use these days!!"

Casapa said, pointing to a large pitch of the pitch.

"Thank you so much!!" Gao Bo looked at the well-equipped training ground in front of him and expressed his gratitude to Lazio for their warm help.

"It's nothing, as long as you win against damn Rome!" Kasapa waved his hand.

Gao Bo nodded: "That's what we're here for!" ”

Kasapa smiled when he heard this.

Gao Bo also laughed.

Lazio's enthusiasm saved Luton a lot of trouble, so he was in a good mood.

Lazio and Roma are mortal enemies, for Lazio, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, to make room for Luton to have a training ground, this is a matter of effort, and if Luton win against Roma.... It's going to make Lazio fans happy for a week!
