Chapter 129 The smell of gunpowder
Chapter 125 The Smell of Gunpowder

The commentators on the scene were all stunned.

Although this free kick position is indeed very suitable for direct shots, no one would have expected that a goal could be scored just this time?
"The ball scored?!" Letkinson was also dumbfounded. He guessed several possible scenarios in this game, but he never thought that Luton scored a goal so soon!

Letkinson looked towards the big screen at the scene.

33 minutes [-] seconds
"2 minutes!! It only took 2 minutes!! Luton scored a goal!!!" Letkinson finally came back to it. In any case, Luton has also taken the lead now.

"Now Benitez's team is in trouble. They conceded the ball just after the game started!! This is really unbelievable!!! Can Luton continue to create miracles!!"

"I don't know if they can do this, now everything depends on whether Liverpool can come up with countermeasures to respond!!"

Has Liverpool responded?

Benitez stood on the sidelines, frowning.

It can be said that Luton's goal was completely unexpected, a free kick, Kevin Keane took the penalty very beautifully! !
The football went straight to the dead end, and Reina had nothing to do!
But now is not the time to admire the opponent's beautiful free kick!

Liverpool are behind!

Benitez breathed a sigh of relief. If there is any good news, it is that the goal was too early, and there is still a lot of time left for Liverpool.

The Luton players were still celebrating, and Gao Bo was already sorting out his crumpled suit from celebrating with the coaching staff.

Gao Bo is very proud now.

Kevin Keane's direct free kick seems to be an accident, but the tactical thinking set by Gao Bo is not an accident.

Letting Adam play is to use his speed and dribbling ability to go to the frontcourt to disrupt Liverpool's defense, so that Luton has a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Making set pieces is of course one of them.

Gao Bo knew that Luton might not have a chance to counterattack if it was just defense. Liverpool's three midfielders and three strikers were very powerful. If these creative stars slowly dismantled Luton's defense, it would be very difficult for Luton. Maybe if he was lucky, he would be able to defend zero to zero—but Gao Bo didn't want to pin his hopes on luck!
What Gao Bo worried about most was that after Liverpool played with momentum, they would completely take over the game, press Luton to attack, and let Liverpool attack in a state of attack. At that time, Luton would be powerless to fight back.

That's why Gao Bo let the team perform on the offensive end in the opening stage, so as to wear off Liverpool's opening spirit.

Now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good!
Gao Bo looked at the Liverpool players who looked like frost-beaten eggplants, and he felt a little relieved. The loss of the ball in the opening game was a bit of a blow to Liverpool. Now at this stage, Gao Bo doesn't have to worry about problems with the defense for the time being!
Perhaps the formation can be adjusted a little bit.
Gao Bo rubbed his chin, and then made up his mind. He kept waving his right hand in the air, like chasing ducks, signaling Luton's formation premise!
"Never fear confrontation!!!"

Thinking of what Gao Bo said to him, Adam almost gritted his teeth and rushed towards Albeloa who was holding the ball!
Arbeloa just received the ball, he didn't expect Adam's speed to be so fast, he wanted to turn around and use his body to separate the ball from Adam!

But at this moment, the Spaniards saw the soft lights of the Rainbow Bridge.

Gritting his teeth, Adam rushed forward, with a sliding tackle against the turf, while shoveling the ball, he also knocked the Liverpool star to the ground!
After Adam shoveled the ball away, he immediately got up and caught up with the ball. Just as he was about to take the ball to the penalty area, the referee's whistle sounded.

foul! !
Adam hugged the football and signaled loudly that he had shoveled the ball!

But the referee ignored him!
"Foul!! This is a bad foul!! This kid should be sent off!!!" Benitez was very angry on the sidelines.

He saw Adam's tackle very clearly. He really did tackle the ball. If the referee didn't call a foul, Adam would have dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Luton used very tough physical confrontation to limit Liverpool's offense in the past few minutes.

Counting this time when Adam shoveled Arbeloa, several Liverpool players on the field have already been overturned by Luton.

The match seemed to turn into a wrestling fight.

But what makes Benitez angry is that up to now, the referee has not issued a yellow card!
None! !
Gao Bo looked at the angry Benitez not far away, and he shouted over there: "What are you talking about? Are you blind? This is a standard tackle!! This should not be a foul at all!!"

The two head coaches fought, and after Arbeloa got up on the field, he also rushed towards Adam angrily.

There was chaos on and off the field.

The fourth official had a big head, and he separated the two angry coaches, and the referee on the field was also a little big.

Arbeloa pushed Adam to the ground directly, then Kevin Keane came up to give his teammates a head start, and then other Luton players rushed up and surrounded Arbeloa.

Liverpool's players naturally couldn't let their teammates suffer, and they also rushed forward.

For a while, the referee was one head and two big, and finally separated the two, and another player on the other side was the best.

The field was full of gunpowder for a while.

Gao Bo didn't reply after being scolded by the fourth official, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The situation on the court is his favorite.

The best Liverpool players are obsessed with fighting against Luton players, and then the game time drags on like this.

Anyway, Luton is leading now.

Benitez also knows that the rhythm is not right now. Liverpool seems to have lost their attention to the game. Conceding the ball early caused their mentality to fluctuate, and Benitez was keenly aware of this.

They did it on purpose! !
Benitez figured it out soon after he calmed down.

The opponent is deliberately using such a big move to ignite the fire. It is best to let Liverpool have a few players who are not calm, just like Arbeloa.
At this time, the referee finally settled the players on both sides of the field, and the conflict temporarily subsided.

Arbeloa and Adam both received a yellow card.
This made Gao Bo very upset. He muttered in his mouth, making the fourth official stare at him all the time.

If the fourth official heard that Gao Bo made a bad word, he was ready to let the referee come over.But the fourth official could not understand Chinese, and the language barrier allowed Gao Bo to escape punishment.
Benitez on the other side spread his hands and turned to complain to his assistant.

In fact, he didn't have any clean words, but fortunately, Gao Bo helped him attract the firepower, otherwise he would be targeted by the fourth official.

But Benitez still knew the situation, and he called Gerrard over.

"Focus on the game! Don't fall for their tricks!"

Gerrard nodded frequently, and he also knew what was most important to Liverpool now.

Gerrard came on and calmed down the emotional Arbeloa.

"Calm down! Calm down!!"

"We need to attack!!"

As the captain, sometimes Gerrard also needs to act as a firefighter.
