Chapter 177: Ambition and High Guidance

Rome trains on a football pitch on the outskirts of London – as it is difficult for Luton to provide them with a slightly better training base.

Ranieri looked at Rome's recent situation with some concern.

Totti is injured!

This is very bad news for Roma, as Totti underwent meniscus surgery on his right knee a few days ago, and the Roma striker, who has scored sixteen goals in his last twelve games, will now be out for at least twenty days, and for Ranieri, he can only find a perfect combination among Roma's existing attacking options, Vucinic, Baptista, Okaka and Menes.

Roma have been in poor form lately, losing 2-1 at AC Milan and then 1-0 at home to Livorno. Totti's lack of attacking strength in Totti's absence was evident.

Ranieri's reliant Montenegrin striker Vucinic has squandered countless chances in the game, and the Montenegrin striker has yet to score in the league this season.

Even before Roma left for England, the Roma media began to discuss whether Ranieri would put Vucinic on the bench in this game and let other attacking players try it in the middle.

This game is a crucial battle for Roma, with winning or losing a direct impact on the rest of the group.

In the unlikely event that Roma lose, it will be difficult for them to qualify from the group, and even a draw would be much better than a straight loss.

However, the Roma players still looked relaxed, and the Roma players often burst into laughter on the training ground.

Beat Luton?

Even if Roma have not been in good form lately, the players won't think that goal is how difficult it is.

Even though Luton Town have won so many games, they even beat Chelsea last season. Arsenal, Liverpool and other giants, but in people's impressions, Luton is still more associated with words like "grassroots team" and "dark horse".

In the minds of Roma's players, Hengzhu is just a third-tier team, and as long as they get serious, won't beating Luton Town be a good deal?

The group stage of the Europa League is just the first game, but the Roma side is not ready, and in the end, the group leader of this group naturally belongs to the Roma team.

In terms of strength, the Serie A giants Roma are of course the first place in this group!

Ranieri is acutely aware of the mentality of his team.

Fame can be a big influence, and even though Luton Town have won two straight games in the group stage to get six points, the first feeling of Roma players is that Luton Town is just a third-tier underdog.

He knows that if Roma's players play with such a mentality, maybe Roma will follow in the footsteps of the big teams in the Premier League - Luton Town is definitely not a team to be underestimated, and fame can only represent the past, not the current strength!

In the afternoon training, Ranieri simply gathered his players together and watched Luton Town in a conference room.

Here's footage of Luton beating Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and even their draw with Manchester United this season.

'I know how people feel about Luton Town right now and to be honest, when I first heard the name of this team, I felt the same way you did. Ranieri spread his hands, "It's just a small team, nothing to pay attention to. ”

"But if we still think like that now, then we are not far from failure."

Ranieri held out a finger.

"Chelsea! Arsenal! Liverpool! Manchester United!!! ”

"Do you think we're sure we'll win if we play against these teams?"

Ranieri's words made the faces of the Roma players also solemn, these teams are all strong teams in the Premier League, Ranieri asked them if they were sure of winning, in fact, they took care of the face of the Roma players - with the current strength of Rome, these teams are going to be at a disadvantage.

On paper, Roma are a far cry from these teams.

'Let's take a look, here's a video of Luton beating these teams.' Ranieri motioned for his assistant to turn on the television.

"If it may be good luck to beat a strong team, then it is not good luck to beat so many strong teams in a row!" Ranieri propped his hands on the seat, and through the frame of the silver-rimmed eyes, the tinker's eyes were blazing!

"That means they really have the strength !!"

On the TV screen, Luton's goal was edited, and while Ranieri's voice was matched, the Roma players gradually became solemn.

Counterpart.... It's really hard to deal with.

......

Ranieri was using this method to remove the Roman idea of underestimating the enemy, while Gobo did not have such troubles.

Luton's players know how difficult it is to win against those strong teams, and a side in the English First Division who are underdog against Roma? I'm afraid I'll laugh off my big teeth when I say this.

Luton Town are also preparing for this game in earnest, and Gao Bo is now more interested in the Europa League.

Because just before the match against Roma began, the football card system suddenly swiped out a task.

"The road to the Europa League!!"

When Gao Bo saw this task, he burst into tears, and finally had a new mission. Otherwise, just relying on the experience of one game at a time, this upgrade will be in the year of the monkey.

"It's never before you can lead a third-tier team to the Europa League, and it's incredibly difficult, but when you succeed, it's sweet!"

"Mission Goal: Win the Europa League!"

"Mission Reward: An Orange Card Ticket! Fifteen thousand XP! ”

Gao Bo frowned a little when he saw this task reward.

That's it?

Only 15,000 experience rewards.... This system is too picky...

However, Gao Bo originally planned to fight in the Europa League, so he didn't have too much beak for this task reward, even if there was an orange card, it was very good, and the effect of the blue card was very good.

Win the Europa League!

This is to make a name for yourself in European and even world football!

Gobo remembered another young manager, Villas-Boas, a disciple of Mourinho who was only favored by the big clubs after leading the team to win the Europa League.

However, Villas-Boas is leading Porto, while Gobo is leading Luton!

The two teams are completely unequal in terms of rank.

Luton Town won the Europa League, which is the real shock to the whole European football!!

That's where Gao Bo's ambition lies.
