Chapter 102 Front Defender

Chapter 99 Front Defenders

Luton players walk into the dressing room.

Luton drew the away dressing room in this game, but despite this, the visiting dressing room at Wembley looked much better than the home dressing room at Worth Road.

In addition to the floor paved with high-grade wooden boards, there are closets in a circle, leather chairs, a row of massage chairs beside it, a whole row of showers behind, and even a small swimming pool in the changing room.

"Be careful when you are taking a bath in the swimming pool, the ice water suddenly comes out of it!" Jeffrey said, pointing to Kanter who looked at the swimming pool with his mouth wide open.

"This is a common tactic used by the home team to deal with the visiting team!" Jeffrey leaned in front of Kanter and threatened, "I heard that the visiting team's locker room at Stamford Bridge is intermittently supplied with cold and hot water, so that the visiting team dare not take a shower in the locker room."

"The visiting locker room at Old Trafford doesn't even have a shower room. The windows are very small, and the ceiling is much lower than normal houses. It's very uncomfortable for people to walk in."

"I heard that when the Emirates Stadium was newly built, Wenger personally went to guide the construction of the visiting team's dressing room, and guaranteed to make the team going to the Emirates Stadium extremely uncomfortable."

The players told what they had heard one by one.

"We won't be treated like this today, right?!" Kanter was obviously frightened. The methods of these giant teams are getting more and more ruthless.

"Of course not. This is the National Stadium, and it's a neutral field. The home team and the away team will not be treated differently. Even if the locker rooms of the home and away games are different in size, but if there are some on the home team, we will definitely have some here." Captain Kevin Keane touched Kanter's head and said.

Kanter obviously breathed a sigh of relief, he had wanted to soak in that hot pool for a long time.

But not now, because the team's assistant coach John Aston has been urging the players to warm up.

"Hurry up!! Change your clothes and shoes, you only have 10 minutes!! GOGOGO!!!!" John Aston has been doing this job for nearly 20 years, and he is extremely skilled.It's just that this is the first time he has uttered such a set of rhetoric at Wembley.

It doesn't look much different from other courses.

The players filed out, from the player tunnel to the court.

There was already a lot of people outside the stadium, and the stands were full of seats. On both sides of the stadium, the fans of Arsenal and Luton were clearly separated.

Gao Bo did not go out with the players, he still stayed in the locker room, preparing for his final work before the game.

He has already got Arsenal's starting list, which is similar to what he expected before the game, except for some changes in the front line.

He originally thought that Van Persie, who had just announced his recovery from injury last week, would not start this game, and that the striker partner would likely be a combination of Adebayor and Arshavin.

However, judging from the starting list just obtained, Van Persie is still ranked in the starting lineup by Wenger. He and Adebayor form a double forward, at the top.

Arshavin also started the game. He is likely to be the right midfielder in this game, Nasri is the left midfielder, and the two players in the middle of the midfield are Alexander Song and Spanish genius Cesc Fabregas.

The current Arsenal has enough manpower in the midfield and frontcourt. On the bench, Arsenal also has good players like Walcott, Bendtner, Denilson, Vela, etc., and Diaby, who has returned from injury, is also sitting on the bench.

On the defensive line, Wenger really let the young goalkeeper Fabianski start. In terms of using young people, Wenger is still very courageous.

The central defender combination is the partner of Kolo Toure and Hiltweiss, the left back Gibbs, and the right back Eb.

Sending out players who are absent due to injury is basically Arsenal's main players.

Gao Bo wrote the names of these players on the tactical board according to the 442 position.

Luton has been preparing for this game for a long time. No matter what starter Arsenal changes, Luton can come up with countermeasures.

Gao Bo took out his notebook, which was densely filled with the points that need to be paid attention to in this game, but because of the changes in Arsenal's starting lineup, he added a few more items at the back.

After finishing these, Gao Bo opened the football card system.

The card system of this game still has not refreshed the task.Gao Bo still has some regrets about this. It seems that apart from playing against Chelsea for the first time, there will be no rewards for playing against opponents of this level
Maybe there will be after reaching the final and winning the championship?
Gao Bo is not sure, but this game still needs to be equipped with cards, which is the source of his confidence against Arsenal - without cards, the difficulty for Luton to deal with Arsenal has increased by more than an order of magnitude.

Equip cards!

[Competition Card (Blue): The success rate of the team's interception is increased by 15%]

This is the core card used by Gao Bo. The tactics that Gao Bo arranged for Luton are largely set up around this card. If there is no such card, Gao Bo's hope of playing in the middle and frontcourt is very likely to be destroyed due to the lack of personal ability of the players.

Players are the basis for executing tactics.

Then Gao Bo chose three other cards.

[Match Card (Yellow): Heading ability increased by 7%, designated player "Jeffrey" to use]

[Match card (yellow): Shooting skills increased by 6%, designated player "Valdy" to use]

These two cards were also Gao Bo's common cards, and the card he used next was a yellow card exchanged after a series of victories.

[Competition Card (Yellow): The success rate of saves is increased by 7%, and the designated player "Claude Rondo" is used]

Gao Bo has wanted this card for a long time, a good goalkeeper can secure half of the team.Although Claude Rondo's comprehensive strength does not satisfy Gao Bo, fortunately, the England goalkeeper reacts quickly in front of the goal, so Gao Bo has always let Claude start as the main goalkeeper.

Arsenal are not a good defensive team, they have always been known for their gorgeous attacking football.And facing Luton, Wenger couldn't bear to play a defensive counterattack.

Gao Bo can be sure of this, so for Luton, the keynote of this game is to first contain Arsenal's offensive, and then look for opportunities to attack.

"Do you know your mission?"

The players have warmed up and returned. Gao Bo was standing in front of Hassan Ali, looking at the young player he had promoted from the youth training camp and said.

"Defend behind Jamie," Hassan Ali said loudly.

Gao Bo nodded: "Remember!! Defend in the frontcourt as if in the backcourt, and press them to get the ball!"

"Understood, boss!!" Hassan-Ali nodded.

Since you want to defend, do it thoroughly!
The Arsenal team is very young. If they are allowed to attack and are beaten by these young people, it will be really difficult for Luton to defend!

Of course, Luton's defense is not simply to put iron buckets in the backcourt, but to start from the forward and oppress the opponent's ball holder!
Arsenal are good at advancing the offense through ground cooperation, so Gao Bo decided to use this tactic in this game after he tried the defensive player-front tactic in the last league game. Cooperating with Luton's consistent overall defense and frontcourt pressing tactics, it may be able to disrupt the offensive organization of a team like Arsenal!
Gao Bo let Hassan Ali play almost as a shadow striker. Let him play this position with a defensive midfielder with good physical fitness and wide coverage. Of course, it is not because of Hassan's offensive talent-if he has it.

The reason why Gao Bo did this was to make Arsenal's backcourt unable to play the ball calmly. It is best to cut the connection between Arsenal's defenders and midfielders. This is the fundamental way to curb Arsenal's offensive.

"Danny!! You have a wider range of activities!" Gao Bo said to Drinkwater, and then he stood up: "The whole!! You must pay attention to the whole!! The oppression of the whole, the retreat of the whole!!"

This is something Gao Bo has been instilling at Luton.

Attack is not just for forwards, and defense is not just for defenders.

Defense, start from the forward line!
