1.036 Down-and-out Youth Army

On November 20, Li Chengfeng led the team to challenge Leeds United away, which is the opponent that Li Chengfeng values the most. Although Leeds United's performance this season has not been good, and they have fallen out of the promotion qualifying area before the halfway point, and they are no longer a rival to Sheffield Wednesday, Lee Seungfeng wants to play Leeds United for another purpose.

Leeds United's financial problems were even worse after being relegated from the Premier League last season, and this season they had to sell their main players to get a chance of survival, with Viduka, Danny Mills, Alan Smith, Paul Robinson, James Milner, Bridges, David Barty, and many more, all of whom left the Whites this season. The embarrassed Leeds United even sold their home stadium, and the once shocking youth army of Europe has been in ruins.

The tragic situation of Leeds United made Li Chengfeng also sigh, in the real world, he was also attracted by the youth storm set off by this team, and liked their youth and vitality, but he didn't expect that in just two years, the Champions League semi-finals, the potential of the Youth Guard fell apart. It's all the fault of money, modern football, you can lack anything, you just can't lack money.

Lee Seung-phong also wanted a piece of the pie, he took a fancy to Leeds United's young talent Aaron Lennon and wanted to bring the wing-wing talent to Sheffield, but Leeds United refused. Although the current situation is very bad, Leeds United will not give up the opportunity to promotion, with their financial situation, except for promotion, to get a huge amount of Premier League points, there is no good way to solve their financial crisis.

However, in the real world, Leeds United not only failed to be promoted for several years, but were relegated to League One due to their poor financial problems. Lee Seung-bong's eye-catching Aaron Lennon also moved to Tottenham Hotspur for a mere £1 million at the end of this season.

Lee doesn't want to wait until next season to compete with Tottenham Hotspur for Aaron Lennon, he is not confident of winning in this kind of competition, and the best outcome is to finalize the transfer early this season, but first let Leeds United know that they have no chance of promotion this season.

In the real world, Leeds United did not qualify for the play-offs this season, and the panicked Tommy didn't even know when the team would go bankrupt, so how could he concentrate on playing. It wasn't until the start of next year that former Chelsea chairman Baez bought half of Leeds United's shares that their performance stabilized slightly. However, when encountering a chairman like Baez, Leeds United wanted to turn over, but it was also extremely difficult, and when Li Chengfeng saw these news on the Internet, he couldn't help but sympathize with this team and their fans.

However, sympathy is sympathy, Li Chengfeng is not ready to show mercy to his subordinates, and push them again, so that they can recognize the reality as soon as possible, and selling Aaron Lennon to himself is the right operation.

Leeds United, who have lost a lot of blood this season, have had to use a large number of academy players to play, and these Leeds United children have no doubt about their love for Leeds United, they did not give up because the team was in a crisis, they did their best every game, trying to use their strength to help the team out of the crisis.

Their efforts have worked, with Leeds United, who were considered relegation-threatening before the start of the season, now 10th and just one goal away from the promotion zone. But their efforts are also meaningless, and if they can't return to the Premier League, their financial problems can't be solved and they can only continue to sink.

The Leeds United players fought fiercely on the pitch, but Sheffield Wednesday's midfielders, under Pep Guardiola's command, passed the ball unhurriedly, moving the Leeds United players back and forth. Leeds' youngsters ran hard to try to get the ball, but they were too inexperienced to know how to run more efficiently and had to run back and forth with the ball waiting for a mistake from a Sheffield Wednesday player.

However, they didn't wait for Sheffield Wednesday's mistake to concede the ball first, Guardiola saw that Leeds United had spread to a very loose formation under Sheffield Wednesday's pass, and suddenly a long diagonal pass distributed the ball to the front, Belion was successful in an offside position, and the goalkeeper who faced the opponent's attack chose to shoot, but the shooting skills were still not good, the ball flew a little low, and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but the Italian teenager Cherci who followed up arrived, and he ran and pushed the ball with his left foot to hit the ball into the door of Leeds United, Pushed Leeds United towards the abyss again.

