It really shouldn't be lost to Sunderland, maybe a season's hard work will be wasted in this game. The Leeds United players also know the consequences of losing, and seeing that they are a little depressed these days, Li Chengfeng can't bear to criticize them.

The 35th round of the league against Watford was postponed after the opponent reached the FA Cup semi-finals, and Li Chengfeng watched as Tottenham drew at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Could this be a chance for Leeds? Li Chengfeng is not sure, but he must fight, even if the opponent is the powerful Arsenal, which is in the race for four mode.

Leeds United opted to play against Arsenal in this game, with an extra week of rest and a younger Leeds United with more physical strength and hard work.

As soon as the game started, Leeds United launched a full-court press against Arsenal, disrupting Arsenal's attacking rhythm and trying to win in chaos.

Arsenal's gentlemen were obviously not used to such pressing, and there were many mistakes in succession, and they were very embarrassed.

Arsene Wenger didn't expect Leeds to be so unsparing. He has seen a lot of teams that are very aggressive, and in fact, Arsenal often face such opponents, and many of those weak teams with insufficient strength will use such tactics in the games of the giants. But it's really rare to do something as crazy as Leeds United, even at the beginning of the league when everyone is full of energy.

This style of play is so physically demanding that no team can hold on to the whole game, and even at half-time it will break down. Maybe Leeds are just trying to get off to a start, steal a goal while Arsenal are still in game, and then defend?

Wenger has also had many experiences with Li Chengfeng, and Li Chengfeng does this kind of thing often, and it is not a strange thing to do it now.

The professor is now faced with a choice between using a tougher attack to push Leeds back or solidifying the defence and waiting for Leeds to pass.

Thinking about the poor goal rate of Arsenal's strikers, and the even worse ability of the backline to chase back, Wenger chose to endure, Arsenal's counter-attacking ability is still very strong?

However, Leeds United broke through Arsenal's goal in the sixth minute, Sane split the ball to the left, Robertson's cross was through several defenders, and Salah fired a powerful shot past Cech from 12 yards to make it 1-0.

Leeds still had a chance when Salah crossed and Modeste fired high in the first place. Then Salah crossed from a free-kick scuffle and Orban headed wide.

Arsenal tried to counter-attack but struggled to even get through half time in the face of Leeds United's frantic pressing. Wenger didn't have a good way for a while, he could only be patient, he wanted to see how long Leeds United's offensive could last, ten minutes, or twenty minutes.

However, the fans were impatient, playing slogans and singing in response to Arsene Wenger's pre-match criticism of the home fans.

Leeds United lasted much longer than Wenger expected, maintaining a considerable intensity of scrambling throughout the first half, and Arsenal were completely pressed at home, and if it wasn't for Cech's bravery, the score would never have been 1-0 in the first half.

At the start of the second half, Leeds United continued to attack in the first half. The opportunity soon arose again when Sane counter-attacked and Salah fired a volley from 12 yards out on the right side of the box that was saved by Cech. Milner combined with Salah to kick the wall and curled a shot wide from the edge of the box.

Leeds United's choice surprised Arsene Wenger, but do they think they can play the whole game like this? Or do you want to crush Arsenal early?

The limit is that such an attack can last for another ten minutes, and Wenger can naturally make a judgment, and he waits for his chance.

However, Arsenal did not wait for the opportunity to counter-attack before they had a problem themselves. In the 51st minute, Arsenal defender Mertesacker was replaced by Gabriel after a continuous change of direction that led to a right thigh strain due to Leeds United's continuous attack. Arsene Wenger only discovered a problem, Arsenal compared to Leeds United, who had an extra week of rest, had a more serious physical problem, even if the consumption was less than that of the opponent, but it was difficult to hold on to the end.

Adjustments have to be made, Wenger estimates. However, Li Chengfeng moved faster, and immediately replaced Ali and Modeste with Torreira and Belotti, and the formation was also retracted, slowing down the tempo.

Arsene Wenger knew what Li was going to do, but he had no choice but Arsenal had to attack. Arsene Wenger replaced Iwobi with Welbeck, but there was a wave of boos from the fans, which surprised Li Chengfeng and thought it was Leeds United's home stadium. He looked around, it was indeed Arsenal's home stadium, but when did Arsenal fans have such a confrontational relationship with the team's effective coach Arsene Wenger?

