Chapter 72: Robinho VS Kante
Chapter 72: Robinho VS Kante
The story of the tunnel did not last long, as the referee had already led the players from both sides into the pitch.
Robinho wasn't offended by Vardy's provocation and he still had a confident smile. For him, Vardy is not yet his opponent.
Players from both sides walked onto the pitch, and in a stadium that can only accommodate 10,000 fans, the Luton fans created an atmosphere no less than that of other big clubs.
A huge flag was raised by fans in the stands across the tunnel to the wind, blowing in the wind blowing in from outside the stadium.
Speaking of which, Luton's crest really doesn't have any momentum at all.
Hats, ears of wheat, bread, and two of the most ubiquitous flowers in Luton, the names of which Gao Bo didn't know anyway.
However, when the flag is big enough, it still looks quite imposing.
England fans have always been masters at creating atmosphere.
......
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, audience friends!! The FA Cup game is finally about to begin!! It was Manchester City who kicked off first, and after they got the ball, they passed the ball forward without a try, and now it is Robinho who carries the ball, which is the most expensive player to transfer in the history of the English league!! And he has to face Luton Town, the second division team that created a miracle in the last round of the FA Cup!! This is no ordinary second division team, they have gone from being deducted 30 points for the season to now finish sixth in the second division, and if the season ends now, Luton Town will be eligible for the promotion play-offs in the league!! ”
The person in charge of commenting on the game was Rentkinson, who asked to do so, and his partner was still Redknapp Jr.
"I don't think so, Wright!!" Redknapp clearly disagreed with Lightkinson's statement, "Luton did well in the fourth round, they took out Chelsea, but Chelsea were in a slump at that time, and they were clearly underwhelming, and Golbow's manager used Adam White as a surprise man to great effect. But when they eliminated Chelsea, City would not make Chelsea's mistakes and now that Adam White was on the spotlight, he could no longer be a surprise man. ”
"When a team like Manchester City is serious, Luton Town can't win!" Redknapp said it was categorical.
"Speaking of which, Adam White didn't start this game. But are you really that sure? Lightkinson asked with a grin.
'Of course, I think they can cause some problems for City at best, and Mark Hughes looks like they've found a way to lead City to win lately, and they're on a three-game winning streak in all competitions!' Redknapp said seriously.
Meanwhile, in China, the only Guangdong sports station with the rights to broadcast the FA Cup, is also broadcasting the game live.
"Although we hope that Luton can play well and coach Gao Bo can lead the team to a further step, objectively speaking, the difference in strength between the two sides is quite large!" In the TV broadcast picture, Guangti's commentator He Hongfa said. "You know, just one Robinho is worth more than 40 million!!"
"But football is round, and any outcome of a football game can occur, so let's cheer for Coach Gao Bo's team!! Hopefully, today they can do the same. The game is now on, De Jong is on the ball, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides...."
Just as He Hongfa was about to report the starting lineups of the two sides, there was an exclamation on the court, and then warm applause rang out.
He Hongfa raised his head and saw that the picture just now was already playing back on the TV screen.
Cyclist Robinho stepped on his bike and faced Luton Town's defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante.
Robinho's movements were dashing, he pedaled several bikes in quick succession before preparing to break through to the left of N'Golo Kante.
As a result, Kante could not do what he wanted, and just as Robinho had just made a breakthrough, Kante stretched out his foot and poked the ball away.
Robinho thought it would be easy to get past the harmless Kante on the other side, but the opponent ignored his feint of pedaling, and Kante directly stabbed the ball away. Robinho was tackled and he instinctively wanted to get the ball back, but Kante was very stocky despite his height. Robinho hit N'Golo Kante on the back, but he fell to the ground, only to spread his arms and hope that the referee would award him a set-piece....
However, the referee ignored Robinho, who was sitting on the ground with his arms outstretched and his expression exaggerated. So the Brazilian had to pat his ass and get up.
Kante passed the ball out, because of Gao Bo's request, Kante had to keep an eye on Robinho in this game, so when the ball was broken, Kante stood next to Robinho again, and he did not participate in the attack in the frontcourt.
"Beautiful!! Nice interception!! He Hongfa exclaimed, "Robinho's feints didn't confuse Kante at all!" ”
"What a beautiful defense!! Kante is very accurate on his feet!! His defense was very clean, it was impossible for Robinho to want a foul, and Kante didn't touch him at all when he got down! Lightkinson exclaimed from the commentary box in the stands.
"A beautiful interception indeed!" Redknapp also said on the side.
Robinho glanced at N'Golo Kante, who had just made an interception, and for the first time he was in front of the short Frenchman.
N'Golo Kante was friendly enough to smile back, but he immediately thought of what Gobo was asking of him.
"Fierce...."
Kanter thought for a moment, and then he bared his teeth and tried to make a fierce expression.
But to Robinho, Kante, who bared his teeth at him, was like a sheepdog grinning and wagging its tail.... Kante clearly wanted to look like a ferocious wolf, but it was clear that he failed due to his innate condition.
However, at this time, when Robinho saw Kante's smile, he was not as light as he was in the players' tunnel.
He thinks Kante is provoking him!!
"Don't get carried away, boy!!"
Robinho walked up to Kante and said.
N'Golo Kante is a man of few words, and the person he admires the most is Jamie Vardy, because on the pitch, no matter what the situation, Vardy will never suffer in words, at least in words.
N'Golo Kante struggled to figure out how Vardy would go back if that happened to him.
As a result, before Kante could come up with any results, Robinho ran to the open space to receive the ball.
N'Golo Kante's break gave Luton a chance to attack, but Drinkwater tried to play a long ball behind the City defence only to be headed out by Kompany, who continued to attack with the ball.
N'Golo Kante had no choice but to abandon the verbal exchange and he followed Robinho closely.
