Chapter 225 The top sixteen are beckoning

The second half of the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but the score on the field is still 1-2!

Home team in front, away team in the back!

Ajax are behind at home to Luton!

In the past 20 minutes, it was indeed Ajax who controlled the possession, and their possession rate was even as high as 80% at one point!

But the situation now is that Ajax simply can't attack the danger zone of Luton!

In the defensive third, Luton's defence is almost watertight!

Luton looked to be concentrating on defending during this period, with Antoine Griezmann and Adam White coming back to the flanks to get involved in defence, and in the face of Luton's impregnable wall, Ajax no longer seemed to find their attacking feel in the second half of the first half.

Conceding a goal at the start of the second half was a bit too big for Ajax, so much so that when they stabilized their mentality, they found themselves unable to find their attacking sense.

Ajax had empty possession but did not pose any real threat.

It's almost 70 minutes into the game and the situation is still not going much on for Ajax.

They had a lot of shots, and since the start of the second half, Ajax have tried nine shots on goal!

But what about the result..... All nine shots did not test Schmeichel, and since they couldn't get into the box, Ajax's nine shots were all done outside the box, but the football was either blocked by a dense crowd in the box, or flew high over the crossbar, or deflected off the line!

Gao Bo didn't have too much to worry about such a situation.

"High possession doesn't mean anything!" Gao Bo told Lin Sen that he was promoting his "useless theory of ball control".

"What if you just had possession, even if you could get more than 80 per cent possession?" "What really works is the passing at the edge of the box, before the shot, that's the effective possession! ”

However, Lin Sen does not seem to agree with Gao Bo's opinion: "Pep Guardiola's tactics at Barcelona are almost impeccable, they control the ball at all times, so that the opposing team can't even touch the skin. How can this defeat them? ”

Gao Bo smiled, the current Barcelona is indeed gradually rising, and it has begun to have the name of the Cosmos team.

However, Barcelona may face Waterloo in the Champions League this season, because Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan will beat Barcelona with a muscular back three tactics and finally win this season's treble.

The brightest coach of the season is destined to be Jose Mourinho.

Of course, Gao Bo also has ambitions, Mourinho leads Inter Milan, which is a super giant in Europe anyway, and what about him? He was in charge of Luton, a team in the third division.

If Luton Town win the Europa League, the impact will definitely be no worse than Inter Milan's Champions League topping!

This is Gao Bo's ambition, and even if Mourinho is destined to shine, he Gao Bo will take away half of the light.

"Kobayashi, there is never an impeccable tactic!" Gao Bo patted Lin Sen's shoulder and walked to the sidelines.

Because... Gao Bo saw the signs of a counterattack again!

Ajax first developed the ball down the left flank, and Eriksen received the ball and found there was no space on it, before passing it back to Oleg.

By the time Oleg received the ball, N'Golo Kante had crept into the left-hand side of the centre.

It looked like there was no one around Ajax's right midfielder Aino for the time being, so Oleg passed the ball out.

However, the moment he passed the ball, Kante rushed forward, like a cheetah ambushing its prey!

Aino was completely unprepared, and the poor prey was culled!

N'Golo Kante breaks the ball in front of Aino!

Then he didn't stop and passed the ball straight behind the Ajax defence!

Now this kind of pass doesn't need to be accurate at all, just pass in a general direction!

Griezmann is very fast, and the defender Oleg has already rushed up, so Griezmann is almost unguarded!

Griezmann didn't give the Ajax players a chance to react, and just when the Ajax defense was panicking and wanted to lean towards him, Griezmann had already passed the ball!

The ball flew on the ground, and the ball flying against the ground had a clear turn, passing between the goalkeeper and the defender!

Post-point !!

"Adam White !!!!!!"

Amid the roars of the narrators, what Adam has to do is very simple!

All he had to do was lift his foot slightly, let the ball bounce off the inside of the arch of his foot, and fly into the goal!!

"Pretty !!!"

'Luton's quick counter-attack !!'

"Kante broke the ball, after the hit, Griezmann crossed directly after the offside, and Adam inserted it at the back point and pushed it!!"

"All in one go!!

"Smooth! Fast! Fatal!!! ”

"Luton are already 3-1 ahead, which gives them absolute dominance over the two legs!!"

"Top 16!! The Europa League round of 16 is beckoning!! ”

All that remained in the stands was the cheers of the Luton fans, and the Ajax fans forgot to boo.

Ajax, a huge Eredivisie giant, were humiliated at home by a team from the third division of England!

One to three!!

The scoreline was an absolute humiliation for Ajax!!

Martin Yorke on the sidelines is about to make a substitution, and now for Ajax, it can only go all the way to the dark - what else can they do but attack?

Even though the threat of Luton's counter-attack was very high, Martin York couldn't care so much.

After celebrating, Gao Bo looked at the Ajax bench on the other side.

Their backup striker Pantrich is warming up.

Switching to a striker?

Gao Bo can be said to be very comfortable in dealing with such a situation, and the current game situation is very favorable for Luton!

Hassan also went to warm up.

The opponent changed the striker, and Gao Bo strengthened the defensive interception of the midfield!

The substitutions were quickly completed.

However, attacking is not always the more strikers you threaten.

The game wasn't much better than before, with Ajax still in possession but they were completely unable to penetrate all three of Luton's defences.

As the game passed minute by minute, in the eighty-third minute of the game, Gao Bo used his last substitution.

George Parker replaces Antoine Griezmann.

The central defender replaces the striker, and Gao Bo is ready to withdraw the troops!

The game was under Gao Bo's control from start to finish, except of course, for Suarez's unexpected goal....

The game also ended quickly.

When the final whistle blows, the Amsterdam Stadium is silent!

On the pitch, only the Luton players were left in celebration!

Win 3-1 away!

The Europa League round of 16 is already beckoning to Luton!
