Chapter 113: Let's Prepare for the Finals
The next morning, Luton returned to Luton from London.
In the city of Luton, the players were treated like heroes, and the cars drove slowly and slowly through the narrow roads of Luton, almost at a creeping pace, and the enthusiastic fans kept Luton on the city roads for two hours before driving into the training ground.
At the training base, Gao Bo announced the news that the team would have a day off.
Beating Arsenal is definitely a cause for celebration for Luton, but Gobo doesn't plan to celebrate at this time, after all, the upcoming fixtures are also very crucial for Luton.
Although it was a holiday, Gao Bo stayed in the office until the afternoon before leaving.
Because at this time, the fans outside the base gradually dispersed - otherwise, Gao Bo would have to sign autographs all the way to the fans, just like the players, and it would take two or three hours to leave.
The players are all big stars now, and Gao Bo doesn't want to go out and steal the limelight from the players at this time.
In the office, Gao Bo wrote down his plans for the next month on his calendar.
The FA Cup final has yet to be decided, but whether it is Everton or Liverpool, the time for the final has already been decided.
On 20 May, at Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup final will take place as scheduled. It will also be Luton's last game of the season.
Prior to this, the second division has also ended, and there are five league games left including the 42nd round of make-ups. One of the most crucial is the next round, the 43rd round of the league, Luton Town at home to the current top team Wycombe Wanderers, now Luton have one game less to play two points behind Wycombe Rangers, once this game wins, Luton will immediately overtake their opponents by one point and seize the top of the table.
Wycombe Rangers are also sad, they have been at the top of the table for more than 40 games this season, and it is likely that they will be overtaken by Luton Town in the next round of the league....
After returning to the apartment, Gao Bo remembered the reward of the mission he had won in the league before.
He opened the soccer card system and found the taskbar.
As a result, after seeing the taskbar, Gao Bo's eyes lit up.
Because in addition to the task of winning the league championship, the task bar has also refreshed another task.
The reward of the mission of "Save Luton" is gradient, in fact, even if he does not win the championship this season, Gao Bo can be regarded as having completed this task, but the reward for winning the mission will be more generous.
If you lead Luton to win the second division, in addition to 8,000 experience, you will also have a blue voucher and 100 lucky draw chances!
Before, Gao Bo had two blue cards in his hand, and one of them was still for training.
The role of the blue card is very clear, this is almost a card that can make the team have a qualitative improvement!
The temptation of this reward is too great for Gao Bo, and the team now looks very close to winning the championship - as long as they beat Wycombe Rovers in the next round to reach the top of the table, as long as the team does not lose in the next few rounds, they can lock up the league title, so now the initiative is in their own hands!
If once the league wins the championship and gets this task reward, when it comes to the FA Cup final, whether it is against Everton or Liverpool, Gao Bo will have another point of certainty.
Gao Bo speculated that this new mission was probably related to the FA Cup.
Sure enough, when he opened it, the task was really related to winning the FA Cup!
"Mission: Legendary Dark Horse!"
"Led Luton to the 2008-2009 FA Cup, which would make Luton the most impressive dark horse in FA Cup history!!"
"Mission rewards: 8,000 XP, a blue voucher, 100 lucky draw chances!"
It seems that in the eyes of the system, the difficulty of winning the FA Cup is the same as winning the league...
Speaking of experience points, Gao Bo remembered that after he was promoted to level two, he hadn't been upgraded for a long time.
He looked at his experience points.
Level 2: 8600/10000
There are more than 1,000 experience to level up! Gao Bo calculated that when the league game was over, he would be able to raise his level to 3 levels and expand a card slot again!
Gao Bo is full of confidence, it seems that when this league is over, his team will have another qualitative improvement! If Everton or Liverpool look at Gobo's team with old eyes, Luton will probably surprise them.
......
Alexander's bar has been doing good business lately, at least when Gao Bo walked in, the bar was already full of people.
However, Gao Bo still has a place, and the position near the window near the TV screen is specially reserved for Gao Bo by Alexander.
"Do you think we're going to run into Everton or Liverpool?" Alexander leaned over and asked, and the drinkers around him pricked up their ears, they were actually very concerned about this question.
Liverpool would have been looking to win the league this season, with Rafael Benitez at the top of the table ahead of Christmas.
But after 2008, Liverpool suffered three draws in January 2009 before being held to a draw by Manchester City, and four consecutive draws have lifted Liverpool to top of the table, and they are now six points behind Manchester United in the table.
Despite this, Rafael Benitez's side have been among the best performers in the Premier League this season, especially since March, when Liverpool's winning streak has not stopped.
Starting with a 1-1 draw by Manchester City, Liverpool have won six consecutive league games, including a 4-1 away win over their arch-rivals Manchester United!
So Liverpool's recent form can be said to be very hot. If he could, Gao Bo didn't want to run into Liverpool in his heart, after all, Benitez's Liverpool is at its peak and is not easy to deal with.
However, in words, Gao Bo still does not leak his voice, whether it is against Everton or Liverpool, he will not show a difference in front of the fans or players.
"It doesn't make a difference to us which team we play against," Gao Bo said.
At this time, there was also a lot of discussion in the tavern.
"I guess it's Liverpool, Liverpool has a good chance of winning Everton, Benitez is much better than Moyes..."
'I think Moyes is good, Liverpool have been winning lately and it's time for them to lose.'
"Why don't you lose this one against us?"
"That's what you're talking about..."
The fans were talking.
In fact, Gao Bo also thinks that it is difficult for Everton to win Liverpool at Wembley, after all, there is still a gap between the two sides in terms of strength, and Moyes is not Benitez's opponent in terms of on-the-spot response.
Sure enough, although the two sides played a one-to-one game in the first half, in the second half, Everton couldn't stand it.
Steven Gerrard's long-range strike put Liverpool in the lead, and the game was then dominated by Rafael Benitez's side.
They gradually turned their advantage into a victory, holding the score 2-1 until the end of the game.
In the end, Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Wembley to win the Merseyside derby and reach the FA Cup final.
