Chapter 48
Chapter 45 Fast December
Luton almost defeated the top team Wycombe Wanderers with a crushing attitude, which made all the second division teams look sideways.

Wycombe Wanderers head coach Peter Taylor said at the press conference after the game: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Coach Gao Bo. He has done a great job. Luton is now at least one grade above other teams in the second division. Vardy, Charlie Austin, Drinkwater, Kante, the young central defender Jeffrey, and even Adam White and Matt Schmidt sitting on the bench are all enviable players. I really don't know where Gao Bo called these such powerful players came."

It is difficult to quantify how much Luton is better than other teams in the second division. Gao Bo found that he really couldn't arouse his passion for the second division because the opponent was too weak.He is now eager to bring Luton to the Premier League, where is the place he should go!
However, even if Luton is promoted to the first level in one year, it will take at least three seasons to be promoted to the Premier League.Before that, where Luton could play against high-level teams, there were only cup games left.The League Cup has been eliminated, and as the situation in the league is getting better and better, Gao Bo is now setting his sights on the FA Cup! !

However, the league games still have to be played one by one.On the fourth day after the game against Wycombe Wanderers ended, Luton ushered in the home game of the British Championship, facing the visiting Colchester United. Facing this team in the lower reaches of the second division league, Luton, who had rotated most of the main lineup, did not make much effort. They won the opponent [-]-[-] at home without bloodshed.

On December 20th, the No.[-] round of the league. After a week of revision, the main lineup played against Morecambe at home. Facing the opponent's iron barrel formation, Luton had a lot of trouble in the first half. They defeated Morecambe [-]-[-] and continued to maintain a super high scoring efficiency in the league.

After the training on December 24, Luton held a Christmas dinner in the restaurant of the training base. Now everything in Luton is developing in a good direction. The league has not lost a game so far, and it is the only team in the league that is still unbeaten.

"We even have the hope of upgrading this season!!!" owner David Morton said excitedly standing on the stage.

"Class A!! Class A!!!"

The players warmed up below.

Gao Bo looked at the players with a smile.

Is it just an upgrade?My goal is not just that.
Gao Bo didn't speak out what was in his heart. He was worried that if the players were under pressure, they might not perform so well.

As soon as the Christmas bells struck, Luton had two games that Kobo dubbed a "shit schedule".

On December 26, Luton challenged Cheltfield in an away game. Since they will face Lincoln City, which is ranked second in the league, at home two days later, Gao Bo made a substantial rotation in this game. Except for Kanter, Vardy, Charlie Austin, Kane Keane, Drinkwater and others did not start.

This game lasted more than 80 minutes, and the score on the court was still zero to zero. Facing the opponent's iron barrel formation, Luton's offensive could only return in vain again and again.And just when Gao Bo was about to accept a draw, a scene happened on the field that made him angry.

At that time, Gao Bo was unscrewing the bottle cap to drink water. As soon as he unscrewed the bottle cap, he threw the water on the ground.

It was originally a chance for Luton to take a corner kick, but it was pushed out by the opponent at the first point, and then an extremely fast winger of the opponent took the ball to the front of the penalty area and then shot a world wave with a long shot. The football hit the right angle between the crossbar and the post and entered the goal.

"Damn it!!!!" Gao Bo threw the water on the ground fiercely, startling the substitutes and coaches behind him.The fans of the home team were almost going crazy with excitement. In this small stadium that can only accommodate thousands of people, Gao Bo even felt like he was in the Bernabeu of Real Madrid.For Cheltfield, .If they can beat this season's second division super team at home, this game is enough for them to brag for a month.

In the end, Luton still suffered the first defeat of the season. Gao Bo was very disappointed with this result, but he also knew that this day would come sooner or later. No team could never lose. Back then, Arsenal created the miracle of winning the championship undefeated in the season.

Gao Bo quickly adjusted his mentality. Losing now is much better than losing at a critical moment. For example, losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup!
In the last game of December, the third round of No.20 in the league, Luton vs. Lincoln City at home!
Luton played their best in this game, and the loss in the last game seemed to make Luton's players very concerned. They looked aggressive from the beginning of this game.Gao Bo guessed that the opponent was going to play an iron bucket formation, so Gao Bo sent Adam White in this game!
Now Adam White still has not passed the test in terms of physical fitness. His current physical condition is the worst in the first team. In order to improve Adam's physical fitness, physical coach Mel has to work overtime for an hour every day after training-just to improve this kid's physical condition.

Adam is a player who can only use half-court. Gao Bo still regrets this. With Adam's speed and the spiritual dribbling skills honed on the street court, Gao Bo reminded Mahrez of Leicester City's championship season. With such a player with breakthrough ability, it is relatively easy for Luton to break through.

Luton's opening goal should indeed be credited to Adam White, and his breakthrough on the left created a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Drinkwater took the set kick and accurately hit Jeffrey's head. The Dutch teenager jumped high and headed the ball into the goal.

After taking the lead, Luton played much better. Before the end of the first half, Luton scored again and Vardy helped the team expand the score.

In the second half, Gao Bo replaced Adam White. Adam's physical fitness could only allow him to play 45 minutes of the game.

The victory in this game made Gao Bo heave a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the defeat in the last game would cause a slippery slope effect. In any case, Luton is still more than ten points behind the top of the league table.
