Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Let Your Opponents See Griezmann's Power
Two consecutive draws made Luton's prospects in the First Division not be optimistic.
"... There is no doubt that Luton has not fully prepared for the first division. Compared with the second division, the level of the first division is undoubtedly higher, which means that Luton is difficult. They won by the way they did in the First Division. During this time they were so popular that almost all teams must pay attention to this newly promoted polo team." "Sky Sports in" reported.
"...Luton is probably the most successful promotion in the history of the First Division. They have encountered two consecutive defensive situations where the opponent has accumulated almost all their players in the penalty area. In the face of such a dense defense, Luton has suffered Two draws, but their fans are already proud enough-the first division teams almost treat them as strong enemies that surpass this league." This is from "Team Daily" Report.
More media believe that Luton's similar situation in the First Division will appear more. After selling Charlie Austin, Luton's offensive power has declined significantly.
Gao Bo sneered at this. They don't know how terrifying this kid will be when Griezmann adapts to the league here!
Sure enough, three days later, on August 22, Luton's home game against Hartlip, Griezmann's performance will be more active than the previous two games.
At the beginning of the game, after getting the ball, Griezman gave Adam an assist in the penalty area. Adam buckled his right foot and then pushed his left foot. The football went out of the bottom line from the other end of the post.
Hartlip also used intensive defense to deal with Luton, but the effect is obviously not very good. They piled up the number in the backcourt, and almost all the defensive players that could be deployed were assigned, with only one purpose-to score a point at the Wolse Stadium.
But Hartlip's luck is obviously not so good, because he just happened to run into the explosion of Griezmann.
From the start of the game with a through ball assist, Griezmann felt that his condition was very good. Of course, he didn't know that this was the effect of cards-for this game, Gao Bo used the cards on the offensive end!
In addition, Gao Bo, who was sitting in the stands in the first two games, could not use his cards. This made Gao Bo very crazy. On the one hand, he could not direct the game himself. On the other hand, he couldn't even use the cards. This was also the case for the team. An important factor in Lianping.
From the beginning of the match, the Voss Stadium, which was shrouded in drizzle, sang continuously. In the singing of the fans, Luton's players launched a siege on Hartlip.
The goal came soon.
In the 13th minute of the game, Griezmann first withdrew to the front midfielder to get the ball, and then he passed the ball straight to Vardy, who returned the ball to the top of the penalty area!
And Griezmann, who rushed up, adjusted his pace, he took a kick at the top of the arc, and the football roared towards the goal. Hartlip's goalkeeper had nothing to do with it!
After the first goal was scored, the game was completely in Luton's rhythm.
Hartlip's strategy was to defend, and to get a draw away, but their strategy was broken in the 13th minute of the game. The poor Hartlip players don't know what to do now. They don't have many offensive players on the court now.
Their head coach is also holding his forehead on the sidelines. He decided to use this method after watching Luton's first two games, but what can they do now?
Put on an offensive player?
This is too early.
So Hartlip's head coach gave an instruction to press down with both hands, motioning the players to stabilize. After all, it's only one goal behind. Even if you want to attack, you have to wait until the second half is replaced by an attacking player.
Gao Bo glanced at the opponent's coach. To be honest, the opponent's choice was actually correct, but the only question is, can they really guarantee not to lose the ball in the first half?
the answer is negative! !
In the 32nd minute of the game, Luton's goal came again.
This time it was not Griezmann's goal, but his assist.
Griezman picked the ball into the penalty area. Adam gently removed it after a high-speed push. This time his push did not miss any more and the football rolled into the net.
The Wossi stadium was completely boiling.
The fans bounced around in the stands, making the whole stand as if experiencing an earthquake.
The players embraced and celebrated in the stadium.
Gao Bo also raised his arms on the sidelines.
Two goals ahead! ! This made Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
The two consecutive draws at the beginning of the league put a lot of pressure on the team up and down, and now this game has basically been won, two goals ahead, Luton will not give Hartlip any chance.
The best player in the first half was undoubtedly Griezman, who has now completely become the core of the offensive frontcourt.
Taking the ball in the midfield to organize the attack, and scoring to the frontcourt, Griezmann is considered to be a standout in the first division.
Gao Bo believes that it will not take long for this guy to become the most dazzling star in the entire league.
Mendes is a big bargain...because Griezmann signed a contract with the brokerage company under Mendes a few days ago. Of course, this company is a joint venture between Mendes and Gao Bo.
In addition to Griezmann, several young players brought by Gao Bo have all signed into this agency. Gao Bo knows that he is not for business, but he has a good vision, so the cooperation between him and Mendes is a match made in heaven.
Gao Bo is also a little proud thinking about this. It seems that finding some young players who will develop well in the future is not just to make money for David Morton...
In the second half, Hartlip put on a few offensive players and wanted to counterattack.
As a result, their defensive line has completely become the prairie for Luton players to gallop In the 53rd minute of the game, Adam tripped inside the wing and Luton got a free kick from the edge of the penalty area. !
The free kick taken by Griezmann bypassed the wall and the fingertips of the goalkeeper! ! !
Three to zero! !
Luton's game broke out completely.
This is not over yet! !
With the 60th corner kick in the game, Vardi headed the ball into the goal. This was his first goal in the league!
Only two minutes after the goal, Griezmann caught the ball from Adam in the penalty area and rushed the ball into the goal.
Griezmann staged a hat trick, and these three goals have their own characteristics, long shots, free kicks, and grab points in the penalty area. In addition to these three goals, the other two assists also came from Griezmann.
In this game, Griezmann almost completely vented the depression of the first two games, and he ushered in a big outbreak!
At the eighty-eighth minute of the game, Gao Bo replaced Griezmann and asked him to accept the applause of the fans. This game alone, Griezmann is enough to conquer Luton fans.
"Good job, Anthony!!" Gao Bo embraced Griezmann.
In the end, Luton beat Hartlip 5-0 and won the first game of the first division.
The victory of this game gave the whole team a sigh of relief.
As a newly promoted horse, he encountered two consecutive draws at the start, which really put a lot of pressure on the team.
The fans also breathed a sigh of relief. Their expectations for this season are different from last season. In the various predictions before the season, Luton is the most popular upgrade in the first division.
This also raised the expectations of the fans. Maybe after this season, the team can return to the Championship? 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
