Chapter 130: Let's Attack a Wave

Gao Bo put his hand in his pocket.

The Liverpudlians celebrated like crazy, with Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso, who were celebrating right under Gobo's nose!

Gao Bo just glanced at them, and then went to pay attention to his players.

Luton's players looked a little flustered, and Gao Bo sighed inwardly.

Some teams have the so-called champion temperament, which is actually a kind of indifference cultivated under the watering of continuous victories and championships.

Obviously, Luton don't have that temperament right now!

That's why they look flustered.

Gao Bo stretched out his hands and shouted Kevin Keane's name loudly, and when Kevin Keane looked over, he made a gesture of pressing his hands down.

Kevin Keane quickly nodded to show that he understood: Hold steady at this time, don't panic!!

The captain on the pitch quickly did what Gao Bo wanted him to do, and he managed to stabilize the morale of the army.

Benitez saw the scene in his eyes.

He spread his hands to his assistant with some regret. If Luton's turmoil continues, Liverpool may be able to take advantage of the win and go on the next one.

From this point of view, I have 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 at the moment, and Luton are basically running out of tricks, right?

Now it's time for Liverpool to play!

Next is Liverpool's attack, Gao Bo has a premonition of the opponent's change at the moment of losing the ball, and when the game resumes, he sees it more clearly, Torres is undoubtedly the strong point of Liverpool's attack, Benitez takes advantage of Luton's constantly moving dense formation, he lets Torres run to the weak side of the defense to receive the pass, and when the football long pass passes, Luton's formation is definitely not as fast as the pass!

What should I do?

Rafael Benitez undoubtedly gave Gao Bo a problem.

If people move over to mark Torres, unless Kante is sent over, it will be difficult for a defender to limit Torres - in fact, even Kante alone will be very difficult, because Torres, a big center forward, has a very strong impact, his physical fitness and skills at his feet are outstanding, which makes Kante go one-on-one with Torres, Kante is really likely to be passed by the other party!

For an offensive player, attacking ten times and one success is fine, but for a defensive player, it only takes one failure to lose it all.

So Gobo didn't risk letting one man defend Torres, and when Torres got up again on the left and was saved by Claude, Gobo hurried to let Kevin Keane over.

"Dense mid lane!! Now we're ahead, let's get past the first half!! ”

Gao Bo looked at the big screen at Wembley Stadium, it was the thirty-fifth minute of the game, and there were a little more than ten minutes left before the end of the first half.

"Just let Jamie and Charlie come back and leave Adam alone in the frontcourt!!"

Kevin Keane nodded repeatedly, and then he quickly returned to the court and laid out Gao Bo's instructions.

Liverpool's corner was taken and Claude leaped high to take the ball down.

He then counter-attacked with a hand-tossed ball, but Adam was defended by Mascherano when he got the ball, and the ball was not taken well and was cut off by Mascherano.

Liverpool continue to attack!!

In the final stages of the first half, Liverpool's attack also became more and more ferocious.

And the best performing Luton player during this period is.... Goalkeeper Claude Rondo!

In the 37th minute of the game, Gerrard finally had the upper hand in the confrontation with Kante, he shot angrily from the top of the penalty area, the football slashed through the air, and flew towards the goal with a sharp cry of friction against the air!!

And this seemed to be an inevitable shot, Claude flew to save, and suddenly the tips of his fingers flicked and the ball was pulled out of the bottom line!

Rafael Benitez was ready to celebrate, but Claude made the Liverpudlians happy.

Claude Rondo!! Oh!!! A thrilling save !! 'Rentkinson was stunned in the stands,' Gerrard's shot looked like it was inevitable, but Claude made a brilliant save on the goal-line and he denied Liverpool's goal!! ”

'Liverpool's attack is coming up at this time and Luton's defence looks a little shaky as evidenced by the fact that their goalkeeper is starting to be tested. Redknapp said from the side.

Gobo was also frightened by Gerrard's shot, but he was relieved when he saw Claude's performance.

"What a beautiful save this one!! Claude's reaction speed is getting faster and faster!! John Aston said excitedly in Gobo's ear.

Gao Bo nodded: "Claude's performance is indeed great. ”

There was another sentence that Gao Bo didn't say.

The effect of the cards is also obvious.....

To be honest, in the face of Gerrard's shot, Claude also saved, 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 goalkeeper to be tested.

Now Luton's formation is a little too flat, and Gao Bo is shouting from the sidelines, telling the players to step up a little!

"Close to their !!"

Gao Bo's blazer had been taken off, and the back of his white shirt was soaked with sweat.

It seems that directing the game is also a manual task...

.

With the last few minutes of the first half remaining, Liverpool's attack continued unabated.

Their attacks were like a tidal wave, one after another.

They pressed Luton back into the box while Gobo shouted from the sidelines, directing every Luton player to push out.

As the situation became passive, Luton's fouls also increased.

Liverpool also had a number of set-pieces in the closing stages.

In the forty-third minute of the game, Torres jumped high in the penalty area and headed the goal!

As a result, the football was saved by Claude again!

"Beautiful!! Pretty offense!! Nice defense!! Lightkinson exclaimed from the commentary bench.

'Both teams showed a high level of tactical quality, Liverpool couldn't find many chances in the open game, but they also thrilled Luton Town from set-pieces, and Claude once again kept the net in good hands!

After this attack, Liverpool could not have threatened more than this.

The first half passed quickly, and when the ball was pushed out of the box by Jeffrey, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half without waiting for Liverpool's touchline ball to come out.

....

In the dressing room, Luton's players looked a little solemn.

Liverpool's ferocious attack in the final stages of the first half left them a little breathless, so much so that when the first half was over, they were still immersed in the state of mind that seemed to be breached at any moment.

The players' expressions were solemn, and Gao Bo had a relaxed smile on his face again.

"We did a good job in the first half, boys!" Gao Bo clapped his hands, and the first thing he said when he came in was praise for the team.

'We went into the break with a one-goal lead and we're now 2-1 ahead of Liverpool!!!'

The players reacted immediately.

yes, we're still ahead!

The solemnity on the faces of Luton's players slowly faded.

Of course, Gao Bo knows that encouragement alone will not make the team win.

"But we were so pressed at the end of the first half!" Gao Bo's expression became serious. "It's good that Claude is doing well!"

Gao Bo praised the goalkeeper. Claude laughed when he heard the coach's praise, and his self-confidence seemed to have improved a lot.

"They're going to go on the attack in the second half!" Gao Bo said with certainty.

In fact, he doesn't know whether Liverpool will attack when he comes up, but no matter whether Liverpool will attack the beginning in the second half, it will have no impact on Gao Bo's next arrangement.

"So we attacked first in the second half!!"

Gao Bo's words startled everyone in the locker room.

This is too abrupt, isn't it?

The players looked at their manager in amazement.