Leeds United, who were down by one goal, attacked more ferociously and tried to equalise as soon as possible. That's it, young man, who only knows how to solve problems with brute force, and they will soon be hit again. This time it was Ederson, who broke through Leeds' last defender with the ball on the counter-attack and easily slotted the ball under the Leeds United goalkeeper into the back of the net, 2-0. Poor goalkeeper, Li Chengfeng doesn't even know his name, Leeds United sold two goalkeepers in a row this season in order to solve financial problems, the main goalkeeper Paul Robinson went to Tottenham, and the substitute goalkeeper Carson went to Liverpool, and then it was his turn to play, not to mention the strength, if he can perform better, Leeds United will not have to struggle so much for a qualifying place this season.

But Leeds United's young people are so coveted, even though they have lost a lot of people this summer, but now they still have a lot of talented young people in their squad, Lee Seungfeng looked at Aaron Lennon who was still running the pitch, and wanted to bring him back to Heath Castle immediately. But bear with me, it won't be long before Leeds United find themselves hopeless this season.

The final result of this game was 3:0, Sheffield Wednesday team suppressed Leeds United throughout the game, and the number of shots on goal at 20:5 fully illustrated the gap in strength and mentality between the two sides, and Sheffield Wednesday pushed Leeds United into the abyss again.

The next league away game against Nottingham Forest Li Chengfeng adopted a rotation, the next game is the fourth leg of the League Cup, the opponent is the Premier League team Portsmouth, although Li Chengfeng considering that Portsmouth is in the battle of relegation, may not give full play in the Cup, but the opponent is a Premier League team after all, Li Chengfeng does not want accidents, he must get the qualification for the Europa League next season.

However, in the face of Nottingham Forest, who were relegated this season, Sheffield Wednesday lost the game with a score of 1:2, and the opponent showed great tenacity, and their captain Mike Dawson performed particularly well, not only leading the defence to stop the Sheffield Wednesday team's fierce attack, but also scoring a header in the final corner to seal the victory.

The arrogance of Li Chengfeng and Xie Wednesday paid their price, and Li Chengfeng remembered a common saying: the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. I'm still too proud, after all, I'm just an amateur coach, relying on my experience of leading the world for ten years, and the team's many advantages beyond the strength of the same level, and now I can mix smoothly, and I have won the reputation of "the leader of the new generation of coaches". But I still lack the professional quality and mentality of a real professional coach.

Football is war, you should pay attention to every game, no matter who the opponent is, no matter what the strength of the opponent is, you must not relax in your mentality, Li Chengfeng secretly made up his mind.

At the press conference after the game, Lee Seung-peak took all the reasons for not winning on himself, "The reason for not winning this game is all on me. I wasn't prepared enough, I didn't think about the situation on the pitch enough. It won't happen again and we'll take every game seriously and try for the best result. ”

This game also made Lee Seung-peak remember the name, Mike Dawson, a young man with great potential, who can play in the main team even in the Premier League, and staying at Nottingham Forest has delayed his talent. However, I heard that Nottingham Forest also has financial problems, and when Sheffield Wednesday is promoted to the Premier League this season, Lee Seungfeng is ready to buy him. Although I don't know why Nottingham Forest was relegated, the value of the main central defender of a League One team should not be too high.

However, Li Chengfeng is very strange how such a fighting team could be finally relegated this season, they have the strength, drive, and such a young and combative captain as the core, how should they not fall to the point of relegation.

Who knows? Li Chengfeng can't figure it out and don't think about it anymore, Sheffield Wednesday will face Premier League side Portsmouth at home in the next game, and the winner will be able to enter the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Although Portsmouth is a Premier League team, the team is not strong, just a relegation team, and now it is only one goal ahead of the relegation zone, their minds are not on this chicken League Cup at all, with the good momentum of the Sheffield Wednesday team, it will not be difficult to beat them.

As it was, Portsmouth sent a large number of substitutes to play against Sheffield Wednesday, who played more like an underdog against Sheffield Wednesday, who struggled with Sheffield Wednesday for most of the game, except for the opening gesture of wanting to win the game and taking the initiative to attack for a while. However, after Ribery assisted Braten for a goal, they gave up on their efforts. The Portsmouth players were all dressed in clean clothes at the end of the game, and it was not incomprehensible that Sheffield Wednesday, who had worked harder, could easily win the game.
