Chapter 274: Everything is business as usual

Did Luton's players really relax?

After the game began, Gao Bo stood on the sidelines and watched carefully.

In a way, Gao Bo admits that this is his own work mistake, which may have been so smooth lately that he didn't even notice this detail.

The atmosphere at Wowws Stadium is still high, with the fans giving the team a huge amount of support from the stands and the players not showing any form that is wrong for the time being.

Hamburg's choice was also realistic, they played very conservatively on the road, retracting from the start of the game, while Luton Town, playing at home, pressed heavily to attack.

Such a situation was also expected by Gao Bo.

Although Luton Town have not yet played at home in the knockout stages of the Europa League, for most teams it is about getting the best possible result at home and then having more room to turn around on the road.

Gao Bo is also demanding of the team.

The lowest goal in this game is, of course, to win!!

From the very beginning of the game, Luton took advantage of the home advantage and launched a fierce attack on the Hamburg goal. Their tactics have not changed, they still have a simple pass up front to find a gap in the shot, and then immediately after completing the attack, they will press on the spot to get the ball back and continue to attack.

Luton's tactics are becoming more and more mature, especially after the addition of Griezmann, compared with last season, the team has a lot more ways to face dense defense, in the front of the opponent's dense defense, Griezmann's breakthrough and passing ability, and even his considerable shooting ability, can allow him to play a huge role in the front. Whether it's the tandem up front or his own shot after breaking through can create a very big threat.

Antoine Griezmann is now at the height of his career.

Griezmann is undoubtedly a talented player, but in his previous life, Griezmann always felt a little worse, let alone reaching the height of Messi and Ronaldo, in fact, even compared with his stars in the same period, such as Hazard, Bale, Neymar, and even Pogba, Griezmann did not show a significantly higher ability.

And Gao Bo believes that this is probably related to Griezmann's choice in the future, he debuted in Real Sociedad, this is a small team, Griezmann started his career in this team, and later transferred to Atletico Madrid, Simeone's tactics also sacrificed a lot of Griezmann's offensive talent, this is because Atletico Madrid is generally a team that relies on defense, defense is the cornerstone of Simeone's tactics, so Griezmann is unlikely to get as many shots in one game as Messi or Ronaldo.

And after Gao Bo brought Griezmann to Luton, Gao Bo quickly established Griezmann as the attacking core of the front court - because in Luton's lineup, Griezmann's strength is obviously a notch higher than other attacking players, and even Vardy cannot compare with Griezmann now.

Antoine Griezmann's thriving presence in Luton Town has also contributed to Griezmann's personal development, and the 18-year-old is a crucial period in his career, and if he is properly guided, his progress can be very rapid.

Looking at Griezmann's current performance, Gao Bo is more and more sure that in his previous life, Griezmann did not fully use his talents in the most critical period of his career, in Real Sociedad, and he did not get the right guidance in this critical period.

....

Antoine Griezmann has a strong presence when the team is attacking.

He first returned to the midfield to get the ball and then dribbled forward, and after attracting enough attention from the defence, he suddenly sent a through ball!

The ball passed through the gaps in Hamburg's backline and behind their defence.

Where, Vardy received the ball!

There was a loud cheer from the stands, which almost drowned out everything else in the room.

This also includes the referee's whistle.

Jamie Vardy found the ball in the back of the net and the referee had come running to warn him.

Vardy very much did not understand!

Gao Bo also spread his hands on the sidelines.

The cheers in the stands also turned into boos.

The goal was offside??

The Hamburg players gave the linesman a thumbs up, while the Luton players were, of course, quit.

"It didn't take long for Luton to send the ball into the back of the net. However, the linesman raised the flag early and Vardy's goal was invalidated! It was an offside goal! ”

Lightkinson also stood up when Jamie Vardy scored, but he quickly spotted the linesman who had raised the flag.

"From my point of view, it's really hard to tell if it's offside, but we'll see the next video replay!"

The broadcaster was quick to give a picture of Luton's goal.

The moment Griezmann passed the ball, one of Vardy's shoulders poked out slightly!

"Oh.... In the blink of a centimeter! But this goal is indeed offside!! Vardy looked very annoyed! ”

Gao Bo was also quite annoyed on the sidelines, but the ball was blown out, and there was nothing he could do, after all, he was not a referee on the field.

On the football field, the referee's full force is always the greatest!

"Jamie Vardy's goal was offside, but it also shows that Luton's attack is quite fierce!! Hamburg made a fatal mistake in the defense this time, but fortunately, the overall coordination of their back line was quite tacit, and their overall forward pressure was worthy of putting Vardy into an offside trap! Lightkinson said from the stands.

And after a brief boo from the stands at Wardwell Stadium, cheers soon rang out.

Hamburg quickly snatched the ball back to Luton, who then went on the attack!

Hamburg coach Badia is also quite nervous.

Defending the counter-attack away from home was Badia's pre-match arrangement, but just now Vardy was just a little bit close to sending the ball into the Hamburg goal!

"Step back a little further!! Don't give them space!! ”

Badia yelled on the side of the pitch!

He'd watched a lot of footage of Luton's games and eventually he came to the conclusion that Luton's counter-attacks were much more dangerous than when they were attacking in positional battles!

And to contain the opponent, you just can't give them a chance to counterattack!

It just so happened that Hamburg was also good at defensive counterattacks, so Badia took advantage of the situation and Hamburg held high the banner of defensive counterattacks away from home.

He's not afraid that Luton won't attack - even if it's a 0-0 game, Hamburg can still have an advantage when they return to Hamburg!

Badia believes that the most important thing for a young team like Luton Town is to compete with them for patience!

And Gao Bo on the sidelines also relaxed after watching the game for a while.

He thinks that the team's current performance is still very normal, and it can even be said that the state is not bad.

Although Vardy's previous goal was ruled out for offside, it at least shows that the team can create a lot of threats in attack!

Gao Bo watched from the sidelines for a while and then sat back in the coach's seat.

It is still Luton Town who are leading the attack, but it will not be easy to break down Hamburg's iron pass for a while.

Gao Bo is not in a hurry, as long as the team's condition is fine.
