Chapter 97 Semi-final: Opponent Arsenal!
Chapter 94 semi-finals: opponents Arsenal!

Since it was an away game, Gao Bo and his team did not celebrate too much after the game. After the game, the players celebrated in the locker room for a while, then packed their things and boarded the bus. After a night of rest at the hotel, they returned to Luton the next morning.

When the team's vehicles entered the urban area, the fans were almost boiling. The fans crowded around the bus that was slowly moving on the urban roads, as if there was a championship parade.

In fact, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup is no less than some teams winning the championship for Luton fans.Because Luton is only a fourth-level team, with such a league level to achieve such results in the cup, even if Luton is eliminated in the semi-finals, I am afraid that in the next ten or 20 years, when fans mention Luton this season, they will talk about it.

Luton's historic break into the semi-finals made the whole of Luton crazy. Anyway, the tavern owners last night must have made a lot of money.

On the pages of all the sports media published the next day, this game was the key news that was put on the front page.

The other three knockout rounds involved Premier League teams, including giants such as Arsenal and Liverpool, but the most eye-catching one was Coventry vs. Luton at home.

"Luton - FA Cup semi-final!" was the headline of many media outlets.

Just associating the name of the Luton team with the FA Cup semi-finals is enough to shock people.

"Luton led by Chinese coaches are creating miracles, or they have already created miracles. In the Second Division, Luton, which has been deducted 2 points, is now ranked No.[-] in the league. They are almost locked in a place for promotion to the League One. Even after the end of the season, Luton won the Second Division. People will not be surprised! And in the FA Cup, Luton is also a super dark horse in the FA Cup this season. Their promotion is not due to luck in the draw. Chelsea, met Manchester City. But in the end Luton eliminated them!! Now, this second division team will go to Wembley to compete for a ticket to the FA Cup final!!" Sky Sports wrote in the report.

And the photo they matched was Gao Bo jumping up to celebrate the goal.

Generally speaking, the media prefer to use players as pictures. After all, on the football field, fans prefer to chase football stars with full of personality.However, the English media unanimously chose to put Gao Bo's photo, which fully demonstrates how successful the head coach's work in Luton is.

"The first half of the game was quite dull. Both sides invariably put on a defensive counterattack posture, but in the end, under the pressure of the home fans, Coventry tried to attack. However, if the Coventry fans knew the consequences of pressing the offense, they might not have put pressure on the team. Luton took advantage of the opportunity of some Coventry players trying to press and the midfielder was out of touch, and completed a quick counterattack!! Scored a goal."

"In the second half, Coventry took advantage of a corner kick to score a goal to equalize the score, and the essence of the game was in the last minute of stoppage time. Luton also used a corner kick and scored with a header from central defender Jeffrey, completing the lore!!!!"

Three of the four FA Cup quarter-finals have ended, and none of these three games have a tie. The other three teams that have reached the semi-finals include Everton and Arsenal, and Liverpool's home game against Fulham will be played tonight.Next, no matter which team Luton draws as an opponent, it will not be easy.

However, the FA Cup semi-final match is already a month later, so Gao Bo has not considered the FA Cup for the time being.In addition to paying attention to the draw tonight, Gao Bo began to focus on the league again.

On the day he returned to Luton, Gao Bo gave the team a day off, and Gao Bo casually gave himself a day off.

Since the second division has 46 league rounds, Luton's schedule is even denser than some Premier League teams when it needs to take into account the cup competition.Therefore, the team's strings collapsed very tightly during this period.

Gao Bo understands the truth that too much is too much.

Gao Bo didn't go anywhere during his one-day vacation. After returning to the apartment, he took a good sleep first, and then got up in the afternoon to read the newspaper for a while. He originally wanted to go out for a stroll in the afternoon, waiting to go to the bar to drink some wine, and he changed his mind to the last game of the FA Cup quarter-finals and the draw after the game.

But when Gao Bo opened the curtains, looking at the patter of rain outside the window, he knew that his plan was in vain.Looks like I can't go anywhere today.

Gao Bo made himself a pot of tea, and then turned on the TV.

Just when Gao Bo was waiting impatiently, BBC Sports finally started the live broadcast.

The game was played at Anfield, Liverpool's home court, and both sides played the strongest lineup.

Liverpool is once again far away from the Premier League championship this season. In order not to let themselves be empty-handed after the end of the season, they must also gain something in the FA Cup in order to explain to the fans.

Fulham is in the middle of the league, and it is basically impossible to qualify for the European war, but there is no worry of relegation.In the league, Fulham is basically in a running state.

In terms of strength, Liverpool is far more competitive than Fulham, but in such a single-match knockout system, it is not easy for Liverpool to easily eat Fulham when both sides are extremely committed.

This is a very difficult game for both sides.However, in the No.703 minute of the second half, Gerrard broke the deadlock of the game with a long shot to break through Fulham's goal.

Then Liverpool managed to maintain a [-]-[-] score until the final whistle, won the game and won the last ticket to the FA Cup semi-final.

The draw for the FA Cup semi-finals took place immediately after the game.

The first one to be drawn was Everton, and then Liverpool was also drawn out.

In this way, the result is determined.

The Merseyside derby was staged in the FA Cup semi-final, and Luton was drawn to Arsenal.
After Gao Bo saw the result, he turned off the TV. He walked to the balcony and looked at the two- or three-story apartment not far away.

Drawn to Arsenal.
Gao Bo frowned, Wenger's team is not easy to deal with.

He was holding on to the railing of the balcony, and the lights from the distant floors passed through the rain curtain, reflecting mottledly on the white walls and red tiles.

Another new challenge
Fighting with others is a lot of fun!Gao Bo fully charged himself again.
