Leeds United's training ground locker room is located on the first floor of the training building, the team's facilities are very complete, as soon as he enters the dressing room, Michu can't help but sigh, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! The dressing room is well heated, so people don't want to go out in the cold January breeze at all!

"You're all set! Let's go out first, jog first to warm up, and then we will assign today's training content! Poyet said loudly, and the players looked up at them, didn't say anything, and went out one by one!

Looking at the reactions of the players in front of you, you can't blame the players for not being enthusiastic. Michu is also deeply aware of this situation, the team's performance in recent seasons has been really poor, considering the previous glory! No wonder everyone's morale is not high! Something that anyone with a discerning eye knows, even if he has the heart to cheer for the team, it is estimated to be counterproductive! What's more, I'm still a rookie!

Standing on the sidelines of the training ground, Michu watched his players warm up in the January wind before starting the day's regular training session under assistant coach Poyet.

Three hours later, the players were back in the dressing room, and Poyet followed Michu back to his office on the second floor. "The team is not in great shape, how are the coaching staff going to prepare for the game?" Mi Chu decided to throw the problem to the other party first, and then improvise, after all, he didn't understand anything now.

Poyet was stunned by Michu's question, and the look in his eyes was obviously unbelievable? Mi Chu thought about what the other party thought was right, if he could make a decision, what else would you want your head coach to do!

"I want to hear the advice of the big guys and brainstorm ideas!" Hearing Michu say this, Poyet spoke.

"Boss, the team is in a very bad state right now, which you can see, although the opponent is a Premier League team, but because this is our home stadium, I think we should take the initiative, after all, it's the FA Cup! The fans also want us to play more aggressively, and the team has been relegated repeatedly over the years! The fans will never give up, as long as the scene is not too ugly! ”

Mi Chu didn't speak, even if Mi Chu didn't go through the baptism of this kind of professional competition, he knew that such pre-game preparation and team strength, even if he wanted to overturn the opponent in the game, it was a difficult thing, but looking at Poyet's serious expression, Mi Chu had to sigh secretly, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor! For now, I can only listen to them.

"Then make arrangements according to the pre-game deployment agreed in advance! , but I think the team should strengthen the defensive drills, especially the defensive counterattack after the break! Although this was said by Mi Chu, Andrew's right to speak is still somewhat useful, and Mi Chu doesn't want to suffer a massacre in his first game, and he can't accept a big loss!

Seeing that Michu added another opinion, Poyet agreed repeatedly, he always felt that Andrew on the other side seemed to have changed a lot, but he couldn't say the specifics, but such a boss is still very easy to get along with!

Sensing the change in the other party's expression, Mi Chu was noncommittal, but made a face: What's the matter! I've never seen someone with a broken head! Seeing this, Poyet quickly got up and left the office to explain the work arrangements of the other staff!

In fact, Mi Chu didn't want to make such a hasty arrangement, but because he had no experience, he could only do so, he still had a long way to go, and the coach's road had just begun!

Soon, the match day came, the weather did not show any signs of improvement for a few days, it was still very cloudy, and there was still an hour and a half before the kick-off time, and it was already difficult to find a parking space in the parking lot outside the Elland Road stadium, although the team's results have deteriorated over the years, but Michu had to admire the stubbornness and loyalty of these Englishmen!

Leeds United is a long-established powerhouse in Leeds City, and even the decline in results year after year cannot shake the enthusiasm of the home team's fans! They have long seen the team as an integral part of their lives!

If you change to some Chinese, I don't know how many home teams you have changed! Outside the stadium, fans gathered in twos and threes, many wearing the home team's white jerseys and scarves, and were rushing to the stadium.

Leeds United's home turf, Elland Road, is located in Biston, Leeds, and was founded in 1897 and has been the home of Leeds United since its inception in 1919. Interestingly, Elland Road is the 12th largest stadium in England and the second largest outside of the Premier League (after Hillsborough).

That's a lot for a League One team! The stadium consists of the Rivi Stand, East Stand, South Stand and John? The Charles Stand consists of a capacity of 39,460 spectators.

According to today's trend, it is estimated that it is full! Leeds United's white shirt can also see away Portsmouth fans, but after all, it is an away game, and it is difficult to match the home team in terms of numbers!

At this time, Michu was staying in the home team's locker room with the team, Poyet was replacing Michu for pre-game deployment at this time, and the players were going to warm up after the meeting, Michu held back his excitement at this time, he was so big or the first time he entered the team's locker room! If it were Mi Chu before, I couldn't imagine that I could still sit there quietly, but now Mi Chu quietly leaned against the wall on the side of the locker room, watching Poyet's loud layout tactics, and feeling the restlessness and noise brought by the entry of 30,000 people above his head!

Soon, the players were ready to go out and warm up! At this time, Poyet looked at Michu with inquiring eyes, and Michu understood what he meant and shook his head gently!

Mi Chu also wants to speak loudly to boost morale, but in his current state, it is estimated that he will show his feet as soon as he speaks, even if he is in a hurry, he can't be in a hurry at this time! Some things are faster when you take your time! Poyet shrugged and beckoned the players to warm up, and the rest of the coaching staff and the team doctor poured out of the locker room!

Michu walked out with Poyet, "I want to wait until halftime to see if we need to make adjustments, you did a good job in the pre-game deployment" Michu said loudly, at this time they have come to the court, and the noise of the stadium can no longer be indescribable! Even close conversations need to be pressed together to be heard.

It was the first time Michu had watched a game on a professional pitch and as a head coach. He looked around excitedly!

Even if it is as large as the Elland Road Stadium, the distance between the spectator seats and the stadium is not very large, considering the stadiums in Germany, Italy and other countries! The atmosphere in the stadium in the UK is better during the game, and every action of the players in the stadium will be infinitely amplified, and the praise is as clear as the boos!

The famous Alex? Sir Alex Ferguson once claimed that Elland Road, home of Leeds United, was one of the most terrifying stadiums in Europe! Yes, especially when you see the home fans singing the team's anthem "MarchingOnTogether" in unison, even Michu, who is accustomed to seeing the most exaggerated scenes in the country, (which can be compared to a military parade?!) has to be moved!

When the players from both teams officially entered, Leeds United fans made a very traditional home team salute: the "Leeds Salute" (when an important person appears, the fan clenches his fist to the heart in respect, known as the Leeds Salute). ）

It's the best way for fans to show their support for the team! When the home fans made a gesture for their home team to give their hearts, the enthusiasm of the stadium completely shocked Michu! You can imagine how much pressure the opposing team is under at this time!
