Chapter 108 Arrangements for the second half
Arrangements for the second half of Chapter 1
"Matt and Adam on the sidelines have been warming up for a while, and the first half is coming to an end. It seems that Luton doesn't plan to make a substitution in the first half!" Letkinson said in the commentary booth.

Gao Bo also didn't plan to make substitutions in the first half, especially the players he planned to replace included Hassan Ali.

Hassan Ali has just played confidently during this period. If he is replaced now, the young player that Gao Bo has worked so hard to cultivate will be destroyed.
Moreover, it was Gao Bo who pushed Hassan Ali to the frontcourt and asked him to grab the ball at the feet of these Arsenal players with very good foot skills. The struggle in the frontcourt was not Hassan Ali's fault.Therefore, Gao Bo will not let the players lose confidence because of his mistakes.

Fortunately, now that Hassan Ali has changed his job duties, he has done very well.

Flexible and energetic, Hassan Ali stuck to Cesc Fabregas like nougat, so that the midfield organizer, who performed very well in the first half of the first half, basically didn't get the ball much during this period.

In the face of Arsenal's offensive, Luton's players also performed well after recycling. They showed great tenacity!

When Gao Bo was selecting players, he liked to put those players with very strong mental attributes in the starting lineup. Facts have proved that a team composed of such a group of mentally strong guys is not so easy to beat!
Wenger thought that Luton would attack in the final stage of the game, but it didn't.

This makes the French old man a little regretful, but the current form of the game is still beneficial to Arsenal, so he doesn't care.

The first half was coming to an end soon, and Arsenal didn't plan to attack Luton in the end. They tried to attack again in the last few minutes. In the end, Arsenal didn't score again, and Luton didn't seem to be able to threaten Arsenal's penalty area at all. They could only passively defend in the midfield!
Luton was able to grab the ball a few times, but he failed to counterattack. Vardy was caught in the double-team of Kolo Toure and Sylvesters and it was difficult to make a difference.

After all, the power is weak.
Luton's coaching bench and bench are all gloomy, but this does not include Gao Bo.

In fact, from Luton's several steals, Gao Bo saw the hope of scoring in the second half!
The steal success rate card now equipped has greatly increased the number of steals for Luton players, especially for players like Kanter who are already good at defense, the success rate of steals has become very high under the increase of this card!

As Van Persie pulled the ball into the midfield and turned around and shot a long shot over the crossbar, the referee blew three whistles, signaling the end of the first half.

"The first half is over!! Arsenal lead Luton 15-[-]. Luton has achieved the miracle of reaching the semi-finals in the FA Cup this season. This is the first time they have fallen behind in the FA Cup. Can they finally reverse the score? We will come back in [-] minutes!" Letkinson said while grabbing the microphone in the commentary.

Can Luton reverse it?
It's a question that even the most die-hard Luton fans dare not answer "yes".
However, the Luton fans didn't seem sad about the team's lag in the first half. When the players walked to the player tunnel and passed the stands, the Luton fans began to cheer for the players.

The expressions on the faces of the Luton players were serious, but they still raised their hands and applauded in response to the enthusiasm of the fans.

There are still a group of people in the stands watching the team.

They are Chinese journalists sitting in the media seats.

A Chinese coach led a second division team to the semi-finals of the FA Cup!

Such news detonated the domestic football world.

Who is Gao Bo?

This question makes domestic fans want to know very much. It can be said that if a media first shows Gao Bo's interview video and reveals Gao Bo's identity first, this media will be able to get unparalleled traffic!
In this Internet age, traffic is money.

So many media sent reporters, but the reporters were not able to interview Gao Bo in Luton, because Gao Bo has been busy preparing for the FA Cup semi-finals during this period, and he ordered Luton's staff to reject all interviews requested by the media.

Neither England nor China.

"Isn't he just a second-tier league coach? What's the bullshit?" A middle-aged man with eyes curled his lips while sitting in the stands, and said to a young man next to him.

They are reporters from the "Sports News" with a large circulation in China. As a result, they came to ask for an exclusive interview a few days ago, but they were directly rejected by Luton.

"You can't say that, editor Zhang. I heard that they will be promoted soon." The young man said, "It's not just luck that they reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. They eliminated Chelsea and Manchester City to reach the semi-finals! It shows that this coach is still capable."

"What level of shit..." the middle-aged man said, "I don't know about our country's football level? Can a famous coach be born in this bullshit football environment? Is it possible? Even if Luton reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, he is still a good player from England. What are you doing as a coach?"

"Xiao Liu, let me tell you, this kind of coach who is so incompetent will only be popular for three years at most!!" The middle-aged man said, "Look, once they are eliminated in this game and the heat subsides, who can remember him?"

Xiao Liu has a different opinion, because he has carefully checked Luton's information, and he knows what the team was like before Gao Bo came to Luton.But he didn't dare to argue loudly with this colleague who was a round older than him. After all, the other party was an old fritter who had worked in the newspaper office for almost 20 years, and he was a young reporter who had just joined the newspaper office for less than a year. How could he offend him.

But there is one thing he agrees with, that is, in this game, Luton basically has no chance.After being advanced by Arsenal, if you want to equalize in the second half, you must attack heavily, and aggressively attack will give Arsenal more space. With Arsenal's strength, it is not a problem to score another goal or two in the second half.

Of course, the conversation between the two reporters did not affect Gao Bo's thinking in the second half.

After comforting Hassan Ali, he announced that Adam and Matt would be replaced at the beginning of the second half. They replaced Hassan Ali and Lewis Emmanuel.

The players thought that the coach was going to attack aggressively in the second half, but it turned out that Gao Boque didn't arrange it that way.

"Look for Eb more after getting the ball on the field, this full-back has a lot of moves!" Gao Bo put his arms around Adam and explained, "Foul him!!"

Adam nodded vigorously. During this period of time, he had no chance to start again. Due to his physical fitness, it was impossible for a player who could only play half-court to be the regular main force of the team.

Gao Bo really hopes that Adam can develop his physical fitness as soon as possible, but this is not a matter of a day or two. Perhaps next season, he can slowly try to put him in the starting lineup, and try to play six or seven 10 minutes.
"We took more free kicks in the second half!! We hit them over the head!!"

Gao Bo stood up, looked around the players and said.
