Chapter 270: Preparing for the FA Cup Final
Seeing Anina appear in his home, Lu Feng was not surprised at all.
In fact, he had already thought of this when he saw that his clothes had been changed.
Speaking of which, Anina is indeed a good woman, not only beautiful, but also intelligent and capable, and most importantly, very considerate and attentive.
If you want to be a girlfriend, it's really a good choice.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Feng hurriedly snorted twice in his heart, how could he think too much.
What is the matter with such an unclear relationship between the two people, last time I had to talk to Anina clearly, and the result...
It's hard to look back.
Now, people worked hard to take care of themselves yesterday and made breakfast for themselves, and obviously this is not the time to talk about this.
Well, be sure to look for an opportunity to make things clear.
So, Lu Feng agreed and sat down at the dining table.
"By the way, there are a few teams that are interested in you, what do you think?"
Lu Feng sat down, and Anina also sat down and whispered.
Lu Feng was not surprised by such a result at all, after all, it was a strange thing for this season to be so bright and not noticed.
"Which teams?" Lu Feng asked as he ate the breakfast made by Annina.
"Let's not talk about those ordinary teams, Liverpool and Arsenal in the United Kingdom, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and Dortmund in the Bundesliga are all interested in you, and they asked me for your opinion."
Anina didn't eat, but just looked at Lu Feng quietly and whispered.
"Liverpool?" Lu Feng was taken aback.
The dream of the army is not a joke, as Lu Feng, who has been a Liverpool fan since he was a child, heard that Liverpool was interested in him, and said in his heart that he was not excited, it must be fake.
Being able to wear Liverpool's shirt and play for Liverpool at Anfield Stadium is a scene that Lu Feng will only appear in his dreams.
Unexpectedly, there will really be a day of realization.
"Yes, Liverpool, they're interested in you." Anina nodded in confirmation.
"That..."Lu Feng almost wanted to say, what are you waiting for, let's agree.
However, then he thought about whether it was unreasonable for him to leave Leeds United after only half a season after agreeing to the request of the club owner.
Moreover, now Leeds United's tactical system is being built for him, he is the absolute core of Leeds United, and he gets along very well with his teammates and coaches, so it is indeed a bit too much to just leave.
'I know how tempting a team like Liverpool can be for you, and as a fan, it's natural to want to play for the team you love. Annina seemed to see through Lu Feng's inner struggle. "It's just that you're hesitating right now because you don't want to leave for a while because you think you're enjoying your stay at Leeds United, right?"
Facing Anina's gaze, Lu Feng could only nod.
"Actually, if you follow my advice, you still have to stay at Leeds United for two more years before leaving." Annina gave her opinion. "You're at the heart of Leeds United, the team builds tactics for you, and that's the kind of treatment you can't have when you go to a big team, even if you're a world-class star, it's impossible to tailor tactics for you in a big team.
You are still young, it is the time when your skills are advancing by leaps and bounds, there is no need to join the big team in advance for the sake of temporary pleasure, which is not good for your growth.
Too many young geniuses eventually fell because they joined the wealthy too early.
Although your current skills are enough to gain a foothold in the big team, it still takes a lot of effort to secure the position of the main team. If you have a manager who doesn't take you seriously, or if your competitors are in too good shape, you may not have a chance to play a few games throughout the season.
This is very detrimental to your growth.
And if you stay at Leeds United, after a few years, you are strong enough to grow to the top of the world, no matter which big club you join, you will be a first-line main player, enough to ensure playing time.
What's more, the growth time of the past few years has not been wasted. ”
After listening to Annina's words, Lu Feng was silent for a long time.
Anina said, why don't he understand, it's just that, as a Liverpool fan, it is really difficult to treat Liverpool's attention with a normal heart.
Moreover, the so-called main competition, Lu Feng also has absolute confidence.
Seeing Lu Feng's silence, Anina added.
"Liverpool are just interested in you, not too hungry for you, because at the moment, they have three front-court players in the team, all in good form, and they score 20+ goals every season.
Even if you join Liverpool, at most you will be a rotation player, and it is more likely that you will continue to go on loan.
Rather than that, you might as well really wait two more years and wait for Liverpool to run out of people up front before joining. ”
Lu Feng still didn't speak, and nodded.
As a Liverpool fan, he naturally knows that there is no shortage of strikers in the Liverpool team at the moment, as Anina said, now that he has joined Liverpool, there will not be too many opportunities.
It is not so much that Liverpool values the current strength of Land Breeze, but rather the future growth of Land Breeze. Sign with Land Breeze in advance, and if you can't give Land Breeze enough room to grow, most of them will choose to lease Land Breeze out.
However, on loan to any team, that team might be able to create a strategy for him like Leeds United, which is obviously impossible.
So, the land breeze soon seemed to be so.
"I understand, don't worry, you just have to reject all these messages. Joining a giant club is indeed a bit too far away for me now. ”
.......
The attention of these teams to Lu Feng was soon a small episode and passed.
After Lu Feng expressed his opinion and asked Anina to reply to those clubs, there was no follow-up.
After all, if Lu Feng himself is unwilling to join other teams, there is no way for other teams to do so.
The contract between Land Breeze and Leeds United is not subject to liquidated damages, which means that the initiative to release people is completely in the hands of the club.
And judging from the current state of Leeds United, this summer, they can't buy people, how can they let go of the core of the team.
What a stupid team it must be to do something like this.
Therefore, after Lu Feng expressed his attitude, except for some good things in the media, the news about Lu Feng's transfer did not cause widespread dissemination at all.
After winning the league title, Leeds United have two games left for the season.
The final round of the league, as well as the FA Cup final.
