Chapter 245: I Want Both! (105/172) The fifth more begged for subscriptions

Chapter 245 I want them all!

Although the 1-1 scoreline looked in Luton's favour on the surface, Gao Bo was not carried away by the scoreline.

It was just a draw, and even if he returned to his home turf, Gobo would not dare to say that Luton would beat Juventus.

After all, the strength of the opponent is there, a draw away from home, and an away goal is also a good result, but this is still early to advance to the quarterfinals!

'A 1-1 score doesn't mean anything, it's very difficult for us away from home, but it's the same when we come back at home, Juventus are a strong team and we can't let our guard down even at our home stadium. Gao Bo said at a press conference.

'Will Luton continue to invest more resources in the Europa League? How far do you think your team can go in the Europa League. ”

"We're only a third-tier team, I can't answer that question. All I can say is that we will play our part in this arena and we'll see where we go. Gao Bo didn't say "I'm just going for the championship." He doesn't want the team to get more media attention because of this, his team is still a small team and the players are mostly young. Being too exposed to the media spotlight is not good for the team and for these youngsters.

After Gao Bo was interviewed, he walked out of the press room with his front foot, and Ferrara came with his back foot.

The Juventus coach was unhappy and couldn't win Luton at home, which was already extremely embarrassing for Ferrara, and the key thing is that at the end of the game, Juventus was very passive for a while, and they almost didn't even save a draw!

"Everything needs to be seen in the next round! Luton Town are a strong team and I admit we underbeat them before this game and we paid the price. But luckily it was two rounds and we had a chance to overtake the score. A 1-1 score will still have a chance for both sides, but the difference is that Juventus will take Luton Town seriously as a strong team! Ferrara said.

Despite his politeness, his meaning was already obvious.

It was Juventus who had taken the lead so Luton got the draw, and when they got serious in the second leg, Luton would not be their one-in-one enemy!

Some of the English reporters in the press room were sneering, and one of the English reporters was given the opportunity to ask a question, and he couldn't wait to take the microphone.

"Are you saying Juventus can beat Luton Town away from home?"

With a smile on his face, the English journalist waited for Ferrara to answer.

"With the strength of Juventus' squad, although Luton have several good players, there is also a big gap with Juventus. As long as we get serious, we have no problem beating Luton Town away from home! Ferrara said categorically that he must be sure of this, because after a draw, the pressure on Juventus will definitely be great, so as a manager, he needs to stabilize the morale of the army at this time.

"Do you know who were in the last four of last season's Champions League?"

"Of course!"

"Apart from Barcelona, the other three Champions League semi-finalists have all lost to Luton!" The reporter said, and the British reporter at the scene also laughed.

His meaning is obvious, Juventus can't even qualify for the Champions League group stage, and they are vulnering to beat Luton, who won three of last season's Champions League semi-finals!

"It's a different game!" Ferrara said.

Of course, the logic of British journalists is problematic, for example, if the national football team defeated South Korea 1-0, and South Korea won Germany 2-0 in the World Cup, you can't say that the Chinese team is 3-0 Germany - this obviously doesn't make sense.

"You mean Juventus have what it takes to reach the last four of the Champions League or even better?" Isn't this the kind of hard work that journalists are best at?

Sure enough, even the good-natured Ferrara was annoyed, and he didn't answer the question directly, and rose up with his sleeves.

.......

The post-match media also talked about the match.

The Italian media is generally optimistic about Juventus' promotion, after all, Juventus's status is there, and if they are eliminated by a third-tier team in England, the face of the Serie A giants will be there.

"Although Juventus have experienced a lot of turmoil this season, their squad is still quite luxurious, and this away game in England is actually a challenge for the whole Juventus team, but it is also an opportunity. In fact, the draw was drawn to Luton, and many Juventus fans were also very happy, because this was obviously a very good sign, but who would have thought that Juventus, who was fighting at home, would be forced to draw by the opponent, there must be an element of carelessness in this, and the second leg is away from home, after these elements of the light enemy are gone, it is time to show Juventus's true strength! ”

So said Torino Sport after the game.

On the England side, most of the media's opinion is that it depends on how Gao Bo makes his choice.

Whether to continue to put more effort into the Europa League or to reclaim it and play in the league. At the moment, it seems that Gao Bo is ready to continue to invest in the team's main energy in the Europa League.

But what about the league in this way?

The top three teams are alternating in points, Charlton Athletic and Leeds United have been in good form this season, and it will not be easy for Luton to establish an advantage in the league.

Therefore, the English media generally believe that even if Gao Bo's team passes the Juventus hurdle, it will have to make a choice in the quarterfinals!

....

The Luton squad returned to England the following day and on 15 March, three days after the team's return to England, they were away to face Callisle in the relegation zone.

At this point in the fixture, the teams in the relegation zone tend to be the craziest. So Gao Bo didn't dare to underestimate this game, but in order to maintain the physical fitness of the players, he still decided to take a day off.

On 14 March, after a day of training at the training ground, the team took a bus to Calisle in the afternoon.

Facing opponents in this league, Gao Bo made some rotations.

Most of the players who made their debut in the Europa League did not start.

Luton Town came off the bench to face Carlisle, who are deep in the relegation zone.

The team came under tremendous pressure in this game, but thanks to Matt's header and Joseph Ander's long-range shot from the perimeter, the team won 2-1.

Despite the away win, the English media continued to talk about it after the game.

"Three days ago in the Europa League, Gao Bo had to use the substitutes in this game, and when they faced an opponent who was desperate for relegation, Luton Town won very hard. They were given an early goal, then faced the opposition's tight defense, and did not equalize until more than 70 minutes into the second half, and then completed the stunner in the 89th minute of the game - it can be said that it was very difficult to win! ”

"The two-front battle of European competition and league is too heavy for a small team like Luton with a very weak substitute lineup, unless Gao Bo is determined to make a breakthrough in the Europa League, even if he gives up the chance to win the league because of this, otherwise, such a dance on the tip of the knife will hurt himself after all!"

Sky Sports said in the report.

Gao Bo is not as pessimistic as the media says. In fact, even if he plays as a substitute, Gao Bo will not be afraid of any opponent in the First Division.

He's got cards, he's got a very well-organized team, he's got a bench that he's picked out, and he's definitely going to play in the first division and get a foothold.

It's just that in the face of relegation opponents, even if the main force is exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to win easily away from home - England's relegation team is very crazy in the relegation battle, let alone Luton, even if it is a Premier League giant like Manchester United, it may not be easy to play a relegation team away from home.

Regardless, it's still something to celebrate for winning a tough away game with a bench.

Leeds are already quite behind in the league table – they have lacked a backdrop and lost another league game this time.

Now Luton's direct rival is Charlton, and the difference in points between the two sides is only one point!

This season's league championship, Gao Bo will not give up. And the Europa League...... He is even more desperate!

These two champions... He wants them all!
