Chapter 45: December of the Fast Train

Luton Town almost crushed the top team Wycombe Rovers and left all the second division teams on the sidelines.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Wycombe Rovers manager Peter Taylor said: "First of all I would like to congratulate Coach Goba, who has done a fantastic job and Luton Town are now at least a notch above the rest of the Second Division. Jamie Vardy, Charlie Austin, Drinkwater, N'Golo Kante, young centre-back Jeffrey and even Adam White and Matt Schmidt on the bench are all enviable players, and I really don't know where Gobo brought these players in place. ”

It's hard to quantify how much Luton are better than the rest of the Second Division, and Gao Bo found himself lacking passion for the Second Division because the opponents were too weak. He is now desperate to bring Luton Town to the Premier League, where is where he should be!

However, even if Luton Town are promoted to the Premier League in a year, it will take at least three seasons to be promoted to the Premier League. Until then, the only place where Luton can play against high-level teams is in the cup. The League Cup has been eliminated and with the league getting better and better, Gao Bo now has his sights set on the FA Cup!!

However, the league games still have to be played one game at a time. On the fourth day after the match against Wycombe Rovers, Luton Town hosted a Championship game against visiting Colchester United, who had rotated most of their main squad in the lower part of the second division, and it didn't take much of their squad to win 2-0 at home.

On December 20, the 21st round of the league, after a week of revision, the main lineup hosted Morecambe, facing the opponent's iron bucket formation, Luton spent a lot of effort in the first half, and finally at the end of the first half, captain Kevin Keane broke the net through a long shot, helping the team open the key to victory, and when Luton took the lead, the iron bucket formation was useless, Morecambe attacked, as a result, Luton counterattacked twice in the second half to expand the score, and finally won 3-0 at home against Morecamby, continue to maintain a super high efficiency in the league.

After training on 24 December, Luton Town held a Christmas dinner in the restaurant at the training base, and now everything is going in a good direction, and they have not lost a game in the league so far, and are the only team in the league that are still unbeaten.

"We even have hope of promotion this season!! Boss David Morton excitedly stood on the stage and said.

"Grade A!! Class!!! ”

The players are up there to get up there.

Gao Bo looked at the condition of the players with a smile.

Is it just an upgrade? That's not all my goal...

Gao Bo didn't say what was going on in his mind, and he was worried that if the players were under pressure, maybe they wouldn't perform so well.

Immediately after the Christmas bells rang, Luton Town had two games that Gobo called the "shit schedule".

On 26 December, Luton Town travelled to Cheltefield Town and were set to host second-placed Lincoln City in two days' time.

In this game, the score on the field was still 0-0, and in the face of the opponent's iron bucket formation, Luton's offensive could only return again and again. And just as Gao Bo was about to accept a draw, a scene occurred on the field that made him angry.

At that time, Gao Bo was unscrewing the cap of the bottle to drink water, and as soon as he unscrewed the cap, he threw the water directly on the ground.

It was supposed to be a corner kick for Luton, but the first point was pushed out by the opponent, and then a very fast winger of the opposition dribbled the ball to the edge of the box and fired a long-range shot into the world, the ball grazed the right angle between the crossbar and the post into the goal, the goalkeeper could not do anything.

"Damn !!!" Gao Bo threw the water on the ground hard, startling the substitutes and coaches behind him. The home fans were almost crazy with excitement, and in this small stadium that can only accommodate thousands of people, Gao Bo even felt like he was at the Bernabeu of Real Madrid. For Cheltfield,. If they can win at home against this season's second division superteam, that game will be enough for them to brag about for a month.

In the end, Luton still suffered the first defeat of the season, Gao Bo was very disappointed with this result, but he also knew that this day would come sooner or later, no team can always not lose, Arsenal created a miracle of unbeaten championship in the season, it is a combination of strength and luck to finally reach a low probability time, in fact, even Arsenal that season, there are several games that are almost lost.

Gao Bo quickly adjusted his mentality, it is much better to lose now than to lose at a critical moment... For example, losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup!

.....

In the last game of December, in the 23rd round of the league, Luton Town hosted Lincoln City!

Luton were at their best in this game, and the defeat in the last game seemed to make Luton's players very worried, and they looked aggressive from the start. Gao Bo guessed that the opponent was going to put on an iron bucket formation, so Gao Bo sent Adam White in this game!

The current Adam White is still not passing the physical level, his current fitness condition is the worst in the first team, in order to improve Adam's fitness, the fitness coach Mel has an important overtime hour after the end of training every day - just to improve the fitness of this kid.

Adam is a player who can only use half the court, Gao Bo is still quite sorry for this, with Adam's speed and the spiritual dribbling skills honed on the street court, Gao Bo reminds Gao Bo of Leicester City's championship season, Mahrez, with such a player with breakthrough ability, the iron bucket formation is relatively easy for Luton to knock on.

Adam White should indeed be credited with Luton's opener, a break down the left that resulted in a free-kick from the left side of the box.

Drinkwater's set-piece was on the top of Jeffrey's head, and the Dutchman leaped high to head the ball into the back of the net.

Once they had taken the lead, Luton Town were much better off the line, and just before the end of the first half, they scored again and Jamie Vardy doubled the lead.

In the second half, Gobo replaced Adam White, whose fitness would only allow him to play 45 minutes.

The victory was a relief to Gobo, who was most worried about the slippery effect of the defeat in the previous game, and in any case, Luton were still more than 10 points behind the top of the table in the league.
