Chapter 215 Negligence and Worry
The players warmed up quickly.

When the fans in the last seats in Amsterdam took their seats, both teams were making final preparations in their respective dressing rooms.

"Ajax are very good offensively!" Kobo said, standing in front of the players. "They have a few good offensive players, which is what people think of them. But in fact, their defense is also good. This is a typical Dutch team. They like to control the midfield! But we need to be most careful with their forwards!"

Gao Bo wrote Suarez's name on the tactical board.

"Jeffrey!! Don't let him out of your sight!!" Gao Bo wrote an exclamation mark next to Suarez's name, explaining the importance of this player.

Jeffrey was a little excited. This is the first time for this Dutch teenager to make his debut in a professional arena against his hometown in the Netherlands. The 19-year-old Jeffrey is also very eager to participate in next year's World Youth Championship, especially after his three teammates have been called by their respective national youth teams, Jeffrey's inner desire is even stronger.

But there are too many young talents in the Netherlands-at least people think so now.

Therefore, the youth teams of the Netherlands rarely set their sights overseas, because the youth training camp of Ajax alone is enough to form a good enough youth team, plus Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and Alkmaar and other teams, the Dutch have never lacked talent.

But this game is an opportunity for Jeffrey to show his strength, and he will not let himself screw things up!

"Give him to me, boss!"

Jeffrey is confident.

Gao Bo nodded, but he still turned to Sol Campbell and said, "Pay attention to the defense behind you!"

After explaining to Campbell, Gao Bo looked at Kanter: "N'Golo, your task in this game is very heavy, you have to pay attention to protecting the defense! If this guy gets the ball in the midfield, you can foul whenever necessary!!" Gao Bo poked Suarez's name on the tactical board.

"I see, boss!" Kanter also nodded.

After emphasizing offense, Gao Bo began to emphasize defense.

"Adam, pay attention to the timing of the forward attack and move more flexibly. You are facing Van der Weir, a right back who is more offensive than defensive!! Pay attention to the position behind him!! Open the gap from him!!" Gao Bo pointed to the right side of Ajax, which is the left side of Luton's attacking direction.

Adam nodded to show that he understood.

"After Ya's move forward, Danny, Kevin!" Gao Bo looked at Drinkwater and Kevin Keane: "You should pay attention to protecting the midfield and prevent the opponent from counterattacking!"

"Got it boss!" Kevin Keane said.

Adam and Kevin on both sides of Luton's midfield have different characteristics.Kevin's offense and defense are relatively balanced, so Luton is relatively stable on the right. Luton's wing attack is mainly concentrated on the left. Both the left back Sandro and the left midfielder Adam have strong offensive capabilities, so the characteristics of the two sides of the team are completely different. According to the characteristics of the players, the tactics arranged by Gao Bo are also different.

In fact, Ajax also paid attention to this.

"Their offensive range on the left will be much larger than that on the right, so we will also attack here!" In the locker room of the home team, Ajax coach Martin Jol pointed to this side and said: "Luis, you should also lean more this time!!"

Suarez nodded. Unlike traditional centers, Suarez is a flexible modern center. He has a wide range of activities, two sides, the center, and a retreating midfielder. After a game, Suarez can be seen in almost every position in the frontcourt.

"Adam White will be involved frequently in the attack, and their left-back Sandro is also good in attack. So behind them is a space that we can use!" Martin Jol said, pointing to somewhere on the tactical board.

"In addition to this side, Griezmann needs to be paid attention to in defense!!" Martin Jol said.

"No matter where this Frenchman goes, someone must keep an eye on him!"

"What I need to emphasize is that although the opponent is only a third-tier team, they are very resilient and not weak in strength." Martin Jol's tone became dignified.

"I must stress again that they beat Roma twice in the group stage!"

The Ajax players also looked serious.

"So, we must not take it lightly, otherwise, we will follow in the footsteps of Rome!!" Martin Jol probably saw the seriousness on the players' faces, and he continued: "But this is our home stadium, and we are Ajax!! So what if we beat Rome? In this stadium, we can beat anyone!!"

"And what we have to do is to show our strengths and attack!! Knock them down with a powerful offensive!!" Martin Jol said, waving his fists.

Now Ajax no longer has the domineering power of the European super giants, but at least they still have a considerable background.

In Martin Jol's view, if Luton cannot be overwhelmed in momentum at home, this is simply a humiliation to the giant team of Ajax.

Luton defeated Rome, but to be honest, in Martin Jol's psychology, Ajax's strength is still better, so what he has to do is to stimulate the Ajax players' strong desire to win!

"I have seen many media reports in England these days. The English believe that the young players in the Luton team are better than everyone here." Martin Jol folded his chest and smiled contemptuously.

"This game, let this group of English people who are sitting in a well watch the sky, we Ajax are the star factory! You are all excellent members who have come out of Ajax's youth training camp. There have been too many famous names in Europe!"

"Half-time game!!" Martin Jol stretched out a finger: "At our home court, let these arrogant Englishmen know how good you are!!."

When Gao Bo appeared on the pitch, he looked around the Amsterdam stadium, and the Ajax fans made a huge noise in the stands.

The players are still waiting to line up in the player tunnel.

Gao Bo sat down on the coach's bench, and he quickly felt the atmosphere around him.

John looked nervously at the stands on the left and right, and Lin Sen's expression also looked a little dignified.

Both of his assistants seemed a little nervous.

Gao Bo immediately understood that this game was different from the group stage. This was the knockout round of the Europa League. Luton had never participated in this kind of competition before, and if the first round was not played well, the second round of the knockout round would probably be very difficult.There are two rounds of home and away games, two games to decide the outcome, and the economy is all decided within these 180 minutes. It is no wonder that they are nervous.

Gao Bo frowned suddenly. Even a coach with rich life experience like John would feel nervous, so what about the players?
How could you neglect such an important matter!
Gao Bo began to self-reflect, which is also part of his experience. As a head coach, he actually has no experience in playing in the Europa League, so he also ignored the lack of experience of the players in the Europa League.

Gao Bo himself will not be nervous, he is born with a big heart, but what about the players?Gao Bo was not sure about this.

If the players are also nervous.
Gao Bo began to feel a little worried.

At this time, players from both sides have followed the referee and started to enter the field.

Judging from the faces of the players, everything seemed normal.

Gao Bo's concerns did not abate.

To a certain extent, this is a hidden danger of the game, I hope I worry too much
Gao Bo couldn't sit still, and he stood on the sidelines before the game started.
