Chapter 118 Reaching the top of the list
Chapter 114 Reaching the Top

Knowing the opponent in the final reassures Gao Bo.

How to deal with Liverpool?Gao Bo doesn't have time to think about this matter yet, because the most critical game in the league will soon follow.

On April 23, in the No.40 third round of the Second Division, Luton will face Wycombe Wanderers at home!

Luton fans and players are quite confident in this game, even Gao Bo is full of confidence.

However, the result of the first half of the game made Gao Bo's face darken.

At the last moment of the first half, Wycombe Wanderers broke through the goal handled by Claude with a direct free kick. They led Luton [-]-[-] in the away game!

Such a result made the players of Wycombe Wanderers ecstatic. Wycombe's manager Peter Taylor even rushed onto the pitch to celebrate and was shown a yellow card.
During the intermission, Gao Bo had a gloomy face: "Do you think we won the league championship?"

"We haven't got anything now!!! If we play casually according to the first half, the league champion?! The league champion will slip away from your eyes!!"

Gao Bo almost slapped the table and shouted.

The relief on the players' faces is also gone. Although Wycombe is the top team in the Second Division, the Luton players don't take them seriously-after all, they have defeated several Premier League teams, let alone the British Championship.

After being sprayed by Gao Bo during the intermission, the players also realized that if they lose this game, the league champion they have won may really fly away.
After the players walked out of the locker room with serious expressions, John came over and said, "The schedule is too intensive recently, and the players may have some physical problems."

Gao Bo nodded: "I know this, John, but even if you are a little tired, you shouldn't show such an attitude when facing Wycombe. In the next league, we can't lose a game!"

John also nodded. Even if he won the Wycombe Wanderers, Luton was only one point ahead of the opponent, and it was not time to relax.

"Fortunately, the FA Cup match is on May [-]th, and we will have ten full days to prepare."

Gao Bo nodded. If Luton had any advantage in the FA Cup final, it would be that the last round of the second division was on May 30th, and at that time the Premier League was still in full swing, and Liverpool would still be fighting for their league championship. If they keep the hope of winning the league championship, they will definitely go all out in this game.

Compared with Luton, the denser Liverpool's schedule, the more tired their players will be, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Luton.

However, in the next ten days, Gao Bo did not intend to focus on preparing for the match against Liverpool. Gao Bo, the champion of the Second Division, valued it very much. He would never allow this championship to be left behind!
So for the next period of time, Gao Bo asked the whole team to temporarily forget about the FA Cup, and focus on the upcoming games of the Second Division!

Just at the beginning of the second half, Luton launched a crazy attack on Wycombe Wanderers!

The Wycombe Wanderers are also well prepared for their away defense. In fact, their head coach Peter Taylor made major adjustments to Wycombe's formation in this game.

Five defenders, four defensive midfielders, and only one fast forward in front!

This is a complete defensive counterattack. It completely gave up the midfield and put two tight lines of defense in the penalty area, allowing Luton to continue to besiege from the outside.

Under this kind of intensive defense, Luton is actually not good at attacking this kind of positional warfare.

Is there a way to win the offensive position?
Long-range shots may be a solution, but in addition to asking the team to strengthen long-range shots, Gao Bo also plans to let Adam play and increase dribbling breakthroughs to create threats.

In the 60th minute of the game, Gao Bo replaced Adam and Lewis, and the team's formation became 433. Kevin Keane shrank to the middle, forming a double midfield with Drinkwater and Kanter, while Adam pushed to the front line, forming a three-forward with Vardy and Charlie Austin.

Adam's playing disrupted the Wycombe Wanderers' defensive formation to a great extent. Faced with Adam's dribbling breakthrough on the wing, they had to frequently shift their formation to the left.

But the real ultimate move is not on Adam's side.

In the 609th minute of game No. [-], when the Wycombe Wanderers' formation moved closer to Adam's attacking side, Drinkwater moved the ball laterally from the left to the right.

Kevin Keane shoots in an open situation!

The football passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area, hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!

One to one! !Luton equalized the score!
This score obviously did not satisfy Luton, and they continued to attack in the next time.

Wycombe-Wanderers fans are a little nervous. As Luton's offensive continues to strengthen, their defense has also begun to frequently appear in danger.

In the 706th minute of the game, Charlie Austin kicked his toe after receiving a pass in the penalty area. The football hit the post and went out of the baseline, almost helping the team equalize.

This ball startled the fans of Wycombe Wanderers, but just when they were rejoicing, Luton's attack came again.

Adam faked past the defender on the left and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passing the ball into the penalty area when he was near the baseline.

Vardy's header made the goalkeeper save, but then Charlie Austin's follow-up shot made the opponent have nothing to do.

After the goal, Charlie Austin was very excited. His goal helped the team overtake the score.

If the victory is maintained until the end of the game, Luton can overtake the Wycombe Wanderers and reach the top of the standings!

From minus [-] points at the beginning of the season to now helping the team in the standings!
Luton can be said to have created a jaw-dropping record, because it means that if they did not deduct points, they are now ahead of No.2 by [-] points! !

What a horrible difference!Luton's performance is enough to show that they are definitely not a team of the second division.

"They have at least reached the strength of the mid-level teams in the Premier League!!" Letkinson said during the TV broadcast.

Different people have different interpretations of Luton's strength, and the miracles created by this team this season are destined to become a topic that people talk about.

When Luton overtook the score, Wycombe Wanderers had nothing to do.

They wanted to counterattack in the final stage of the game, but they were trapped by their own strength. Instead, Luton scored another goal through a counterattack.

When Adam White dribbled past the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal, Worth Road was in a carnival!
Fans jumped in the stands, taking the whole stadium to its knees.

Gao Bo, who was applauding the performance of the players, was also worried that this old stadium would collapse the stands because the fans were too crazy
Gao Bo's worries were unnecessary. The stands were still safe and sound until the end of the game, but the atmosphere of the stadium reached its peak at this moment!

Luton defeated the Wycombe Wanderers, and they now overtook their opponents and topped the standings!
