Chapter 130, we attack a wave
Gao Bo put his hand in his pocket.
The Liverpool people celebrated crazy, Torres, Gerrard, and Harvey Alonso, they celebrated under Gao Bo's nose!
Gao Bo just glanced at them, and then went to pay attention to his players.
Luton's player's expression looked a little flustered, Gao Bo sighed.
Some teams have the so-called champion temperament, which is actually a kind of indifference that has been cultivated under constant victories and champions.
Obviously, Luton now does not have this temperament!
That's why they appear flustered.
Gao Bo stretched out his hands and called out Kevin Keane's name loudly. When Kevin Keane looked over, he made a gesture of pressing his hands down.
Kevin Keane nodded quickly to express his understanding: At this time, be steady and don't panic! !
The captain on the court quickly completed what Gao Bo wanted him to accomplish, and he successfully stabilized the military.
Benitez saw this scene in his eyes.
With some regret, he spread his hands towards his assistant. If Luton's panic continues, Liverpool may be able to win and pursue another victory.
From this point of view, I met an opponent today!
Benitez pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He has calmed down now. He is only one goal behind, and Luton's tricks are basically exhausted, right?
Next, it's time for Liverpool to play!
Next came Liverpool's offense. Gao Bo had foreseen the change of the opponent at the moment of losing the ball. When the game restarted, he saw it more clearly. Torres is undoubtedly the strong point of Liverpool's offense. Benitez used Luton to continue. The moving close formation, he let Torres run to the weak side of the defense to receive the pass, and when the football passes, Luton's formation is definitely not as fast as the pass!
What should I do now?
Benitez undoubtedly posed a problem for Gao Bo.
If someone moves to guard Torres, unless it's Pacante, it is difficult for a defensive player to restrain Torres-in fact, it will be very difficult even if it is Kanter alone, because Torres is a big center. His impact is very strong, his physical fitness and skills at his feet are outstanding, which makes Kanter go one-on-one with Torres, Kanter is really likely to be overtaken by the opponent!
For an offensive player, it is good to attack ten times and one success is good, but for a defensive player, as long as there is one failure, all will be lost.
So Gao Bo wouldn't risk letting one person to defend Torres. When Torres kicked the goal again on the left and was thrown out by Claude, Gao Bo quickly let Kevin Keane over.
"Dense in the middle!! Now we are leading, let's talk about it after the first half!!"
Gao Bo looked at the big screen at Wembley Stadium. It is the thirty-fifth minute of the game, a little more than ten minutes before the end of the first half.
"Let Jamie and Charlie come back and leave Adam alone in the frontcourt!!!"
Kevin Keane nodded again and again, and then he quickly returned to the court to arrange Gao Bo's instructions.
Liverpool's corner kick came out, Claude leaped high and took the ball off.
Then he tossed the ball and launched a counterattack, but when Adam took the ball, it was defended by Mascherano. The ball failed to get it and was cut off by Mascherano.
Liverpool continue to attack! !
In the final stage of the first half, Liverpool's offense became more and more fierce.
And the best Luton player during this time is...goalkeeper Claude Rondo!
In the 37th minute of the game, Gerrard finally got the upper hand in the matchup with Kanter. He shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the football passed through the air, with a sharp cry of friction with the air, flying towards Goal! !
And this seemingly inevitable shot, Claude flew to save it, and suddenly swiped the tip of his finger to get the ball out of the baseline!
Benitez was ready to celebrate, but Claude made Liverpool people happy for nothing.
"Claude Rondo!!! Oh!!! A thrilling save!!!" Letkinson was taken aback in the stands. "Gerald's shot seems to be inevitable, but Clos De made a brave save on the goal line and he rejected Liverpool's goal!!"
"Liverpool's offensive is about to come up during this time, Luton's defense seems to have been impacted a little unstable, and their goalkeeper has begun to be tested is proof." Redknapp said from the side.
Gao Bo was also frightened by Gerrard's shot, but he was relieved when he saw Claude's performance.
"This shot is so beautiful!! Claude, the kid reacts faster and faster!!" John Aston said excitedly in Gao Bo's ear.
Gao Bo nodded: "Claude's performance is really great."
There is one more word Gao Bo didn't say.
The effect of the card is also very obvious...
To be honest, Claude also rushed out against Gerrard's shots, and Gao Bo felt that a large part of the credit was due to that card.
But the game can't be won by the goalkeeper alone, and it's not always the goal to test the goalkeeper.
Now Luton's formation is a bit too flat, Gao Bo greeted loudly from the sidelines to make the players stand up!
"Get close to them!!!"
Gao Bo's suit jacket has been taken off, and the back of his white shirt has been soaked with sweat.
It seems that commanding the game is also an individual task...
.
There were only a few minutes left in the first half, and Liverpool's offensive continued unabated.
Their offense was like a tide, wave after wave.
They pushed Luton back into the penalty area, and Gao Bo shouted loudly from the sidelines, directing every Luton player to come out.
As the situation became passive, Luton fouled more.
Liverpool also got a lot of set-piece opportunities in the final stage.
For the 43rd minute of the game, Torres jumped high in the penalty area and headed the goal!
As a result, the football was thrown out by Claude again!
"Beautiful!! Beautiful offense!!! Beautiful defense!!" Letkinson admired in the commentary.
"Both teams have demonstrated extremely high tactical qualities. Liverpool did not find many opportunities in the sports battle, but they also shocked Luton in terms of set-piece offense, and Claude's brilliant play once again kept the goal safe. !"
After this attack, Liverpool did not have a better offensive threat.
The first half of the game quickly passed. When the football was pushed out of the penalty area by Jeffrey referee did not wait for Liverpool's sideline ball to come out and blew the first half. The whistle at the end of the game.
...
In the locker room, Luton's players have a serious expression.
Liverpool's fierce attack at the end of the first half made them breathless, so that when the first half ended, they were still immersed in the state of mind that the goal would be broken at any time and did not come out.
The players have serious expressions, but Gao Bo puts on a relaxed smile on his face again.
"We did a good job in the first half, boys!" Gao Bo clapped his hands. The first sentence he came in was to praise the team.
"We entered the intermission with a one-goal lead. We are now leading Liverpool two to one!!"
The players also reacted immediately.
Yes, we are still ahead!
The solemnity on the faces of Luton's players slowly disappeared.
Gao Bo knows, of course, that encouragement alone cannot make the team win.
"But we were suppressed too much in the final stage of the first half!" Gao Bo looked serious. "Fortunately, Claude performed well!"
Gao Bo praised the goalkeeper. Claude laughed after hearing the coach's praise, his confidence seemed to have improved a lot.
"They will definitely continue to attack in the second half!" Gao Bo said with certainty.
In fact, he doesn't know whether Liverpool will attack or not, but whether or not Liverpool will attack the beginning of the second half, it has no effect on Gao Bo's next arrangement.
"So we attacked in the second half!!"
Gao Bo's words shocked everyone in the locker room.
Is this turning point too abrupt?
The players looked at their head coach in surprise.
