Chapter 269: Entering the Top Four by Killing the Way

Leitenson in the commentator's booth jumped up!

"Antoine Griezmann!!!! It's him again!!!! He once again helped Luton score!!!!"

"1-0!! Total score 5-2!!!"

"Beautiful!!! Although the game has just started, we can now be sure that Luton will advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League!!!"

"No doubt about it!!!"

Along with Leitenson's passionate commentary, the fans in the stands also jumped up from their seats!

Everyone knows what this goal means!!

If there were still doubts among the fans before the game about whether Luton could make it to the Europa League semi-finals, now everyone knows that there is no suspense!!!

Look at Luton's counterattack!! Look at their speed and efficiency in the counterattack!!

If Wolfsburg still wants to continue their attack, their defense line will definitely have a large gap for Luton's players to gallop through. If they defend, Luton, who has a three-goal lead, can also slowly play with Wolfsburg.

Luton can be said to have an unbeatable position now!!

...

Griezmann's eyes were fixed on the football until it crossed the goal line, and then he raised his arms and rushed to the corner flag.

Recently, Griezmann has come up with a new way of celebrating.

He always felt that opening his arms and roaring like Vardy was too inelegant and lacked technical content, so he came up with his own after practicing it many times in private. Today he finally had the chance to use it.

Originally, Gaobo was still applauding Griezmann's goal, but when he saw Griezmann's movements, he immediately held his forehead.

Isn't this Griezmann's iconic "666" dance...

Gaobo thought that after he brought Griezmann from Real Sociedad's B team to England, this dance would probably disappear along with Griezmann's personal experience, but he didn't expect it to appear in this game.

Griezmann's shaking and swaying quickly attracted the attention of the camera.

At this time, the celebration moves of the current football stars are still relatively traditional, mostly based on passion and dominance, and restrained dance celebrations like this are really rare.

"Griezmann did a... rather strange celebration move..."

Leitenson couldn't find the right adjective for this move for a while.

Vardy was not polite: "Your celebration move is too ugly, Antoine!!!"

He rubbed Griezmann's head while saying so.

Griezmann: "This is fashion, you just don't appreciate it..."

Fortunately, Ali, Drinkwater and others who came up next didn't see Griezmann's celebration move.

After the players celebrated, they returned to their own half of the field.

Gaobo didn't celebrate much either. This game was not difficult for him.

Playing at home with such a big advantage, if he couldn't play well, Gaobo wouldn't expect to win the Europa League championship.

The Luton team played more calmly after taking the lead, while Wolfsburg became more anxious. After more than ten minutes of play, they fell behind by another goal, making Wolfsburg players desperate.

They had lost their patience and resorted to long passes from the back as their main attacking tactic. However, Luton players' tight marking and pressure made their long passes inaccurate, and even when they managed to get the ball to Dzeko, Luton controlled the second ball.

When Luton won the ball, they looked to counter-attack, or patiently built up their attacks when there were no counter-attacking opportunities.

As Wolfsburg failed to create more chances, they conceded their second goal. In the 32nd minute, Luton intercepted Wolfsburg's long pass, and then Derlinqvist launched a counter-attack.

The ball was passed behind Wolfsburg's defense line, and Vardy ran forward at high speed. The Wolfsburg goalkeeper rushed out to compete with Vardy for the ball, but he was a step slower, and the ball fell to Griezmann's feet.

Although the distance between Griezmann and the goal was still more than 30 meters, facing an almost open goal, Griezmann did not miss the opportunity and scored with a right-footed shot. He then celebrated with his "666" dance, which was not well-received by some of his teammates and fans.

With Luton leading 2-0, they were already on their way to the Europa League quarterfinals. Although Koschna brought on a forward to strengthen their attack, Wolfsburg's cautious approach to Luton's counter-attacks weakened their own attack.

In the second half, both teams made substitutions, with Koschna bringing on a forward and Gaupo substituting George Park for Griezmann. Luton continued to play with a 5-4-1 formation, making it difficult for Wolfsburg to create chances.

As the match entered the last 10 minutes, almost all of Luton's fans stood up, waiting for the final whistle. Wolfsburg players also realized that the game was slipping away from them, and their attack gradually subsided.

First, he shook hands and hugged his assistants.

Then, as the host, he shook hands with Costerna and applauded the fans with both hands raised.

To say that Gabo was not excited about reaching the Europa League semi-finals would be false.

However, he had anticipated this result before the game even began. Therefore, he appeared calm only after the team advanced to the semi-finals.

Moreover, this is just entering the semi-finals.

Their ultimate achievement depends on the opponents they face in the semi-finals.

Gabo does not remember which team won the Europa League championship this season, but he remembers that Atletico Madrid has had a good relationship with the Europa League championship in recent years.

Also, Gabo paid close attention to Atletico Madrid's games.

Unlike the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid that Simeone built in the future, Manzano's Atletico Madrid is more Spanish, with passing and ball control that carry a strong Spanish style.

However, it has to be said that Atletico Madrid is indeed a strong team.

Therefore, Gabo believes that Valencia will find it challenging to eliminate Atletico Madrid and advance to the semi-finals away from home.

After the game, Gabo immediately paid attention to the result of Atletico Madrid's game that started at the same time.

As Gabo had anticipated, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0, entering the semi-finals.

Now, two out of the four teams in the Europa League quarter-finals have emerged, and the other two teams will be determined after the second day of the match!
