Chapter 193: High Wave Swing Bus

The second half of the first half basically turned into a half-court attack and defense for Roma!

In the final minutes before the end, Roma almost launched a desperate attack, because everyone could see that Luton's fitness had reached a pole!

If Luton were allowed to survive this period, after a fifteen-minute break, I am afraid that Luton's fitness would not be the same as it is now. At least they can do it defensively.

A draw would not quench Luton's thirst because even if they get a point, it will be up to Basel and Luton Town in the final two rounds, and they will need to win against Basel.

So the Roman offensive became crazy.

In the forty-fourth minute of the game, Jeffrey jumped, but the ball flew over his head.

If he was in good shape, Jeffrey would have cleared the ball like this, but this time he actually had a top.

Fortunately, there is Saul Campbell behind him to wipe his ass.

Campbell hooked the ball with his leg and the ball went off the sideline.

Roma's touchline ball was quickly dispatched and they continued to attack.

The fourth official on the sidelines had already held up the sign.

Two minutes of stoppage time in the first half!!

"There were two minutes left in the first half, but Luton's defence was in jeopardy!! Judging by their running, their pace is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that there is a real problem with their fitness!! Lightkinson said with some concern.

"That's it!! Keep testing them!! They couldn't stand it!!! The Italian commentator chanted from the commentary seat.

The fans at the scene were also cheering for Roma's attack.

"Come on Roma !!!!"

"Kill them !!!!!"

The fans of Roma were quite excited in the stands!

Claudio Ranieri is also waving his arms desperately, their centre-backs have already pressed past half-time, and now Luton are completely pinned down in the box!!

Gao Bo's face was calm, his hands were rubbed in his trouser pockets, and his eyes were fixed on the forbidden area.

Now for Luton's players, it's all willpower that keeps them running on the pitch!!

It's almost ....

Gao Bo watched the time on the big screen of the scene.

One minute to go!!

Saul Campbell had just headed the ball over the line and Roma quickly sent a corner into the box.

Schmeichel leaped high, picked the ball in his arms and crushed it to the ground.

It's over!

Although the referee had not yet blown the whistle, Gao Bo immediately turned around and returned to the locker room!

The next 15 minutes were crucial for Luton!!

Sure enough, Schmeichel took advantage of the opportunity to wait until all the players were out of the box before getting up from the ground and then kicking the ball away.

Before the football could hit the ground, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The Roma fans were still cheering. Although Roma did not overtake the score in the first half, judging from the situation in the second half of the game, it was only a matter of time before Roma scored.

Ranieri also turned and walked into the players' tunnel, and the Roma players also walked into the players' tunnel with a hint of regret on their faces.

Compared to their opponents, Luton's players look much more embarrassed.

Before the players walked back to the locker room, they almost all held their knees in the field, greedily inhaled several large breaths of air, and let their hypoxic bodies feel a little better before entering the players' tunnel.

In Luton, there was widespread concern among the fans.

"The players are a little too fitting..."

"The second half was tough.."

"Hold on!!"

"Actually... Even if we lose, it's nothing, we can qualify as well. ”

"Just losing to Roma... I'm really unwilling!! ”

The fans were talking.

"Luton Town has a major physical crisis right now, although they survived the first half, but in the second half, with their current physical condition, I'm afraid it's really difficult to hold on!" Lightkinson said.

"I'm afraid Luton is really bad luck in this game, with such a physical condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the attack of Roma for long." Redknapp shook his head.

'Basel are already 4-0 up at home and if Luton lose this game, they will need to win the next two rounds of games first to secure a win against CSKA Sofia and then not lose against Basel to qualify. Rentkinson is already analysing Luton's qualification.

In Rome's dressing room at this time, Ranieri was waving his fists.

"Attack!! Press up and attack!! ”

"Did you see what they just did? They are out of fitness!! We continue to press up and attack, destroy them with our attacks!! Don't give them a chance to breathe!!! ”

Ranieri's words resonated with the Roma players, who also chanted collectively after Ranieri spoke.

In the other dressing room, the atmosphere was a little more solemn.

At this point in the game, Gao Bo finally made up his mind.

He returned to the locker room early for the simple purpose of that.

He used the blue card's voucher.

[Match Card (Blue): Increases the physical fitness of the whole team by 15% during the match!] 】

This is a physical strength card, and Gao Bo didn't want to use the precious blue card at this time, because he felt that there might be more situations in the future that needed to use the card for emergencies.

But now, Gao Bo can't care about so much.

Compared to losing this game and giving the team a serious blow to morale, it is not a big deal to use a blue card!

Gao Bo's eyes are full of persistence in victory!!

When the players returned to the dressing room, they saw Gao Bo still smiling confidently.

"I'm very happy with the way everyone played in the first half!" Gao Bo said.

'We didn't concede a second goal, which means we had a lot of room to adjust in the second half. Gao Bo turned the tactical board around.

"In the second half we changed formations, 433!" Gao Bo said: "Kevin closes a little bit in the middle, Danny also stands a little to the left in the middle, and we have an inverted triangle position in the midfield!" ”

On the tactical board, N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater, Kevin Keane form an inverted triangle.

Adam was on the front line.

From 442 to 433!

"But.... We didn't turn 433 to attack... It's about defense!! ”

'We retreated on all three lines and the three players in midfield looked out for space in the middle, Adam!! Anthony!! You two have to watch out for the defense on the wing!! Jamie also returned !! ”

Gao Bo waved his arm: "Once there is a chance to counterattack!! Hurry up on both sides!! Rush up in the middle lane too!! And the midfielder..."Gao Bo looked at Kante and the others, "don't press it easily! ”

"Shrink the middle defense!! Save energy!! ”

"Roma will definitely come up in the second half, our tactics in the second half were very simple, break the ball and then counter-attack !!"

Gao Bo said calmly.

He was not impassioned at this point, but the players felt an inexplicable power from his words.

As if if they did, they would have won.

Gao Bo's self-confidence is not without reason.

The players' physical fitness does have some problems, but if they shrink back to the penalty area and stand in the penalty area to defend, the physical consumption will be much smaller than the pressing in the front court, coupled with the effect of the physical fitness card, the players' physical fitness should not be too much of a problem to survive the second half.

The remaining two card combinations are set up entirely to match the defensive counterattack.

Steal card plus counterattack card!

Gao Bo has now completely given up pressing in the front court, and has set up a bus in the middle and back!
