Chapter Ninety-Five: It's just a small goal

Gobo continues his star-making project in the second division, and he is determined to make Charlie Austin the brightest star in the second division, so that the local clubs will come up with cheques.

On February 11, in the 35th round of the league, Luton Town played at home against Gillingham. Due to the increasing frequency of fixtures in the latter part of the season, Gao Bo made some rotations in this game.

Luton played perfectly at home, beating Gillingham 5-0 and the result was impeccable. From the start of the game, Luton Town had a firm grip on the tempo of the game, Gillingham had no chance at Washway Stadium, and in terms of post-game statistics, Luton were completely crushing.

"It's a Super League level team and a second division team."

That's what the Hat-Buyer newspaper said after the game.

From the front line to the midfield and at the back, Gao Bo gave several rotational substitutes the opportunity to play. However, the biggest highlight of this game was not Gao Bo's rotation - it was Hassan Ali.

The 17-year-old defensive midfielder was pushed into the attacking midfield position by Gao Bo in this game, of course, Hassan Ali was still a defender at heart, Gao Bo just asked him to change positions to participate in the defense - Hassan Ali covered the area close to the edge of the opposition penalty area, and three of Luton's five goals were launched by Hassan Ali on the spot after a successful break from the edge of the box.

Putting a defender in the attacker's position in the front, this move Gao Bo learned from Mourinho, and it turned out that this move was really effective, in the face of Luton's suffocating pressing in the front, Gillingham could not attack, and the defense was full of holes, and naturally Luton was beaten into a sieve.

And Charlie Austin, who started as a striker alongside Matt Schmidt in this game, scored twice and continued his good form.

.......

“....... Terrifying fourteen wins in a row!! In the 36th round of the second division, Luton Town defeated Exeter City 2-1 at home!! Charlie Austin, who has been on a burst of form of late, continued to score and another striker, Jamie Valdy, sealed the win!! Since losing to Cheltfield Town in the 22nd round of the league at the end of December, Luton Town have once again started their winning streak in the league, and in the second division, they have few opponents to stop, and after beating Lincoln City, they have now picked up 73 points, including the 30 points they have been deducted, they have picked up 103 points in 36 games, which is an incredible efficiency of points!! ”

“...... Luton's winning streak continues, they beat Notts County in the round of 37, and Gobau's side are unstoppable and they are in good chance of accomplishing a great feat this season – winning the Second Division title from 30 points behind!! Because Luton, who are now second in the league table, are only three points clear of Wycombe Rovers at the top of the table, and in the 43rd round of the league, the two teams will have a chance to meet head-to-head - perhaps before the two sides meet..."

“......... With five rounds left in the second division, after the 41st round of the league, Luton are one point behind the top of the table and in second place, while from March to April, from the 38th round of the league to the 41st round of the league, Luton Town won again in a row! They have set a record for a winning streak in the Second Division – a feared nineteen in a row!! There is a good chance that this team will continue their winning streak in the remaining leagues. ”

“....... The top of the table, Wycombe Wanderers, can breathe a sigh of relief, because on April 19, Luton will travel to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, so the 42nd round of the league originally scheduled for April 18, Luton's away game against Barnet will be rescheduled, so that Luton Town with one game less is likely to be opened up by Wycombe Rangers by four points. ”

..........

"Hooray!!!!!!

At the tavern frequented by Gao Bo, the drinkers raised their glasses and their faces beamed with joy.

Because just now, the TV screen is showing the 42nd round of the Second Division!

Wycombe Rovers take on Bournemouth away and the top team faces stubborn resistance from the Cherries on the road!

When the game ended, the score was 0-0!

That means Luton are just two points behind Wycombe Rovers with a game in hand. With Luton's current form, it can almost be said that they have locked up the second division title!

"We've got this championship, right, Gao!!"

Alexander, the owner of the tavern, came over with a burp, and the rest of the tavern fell silent, everyone wanting to hear the exact answer from the head coach.

"Get ready for the parade of champions, Alexander!!" Gao Bo did not deny that the league has reached this stage, and Luton's championship is decided!!

The Luton people in the tavern raised their glasses and cheered, and this season Luton Town has given the fans so many surprises.

From the desperation at the start of the season to the ecstasy at the end of the season, the season has been just too exciting for Luton fans.

"When are you leaving Wembley?!" Alexander leaned over and asked mysteriously.

"Don't try to get my information!" Gao Bo picked up the wine glass and glanced at the round tavern owner.

"It's not a secret when you're leaving, Gao!" Alexander was a little helpless.

"That's right—" Gao Bo raised his head and drank half a glass, he didn't like the small glass in his hand now. You should change to a batch of larger cups, Alexander. ”

"That's already a tuba, high!" Alexander was a little helpless, "Do you think that everyone is like you, drinking whiskey is like cold water!" ”

"Don't make excuses for your slamming of the door anymore!" Gao Bo drank the remaining half of the cup, he stood up and patted Alexander on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow morning!!" Gao Bo said as he walked towards the door, "We'll leave tomorrow morning!! ”

"Get ready to make a big fuss at Wembley! Guys!! ”

The tavern was cheering.

Gao Bo walked out of the tavern, the weather in England in April was slowly starting to turn warmer, and the weather was not bad these days, and the cool breeze blew on the surface of the River Leigh, which meandered the city of Luton in half, and the wine was hot Gao Bo also blew a lot of spirits.

Gao Bo put on his coat and paced slowly along the river.

The current situation in the second division is very favourable for Luton!

Gao Bo thought he would be able to overtake Wycombe Rovers in March, but he didn't expect the league rivals to be in excellent form under the pressure of Luton, and they also maintained their points advantage with a wave of consecutive wins.

However, in April, Wycombe Wanderers' form began to decline, while Luton Town took the opportunity to close the gap.

Wycombe Wanderers capsized away, so that Luton can beat Wycombe Wanderers in the next round of the league, and they can pull Wycombe Wanderers, who have maintained the top position for most of the season, down to the top of the second division!!

The champion of the second division?

Perhaps the Luton fans will be quite excited about this, but for Gao Bo, he doesn't even have a little wave in his heart.

Before returning to the apartment, Gao Bo looked at the moon star in the distance and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Compared to the ambition in Gao Bo's heart... It's just a small goal!
