Chapter 232 Juventus is too strong
After today's restorative training, the team training base is about to rush to the away game. They will challenge Yeovil away.
Due to the intensive schedule, the team's training is now based on relatively relaxed recovery training. If the interval between the two games has passed five days, Gao Bo will consider interspersing a training session with a larger amount of training. class.
By now, it can be seen that in the pre-season training before the season, the team has done a solid job. The players celebrate how they play on the field. As long as their physical condition is okay, then Luton's combat effectiveness on the field is guaranteed.
Now for the team, the league's match mission is very crucial. After all, in the standings, Luton's points have been passed by Leeds United and Charlton!
So now Luton must ensure three points in the league to tighten and even counter competitors' points.
March 1, the 31st round of the league, away!
In a heavy rain, Luton defeated the home team Yeovil 2-1 in the away game.
This game is still very difficult for Luton. In heavy rain, Luton's technical superiority could not be used much, football was flying in the air, and for Yeovil, who had been in the low-level league for many years, the game under such weather was their best. .
But in the end Luton still won the game with two long-range shots from Griezman.
In heavy rain, the success rate of long shots is also much higher.
On the second day after this game, after the players returned to Luton from away, UEFA held a draw for the Europa League round of 16 in Nyon, Switzerland.
The opponent drawn this time even Gao Bo felt his head scratching.
Juventus!
Luton will meet Juventus in the round of 16!
The dominant team of Serie A!
Juventus nickname old woman, Italian-style reinforced concrete defense and lightning-fast counterattacks are the labels of this team, and their performance is very stable, and Juventus overall style tends to be conservative, many People call Juventus like an old lady, her style of play has remained unchanged for years. But in fact, for a team like Luton, the most worrying thing should be to run into a team like Juventus with experience and a stable and mature style of play.
The round of 16 met Juventus... this is not a good opponent.
Although Juventus's condition is not good now, Gao Bo believes that Juventus is Luton's more fearful opponent than Roma-this is related to the team's style. Luton was originally a young team, and Juventus's strength is also higher than that of Luton. Facing such a conservative playing team, it may be difficult for Luton to take advantage of them.
Juventus are divided into Group A in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, and they are in a group with Bayern Munich, Bordeaux, and Macca Haifa.
When Juventus entered this group, the Italian media was still quite optimistic. In terms of strength, Juventus is clearly one of the strongest teams in this group, at least compared to the other two teams except Bayern Munich. Up, Juventus's strength is quite impressive, especially in the last season, the Bianconeri who re-emerged from the second division performed well in the first division. They are not an ordinary promoted horse, and in the end Juventus Tus also won third place in Serie A and was able to participate in the Champions League.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Juventus only had two wins, two draws and two losses, and they ranked third with eight points. They could only participate in the UEFA Europa League.
However, this season, Ferrara's team not only lost ground in the league. After the twenty-seventh round of the league, Juventus lost nine games. At the same time, there were five draws and only won ten of them. In three games, this score only allowed them to rank fifth in the league, and the forty-four points were far from the 59 points of Inter Milan!
There is no hope of winning the league. In the cup, Juventus was also eliminated in the Coppa Italia. Therefore, for Ferrara, the only hope for the championship is still the current Europa League. Up.
.....
Luton's draw to Juventus is undoubtedly big news.
Many English media believe that Luton's Europa League road has come to an end.
"To be honest, it is not easy for Luton to get to this point in the Europa League. The European competitions are no better than the domestic cups. This is important for the management and organization of the team, as well as the depth and physical fitness of the team. They all put forward a very severe test. Luton is just a small team. It is difficult for them to go to the big six in Europe while taking into account the league and take care of the Europa League matches at the same time!
This remark has been expressed by many media in different ways. In short, there is only one central idea expressed-Luton has done a good job. If you see it, you will accept it. Juventus is the overlord of Serie A and the first division of England. How can Luton in the league be able to beat the opponent? And now the Luton League is tightly ranked third. For Luton, it is the most correct choice to give up the Europa League and fully play in the league.
In fact, apart from the later conclusion that Luton gave up the Europa League, Gao Bo agreed with the media to some extent.
Juventus is stronger than Luton, and their tactical style is somewhat different from Luton to some extent. They are a stable defensive counterattack team, Luton actually takes them nothing too much. Good way.
However, unlike what the media imagined, despite the difficulties facing Juventus, Gao Bo definitely did not intend to give up like this.
Although it is not a shame to lose to Juventus, Luton's performance in the Europa League this season is impressive enough. Even England's Everton was not eliminated by Juventus. What?
But Gao Bo didn't plan to admit defeat, but it didn't mean he was going to fight.
If Luton presses up and fights Juventus head-on...I am afraid it will die miserably.
So in this game, the team still has to pay attention to some strategies.
Best.... Let Juventus think Luton is about to give up the Europa League!
Going beyond the sea... Gao Bo stroked his chin, thinking that he should take a good look at this play.
....
"The Europa League draw ran into Juventus, our luck is really bad... Juventus is too stable, so stable that we can hardly see their loopholes. But at this stage we Still focusing on the league, I would rather talk about our match against Bristol City in this game!"
On the TV screen, Gao Bo's words are very clear.
This was in the 42nd round of the league, when Luton was at home against the Bristol Rangers, Gao Bo was asked about the Europa League match at the pre-match press conference.
On the TV screen Gao Bo frowned, looking very distressed.
In fact, people are not surprised, but they think Gao Bo's complaint is really justified-Luton is really bad luck.
It seems that Luton is ready to give up the Europa League.
Many of the English media at the scene were a little lost. From a rational point of view, Gao Bo's choice is not a problem, but there are still many people who want to see whether Luton, a dark horse that has risen since last season, can continue to perform miracles in the Europa League.
Now it seems....
A miracle is already impossible. ...
