Calm, to be calm, Li Chengfeng quickly recovered his mood.

Losing to Watford, Leeds United slipped to sixth place, but fortunately, Leeds United only has the league to play now, and there is plenty of time to adjust to the state, otherwise Li Chengfeng really finds it difficult.

Young people also have the benefits of being young, and although they are unstable, they prefer to look forward. A week later, they beat Everton and caught up.

That's all, and he was even more excited to beat giants Manchester United 3-1 on the road with a defensive counterattack.

Leeds United and Manchester United can be said to be mortal enemies, mortal enemies in the true sense of the word, mortal enemies above football. Maybe people outside the UK can't understand it, but in the UK, they are a feud.

The rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is only due to the fact that the team's competition for results is different, and the animosity between Leeds United and Manchester United can be traced back hundreds of years, when there was no football, and the war of roses between the two cities lasted for decades.

The effects of this war have caused a long-term hatred between the two cities, and football is just a continuation of the hatred between the two cities, so the match between the two teams is also known as the Rose Derby. It is precisely because of this that Alan Smith's transfer to Manchester United attracted criticism from Leeds United fans. It is precisely because of this that Leeds United's diehard Milner did not hesitate to turn down Manchester United's offer.

It's not competition, it's hatred. Perhaps only the person concerned can understand this emotion, Li Chengfeng can't understand it, but this does not hinder his desire to beat Manchester United.

However, United clearly did not take Leeds United seriously, as they showed the new European Golden Boy winner Anthony Martial before the game, and Wayne Rooney, who made his 5ooo appearance for Manchester United, was also awarded the medal before the game. Everything shows the arrogance of Manchester United. But Li Chengfeng is not here to celebrate, he is here to smash the field.

A proud Manchester United began to lay siege to Leeds United after the opening. In the 1o minute of the opening minute, Fellaini passed the ball and Rooney stabbed the goal, but both were in an offside position and the goal was disallowed.

United soon made a comeback, with new European golden boy Anthony Martial passing the ball and Depay firing high in front of the box. Immediately after Juan Mata's pass, Rooney fired a low shot wide from several men in the box.

Manchester United played a succession of passes, Juan Mata passed, and Rooney's low shot from outside the top of the box was deflected wide of the left-hand post by O'Neill. Blind whipped in a corner and Smalling's header from 12 yards was deflected.

While Manchester United were ferocious in attack, it was Leeds United who scored first, scoring on the first counter-attack. In the 39th minute, Milner counter-attacked and faced a Phil Jones cross, and Belotti burst into the box and fired home from 14 yards.

Seeing United fall behind, fans began to boo, expressing their displeasure with United's poor attack. It's no wonder that with only 19 goals scored in the first 16 league games, a mid-table performance in the Premier League as a whole, how could such a performance please proud Manchester United fans. They began chanting Mourinho's name to express their displeasure with current manager Louis van Gaal.

In fact, in all fairness, Li Chengfeng feels that Van Gaal is not so bad, Manchester United's poor performance this season is also due to injuries, and Manchester United's lack of in-cutting wingers has also caused the team to not be able to play the attack he wants. Manchester United's tactics have changed several times this season, and it can be seen that Van Gaal is trying new methods, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and in the end she can only return to the big circle tactics with Fellaini as the fulcrum, which is also helpless. Manchester United have fallen and many positions need to be strengthened, and it is not an overnight thing to try.

But the fans don't know that, and they think it's enough to change a manager who can bring victories like Alex Ferguson. It just so happened that Mourinho was sacked from Real Madrid this season, he lost control of the team due to dressing room problems, and had to leave early, and assistant coach Zinedine Zidane took over the team, and this Real Madrid legend was able to stabilize the team's dressing room.

In the eyes of Manchester United fans, Mourinho can solve all the problems of Manchester United, and Mourinho has repeatedly expressed his yearning for Manchester United, perhaps in the near future, he will be the new manager of Manchester United. But will he really be able to solve all the team's problems immediately? Li Chengfeng expressed doubts that Manchester United has too many problems, and they cannot be changed overnight.

United's poor form continues, with the attacking frenzy exposing their backline even more. Leeds United expanded the score in the 54th minute, Rooney was stealed by Salah in the midfield, Belotti broke through the through pass, Salah shot low into the bottom left corner of the net from the edge of the arc of the penalty area, 2-O!

Although United pulled one back in the 66th minute, Ashley Young's cross from the right was crossed by Wayne Rooney, and Anthony Martial took the ball past Salah and Kimmich and fired home in front of the six-yard box to make it 2-1.

