Chapter 196: My Players Are All Warriors

"It's over! It's over!! ”

"Luton Town beat Roma 3-1 away and now in terms of qualification, Luton Town are de facto already out of the group!!"

"Since Roma only got three points, and CSKA Sofia didn't score a point, even if Luton lost the next two rounds of the group stage, it is impossible for Roma and CSKA Sofia to surpass Luton in points!"

'Going into the Europa League as a third-tier team and then qualifying from the group stage is enough to be respected. But if you've watched Luton Town's performance in the group stage, maybe you'll expect more from them in the knockout rounds! They won both legs against a Serie A powerhouse like Roma!! Their performance in the first four rounds of the group stage was impeccable!! Rentkinson gushed.

At this time, the camera of the TV broadcast was firmly locked on Gao Bo.

"This young manager has single-handedly created this team in the lower leagues!! His side have been in the spotlight in the Europa League, they are not the runners in the group stage, they are about to reach the knockout rounds!! For the other giants in the Europa League, I'm afraid they won't meet such a team with great fighting power!! ”

Gao Bo was flushed, while his opponent Claudio Ranieri was so blue that he didn't even have to wait for the game to end.

The red-faced Gao Bo had originally planned to take the initiative to catch up with Ranieri, but as the victor, he was now in a hurry for the spring equinox.

But Ranieri didn't give him the chance to show off.

The players didn't have to celebrate long on the pitch, but when they got back to the dressing room, they were all in good hands.

To be able to beat their opponents in such circumstances is definitely a game to celebrate for the Luton players as they not only beat the mighty Roma but also qualified from the group two rounds early!

"Well done everybody!!" Gao Bo didn't stop the players from celebrating.

Progressing from the Europa League is a cause for celebration, and now for Luton, the remaining two games of the group stage will mean that they will be battling Basel for top of the group.

As for Roma, their next two games are at home to Basel and away to CSKA Sofia, and they will need to win both games before watching the match between Luton Town and Basel.

If Basel loses, Roma will have a chance to qualify – they will have the same number of points as Basel.

And if the two sides draw or Luton lose to Basel, then Roma have no chance of qualifying.

Claudio Ranieri's side are left with only a theoretical chance of qualifying.

And Gao Bo will not give up the top spot in the group to Basel - in the knockout draw, the group winner will play the group runners-up in another group, so if Luton Town win the group, they can avoid most of the strong teams.

Gao Bo didn't take long to celebrate in the dressing room because he was about to attend the post-match press conference.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he found two men in suits and leather shoes walking up.

"Coach Gao Bo!" One of them spoke.

"We are members of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee!"

Disciplinary Committee?

Facing the opponent's outstretched hand, Gao Bo also stretched out his hand: "Did the urine test after the game pick me?" ”

"Not really!" It seems that the other party did not pay any attention to Gao Bo's humor.

"There have been reports of doping in Luton Town before the game!!"

Stimulant?!!

Gao Bo's face darkened.

"We're not going to use that!!"

"Of course, but we need to investigate!" Another said.

"So... All players in the Luton squad are required to take a urine test!! ”

......

When Gao Bo walked into the press room with a gloomy face, it seemed that the reporters here also probably knew what was going on.

"Coach Gao Bo, what do you think about Luton being reported for doping?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

"I don't have any opinion, since the disciplinary committee doesn't trust my players, then let all the players go to the urine test." Gao Bo held up Mike Fen on the table, "I know that for many people, Luton's victory over Roma is an incredible thing, they don't believe in our strength, they think we must have used some other way to win!" ”

"The Disciplinary Committee decided to conduct a urine test on our entire squad without any basis, and we respect the rights of the Disciplinary Committee." Gao Bo continued, "But if there is nothing wrong with the urine test, will UEFA give us an explanation?!" ”

"But Luton's win away at Roma was an incredible thing, wasn't it?"

A journalist stood up, looking very indignant.

Gao Bo stared at the reporter and didn't speak for more than ten seconds, staring at the other party a little hairy in his heart.

"Which newspaper are you a reporter for?" Gao Bo didn't go straight back.

"Roma Sport! You can call me Perolla! ”

"Mr. Perola, do you think Luton's victory over Roma is incredible?"

"That's right!"

"Why do you think so?!"

"Because of strength!! Rome is much stronger than you! ”

"Strength? But we won 3-1! ”

"So there's definitely something wrong with this...... Perola said with a smug smile.

"Fart !!!!" Gao Bo suddenly stood up and said, startling the reporters at the scene.

"If Roma wins, then why is there any need for this game to take place? It would be nice to give Roma three points directly!! Yes, Mr. Perola!! In future matches, this model can be allowed, and the value of both sides can be compared, and it will save 90 minutes to play, so that football has become a numbers game. The star-studded Real Madrid will always be Champions League winners. Gao Bo scoffed.

"But before this game starts, Luton ......" Perola's face darkened.

"The night before the game, someone was causing trouble outside the hotel where we were staying, and my players couldn't rest for the night!" Gao Bo picked up the microphone directly from the table.

"Yes, although I don't approve of this kind of behavior, objectively speaking, it is impossible for Luton to have such a physical state in this game!!" Perola said.

Gao Bo grinned: "These people's tricks didn't work, you look disappointed... Mr. Reporter! ”

"Please don't divert from the topic! Why do Luton Town have such fitness? Do you have a reasonable explanation? ”

"Yes!"

"Listen up!"

Gao Bo smiled: "I won't tell you." ”

The English correspondent in the press room also laughed.

At this time, Gao Bo became serious.

"My team won because we had a well-organized strategy and the belief that we were going to win!"

"The most important thing is that my players... They are all warriors!! ”

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he put down the microphone and left the press conference with his head held high.
