Chapter 29 Who Has the Rhythm?
Chapter 28 Who Has the Rhythm

This is Luton's second home game of the season.

Because of the big victory in the first game, the fans have full confidence in the team now.Compared with the momentum of the first home game of this season, the momentum created by Luton fans in this game is much stronger.

Gao Bo was not booed.Perhaps out of the psychology of compensation, when Gao Bo came out of the player tunnel, he received even the loudest cheers—bigger than the team's captain Kevin Keane.

John Aston looked happily at the atmosphere of the Worth Road Stadium. Not only were all the seats in the stadium full for this game, but outside the stadium, those fans who failed to buy tickets also gathered on the streets on both sides of the stadium, so that the Luton City Government had to send out police force nervously to maintain order.

Last season, Luton was deducted ten points due to financial problems, and the morale of the team was in a sluggish state throughout the season, and was relegated to the second division because of this.

It seems that victory is really a good thing. There is nothing that one victory cannot solve. If there is, then two victories!
Gao Bo was still wearing a black suit jacket, and his straight shirt fully set off his muscular figure.He was smiling, and when he heard the cheers from the fans, he waved and greeted the fans.It seems that he didn't care at all about the booing of the fans in the first round of the league.

Naturally, the fans responded with even louder cheers.

As for Gao Bo, if he wants to talk about his current feelings for the Luton team, it is naturally not much. After all, before becoming the head coach of this team, the only news about Luton that Gao Bo saw in the newspapers was the report that they were deducted points.
Although Gao Bo is an avid fan, he didn't find a home team for himself like most people. He usually likes to watch any game. He likes to study the psychology of players and the fighting skills of the two coaches in each game.

Perhaps it was this kind of experience that made him finally choose the job of football head coach.

confidence!The victory in the first game not only brought confidence to the fans, but also to the players.

Nottingham Forest did not send all the main lineup for this game. They are half of the main lineup, but on the bench, there are still their core players. Once the game is unfavorable, they will immediately go into battle.

It seems that Nottingham Forest is unwilling to give up the League Cup early.Although the cup is very tasteless for many teams, it would be a pity to give up directly after all.

"It seems that this game will not be easy." John Aston sat on the bench and said to Gao Bo.He also looked at Billy Davis, who was sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team. He was a very famous coach in England's low-level leagues. Although he had no experience in coaching top-level league teams, Billy Davis had rich experience in dealing with the British Championship and League One.

Unlike the general English low-level leagues, Billy Davis' team emphasizes more on ball control and delicate cooperation. This is considered an outlier among many English coaches who emphasize speed, confrontation, and high-altitude balls.

He and the Nottingham team seem to be a match made in heaven. Nottingham Forest is one of the representatives of England's football technology flow, much earlier than Arsenal.

"But the atmosphere in the stadium today is very good, much better than the first round of the league!" John Aston said.

"If we can keep winning and keep winning, we can keep hearing that cheer and it's bigger than that."

"It's not easy to win all the time, Gao." John shook his head.

"But our goal every game is to win, isn't it? It's not easy to win all the time, but how will you know if you don't try?"

At this time, the players began to line up to enter the stadium. Gao Bo stood up and applauded the players together with the fans.

Yes, if the goal of a game is not to win, then what is it?If you can win, then win it!
As everyone expected before the game, Nottingham Forest controlled the football and slowly overwhelmed the formation across the half.

But at this time Nottingham Forest's head coach Billy Davis frowned.

Although Nottingham Forest is currently leading the ball possession rate by a large margin, the final result of the game is not more than who has more ball possession rate. If the football cannot be sent into the opponent's goal, even if the ball possession rate is [-]%, it will be a draw at best!

The Nottingham Forest players felt that the game was very uncomfortable.

No matter where they get the ball in the frontcourt, they feel that the opponent's players have several more players than their own.

It is difficult for the players on the field to see Luton's formation, but Billy Davis on the sidelines can see it very clearly.

Dense!

Luton's formation is very dense.

And the synergy of their left, right, front and back movements is very high, as if there is a rope tied to the Luton players.The result of this is that in the area where football is located, Luton has more players than Nottingham Forest.

It would be nice to be able to move out quickly.

Billy Davies saw the weakness of the formation right away, but seeing it was one thing and being able to do it was another.

Because Luton is not just about the movement of the formation, but also does a good job of marking Luton against the players with the ball. No Nottingham Forest players can transfer the ball out in a wide range under close pressure. They can protect the ball without losing the ball.

The game lasted 10 minutes, and the game was uneventful. Nottingham Forest's possession of the ball was good, at least so far they have not made any mistakes.

However, Luton fans are still singing and dancing. After all, in the eyes of the fans, Nottingham Forest and Luton are no longer teams of the same level-one is in the British Championship and the other is in the British Second Division.

And Gao Bo is not in a hurry. He is very satisfied with the content of the game during this period. The team's defense has been impeccable. Up to now, Nottingham Forest has only obtained some passing space on the periphery and two sides. As for shooting, the two teams combined have zero shots.

In Gao Bo's tactics, possession of the ball is not emphasized, so Nottingham Forest has the vast majority of possession, Gao Bo is not surprised.For Gao Bo, if he wants to win, the first thing he needs is defense!
But if you keep defending, you can't win the game.

Gao Bo also knew this, he looked at the game time.It is No. 203 minutes in the first half.From the beginning of the game to the present, although Nottingham Forest has won most of the ball possession, Gao Bo believes that the rhythm of the game is controlled by his side.

Because this is the situation Luton wants to see. Facing Luton's formation, Nottingham Forest's possession of the ball is scratching the surface, and Luton has not really exerted its strength yet!
By now, it's almost time for a change of pace!
