Chapter 45 Luton's Plan B
Chapter 42 Luton's Plan B
After reaching the third round of the FA Cup, Gao Bo was a little tangled.

On the one hand, Gao Bo wants to go further in the FA Cup. The FA Cup format is very interesting. In one game, the winner advances, the loser is eliminated, and the tie is replayed on a later date.

In the 1988 FA Cup final, Liverpool, which was in full swing at the time, encountered Wimbledon, which was not strong at the time, but Liverpool's penalty kick was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, watching Wimbledon lift the championship trophy.

In the FA Cup of the 2003-04 season, Shrewsbury, which is in the fourth tier league, scored 2-1 with Everton, breaking the biggest upset of the current FA Cup.

In the third round of the FA Cup in 1990-91, Woking, who was in the fifth tier at the time, eliminated West Brom, who was in the top league, with a score of 4-2, and broke a big upset.

There are many similar unpopular stories, and people go far away to talk about the story of a small team overthrowing a giant.

However, as the head coach, Gao Bo rarely appreciates such stories.The reason why unpopularity becomes unpopular is that even in the FA Cup, which is known as the "hotbed of unpopularity", most of the teams that advance are those stronger teams, and the teams that can reach the finals are mostly top league teams.An upset can happen in a game, but if you want to be a black horse to the end, you need the support of strength after all.

But on the other hand, Luton's financial situation is not optimistic. Gao Bo also thought that maybe a top four giants team in the Premier League could be drawn in the third round. Playing a game at their home court would be enough for Luton, who is in the fourth tier, to spend two or three months. Owner David Morton has been worrying about the team's financial situation recently.

If you want to go further, then in the third round, it is best to draw a weaker team, preferably your own home court, and if you draw Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League giants, especially at their home court, Gao Bo does not think that with the current lineup of Luton, he dares to say that he is sure to beat these giants away.

However, what opponent Luton will encounter in the third round is not under Gao Bo's control. The fate of the teams that will eventually reach the third round of the FA Cup still needs to be determined by drawing lots.The lottery ceremony will be held on the afternoon of Friday, December [-]th, and will be broadcast live on TV and radio.

Before the draw ceremony, Luton still has a game to play.It was a make-up match for the No.14 round of the league, and Luton played against Bournemouth at home.

Bournemouth's current points are the same as Luton's, which is also 15 points. In fact, in the second division standings, there are five teams including Luton who scored 19 points.Among the five teams with the same score, Bournemouth's goal difference is the least. This is also related to Bournemouth's situation this season. Bournemouth have done a good job on the defensive end this season. The round of the league has scored 21 goals. Vardy is also the top scorer in the second division and tops the scorer list.The second scorer in the team, Charlie Austin, has also scored [-] goals. That is to say, the total number of goals scored by the Bournemouth team can only be the third scorer in the Luton team.
Bournemouth played very tenaciously in the away game. Their defense did create a lot of difficulties for Luton. Until the end of the first half, the score was still zero to zero.

But in the second half, Gao Bo dispatched troops, Adam White came on, he replaced Lewis Emmanuel, and then Luton's formation also changed.

Gao Bo knew that he had to make a change when he encountered the opponent's dense defensive formation in succession.Previously, Gao Bo referred to the tactics of Leicester City in the championship season, but he soon discovered that the tactics must be in line with the current league environment.

For Leicester City that year, they were fighting in the Premier League. Even if they were ranked first in the end, the Premier League teams would not regard Leicester City as a super-strength team and send out iron barrels to deal with them.

But for Luton, the [-]-game winning streak at the beginning of the season is too dazzling. Their statistics have completely crushed other second division teams, so Luton is now a big crocodile in the small pool of the second division. Most teams like to put on an iron barrel formation when facing Luton.

Therefore, Gao Bo must make changes in response to this situation, which is also part of the work of the head coach.

Gao Bo's plan B is to change the team. Bournemouth is now clear about the rhythm of defending to get a point, so Gao Bo sent a winger with breakthrough ability.

After Adam Walter came on the field, he did not play Lewis Emmanuel's left midfield position. His position was more forward. He played the left forward position, while Charlie Austin moved his position to the right.

In the midfield, Kanter is in the middle, Drinkwater is on the left, Kevin Keane is on the right, and the back line remains unchanged.

Gao Bo changed the formation to 433, which is also the offensive formation that the team has been focusing on training recently. 433 is not exactly an offensive formation, but in most cases, 433 is often regarded as an offensive formation.

Luton has been adhering to a tactical style different from the long pass and lob that is now mainstream in the second division since Gao Bo took over. Even if it is a pass, the team must go through the offensive organization, and then pass the ball after cooperating with the gap.Gao Bo knew that in the future, no matter whether it was a control team, an impact team, or a counter-attack team, those teams that could really make a difference in a top arena like the Champions League would not be throwing long passes while holding the flag high.

After changing the lineup, Luton's offensive method changed again. Luton began to attack the left side, Adam Walter's side.

In the 703rd minute of the game, Adam Walter took the ball from the side, and Bournemouth immediately posted two defensive players. Adam's previous breakthroughs let the Bournemouth players know how powerful this black boy is.

Adam didn't push himself this time. During his two months as a youth training student, the biggest change was that he had teammates in his eyes. This was the most important change of thinking for him to embark on the professional arena.

He passes the ball to Drinkwater and starts running himself.

Drinkwater took the ball. At this time, Bournemouth's formation was basically to the right, that is, Luton's offensive direction was tilted to the left, because Luton had been here for a long time and made several threats.

Time to transfer!

A strong attack on the left is just to pull the opponent's formation to the left.

Drinkwater made a long pass with his right foot. Charlie Austin received the ball on the right without defense.

Vardy grabbed a point in the penalty area and smashed the ball into the goal!

Gao Bo was waving his arms excitedly on the sidelines. The attack just now completely played out what they had trained.

Concentrate on attacking one way, wait until the other way is free, then move over, and then grab the opponent's defense line to move, and make a goal!
Such an offensive routine looks simple, but it is not easy to do it!Judging from the offense just now, Luton's set of dismissals is still effective when facing the opponent's iron barrel formation, at least it is much more effective than trying long shots and long passes into the penalty area like trying luck.

Gao Bo quickly calmed down. This is the plan B of Luton's tactics. When it is time to attack, the team can make such an attempt.
