Chapter 70 Advance to the fifth round

Chapter 67 advanced to the fifth round
Just as Gao Bo was solving Adam's matter, the second half of the second-tier league matches gradually started.

Due to the need to make way for some teams in the league to play in the English Championship, Luton's No.20 round five was postponed, while No.20 six rounds of the league was brought forward to January [-].

In the No.17 round of the league, Luton is challenging Darlington away.

The process of the game was actually not too turbulent. Before the first half of the game was over, Luton relied on Vardy's goal in the penalty area and Drinkwater's long-range shot to lead the opponent [-]-[-].

Leading by two goals in the first half, this is considered an early victory for Luton. There is no team in the second division that can come back when Luton leads by two goals!
In the 603rd minute of the second half, Charlie Austin stopped the ball in the chest after receiving a cross from his teammate and chose a barb shot. He scored a world wave and helped Luton seal the victory.

In the end, the score at the end of the game was [-] to [-]. Luton defeated Port Duning away. After winning this game, Luton's points came to [-] points!

The Luton fans who came to the away game were very excited, because the 8 points have brought their ranking to No.[-]!

At this time, the No.7 team, Brentford, has 41 points, and Luton is only one point away from No.7, which is qualified for the play-offs!

This gap is simply a breeze for Luton, who is in such a crazy state this season.

The players were also very happy after winning the game. After the whistle at the end of the game, the players on the bench, including Adam who was in the press center recently, also rushed into the stadium. Although it was an away game, the players still celebrated very wildly.

Gao Bo was also very happy, but he didn't celebrate too much. After the game, he simply clenched his fists, and then he walked towards the opponent's head coach. After shaking hands with the opponent, Gao Bo turned and walked into the player tunnel.

However, Gao Bo's good mood was only preserved in the post-match press conference.

"Coach Gao Bo, Mark Hughes said in an interview that Adam White is a genius in England. He thinks it is irresponsible to keep Adam White in the second division!"

"Coach Gao Bo, what do you think is the proper value of Adam White?"

"Have Manchester City made an offer?"

"How likely is Adam to stay in the team before the winter window closes?"

A bunch of questions were thrown, but they were all about Manchester City and Adam's rumours.

Gao Bo looked unhappy, and he grabbed the microphone.

"This is our post-match press conference with Darlington, not Manchester City's press room. You should save these questions to Mark Hughes."

"We got No. 40 league points in this game, and we were one point short of being able to squeeze into the top seven. This is a very great achievement for our team that was deducted 2 points before the season started. If we hadn't been deducted [-] points, then the current Luton will be the league champion who is nearly [-] points ahead of No. [-]!! This is what you should care about."

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he dropped the microphone and left.

Roy Saul, who was in the back row of the press room, felt inexplicably happy.As a Luton fan, she was also very unhappy with the questions of the reporters in the front row. Although she and Gao Bo were at odds, she was now on the same front as Gao Bo.

Although Gao Bo did not answer anything about the transfer rumors, but this can not trouble the media.

The news about Luton the next day was still Adam and Manchester City's scandal.What the media said was true, and even fabricated the details of the negotiations between the two parties...
In addition to Adam, there are actually transfer rumors for several of Luton's core players. Now is the winter window, and news about transfers is the most attractive to readers.

In order to avoid the impact of the turbulent transfer rumors on the team, Gao Bo isolated the team from the media, and he prohibited the team players from accepting media interviews without permission.

Outside of Luton's training base, there are many media reporters.

As the results of Luton's team continue to rise, they have attracted more and more media attention.

However, in the Luton training base, the team's training has not been disturbed by this.

The training of the players is still going on step by step.The team's next game is away to Preston.

Preston ranks in the middle of the English Championship, and their strength is far behind Chelsea.But Gao Bo didn't dare to be careless, after all, the opponent was a team two levels higher than Luton.

"The opponent is a team in the English Championship, but we are only a team in the second division! In terms of level, the opponent is two grades higher than us!" On the training ground, Gao Bo was wearing a training uniform and a peaked cap.And his players are around him.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!!" Gao Bo pointed to his forehead with both hands, "I know that many of you are still complacent about winning the Chelsea game. If we go away with this thought, I'm sure we will lose!!"

Gao Bo emphasized on the training ground.

Sure enough, at the Deep Valley Stadium, Luton encountered considerable difficulties from the beginning of the game.

Preston launched a fierce attack as soon as he came up, and at one point Luton's goal was almost lost-if it weren't for Preston striker Brown's shot hitting the crossbar, Luton would have lost the ball at the beginning of the game.

Fortunately, after a few minutes of confusion, Luton's formation quickly stabilized, and Preston's offensive was gradually pushed out of the danger zone by Luton.

In the first half of the game, the two sides were caught in a fight in the midfield. Luton got a few opportunities to counterattack directly behind him, but unfortunately he failed to form a shot in the end.

The two sides scored zero to zero in the first half!

The format of the game in the second half also fell into anxiety. After a strong attack in the first half, Preston gradually realized that the result of their pressing too high was to be counterattacked by Luton. Therefore, in the second half, Preston did not press hard. They planned to compete with Luton in the midfield.

Gao Bo was also prepared for such a situation. At the 605th minute of the game No. [-], the game on the field was still tense. At this time, he called Adam to the side.

There were not many Luton fans in the away stands, and they didn't look too excited due to the anxiety of the game.But when Adam stood on the sidelines, the Luton fans immediately lit up. They stood up and chanted Adam's name.

Thanks to the media, Adam is now Luton's most famous player, even though he is only a substitute.

"Did you see their right back?" Gao Bo pointed to a Preston player on the field. "He is 34 years old. Go up to his side to break through. The vision is wider. Don't be too anxious to pass the ball. Pay attention to the positions of our forwards and midfielders! After breaking through, pass the ball in the right position, and don't hesitate when you have a chance to shoot!!"

Adam nodded frequently, and Gao Bo patted him on the shoulder.

Luton made a substitution, Adam came on and replaced left midfielder Lewis Emmanuel.

It was Luton who took the lead in strengthening offensive adjustments. It is hard to imagine that this is a match between a second division team and a Championship team.

After the substitution, Luton's offense really added a lot of vitality.

Preston right back Hart was broken by Adam, the 34-year-old veteran failed to follow the rhythm of the young Adam.

After breaking through from the outside, Adam pressed the ball into the penalty area.

Both Vardy and Charlie Austin were pressing forward in the penalty area, bringing Preston's defense to a small area, while there was a big gap in the arc of the penalty area.

Adam passed the ball upside down to this area.

It was Kante who advanced into this area and shot!He pushed with the arch of his right foot when no one was defending, and the football hit the defender's foot and then refracted into the goal!
Luton's substitution was immediate!
After taking the lead, Luton became more calm in the next game.

In the 801st minute of the game, Kanter steals from the backcourt and distributes the ball to the left. Adam passes by and passes to the back point.

Preston launched the final onslaught in the final moments of the game, but Luton's defense was rock solid, and they withstood the opponent's formula in the final 10 minutes.

In the end, Luton defeated Preston with a score of [-]-[-], approaching the fifth round of the FA Cup!
