In the away game against Chelsea a few days later, Li Chengfeng and even many of his key players were not in the squad, leaving them to rest in Leeds City and concentrate on preparing for the Champions League in a few days' time.

However, Leeds United, who played in the second team, still held the seemingly strong Chelsea to a draw away from home, and Li Chengfeng once again taught his former assistant a lesson.

Prior to this game, Chelsea were unbeaten in 10 league games with seven wins and three draws, the same result as Leeds United, and there were many strong teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal among the opponents. But Li Chengfeng's game exposed Chelsea's fate and showed everyone how to deal with Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea.

At the heart of this Chelsea team is Jorginho, who has revitalized Chelsea's midfield with his play-making midfield. But he has a fatal flaw - when he encounters strong oppression, he lacks the ability to get rid of it, and his function is greatly reduced.

At this time, Chelsea still have one trick, and that is Hazard's wide explosion. With Hazard's ability, it is still very difficult for the average team to limit him, so with these two moves, Chelsea's abuse is still quite stable. However, Leeds United is not an ordinary team, even if Li Chengfeng rests most of the team.

In this game, Li Chengfeng started Fernandes as a midfielder, using his defensive ability to interfere with Jorginho. As for Hazard, Li Chengfeng sent Torreira to take care of him throughout the field, just like Mourinho sent Herrera to keep an eye on Hazard last season.

Li Chengfeng's strategy made it difficult for Chelsea to play, and Leeds came close to taking a win away from Stamford Bridge.

Under Li Chengfeng's targeting, Jorginho and Eden Hazard did not perform, and Chelsea's attack was also a mess. But the rest of Chelsea stepped up and Pedro set up Belotti to give Chelsea the lead into the second half. Leeds were overtaken by goals from Luka Jovic and Bruno Fernandes, before Pedro slotted into the box to help Chelsea draw at home to Leeds United.

Although Li Chengfeng was a little disappointed that he could not keep the victory in the end, such a draw was enough to satisfy him, and Leeds United was able to play in such an important game as PSN Einhorn at full strength.

However, Leeds were unlucky in this game, and just one minute into the game, PSN Einhorn took advantage of a corner to give De Jong the lead.

Leeds United, who were behind, started a tidal attack, but Einhorn was also very resolute in defending, although they were not good at it, but the bus tactics were also in place.

Leeds United attacked for most of the game, still unable to take Einhorn's bus, and finally Li Chengfeng resorted to the simplest tactic, long passing, using Alai's header ability to force the game.

Lee's gamble paid off, as Kane scored with a close-range volley in the 78th minute to help Leeds equalise. In the 89th minute, Robertson crossed from the left, Alle headed in from close range, the ball touched Einhorn defender Sainsbury and changed the line to score, Leeds United completed the comeback before the end.

Relying on Alli's performance, Leeds United successfully turned the game around at home and beat PSN Einhorn to improve the points to six points, only one point away from second-placed Inter Milan. The next round will be a direct meeting between the two teams, which will determine who will qualify from the group.

However, Leeds United's devil's schedule is not over yet, in a few days in the league, Leeds United will face Tottenham, then the national team break, and then the league against Manchester United, the Champions League and Inter Milan life and death, every game is not easy, every game is important. Now the league's results are very anxious, and there is no room for slackness.

Leeds United's main players are tired but need to grit their teeth and persevere. However, Leeds United's players are not in good shape, Tottenham are not much better, they also have the drag of the Europa League, and the depth of the squad is not as good as Leeds United's ability to rotate a few players.

Everyone was tired, but the two teams were still playing fiercely and everyone wanted to keep their hopes alive.

Leeds United, playing at home, took the lead, and in the 15th minute, Milner's cross was headed wide by Mbappe. A minute later, De Ligt sent in a long ball and Mbappe burst into the box from a tight angle on the left flank and fired into the side-netting. In the 28th minute, Robertson crossed from the left and Alli headed wide of the left post.

Tottenham withstood Leeds United's opening attack, and also freed up their hands to counterattack, and in the 30th minute, Kane burst into a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and the ball was saved by Ederson. In the 42nd minute, Aurier's cross from the right was excellent, but Lucas Jr.'s header from inside the small box hit the top of the goal.

Both teams played fiercely in the first half, but neither team was able to score a goal. At the beginning of the second half, Leeds United, who were playing at home, still attacked first, and Li Chengfeng wanted to win.

