Chapter 178: Watching Little Gaozi's Game
On the day of the match, the Wossi stadium was packed.
Although it can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, the sunken stadium in England creates a very warm atmosphere.
Players from both sides are already waiting in the player channel to appear. Gao Bo appeared on the coaching bench, and Ranieri also came over at this time. As the host, Gao Bo took the initiative to greet him and shook hands with Ranieri.
"You did a good job in the English Premier League, young man."
Ranieri sighed Gao Bo, who looked like he was younger than the players on the court. Ranieri is an old-school coach. His coaching experience is very rich, but he has never encountered a younger opponent than Gao Bo.
Gao Bo blinked, and to be honest, he still feels guilty about Ranieri-Kanter, Drinkwater, and Vardy are all future Ranieri who will create the Premier League miracle in Leicester City. The minister, and now that Gao Bo has dug these three people away, I don't know who Ranieri will get to make up for the vacancies of the three?
"But it will be me who wins this game."
Ranieri admired Gao Bo, but they were opponents in this game, so the Italian still expressed his sense of competition before the game.
"Then let's wait and see, Mr. Ranieri!"
After shaking hands, the two returned to their seats.
"Roma's recent state is not very good, and I don't know what kind of state they can come up with in this game." John is already sitting on the coach's bench.
"Not long after Ranieri took over Roma, the previous game had no reference. This team has slowly stabilized under Ranieri." Gao Bo shook his head.
The state of Rome was really bad some time ago.
The first two consecutive defeats, the defeat to Juventus also led to the resignation of coach Spalletti. After Ranieri took office, although Rome had a good record of conquering Florence and Naples, they also had three consecutive defeats against AC Milan, Livorno and Udinese. This season, the two coaches of Roma have had a terrible start, but considering that Roma had little use in the transfer market in the summer, they also sold off the general Aquilani. Injuries including Totti at the beginning of the season once again affected the strength of the team. Rome's difficult start was actually paying for the team's inaction in summer signings.
But Gao Bo knows that this is just a painful period after Ranieri took over Roma. After they lose to Udinese, Ranieri's team will begin to go on track. Gao Bo vaguely remembered that this season's Roma has created an unbeaten record of 24 league games, and even had the hope of competing for the Serie A title at the end of the season.
This is a Roma team that is gradually recovering, and it is definitely not to be underestimated.
...
At this time, the referee has led the two team players out of the player channel.
In the commentary stand, the commentators are already ready to explain a key game in Group E of the Europa League group stage!
"Good audience friends, the players from both sides have entered the arena!!!"
Letkinson also came to the stadium. Letkinson has come to this small stadium many times this season. He is now very familiar with this stadium.
"Look at the cheers of Luton fans. Here, at their home court, they are fearless!!!"
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first. Let's take a look at the home team Luton. They are still a traditional 442 position. The goalkeeper is Schmeichel. On the defensive line, due to Sol Campbell In the last round of the league, he sprained his ankle. Today Luton's central defender partner has become Jeffrey and George Parker. This is Luton's main central defender partner last season. The left defender is the Brazilian teenager Alex San. Dro, and the right back is our local teenager Karl Jenkinson. This is the teenager's first start in the Europa League. In midfield, the frontcourt starters are Adam White, Drinkwater, Kanter, Kevin Keane, and on the front line, it's a combination of Vardy and Griezman."
"On the Roma side, Ranieri sent a single striker in this game, with a 4231 position. Vucinic appeared on the front line. It seems that Ranieri chose to trust the Montenegrin striker. The goalkeeper is Lo Bont's starting lineup, the center-back combination is the partner of Mexes and Juan, the left-back Burdiso, the right-back Cassetti, the combination of Brigitte and De Rossi, the midfielder's midfielder, and the front left midfielder Tadei , Center forward Perrotta, right forward Menez, and forward Vucinic."
Letkinson reported the first announcement of both sides in one go.
"Although they are only from a third-level team, I don't know why. I always have inexplicable confidence in them. Even in Rome, I am afraid I can't beat them in this stadium." Redknapp said on the side. .
"Of course, Luton has defeated the Premier League semi-finals one after another!"
Letkinson laughed aside.
At this time the players of both sides are already shaking hands, and the game is about to begin.
By this time in China, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The Europa League games have little influence in China. At least compared to the Champions League games, fans who are willing to stay up late to watch the Europa League are definitely the irons of this team.
The Champions League is different. For example, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, even if they are not fans of one of the two teams, I am afraid they would be willing to get up and enjoy such a game.
And Roma vs. Luton?
If it was before, I am afraid that even the live broadcast would not be broadcast in China.
But this game has attracted the attention of many fans This is because of Gao Bo.
In a small village in Meizhou, Mr. Chen quietly turned on the TV.
Patter...
The TV set just turned on suddenly turned off.
power cut? ! !
Then Mr. Chen saw his wife's frowning face.
"How old is it to learn from others to stay up late to watch TV?!!!"
Mrs. Chen said with her waist in her waist.
"Look for a while, just for a while! I went to sleep when I saw a goal..."
Old Chen folded his hands and said, "This is the game of the junior high team."
"Little Gaozi's game?" Mrs. Chen thought for a while, "How long does it take to score a goal?"
"Quickly, how difficult it is to score..."
Old Chen lowered his eyebrows pleasingly, and finally turned on the TV again.
Only Guangti and Shanghai Five Star Sports have the right to broadcast the Europa League in China. Both TV stations are broadcasting the match.
Mr. Chen looked at the wide-body commentary.
As soon as the TV was turned on, He Hongfa's voice came.
"The players from both sides have stepped into the arena, and the game will begin immediately!"
At this time, the live TV screen switched to Gao Bo's close-up.
"It's really a little boy, he's on TV!!"
Mrs. Chen simply sat down next to Mrs. Chen.
"Little Gaozi, when will you come back to see grandma..."
Mrs. Chen greeted the TV.
"He can't hear... Little Gaozi is in England now, do you know that England?"
Old Chen glanced contemptuously at his wife next to him.
"I'm happy... can you control it..."
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the old husband and wife of Meizhou were squatting while snuggling and watching the ball.
Two shifts in the early morning, three shifts tomorrow morning!