According to Klopp's idea, after winning the league championship, those substitute players will be played in the final league game, anyway, there is no requirement for results, and the weakness of the substitute strength is not tight.
Giving them more opportunities to play can also be regarded as a thank you and reward for them.
At the same time, it is also to allow the main players to rest enough to avoid injury.
After all, there is a more important FA Cup final ahead, and it is still necessary to stay and prepare for that game.
After all, the opponent is a Premier League team, and they have also reached the FA Cup final, so they cannot be easily underestimated.
。
So in the final game of the league, Leeds United hosted Sheffield United.
Jurgen Klopp has replaced almost all of his main players, even the goalkeeper.
The commentators and the media were not at all surprised that Jurgen Klopp replaced all the main players.
After all, Leeds United still have an important FA Cup final to play, and it is only natural for Jurgen Klopp to stay at this time.
If they don't, then they will have to suspect Klopp's golden head.
Leeds United came off the bench but at home they were very tenacious.
In the end, Leeds United drew 2-2 at home to Sheffield United and ended their league game unbeaten.
Although the team did not win at home, Leeds United fans didn't care. They are also basking in the great joy of the league title.
Now that the league title is in hand, they don't care about the result of this league.
Even if Leeds United lost this game, it would not affect the league standings in the slightest, so their cheers and singing did not diminish throughout the game.
And the Leeds United players, although they played as substitutes, also repaid the support of the fans with a unbeaten run.
Seeing this result, Blackburn didn't know how upset he was.
If they can beat Leeds United at home, they should be league champions now!
However, if Leeds do not win against Blackburn, it is natural that they will not be able to play all the substitutes in the final round of the league.
This is the end of the Championship.
Of the three promotion spots, Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers took two, while the remaining one was decided by teams in the 3-6 league through the promotion play-offs.
However, this has nothing to do with Leeds United, and their Championship journey is completely over.
Many Leeds United fans hope that they will never see Leeds United appear in the Championship again, and perhaps this is the last round of the Championship.
From then on, Leeds United just stayed in the Premier League.
Under Klopp's guidance, Leeds United relegation is absolutely impossible to be a problem.
.......
After the league ended, Leeds United went on holiday. Because the Championship ended relatively early, and the FA Cup game was relatively late, Klopp waved his hand and gave the players enough holidays.
Jurgen Klopp gave his players a full week off to relax before coming back to prepare for the FA Cup final.
During this time, the players can find a variety of places to vacation.
After taking time to go home during the holidays, Klopp returned to England to prepare for the FA Cup final, and Klopp also arranged a friendly match for the FA Cup final, a team from the Soviet Super League, Douglaz Rovers.
.......
Ten minutes into the game, Leeds United and Douglas Rovers exchanged attacks and defences, and Leeds United had a slight advantage at home.
In the eighteenth minute, Douglas Rovers had a fatal hole.
Silva suddenly pulled from the middle to the wing, received a pass from Lu Feng, and sent the ball into the box.
Robert received the ball, but because the box was too crowded, he couldn't turn around and shoot.
So he knocked the ball straight out of the penalty area.
Hernandez in the middle meets the ball and shoots angrily!
The football flew like a cannonball towards the goal of Schalke 04.
Although the goalkeeper of the Douglas Rovers made a flying save, he was blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area, and he did not immediately spot the glory on his feet.
When he saw the football flying over, it was too late, he soared in the air, and could only watch the football drill into the corner!
1-0, Leeds United, playing at home, temporarily leads.
Then, both Douglas Rovers and Leeds United missed some good chances.
Then, until the end of the first half, Douglas Rovers could not find an equaliser.
So at half-time, the Douglas Rovers coach criticized his players, telling them that even if they were warm-up games, they had to play well.
After the start of the second half, Douglas Rovers improved their performance and their attack became very threatening.
Leeds were even pushed back by the Douglas Rovers for a while.
Had it not been for a sudden long-range strike from Lu Feng in the 76th minute, perhaps Douglas Rovers would have been able to equalise.
Immediately afterwards, Klopp made a substitution.
After all, Klopp is experimenting with tactics, and he is not trying to do anything.
And the Douglas Rovers, after falling behind by two goals, were also suddenly deflated.
It was supposed to be a warm-up game, there was no need to fight to the death, and many of the Douglaz Rovers players had already gone to the holidays.
Therefore, in the final stage of the game, the two sides played very harmoniously, and they almost shook hands and hugged each other. finish
In the end, Leeds United beat Douglas Rovers 2-0 at home to win the warm-up game.
This game also made Klopp realize that the team's problems are still the same, and the defensive problems are big.
Therefore, in the following targeted training, Klopp deliberately trained the team's defense.
At the same time, the defence of set-pieces was also trained.
As for the tactics against Newcastle, does that need to be said?
Naturally, it was an offense.
In the duel with Blackburn, Klopp used conservative tactics, and the experience of almost being overturned seems to be still vivid, and he will naturally not forget it.
Leeds United is a team that is naturally suitable for offense and defense, and it is really not suitable for their style.
Therefore, Klopp set a tone, that is, after the opening game, quickly rush to score goals.
After that, whether Leeds continue to attack or play defensively, the initiative will be in Leeds United's hands. And this kind of rhythm is what Leeds United do best, and they rarely lose games.
As for whether Leeds can score in the early stages of the game, Klopp is not worried about this, after all, Leeds United know all too well what they can do.
Newcastle's defense is not so strong.
Leeds United rushed to attack in the opening stage, which was definitely unthinkable for Newcastle, as long as the opponent was caught off guard, then the possibility of success of this tactic is still very high.
