Chapter 170: The Experience of Slow Growth

Luton Town beat Basel 3-0 at home.

The result came as a surprise to many, and even the local media in England were shocked by the result, which had been pre-game thinking that Luton might be able to win, but it was surprising to win so easily.

“..... Luton Town beat Basel 3-0 at home, while Roma beat CSKA Sofia 2-0 away in the other game in the same group, so the format of Group E is more interesting. The two promotion favourites in this group are currently on three points, with Roma sitting second with one fewer goals conceded and Luton Town from the English League One at the top!! Luton's two consecutive wins in the group stage have made their qualification situation very good, and they will host Roma in the next round, and if they can get three points, then Luton Town will be in a great position to qualify! Sky Sports said in the report.

The English media are not at all surprised that Luton Town are likely to progress from the group, but in any case, they also beat several Premier League sides last season and their exit from the Europa League is not a surprise.

"If Luton Town continue their magical form in the FA Cup last season, then this season's Europa League will be interesting," the author of the article quipped at the end of the article.

After all, Luton Town are only a third-tier team, and for the English, there is nothing to be ashamed of losing in the Europa League, but if they win..... For the English who love face, this face can make a lot of money.

Many English fans don't have a bad opinion of Luton as a team, first of course, because most of the fans are fans of Premier League or Championship teams, and Luton don't pose a direct threat to them, and secondly, everyone likes those who create some surprises from the grassroots...

And in the city of Rome, Italy, fans are also talking about this team. Because of the big team in the city of Rome, Roma's next opponent is this small team from England.

Winning a domestic cup as a fourth-tier team? This is very incredible in the eyes of Italian fans.

Moreover, the Chinese head coach of the Luton team has also become a news buying point, and almost every media that reports on Luton Town likes to mention this matter in their reports.

"Their head coach is Gao Bo from China."

'The format of this group is very chaotic, Roma who were favourites have now only won CSKA Sofia and are second in the group, and the team who are in the top group are unexpectedly Luton Town from English One – it is worth mentioning that English One is the third tier of the league!" This is what Roma Sport writes when it reports on the Europa League match.

The Italian media are now skeptical that Luton Town might qualify, after all, a team in the third tier, how strong can it be?

"Luton are a very strong team!!" Ranieri was full of seriousness in the interview, for Ranieri, after the Roma team lost to Basel in the first round of the group stage, his pressure is very high, especially recently in Serie A, the Roma team has just suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats, Ranieri's position looks a little precarious.

Is Luton strong?

On the contrary, this question has become the talk of Italian football, and even Jose Mourinho has been asked this question.

"I haven't watched their game, as for whether Luton Town is strong or not, you will only know after the fight!" Mourinho is as rebellious as ever.

......

Gobo didn't know that his team was making a lot of noise in Italy, and for Luton Town, the schedule was still very frequent.

Just after the home game against Basel, the team rushed to the away stadium to play Southampton away.

Gao Bo is very familiar with Southampton, a team that has since climbed to the Premier League thanks to their excellent youth system, and eventually established themselves in the Premier League.

Southampton may only be in the first division, but Gobo knows that the team will be part of the Premier League in the future, and their players can supply many Premier League teams over and over again – Liverpool, for example.

This is the result of Southampton's focus on youth tradition. The investment in youth training at any cost, the perfect and scientific training system, the advanced and free football concept and the team's sufficient attention to young players have turned this place into a dream factory for young players, who not only have the opportunity to play at St Mary's Stadium, but also become the backbone of the Premier League.

When it comes to Southampton's youth training products, the most famous is Bale. The previous season, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of Southampton's financial crisis and took Bale for five million and picked up a big bargain.

Even in this game, when Gao Bo got the starting list for Southampton, he found a lot of familiar faces, and these players are all players who have the opportunity to play for the Premier League giants in the future.

For example, Lambert, who came from an amateur comeback and will be taken away by Liverpool in the future, and Lallana, who will also be in Liverpool's squad in the future, in addition to these two players, there is also midfielder Schneiderlin, who will be transferred by Manchester United in the future. Their striker Raymond will also be a sought-after star in the Premier League in the future.

Although Gao Bo doesn't know if the butterfly effect will change the trajectory of these players because of his own appearance, just looking at Southampton's list shows how successful their academy has been.

Southampton's squad this season is also quite young, and they have made a big difference in the league with their Academy players. However, they didn't start the season very well, with Southampton picking up just one win after nine league games, and of course, losing just one, but with seven draws.....

The team's lack of attack was the biggest key to the draw, and manager Ted Bess had a headache over it.

Southampton's opponents in this game, Luton Town, Southampton and Luton Town are the two youngest teams in the First Division - in fact, Southampton's starting line-up is a few months younger than Luton.

The duel between two young teams, but there is no suspense in the result.

Jamie Vardy burst into a complete burst of the game, scoring twice in the first half to give his side the lead.

In the second half, the two sides played a little restless, Southampton pulled a goal back and it was Raymond, before Jamie Vardy added a hat-trick soon after, and in the 80th minute, substitute Matt Schmidt also scored his first league goal of the season.

However, in stoppage time, with a corner, Lallana took a kick from the edge and hit a world wave.

The final score was 2-4! Luton Town win away!

After winning Southampton, he turned on the football card system.

Level 3: 16300/60000

I played more than a dozen games this season, but it seems like the experience bar has not been touched.

He sighed as he saw that there was a slow increase in experience, and although he was promoted to the first rank, this experience growth slowed down.

He looked at the empty taskbar.

Why haven't you brushed out this season's quest yet.... If you rely on this slow experience growth, I don't know when you will be able to upgrade to level 3....

Gao Bo looked at the taskbar with longing eyes, this season is the Europa League. This task system is too casual, and Gao Bo is also a little unpredictable.
