Port Vale Football Club is located in Boslem upon Stoke-on-Trent, the capital of porcelain in the west of England. Since its establishment in 1876, it has been hovering in the lower leagues, basically every year without promotion or relegation. Port Vale's home stadium is Vale Park Stadium, which can accommodate more than 22,000 people and is a very good professional stadium with perfect facilities.

For the grievances between the two teams, especially the grievances of Leeds United coach Wise, the media reporters before the game can be said to know well, and spent most of the transfer fee for a season to buy a big parallel goods, especially for the teams in League One, the already insufficient transfer fee is directly equivalent to saying that it is gone, and I believe that no matter who is in this situation, there will be a lot of resentment.

So before this much-awaited game started, a war of words had already begun to break out under the control of media reporters.

Although the head coach of Port Vale seemed to be a suave man who is not good at attacking opponents, or does not like to spit on much, as a professional manager, especially if he has a cheap one, it is still okay to set off smoke bombs and sell well.

"Leeds United have a good record this season, but in terms of our quality, we are not afraid of each other, not to mention the eyes of Leeds United manager Wise, although it seems that his players are playing very well now, but the season is still long." In the face of the reporter's interview, Port Vale coach Lemmon did not hesitate and directly said what the reporters wanted to know most.

Soon, Lemmon's words spread in the English League, of course, Coach Wise will definitely not be the last to know, he who always pays attention to the opponent already knew when Lemmon's words first came out, and he also knows that now the whole League One is watching how he fights back. However, Wise felt too casual when he came forward like this, and immediately instructed the captain to speak back first.

After receiving the instructions, Thompson opened fire directly in an interview with reporters, "As far as Port Vale head coach Lemmon is concerned, I think in the position of head coach, maybe Coach Wise is his senior, he has a lot to learn, such as talking less, we will wait for them at Elland Road Stadium, waiting to kick their ass." ”

Thompson's riback completely ignited the pre-game fire, and then Wise added fuel to the fire, "Lemon? As a manager, my team has been beating him since the beginning of the season, and I thought he should probably improve his team's ranking before talking to me about the rest! Wise fought back directly from the most fundamental record, and the reporters applauded Wise's words, indeed, it seems a little ridiculous for a manager whose team has never been ranked higher than his opponent to show his teeth and claws in front of someone who is still a strong man for him. But no matter what, the war of words between the two sides before the game completely stirred up the atmosphere of the game.

However, at this time, who has higher morale and more united teams on both sides can only be verified in the next games.

At the last moment before the game, the West Yorkshire Newspaper also interviewed Tang Fei in time, hoping that he could talk about his views on the game. For people like Tang Fei, who basically don't have any words in the media, this time he also took the opportunity to support coach Wise, "We will entertain them well, I hope Port Vale can have a good time, don't bleed!" ”

On the afternoon of November 18th, the weather seemed to feel the tension of the game today, and the originally somewhat clear sky slowly drifted a few large clouds, covering the entire Elland Road Stadium.

When the whole team in Port Vale arrived at the Elland Road stadium, the reporters who were already waiting there once again relayed Tang Fei's words to head coach Lemmon.

"Don? I think it's better for him to be humble now, especially for someone like him who feels a little famous and comes out to shout. Lemon frowned, very angry at Tang Fei's contempt.

At this time, Akop Sojie, who was following aside, directly took over the end of the conversation, "Tang Fei, I have heard of this name, a self-righteous central defender with a little achievement, it was because he didn't touch me before, I must teach him well in this game." As the current top scorer in Port Vale, last season's Konstantin was righted by head coach Lemmon after the transfer, and he felt that he had to teach Tang Fei a lesson when he was competing for the scorer list.

Subsequently, the two teams began to prepare for the game directly.

In the Leeds United dressing room, Wise looked at the players' fighting spirit and nodded with satisfaction, "Although this game has been constantly hyped by those chattering media reporters, you have to understand the meaning of this game, you have to play it as an ordinary game, and my goal is always 3 points, not other messy things." ”

At this time, Wise was already calm, the little thing before the game was just a performance, it was good to have a role, there was nothing to lose if there was nothing, it was better than nothing.

"You have to be calm on the pitch and don't think about how to lead the opponent by a big score. We're better than each other, they don't even have the qualifications to lift our shoes, so as long as we play properly, we can win the game. Wise shouted encouragement.

