Chapter 286: First Ball!

"Audience friends!! Welcome to the second leg of the 2009-2010 Europa League semi-finals! Luton Town away at Hamburg!! ”

Sky Sports, Lightkinson's voice came out of the TV!

Players from both sides have also started to line up from the players' tunnel!

'The first leg was at the Wolls Stadium, Luton Town lost 2-1 at home, and now they're away from home, so it's going to be a tough game for them!!'

"And there was news of personnel turmoil at the top of Luton Town before the game, which may not be good news for Luton Town either!! Now, for Gao Bo's team, how can this difficulty be overcome? ”

Letkinson spoke eloquently, and the Luton fans who were watching the game were worried.

At such a critical time, the team suddenly has this kind of thing, and fans will inevitably be worried, especially when the team is struggling.

Playing away, can Luton play form on the road?

Luton fans also have a vague expectation in their worries.

At this time, as far away as China, fans also got up in the early hours of the morning to watch this Europa League match.

Yesterday's Champions League semi-finals didn't get as much attention as this one.

However, this week's Champions League fixture was indeed a highlight, with Jose Mourinho's side losing 1-0 away from home after leading Barcelona 3-1 in the first leg, but they still reached the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, easily defeated Lyon 3-0 away to reach the final.

Inter Milan and Bayern Munich meet in the Champions League final.

And who will be the two teams in the Europa League final this season?

Most fans in China will probably be more interested in this question!

Because most fans hope that Luton can reach the final.

Hamburg doesn't have many fans in the country.

And the ratings of this game in China have also hit a new high!

Fans are eagerly awaiting a comeback away from home.

"It's a crucial game for Luton Town!!" The voice of He Hongfa, the narrator of Guangti, came from the TV.

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams first!"

"First of all, the home team Hamburg, who continued to use the same line-up they had when they played Luton Town in the last leg, and that is their starting line-up! Goalkeeper Rost! Right wing-back Demer, centre-back combination of Rozenar and Mathiesen, left-back Boateng, midfielders Troshowski, Yarolim, Ze Roberto, Elia, and forward combination of Petritsch and Borg! Hamburg is still a 442 formation! ”

"On the Luton side, goalkeeper Schmeichel, right-back on the back line is the start of the teenager Carl Jenkinson today, compared to Mitchell Piran, Jenkinson's attacking ability will be stronger, and the central defender is still Saul Campbell and Dutch teenager Jeffrey, the left wing-back is Alex Sandro, in the midfield, Kante, Drinkwater, Kevin Keane This is Luton's fixed midfield starter, and whether Adam plays in midfield or forward depends on Luton's formation in this game. Jamie Vardy and Antoine Griezmann also started! ”

After He Hongfa finished speaking, the players on both sides had already completed a series of ceremonies before the game.

At this time, the lens of the TV locked on Gao Bo.

"Alas... Little Bobo has grown so big! ”

In Chen's home, the old couple Chen watched the game with a girl in her twenties with long ponytail.

At this time, she was pointing at the TV and yelling.

"What an adult!! There is no right shape!! ”

Mrs. Chen gently patted the girl's back.

"Oh, Mom....... I haven't seen it in seven or eight years..."

"Okay, okay, Guoguo, stop arguing, the game is about to start!!"

Chen Lao stared at the TV and said.

At this point, the camera moved back to the field, and the players on both sides were already standing in their respective positions, waiting for the game to begin.

Hamburg striker Petritsch stepped on the ball in the center circle and it looked like Hamburg had kicked off the first half!

After checking the time with the fourth official on the sidelines, the referee blew the whistle and pointed in the direction of the attack with both hands!

The competition has officially begun!!

The players in Hamburg looked relaxed.

After all, they are now the leading side, without any baggage.

Although their head coach Badia had been emphasising defensive matters before the game, making them pay special attention to Luton's attack.

But that doesn't mean they just give the ball to Luton when they have it and wait for the opposition to attack.

They attack when they have the ball.

Although Hamburg played defensive counter-attack, it was not conservative to the extent that they did not even dare to attack.

After the opening, Hamburg quickly played the ball to the wing with a long ball.

