Chapter 75 is eye-catching

Carlos Tevez "The Beast" erupted in a scoring frenzy at Leeds United, and naturally the strength of the "Young Guards" in the Premier League table followed.

After four rounds of the English Premier League, Leeds United is already in fourth place in the standings with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss and 9 points, while Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all in the top three of the standings with 10 points with 3 wins and 1 draw.

Sky Sports' football section was the first to praise Tevez: When Argentine striker Carlos Tevez moved to Leeds United in the summer, many thought it would be the beginning of the fall of the "beast", but after four league games, we have to pay more attention to this small Argentine, who played a total of three games for Leeds United in four league games, but scored a staggering 10 goals. Leeds United have only scored 14 goals in four league games, and it can be said that Tevez has single-handedly brought Leeds United to the top of the table! Now, there are probably a number of teams who are already starting to envy Leeds United's big summer transfer market! However, we must also note that although Leeds United are in fourth place in the standings, it is not a good phenomenon to rely too much on Tevez's goals, and once the Argentine's goal frenzy has passed, perhaps the "Peacock Army" will have to pay for it.

Contrary to Sky Sports' point of view, The Sun is known for its lace news: after four league games, Leeds United are in fourth place in the table, and although Tevez's skills are completely inversely proportional to his appearance, his role in Leeds United is very crucial! But let's not forget that Leeds United's top scorer last season has not yet made a name for himself, and the recent well-known star in England "Shaq" was Leeds United's top scorer last season, he scored 26 goals in 42 Championship games for Leeds United, and he has only scored one goal for the team this season.

"Sky Sports" and "The Sun" are well-known media in English sports, and the two have always liked to play against each other, and when they put forward their own opinions, a large number of media came out to join in the fun, and the entire English football world began to discuss the topic of how far Leeds can go, and even Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams did not have the "Young Guard" to attract attention.

In the midst of all the talk, Leeds United also played the first round of the Europa League group stage, they beat Dynamo Kiev 3-0 at their home stadium, Snodgrass, Ben Parker, and Connoli each scored a goal, and the much-talked-about "Beast" "Shaq" failed to score in this game.

Although Dynamo Kyiv has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and there are no more famous stars in the team at the moment, they will not lose completely away from home, and losing to Leeds United with a score of 0:3 was simply unthinkable before.

In fact, Dynamo Kyiv didn't want to lose at all, because Leeds United had a Zach Thompson who was named the best player of the match after the game, he ran an astonishing 14 kilometers in the game, and at the same time received 1 assist, 8 headers, 8 tackles, 4 interceptions, and as many as 40 successful passes.

This season, Zach Thompson has added all the skill points he has lived to his passing skills, and now his passing surname has increased to 17 points!

And Simon Grayson found that Zach Thompson's overall strength has improved a step further, and he also began to make new adjustments to his team's tactics, captain Jonny Howson's position is a little further to the left, and Ben Parker behind him forms a good offensive and defensive left side, and Bentley or Snodgrass who are active on the right side are also more right, in order to provide more space for Zach Thompson, and even right-back Connolly is limited to the ability to assist. He had to stay and be ready to fill in for Zach Thompson.

Simon Grayson sees Zach Thompson as the team's tactical core, which was decided after a meeting with his assistant Eric Black and other members of the coaching staff.

Then, in the fifth round of the English Premier League away to West Ham United on 23 September, Simon Grayson boldly used a new tactic.

West Ham United was also promoted to the Super League this season, Leeds United and West Ham United competed for the title in the English Champions League last season, and the two sides also played a 2:1 respectively, both won at home, but Leeds United went to West Ham United for the second time to play away from home and chose to retain their strength in order to compete for the FA Cup, so the "Young Guards" are really not afraid of the "Hammer Gang" from the bottom of their hearts, Especially this season, Leeds United has invested heavily in the transfer market to further strengthen their strength, while West Ham United has only spent £7 million on reinforcements, and the quality of the two teams is now clearly different.

The gap between Leeds United and West Ham United in terms of strength is also really reflected in the Premier League standings, Leeds United is in fourth place with 3 wins and 1 loss and 9 points, but West Ham United is in the bottom third with 2 draws and 2 losses and 2 points.

Simon Grayson's new tactics for Leeds United are actually a 5-3-2 tactic, but the formation has been tweaked with different player characteristics.

There are naturally two strikers on the front line, which is a little different from the three forwards played by Leeds United before, mainly relying on the "black big man" Ameobi as a cover, allowing "The Beast" Tevez to move freely around him, and can go to support the wing or cooperate with Ameobi, Simon Grayson This is also a complete liberation of Tevez, so that the last shackles that limit him have disappeared.

The midfield adjustment is the largest, Zach Thompson is naturally still sitting in the middle, while taking on defensive tasks, he will also be more involved in the team's attack, and even he has to be responsible for scheduling his team's work, and captain Jonny Howson and Bentley are in Zach Thompson's left back activities, the two of them can shrink back to help Zach Thompson organize the attack, or they can rush to the front to play the role of winger, but at this time the fullback needs to come up to help organize the attack.

