Chapter 28 Whose rhythm is in the hands
This is Luton's second home game this season.
Because of the first big victory, the fans are now confident about the team. Compared with the momentum of the first home game this season, the momentum created by the Luton fans in this game is much stronger.
Gao Bo was not booed. Perhaps out of a compensatory mentality, when Gao Bo came out of the player channel, he received the most cheers-bigger than the team's captain Kevin Keane.
John Aston happily looked at the atmosphere of the Wolsiu Stadium. Not only did all the seats in the stadium fill up in this game, but outside the stadium, those fans who could not buy tickets also gathered on both sides of the stadium. On the streets, the Luton City Government had to dispatch police forces nervously to maintain order.
Last season, Luton was deducted 10 points due to financial problems, and the team's morale was in a sluggish state throughout the season. As a result, they were relegated to the second division. They suffered demerits and the main players left. After waiting for a series of negative events, Luton's fans also lost the spirit of the previous period in the British Championship.
It seems that victory is really a good thing. There is nothing that cannot be solved by one victory. If there is, then two victories!
Gao Bo is still wearing a black suit jacket, and his sturdy figure is completely set off by the straight shirt. He was smiling, and when he heard the cheers of the fans, he also waved and greeted the fans. It seems that he doesn't care about the booing of him in the first round of the league.
The fans naturally responded with more enthusiastic cheers.
For Gao Bo, it is not much to say about his current feelings for the Luton team. After all, before becoming the head coach of this team, Gao Bo was the only one in the newspaper. I have seen the news about Luton that they have been deducted...
Although Gao Bo is an avid fan, he did not find himself a home team like most people do. He generally likes to watch all games. He likes to study the psychology of players and the head coaches of both sides in every game. Fighting.
Perhaps this is the experience that made him finally choose the career of football coach.
Confidence! The victory in the first game not only brought confidence to the fans, but also to the players.
Nottingham Forest did not have all the main lineups in this game. They are half of the main lineup, but on the bench, they still have their core players. Once the game is unfavorable, they will immediately go into battle.
It seems that Nottingham Forest is not willing to give up the League Cup early. Although the cup is very tasteless for many teams, after all, it would be a pity to give up directly.
"It seems that this game will not be easy." John Aston sat on the bench and said to Gao Bo. He also looked at Billy Davis, who was sitting on the coaching bench of the away team. He was a very famous coach in the English low-level league. Although he had no experience in coaching a top-level league team, he was dealing with the British championship. Billy Davis has rich experience in competitions at the level of the League.
Unlike the general English low-level leagues, Billy Davis's team emphasizes more ball control and delicate coordination. This is considered an outlier among many English coaches who emphasize speed, confrontation and high-altitude ball. .
He and Nottingham also seem to be a match made in heaven. Nottingham Forest is one of the representatives of English football technology flow, much earlier than Arsenal.
"But the atmosphere of the stadium today is very good, much better than the first round of the league!" John Aston said.
"If we can keep winning, keep winning, we can always hear such cheers, and it's bigger than that."
"It's not easy to win all the time, Gao..." John shook his head.
"But our goal in every game is to win, isn't it? It's really not easy to win all the time, but how can you know if you don't try?"
At this time the players lined up to enter the field. Gao Bo stood up and applauded the players with the fans.
Yes, if the goal of a game is not to win, then what is it for? If you can win, then win!
......
As everyone expected before the game, Nottingham Forest controlled the football and slowly overwhelmed the formation.
But at this time, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, Billy Davis, frowned.
Although Nottingham Forest has a significant lead in possession rate, the final result of the game is not more than anyone else's possession rate. If the football cannot be sent to the opponent's goal, even if the possession rate is 100%, it will be at most. It's just a draw!
Nottingham Forest players felt that the game was very uncomfortable.
No matter where they take the ball in the frontcourt, they feel that the opponent's players have many more players than their own.
It is difficult to see Luton's formation from the perspective of the players on the court, but Billy Davis on the sidelines can see it very clearly.
dense!
Luton's formation is very dense.
And the coordination of their left and right movements is very high, just like a player with a rope tied to Luton. The result of this is that in the area where football is located, Luton has more players than Nottingham Forest.
If only it can be transferred quickly.
Billy Davis immediately saw the weakness of this formation But seeing it is one thing, whether it can be done is one thing.
Because Luton is more than just a movement of the formation, it is also very well done in the face of the players who hold the ball. There is no player from Nottingham Forest who can transfer the ball out of a large area under close pressure. They can protect the ball. It's a pretty good finish without losing the ball.
The game lasted for 20 minutes. The scene was calm. Nottingham Forest did a good job of possession. At least so far they have not made any mistakes.
But Luton fans are still singing and dancing. After all, in the eyes of the fans, Nottingham Forest and Luton are no longer a class of teams-one in the English championship and one in the second.
And Gao Bo is not in a hurry. He is very satisfied with the content of the game during this period. The team's defense has done a good job. Up to now, Nottingham Forest has only obtained some passing space on the periphery and two wing sides. As for Shots.... The two teams add up to zero shots.
Gao Bo's tactics did not emphasize possession of the ball, so Nottingham Forest got most of the ball. Gao Bo was not surprised. For Gao Bo, to win, the first thing you need is defense!
But if you keep defending, the game cannot be won.
Gao Bo knew this too, he looked at the game time. It is the 23rd minute of the first half. From the beginning of the game to the present, although Nottingham Forest has obtained most of the ball, Gao Bo believes that the rhythm of the game is in control of his side.
Because this is the situation Luton wants to see. Facing Luton's formation, Nottingham Forest's possession of the ball is like an itchy boot, and Luton's side has not really exerted its strength yet!
Now, it should be almost time to change the rhythm!