However, this goal was also Manchester United's last struggle, Leeds United counterattacked again in the 84th minute to score the winning goal, substitute Ali youngster Maddison shot in the arc of the penalty area was saved by De Gea, also substitute Modeste small penalty area in the upper right corner of the penalty area fell under the defense of Blind, penalty!

With captain Milner scoring a penalty to make it 3-1, the game was completely out of suspense. Although Manchester United did not stop attacking until the last minute, the Red Devils' attack was still constipated, and in the end they had to accept the result of a heavy defeat at home.

Looking at Van Gaal's stubborn figure amid the boos of the home fans, Li Chengfeng felt a little sympathetic to the old coach. Professional football is so cruel, only about winning and losing, and nothing else.

The win saw Leeds successfully beat Manchester United and Manchester City and moved into the top three, just behind Leicester and Arsenal. It's temporary, but it's enough to get the young people at Leeds United excited.

However, Leeds United's youngsters were clearly getting too excited, as they lost their next game to Tottenham and dropped to fifth in the table. It's a rollercoaster ride, and I'm afraid that a coach with less endurance will collapse, and the instability of young players is really a big problem. Of course, it may also be because of Christmas, they are too high, otherwise even if they lose, they would not have lost so badly, and they actually conceded 3 goals. These young people are really not worrying.

However, Tottenham are really enemies, and in the real world, they beat Birmingham around Christmas. About the same time, about the same result, and even they are Leeds United's main rivals for Champions League qualification in the coming years. They also passed Leeds United in the standings after this game and finished in fourth place, so Li Chengfeng will feel such disappointment after losing to the other side, which is much more disappointing than losing to the other side in the real world.

Leeds United's young people are also disappointed, and Li Chengfeng is starting to worry about the next game. Fortunately, Leeds United met a soft persimmon next, Aston Villa, who had less than double digits in the league in the near half of the league, and a 3:O victory made Leeds United players regain confidence.

I think Aston Villa was still Li Chengfeng's target back then, but their boss asked too much for Leeds United in the end. Now seeing Aston Villa look so down, it's really impermanent. However, Aston Villa has fallen to the way it is now, and it is more of a distraction. The boss is unwilling to invest, and there is news of the transfer at both ends in three days, which makes the players think.

Now that he has played half of the league and only accumulated 7 points, Li Chengfeng feels that this may be a record. They were unwilling to offer a hundred million pounds before, can they sell it for 6ooo pounds next year? And this year, I lost more than 2ooo pounds, so I really asked for it.

Of course, Li Chengfeng didn't mean to gloat, he just felt a little emotional. Life is like that, sometimes choice is more important than effort. Now that I think about it, Leeds United may be a better option than Aston Villa. At least Lin Chiling's relationship with him has become close again, which has given him new troubles. Lin Chiling is still Emily, it's really a happy trouble, but whatever, it's not the real world anyway, of course it's all wanted. Can anyone refuse any of them?

Winning the match against Aston Villa, Leeds United has 34 points in 19 league games, 1o wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and the gap with Arsenal in the table is only 4 points. This season's England is unusually chaotic, and the collective performance of the strong teams is abnormal, which is simply incredible.

Thinking about Birmingham in the real world, it is also halfway, and they can only rank second with 46 points, Li Chengfeng is in tears.

But maybe it's an opportunity, a chance to win the title. If the performance of these giants in the second half of the league season continues to improve, Leeds United will not be without opportunities. And compared to those big clubs, Leeds United is not dragged down by European competition and can concentrate on the league, like Leicester, who are now second in the league.

This has also affected the young people at Leeds, who are starting to suffer from gains and losses, and their performances on the pitch have been up and down. After winning over Southampton, the last 5 rounds of league games have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, becoming the first team to fall behind. What makes Li Chengfeng even more unacceptable is that Leeds United was forced to draw by a team like Aston Villa, you know, they only scored 1 point in an average of 2 games before, which is a rare fish belly team. You can lose points on this kind of team, let alone compete for the title, and even whether you can keep your European qualification is a question.

Surprisingly, though, Leicester emerged as the biggest winners, with a record of four wins and one draw putting them behind the rest of their rivals. And Arsenal, which was originally ranked first, habitually dropped the chain again, with 1 win and 3 draws in 5 rounds of the league, and the performance of the Manchester City duo was not much better, even Tottenham Hotspur passed them to the second, and it was really a chaotic season.