So in the back line, Simon Grayson arranged three central defenders and two full-backs, the fullback's assist ability will give strong support to the slightly weak midfield, Ben Parker is the best choice on the left, and the right side of the candidate is to make Simon Grayson think about it very much, Connogli's personal ability is good, but in terms of awareness is a little worse, and finally Simon Grayson voted for the 32-year-old veteran Sasa Papacz, the Bosnian veteran is not fast, But his experience and consciousness were relied upon by Simon Grayson.

The three central defenders are still relatively easy to choose, Clegg Dawson's sense of speed and strength is good, and this young central defender has great potential, is Simon Grayson's focus on training, and was finally entrusted with the middle position of the three central defenders, flanked by Reid and Odi, these three central defenders are actually the best three in the current Leeds United team, as a promoted "Young Guard" is still a little worse in terms of squad thickness.

Leeds United arrived in London on the afternoon of 22 September and after settling their players into their hotel, Simon Grayson took his assistant Eric Black to the press conference.

At the press conference, Simon Grayson first revealed his team's starting line-up and bench roster, and then left it to reporters to ask questions.

"Simon, your team has a record of 3 wins and 1 defeat now, and is currently fourth in the table, is Leeds United aiming for relegation this season?"

"Of course!"

Simon Grayson chuckled: "We are a promoted team at Leeds United, this season is our first season back in the Premier League, and it is always our goal to establish ourselves in the Premier League. ”

As a person who has been in English football for decades, Simon Grayson certainly knows what these reporters want to hear, but he will not put pressure on his team easily, even if he himself does not think that relegation is still the goal of the team, after all, his team's recent form is really too brave, relegation is really not a difficult thing for Leeds United, if possible, he wants to try to qualify for next season's European competition, even if it is just the Europa League, it doesn't matter. But this just can't be said openly.

"Simon, according to the bookmaker's odds, your team is unanimously favored to win this game, do you have confidence in this game?"

"I should say that West Ham are a very tenacious team, but we played against them last season and we know them very well, but after a lot of signings in the summer, I believe my opponents are not familiar with us, so ...... Hehe! ”

Simon Grayson didn't say any more, but the implication was clear to everyone that Leeds United were confident of winning the game.

The reporters then asked a lot of questions, and Simon Grayson also calmly answered......

At this time, in the hotel where Leeds United was staying, Zach Thompson was playing poker with Tevez, Ben Parker, Ameobi, Jonny Howson and others, playing ...... Zakin flowers!

This kind of game, which originated from Chinese folklore, is a game that is both more courageous and more intelligent, and the contest between different psychological factors in reality has become a major feature of the game, of course, the biggest feature is ...... Gambling!

When Zach Thompson talked to Jonny Howson about this poker game, which can be said to be a simple version of stud, on the way to Johnny Howson, it aroused everyone's interest, so when they arrived at the hotel, this group of people took advantage of the rest time to play, the jackpot is not big, the ante of one pound is capped at one hundred pounds, and a group of people who are worth millions of dollars play this naturally without pressure, but enjoy more fun in the game.

"Don't look! £10! ”

Tevez threw a bill and grinned, "Shaq, it's up to you kid for tomorrow's game!" If you don't play well, go back and invite everyone to a big dinner! ”

"Follow!" Zach Thompson also threw a 10-pound bill: "Carlos, you're a bit of a strong man, this is the first time I've played the tactical core, this position was played by Jonny before!" ”

"20 pounds! I followed! Jonny Hausen smiled evilly: "Shaq, don't worry, we are good brothers, I will help you!" But...... Those who can work harder, I really like the feeling of being good now! ”

Jonny Hausen used to play in the team as the core of the midfield, but since he was arranged to play left midfield in the England team, Zach Thompson provided him with teammate bonuses, so this kid feels that the left midfield position is more suitable for him, and the feeling of being at home when playing left midfield gives him a hunch that if he continues to play the core of the midfield, he may just be an ordinary player, but if he plays left midfield, maybe he can become world-class one day. So when Simon Grayson told him about the new tactical idea, the kid immediately raised his hands in approval.

"Shit! Raise! £100! ”

Zach Thompson looked at his card, it was a leopard three, and he raised directly, everyone was just a game, no one pointed to this win, and immediately scared everyone else away.

Bentley, Snodglass, Red, Dawson and others are all chatting while drinking juice, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are levels, this game of Zakin does not seem to be able to play for everyone, and only Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, Tevez, Ameobi These team bigwigs are qualified!

"Shaq, you kid must be a big name, right? Ha, don't follow! ”

"Hehe, I haven't played this Zakin, but I do! Shaq's momentum is so strong, he must have got a big name, I won't follow! ”

"I'm not going to follow either!"

Seeing that Ameobi also threw away the cards in his hand with a smile, Zach Thompson pretended to exclaim: "Hey, you cunning guys! It's so cunning! All of them are foxes! ”

"Hahahahaha............"

Amidst the laughter, the relaxed and intimate atmosphere enveloped everyone in the Leeds United team......
