Chapter 168 John's Worries
At the beginning of the game, Basel took advantage of the opportunity when they kicked off the ball first, preparing to press up and attack.

But they soon discovered that they had hit the iron plate in midfield.

Kanter is in excellent form for this game!At the beginning of the game, Kanter snatched the ball back, and then he passed the ball to Drinkwater, and Brother Drinkwater directly made a long pass behind the opponent's defense line-because Basel's formation was already pressing up.

However, he didn't handle the long pass well, and the pass was slightly bigger. The Basel goalkeeper got the ball before Vardy.

Gao Bo applauded Kanter's performance from the sidelines. Just now Kanter quickly made a prediction when the opponent passed the ball, and then quickly grabbed the ball and intercepted the ball!
In Gao Bo's view, the focus of this game will be in the midfield, because the opponent is also hoarding heavy troops in the midfield, and like Barcelona, ​​Basel is also a team that insists on short passes on the ground to cooperate with advancing. Their midfield configuration is still very strong.

So Gao Bo simply used the card mainly on Kanter.The most critical thing in this game is the defensive efficiency of the siege in the midfield.

[Match Card (Green): Steal success rate increased by 15%, designated player "N'Golo Kanter" to use]

[Match card (green): Defensive prediction increased by 15%, designated player "N'Golo Kanter" to use]

[Match Card (Green): Increase defensive position by 15%, designated player "N'Golo Kanter" to use]

Except for the two blue cards, Gao Bo used him on Kanter in the other three card slots. In terms of interception, Kanter is estimated to be the most powerful midfield interceptor in the world. Counting the blue interception card used by the whole team, Kanter's interception ability at this time has increased by 30% on his original basis! !
Coupled with defensive anticipation and defensive positioning, Kanter’s original foundation is very good. After the improvement of the card, Kanter is simply an iron gate in the midfield. He gallops all over the field. Every player in Basel looks up and can always see Kanter’s dark face.

After the start of this game, Basel, who played away, was more active, trying to control the midfield.

However, Luton's midfield press caused the two sides to fight in the midfield. Basel's offense could not be organized, but Luton counterattacked several times.

"Kante steals the ball in midfield!!! He passes it straight up to Kevin Keane!! Kevin makes a long pass to Adam. Big pass and the ball goes off the touchline. Ball for Basel!"

"It's Kante again!!! He made another tackle and this time he did it himself!! Kante puts the ball up. A little short and the ball is controlled by the Basel centre-back Abraham!"

Letkinson was on the commentary seat of the stadium. The game had just started, and the content of the game was similar to what he said.Basel tried to control the rhythm in the midfield, while Kanter made frequent steals. After that, Luton's counterattack success rate did not seem to be too high, and the possession of the ball changed hands several times!
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, feeling a little anxious about Luton's counterattacks these few times.

He emphasizes simple and fast passing, but this is under the guarantee of a certain success rate. These few handlings show the mentality of the players for this game-after all, this is a Europa League game, so the mentality of the players is different from that of playing in the league. They want to hit the ball directly to the threat area at once.

Gao Bo shouted at the players from the sidelines, and then made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, signaling the players to calm down.

"Bypass him!! Bypass that kid!!!"

The Basel coach on the sidelines was also yelling on the sidelines.

In fact, the Basel players were still very afraid of Luton's counterattack at the beginning, but the passes of the Luton players these few times made the Basel players feel relieved.

they are nothing more than that
Since Kanter is having a hard time in the middle, it would be good for Basel to pass the ball to the wing.

So Basel stopped playing in the middle, and they passed the ball to the wing.

The speed at which Luton's formation moved surprised the Basel players. Luton quickly moved over, and the Basel midfielder Carlitos, who had just received the ball from the wing, was immediately surrounded by Luton.

In a hurry, Carlitos' ball was snatched by Kanter again.

"Luton's counterattack is coming!!"