'That's right, we're the best in League One and our goal this season is only to win the trophy a few rounds earlier, and as for Port Vale, those sissies still want to win, and I feel like our youth team is better than them.' Hausen sat next to him with a mocking face, and laughed exaggeratedly when he finished speaking.

Looking at the atmosphere that had been lively, captain Thompson also encouraged: "That is, our Elland Road Stadium is the Devil's Stadium this season, we are the strongest team in League One, kill them!" The captain shouted and raised his right hand.

"Kill them!"

In the away team's dressing room at this time, Port Vale coach Lemmon had a serious face, "Although Leeds United has really played well this season, they are ranked above us. But who are we, we're old teams in League One, and we've got teams that have been relegated from the Championship in our hands, so, boys, if you work hard enough, we can win the game! ”

"Yes, sir."

"Now I will start to arrange the task, we are still fighting according to the established tactics in this game, but your forward line should pay special attention to the opponent's central defender Tang Fei, although I deliberately belittled him before the game, but for this Leeds United, Tang Fei is the command center of the back line, so he is indeed a hard bone." As he spoke, Lemmon looked at the forward Sojie and said, "Your task today is to break this hard bone for me, do you hear?" ”

"Yes, sir. I'm going to give him a hard lesson and show him what we can do in Port Vale. Akop-Sojie said with a firm face.

"Very well, the task of your backline is just as important this time, and the opponent is definitely a combination of high and fast strikers. For Flo, you have to have someone to keep him in the spot, don't let him easily stop the ball and turn around to shoot or make the ball to his teammates; And the other striker, Beckford, you just have to keep an eye on him, don't let his speed rush, once he is not limited, you must be decisive to foul, and never give him a chance to catch the ball. ”

The Port Vale backline nodded in their entirety.

"Alright, get ready, boys."

……………………

In the Elland Road stadium, the stadium is full, the white Leeds United logo covers most of the stadium stands, and the fans are singing the Leeds United team song "Forward Together".

Before the game began, the commentator who had already introduced the starters of the two teams began to explain some grievances between the two teams' head coaches.

"In the transfer before the start of this season, Leeds United coach Wise used a large transfer fee to sign Port Vale striker Konstantin, who scored 22 goals in 42 games last season, because after the relegation, the original luxury forward line was all gone, so this deal was seen as a big supplement to Leeds United at the time, but unfortunately it has become a joke now, Konstantin's performance this season has completely pitted Wise, Coach Wise has been ready to send him away, but for such a long time, There was no response from even one club, so it seems that everyone is a little scared. ”

As the referee Murphy looked at the watch in his hand, and then signaled to the assistant referee to enter the field. The players of the two teams followed behind the three referees and walked into the Elland Road stadium one by one, and immediately, the stands resounded with a landslide and tsunami cheers.

"Hello audience friends. Welcome to the 18th round of the 06/07 League One season, where Leeds United host Port Vale, and I, Anders, will be commenting on the game today. Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins. ”

At the beginning of the game, Port Vale posed a 4123 shaping in this game, and the team mainly relied on two wingers to open the situation, but unfortunately although the offensive strategy specified by coach Lemmon before the game, after all, Leeds United was stronger than himself, so that Port Vale players opened the game based on the midfield to defend and counterattack.

Port Vale's opening tactics did not surprise Wise, so he explained before the game that if the opponent defended and counterattacked, he should be aggressive and break the deadlock on the court as soon as possible.

In the face of such a big gift, the Leeds United players in the front field accepted it without hesitation, so as soon as the game began, Leeds United pressed all the way, brought the fire to the opponent's half, began to create opportunities, tried to open the scoring, and then forced the opponent out to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

"It was captain Thompson who had the ball, and he was dribbling the ball down the left flank. Oh, Port Vale right wing-back Joe Kadir stepped forward to press, Thompson passed the ball to Douglas who received it, it was a one-two, the ball returned to Thompson's feet, continued to dribble, he was already on the edge of the box, right-back Paul Hasler directly tackled him to the ground, but the referee did not give a penalty, but signaled him Thompson to get up quickly and continue the game. Anders watched the replay as he commented, "Now we see the replay on the big screen, and obviously Hasler had a tripping move at the same time as he tackled, but because he tackled the ball first, there was no foul. ”

On the court, Thompson stood up and said something to the referee, pointing at his feet from time to time, although he had a little opinion about the decision just now.
