Chapter 258 is low-key

Luton's big win away at Charlton Athletic was no surprise.

Sky Sports wrote in a media report the following day: "With Luton's quality, they should have taken the top spot in the league a long time ago, but in order to take care of the Europa League, Luton's results in the league have suffered, so Charlton can hold the top position for a long time." But this game made people see that apart from Luton, Charlton, the best team in the first division, was almost defenseless when facing Luton! Luton Town won away from home almost with ease! ”

“...... Charlton coach Parkkinson also said in an interview after the game that unless Luton make mistakes in the next nine rounds of the league, it will be difficult for Charlton to continue to catch up with Luton! Luton's quality is unique in the First Division, and even Charlton have to shrink their defence when facing them! ”

“..... In fact, in the second half of the game, Coach Gobo's substitution had the meaning of training, he tried several combinations of strikers, and it seemed that Luton were already preparing for Wolfsburg away! ”

There has been a lot of talk in the media, with most English media agreeing that Luton, although they are now only two points ahead of Charlton, will find it difficult for Charlton to overtake them.

It will be too difficult for the next opponents to beat Luton, who are now in great form, and at least the English media can't imagine what kind of opponent Luton will lose.

In the next few rounds of the league, it would not be surprising that Luton Town would win them all.

And just when the media was talking, the whole Luton team had already taken a plane and arrived in Wolfsburg!

VfL Wolfsburg is located in Lower Saxony in northern Germany, where Volkswagen is headquartered, and in fact the main sponsor of Wolfsburg is the Volkswagen Group!

In fact, the entire city of Wolfsburg is closely linked to the Volkswagen Group, which was founded in 1938 on Hitler's orders to house Volkswagen employees.

This is the world's famous Motor City!

Luton's opponents, VfL Wolfsburg, have not been in great shape of late.

Although the points have gradually climbed to ninth place under the leadership of acting head coach Kostner, Wolfsburg's results are not stable these days.

This instability is the instability of the whole team!

Take the last few games, for example.

They beat Bochum 4-1 on 6 March and then beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0!

Just as all the Wolfsburg fans were chanting Long live Kostner, they immediately lost 5-1 at home to Hertha Berlin!

They then had a 4-0 win over Hoffenheim and then a 4-0 defeat at Mainz.......

This rhythm has put the hearts of Wolfsburg's supporters to the test.

A big win, then a big defeat!

Such an unstable situation in Wolfsburg makes it difficult to predict him!

This team is so unstable that Gao Bo also has a headache for this game.

Who knows what their form was in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals?

If Wolfsburg show their form of big wins, Luton Town may not be comfortable on the road.

And Wolfsburg still has a couple of pretty good players.

Bosnia-Herzegovina centre-forward Dzeko is 193 centimeters tall and he is Wolfsburg's striker. Last season, the Bosnian striker began to explode. Dzeko and Grafitt led Wolfsburg on a spree-sack basis, with Dzeko netting 25 league goals in 33 games. Going into May 2009, Dzeko scored a hat-trick in fortnights against Hoffenheim and Hannover. In just four games in May, he has scored nine goals. This directly helped Wolfsburg secure the Bundesliga title for the 2008 season.

And so far this season, the Bosnian striker has scored eighteen goals in the league, ranking first in the Bundesliga scorers' list!

Andrea Barzagli on the back line, the Italian central defender is one of the best in the world, his one-on-one defensive skills are quite good, and he has an excellent sense of position, accurate prediction, and very consistent play!

And in midfield, Wolfsburg still has players like Misimovic. This is another Bosnian player, he is the heart of Wolfsburg's front court, and he has done a very good job of organising and tandem up front, and his inspiration and imagination are absolutely world-class. Coupled with Misimovic's excellent free-kick skills, the Bosnian midfielder has played a huge role at Wolfsburg.

In addition, Wolfsburg's right-back Little, left-back Fischer, midfielder Joshua, Japanese midfielders Makoto Hasebe, Gentner, and Dzeko's striker partner Grafeth are all famous players for a while!

In terms of squads, Wolfsburg have a very strong squad, which is clearly not commensurate with their current position in the Bundesliga.

Even after the change of manager, Wolfsburg still had a lot of problems, with loose formations and habitual defensive short-circuits making it difficult for them to move forward in the Bundesliga. The defending champions are unlikely to even finish in the top five this season!

.......

The weather in Germany was good, and although the temperature in Germany was still very low in April, the sun was warm and the players felt comfortable.

This made Gao Bo somewhat reassured about this game.

It's always going to be tough away from home, but if you can get some good weather, that's the best.

After two days of acclimatization, the time for the race is getting closer.

The day before the match, Gao Bo attended the pre-match press conference in the hotel.

German journalists don't have tricky questions, and Gao Bo only gives formulaic answers.

'VfL Wolfsburg is a strong team, they are very good in attack and have a lot of good players, so we will pay attention to them!'

"The goal of this game? We're certainly going to give it our all and try to win away from home! ”

Gao Bo's press conference was very brief.

On the other hand, his opponent, Wolfsburg's acting head coach Kostner, also kept a low profile at his press conference.

"I wouldn't see Luton as a team in the third tier, the team that can beat Juventus is definitely a strong team, there's no doubt about it!"

'We want to get to the semi-finals, so it's very important to play at home. Luton Town have an excellent record at home and if we want to knock them out, we will have to do as well as we can at home! ”

The managers on both sides were very low-key before the game.