But now is not the time to think about it, and the game on the field is getting hot. Arsenal are desperate to get back the score, but Leeds United's defense is unusually tenacious and positive, after most of the season, the tacit understanding between the defenders has long been different, and the young players have good physical strength, enough to support their full pressing.

The Arsenal struggled for more than 30 minutes but couldn't get the ball on Leeds. Their strikers don't have particularly goalscoring players, nor are they as versatile as Leeds United, and they can contain most of their threats by guarding against just a few men. And defending, that's what Leeds are good at. Now Leeds United players on the field, except for the two wingers, the rest are players with strong defensive ability, plus more physical strength, more active fighting, it is not easy to break their goal.

Leeds United won 1-0 away at Arsenal to level Tottenham on points and just two points behind Leicester, so it's up to those two teams to perform.

Luck has once again favored Leeds United, with both teams picking up just one draw away from home in this round of fixtures. The strength of the opposition is one aspect, Chelsea and Manchester United are not easy opponents to deal with, and Leeds United's pursuit has put them under pressure.

Now, Leeds United have a game in hand, one and three points behind Tottenham and Leicester respectively, and there is still hope for the league.

In the 37th round of the league, Leeds United withstood the pressure and won a difficult home victory over Manchester United.

The repeated battles in the table have made the Leeds United players much stronger, at least not crushed in such a must-win battle, and can play normally.

Manchester United have been unsolved goalscoring problems for a season, having scored just 44 goals in 36 league games. Except for the young player Anthony Martial, no one scored a double-double, but he was injured, and he couldn't play in this game, which made Li Chengfeng even more worried. Marouane Fellaini was also unable to play due to the accumulation of yellow cards, and Van Gaal's life-sustaining circle – a hurried outside and then a big foot to find Fellaini – was also declared bankrupt.

Will Li Chengfeng still worry about such Manchester United? Of course not, Leeds did not hesitate to attack from the start of the home game.

Leeds had a chance at the start when Mohamed Salah and Alli had a shot on goal after flashing two men and had a crucial interception from Carrick. Mohamed Salah's cross was met by Modeste's header from the edge of the six-yard box that was brilliantly saved by De Gea.

United then suffered a blow when Darmian suffered a tendon injury while battling with Virgil van Dijk and was unable to hold on after several minutes of treatment, with Boswick Jackson coming off the bench.

The Reds came close to opening the scoring in the 29th minute when Juan Mata headed in a corner and Smalling headed high from close range. United continued to press after that, with Jesse Lingard's shot from outside the area being saved by Ederson. Juan Mata and Depay had their shots blocked from the edge of the area. They have to attack and only win to qualify for next season's Champions League.

However, the first goal was scored by Leeds United at home, and in the 41st minute, Modeste cut through Rojo on the right side of the penalty area and was brought down by Boswick Jackson, penalty!

Milner struck the penalty 1-0 and Leeds took the lead at home to arch-rivals Manchester United, and the cheers at Elland Road Stadium burst into the air. Leeds United has a great atmosphere at home, even at Manchester City's home stadium, even if he wins many trophies there.

In the second half, the Reds fought hard and continued to attack, but their poor goalscoring ability continued throughout the season and the game was still unresolved.

Juan Mata passes the ball and Herrera's shot from the right side of the box goes wide of the near corner. Valencia's shot from the right side of the box is blocked. Juan Mata takes a corner and Rojo heads wide. Raymond's shot from the left side of the box was blocked, and O'Neal fired wide. Horahan crossed and substitute Mbokani headed wide from 10 yards.

Manchester United's offensive lasted only more than 20 minutes, and Leeds United regained the initiative, and several crosses in succession almost scored.

In stoppage time, United missed their last chance when Depay's free-kick from 25 yards went just wide of the left-hand post. Leeds United won 1-0 at home to Manchester United.

As for those two rivals, Tottenham finally couldn't take the pressure and fell behind, losing at home to Southampton and losing their title hopes. It was Leicester that impressed Li Chengfeng, this civilian team has been able to hold on to the present without falling behind, and their will is beyond ordinary people. But consider that their core players, like Jamie Vardy, have risen through the amateur league and the central midfielder Riyad Mahrez has also moved up from the lower leagues. If their will is not strong enough, I am afraid that they will have to fight in the lower leagues.

But now is not the time to admire them, as they are the only contenders for Leeds to win the league title if Leeds can beat Watford in the replay.
