Chapter 168: John's worries

Chapter 168—John's Worries

At the beginning of the game, Basel took advantage of their first kick-off opportunity to prepare to press on and attack.

But they soon found out that they had an iron plate in the midfield.

Kanter is in great shape for this game! At the beginning of the game, Kanter grabbed the ball back, and then he passed the ball to Drinkwater. Drinking water made a long pass directly behind the opponent's defense line because Basel's formation was already overwhelmed. .

But he didn't handle the long pass well, and the pass was a little bigger. The Basel goalkeeper got the ball before Vardy.

Gao Bo applauded Kanter's performance from the sidelines. Just now Kanter quickly made a prediction at the moment when the opponent passed the ball, and then rushed to grab the ball and intercepted the ball!

In Gao Bo's view, the focus of this game will be in the midfield, because the opponent is also hoarding heavy troops in the midfield, and like Barcelona, ​​Basel is also a team that insists on short passes from the ground and promotes their midfield. The configuration is still very powerful.

So Gao Bo simply used the cards mainly on Kanter. The most important thing in this game is the efficiency of the defense in the midfield.

[Game Card (green): The success rate of steals is increased by 15%, and the designated player "N'Golo Kanter" is used]

[Game Card (green): Defensive prediction increased by 15%, designated player "N'Golo Kanter" used]

[Game card (green): Defensive position increased by 15%, designated player "N'Golo-Kant" used]

Except for the two blue cards, the other three card slots Gao Bo used him on Kanter. In terms of interception, Kanter is now estimated to be the most powerful midfielder in the world. The last blue interception card used in the whole team, Kanter's interception ability at this time is improved by 3o% on his original basis! !

Coupled with defensive anticipation and defensive positions, Kanter's original foundation is very good. After the improvement of the cards, Kanter is simply an iron gate in the midfield. He rushes all over the field, Basel every A player with the ball can always see Kanter's dark face when he looks up. The French player's baby face is combined with his unhesitating and accurate steals. There is no sense of disobedience. The Basel midfielder is just right. Kanter will have a shadow!

After the start of the game, Basel played away more aggressively, trying to control the midfield.

However, Luton's midfield press put the two sides into a fight in the midfield. Basel's offense could not be organized. Instead, Luton fought back several times.

"Kante stole the ball in midfield!!! He passed directly forward to Kevin Keane!!! Kevin made a long pass to Adam... The pass was too big, and the football went out of the sideline. Basel has the ball. !"

"It's Kanter again!!! He gave another steal again, this time he came by himself!!! Kanter passed the ball... a little shorter, the football was defeated by Basel's central defender Abraha He controlled it!"

Letkinson was in the commentary booth on the stadium. At this time the game just started, the content of the game was similar to what he said. Basel tried to control the rhythm in the midfield, while Kanter frequently steals. After that, Luton's counterattack success rate does not seem to be too high, and the ball has changed hands several times!

Gao Bo stood on the sidelines, and Luton's counterattack was a little anxious these few times.

He emphasizes simple and fast passing, but this is under the guarantee of a certain success rate. These few treatments show the players' mentality towards this game-this is after all a Europa League game , So the mentality of players is different from playing in the league, they want to hit the ball directly into the threat zone all at once.

Gao Bo shouted to the players from the sidelines, and then made a gesture of pressing his hands down to signal the players to calm down.

"Bypass him!! Bypass that kid!!!"

The Basel coach on the sidelines also yelled from the sidelines.

In fact, the Basel players were very afraid of Luton's counterattack at the beginning, but the passing of the Luton players made the Basel players feel a little relieved.

They are just so...

Since Kanter is sad in the middle, then Basel will pass the ball to the side.

So Basel stopped playing hard in the middle, they passed the ball to the wing.

The movement of Luton's formation surprised the Basel players. Luton quickly moved over. The Basel midfielder Kalitos, who had just received the ball from the wing, immediately encountered Luton's multiplayer. Rob.

In a haste, Kalitos' ball was snatched by Kanter.

