Victory over Arsenal like this is not something to be proud of, and what really makes Li Chengfeng happy is that Chelsea finally missed once, they lost to Jose Mourinho's Manchester United. The "most special one" used his best defensive counter-attack to take out Antonio Conte's Chelsea 2-0.

Although Manchester United's performance in the league this season has not been good, and the hope of finishing in the top four of the league is no longer great, but Mourinho has found another way to find a breakthrough in the Europa League, and if he can win the championship, it can be regarded as a curve to save the country.

Now Leeds United's lead has been extended to seven points, and with only five league games remaining, the suspense is already small. Perhaps Li Chengfeng will be able to achieve the feat of defending the Premier League title with two different teams this season.

Leeds United players were also excited as they continued their efforts to knock out Borussia Dortmund and return to the league to beat Liverpool on the road.

Although Liverpool took the lead in breaking through Leeds United's goal, in the 24th minute, Coutinho's direct free kick from 25 yards out hit a perfect arc, and the ball went around the human wall and spun into the bottom left corner of the gate, 1-0!

Liverpool took the lead at home and their pressing style of play caused a lot of problems for Leeds United's attack. However, Liverpool's defensive problems have not been solved, and the problem of defensive weakness in the back caused by high pressing still exists.

In the 42nd minute, Kimmich launched an attack with a long pass, Milner broke through the cross on the right, and Modeste outflanked it in front of the goal and easily scored the goal, and the score became 1-1!

Leeds had a chance near the end of the first half, and in the 45th minute, James Maddison broke through and crossed, Modeste unloaded the ball and volleyed sideways, but Mignolet confiscated the ball.

At the start of the second half, Liverpool stepped up their attack in the hope of opening up the situation as soon as possible. In the 50th minute, Lucas passed the ball, and Coutinho stepped on the ball beautifully in front of the penalty area and fired a left-footed volley high to hit the ball high. Coutinho then forced his feet to kick the goal in the penalty area, but Akanji blocked it with his body.

In the 56th minute, Klein crossed from the right, Coutinho grabbed the header and hit the goal, the ball hit Origi and deflected and flew out of the bottom line. In the 65th minute, Wijnaldum broke through the ball, Firmino fired a powerful low shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the ball rubbed against the defender and deflected off the bottom line.

Liverpool's attacking play was many, but their shooting efficiency was low, with only Coutinho's free-kick on goal wide of the woodwork and all the others deflected wide. Liverpool haven't had a striker since Torres, and the only Sturridge who is reasonably efficient is also a glass man.

In contrast, Leeds United's counter-attacking efficiency was much higher. In the 71st minute, Modeste had his back in the penalty area, and Milner turned in front of the goal to hit the ball high. In the 74th minute, Salah took a corner kick from the right side, Maddison rubbed it, and Modeste headed the ball in front of the goal to break the net, 2-1! Modeste scored twice! He has also scored nearly 20 goals in all competitions this season, and together with Belotti, he has propped up Leeds' attack.

After that, Liverpool fought back desperately but could not turn the tables, with only one shot on target from 14 shots in the game, and their forwards should have been pulled out to show the public.

The final score was 3-1, and Leeds United scored another goal through a counter-attack by substitute Mbappe to end the game and maintain a seven-point advantage.

Since the advantage of the league is big enough, Li Chengfeng naturally chose to rotate to prepare for the Champions League semi-final with Juventus. In Li Chengfeng's view, the Champions League is more important than the league, Leeds United has reached this point, he naturally has no reason to give up, even if Leeds United drew at home with the weak Burnley, he also thinks it is worth it.

However, the match against Juventus did not come to a perfect result, with Leeds United losing 1-2 at home.

After the opening, both teams cautiously tested each other, Juventus was worried about Leeds United's youthful energy, while Li Chengfeng was more worried about Juventus' counterattack.

Unlike the recklessness of Monaco and Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, the old woman, can be said to be cunning and cunning, they can do whatever it takes to win, and they are more patient. Allegri is also an old fox, he changed his previous 4-3-1-2 tactics and opted for 3-4-2-1, patiently maneuvering with Leeds United to sharpen their spirit.

Juventus tried to attack after the opening kick-off, then immediately shrank back and waited for Leeds to counter-attack. Leeds United's youngsters were patient at first looking for opportunities, but they were slowly lured and pressed out.

Young people are always young and vigorous, and it is impossible for them to shrink their eggs like old women, and Li Chengfeng has no way to suppress their nature.

Leeds United are starting to make a difference. Dembele headed in a corner from the left, Maguire nodded in and Kimmich crossed the ball over the top into the box before Mbappe's header from seven yards was denied by Buffon. Leeds soon made a comeback, Kimmich crossed from the right, and Mbappe took advantage of a left-footed half-volley from a tight angle seven yards out and was blocked by Buffon in the near corner.

