Chapter 268 Leading
On April [-]th, Worth Road Stadium, the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals!
Luton v Wolfsburg at home! !
Worth Road Stadium was full of seats, and the atmosphere of the stadium had reached its peak before the players from both sides came out.
The fans held various slogans and waved flags, waiting for the start of the game.
Luton fans are undoubtedly excited, because after this game, they will reach the semi-finals of the Europa League-no fan will think that Luton will lose!They have absolute confidence in Gao Bo and the players.
And more importantly, if Luton can go one step further, then they will reach the Europa League final in a historic way!
The champion of the Europa League is also the European champion! ! !
"WE WANT EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!!!"
Before the game started, a young Luton fan held up a slogan. On this piece of cardboard, the slogan written with a black marker is particularly eye-catching!
"This is Luton's ambition!! Can they perform miracles???"
Letkinson appeared in the commentary in the stands, and next to him was still the famous English football star Redknapp!
"As long as they get to the semi-finals and go further! That's the final!! Anything can happen in the final!!!" Redknapp said.
"In fact, the biggest test is in the semi-finals!! Luton will face the biggest test in the semi-finals. As a dark horse, can they be black to the end!!"
Letkinson didn't seem to talk much about this game, perhaps because this game has not had much suspense.
Luton leads the opponent by two goal difference, and there are four away goals. With such a big advantage, how could Luton lose?
So before the start of this game, the English media generally believed that this was a game with no suspense.
The media in Germany, on the other hand, encouraged Wolfsburg for several days in a row.
".In any case, Luton's basic game is only a third-tier team. Although they seem to have a considerable advantage now, if you analyze it carefully, Wolfsburg is not without the possibility of advancing. They lost to Luton [-]-[-] at home, but let's look at Wolfsburg's recent game situation-they always win a big loss after a big victory! This frequency of winning and losing may definitely be good news for the fans of Wolfsburg!" "Deutsches Sport" wrote in the newspaper.
Costner also did not give up.
"Our goal is to beat them by more than three goals!!!"
Costner emphasized in the locker room.
At this time in the locker room of the home team, Gao Bo is also doing the final pre-match mobilization.
"The only thing I need to emphasize is, don't underestimate the enemy!! Don't be fooled by this score!!" Gao Bo emphasized.
"They just need to be three goals ahead of us to go through. Is three goals a big lead?"
"It does look good at first glance, but what about nine 10 minutes?"
"If we are reversed, I am afraid this game will become the most shameful scene in your career!"
"So!! Don't take it lightly!! Focus!!! Give it your all!! Beat them at home!!!"
Gao Bo waved his fist and roared.
At the start of the game, Wolfsburg aggressively pressed the attack.
This is actually not surprising, it is something that everyone can expect.
In Wolfsburg's current situation, the only way left is to attack wildly!
Of course Gao Bo also knew this, so Luton was ready to defend from the beginning.
Hassan Ali replaced Adam in the starting lineup, which was an adjustment made to strengthen the defense in midfield.
The distance between the defenders is very close, and the two midfielders are still participating in the defense on the wing, which also makes it almost difficult for Wolfsburg to open the gap in attack.
"Although Wolfsburg is attacking now, facing Luton's defense, it is difficult for Wolfsburg to develop the ball to the frontcourt!"
"Wolfsburg's ball-handling players are still under a lot of pressure. Luton's defense is very flexible. They don't just put iron barrels in the backcourt. Even if Wolfsburg passes the ball back to the backcourt, Luton's players will quickly press up and press Wolfsburg's ball-handling players!" Redknapp said.
"Gao Bo's team has an obvious characteristic, that is, whether they are attacking or defending, they will strictly maintain a good distance between the three lines, close three-line coordination and overall movement discipline. These things are the tactical characteristics that Gao Bo established in Luton with distinctive personal characteristics!"
On the court, Wolfsburg attacked with the ball but did not pose a threat, and the pace of the game on the court was not fast.So the two commentators temporarily put the game behind them.
Wolfsburg was really aggressive at the beginning of the game, but they didn't create much threat.
They wanted to create crosses from the wing, but Luton's players were so tight that they couldn't find a chance to kick.
Wolfsburg tried hard to speed up the pace of the game, but found that they could not get rid of Luton players' close marking no matter what.
The game situation passed 10 minutes slowly in this rhythm.
In the 11th minute of the game, Dzeko returned to the midfield to take the ball. Misimimovic passed the ball to Dzeko, and then pulled the side himself, trying to take away some defensive players.
Geoffrey followed closely from the center back position, and it was even the left back Sandro went to fill his position, and Hassan Ali reclaimed the left back position.
Luton's players also have a strong sense of filling each other's defenses.
Dzeko tried to turn around, he leaned back, and then forced the ball to turn around.
Dzeko did complete the turn, but he missed the ball!
Just as he turned around, Kanter rushed up and broke the ball away! !
"Luton's Counterattack!!!"
The two of Letkinson, who were still chatting, cheered up immediately! !
Since Wolfsburg was pressing very high, Kanter simply took the ball forward after stealing the ball. After attracting the attention of Wolfsburg's midfielder Josue, he passed the ball to Griezmann! !
Griezmann didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly behind the Wolfsburg defense in the diagonal direction, and then he continued to accelerate forward!
Vardy rushed out from the back line! !
"Vardy has the ball!!! It's almost a one-handed game!!!"
Vardy took the ball forward and dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
The central defender Barzagli followed very closely. Vardy's main foot is his right foot, and at this time he is on the left side of the penalty area. If he shoots with his left foot, Vardy is not very sure.
But Luton's counterattack is not just Vardy!
Vardy raised his left foot and made a volley! !
Goalkeeper Lenz guarded the near post and blocked Vardy's shot line!
However, Vardy was just a fake move this time. After he dropped his left foot, he suddenly took another step forward!
This allowed Vardy to find the way to pass the ball, and he swept the ball to the center with his left foot! !
Griezmann has rushed up! !
Another central defender, Madron, did not keep up with Griezmann!
Griezmann pushed the arch of his right foot and the football flew into the empty goal!
One to zero!
Luton lead at home!
