......

The training continued, and so did Xu Yifei's performance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mick, what do you think of this kid? Warnock pointed to Xu Yifei, who was training, and said to his assistant coach Mick. Jones said.

"The reaction is fast, the ball feel is good, and the skills are a bit basic. However, I don't think he's at Championship level and we should still be looking for the right midfielder in the winter transfer market. Jones replied somewhat mechanically.

"The transfer market? Of course I want to make a difference in the transfer market, but unfortunately I don't have the money......" Warnock sighed.

"Huh? The new owner, Gulf Financial Capital, also vowed last week that our most important goal this season is to surpass the competition, and they will definitely invest in the transfer market, right? Jones said slightly stunned.

"Ahem! Mick, you should know that the new owner is essentially just an investment bank! Leeds United is just an investment tool in their hands...... Ahem! Warnock coughed violently, not knowing whether it was anger or cold.

"Neil, how are you? Jones looked nervously at his boss, feeling a little uneasy. With the flu running rampant across the UK recently, a number of Leeds United squad players have already been hit by the virus and did not come to training today.

"Ahem...... Barely stopping his cough, Warnock's face was flushed, "Holy! I seem to have the damn flu too! "

As an experienced football coach, Warnock is of course very aware of the huge harm that the flu can do to a team, and hurriedly said: "Mick, we have to stop training immediately, once more players are infected, it will be bad, it is likely that we will not even be able to make up a starting lineup!" "

"Okay, Neil." Mick. After saying that, Jones made a gesture to the field to stop training.

"Huh? That's the end of training? I still have a lot of abilities that I haven't shown......" Xu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and followed his teammates off the training ground with some unfinished thinking......

Rushing to the hospital, Warnock did an urgent physical examination, and the results of the examination showed that he really had a severe flu and would definitely not be able to command tomorrow afternoon's game!

And the first team's assistant coach Mick. Jones, who has always been in charge of the daily training of the players, has no experience in on-field command. As a last resort, I had to put Ronnie. Jepson was quickly promoted to the first team.

Afternoon of January 5, 2013 GMT.

Elland Road Stadium, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

In the third round of the 2012-2013 FA Cup, Leeds United hosts Birmingham City.

During the warm-up before the game, looking at the opponents who were more than 20 or even 30 levels higher than him, Xu Yifei felt a lot of pressure.

Especially the level of a player in the Leeds team, Xu Yifei couldn't even see it.

That player was the Senegalese striker who scored against France in the 2002 World Cup and sent the defending champions home. Diouf!

Diouf also suffered from a cold a few days ago, and he did not participate in yesterday's joint training, but this morning's medical examination showed that his health is no longer in serious trouble. Jepson and Jones were reluctant to include him in the squad for the game, but Leeds' first-team squad was already thin, and there were so many injuries that there were almost no one available, so they had to take the risk of including him in the squad for the game.

"After this guy had a flash of inspiration in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, he quickly faded out of people's field of vision, and he actually reached level 60 or above?" Xu Yifei wondered.

"Don't forget, boy, this Diouf played for Liverpool for three years." Jin Lao smiled, "After playing in the Premier League for three years, it's strange that you don't become a star!" ”

"Tournaments can also increase experience?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, how did someone else's rank rise? ”

"Then why haven't I gained experience in the game?" Xu Yifei retorted.

"You are the host, can you be like everyone else? Don't worry, though, when you reach level 20 and activate the third feature, you'll be able to gain experience through matches! ”

Glancing at the level 19 experience bar that was almost full, Xu Yifei smiled and said, "Level 20? Very good! ”

The fans entered the stadium one after another, and the players returned to the locker room, and Xu Yifei looked a little nervous. This match is definitely a huge test for him!

Walking into the players' tunnel, the players on both sides began to line up, and assistant coach Jepson found that Xu Yifei looked stiff, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Relax, Xu!" Like you, I'm nervous, but in the world of football, winning and losing are a common thing, and you have to learn to face it correctly. Too nervous and prone to injury. ”

Xu Yifei replied according to the rules of the youth team: "Thank you, boss!" ”

After listening to Jepson's words, Xu Yifei's tense facial muscles eased slightly, but whether he could withstand the impact of the opponent in this game and prove that he was enough to gain a foothold in the first team, Xu Yifei still didn't know the bottom of his heart. After all, his rank is too far behind others.

And Leeds' teammates also had a cold attitude towards him, from the warm-up to the game, no one spoke to him, and they all seemed to treat him as air!

This made Xu Yifei feel very unhappy, and said in his heart: "Ignore me? Never mind! Soon, you'll remember my name! ”

However, the moment he walked out of the player's tunnel, Xu Yifei suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he no longer had time to care about the eyes of others: the cheers and shouts of more than 30,000 Leeds fans at the scene shook his ear drums and made him dizzy!

The stands on all sides of the Elland Road Stadium seemed to have turned into four huge volcanoes, spewing out a steady stream of scorching energy, completely engulfing the players in an instant.

The fans were so loud that Xu couldn't even hear the live DJ announcing his name.

"Elland Road Stadium is indeed one of the most enthusiastic stadiums in the world......" It wasn't until he stepped on the turf of the stadium that Xu Yifei recovered from the shock.

"Force!"

Referee Chris. Foy's whistle blows, and the game begins.

For the White Roses, Jepson and Jones lined up in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: No. 12 Ashtang (level 35).

Defender: No. 4 Tom. Lees (Class 42), No. 5 Pierce (Class 36), No. 2 Bidia (Class 37), No. 3 Drury (Class 40).