Leeds United missed a succession of chances, but Juventus were the first to open the scoring. In the 29th minute, Dybala made a wonderful backheel pass on the right side of the backfield, Alves took the ball and passed it to Higuain, and then cut forward at high speed to respond to Higuain's straight stop, and the right heel cross of the penalty area, Higuain pushed into the upper left corner 12 meters in front of the goal, 1-0.

Leeds United equalized soon after the start of the second half, and in the 48th minute, Juventus made a mistake in the back, Salah broke the ball at the top of the penalty area, and Belotti pushed the net from 9 meters in front of the goal, 1:1.

Juventus almost opened the scoring again in the 54th minute, when Marchisio broke the ball from the right rib and burst into the box with a single shot, and his shot from 10 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Ederson's outstretched foot. Monaco immediately counter-attacked, Kimmich slotted through, and Mbappe cut into the box on the left and shot from 11 yards was blocked.

Leeds insisted on attacking, but in front of Juventus' defense, they didn't get many chances, but Juventus had more chances, which is a gap in experience that is difficult to make up.

Juventus extended the score in the 59th minute! Alves and Dybala grabbed Milner on the right, Dybala split the ball, Alves crossed from the right, Higuain shoveled into the near corner with his left foot from 5 meters from the goal, 2-1.

Leeds United's attack struggled to work against a spicy Juventus side, and with a late free-kick from the right that Maguire headed over the crossbar by Buffon from seven yards, Leeds eventually lost 2-1 at home to Juventus, casting a shadow over their hopes of qualifying.

With three rounds left in the league and a five-point lead, Li Chengfeng still decided to take the risk of fighting for the Champions League. The league champions Leeds United already have it, and only the Champions League can elevate Leeds United.

Leeds United suffered their biggest defeat of the season against Manchester City, losing 4-0 away to their opponents.

After a season of running-in, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have shown strong potential. Although this season is only worthy of the top four, the upward trend is clear. Perhaps next season, they will be strong contenders for the league title. Pep Guardiola's ability should not be underestimated, especially with the full support of Petro Jinyuan, he can build the perfect team of his own mind.

This summer alone, Manchester City spent nearly £200 million on buying people, with a net investment of more than £160 million, while Leeds United spent less than £50 million on the entire season, and the net investment for the whole season is less than a tenth of Manchester City's. So now Leeds United have amassed a vote of young talent, but apart from the main line-up, the young people on the bench have not grown to the point where they can take charge on their own. The defeat on the road was a testament to the fact that young people still need to grow, but Leeds have risen too fast.

Li Chengfeng put the heavy defeat aside and prepared for the second leg against Juventus. With a home defeat and two away goals, Leeds had no choice but to attack on the road.

Juventus's defense is very old, the back three are all experienced demons, and there is a more demonic goalkeeper Buffon, Leeds United is difficult to attack the opponent's threat area, can only try to shoot from a distance and strive for set-pieces, but Juventus frequently uses counterattacks to threaten Leeds United's goal, fortunately, Ederson is in good shape today, stifling Juventus's counterattacks again and again.

However, Juventus took the lead from a corner. It was near the end of the first half when Juventus took a tactical corner and Alves fired a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area, which flew directly into the bottom right corner of the Leeds United goal, Juventus 1:0 Leeds United.

At half-time, the Leeds United players were a little depressed, and Li Chengfeng could feel the powerlessness in their hearts. This is the despair of a newborn calf when it meets an old hunter.

Li Chengfeng tried to cheer them up, "There is no need for everyone to be discouraged, you have done a good job." Could anyone have imagined at the start of the season that we would be able to reach the semi-finals? We have made history. ”

"Of course, no one wants to lose, and we still have a chance." Li Chengfeng made arrangements, "Juventus's backline is full of old men, they are indeed experienced, but their bodies are no longer good. In the second half we had to speed up, increase the number of breakthroughs and hit them directly. Especially Barzagli, who is 35 years old and slow as a snail. ”

"Remember, don't think too much, give me a sudden death to them." Before taking the pitch, Li Chengfeng once again emphasized Leeds United's tactics.

The two sides changed sides and fought again, Li Chengfeng replaced Milner with Dembele, who had stronger breakthrough ability, and handed over all the defense to Kante, if Juventus scored first, then Li Chengfeng could only admit it.

Leeds United's frequent breakthroughs have caused a lot of trouble to Juventus' defense, although their defenders are experienced, but after all, they are physically limited, and they can only take the initiative to foul to prevent Leeds United's breakthrough when they encounter this kind of raw opponent, but fortunately, they still have Buffon, who is getting older and more demonic, to keep the goal from conceding.

In the 69th minute, Leeds finally equalized, Dembele took a corner kick, Sane provided an assist, and Mbappe fired a right-footed shot in front of the goal line, and the ball flew into the top left corner of the opponent's goal, 1:1. Leeds United see hope.
