Chapter 40 Exposed Problems

Issues exposed by Chapter 38
Unbeknownst to Gao Bo, there is a young man who is thousands of miles away from Shanghai, who is about to embark on a journey to England to pursue his dream.

After the end of the tenth round of the league, there is an FA Championship game in the middle of the week.The Football League Trophy (Football League Trophy) is a championship contested by two low-level teams under the English Football League. Its name has been changed due to different sponsors (see title name below). It is currently called "Johnstone's Paint Trophy" (Johnstone's Paint Trophy), and is also often called "Associate Members' Cup". However, there is no distinction between full members and affiliate members in the league.

Gao Bo didn't pay much attention to this game. He sent a lineup of all youth team members, and he didn't make any demands on the outcome. It was purely for training young players.

Now Luton's focus is still on the league.

In the end, Luton's opponent in the away game and the British Championship was Brentford from the First Division. In the end, Luton suffered the second defeat of the season in the away game. They were defeated by Brentford [-]-[-] and were eliminated from the British Championship.

Gao Bo does not intend to put too much energy on the cup competition. There are 46 league games in the second division alone, and Luton's lineup is actually relatively thin. Although Gao Bo brought a few players, there is still a big gap between Luton's main players and the substitutes.

Gao Bo does not expect to have no injuries in the main lineup for a season, so Gao Bo is still very cautious about the use of main players.

After all, injuries are the nightmare of professional players. On October [-]th, during training, Charlie Austin sat on the ground clutching his ankle with a painful expression.

Gao Bo frowned, and team doctor Haruko Sakuragi immediately entered the field to check.

After preliminary diagnosis, the situation is not optimistic.

"Charlie's sprained his ankle and it will take at least two weeks to recover."

Gao Bo's brows were furrowed. Injuries are indeed something no one wants to see, but injuries are unavoidable on the football field.

Gao Bo hugged the depressed little Austin to comfort him.

Charlie Austin was indeed very frustrated. Being able to play in the professional league made Charlie Austin very excited, but the injury forced Austin to stay off the court.

Matt Schmidt's eyes lit up after watching Charlie Austin get hurt.

At the beginning, Matt thought he could play the main force in Luton, but Vardy and Charlie Austin firmly occupied the main position. It was difficult for Matt to get the chance to start.

However, the team has won consecutive victories all the way, and the opportunities for substitute players are naturally less.The winning team doesn't change.

Matt and Charlie Austin have no personal grievances, but objectively, after Charlie was injured, Matt Schmidt's opportunity came!
On October [-]th, Luton ushered in a challenge from Accrington at home.

The most interesting thing about this game is that the striker combination has become the partner of high center Matt Smith and Vardy.

Before the game starts, Gao Bo has to choose the combination of cards.

After ten rounds of the league, Gao Bo's current level has been successfully promoted to level 2, and the number of card slots has also increased from three to four.

Now his status is:

Name: Gao Bo

Level: 2 (1500/10000)

Nationality: Chinese

Date of birth: April 1981, 8

Occupation: Football Coach

Number of cards owned (12)

Special Skill: Wisdom Eye (cooling time 24 hours)

The highest-level cards that Gao Bo owns now are still the two blue cards drawn at the beginning, and the blue game card must be equipped.

In addition, Gao Bo also chose three other cards.

After more than ten rounds of continuous card drawing, Gao Bo finally drew a yellow card.

"[Match Card (Yellow): Heading ability increased by 8%, designate a player to use]"

Before that, Gao Bo had been using this card on the central defender, because Luton was not very familiar with the high-altitude pass tactics before, because whether it is Vardy or Charlie Austin, their advantage is not in the air.

But now that Matt Smith is starting, it is still necessary for him to strengthen the rehearsal of crossing routines. After all, he is a high center forward with a height of 190 cm.

In addition to this card, Gao Bo also chose two other cards.

[Competition card (yellow): speed increased by 7%, designate a player to use. 】

This card Gaobo was used on Vardy,
Then four white cards that increased the crossing ability by 3% were used on Kevin Keane.

Although Gao Bo has a lot of cards now, there are only a few that can be used.

Gao Bo is now eagerly looking forward to the rewards he can get after the end of the season!

Seeing that Charlie Austin was injured in this game, Accrington actually wanted to score points at the Worth Stadium. They shrunk their formation and tried not to give Vardy a chance to intersperse. In the frontcourt, Accrington put a fast forward.For Accrington, being able to score a point in the away game is also a victory.

In fact, after Luton has won more and more games in a row, the opponents in the second division will start to pay attention to Luton, especially some mid-lower teams. When they face Luton, they start to shrink their defense and play defensive counterattacks.

Although Luton is still at the bottom of the standings, Luton's strength is considered by all teams to be one of the best teams in the second division. If they are not deducted points, they have a chance to compete for the second division championship.

In the face of the opponent's dense formation, in fact, Luton has no good way. Breaking the dense defense is a world problem, and it is the same for Luton.

The first half ended [-]-[-] and Accrington's players were encouraged that they didn't concede a goal in the first half and Luton didn't have many good chances.

In the second half, Gao Bo decided to change his tactics.

Vardy's power dropped a lot when he had no room to gallop. The opponent sent a special person to stare at Vardy in the first half. This is also the reason why Luton's offense was not smooth in the first half.

In the second half, Gao Bo decided to attack from the side. Soon, Accrington found that Luton had more crosses from the side.

The 190-608 cm Matt Schmidt put a lot of pressure on Ray Acklington's penalty area. In the [-]th minute of the game, Matt Schmidt finally seized a chance to cross and overwhelmed the opponent's defender to shake his head and attack the goal.

After the football was blocked by the goalkeeper, Vardy cleverly completed a supplementary shot to help the team score a goal.

This was the only goal of the game.

Although the game was won, Gao Bo was not happy.Because the team exposed a lot of problems in this game.

First of all, in the next league, when the team will face many similar dense defenses, how will the team break the dense defense at that time?
This question gave Gao Bo a headache.

The players don't have such troubles. Anyway, for the players, winning is enough. Why do you have to think so much.

Gao Bo announced the disbandment of the team in the locker room, and the next day had a day off, which immediately made the locker room boil.

However, Gao Bo did not leave immediately. Gao Bo needed to find a way to solve the problems exposed in this game.

He decided to go back to the office at the training base first.

When he walked out of the court, Uncle Maxxis ran over panting.

"Coach Gao Bo, there is a Chinese boy looking for you."
