Chapter 88: Don't miss the opportunity
Chapter 88
Ricoh Stadium Dragon is shrouded in the drizzle, making the entire stadium look a bit boring.
The Coventry fans were still fighting before the game, but now they are a little absent-minded. The situation on the court is really hard to say, and both teams seem to be a little bit aggressive.
Coventry did not attack, Luton also only had Vardy as a striker to pass the half.
There was a person on the sidelines who looked very excited, Gao Bo danced on the sidelines, let the team stabilize the defense...
This is because just a few minutes ago, the team seemed a little overwhelmed. Luton is a very young team. The emotions of the young players are not so easy to calm down. So a few minutes later, Luton's players a little bit want to push the offensive, but because of the high wave before the game did not expect By the time Coleman will put on such a defensive counterattack at home, Luton's formation is not for offense.
Coventry seems to want to compete patiently with them.
"The opponent is not attacking at all..." John was a little worried. After all, Luton was not ready to attack the position in the deployment before the game. This time the team also placed a 451 formation and piled up in the midfield. With a group of defenders, Vardy is a striker at the forefront.
"Don't worry, John, this is the away game. Our pressure is not as great as the other party..." Gao Bo turned his head back, his face still with the full-fledged expression on his chest.
At this time, Lewis-Emanuel had the urge to dribble the ball through halftime. Gao Bo hurriedly stopped after seeing it: "Don't worry, Lewis!!! Pass the ball!!!"
Coleman on the other side clearly heard Gao Bo's words, and he was also a little helpless. It seems that the game did not go as he intended.
In Coleman's view, Gao Bo is really too young to speak, and his team's average age is only about 21 years old, this is definitely a very young team, against such a team, Coleman is naturally The preconceived belief is that with such a young team, coupled with the fact that their head coach is so young, the opponent naturally does not have much patience.
And after beating Chelsea and Manchester City in a row, Luton's team is somewhat swollen. Facing the current situation, they must be the first party that can't stand their temper....
But the young man in front of him is much more patient than he thought...
The game has started for nearly twenty minutes, and the two sides have not shot a goal.
The negative attitude of the two teams made the fans at the scene a little dissatisfied. For the fans of Coventry, the performance of Coventry at home is really too embarrassing.
In the nineteenth minute of the game, after Luton made another bigfoot attempt to find Vardy, Coventry took the ball back.
But in the face of Luton's posture that he immediately retracted back, Coventry was not in a hurry to attack, they began to fall behind...
"Both teams seem to be very...cautious! Coventry at home played a stable counterattack posture, while Luton used the lineup they defeated Manchester City in the previous round, Vardy top At the forefront, but didn't get more support. The other Luton players didn't pass the halftime at all." Letkinson was a little disappointed. The game is really not exciting so far.
Gao Bo has been standing on the sidelines, focusing entirely on the unfavorable game. He is waiting...waiting for a suitable opportunity!
There were sporadic boos in the stands, and at this time the ball-in-hand party was...Coventry!
This sporadic booing seemed to be the fuse, and the Coventry fans who had long been reluctant to make progress on the team suddenly booed their own team.
For England fans, their loyalty to the team is quite high, no matter the victory or defeat, they always stand with the team. But the most unbearable thing for the English people is the scene before them, they can't tolerate the team's "not enterprising"! !
If the opponent is a strong team in the Premier League, perhaps Coventry fans can understand, but now the opponent is clearly a second division team, and Coventry is two levels higher than the opponent, facing such an opponent , Has not had the courage to attack, no wonder the fans are quite dissatisfied.
"Take it out!! Have you eaten yet?!!!"
"Coleman!! You are not a bastard!!"
"I'm so fed up!!"
...
Booing from the stands, Coleman could still hear the verbal abuse from the fans behind him. This is also normal. Since Coventry has been coaching for two seasons, Coventry has always missed the promotion of the Premier League. Fans have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with him. With this opportunity, they are just venting their accumulated dissatisfaction. Just come out.
Coleman has a dark face. There is little hope for Coventry to upgrade this season, but now the team has reached the quarter-finals in the FA Cup and can enter the semi-finals by defeating Luton, at least from Judging from the cup results, Coleman is still very good.
Of course, the fans can't understand Coleman's painstaking arrangement, but Coleman knows that the opponent is just waiting for Coventry to attack.
Look at the formation of the opponent, 451! That cunning Chinese just wants to fight back on the road!
In any case, you can't fall into the other party's favorite rhythm, you must be calm! !
Coleman automatically blocked the fans' boos.
It's just that Coleman can turn a blind eye to the booing of fans, and Coventry players can't do that.
Henderson took the ball, opposite Luton's bronze wall and iron wall, according to Coleman's previous deployment, he should continue to pass back.
But at this time, Coventry forward Morrison was a little lonely, he cut in front of the wing, and then raised his hand for the ball.
Booing from the stands made Henderson a little upset.
is just a team in the second division, do you need to be so cautious?
The players in Coventry also don't take it seriously. The FA Cup has an upset every year. Perhaps this year's upset is a bit bigger, but what can it mean?
The second division team is after all the second division team!
Henderson made a decision. He looked in the direction Morrison was running. These two are good friends, and naturally they also have a good understanding.
Morrison knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Henderson's head up, and the fast Morrison ran straight forward. And Henderson sent a long pass directly!
The previous flat situation made Luton's players relax their vigilance. Morrison received the ball smoothly, and then he cut through the full back Solo Davis, and completed a shot from the edge of the penalty zone! The football rubbed the other side of the post and got the bottom line!
"Morrison!!! A sudden attack from Coventry, Morrison completed a shot!!!"
Coventry's sudden shot made the boos in the stands suddenly turned into cheers Gao Bo was also taken aback by Morrison's shot this time, but he reacted quickly.
Is this the opponent's pre-arranged attack, or the player's temporary intention?
Gao Bo looked at Coleman on the other side. When he saw Coleman's reaction, Gao Bo was convinced that this was an improvisation by the players on the court!
Coleman looked worried, he pressed his hands down and shouted at the players on the court: "Don't worry!!!"
Just under the cheers of Coventry fans, I don't know how many people hear Coventry's shouts. Maybe the Coventry players don't want to hear it.
Gao Bo was a little excited, but he decided to observe.
Coventry's offense soon came again, this time the number of people involved was a little bit more, their two forwards joined in.
Gao Bo focused on the performance of Coventry's defense and midfield.
Except for Henderson, no one passed halftime, and there was a quiet disconnect between Coventry's offensive line and the midfield line!
This is the opinion of some Coventry players! !
Gao Bo made his judgment immediately!
He looked at Coleman, who was extremely anxious!
Don't miss the machine! !
"N'Goro!!!" Gao Bo's voice was much louder than Coleman's. After all, he was so young, he roared loudly, even overshadowing the cheers made by the Coventry fans on the spot!
His voice was heard by the Luton players on the court, and Gao Bo made a gesture!
This is a signal to fight back!
The faces of the players are also excited! ! !
They looked at each other's goal, and Kanter quietly got close to Morrison...
