Chapter 113 Overtime

Chapter 1 Overtime

Before Kevin Keane delivered the ball, Gao Bo first paced up and down the sidelines, then stood on the sidelines, looked at the assistants behind him, but said nothing.

He was actually a little worried, but it didn't show on his face.He couldn't tell others that his confidence was actually shaken the moment Arsenal scored.

He can't be shaken, he should always be fighting, he should always look like we can win.

This is the signal that a manager should send to the players.

Never let the players see their weaknesses. Because, when the team falls behind, the coach is the pillar of the players.
But now, when he saw Vardy use his chest to send the ball into the opponent's goal, Gao Bo's suppressed emotions finally broke out! !
He ran for more than 20 meters on the sidelines, and bumped into Vardy who also ran over to celebrate near the corner flag area.

Gao Bo clenched his hands into fists, opened his mouth and roared together with his disciples.

The players behind also rushed up, and the two were quickly overwhelmed by the players on the field and the substitute players rushing over from the bench! !

"Valdy!!!!!! Vardy!!!!!! Vardy!!!!!!!!!!" Letkinson chanted the name of the scorer from the stands.

"Vardy helped Luton equalize the score, and more importantly, now that Arsenal have sent off one man, they now have ten men to face Luton!!!"

"Wenger's team is in crisis!! They are likely to be eliminated by Luton in the semi-final!!!"

"Now the game time is 73 minutes!! Including injury time, there are still 10 minutes left!! Luton will have an advantage of playing one more man in these 10 minutes!!!"

"Eleven against ten!! The gap in strength between the two sides has been evened out!! The score on the field has also become a tie!! The next 10 minutes of the game will be the 10 minutes that will determine the fate of both sides. Whether Arsenal advances or Luton creates a miracle!! Everything depends on the performance of the two sides in these 10 minutes!" Letkinson said in one breath.

"Maybe there are three 10 minutes of overtime," Paul Merson added on the sidelines.

It is indeed possible that the game has developed to this situation.

Even though Arsenal are playing with ten players, they have so many talented players on the offensive end, so for Gao Bo, even if he plays one more player now, he would not dare to let the team aggressively attack.

"Continue to defend!! Let's continue to play defensively and counterattack!!" Gao Bo quickly explained while celebrating.

"Now time is on our side, John!" When the celebration ended, Gao Bo returned to the coach's bench and faced the doubts of John and others, Gao Bo said.

Even in extra time, Luton have nothing to fear.Playing one less player means that Arsenal have to spend more running on the field, which will consume a lot of their physical energy.

Even if Wenger still has three substitutions in his hands, it will be difficult for him to plug the physical hole of missing one player.

Gao Bo is not afraid of overtime, what he is worried about is that the team will lose the ball again within these 10 minutes.

"Let's continue to counterattack them!!" Gao Bo said after taking two steps back and forth, as if strengthening his confidence.

"They are in a hurry now, let's not be in a hurry!!" Gao Bo made up his mind.

Gao Bo's judgment was correct, and the Arsenal players seemed to be irritated at this time.

Facing a team that they usually look down on at all, they actually scored a goal in more than 70 minutes, lost their lead, and were sent off for it.

This made Arsenal's stars feel hot on their faces, and they felt that the whole world was laughing at them at this time.

Ah. Look, these players were reversed by a second division team.
Thinking of the possibility of such a voice after the game, the Arsenal players are extremely eager to equalize the score as soon as possible.

So when the game resumed, Arsenal immediately launched a fierce counterattack!

Wenger was also a little anxious, so he immediately made a substitution!
The 20-year-old Mexican striker Vela is standing on the sidelines ready to play. He is going to replace Alexander Song!
Remove a midfielder and replace it with a striker!Even with one less player, Wenger decided to launch a counterattack at the last moment! !

After Bella came on the field, Arsenal now has three strikers on the field, together with Nasri and Arshavin on both sides, and Fabregas in the middle, it can be said that Arsenal is now ready to put all their eggs in one basket to attack!
Now Arsenal's formation looks like a 333 formation, with three defenders at the back, Nasri, Fabregas and Arshavin in the middle, and three forwards in the frontcourt.

Faced with such a frantic attack, Luton, who played one more player, also seemed a little struggling.

Arsenal didn't expect this game to play like this, they didn't even prepare for extra time.

So after the score was equalized, they started to attack violently!

Gao Bo saw it. Although Arsenal's several shots made his heart beat faster and his pupils shrank sharply, as time went by, Gao Bo's heart became more and more peaceful.

He saw the meaning of dying struggle from Arsenal's furious attack in the last few minutes.Nine and 10 minutes of offense have already consumed too much energy for them. What adjustments will Arsenal make next?They can also switch to two offensive players, but in the case of playing one less player, when the physical fuel of other players is exhausted, how much effect can switching in two freshmen have.

Charlie Austin had been warming up on the sidelines for a few minutes, but Gao Bo checked the time and still didn't replace him.

"Get ready for overtime!!!" Gao Bo immediately turned his head and said to John behind him.

Luton is of course ready to play overtime. Charlie Austin finished warming up, and Gao Bo told him some details at the end.

Arsenal's crazy attack at the end failed to score a goal. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of regular time, the pillars of Arsenal's players' bodies seemed to be emptied, and many players even began to cramp.

In the last ten minutes of violent attack, they were almost exhausted.

Wenger completed a substitution in the 80th minute of the game. He replaced Walcott and Denilson one after another, and replaced Nasri and Arshavin, who were somewhat unable to support their physical fitness.

Denilson is a midfielder who is good at long-range shots, while Arshavin is a new force who breaks through from the wing.

But neither of these two substitutions helped Arsenal open up the situation.Regular playing time ended and the game was dragged into overtime.

Wenger was a little helpless, because Arsenal had too many attackers on the field at this time, and the formation was already seriously unbalanced. Wenger actually took a gamble at the last moment, but obviously he failed. Now Arsenal will bear the consequences of the gamble.

In extra time, they will use such an extreme formation against Luton.
Wenger looked up to the sky. For Arsenal, they also need some luck now..
