The British commentator said with some schadenfreude when he saw Klopp, who was slightly anxious on the sidelines.

"I've said before that if Leeds are underbeaten, they will probably lose this game.

Outcome... Millwall did take the lead.

Although Millwall's goal came from a low-level mistake by Leeds United goalkeeper Arrios, this was something that no one expected.

But, in other words, isn't Arrios's save a sign of underestimating the enemy? ”

Compared with the gloating of the British commentators, Wang Kai still believes in Leeds United and Klopp.

'Leeds United and Millwall made changes at the same time, and now time is running out for Leeds United.

In this game, Lu Feng did not have any outstanding performance, and the fatigue of the journey to the national team match day made his physical fitness a little poor, and he was obviously not in shape.

Hopefully, in the final moment, Landwind can step up again to save Leeds United! ”

......

Although Lu Feng is burdened with the hopes of many Chinese fans, although there are still many people who are optimistic about Leeds United, although Klopp has made substitution adjustments, although Leeds United has the advantage on the field.

But until the end of the second half, Leeds were unable to score.

Counting three minutes of stoppage time, Leeds blasted around Millwall's goal in the final 10 minutes.

In that time, Leeds had seven shots on goal, five of which were on target, but still failed to find the back of the net from Millwall goalkeeper Olenik.

In this game, in fact, not only the Millwall goalkeeper Olenik and Millwall's backline played well, but more importantly, Leeds United's luck was simply not at the same level as Millwall.

Not to mention Millwall's ordinary counter-attack, a simple shot on goal caused Leeds United to make a mistake and get the goal.

As far as Leeds United's shot in this game is concerned, Lady Luck is completely on Millwall's side,

At full-time, Leeds had a total of five shots on goal, hitting either the woodwork or the crossbar. In the closing stages of the second half, Leeds even had two shots hit the woodwork and the post in quick succession.

Lu Feng's own shots have appeared like this twice.

One was a superb long-range shot from outside the box that got past Millwall goalkeeper Olenik but was denied by the post.

Another time was a corner kick, Lu Feng grabbed the first landing point in front of the goal, but Lu Feng's header hit the crossbar.

In such a situation, you really can't blame the Leeds United players for not being angry.

It's not that we don't work hard, it's that the enemy is too cunning.

Millwall goalkeeper Olenik didn't say anything, so many shots were rejected by the goal, which team to change to, it is estimated that they will hate the field.

The only difference is that it may have been a change of team, and the score of this game would not be 1-0, but 0-0.

After all, a low-level mistake like Leeds United goalkeeper Arrios is rare for any normal goalkeeper.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, there was a huge cheer at Millwall's home stadium.

"It's unbelievable! Millwall actually held their goal in the game! Didn't concede a goal for a full 90 minutes! I believe that this result must have been something that many people didn't expect before the game, right? Leeds United fans must have felt that this game would be over in 20 minutes. The British commentator said excitedly.

"Despite their frequent second-half moves, Leeds couldn't break Millwall's goal. Millwall's players are clearly out in form.

Under the leadership of Millwall's talented goalkeeper Olenik, they played with confidence, gave their best in every defence and managed to keep the goal!

More crucially, they took advantage of their chances, scored and eventually won on their home turf against Leeds United, who were far superior to them.

This game, for Leeds United, must have been a result that they never dreamed of.

Let's congratulate Millwall on all three points. ”

......

On the sidelines, Klopp couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He really didn't have much to say about this game.

Is it true that the Leeds players are not working hard enough? No! They work hard!

If Leeds United may have been a little light in the first half, in the second half, Lu Feng and other core main players on the field, as well as the overwhelming advantage of the whole game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Leeds United players are also working hard and want to win this game.

Unfortunately, the result of the game was not as good as expected.

In this game, it was completely Millwall goalkeeper Olenik who played too well and Leeds United's bad luck that everyone can't be blamed.

Glancing at the Leeds United players who were still hanging their heads on the pitch, Klopp sighed deeply.

You have to reassure the players and prepare for the next FA Cup game.

......

At the post-match press conference, Klopp appeared very calm in the face of cross-examination by media reporters.

'It doesn't matter if you win or lose this game, Millwall are better and they deserve to win!

The lads worked hard, we didn't underestimate it, we just weren't lucky.

In the league, there are no weak teams, every team deserves respect, and every team has strong strength.

It's too early to talk about the league title, the league isn't over yet, many teams have the quality to compete for the top spot, and Leeds are only aiming for promotion.

As for the FA Cup, Southampton are a tough opponent and we have to give it our all against them, and as for the result – just enjoy the game. ”

Klopp's remarks were quickly reprinted by many British media.

Many media reporters wondered, why did Klopp change his tune after losing a game, wasn't he still bound to win the league title before?

Could it be that these Leeds United games are very thrilling, and the hidden dangers at the back make Klopp full of worries?

As for Southampton being a formidable opponent? Trick the devil to go.

Although Southampton has always been a team in the upper middle of the Premier League, but in terms of Southampton's recent form, can they be a strong opponent?

Klopp is setting off smoke bombs at Southampton, wanting Southampton players to underestimate the enemy?

With such questions, many people interviewed Southampton's main coach, now the acting head coach.

"Leeds are very strong, I've seen their games, they are a team that has always played very well and the players are very motivated.

I'm optimistic that Leeds United will win the Championship and be promoted to the Premier League.

There are often upsets in the FA Cup, so against Leeds we can't take it lightly and we'll give it our all to fight Leeds United and try to reach the last four.

