Chapter 161 Unstable State

Luton's big win at home gave them their first league win, which relieved the fans and silenced the media.

Since Luton won the FA Cup, the mainstream media always like to focus on this First Division team-they are the most special First Division team, because there is no First Division team to play in the Europa League.

Compared with last season, Luton's media pressure is much greater, but Gao Bo has no time to think about these things now.

This season's schedule is really too dense.

The League, Europa League, League Cup, FA Cup, and the British Championship Cup.Such a dense schedule made Gao Bo have to consider the team's physical fitness.

After a big home win over Hartlepool on 22 August, the second round of the League Cup started again on 25 August, just three days later.

This time Luton's draw was unlucky, and they drew an away game against the Premier League team Blackburn!

The recent games are basically played every three days, which makes Gao Bo take into account the team's physical condition, and with so many cup games, Gao Bo has to make a choice.

The focus of this season is still the league and the Europa League. Luton is not a big team. Gao Bo knows very well that the result of wanting everything is likely to be nothing in the end.So Gao Bo considered again and again, and decided to rotate the main players in this game-Gao Bo was going to give up the League Cup.

Gao Bo is a straightforward person, if he wants to give up, he should give up completely.

In this game, Gao Bo sent substitute players, and he even brought up a few players from the reserve team.

Facing Blackburn with such a lineup, the opponent is a Premier League team anyway, so Luton's away loss is also expected.

The process of the game was full of twists and turns, and Luton took the lead early by counterattacking.

Before the start of the game, Gao Bo promised the starting players that as long as they win the game, they will play in the League Cup in the future.

However, Blackburn finally had the upper hand. They fought back in the second half and scored two goals in succession to reverse the game, which also led to Luton's exit in the League Cup.

Gao Bo didn't feel regretful about being eliminated from the League Cup, but such a result was still very cruel for the players who fought for the whole game.

Gao Bo comforted the players on the field one by one, and he was very satisfied with the fighting spirit shown by the substitutes.

After this game, on 28 August, the day after the Champions League draw, the Europa League group stage draw for the 2009-10 season took place in Monaco.

This is something Luton is really more focused on.

In fact, these players introduced this season to a large extent value the stage of the Europa League.

Needless to say, Sandro, his labor certificate is stuck, although Mendes exerted his influence in Portugal, but his Portuguese passport is still in the process, and the special genius clause in England seems to be stuck there for a long time without news.

If he fails to get a work permit before the transfer window ends, then Sandro will only be able to play in the Europa League for the first half of the season. Without a work permit, he will not be able to play games under the FA.

Griezmann is also paying attention to the draw of the Europa League. In these few games, Gao Bo established him as the core of the frontcourt attack. This role made Griezmann very grateful to Gao Bo. A young player who was still playing for the Real Sociedad B team before he came to the team.

However, with the encouragement of Gao Bo, Griezmann really did not doubt his own strength, especially the big victory in the previous league completely made Griezmann full of confidence.He can adapt here, he can adapt to the league in England.

The Europa League is undoubtedly a bigger stage than the English League One, and Griezmann is eager to show his strength here.

There are two English teams participating in the Europa League draw this time-Everton and Luton.

Originally, England had three places in the Europa League, but Aston Villa was eliminated by Rapid Vienna in the qualifying round.
In the end, Luton was drawn into Group E. They will be in a group with Roma from Serie A, Banba Basel from the Swiss Super League, and CSKA Sofia from the Bulgarian League.

After the results of this group came out, the media in England believed that Luton was likely to win the second place in the group.

Roma is undoubtedly the strongest team in this group. They basically have no problem qualifying. CSKA Sofia is the weakest team in the group. The English media believe that Luton's biggest competitor is Basel.

But for the other three opponents in the group, they probably regard Luton as the weakest team in the group. After all, Luton is only the third-tier team in England.

"We need to carefully study the situation of the group. The three opponents in this group are not underdogs. We will take it seriously!"

In front of the reporter's microphone, Gao Bo didn't say much.Because the team's game tasks are still very heavy.

On August 29, the team played against Walsall at home. This was the fifth round of the league match. Griezmann continued his excellent form in this game. He first assisted Vardy to score, and then he scored a shot in the penalty area!

Luton finally defeated Walsall [-]-[-]. Griezmann was at home in the new position that Gao Bo arranged for him, and he became more and more adapted to the core position.

Three days after this round of the league, on September [-]st, the team is about to play an away game in the UK Championship.Gao Bo is now unable to complain about the Football Association's schedule.

The rhythm of one game for three consecutive days gave Gao Bo the urge to use the blue coupons on the team's physical fitness, but in the end he resisted, because after all, good steel should be used wisely.The British Championship is completely useless for the current Luton, and the opponent in this game is Colchester, who is also from the First Division, so Gao Bo does not intend to invest too much resources in the British Championship.

The young players in the echelon got a chance to play and practice, but they still lost [-]-[-] in the away game against Colchester, who was at their best.

Eliminated from the League Cup, followed by the British Championship.Bad news has followed one after another for Luton lately.

But Gao Bo doesn't think this is bad news. It's no big deal to get out of two tasteless cup games. Gao Bo's mood is even very good recently-because Sandro has received a Portuguese passport.

Mendes is really powerful in Portugal. Before the Premier League transfer window closed, he finally got Sandro's Portuguese passport.

In this way, Sandro can finally complete the registration in the league.

And then there will be a league game immediately, the first round of the league match, Luton will face Trampier away!

The final result of the game was a 90-[-] Luton [-]-[-] lead that lasted until the No. [-] minute, when Trampier equalized the score with a corner kick in stoppage time.

Luton has suffered an absolute draw!
This made Gao Bo, who was about to withdraw his troops, very angry on the sidelines. In the locker room after the game, Gao Bo was very dissatisfied with the team's laxity at the last moment. The players endured the hair dryer for 10 minutes in the locker room.

Afterwards, Gao Bo announced that he would continue training the next day, and the holiday was cancelled!
After this round of the league, Luton played a total of five league games. Although they have not lost yet, they scored nine points with three draws and two wins. This score can only make them No.7 in the league.

Compared with last season's devastating sweep in the second division, Luton, who has been promoted to the first division, does not seem to be as crazy as last season.

"...Compared to last season's crazy state, Luton this season seems to be back to normal." Lineker said on the BBC's program.

"The level of League One and League Two is different. Maybe Luton needs to change his mentality. It is not so easy to play in League One. The three draws are proof." A guest said.

"They still have to play in the Europa League. Luton has a lot of tasks this season. Maybe Gao Bo needs to make a decision earlier. After all, Luton is just a small club. They can only choose one front. They don't have the strength to fight on multiple fronts." Another guest added.

Not just TV shows, many media are also pessimistic about Luton's prospects.

Many teams have such precedents. Multi-line battles eventually dragged down the team, and in the end the big four were empty and nothing was gained.

Will Luton follow in these teams' footsteps?
Judging from the ups and downs of Luton from the beginning of the league to the present, the media has reason to believe this.
