When Xu Yifei was practicing calligraphy, Lin Xinya rushed in the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Look at your panicked look! What's wrong? Xu Yifei said.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good!" Lin Xinya was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
"What's wrong? Am I fine? Have something to say slowly. Xu Yifei put down the brush, patted Lin Xinya's shoulder, and sat down next to her on the sofa.
"After yesterday's game, Peterborough United filed an appeal against you with the FA, saying that you were malicious and wounding!" Lin Xinya hurriedly said, "The FA has decided to punish you!" ā
"Punishment? What penalties? Xu Yifei never expected to be punished after the game, so his face immediately changed and he stood up from the sofa.
"A fine of five thousand pounds and a three-game ban!"
"Five thousand pounds, which is now half a week's salary, I am not afraid. It's just that the three-game ban is too harsh! Leeds United now has too many injuries, I will be banned again, and there will be no one available for the next three games, I am afraid that the manager can only promote new players from the youth team to come in reinforcements! ā
"Is the situation so serious? Wouldn't the next few games be more lost and won't be won? ā
"yes!" Xu Yifei paced back and forth in the study, "By the way, Xinya, who called?" Is there room for relaxation? ā
"It was the FA that called directly, so there should be no room for mitigation." Lin Xinya pondered for a moment, and then said, "You can appeal, but even if you win the case, it will be too late, these games have already passed, and you can only save a fine of five thousand pounds at most." ā
"Forget it!" Xu Yifei finally felt a trace of regret for what he did yesterday, "I was careless for a while, and I missed a big thing!" Now we can only hope that our youth team teammates will play well as soon as they join the first team and bite the points! ā
Neil. Warnock finally swallowed the bitter fruit of the same starting lineup in many consecutive games, causing a large number of injuries to the team's main players at critical moments. After an unsuccessful loan move for Liverpool youngster Raheem Sterling, the Leeds United boss had no choice but to play the youth team again.
This time, in order to put out a large squad of 18 people, Neil. Warnock had to promote a number of players from the youth team to join the first team.
Lewis. Walters, Alex. Mowat, both got their first professional contract, plus Charlie, who already had a professional contract. Taylor returned to the first team and finally put together a makeshift line-up for the Huddersfield game.
On 16 March 2013, Leeds United vs Huddersfield Town Championship match kicked off as scheduled. It's a West Yorkshire derby.
Huddersfield have not played in the top flight for decades, but they are a strong team in history, and in 1924-1926, they won the English top flight for three consecutive years, becoming the first team in England's history to "win three consecutive top-flight titles", and was known as the strongest team in England and even the world at that time. The commentator gave the audience a science popularization before the game, "but then in the 70s of the last century, their results suddenly fell seriously, and they were even relegated to the fourth division for a time." Prior to this season, they had been playing in League One for many years, and it was only last season that they struggled to get promotion to the Championship through the play-offs. ā
"In the first leg of this season, Leeds United completed the comeback 4-2 on the road. However, the Argentine goalscorer Becchio, who scored twice at the time, has been sold to Norwich by Leeds United, and Norris, another scorer, is unavailable today due to injury. Don is on today's squad. ā
'For away Huddersfield, former Leeds United player Clayton has been reeling from Warnock's ouster from the Leeds squad in the first place. In the first leg of the match between the two teams, Clayton actually slipped to his knees after breaking through the door of his old club. Warnock celebrated defiantly in front of him. Of course, after that game, Clayton's Twitter was also flooded by Leeds United fans, and he himself was almost drowned by the fans. ā
Before this game, Clayton took the initiative to bring up the matter again, as if to stimulate Neil. Warnock was already very fragile nerves. ā
"It's worth mentioning that Huddersfield also has a Leeds United veteran in the squad, and he is Beckford. Affectionately known as "The Shell" by Chinese fans, he was a key contributor to Leeds United's promotion from League One to the Championship and was loved by Leeds fans for scoring the winning goal in the later away game against the Red Devils. However, he was later sold by Leeds United for a good price. After a few turns, Beckford now belongs to Huddersfield. However, he was also unable to make the squad today due to injury. ā
"In fact, if we take a look at the players sold by Leeds United in recent years, we can be surprised to find one thing: Leeds United's core players are losing very quickly! The most recent ones are Beccio, Snodgrass, Jonny. Hausen. ā
"Imagine if Leeds hadn't been selling key players so frantically in recent years, they might have been promoted to the Premier League. Of course, the world of football can't say if. ā
With the referee on duty Kevin. Flender's whistle blows, and the game officially begins.
"Audience friends, this is the 38th round of the Championship, Leeds hosts Harbour Town. As is customary, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides. ā
"On the White Rose side, veteran coach Warnock is a set of 442 lineups, trying to strengthen the defense.
Goalkeeper: Kenny.
The four defenders, from left to right, are: Stephen. Warnock, Pierce, Pertier, Charlie. Taylor.
The four midfielders are also lined up: Alex. Mowat, Michael. Don, Paul. Green, Sam. Bayram.
Up front is the veteran Diouf partnering new signing Habib. ā
"We saw that today Warnock was enabled by Charlie. Taylor and Alex. Mowatt entered the starting line-up with two newcomers, as well as a youth team striker, Lewis. Walters was temporarily on the bench. ā
However, according to the information, Charlie. Taylor came from a left-back and switched to right-back today. Bayram, on the other hand, mentioned the right midfield position to fill in the midfield shortages caused by the injuries of Xu Yifei, Austin and Norris. ā
"There was news before the game that Paul. Green's injury hasn't completely improved, and it would be a risk to play him today. ā
"Hey, Warnock can't help it, now Leeds United midfield is really unavailable."
"On the Hazhen side, coach Mark . Robbins fielded a 451 lineup. ā
