Chapter 163 Concise Offense
"The ball went in!?"

Not to mention the Bulgarians, even Letkinson was taken aback for a moment, and he instinctively checked the time.

"54 seconds?"

Letkinson was a little shocked to say this number.

"Since I checked the time after the goal, the time of the goal was a few seconds earlier than this time, about 50 seconds!!"

Sure enough, the replay of the goal began to play on the TV screen.

"50 seconds!! Opening 50 seconds!! Luton scored a goal!! This is a fantastic start! Before the game started, everyone was thinking about what Luton's first Europa League game would be like, but no one thought that Luton gave their fans a big surprise just after the game started!! Griezmann scored! This is the first goal of the game, and it is also the first European goal in Luton's history!!" Letkinson spoke very fast, and he paused for a while, and then Continued: "This goal fully embodies the characteristics of Gao Bo's team. They are very good at seizing opportunities for offensive and defensive transitions, continuous vertical passes, Adam's cross is actually not very good, but then Kevin Keane's handling on the right and Griezmann's flexible and agile movement created this beautiful goal!"

"The CSKA Sofia goalkeeper was almost unresponsive at the moment when Griezmann took a shot. He could only watch the football go into the net! Beautiful!! One to zero!!! Luton took the lead!!"

As England's commentator, Letkinson certainly supported Luton at this time.

Griezmann was also very excited after scoring the goal. This is the Europa League, a goal in the European competition!
Griezmann ran to the sidelines with his arms outstretched.

Gao Bo was still applauding. He was applauding for the team's goal. This is a typical Luton goal, simple and fast!One blow kills!
When he watched Griezmann run towards him, Gao Bo also laughed and opened his arms.

Griezmann crashed headlong into Kobo's arms.

"Thank you! Boss!!!" Griezmann yelled in Gao Bo's ear, "This is the Europa League!!! I love the feeling of scoring goals on this field!!"

"You are the best player on the field!!"

Gao Bo patted Griezmann on the back and said, this is not just to encourage the players, Gao Bo really thinks so.

Griezmann was originally a very talented player. Now under Gao Bo, if Griezmann has been following Gao Bo, Gao Bo is even sure to make Griezmann the number one star on the planet!

With its own strength plus the increase of the card, such an improvement is exciting enough just to think about it!

The rest of Luton's players also rushed over, and they huddled together on the sidelines.

On the other side, Mr. Penev, the head coach of CSKA Sofia, was frowning.

Have you underestimated each other?

Or is it just luck?

Penev is not sure, because the total time the two sides have played against each other is only more than 50 seconds. What can be seen in these 50 seconds?

Nothing can be seen, the only thing that is certain is that the opponent's ability to seize opportunities is too strong!With just one chance, a goal was scored!
Penev scratched his chin and thought for a while. If he lost the ball now, it might not be a bad thing for CSKA Sofia. At least the players let go of their contempt!
Up to now, Penev still does not think that his team will be weaker than Luton. In any case, the opponent is only a third-level team. As long as CSKA Sofia is serious, there is no problem winning at home.

"Cheer up!! See it!! Don't underestimate the opponent just because the opponent is a third-tier team!! They are the champions of the FA Cup!!!"

Penev yelled at the pitch, loud enough for all the CSKA Sofia players to hear him.

Anyway, no one in Luton's lineup can understand Bulgarian, so Penev simply didn't pretend to cover his mouth with his hands and then called the players to communicate quietly.

No need for that!
"Attack!!! Overwhelm them with offense!!"

Penev growled.

The players of CSKA Sofia seemed to be very annoyed by the conceded goal, which was also related to their mentality before the game. They were contemptuous, but the result at this time slapped them hard.This made the players a little bit annoyed.

And the reaction on the court was that CSKA Sofia took advantage of the kick-off and immediately launched an attack.

But their offensive soon came to a halt.

Jeffrey cleared the ball in the penalty area and kicked it forward.

And at the moment when the siege was completed, Luton's formation pressed forward collectively.

As soon as CSKA Sofia's central defender took control of the ball, Luton's arrow Vardy rushed up!
The tall central defender saw that his skills were not good at his feet, so he had to continue to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper made a hasty clearance and kicked the ball out of the touchline!
The next game made CSKA Sofia head coach Penev wrinkle his whole face. The situation on the court was really beyond his expectations.

CSKA Sofia is completely suppressed!

They couldn't hold the ball, so they had to make a hasty clearance, and then gave the ball to Luton.

And Luton doesn't seem to like possession of the ball. Their offense is very simple. They hit the frontcourt with three or five passes, and then quickly find opportunities to shoot or cross.

The ball is exchanged frequently, but this is not a good thing for CSKA Sofia, because Luton's formation is pressed at the front of their penalty area. Luton's frontcourt pressure makes them completely unable to effectively organize the attack, and the tactic of finding the striker with a long pass is to run into Luton's two central defenders with very strong frontal defense capabilities.

More importantly, Luton's two-point ability is also very strong. The ball pushed out by the central defender is often taken by Kanter or Drinkwater, and then Luton attacks again.

Luton's offensive method is very simple, basically a few passes can create a shot.

The form of CSKA Sofia was quite passive at one time.

When Vardy's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Penev knew that this could not continue like this, and CSKA Sofia had to change!

Luton's corner kick was taken, and the goalkeeper rushed out of the small penalty area and played the ball out of the penalty area.The left-back Sandro outside the penalty area took the ball and took a long shot. The football brushed the crossbar and went out of the bottom line.

"Great job!! Alex!!"

Gao Bo praised Sandro's performance on the sidelines, while Penev, the head coach of CSKA Sofia, called the captain over while the ball was dead!

"Defense!! Next we will play defensive counterattack!!! Let the players return to the penalty area to defend and give up the possession!!!"

Since Luton is not very good at possession of the ball, CSKA Sofia simply gave up possession of the ball. They piled up defensive numbers at the front of the penalty area and let Luton attack the densely defended iron barrel formation!

Gao Bo soon discovered the change in his opponent.

Iron bucket array?

He looked at CSKA Sofia's performance. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to equalize the score now. CSKA Sofia formed two defensive lines at the front of the penalty area.

Gao Bo didn't care. After all, it was Luton who was leading at this time. Compared with stealing the ball and counterattack after the frontcourt was pressed, dismantling the bus was not what Luton was good at, but now Luton was leading, so the opponent should be anxious!
Next, CSKA Sofia will still be passive, but with Penev's adjustment, at least the previous jittery situation will be much less.

Luton is still frequently looking for opportunities to shoot. As long as there is room to shoot, the players on Luton's side did not hesitate at all!
However, CSKA Sofia's defense is good, and their luck is also good. After their goalkeeper saved a few threatening shots from Luton, the first half of the game was coming to an end soon.

One to zero!

After Luton made a fantastic start, there were no goals in the rest of the first half.After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the two sides entered the locker room.

After the intermission, the two sides will continue to compete in this stadium!
