Chapter Eighty-Eight: Don't Miss the Opportunity

The Ricoh Arena dragon is shrouded in a drizzle, making the whole stadium look a little boring.

The Coventry fans were still in high spirits before the start of the game, but now they are also looking a little absent-minded, and the situation on the pitch is really hard to say, and both teams seem to be a little unmotivated.

Coventry City didn't attack, and Luton Town only had one striker past half-time.

There was a person on the sidelines who seemed very excited, and Gao Bo danced on the sidelines, allowing the team to stabilize the defense...

That's because just a few minutes ago, the team seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Luton Town is a very young team, and the young players are not so easy to calm down, so after a few minutes, Luton's players are a little eager to press up and attack, but because Gao Bo did not expect Coleman to put on such a counterattack posture at home before the game, so the current Luton formation is not used for attacking.

Coventry City look like they're going to be up for patience.

"The other party won't attack at all.." John was a little worried, after all, in the pre-game deployment, Luton were not ready for attacking positional battles, and the team also set up a 451 formation this time, piling up a group of defenders in midfield, and putting Jamie Vardy at the front of the attack.

"Don't worry, John, it's away. The pressure on us is not as great as that of the other party..."Gao Bo turned his head, his face still with the same expression on his face.

At this time, Lewis Emmanuel had the urge to dribble the ball across the half court, and Gao Bo saw it and hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, Lewis!! Pass the ball out!! ”

Coleman on the other side clearly heard Gao Bo's words, and he was also a little helpless, it seems that this game did not go according to the situation he envisioned.

In Coleman's view, Gao Bo is really too young, and the average age of his team is only about twenty-one years old, this is definitely a very young team, against such a team, Coleman is naturally preconceived that such a team composed of young people, coupled with their head coach is so young, the other party naturally does not have much patience.

And after beating Chelsea and Manchester City in succession, Luton's team is somewhat inflated, and in the face of the current situation, they must be the side that can't bear to attack first....

But the young man in front of him was much more patient than he thought...

The game has been going on for almost twenty minutes and both sides have yet to have a shot on goal combined.

The negative attitude of the two teams made the fans at the scene a little dissatisfied, and for the Coventry fans, Coventry at home showed too much cowardice.

In the 19th minute, Coventry got the ball back after another big foot attempt by Luton to find Jamie Vardy to no avail.

However, in the face of Luton's immediate retreat, Coventry City was not in a hurry to attack, and they began to fall in the back....

"Both teams are very... Caution! Coventry at home put on a solid counter-attack, while Luton Town continued with the same line-up they had beaten Manchester City in the previous round, with Jamie Vardy leading up front, but not getting more support, with the rest of the Luton players not getting past half at all. "Lightkinson was a little disappointed, and it really wasn't a good match so far.

Gao Bo has been standing on the sidelines, his attention is completely focused on the not exciting game, he is waiting.... Wait for the right moment!

Sporadic boos began to erupt in the stands, and at this time the side in possession of the ball was... Coventry!

This sporadic boo seemed to be the fuse, and Coventry City fans, who had long been reluctant to make progress towards the team, suddenly booed their own team.

For England fans, their loyalty to the team is quite high, and they always stand with the team regardless of victory or defeat. But what the English can't stand the most is the scene in front of them, they can't tolerate the team's "lack of progress"!!

If the opponent is a strong team in the Premier League, maybe Coventry fans can understand, but now the opponent is obviously a second division team, and Coventry is two levels higher than the opponent, in the face of such an opponent, there is no courage to attack, it is no wonder that fans are quite dissatisfied.

"Get out!! Didn't you eat?!! ”

"Coleman!! You no-flop guy!! ”

"I've had enough!!"

.....

Boos erupted from the stands, and Coleman could hear the fans behind him cursing at him. This is also normal, Coventry has always missed out on promotion to the Premier League for two seasons in charge, and fans have long accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with him, and now they are just taking this opportunity to vent their accumulated dissatisfaction.

Coleman has a black face, Coventry has little hope of promotion this season, but now that the team has reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, they only need to beat Luton Town to reach the semi-finals, at least judging from the results of the cup competition, Coleman is still very good.

Of course, the fans couldn't understand Coleman's painstaking arrangement, but Coleman knew that the opponent was just waiting for Coventry to attack.

Look at the formation of the other party, 451! That cunning Chinese just wants to fight back away from home!

In any case, you can't fall into the rhythm that the other party likes, and you must calm down!!

Coleman automatically blocked out the fans' boos.

It's just that Coleman can turn a blind eye to the boos of the fans, and Coventry's players can't do that.

Jordan Henderson got the ball opposite Luton, and according to Coleman's previous deployment, he should continue to pass back.

But at this point, Coventry City striker Morrison couldn't bear the loneliness, he cut forward on the flank, and then raised his hand for the ball.

Boos erupted in the stands, which upset Henderson as well.

It's just a team in the second division, do you need to be so cautious?

The players in Coventry City are also unimpressed, the FA Cup has upsets every year, maybe this year's upsets are a little bigger, but what can it represent?

A team in the second division is a team in the second division after all!

Henderson made up his mind, and he looked in the direction of Morrison's run. These two are good friends, and naturally they have quite a tacit understanding.

Morrison knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Henderson look up, and the fast-moving Morrison ran straight ahead. And Henderson sent it directly with a long pass!

The previous dull situation caused Luton's players to let their guard down a bit, and Morrison received the ball and then cut inside past full-back Solo Davies to finish a shot from the edge of the box! The soccer ball grabs the other side of the column and goes out of the bottom line!

Morrison!! A sudden attack from Coventry was met by Morrison!! ”

Coventry's sudden shot turned boos from the stands into cheers.

Gao Bo was also taken aback by Morrison's shot, but he reacted quickly.

Was it a pre-arranged attack, or was it a temporary initiative of the players?

Gao Bo looked at Coleman on the other side. When he saw Coleman's reaction, he was convinced that it was an improvisation from the players!

Coleman looked anxious, pressing his hands down and yelling at the players on the field: "Don't rush!! ”

It's just that under the cheers of the Coventry fans now, it is unknown how many people heard Coleman's shouts, and perhaps the Coventry players did not want to hear them at all.

Gao Bo was a little excited, but he decided to observe anyway.

Coventry's attack soon came back and this time there were a little more involved, with two of their strikers involved.

Gao Bo focused on the performance of Coventry's backline and midfield.

With the exception of Henderson, no one passed the half, and there was a quiet disconnect between Coventry's attacking line and the midfield line!

This is the self-assertion of some of the players in Coventry!!

Gao Bo made a judgment right away!

He looked at Coleman, who was extremely anxious!

Don't miss it!!

"N'Golo !!!" Gao Bo's voice was much louder than Coleman's, after all, he was so young, he roared so loudly that it even drowned out the cheers made by the Coventry fans in the stadium!

His voice was heard by the Luton players on the pitch, and Gao Bo made a gesture!

This is a signal to fight back!

The players' faces were also excited!!

They looked at the opposition goal, while N'Golo Kante crept close to Morrison.......
