Driving a Bentley to the Elland Road Stadium, Xu Yifei greeted the doorman with a smile, but the doorman stared at Xu Yifei for a long time before finally recognizing the person: "Well, yes, you are Xu." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, you have changed too much, right? If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell it's you. ”

After this summer, Xu Yifei has changed greatly. His height has soared to 1.84 meters, his weight has increased to 77 kilograms, his complexion has become dark, his originally somewhat weak body has become extremely strong, and his body exudes a domineering and wild spirit.

Xu Yifei's vigor has nothing to do with bulkiness. On the contrary, his body proportions are extremely harmonious, and his slender legs almost occupy the golden ratio of the whole body.

With a slender waist and abdomen and a broad chest, his figure looks extremely straight.

The facial lines that are like knives and axes, as well as the strong neck muscles, always show his wild spirit.

The biggest change is still in those eyes. The dark eyes exuded a sharp light, and the light was like a sword and sword, which could pierce the depths of people's souls, and naturally gave people a kind of shock.

This kind of change happened in just three months, and it is no wonder that the old man of the doorman couldn't recognize Xu Yifei.

Entering the player's tunnel with a smile and coming to the locker room, Xu Yifei did not squint at all, changed his clothes as if no one was around, and came to the court.

He has now made up his mind that no matter how the lineup changes in the team, he must take himself as the core and no longer care about other people's feelings!

Because his position is a midfielder, he is the offensive and defensive hub of the whole team, as long as he plays, he must appear in the middle of the midfield. Although he will also take care of the wings, it is by no means his focus.

Since he is playing in the middle of the midfield, there is no doubt that he is a core on the field regardless of whether he has a forward midfielder in front of him!

As for the others? Must fly around him!

What's more, the head coach once promised in person that he would build a team with a few of their young people as the team, so what else did he worry about?

Therefore, on the first day of the new season training camp, he was so high-profile, just to send a signal to everyone: this team, I am the core, I don't need to look at anyone's face!

Soon, Byram, Mowat, Taylor, Kenny, Pertier and other teammates were on the pitch. Of course, there are some new faces.

Leeds United have been changing players frequently in recent years. Habib, who joined last season in the winter window, proved to be a terrible signing, and has now left.

Veteran Soma was injured and swept out of the house by McDermott. And Steve. Morrison has been loaned to his former club "The Lions" Millwall.

In terms of recruitment, new head coach Brian Murphy. McDermott remains focused on midfielders.

Among the four new recruits, there are as many as three in attack, namely two strikers and one attacking midfielder.

Forward: 24-year-old Matt. Smith, 30-year-old Noel. Hunter.

Attacking midfielder: Luke, 23, from Crewe Alexandra. Murphy.

Defensively, only one person has been brought in: 21-year-old Manchester United centre-back Scott. Wooton.

Leeds United first team squad for 2013/2014:

Goalkeepers: Kenny, Ashdown.

Defenders: Pelletier, Pearce, Austin (centre-back), Wooton, Warnock, Drury, Charlie. Taylor.

Midfielders: Xu Yifei, Luke. Murphy, Paul. Green, Michael. Don, Alex. Mowat, Michael. Brown, Vanney, Norris, Ryan. Hall, Bayram.

Forwards: Diouf, McCormack, Noel. Hunter, Matt. Smith.

After a few warm-up games, the main lineup has also completed the run-in.

The back four lined up: Charlie. Taylor, Wooton, Pelletier, Warnock.

Midfielder diamond position, Luke. Murphy rushed forward, Xu Yifei stepped back, and Mowat and Byram separated from each other.

Up front, McCormack locked in a main position, and the other chose Matt, who is more often a 1.98-meter-tall player. Smith, forming a combination of one high and one fast.

After a brief introduction, the training camp begins.

Since the long vacation has just ended, the training is not arranged for fierce confrontation, and it is relatively relaxed.

But Xu Yifei's performance still caught everyone's attention. In addition to the huge change in appearance, the most intuitive feeling is that his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

In the previous shooting practice, although Xu Yifei also took Batistuta's explosive shooting path, due to his lack of strength, he could not pose much threat to the main goalkeeper Kenny.

However, after a summer of crazy training, now that Xu Yifei shoots the football at the top of the arc of the penalty area, Kenny can only look at the ball and sigh many times even if he goes all out.

At the moment when Xu Yifei's shot leg was thrown out, onlookers even faintly felt that Xu Yifei's leg seemed to have turned into a powerful steel whip. When he hit the ball with the instep of his foot, the explosion made people involuntarily feel a sense of fear.

Due to the underestimation of Xu Yifei's strength, Kenny had no time to react three times in a row, and could only watch the football fly into the net. It wasn't until the fourth time that a symbolic save was made...

What's even more terrifying is that Xu Yifei's left and right feet are extremely balanced. The shooting power of both feet is almost exactly the same!

In terms of physical confrontation, Xu Yifei's improvement is also quite obvious. Even Austin, a Jamaican who is known as "black and hard", can't find any cheap for Xu Yifei now.

"Very good, this kid is a treasure!" McDermott whispered in his heart, "By the way, Pertier is a little older, and he doesn't have any leadership qualities. Captain Leeds, it's time for a change. However, this matter cannot be rushed, and this kid needs to further establish his prestige through the competition. “

At the start of the league game, Leeds United beat visiting Brighton 2-1 at home, then challenged Leicester City away 0-0, with one win and one draw, and also reversed Chesterfield in the first round of the League Cup to advance to the second round.

In all three games, Xu Yifei started all the games and played the full 90 minutes, contributing 29 steals and 1 assist, which not only established the position of the main defender in one fell swoop, but also made McDermott finally make up his mind to hand over the captain's armband to him.

In the third round of the league, Leeds United played at home against Sheffield Wednesday, which was Xu Yifei's first time as captain.

Sheffield Wednesday, whose full name is Sheffield Wednesday, is one of the oldest football clubs in the world, and although it has not appeared in the top flight for many years, Sheffield Wednesday's heritage is definitely not to be underestimated.

If you talk about the number of die-hard fans, you can roughly see it from one statistic, and that is the average number of people who go to the away stadium to watch a game. In this regard, the FA has done a survey. In the 2012/2013 season, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United were both in the top five of the league's 72 clubs, more than most Premier League clubs!

Xu Yifei, who has just taken over the captain's armband, will face a team like Sheffield Wednesday at home in his first game, what kind of performance will he show?
