Chapter Fifty-Seven: Let's Go! Adam!!
Chapter Fifty-Seven! Adam!!
'As soon as the second half came up, Chelsea made a substitution!! He Hongfa sat in the live broadcast room and said excitedly, "With a second division team, being able to force Scolari to this extent is enough to show Coach Gao Bo's ability!" ”
The substitution at half-time showed that Chelsea did not play well in the first half, which led Scolari to make adjustments at the start of the second half.
"Didier Drogba played.... He replaced it.... Joe cole!! ”
'Chelsea now have two centre-forwards on the pitch and the pressure on Luton Town will be even higher in the second half!! Let's see what kind of response Coach Gao Bo will make! ”
How will Gao Bo respond?
After Drogba came on the pitch, Gao Bo was indeed a little nervous, and the Ivory Coast Warcraft is famous, and he was a little worried that George Parker and Jeffrey would not be able to stop the impact of the powerful center.
Scolari sat in the dugout, and only after Drogba came on the pitch did the veteran Brazilian coach remember that after being interrupted by Abouyi, he himself forgot about the positions of Drogba and Anelka....
'Chelsea are really going to play as two strikers!!
Drogba didn't care what Anelka thought, anyway, after he came on the field, he naturally stood in the center forward position.
Anelka is also helpless about this, but the Frenchman is also reluctant to let him play on the wing.
Frank Lampard, the big man in the team, also had a headache, Joe Cole was replaced, the two central forwards in the front field were unwilling to pull the side, and the manager did not make it clear in the fifteen-minute break, which made a big gap on the right side of Chelsea.....
In the end, it was Frank Lampard who coordinated the relationship within the team, sending Mikel to play on the right of midfield, with Deco dragging in the last and Lampard himself in front of Deco.
As a result, Chelsea's position is 442 in a diamond position in midfield, with two centre-forwards at the front.
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, his hands in his trouser pockets, but his expression was not relaxed.
Scolari was ready to lash out at the unsolicited players on the pitch when he saw his position on the pitch, but when he walked out of the dugout and saw the appearance of Gao Bo, he changed his mind.
Since the opposing manager is so jealous of Chelsea's two-striker... Then it doesn't hurt to try!
Gobo didn't know that his expression had caused the Chelsea boss to change his mind, and in fact, his concern was not unreasonable.
With a two-striker front line, Chelsea began to exploit their wing-based strengths.
Ashley Cole and Malouda were paired with Kevin Keane and Mitchell Piran, and Chelsea dominated the individual quality.
The biggest weakness of Luton's squad is the weakness of the wings, because although the individual strength of several full-backs is not bad in the second division, compared with Premier League opponents, especially teams with super strong squads like Chelsea, Luton's wings will have big problems.
Malouda picked up the ball and drew Kevin Keane's defence before sending a through ball wide to the wing.
Ashley Cole, who was inserted in the back, was already hungry and thirsty, and Scolari's style of play completely suppressed the full-back with a striker's heart, and this time after the 442, the front court once again gave Ashley Cole the grassland to gallop.
Mitchell Piran was comfortably cleared by Ashley Cole, and then he couldn't keep Ashley Cole for a foul on his preparation.
Fortunately, captain Kevin Keane is experienced and he made up for the lost position of Mitchell Piran.
However, Ashley Cole had no intention of continuing to rush forward, he passed the ball with his left foot and the ball flew into the box!
"Drogba !!!"
Jeffrey found himself completely at a disadvantage against Drogba, the opponent was very experienced and easily gave up his position, although the young Jeffrey bounced well, but in the absence of the position advantage, it was difficult for him to bounce well. What's more, in the case of a head-on confrontation, Jeffrey is too much worse than Drogba!
Drogba leaps high and flicks his head at goal!!
Gao Bo felt like his heart was going to stop!!
I still underestimate Chelsea.... When Chelsea reverted to their familiar routine, Luton Town were indeed completely overpowered by their opponents...
However, Jeffrey and George Parker still interfered with Drogba's header, and Drogba, who touched the ball for the first time after coming on the pitch, did not feel too good, and he headed the ball a little higher.
Still, it scared the Luton players enough.
Jeffrey is completely inferior in the confrontation with Drogba, facing this Ivorian monster, the young Jeffrey is not as good as Drogba on the opposite side in terms of physical strength, game experience, and technical level...
Jeffrey bit his back to his feet, and when he fought Drogba in the air, he felt like he was fighting against a real monster!
Gao Bo actually guessed this result, although Jeffrey has a card bonus, but if he wants to win the direct confrontation with Drogba, the eighteen-year-old Jeffrey is still far behind.
Seeing the eyes of little Jeffrey looking at the sidelines, it was like a beaten little beast habitually trying to find shelter from an adult beast....
Gao Bo held out his thumb and smiled at Jeffrey.
Jeffrey, whose self-confidence had been shaken a little, stood firm again.
The coach thinks I'm doing a good job!!
That's right!!
I did a good job, at least Drogba didn't score!!
Jeffrey's fighting spirit has not collapsed, but Gao Bo knows that he cannot let his central defender be directly exposed to the impact of the opponent's powerful center forward.
The midfielders have to do more.
"N'Golo!! Pay attention to the side lane!! ”
Gao Bo shouted at Kante! In the Luton team, Gobo's most trusted defensive player is still N'Golo Kante. The fit-bodied N'Golo Kante is able to cover most of the backline.
Now that Chelsea are threatening from the wings, they will certainly continue to play on the wings. When the flanks are in a hurry, the two midfielders need to assist on the flanks.
Chelsea soon made a comeback and Ashley Cole raced high speed down the flank, and just as he was about to cross it, N'Golo Kante snatched the ball away from Ashley Cole's feet with a solid tackle, and Ashley Cole was brought to the ground by Kante.
Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief, Kante's physical fitness is very good, which also allows him to run almost all over the field, Kante, who has super interception ability, is a defensive patch for Luton, and he can post wherever he needs to....
But even if there are no longer as good crosses as they used to, Chelsea can still find space for crosses.
Chelsea threatened more than they did in the first half, with Didier Drogba's presence looming and the physicality of the centre-forward in the box often seen him smash the ball back in the spot.
Luton's defence is in jeopardy!!
Gobo stood on the sidelines and couldn't hold back when he saw Didier Drogba flick the ball towards Luton's goal with another header......
The ball deflected off the post, and Gao Bo yelled at the sidelines.
"Adam!! Go warm up!! ”
Hearing this, Adam immediately put on his training vest excitedly and ran to the sidelines.
"That's my brother!! My brother is coming!! In Luton's fan zone, Alan White got up from his seat excitedly wearing Adam's number 22 shirt.
"When you go up, you get the ball and you !! You are free to move around, you can go either on the left or on the right!! After the break, the pass or the shot, you act on your own!! A few minutes later, Gao Bo put his arm around Adam's shoulder on the sidelines and whispered in his ear.
"Remember!! Don't be afraid of them!! Ashley Cole's speed definitely can't keep up with you!! Do you understand?!! ”
"Got it!! Top dog!! ”
Adam's face was full of excitement!!
Gao Bo patted the seventeen-year-old boy on the shoulder.
"Let's go!! Adam! ”
