Chapter 28: Whose Hands Is the Rhythm in Hands?

It was Luton's second home game of the season.

Because of the big win in the first game, the fans are now full of confidence in the team. Compared to the momentum of the first home game of the season, the momentum created by the Luton fans in this game is much stronger.

Gao Bo was not booed. Perhaps out of a desire to make amends, Gobo was greeted with even the loudest cheers when he came out of the tunnel — louder than the team's captain, Kevin Keane.

John Aston happily watched the atmosphere at Warrow Stadium, where not only were all the seats filled, but outside the stadium, fans who could not get tickets gathered on the streets on both sides of the stadium, forcing the city of Luton to send in police to maintain order.

Luton Town last season was deducted 10 points due to financial problems, and the team's morale was in a slump all season, and was relegated to the second division as a result.

It seems that victory is really a good thing, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one victory, and if there is, then two wins!

Gao Bo was still wearing a black blazer, and the crisp shirt completely set off his muscular figure. He smiled and waved to the fans when he heard the cheers of the fans. It seems that he didn't care about the boos of the fans in the first round of the league.

Naturally, the fans responded with even more enthusiastic cheers.

As for Gao Bo, if you want to talk about his feelings for Luton's team now, it is naturally not much....... After all, before becoming the head coach of this team, the only news about Luton that Gao Bo had seen in the newspapers was reports of them being deducted points...

Although Gao Bo is an avid fan, he doesn't find a home team for himself like most people, he generally likes to watch any game, he likes to study the psychology of the players, and likes to study the fighting style of the two head coaches in every game.

Perhaps it was this experience that made him finally choose the profession of football head coach.

Confidence! The win in the first game not only gave confidence to the fans, but also to the players.

Nottingham Forest didn't have all the main line-up for this game, they were half of the main team and the general substitute combination, but on the bench, there were still their core players, and if the game was unfavorable, they would immediately put on the line-up.

It seems that Nottingham Forest are not willing to give up the Carabao Cup early. Although the cup competition is a chicken problem for many teams, it would be a pity to give it up directly.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be easy." John Aston sat on the bench and said to Gobo. He also looked at Billy Davies, who was sitting in the away dugout, a very well-known coach in the lower leagues of England, and although he had no experience in the top flight, Billy Davies was experienced in dealing with the likes of the Championship and League One.

Unlike the average lower English league, Billy Davies' side put more emphasis on possession and delicate coordination, which is an outlier among many English coaches who emphasize speed, confrontation and high balls.

He and Nottingham also look like a match made in heaven, with Nottingham Forest being one of the most exponential figures in the technical stream of English football, much earlier than Arsenal.

"But the atmosphere in the stadium today was good, much better than the first round of the league!" John Aston said.

'If we can keep winning and keep winning, we can hear cheers like this all the time, and it's bigger than that.'

"It's not easy to win all the time, high," John shook his head.

"But our goal in every game is to win, isn't it? It's not easy to win all the time, but how can you know if you don't try? ”

At this time, the players began to line up to enter, and Gao Bo stood up and applauded the players with the fans.

That's right, if the goal of a game is not to win, then what? If you can win, win it!

.........

As expected before the game, Nottingham Forest controlled the football and slowly pushed the formation through the half.

But at this time, Nottingham Forest's manager Billy Davies is frowning.

Although Nottingham Forest now has a large lead in possession, the final result of the game is not more than who has more possession, if you can't send the football into the opponent's goal, even if the possession rate is 100%, it will be a draw at most!

The Nottingham Forest players felt it was a very uncomfortable game.

No matter where they get the ball up front, it feels like the opposing team has to have several more players than their own.

It was difficult to see Luton's formation from the perspective of the players on the pitch, but Billy Davies on the sidelines saw it very clearly.

Dense!

Luton Town are very dense.

And their movement from side to side is very synergistic, like a player with a rope on a leash. As a result, Luton Town has more players than Nottingham Forest in the region where football is played.

It would be nice to be able to transfer it out quickly.

Billy Davis immediately saw the weakness of this formation, but it's one thing to see it, it's another thing to be able to do it.

Because Luton Town is not just moving in formation, Luton is also very good at marking and defending in the face of players with the ball, and there are no Nottingham Forest players who can move the ball out of a wide range under close pressing, and they can protect the ball without losing possession It is already a good job.

Twenty minutes into the game, the game was uneventful, with Nottingham Forest doing a good job of possession, at least so far without any mistakes.

However, Luton fans are still singing and dancing, after all, in the eyes of fans, Nottingham Forest and Luton Town are no longer a team of the same grade - one in the Championship and the other in League Two.

And Gao Bo is not in a hurry, he is very satisfied with the content of the game during this time, the team's defense has done a good job, so far, Nottingham Forest has only been more on the periphery and on the two wings to get some passing space, as for shooting.... Both teams combined had a nil on goal.

Gao Bo's tactics do not emphasize possession, so Nottingham Forest got the vast majority of possession, and Gao Bo was not surprised. For Gao Bo, if you want to win, the first thing you need is defense!

But if you keep defending, you can't win the game.

Gao Bo also knew this, and he looked at the game time. It was the twenty-third minute of the first half. From the start of the game to the present, although Nottingham Forest have won the majority of possession, Gao Bo believes that the tempo of the game is controlled on his side.

Because this is the situation that Luton wants to see, in the face of Luton's formation, Nottingham Forest's possession is like an itch in the boots, and Luton's side has not really made any effort!

Now, it's almost time for a change of pace!
