Gao Bo didn't see John's worries; he was in high spirits at the moment.
He gathered these players, formed a team, and instilled his tactical ideas into them. Now, his tactical ideas have proven to be effective on the field and capable of winning games!
What could be more satisfying than this?
Gao Bo forcibly interrupted the feeling of satisfaction in his heart.
He once read a sentence and deeply agreed with it.
Satisfaction is the beginning of a downward spiral!
I don't need satisfaction!
I am always hungry!
Gao Bo drove the little satisfaction in his heart to the distant clouds.
It's just a small team like Basel. Even Barcelona will be technically knocked out by me in the future!!!
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field: "Play like this!!! Don't relax!!!!!!"
.....
Basel's players were a bit anxious; they were eager to equalize the score after conceding a goal.
However, at this time, the game became fragmented, which was the rhythm Luton liked, but for Basel, it meant that their offense was completely unable to be organized.
What was even more deadly was that...
Their offense couldn't be organized, and their defense also frequently had problems.
In the eighteenth minute of the game, Luton intercepted the ball again and launched a counterattack. Adam White's shot in the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper, and then Drinkwater's long shot on the edge of the penalty area went high.
In the twenty-sixth minute of the game, Luton's counterattack came again!
This time it was even more dangerous!!
Vardy almost formed a one-on-one opportunity, but when he turned around, he was tackled by goalkeeper Costanzo along with the ball.
Luton's players protested that the opposing goalkeeper's tackle was a foul, but the referee didn't make any indication.
Gao Bo looked very angry on the sidelines, and he jumped up directly.
"This is our home ground!!!!!"
It's just a pity that the referee and the fourth official ignored him.
On the other side, Basel coach Thorsten Fink didn't have the energy to argue with Gao Bo; his team was now very passive.
Their offense couldn't be organized, and their defense frequently had problems.
If this continued, it was only a matter of time before they conceded a second goal.
So Thorsten Fink quickly responded, and Basel also stopped pressing forward.
They decided to drag out the remaining ten minutes of the first half first, and then Thorsten Fink would find a way to attack in the second half.
The wish was beautiful, but reality gave Basel's players a blow.
Basel's initiative to slow down the pace and then hoard the backcourt did allow them to spend more than ten minutes in safety.
But in the forty-fifth minute, Luton's formation began to press forward, directly launching a press on the edge of Basel's penalty area.
In the stoppage time stage, Drinkwater intercepted the ball and then passed it to Adam White's feet on the left.
Adam prepared to dribble past the defender and then cross, but he was tripped to the ground, and the referee awarded a free kick in the frontcourt.
Griezmann took the free kick and kicked the ball towards the middle.
Veteran Sol Campbell rose high in the penalty area and headed the ball into Basel's goal!!
Two to zero!!!
Then the referee blew the whistle to end the first half without waiting for the game to restart.
....
During the halftime break, Thorsten Fink probably said something in the locker room, which made Basel's players almost attack with red eyes when the second half began!
Basel is now not pursuing any ground cooperation; instead, they are launching crosses through the flanks.
It's just that Basel is obviously not a team that is good at attacking in this way, and after giving up their original advantages, Basel's offense has also become more chaotic.
Thorsten adjusted Basel's offensive style through substitutions.
In the fiftieth minute of the game, Thorsten made the first substitution.
Right winger Almerares came on, replacing midfielder Stocker.
After the substitution, Basel's style of play became more direct. Almerares sought crosses after dribbling past defenders on the wing, and Basel's other winger, Carlitos, also frequently kicked from the wing.
Gao Bo crossed his arms. He didn't expect the opponent to suddenly change his tactical style so thoroughly, but after Gao Bo saw the two Basel forwards in the penalty area, he knew that Basel's trick wouldn't work.
It's difficult for them to display their most Good at ball possession tactics, and they want to try their luck with crosses?
This will only make their players more chaotic.
Gao Bo sat back in the coach's seat, and he was already preparing to make substitutions.
Midfielder Nick Ross stood on the sidelines.
This is a player that Gao Bo promoted from the youth training camp. He is nineteen years old this year, strong, has good foot skills, and especially has a well-trained cross.
Gao Bo plans to have him substitute for Kevin Keane.
He is also going to replace Kevin Keane. Kevin Keane has been playing almost full time during this period, so Gao Bo decided to replace Kevin Keane and let him rest a little.
Kevin didn't have any objection to being replaced. He took off the captain's armband and ran to the backcourt to put it on Sol Campbell.
The team currently has two captains, Kevin Keane and George Parker. Now that neither of them is on the field, it is no problem for Kevin to give the captain's armband to the oldest Sol Campbell.
The substitution was quickly completed, and Nick Ross couldn't wait to high-five the captain before rushing into the field. This is his first appearance this season.
After coming on the field, Nick Ross quickly showed his role. He first returned to the wing to defend, and then rushed along the wing to the frontcourt. After receiving Drinkwater's long pass, he looked at the situation in the penalty area and crossed.
"Beautiful!!"
Wright Kinsey's eyes also lit up.
Nick's cross drew an arc, and the ball, height, and line were perfect.
Vardy headed the ball very comfortably in the middle of the penalty area, which also allowed Luton to score the third goal of the game.
After this goal was scored, Luton had already secured the victory.
Next, Gao Bo continued to make substitutions.
Hassan Ali came on, replacing Adam White.
After that, Gao Bo also made adjustments on the front line. Vardy, who had run for most of the game, was replaced, and Matt stood on the sidelines preparing to play.
In the final stage of the game, Gao Bo completely treated the game as a training ground for players.
"Gao Bo has sent on several young players who have played less. In the second half of the game, Luton has completely controlled the game. Basel has been technically knocked down at the Vauxhall Road Stadium, and they seem to have no room to fight back."
Wright Kinsey sat down in the commentary box. At this stage of the game, there is basically nothing too much to see in the remaining time unless Basel can score a goal.
Basel's players were indeed working hard; they wanted to do this.
Basel originally thought that after Luton made substitutions, they might be able to get some opportunities.
However, the process of the game made their hearts gradually turn cold.
In the end, Basel completely tried to threaten Luton's goal with a long pass and lobbing style of play. As a result, they had not achieved any results, and Luton's counterattack threat made Basel break out in a cold sweat.
In the end, they could only prevent the defense line from pressing forward on the one hand, and also wanted to score at least one goal to save face on the other hand.
It's just that until the end of the game, Basel was unable to get their wish.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the misty drizzle still shrouded the stadium.
It's just that the English weather... seemed even colder. ...
