Chapter 115: League Champions

Luton Town overtook Wycombe Rangers to top the second division table, allowing Luton to occupy the front pages of many of England's major newspapers these days.

In the midst of the media hype, Gao Bo asked the players to keep the media silent, and no one in the team was interviewed by the media during this time.

Because the team still has four league games to play, no matter what, Gao Bo will not allow to capsize in the gutter when he is about to see victory.

"We can't be careless!! The more you get to this point, the more cautious you be!! We can't afford to lose a game!! ”

Before the 42nd round of the make-up match, Gao Bo said this to the players in the locker room!

Luton Town have been dismissed from the 42nd round of the second division until 28 April due to the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will face Chelsch Duffett at home.

This is a team in the middle of the league, and it is not a threat to Luton in terms of strength, but Gao Bo is most worried that the team will not be able to keep up with the form due to the light opponent, so Gao Bo has done a lot of work in this area before the game.

Because of Gao Bo's spur, the players did not appear to be underestimated, and Luton Town gave a perfect game at home in this game.

The final score of this game was 3-0!

Two of the team's strikers, Jamie Vardy and Charlie Austin, both scored, and Adam, who came on as a first-half substitute, won a penalty for the team, which was converted by captain Kevin Keane!

After winning the 42nd round of the league, Luton are already four points clear of Wycombe Rangers in the table with three games remaining.

With just six more points, Luton Town could claim the league title regardless of the situation on the Wycombe Rangers side.

In fact, in the 44th round of the league, Luton Town can win the title early.

On 1 May, the 44th round of the Second Division, Luton Town take on Barnet away from home, while Wycombe Rovers play at the same time, and they play Aldershot away at home.

When the game entered the second half, John frequently picked up his mobile phone, and he was watching the score of the two games.

"How's it going over there?" Gao Bo is also concerned about the situation of the other game.

"It's still 0-to-0!!" John restrained his excitement.

It's better to let Wycombe lose!! John prayed in his heart.

Wycombe Wanderers are still tied 0-0 on the road, while Luton Town are already 2-0 ahead of Barnet!

If it were to end with this scoreline, Wycombe Wanderers would have one point and Luton Town would have taken all three points, bringing Luton's lead over Wycombe Rovers to six points, and Luton would have essentially claimed the league title – unless in the final two league games, Luton lose by a margin and Wycombe win by a margin, so that it is possible to erase the huge difference in goal difference between the two sides!

In the end, though, John was happy because in the final moments of the game, Wycombe Wanderers scored a goal to keep a four-point gap to Luton Town and retain their slim hopes of winning the league title.

"Leave them alone, we'll just win in the next round of the league!" After the match, Gao Bo patted John on the shoulder and comforted.

John just wanted the team's championship to be determined as soon as possible, because the experience from being deducted 30 points to passing the league made John feel like he was in a dream, and he always felt empty in his heart when he didn't get the trophy in his hands for a day.

In fact, even if Wycombe Rangers win this round, not many people think that Luton Town will let the title slip out of their hands.

On May 4, in the 45th round of the league, Luton Town hosted Rochdale.

Luton Town are fighting for the title while Rochdale are fighting for a promotion play-off spot, and they are now ninth in the league and just one point off seventh, so for Rochdale they still have a chance to play in the promotion play-offs.

But to beat Luton on the road? This is obviously very difficult. Luton Town haven't lost at home this season.

"Match point in the league!!"

It was the front page of Haters and the match was clearly seen as a Luton title game. A home win against Luton Town will lift them to the second division one round earlier!

The game was played at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Wardway Stadium was shrouded in sunshine.

When the players appeared on the pitch, the cheers of the fans erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the whole stadium melted into the warm atmosphere.

The stadium can only accommodate 10,000 fans, and when the cheers from the stadium are heard, the fans gathered outside the stadium also cheer.

Tens of thousands of fans gathered inside and outside the stadium made Luton's security services very nervous, and they sent hundreds of police officers to maintain order.

In order to make it easier for fans to watch the game, Luton put together a large screen in the square in front of the stadium so that fans can watch the live game through the big screen.

All Luton fans are looking forward to the victory of the team in this game, expecting the team to win the second division and be promoted to the first division as the champion!

From the start of the game, the Luton players were quite excited.

When Charlie Austin sent the ball into the opponent's goal in the 23rd minute of the game, the scene was completely boiling.

Fans threw towels, hats, or anything else into the sky.

In the square outside the stadium, the Luton fans also jumped up, and the whole Luton was thrown into a carnival!

1 to 0!! Luton Town took the lead.

The first goal is crucial because for a team like Luton Town that dominates the second division, the first goal goes in and the game is basically won.

As it was, Luton's second goal was not long in coming.

In the 31st minute of the game, Jamie Vardy scored the second goal of the game for Luton Town in the penalty area!!

It was a goal that put the Luton fans at ease. There was no suspense in the game, the fans sang and danced in the stands, and even played with the crowd.

The game entered the second half, and in the final moments, through a corner, central defender George Parker scored a goal to seal the victory!!

Three to zero, there is basically no suspense about the league championship!

There were three minutes of stoppage time, but the referee didn't wait for three minutes at all, but blew the whistle for the end of the game in the first minute.

The players on the bench rushed into the stadium and the players celebrated excitedly in the stadium.

In the coach's seat, Mel and John had already hugged each other and cried into tears, and Lin Sen looked at the cheering crowd in the stands around him, feeling as if he was in a dream.

Gao Bo didn't rush into the stadium to celebrate, and before the start of the season, he was full of desire for this title, but when he did win the league title, he found that he was not really very excited.

This may have something to do with the fact that the champion of the second division is really not a very good champion.

Gao Bo smiled at the players celebrating in the stadium, and he pulled out the palm of his hand in his trouser pocket and raised it to applaud.

Maybe the league title is really just a small goal for Gao Bo, but for Luton fans, it is something that will be hard to forget in their lifetime.

From minus 30 points to the league championship, only every fan in the stands knows what kind of twists and turns the fans' mood has gone through during this period.

Gao Bo's eyes looked at the crowd in the stadium, and cheers drifted past his ears...

Next up... FA Cup!

Gao Bo's gaze became firm.