As for the outcome of the match, no one can say for sure, but the winner must be the best side. ”

The words of the acting manager of Southampton have also been wildly reprinted by the media.

Many well-meaning media think that Klopp's strategy of taking the initiative to show weakness is useless, look at Southampton's reaction, go all out.

This means that Southampton will most likely play with the main force, and it is impossible for Klopp to make the opponent weaker.

Despite the media hype, it was surprising that, apart from Jurgen Klopp's remarks at the post-match press conference against Millwall, no one on Leeds' side came out to answer the call, as if they had forgotten about it.

This was a great disappointment for the media.

Leeds United actually coaxed? That's not a good idea, isn't it?

The war of words, naturally, you want to sing and I will take the stage, so that it can bring traffic and attention.

The media, naturally, like such a war of words.

But who would have thought that after Klopp provoked the topic and the acting coach of Southampton responded, Leeds United was silent.

Ah, what are you doing here, playing with everyone!

The media was so angry that Leeds United didn't know that after the game, Leeds United had targeted training for Southampton.

For a long time, Klopp has always wanted to make a breakthrough in the FA Cup, so naturally he has to take it seriously.

And just like that, day by day, the day against Southampton came.

......

In this FA Cup Leeds United vs Southampton, Leeds United are at home against away Southampton.

The reason why the pre-match war of words was not provoked was because of Klopp's reprimand.

Jurgen Klopp believes that Leeds' biggest problem is not a problem of strength, but a problem of mentality.

In terms of strength alone, Leeds United is completely mid-table in the Premier League, although the defense is a little worse, but it is not so difficult to play in the Championship, and the last few games, even if the Leeds United have won, are also very thrilling.

This is a fundamental match for the strength of Leeds United.

In the end, it's because of a change in the mentality of the Leeds players.

The previous wave of wins, leading the league standings and soaring in the FA Cup, made the Leeds United players a little fluttery, thinking that they were invincible.

In fact, even a Championship team has strength, and the gap between Leeds United and these Championship teams is not as big as imagined.

And once Leeds United players underestimate the enemy, it is easy to cause all kinds of problems.

In response to this, Klopp first held a team meeting and then closed the training in order to calm down the players and take the game seriously.

As for the war of words, Klopp thinks it doesn't matter, those are external forces, and the important thing is to play well. As long as the game is won, it doesn't matter what the media say.

On the other hand, if you lose the game, no matter how fierce the war of words before the game, it is meaningless.

As the players from both sides came out, the Southampton players were greeted by Leeds United fans – a huge boo.

However, the faces of the Southampton players did not change, and one by one they performed as usual.

As a mid-table team in the Premier League, with the occasional challenge to Europe, Southampton's players have a strong sense of self-confidence.

No matter how good Leeds United have been lately, they are not yet a Championship team.

Even if it is promoted to the Championship, it is difficult to say whether it will be relegated from the Premier League next season.

As for Southampton, the team that can impact the European zone, the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Every Southampton player believes they can beat their opponents as long as they don't underestimate them, even on the road.

They were well prepared for this, and how could the boos in the stands affect them?

Southampton ended their losing streak in their last league game and emerged victorious, beating Chelsea 2-1 at home.

The win over Chelsea also gave them a lot of self-confidence.

No matter how good Leeds United is, can they compare to the giants Chelsea?

What's more, Southampton's original manager has improved, and all Southampton players are eager to celebrate the manager's recovery with an FA Cup title.

So when Southampton conceded the ball just thirteen minutes into the game, they were a little unresponsive – what's going on?

"Oh, pretty! Adiyac! It was his first goal in the FA Cup! Adiyak isn't the type of player who is good at scoring, and as a midfielder, defense is his forte.

But in the face of such a great opportunity. Not scoring a goal seems a bit too much! ”

The British commentator shouted excitedly.

"Thirteen minutes into the game, a goal from Adiyak rewrote the score! Leeds United are at home and now lead Southampton 1-0! ”

Such a good opportunity was created by Lu Feng, who and after he and the rest of his team-mates had caught the attention of Southampton's defence, they suddenly passed the ball to Adiyak in front.

When Adiyak got the ball on the line of the penalty area, he didn't even have a single defender. As the commentator should have said, how could such a good chance not score?

So when Adiyak didn't hesitate to shoot a low shot, the ball slipped past the Southampton goalkeeper on the turf and flew into the goal.

The entire Elland Road stadium shook instantly, as if there was an earthquake that was limited to this place!

In stark contrast to the elated Leeds United players, the Southampton players looked stunned.

They never expected that in the first thirteen minutes, their team would concede a goal.

What's going on, didn't you say that you wouldn't lose to them if you didn't underestimate the enemy?

Leeds relied on that goal in the first half to give Southampton a home lead.

Southampton have also tried to fight back, but they have not been able to break through Klopp's carefully assembled defence for Southampton, let alone threaten goalkeeper Langerak who came on as a substitute for Weidenfeller.

Until the end of the first half, they failed to score and had to return to the dressing room with hatred.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Southampton's performance didn't change much in the second half.

Their offense does not seem to be a cohesive one. Everyone relies more on simple routines and personal strength to attack.

'This Southampton team seems to have diminished in their ability to deal with difficulties when they are in a difficult situation.

The reason why Southampton was able to beat Chelsea in the last game was entirely because Chelsea played semi-main because of the Champions League, and the team as a whole was not in shape, not how well Southampton played.

After the Southampton manager became seriously ill and the assistant coach took over, Southampton's attack has always been very problematic, and he was able to score two goals in the last game, which was already the best game for Southampton in recent times. ”

The British commentator commented while shaking his head and sighing.