After seeing Luton's start, Badia sent the Hamburg players on the left to attack – as it happened to be the youngster Jenkinson's defensive zone.

Sure enough, Jenkinson was inexperienced defending, and striker Borg quickly broke through on his flank before passing the ball into the box.

The ball landed in the box and was cleared by Saul Campbell's header.

Ze Roberto, who scored the world wave in the last round, made another kick on the perimeter.

The Brazilian midfielder's footwork was remarkable, and this time the volley was once again low, but the ball hit Kevin Keane on the back and out of the line.

Corner kick in Hamburg!

"Just one minute into the game, Hamburg had a shot on goal, a corner!! The attacking momentum at the start of their game looked very good!! Luton have to be careful!! ”

As Lightkinson spoke, Hamburg's corner kick was served.

Schmeichel leaps high to get the ball off and he's ready to launch a quick attack.

However, Hamburg also looked very vigilant, and they quickly stepped back to prevent Luton from counter-attacking quickly!

Seeing that there was no chance to counter-attack, Schmeichel was not in a hurry, he held the ball and waited until all the players were out of the box before handing it to Jeffrey.

The Hamburg players didn't press it up, they quickly retreated to their own half, completely defensive and counter-attacking!

"If the offense fails, Hamburg will go back to defense immediately! Today's strategy is very simple, it is a resolute defensive counterattack! If they can score the first goal, then the game will be 100 per cent!! ”

The German commentators were very appreciative of Hamburg's tactics.

It's very practical!

At this point, Luton's attack also came up.

With a succession of passes from the back, the ball was quickly passed to the front.

Gao Bo emphasized before the game that the football must be controlled on the ground and cannot easily pass the ball into the air!

Matt was on the bench and Gobo would send him up for a header if necessary, but not now!

Now Luton need control!

Antoine Griezmann won the ball on the right and played it to the middle.

Jamie Vardy stepped back to catch the ball and he slid a ball back to Kevin Keane, while Antoine Griezmann was also cruising down the middle.

Kevin Keane took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball into the middle.

Griezmann ran up and pushed directly!

The football is stuffed to the left!!

On the left side, Adam came up with the ball and went to the bottom line as soon as he was smooth!

At this time, the Hamburg defence was concerned about Antoine Griezmann and Jamie Vardy, as everyone knew that these would be the two main points of attack for Luton.

At this time, right-back Demer and central defender Rozenar were also holding off Adam.

It looks like Luton's attacking points are all pinched!

At this time, Adam suddenly passed the ball diagonally back to the gap on the left side of the penalty area!!

The pass was a complete surprise to the Hamburg players, as Jamie Vardy was in the middle and Antoine Griezmann was pulling on the right.

And who is in this area?

"Drinkwater !!!!!"

The commentators yelled!!

Drinkwater, who rushed to the ribs, completely disrupted Hamburg's defensive rhythm, because in general, Luton's offensive tactics are very conservative, the three midfielders in addition to passing and distributing the ball, the biggest role is the defense of the midfield, and the contribution of the attacking midfielders is mostly reflected in the long-range shot - Kevin Keane has a long-range shot, Drinkwater's long-range shot is also good, and Kante can occasionally score a long-range goal or two!

Drinkwater, who rushed to the penalty area, did not hesitate in the slightest!

Gao Bo emphasized countless times before the game, when there is a chance to shoot, never hesitate!

So Drinkwater rushed up and shot straight with his right foot!

Bang!!

The loud sound almost made the hearts of Hamburg fans stop with fright.

The Hamburg players didn't expect Drinkwater to shoot so resolutely either!

Rozenar slotted up and tried to block Drinkwater's shot.

But he didn't touch the football!

The soccer ball went straight to the top right corner of the soccer ball!

This moment. Time seems to have stopped!

The only thing goalkeeper Rost could do was stare at the ball spinning in his net.

All Hamburg fans were dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the spinning football in the goal...

Ball... The ball went in?!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！”

Letkinson roared!!

This roar also ignited the passion of the Luton fans!

The whole city was boiling!!

"Hooray!!!!"

The fans of Luton, who were unable to make it to the away stadium, raised their glasses in front of every TV screen and chanted!
