Chapter 133: Luton's Defensive Strategy

It was Liverpool who completed the substitution first, and Luton Town was not in a hurry to make a substitution, for Gao Bo, he would wait until Adam was about to run out of energy before replacing him!

And the substitutions on Liverpool's side also made Gao Bo sideways.

Gobo had expected Riera to replace Mascherano or a centre-back, Carragher or Skrtel. But Gao Bo guessed wrong.

Riera was replaced by Lera. And high school striker N'Golo is still warming up on the sidelines, and it is not known when Benitez will bring him on.

Wingers for wingers...

Gao Bo froze for a moment when he saw this substitution, and then he smiled dumbly.

It's Benitez's style, and he's going to have to keep the team's balance between attack and defense until he dies.

Master Pei is still reluctant to fight, perhaps he thinks Liverpool's attacking ability is strong enough.

Adam worked very the field.

He was feeling quite tired now, but the excitement was still enough to keep him running on the field.

Bang!!!!

Once again, Adam collided with Abelloa.

Both fell to the ground.

Benitez looked very angry on the sidelines: "This kid should have been sent off with a red card a long time ago!!" ”

It's just that the referee ignored Benitez's words, not that all fouls deserve a yellow card, not to mention that Adam already has a yellow card on him, and the referee will not show him a second yellow card for such an action - if he doesn't want to be the focus of the media after the game.

Luton's players are using the referee's scale to their advantage, and there's no doubt about that.

Adam was lying at the foul site, he was looking at the sky, and the rainbow bridge was just above him.

The light shone down, and Adam was sweating and breathing heavily.

"Adam is dying!"

John came to Gao Bo's side.

Gao Bo nodded, and he beckoned Lewis Emmanuel over.

He brought on Lewis because he is also a fit, athletic midfielder and he is deeply involved in defence.

In the midfield, Gao Bo has to maintain the intensity of physical confrontation!

If technically Liverpool are now a big step ahead of Luton, then physically, it may not be.

"Withstand the onslaught of Kuyt and Arbeloa on the wing, don't let them have a chance to cross easily on the wing!"

Gao Bo said in Lewis's ear.

Lewis nodded repeatedly, he knew what the head coach was going to send him up for now!

Defend!! Defend back and forth at all costs!

As soon as Arbeloa was about to get the ball out, the referee blew the whistle and signalled for Luton Town to make the substitution first.

Adam simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Abelloa stepped forward to force him up, but angered nearby Vardy, who rushed up and slammed Abelloa on the forehead, and the two spewed trash talk at each other.

Push me, push me and I'll fall to the ground...

Vardy was expecting Arbeloa to make the first move, because he knew that the opponent was now carrying a yellow card, and even if the referee played 50 boards each for this incident, then Luton would definitely have earned it - Alberoa is likely to be sent off, and Vardy only got a yellow card.

However, Arbelloa seemed to be calm, and although he was not clean verbally, he did not make any movement in his hands.

In the end, the referee did not give the two yellow cards, but he told Adam to hurry up to complete the substitution.

Adam, who was carrying a yellow card, did not dare to slack off, he hurriedly got up and trotted to the sidelines.

The Luton fans in the stands cheered, although Adam did not score in this game, the young player who started the game was absolutely perfect, and Luton's first two goals had a lot to do with him!

He was the one who produced the set-piece that produced the goal, and he broke through the penalty in the box.

Adam slowly ran to the sideline and after he and Lewis exchanged high-fives, Luton made the substitution.

"Well done! Brat! ”

Gao Bo hugged Adam and patted him the back.

After Adam was replaced, Gao Bo immediately switched cards.

[Match Card (Green): Defensive Position Increases by 15%, Designated Player "Hassan Ali" to use!] 】

[Match Card (Green): Header ability increased by 15%, designated player "Jeffrey" to use!] 】

These are two cards to strengthen your defense!

At this point, the game on the field finally started again.

Reyna came to serve the ball, and the Liverpool players pressed up, and Reina drove the ball directly to the front court.

Jeffrey grabbed the ball over Torres' head and pushed the ball into the centre circle, and Mascherano near the center circle had just taken the ball down before Lewis, who had just come on as a substitute, came up to defend.

There was another collision, and the two fell to the ground.

The Liverpool fans in the stands booed loudly, while the Luton fans cheered loudly.

Benitez jumped on the sidelines, while Gao Bo was full of calm.

It was the result that Luton wanted most, turning the game into fragments and fits and starts, leaving Liverpool unable to organise a fluid attack.

It's better to have a little more conflict on the field and muddy the water completely.

Mascherano was very calm, but Skrtel was annoyed, and he came up directly to settle accounts with Lewis, but was desperately pulled by Liverpool's vice-captain Carragher.

"Time!! We need time!! Don't fall for them!! Martin!!!! ”

An enraged Stettle was pacified, and what seemed like an impending conflict was dissolved.

Lewis shook his head regretfully, if Skrtel had come up, this clash would have allowed at least a few minutes of the game to pass.

Lewis slapped his ass from the ground and got up, and he looked at the big screen.

It's been fifty-nine minutes!

More than 30 minutes to go!!

Be sure to resist !!

Lewis turned and slowly back, because it was a foul in the back of the center circle, Liverpool did not plan to play a long free-kick attack directly, Mascherano drove the ball out, he distributed the ball to the feet of full-back Aurelio, and Aurelio passed the ball through to Riera, who had just come on as a substitute.

Riella faced Kevin Keane's defense, and he turned without the ball and directly brushed Kevin.

But then Charlie Austin had already retreated behind Kevin, he went straight up and cleared the ball with a big foot, but the ball went straight to Riera and went out of the sideline.

Luton played the ball on the touchline, but Liverpool didn't give Luton a chance to get the ball and they quickly snatched it back.

Riera protected the ball on the flank and then crossed it to the middle.

Xavi Alonso had just received the ball when he was caught between Drinkwater and Jamie Vardy.

The trio were tangled together, and when the referee's whistle blew, Xavi Alonso was almost crushed by Vardy and the two.

Such high-intensity physical confrontation in the midfield, physical entanglement at any cost, and frequent fouls made Liverpool's offensive organization very difficult.

Especially when Ya came on and Lewis returned to midfield to participate in the defense, and the two forwards in the front field also returned to midfield to start pressing Liverpool's ball-handlers.

It's a suffocating web of defence, with every Luton player involved in defending from the midfield all the way to the back.

In the face of the dense crowd in the 30-meter area in front of the Luton goal, Liverpool's attack did not come out, and the field seemed to have become a wrestling field, with players on both sides frequently falling to the ground, and the game was intermittent.

Rafa Benitez looked anxious on the sidelines and shouted so that the Liverpool players were not struggling with Luton's physical confrontation in midfield.

After N'Golo Kante once again cut Gerrard to the ground like a tree, Benitez called Xavi Alonso over.

"Run up and catch the ball!! Don't stay where you are!! Don't let them get entangled!! ”

"Speed!! Velocity!!! ”

"Pass the ball!! Play the speed of the two wings!! ”

Benitez kept gesturing with his hands, and Xavi Alonso nodded frequently.