"Luton's counterattack is coming!!"

After the previous failed counterattacks, even Letkinson in the stands did not seem excited enough.

The Basel players quickly retreated. Their retreat was relatively fast, but they were still a bit slower than their passing rate!

Kanter broke the ball, and then Drinkwater responded in the area close to the center.

After taking the ball, Drinkwater turned around directly. This time he didn't directly find a forward with a long pass. He found that his long pass was not very good today. The success rate of the long pass to the frontcourt is not high, so he The choice is to pass the ground ball.

The football passed to the foot of Griezmann in the frontcourt, and Griezmann did not delay any time. He passed the ball to the other side as soon as possible.

Adam White's speed is very fast. At the request of Gao Bo, he recently passed the ball in extra practice. Adam ran forward while observing the situation in the penalty area.

Now the opposing defender is still far away from him, so he has enough time to think and handle the ball.

"Stop him!!!"

Luton passed the ball in three passes and showed the ball to the frontcourt, which made the Basel coach on the sidelines unable to sit still. The Basel players on the field felt that when Griezmann passed the ball diagonally to the front. It's not good! Several Basel players pounced on Adam, and several players rushed into the penalty area.

At this time, in the penalty area, Vardy and Griezmann are already ready to grab points one after another.

Adam took the ball up with his left foot, a half high! Football bypassed Basel's previous defense!

Vardy fought hard in the middle, but the football still swept past him.

At this time, everyone's eyes gathered and turned back.

Point later!

Griezmann! ! ! !

Griezmann was already ready, he raised the arch of his foot and shot it! ! !

The football flies into the net without suspense! ! !

"The goal is scored!!! Griezmann!!! One to zero!!!"

What jumped up with Letkinson were the fans in the stands, the substitute players who rushed out of the bench with their arms raised, and Gao Bo who opened his arms on the sidelines.

The whole stadium was ignited because of this goal!

"This is a key game in Group E of the Europa League group stage. Luton, who is playing at home, took the lead in the eleventh minute of the game! This result could not be more wonderful for Luton! They were originally They are good at playing defensive counterattacks, and now they are ahead of the score, their opponent's situation will be even more difficult!!" Letkinson shouted from the stands.

"The reality of Kanter's game is so dazzling, he can be seen almost everywhere. I have never seen a midfield defender that can attract the eye so much." Little Redknapp sat in Wright Jin Sen's side said.

John and others also rushed out to celebrate.

"This kid N'Golo is really great today." John said next to Gao Bo. Although Griezman scored the ball, the best player so far is Kanter.

"He has always been great." Gao Bo smiled.

The three-chapter card was used on a defensive player, and the effect achieved made Gao Bo somewhat surprised. In this game, Kanter was almost a big goal in the midfield, he almost paralyzed Luton's midfield organization...

"Good job, N'Golo!!"

Kanter did not participate in the frontcourt goal celebration, he still stayed in the backcourt.

Gao Bo gave a thumbs up and shouted at Kanter.

Kanter grinned. The coach's compliment made the shy Kanter a little bit embarrassed. He even blushed a bit, just hiding under this dark face.

Kanter felt very good in this game. He even felt that he suddenly wanted to have a vague intuition, which allowed him to predict where the ball would pass and where he should stand...

Luton's celebration soon ended and Kanter returned to his position. He and Drinkwater were defensively from left to right, but this position is not fixed. Kanter's position is very flexible.

"Good job, N'Golo."

Kevin Keane came over and rubbed Kanter's head while he was not teeing off.

Yeah...he has always been great.

John looked at Kanter on the court and looked at Gao Bo.

The players brought by these Gaobo, each one is great...

I just don't know, how long can Gao Bo sit in Luton's head coach position?

With Luton's appearance in the Europa League this season, Kobo's reputation is naturally rising, and if Luton makes a breakthrough in the Europa League this season...

Maybe the whole Luton will be dismantled by those giant teams. Including the most important person...Head coach Gao Bo.

Under John's deep eyes, there is a trace of sadness hidden. ...