In the 50th minute, Alai's header went just over the crossbar. In the 54th minute, Milner's corner kick from the right side crossed to the back post, and it was Alai's header again, this time he finally didn't miss again, and Alai put the ball into the corner, 1-0.

Tottenham are not willing to lose, and their attacks are sharp, England's homegrown striker Harry Kane is very active, and Leeds United will find it difficult to limit him.

In the 66th minute, Lamela crossed from the left corner, Kane's header was barely blocked by a defender in front of the goal line, and Foys's header from inside the small box hit the top left corner, and Tottenham equalized away.

Must win, Li Chengfeng replaced De Jong and Salah with Fernandes and Sancho, and they were physically exhausted in continuous battles.

Leeds United's offensive began to overwhelm the Tottenhams. In the 80th minute, Fernandez's long-range shot from the top of the arc was saved by Lloris. In this attack, Lamela tried to block and Fernandez inadvertently injured his face, causing the game to be interrupted for a few minutes, but fortunately, Lamela was replaced by Winks to be on the safe side.

In the 84th minute, Mbappe's volley from inside the box was saved by Lloris. In the 91st minute, Fernandez's long-range shot was blocked, and substitute Jadon Sancho scored in the penalty area to make it 2-1.

In the end, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from teenager Jadon Sancho, Leeds United won 2-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur and finally did not fall out of the title race, although it was a shame that Milner was injured and had to miss a month.

It's the national team match day, and Li Chengfeng can finally relax. However, this season is really competitive, in the first 12 rounds of the league, Leeds United can only be second with Liverpool with 28 points, the first is the defending champion Manchester City, they have 32 points in 12 league games. Pep Guardiola's team's dominance in the league has always been so strong, and Klopp's Liverpool has risen very quickly, the year before last year it could not reach the Europa League, last year the Premier League ranked fourth and entered the Champions League, this year can compete for the title, one footprint a year, very solid, will be a tough opponent in the future.

Of course, Li Chengfeng will not admit defeat now, the league time is still long, and Leeds United's squad depth is enough to face all unexpected situations and come back in the long run.

After the national team break, Leeds United ushered in the home match against Manchester United, because it was a life-and-death battle in the Champions League group stage, Li Chengfeng rested some players in rotation and won a difficult away victory over Manchester United.

As the third place last season, Manchester United's performance has dropped sharply this season, which makes Li Chengfeng a little incomprehensible. Although United have not made any signings this season, they have managed to retain their squad from last season, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a big fluctuation in results, but they have sometimes behaved like a relegation team.

However, when Li Chengfeng saw the performance of the Manchester United players on the spot, he knew the reason. When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, and the minds of Manchester United players are no longer on the game, they are more concerned about their own income and enjoying life. Playing is just a job for them, as for the fans, the honor, what does it have to do with them.

Manchester United's hierarchy operate the club as a commodity, so it's no wonder that the players are like this, and the few who have a good professional attitude will not affect the game.

In the end, Leeds United beat Manchester United 1-0 away, but the actual chances were far greater than the difference in the scoreline, and if it weren't for the super performance of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, Leeds United could have beaten United into a sieve.

When he shook hands with Mourinho after the game, he didn't know what to say, and finally just patted Mourinho on the shoulder, sighed, and said nothing, and this proud man didn't need Li Chengfeng's comfort.

However, Mourinho is obviously unwilling to lose to Li Chengfeng, and he is even more unwilling to be the attitude of the players who do not work the field. He lashed out at the United players, saying: "I can't change the nature of the players so quickly, I may have to make some choices depending on the fighting spirit of the players, and then I will find that I may have to play on my own. ”

He also sarcastically mocked the sense of pride of the United players: "Losing doesn't matter to them, some people may find it bad for dinner, some people may have a big meal, some people may have a party. ”

"Character, personality, they lack that."

Jose Mourinho just had to point at their nose and say they were some high-class trash, but United's hierarchy didn't think so. In their opinion, business reasons are the most important, so they chose the easiest way to fire Mourinho, as is common in the NBA in the United States.

But this is European football, unlike the NBA's big pot rice, it is the most competitive league, their set will not be useful, Li Chengfeng can already see the fall of Manchester United. He defended Mourinho in a clear and unambiguous manner, saying: "Manchester United made a stupid decision, they didn't find a solution to the problem. United's problems are still there and will continue to be so. They've fired the best coach they could have hired, and I dare say they're out of the title contenders, and I don't see any hope of them competing for the title for at least a decade. Maybe they should get used to the days when they don't have Champions League to play. ”
