Football card system

This is a translated Cn, it had been already translated up to 267 on this platform so I picked from there. In 2008, Gao Bo took over as the head coach of Luton Town, a team that had been deducted 30 points at the start of the season. This meant that they were almost certain to be relegated. However, Gao Bo, who had over ten years of experience with a football card system, used his knowledge to defy the odds and achieve a remarkable turnaround. Against all expectations, Luton Town managed to secure a successful promotion, marking the beginning of Gao Bo's legendary journey to become one of the best coaches in the world.

Chapter 268: Leading

On April 9th, at the Wosilu Stadium, it was the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals!

Luton played at home against Wolfsburg!!

The Wosilu Stadium was packed, and the atmosphere was already at its peak even before the players came out.

The fans held various slogans and waved flags, waiting for the start of the game.

Luton's fans were undoubtedly excited because after this game, they would enter the semifinals of the Europa League. The Meiyoun Football Fans Association thought that Luton would lose the game! They had absolute confidence in Gaobo and the players.

And more importantly, if Luton can go one step further, they will make history by entering the Europa League final!

The champion of the Europa League is also the champion of Europe!!!

"We want the European championship!!!!"

Before the game started, a little Luton fan held up a slogan. The slogan he wrote on this piece of cardboard with a black marker pen was particularly eye-catching!

"This is Luton's ambition!! Can they create miracles?"

Leitgensun appeared on the commentator's seat in the stands, and beside him was still England football legend Redknapp!

"As long as they make it to the semifinals, and then go one step further! That will be the final!! Anything can happen in the final!!!" Redknapp said.

"In fact, the biggest test is in the semifinals!! Luton will face the biggest test in the semifinals. As a dark horse, can they go all the way?"

Leitgensun didn't seem to have much discussion about this game, perhaps because this game was already a foregone conclusion.

Luton led their opponents by two net goals, and they also had four away goals. With such a big advantage, how could Luton lose?

Therefore, before the start of the game, the British media generally believed that this was a game without any suspense.

On the other hand, the German media had been cheering for Wolfsburg for several days.

"...Anyway, Luton's basic level is just a third-level team. Although they seem to have a considerable advantage now, if you analyze it carefully, Wolfsburg also has the possibility of advancing. They lost 4-2 at home to Luton, but let's look at Wolfsburg's recent game situation-they always have a big loss followed by a big win! Such a winning and losing frequency may be good news for Wolfsburg's fans!" The "Deutsche Sports Zeitung" wrote in the newspaper.

Kostner also didn't give up.

"Our goal is to win by at least three goals more than them!!!"

At this time, in the home team's locker room, Gaobo was also making the final pre-match mobilization.

"The only thing I need to emphasize is that we must not take it lightly!! Don't be misled by this score!!" Gaobo emphasized.

"They only need to lead us by three goals to advance. Is a three-goal lead a big advantage?"

Since Wolfsburg was pressing high up the pitch, Kanté carried the ball forward after winning the ball and attracted the attention of Wolfsburg's midfielder, Roussillon, before passing the ball to Griezmann!

Griezmann did not stop the ball but chipped it diagonally behind the Wolfsburg defense before continuing to sprint forward!

Vardy rushed out from the backline!

"Vardy has the ball!!! This is almost a one-on-one!!!"

Vardy dribbled forward and entered the penalty area!

Center-back Barzagli followed closely~ Vardy's preferred foot is his right foot, but at this moment, he was on the left side of the penalty area, and he did not have much confidence in shooting with his left foot.

But Luton's counterattack was not just Vardy alone!

Vardy swung his left foot as if to shoot!!

Goalkeeper Lenz was guarding the near post and blocked Vardy's shooting line!

However, this time Vardy only faked the shot, and after his left foot landed, he suddenly took another step forward!

This allowed Vardy to find the passing line, and he swept the ball towards the middle with his left foot!

Griezmann had already rushed up!

The other center-back, Madlung, did not keep up with Griezmann!

Griezmann pushed the ball with the inside of his right foot, and the ball flew into the empty goal!

One-nil!

Luton takes the lead at home!
