Chapter 106 Matt's Role
Chapter 106 Matt's Role
The soft lights of Wembley Rainbow Bridge evenly sprinkled on every leaf of the pitch turf, and players from both sides ran into the pitch under the illumination of the lights!
Nearly 90,000 fans cheered at the scene, and the second half of the game is about to start!
Adam and Matt stood on the sidelines, one of them was 198 cm, and the other had grown to 170 cm, but the height contrast was still very strong.
They all have their own shortcomings, but equally, their characteristics are also very prominent.
That's why Gao Bo uses both of them as regular backups for the ball.
On the football field, there are many players with flaws, but as long as they have one very prominent feature, such players are often better than those with average abilities.
As it is now, Gao Bo wants to increase his personal breakthrough, so he replaces Adam, he wants to strengthen aerial work, and Matt can go into battle.
With almost a minute left in the second half, Gao Bo hugged Matt and explained in detail: "In the second half, there are likely to be many crosses from the wing of Arsenal. I need you to control the high point in the penalty area and return when defending. Go to our box and attack into their box!! Like last time against Manchester City! Got it? Matt!"
Matt was a little uncomfortable bending over, but in order to take care of the coach's height, he still tried to bend down and listen. When Gao Bo finished speaking, he nodded sharply.
"I see, boss!"
Gao Bo patted Matt's back: "Focus!! Matt, be sure to stay focused on the court!!!"
At this time, the fourth official has raised the sign of substitution.
"Before the second half, Luton is going to make a substitution! Adam on the 11th, he replaces Lewis Emanuel on the 7th, and Matt Schmidt on the 19th replaces the number 32 Hassan Ali!!"
At this time, the two players to be replaced were already sitting on the bench, so the fourth official sign was raised, and the two immediately got the permission of the referee and ran into the field.
.....
Wenger was sitting on the bench, and he had basically expected Luton's substitution before the end of the first half.
Do you want to switch to a high center to attack?
Wenger smiled slightly, young people are just impulsive...
If Luton presses up to attack, their formation is bound to rely on the top, and then behind them is the grassland where Arsenal strikers are galloping.
There is basically no suspense in this game!
Wenger sat on the coach's bench and thought, he looked at Gao Bo who was standing on the sidelines with some pity.
To be honest, Wenger quite appreciates the refreshing tactical system created by Gao Bo in Luton.
The overall dense formation and coordinated movement, whether it is pressing on the offense or retreating to defense, or pressing in the frontcourt, are the overall cooperation of the team. Destroy the opponent's team.
It's not easy for Arsenal to beat such a well-trained team if the gap between the players on both sides is not that big. . . .
But unfortunately, it is a pity that Wenger must get the ticket to the FA Cup final.
Arsenal have been without a championship for four years. If they continue to fail to win a championship this year, the pressure on Wenger will increase. …
This year is the best chance to beat Luton and make it to the final! !
Wenger's eyes are firm!
In the opening stages of the second half, things also seemed to be as Wenger expected, with Luton really looking to attack when he had the ball.
In fact, Luton also plays the tactic of directly playing the high ball to let the center grab the point. They still like to play the frontcourt through cooperation, and then pass the threatening ball after tearing up the space.
Drinkwater and Vardy crossed the ball and pushed the ball into the frontcourt, then Drinkwater passed the ball to Adam White's feet.
The front pass is laid out for this, to create a one-on-one opportunity for Adam White!
This is Luton's side burst point!
Now Adam White takes the ball one-on-one to face Ebrahimovic, first letting the ball to his main foot and then slowing down.
Gao Bo has equipped Adam White with all the cards. With the increase of the cards, Gao Bo believes that in a one-on-one situation, Abe is by no means Adam's opponent.
Sure enough, Adam's very fast fake movements made Abe a little dizzy, and then Adam suddenly cut in from the outside, ready to wipe it from Abe's side.
At this time, Abu's head is sober, and Adam must not be allowed to break into the penalty area like this! !
So he reached out and pulled Adam to the ground!
beep......
The referee's whistle sounded!
foul! !
Gao Bo rushed to the sidelines, he was just about to put pressure on the referee loudly, so that the referee could issue a yellow card or something.
However, as soon as he rushed out, he saw that the referee had taken out a yellow card from his pocket, so Gao Bo immediately applauded vigorously and even gave the referee a thumbs up.
Now it was Wenger's turn to be dissatisfied, and he also rushed to the sidelines, spreading his hands.
"This is a yellow card?!!"
Wenger questioned loudly.
"Of course this is a yellow card!! How can this not be a yellow card!!!"
After hearing Wenger say this, Gao Bo also said immediately.
"There's nothing wrong with you here, little boy!!"
"Hey..."
The two head coaches got closer and closer, and it seemed that they were going to meet directly.
The fourth official ran over immediately and stood between the two.
"Pay attention to your position, Mr. Coach!!"
Both head coaches walked away angrily.
Wenger looked at the situation on the field.
Want to create a threat with a personal breakthrough?
What Wenger is most worried about is that if Ebb gets a second yellow card by Adam again, it will be very difficult...
"Alexander!!! Go and help Emman!!!!" Wenger called out to Alexander Song from the sidelines.
Song also knew that the opponent had now replaced a wing blaster. It seemed that Abu had no upper hand when confronting the opponent, so he would need to lean on Abu more in the future.
Adam created a free kick from the left side of the frontcourt for the team, two central defenders came up to participate in the attack, and two forwards, Vardy and Matt Schmidt, were also in the penalty area.
Kevin Keane handles the ball.
When he passed the ball into the box, it was a good pass! !
Matt Schmidt headed for the ball! !
The weakness of Arsenal's two central defenders' lack of height has been exposed! Matt Schmidt easily won the high-altitude ball.
It's just that he headed the ball a little higher.
Rao was like this, and it also caused an exclamation from the stands.
Arsenal fans were full of joy after exclaiming, and for Luton fans, they immediately gave out a burst of enthusiastic cheers!
This is Luton's closest attack since the start of the game! And it was Luton's initiative to create an offensive, which gave Luton fans the hope of an equalizer.
Wenger was also taken aback. To be honest, it was really difficult to guard against the opponent's attack with set-pieces. After all, the back line was full of wounded soldiers, so Wenger had to send such a pair of central defenders. His partner, in the high-altitude ball defense, the undersized Kolo Toure and the already old Silvites are difficult to compete with the young Luton center.
Still have to score the second goal as soon as possible! !
The emergence of such a dangerous situation made Arsenal realize that a one-to-zero lead is absolutely not safe.
So next, Arsenal seemed to be provoked, and they immediately launched the attack!
This time Wenger found the difference in Luton, their high center Matt Schmidt actually returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense?
what is this?
Fengwei swing people?
When Wenger saw Matt Schmidt headed Arshavin's cross over the touchline, the French coach's face was contorted...
