Xu Yifei, who was punished with an additional ban, sat in the audience and cheered for his teammates on the field with the fans of the Leeds United Service Gang.
Throughout the first half, Leeds played chaotic and the midfield was almost completely out of control.
After the opening, Leeds United, who were playing at home, took the lead. Warnock whipped in a corner from the left and Diouf nodded it in.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Peter. Clarke leaped high to clear the ball with a header that allowed the visitors to escape.
Habib then had to drop back to pick up the lead, but a needless foul in the seventh minute not only earned him a yellow card, but also gave the visitors a well-placed free-kick up front.
In the 20th minute, Paul, who had been absent for a long time. Green made a mistake on the pass, allowing Huddersfield to play a counter-attack up front.
Since then, the visitors have frequently broken through the midfield and had many shots on goal, and if it weren't for the excellent performances of captain Pertier and goalkeeper Kenny, I am afraid that the goal would have been declared a long time ago.
In the second half, Leeds continued to make frequent mistakes at both ends of the pitch. The TV broadcast camera shifted to Xu Yifei in the audience many times.
"I'm afraid Leeds United manager Warnock has long been nostalgic for Xu Yifei. With Xu Yifei and without Xu Yifei, Leeds United is simply two teams! “
"Yes, Paul. Green's steal success rate is at least ten percentage points lower than Xu's. And his contribution to the team's offense is far inferior to Xu Yifei. “
"I feel that Leeds is completely alone, and no one can take on the heavy responsibility of the midfield commander like Xu Yifei."
The team was passive, and Xu Yifei in the stands was also anxious. He is in stark contrast to the rabid fans around him. “
"After all, Xu Yifei is a member of Leeds United, and he can't be as relaxed as a fan."
In the 53rd minute, the visitors finally broke the deadlock on the field after a long attack!
Huddersfield crosses from the wing, Paul. Green couldn't keep an eye on Neil, who was plugged in at high speed. Danes, who volleys into the near corner.
After taking the lead, the visitors were still holding on and trying to seal the win as soon as possible.
In the 58th minute, Clayton sent a long pass over the top in the center circle. Vaughn shook off Pierce, inserted himself into the right rib of the penalty area at high speed, and volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to land.
The ball grazed the right-hand post and crossed the bottom line, knocking the Leeds United backline into a cold sweat.
Eight minutes later, Leeds United finally equalised from a corner.
Diouf's corner from the left flew high to the back post and Biram volleyed into the top right corner unguarded!
After the goal, Byram quickly ran to the stands and celebrated with Xu Yifei.
However, Leeds United were struck in the 87th minute!
Jack. Hunter drove the ball forward at high speed on the right and easily shook Alex with a feint. Mowatt then made a brilliant cross.
Football crosses Stephen. Warnock and Pierce were overheaded, by Harry Town forward James Murphy. Vaughn unloads with boobs and forms a single knife directly!
Facing Kenny, James. Vaughn calmly pushes into the bottom right corner.
2-1, Leeds United, who were playing at home, were defeated at the last minute!
Xu Yifei couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and left the stands in advance.
In the final minutes, the Leeds fans chanted "Warnock, class!" “
After this game, Leeds United's gap to the promotion play-offs has been stretched to seven points, and there are only eight league games remaining.
In the next two league games, due to the incompleteness of the main lineup, Warnock had to continue to promote young people from the youth team to the first team, and Leeds United also lost in these two games!
After 40 rounds, Leeds United's hopes of hitting the Super League are not only completely dashed, but they are only 5 points away from the relegation zone!
Things have come to this point, and the manager is of course to blame.
However, objectively speaking, Leeds United has experienced the sale of two core players, Snodgrass and Beccio, this season, and experienced a change of ownership halfway, and the new owner's investment in the transfer market is extremely limited.
However, his stubbornness is also unforgivable. A couple of FA Cup victories left the team to play on two fronts for long periods without bench depth, and missed out on a mid-season finish in the top six.
Later, in the critical stage of the season, he sent the same lineup for many consecutive games, without giving the main team any respite, and finally caused a large number of injuries and a seven-game winless run.
Yorkshire Evening Post's chief sports reporter Phil. In the aftermath of the West Yorkshire derby, the Sea wrote an article criticising Leeds United's new owners, Gulf Financial Capital. Phil. Hai believes that Gulf financial capital is the biggest cancer of Leeds United, and directly wrote in the article: "Bloodthirsty international investment bank, football is not a place for you to circle money!" Ignoring team building, speculating on the stock price, what you are doing is Kenben is not running a football club! Now that you've found it completely unprofitable, get out of here! Walk slowly, don't send! “
In order to alleviate the pressure of public opinion and cater to the psychology of fans, Gulf Financial Capital immediately found the most suitable scapegoat: the head coach.
Whenever this happens, the head coach is the best person to carry the blame.
After losing 2-1 away to Derby County in the 40th round, it took less than three hours for Leeds United to officially announce Neil. News of Warnock's departure.
In this regard, the veteran coach Warnock, who has been in professional football for most of his life, has long been accustomed to it, and he showed his backbone as a professional coach at the last moment: he did not shirk his responsibilities, nor did he make any flattery or begging to the club, and accepted his dismissal very calmly.
But the senior officials of Gulf Financial Capital soon discovered that finding a suitable new commander was not an easy task.
The manager that Leeds United can look up to, they have completely disregarded Leeds United, or more precisely the owners of Leeds United.
What coach would want to work with a club that doesn't want to commit and instead sees the club as a cash cow?
