Chapter 90

Chapter 87 away to Coventry
When the players from both sides ran out of the player tunnel, the home fans gave the home team's players a huge cheer.

Compared to Worth Stadium, Ricoh Stadium is much bigger.But now Luton's Worth Road Stadium is located in the city center, surrounded by residential areas, and there is no room for expansion. What's more, with the capital of the current poor owner of the team, he can't even pay for the purchase. Can he be counted on to build a new stadium?

John is a little nervous. This is already the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and it will be the quarter-finals if we go further.
Reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup, this is something that a small team like Luton could not have imagined before.

"Can we really enter the semi-finals?" John stood next to Gao Bo, applauding the players from both sides together with Gao Bo.

"Not necessarily!" Gao Bo didn't look back.

uncertain? ! !
John is a little anxious, who vowed to win the FA Cup a few days ago?
Just as John was about to say something, Gao Bo turned around and saw his assistant looking anxious.

"John, there is nothing in this world that is 100% sure. Anything, as long as you are [-]% or [-]% sure, you can do it!"

"You mean we have a [-]-[-]% chance of defeating Coventry?!" John also lacked confidence, probably because he had beaten high-level league teams one after another this season. John always felt that his team would lose against a high-level league team in a certain game. This feeling always made John uneasy.

However, Gao Bo obviously did not suffer from such troubles.

"I mean we have a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning the championship!!" Gao Bo smiled, his face full of confidence.

John's face was stunned, 100% to [-]% certainty is not too big, but looking at the smile on Gao Bo's face, people who don't know think that Luton can win [-]% of the championship.

"John, do you know what is the most important thing on the football field for me?" Gao Bo looked at the players who were already standing in their respective positions. In this game, he still sent out the single forward lineup of the previous game.

John shook his head, who could guess what the talented coach in front of him was thinking?
"It's hope!" Gao Bo said seriously, "When I set a goal, even if there is only a slight hope of success, I will give [-]% to do it!"

"There is only a glimmer of hope for us to win the FA Cup?!" John was shocked again, didn't he still have [-]-[-]% just now.

"You really know how to focus." Gao Bo spread his hands helplessly, "This is just a metaphor. We must win the FA Cup this season, John! We have reasons to do it."

Gao Bo turned around.

"If we win the FA Cup, next season's sale funds will be transferred to signing funds!"

"Do you know what that means?"

John nodded. Of course he understood what this meant. For just one Charlie Austin, a team had already offered a price of 400 million pounds. 400 million pounds was quite a big sum for a team in the Second Division like Luton!And under Gao Bo's "packaging", Charlie's worth still has enough room to rise.

"Get ready for a fight in Europe next season, John!"

John Aston discovers for the first time that the team's head coach has such ambitions
"Players from both sides have already entered the court!" Letkinson grabbed the microphone in the commentary booth.

The four games of the FA Cup quarter-finals will be played in two days. The first kick-off will be Coventry's home game against Luton, and Fulham's home game against Liverpool.

Sky Sports has arranged live broadcasts for these two games, but as the ace commentator, Letkinson specifically asked to explain this one, the confrontation between two non-Premier League teams.

Letkinson really wants to see how far the Luton team can go in the FA Cup.
"The home team sent their strongest lineup! Coleman's team is not stable in the league this season, but they were lucky in the cup. After eliminating Blackburn, they also reached the quarter-finals. The goalkeeper for Coventry in this game is Westwood. The back line is White, Dane, Turner, and Hall. The midfielder is Henderson, Gunnersson, Doyle, and Eastwood. The striker is the partner of Best and Morrison!" Broadcast the starting lineups for both teams.

Gao Bo set his sights on Henderson.

If Gao Bo remembers this player correctly, he is the future midfielder who will take over the captaincy of Liverpool Gerrard, the new captain of the Red Army.Henderson is a product of Sunderland's youth training. During the winter window, the 19-year-old Henderson was rented out by Sunderland to Coventry for training.

Henderson didn't know that he was being followed by Gao Bo. In fact, Gao Bo was not interested in Henderson, because Henderson is also a Premier League youth training. Apart from loan, it may be difficult for Luton to get Henderson to accept transfers and other things.

It's been 10 minutes since the game started.

Gao Bo frowned on the sidelines.He looked at Coleman on the other side. This guy can really let go of the airs of the British Championship team and play a solid counterattack against Luton, a second division team? !
Coventry's current strategy is really to defend and counterattack. They did not pass the midfield for three antennas, but stayed in their own half, waiting for Luton to attack.

"Coventry is playing defensive counterattack now?!" Letkinson was also a little surprised. "They really played defensive counterattack. Coleman put on a defensive posture, waiting for Luton to come up and attack."

Gao Bo was also a little helpless. Before the game, he never thought that his opponent would do this. Anyway, Coventry is also a team in the English Championship. They are two levels higher than Luton. Coleman can put down his airs and shrink his defense just like this.

This gentleman is really flexible.

But the problem is that Gao Bo put up a single striker formation, in fact, he also pays attention to defensive counterattack. After all, this is an away game. In Gao Bo's mind, Coventry has to make a difference at home.

So the current scene is very dull. When two teams that want to play defensive counterattacks meet, the game will become like this.

Now Luton is in control of the ball. He has been in possession of the ball in the backcourt for a while. Luton does not know whether to press it, because Gao Bo emphasized before that this game must be based on defense and must not lose the ball.

Gao Bo saw that the players were impatient, so he pressed his hands down to signal the players to be quiet.

Gao Bo was not in a hurry, even if the game ended in a zero-to-zero match, it would not be a big deal.

This is when the head coaches of the two sides are competing for patience. Whoever can't bear it first will fall into the passive first.

Both coaches are unwilling to easily overturn the pre-match deployment.
