Chapter 247 Haruko's Worries
On March 19th, in the second round of the Europa League final of the 2009-2010 season, Luton played against Juventus at home.
The weather was good this day, and the sun peeked out of the clouds, and then fell down to the mountains to the west.
When the sun was about to touch the mountain, a bustling crowd was already in front of the stadium.
Luton fans came from all directions and quickly filled this small stadium.
When the stadium lights came on, the players from both sides came to the stadium to warm up with the cheers of the fans.
.....
Gao Bo has already got Juventus' starting list.
Compared with the first round, Juventus's start has not changed much.
The forward line is still Piero with Amauri, Diego behind him, and then three defensive midfielders Marchisio, Sissoko, and Melo.
On the back line, it was Grigra who replaced Chiellini!
Grigra is a Czech defender who can play as a central defender, right back, and sometimes a cameo. In the case of Chiellini's red card suspension, Ferrara chose Grigralai, who was 185 cm tall, to partner with Cannavaro, who was not tall enough, also out of consideration for air defense.
Grosso is still left-back, right-back Caceres, the goalkeeper is naturally Buffon!
Gao Bo curled his lips when he saw this starter.
Ferrara is still so cautious, even if he wants to attack, he is not willing to send forwards...
.....
Ferrara is also watching Luton's starter.
You can't see anything from Luton's starting list, because Luton's starting list is exactly the same as the previous game.
With this lineup, Ferrara couldn't judge whether Luton was going to attack or defend.
Because it seems that Luton's lineup is quite balanced.
Adam's position is very lively. He will be a midfielder when he reclaims, and then Griezmann will play as a shadow forward. Luton is also very good at 442.
And if Adam goes up, and Griezman pulls the side, Luton can immediately become 433.
Luton's tactical changes in a game are still very rich.
However, Ferrara is still convinced that in this game Gao Bo will definitely counterattack defensively, just like they did against Ajax at home!
For Juventus, what they have to do is to advance the ball, and then come back to play a defensive counterattack!
Ferrara now treats Luton as a Serie A opponent!
.....
The players warm up back to the locker room!
Ferrara waited until the last Juventus player entered the visiting team's locker room before speaking.
"I believe everyone knows the importance of this game! If we want to get something this season, there is only this stadium left!"
"You all know the strength of the opponent in the first round. They are definitely not an ordinary third-level team!" Ferrara's expression is very solemn, "I emphasize again! Never underestimate the enemy!!"
Ferrara even said three absolutes, and Juventus's players did not disagree as much as they did in the first round. After the first round, they knew that Luton was not as weak as they thought. Luton's strength still shocked Juventus's players.
"Pay special attention to their counterattack!"
"In this game they will adopt defensive counterattack tactics! Their counterattack threats we have already experienced in the first round! The frontcourt must not make low-level mistakes and give the opponent a chance to counterattack!"
As Ferrara said, the Juventus players also listened carefully.
Ferrara has carefully watched Luton's Europa League game, this team is definitely a very three defensive counterattack team. Luton's defensive organization amazed Ferrara, and their counterattack speed is also shocking.
Vardy, Griezmann and Adam are all fast players, especially Griezmann. This player's ability in the frontcourt is too dazzling. Ferrara is almost certain that Griezmann next season It is definitely the target of the big giants!
At this time in Luton's locker room, Gao Bo was also doing his final mobilization.
"The frontcourt is pressing! This is something we have always done, and everyone is no stranger to it!!" Gao Bo turned the tactical board over, "It's just that in this game, we need to do something crazy!"
"As soon as the game started, we pressed it up and pressed for their ball-handling players. Don't let them pass the ball out of the backcourt!!!"
"Don't be stingy about your physical fitness! From the frontcourt, all are involved in the press!!"
"No matter who of them gets the ball in the backcourt, don't let him relax!"
"After grabbing the ball, immediately hand the ball to Adam, Vardy, and Griezmann in the frontcourt! They will complete the attack!!"
"This game! We use offense to destroy them!"
Gao Bo waved his hand, as if Juventus had been cut off!
Gao Bo's pre-match mobilization soon ended. After the players walked out of the locker room with their heads high, Haruko did not go out with the members of the coaching staff.
"Mr. Gao Bo..."
Haruko stopped Gao Bo!
"What's the matter, Haruko?"
Gao Bo was about to go out too, he turned his head to look at Haruko.
Haruko does not seem to be as shy as usual: "I have observed our training these past few days. I must say that from a medical point of view, our tactical deployment requires too much movement for the players. According to my estimation, their physical fitness can only last until the 60th minute of the second half!"
Gao Bo nodded. He didn't feel offended because Haruko questioned his tactics. Haruko is a master of sports medicine, and she also made comments based on her profession.
But Haruko didn't know that there were such unscientific things as cards...
"Haruko Do you believe that people's spiritual power will affect their own physical state?"
"I know that this is also a very large research subject in kinematics, but the physical fitness of the human body is limited after all. Even if the players force their spirits up, it is just an overdraft of their body!"
Gao Bo thought for a while: "Let's do it, Haruko! I assure you, as long as the players' physical fitness is not enough, I will change my tactics immediately!"
"In fact, I just want to establish a sufficient advantage in the first half of the game!"
Seeing Haruko still worried, Gao Bo explained.
He is not a tyrant and can not tolerate the slightest doubt from others, so Gao Bo will always respect him when the coaching staff members put forward their opinions.
"Hi! Mr. Gao Bo!"
Gao Bo quickly helped Haruko who was bowing ninety degrees up. This Japanese likes to bow wherever he goes...
