Chapter 77 We Are Better Than Them
Chapter 74 We are better than them

"Jamie Vardy!!! Beautiful goal!!!" Letkinson jumped up from his seat!
When Kante stole Robinho again, he didn't expect to see such a beautiful goal.The style of this goal is too inconsistent with Vardy's image. Even if Vardy exploded on the edge of the penalty area, Letkinson would not be so surprised.

The Worth Road Stadium was completely ignited by Vardy's goal, so fans in orange jerseys jumped from their seats, and the Worth Road Stand raised its arms! !
While running, Vardy saw the football fall into the net. When he turned around with the ball, the opponent's goalkeeper was about to rush to him.

In fact, before Vardy swung his right foot, he was still thinking about a burst shot, but when he saw the opponent's goalkeeper getting closer, he temporarily changed his attention.

Why not give it a shot?

So when Vardy picked up the ball with his toes, he saw the football go over the goalkeeper's head, and he knew the ball was there! !
"Good goal!!! One to zero!!!!" Far away in China, He Hongfa was equally excited, "No one expected that Luton scored the first goal!! If they can eliminate Manchester City, they will be able to break into the quarterfinals of the FA Cup!! This is really a great encouragement for this small team in the Second Division!! They are the biggest dark horses in the FA Cup these few seasons!!!"

"Manchester City's players probably didn't expect that they conceded the ball so early in the first half of the game. With Luton's starting posture, they sent five defensive midfielders, as if they were in a defensive posture, but it was the first half. The counterattack opportunity, Jamie Vardy seized the opportunity and scored the goal!! This is really a beautiful goal. This goal is enough to compete for the best goal of this round of the FA Cup. It is a precise long pass counterattack, a beautiful leading ball, an unparalleled impact, and it is light. The lob!!!" Now Redknapp has completely lost the attitude of not being optimistic about Luton before, and he is now a Luton fan.

"Perhaps the person Manchester City should buy is not Kaka, but Jamie Vardy." Letkinson joked on the side.

Unexpectedly, Redknapp really thought about it carefully: "In my opinion, for Manchester City, Jamie Vardy may really be more suitable than Kaka. This is a natural shooter with a keen sense of smell, active running, and full impact on the opponent's defense!!!"

Letkinson laughed, he was just joking, he definitely did not think that Jamie Vardy is a better player than Kaka: "Now after the goal, Luton's self-confidence has skyrocketed, their morale has greatly increased, and Manchester City seems to have been beaten."

What Letkinson said is right, Manchester City was indeed fooled. They didn't expect that not long after the first half, they conceded a goal first, and the opponent's goal was so beautiful, it can also be seen that it was completely designed through tactics. Vardy's running position, Drinkwater's long pass, and Vardy's handling in front of the goal also let the Manchester City players see Vardy's strength.

This is not a fish belly for them to slaughter.

This goal broke the balance on the field and tilted the balance of victory slightly to Luton's side.

And this goal also completely ignited the passion of the Luton players. They pressed more actively and ran more diligently, as if their physical fitness could be endless.

Of course Gao Bo knows how strong Manchester City's lineup is on the books, but a football game is not a numbers game to compare social status.

If Luton let go of the attack against Manchester City, maybe Luton will die without a burial. Bellamy and Robinho, two strikers with first-class skills and speed, will definitely make Luton's defense lose sight of one another.

In terms of the strength of the players, Luton is definitely not as good as Manchester City, but Luton also has several outstanding players, the most important of which is Kanter. With the increase in cards, the current Kanter is like a trump card in the hands of Gao Bo in terms of statistics. His coverage in the midfield, his running, and his interception ability are all top-notch! !So Gao Bo is very realistic. Based on Kanter's strength and Vardy's characteristics, he used the most commonly used style of play for a weak team against a strong team, defending firmly, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!
Five defensive midfielders, coupled with an excellent interceptor like Kanter, gave Gao Bo the confidence to defend against Manchester City's offense. The role of the five midfielders is to defend.Kante restrained Robinho, and Bellamy was also marked to death. The two most threatening attackers of Manchester City have not had any good chances so far.What really gave him the confidence to play as a lone striker was Vardy's excellent impact. This future Premier League Golden Boot has endless physical fitness.

In the midfield confrontation, facing Luton's tough defense and running without hesitation, Manchester City quickly fell into a disadvantage.Manchester City tried a few long passes, but they were all pushed back to the midfield by Luton's two central defenders. Robinho is not the kind of striker who has three headers at all.

Seeing the game situation on the court, Mark Hughes began to think about the substitutions and adjustments in the second half.It's only 10 minutes into the first half, and it's not time for substitutions yet.Mark Hughes decided to wait and see what a star like Robinho could do.

However, he did not wait for Manchester City's goal, but instead waited for their conceded goal.

In the 308th minute of the game, Luton, who had been defending in the backcourt before, suddenly started a high press.

Manchester City's players couldn't prepare. In the frontcourt, Sabalite was directly intercepted by Drinkwater, and then Drinkwater took a step forward after stealing and completed a long shot.

Faced with Drinkwater's long shot, Manchester City goalkeeper Shay made a save! !

Amid the super-high-decibel cheers at the scene, Vardy rushed into the penalty area like a cheetah, and with a burst shot from the instep, the football hit the net hard! ! !
"goooooooooooooooooal!!!!!! Two to zero!!! It's unbelievable!!! Man City were beaten away by Luton!!! Vardy again!!! He scored twice!!! Brilliant!!!!"

Gao Bo jumped up on the sidelines, raising his arms high, and also jumped up to celebrate, and there were [-] Luton fans at Worth Road Stadium. They also shouted: "Gooooooal!!!!!!"

"This is Luton's second goal. They are in great momentum now. Manchester City, who are playing away, did not expect them to suffer such a heavy blow in the first half. Luton, a team in the Second Division, is going to stage a dark horse counterattack again!! They are now very likely to reach the quarterfinals of the FA Cup!!!"

The voice of Letkinson was carried through the TV screens, and the people who were watching the game applauded Luton's performance, except, of course, the Manchester City fans.
Gao Bo excitedly hugged John to celebrate, and Lin Sen also joined the celebration.

"See, they just put eleven players on the field, and we are a whole!!" Gao Bo stretched out his hand, "They are slaps with five fingers apart, and we are fists tightly clenched by five fingers!!"

Gao Bo clenched his fists: "We are better than them!!! Guys!!!"

Gao Bo really thought so in his heart. Mark Hughes tried hard to give full play to the individual abilities of several Manchester City stars, while ignoring the team as a whole.

Not to mention the current Robinho, even in his peak period, it is very difficult for him to take the ball to single out a complete and solid defense line. The struggle of Manchester City this season has something to do with their tactics.

Mark Hughes is too obsessed with the ability of stars to go it alone.

Of course, that's not to say players can't have their own ideas.In fact, Gao Bo did not strictly restrict the offensive players' running positions and actions on the field. Instead, he encouraged the players to use their imagination and creativity on the field. Sometimes, a genius player's inspiration can solve many problems.

Just like Vardy's lob shot.

However, the prerequisite for the stars to exert their abilities is that the team needs to help them create space for them to fully exert themselves.

Mark Hughes obviously didn't want to understand this, or the transfer fee of hundreds of millions of euros made him go to his head
Gao Bo didn't care about that, he clenched his fist and repeated again: "We are so much better than those Manchester guys!!"