After the previous failed counterattacks, even Letkinson in the stands seemed not excited enough.

The players in Basel quickly retreated. Their retreat speed is relatively fast, but compared to the passing speed, they are still slower!

Kante intercepts the ball and Drinkwater responds close to the middle.

Drinkwater turned around directly after taking the ball. This time he did not directly pass a long pass to find the striker. He found that his long pass was not in a good state today, and the success rate of long passes to the frontcourt was not high, so he chose the ground ball pass.

The football passed to Griezmann's feet in the frontcourt, and Griezmann didn't delay any time. He passed the ball to the other side immediately.

Adam White's speed is very fast. At the request of Gao Bo, he recently practiced passing the ball. Adam ran forward while observing the situation in the penalty area.

Now the opponent's defender is still far away from him, so he has enough time to think and handle the ball.

"Stop him!!!!!!"

Luton made three passes and two passes, and developed the ball to the frontcourt, which made the Basel coach on the sidelines unable to sit still. The Basel players on the field also felt bad when Griezmann passed the ball diagonally to the front!Several Basel players jumped at Adam, and several players rushed to the penalty area.

At this time in the penalty area, Vardy and Griezmann are already preparing to grab points one after the other.

Adam pocketed the ball with his left foot, a half-high ball!The football bypassed the defense of Basel's front point!

Vardy rushed in the middle, but the football still passed him.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the back.

Click later!
Griezmann! ! ! !
Griezmann was already ready, he raised his arch and shot with one foot! ! !
The football flew into the net without any suspense! ! !

"Goal!!! Griezmann!!! One to zero!!!!!!"

Leaping up with Letkinson were the fans in the stands, the substitute players rushing out from the bench with their arms raised, and Gao Bo who opened his arms on the sidelines.

The whole stadium was lit because of this goal!

"This is a key game in Group E of the Europa League group stage. Luton, who is playing at home, took the lead in No. 11 minutes of the game! This result couldn't be better for Luton! They are already good at playing defensive counterattacks, but now that they have taken the lead, their opponent's situation will be even more difficult!!" Letkinson shouted from the stands.

"Kanter's performance in this game is really eye-catching. He can be seen almost everywhere. I have never seen a midfield defender who can attract so much attention." Said Redknapp Jr. sitting next to Letkinson.

John and others also rushed out to celebrate.

"N'Golo's performance today is really great." John said beside Gao Bo. Although Griezmann scored the goal, so far the best player is Kanter.

"He's always been great." Gao Bo chuckled.

The three-chapter card was used on a defensive player, and Gao Bo was a little surprised by the effect.In this game, Kanter is like a big door in the midfield. He alone almost paralyzed Luton's midfield organization
"Nice job, N'Golo!!"

Kante was not involved in the goal celebration up front, he stayed in the back.

Gao Bo gave a thumbs up and shouted at Kanter.

Kanter grinned. The coach's praise made the shy Kanter a little embarrassed. He even blushed a little, but it was just hidden under this dark face.

Kanter felt so good in this game, he even felt that he suddenly wanted to have a hazy intuition, which allowed him to predict where the ball would pass and where he should stand.
Luton's celebration ended quickly, and Kanter returned to his position. He and Drinkwater were on the left and right when defending, but this position is not fixed, Kanter's position is very flexible.

"Good job, N'Golo."

Kevin Keane came over and rubbed Kanter's head before kick-off and said.

Yeah he's always been great.

John looked at Kanter on the field, and then at Gao Bo.

The players that these high waves bring, every one of them is great
I just don't know, how long can Gao Bo stay as Luton's head coach?

With Luton's appearance in the Europa League this season, Gao Bo's reputation will naturally rise, and if Luton makes a breakthrough in the Europa League this season.
Perhaps the whole of Luton will be dismantled by those wealthy teams.Including the most important person. Coach Gao Bo.

Under John's deep eye sockets, a trace of sadness was hidden.
