Chapter 67: The Red Devil

Leeds win against Manchester City!

The final outcome of the Community Shield shocked the entire English football world, and no one could have imagined such a strong return for the Young Guards.

Manchester City, that is the champion team that has just broken the monopoly of Manchester United and Chelsea and changed the pattern of the English Premier League, and they have just invested heavily in strengthening the team's defense this summer, Srna is worth as much as 17.75 million pounds, Bochetti spent 16 million pounds on Manchester City, and after adding to last season's championship squad, everyone originally thought that Manchester City's goal this season should be at least the Champions League semifinals, which thought of a small Community Shield, a small Leeds United, actually let the "Blue Moon" fall on his heels.

Indeed, there was an element of luck in this Community Shield match, and if it weren't for Bochetti's own goal, the 'Peacocks' would never have had a chance to beat Manchester City, even if they only 'stole' Tevez from Manchester City this summer.

But football matches are like that, winning is winning, losing is losing, winning is above all else!

Manchester City have been criticized from all sides as the losing side......

"Blue Moon is impetuous, and the mentality of love rivals is clear at a glance, so this season's league championship is worrying!"

"Mancini's coaching level is limited, his own psychological quality is very average, and the team he brings out is naturally even more unbearable, Manchester City must change the coach if they want to go further!"

'The Italy international made his debut and Bochetti delivered the win for Leeds United!'

Under the guidance of those who have a heart, the defending champion of the "Blue Moon" has not yet started the new season, it has been attacked by the English media, and many people hope to use this to blow their confidence, and the team that is interested in competing with Manchester City for the title must not miss such an opportunity.

As the winner's side, Leeds United was unanimously praised, regardless of whether the result of the game was due to luck, Leeds United didn't win in the end, and the performance of the "Young Guards" on the pitch really can't be said to be bad, in the face of Manchester City's ferocious attack, they used tenacious defense to block the opponent's wave after wave of offsets, and finally won, this is Leeds United's ability!

Being able to lead the team to victory, that's what Simon Grayson is capable of!

"Simon Grayson led his disciples to a hard-fought victory against a mighty Manchester City, in which the young team made up for their lack of experience and ability with a positive run and finally beat their opponents!"

"Shaq and Jonny Hausen have once again shown good form, and this time Hodgson really needs to consider whether Jonny Hausen should also have a place in England's midfield!"

"Leeds United's England twin have been outstanding, with Shaq and Jonny withstanding the multinational force of Nasri, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Frenkie de Jong, who will surely contribute more to the England team in the future! Hodgson's reform of the England team should be further strengthened! ”

'Shaq and Jonny Hausen are already playing for the big clubs, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and others are already following them and they will be signing the rising Leeds duo if possible.'

Although it is just an English Premier League appetizer that will be there every season, this Community Shield match has been hyped under the influence of various factors, from the game itself to the coaching ability and level of England coach Hodgson, and even the reform policy of the English FA has been affirmed, after all, England fans are really tired of seeing the old faces of the national team, and Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen have continued their excellent form last season. It has also made fans start to look forward to their transfer to the big clubs, after all, it is only mid-August, and there are still ten days left before the transfer market closes, and anything can happen.

Moreover, some of these rumors are really not groundless, at the moment Simon Grayson has been messed up, the honor of the Community Shield has not brought him any enjoyment, after all, the first game of the new Super League season is coming, and this time Leeds United is going to Old Trafford to play with the "Red Devils" Manchester United, although Simon Grayson does not dare to expect a victory, but he also racks his brains and does not want to go back empty-handed, even if it is only to get a point away from home, It will also be a good start to the new season for Leeds United.

What makes Simon Grayson feel even more pressure is the transfer market that is about to close, the transfer rumors of Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen are true, and Leeds United has really received transfer offers from other teams.

Jonny Hausen attracted the attention of Chelsea and Arsenal, with the 'Gunners' offering £6 million for Jonny Hausen and the 'Blues' being more generous, wanting to take the Leeds United captain for £9 million.

Relatively speaking, Zach Thompson's budding midfielder is the most sought-after, which is completely different from last season's tentative offers, the "old man" Ferguson gave an offer of 15 million pounds, Chelsea gave an offer of 18 million pounds, and even the "professor" Wenger gave a rare generosity and gave a 12 million pound offer, only the "Red Army" Liverpool gave a "low price" of 11 million pounds.

However, there were other moves on the Liverpool side, with Steven Gerrard publicly calling out Zach Thompson in front of the media: "Shaq is a fantastic little guy, he has the ability to play in any big team, and I worked really well with Shaq in England, I believe if he can come to Anfield and play we will definitely make Liverpool stronger!" And most importantly, I believe that with Shak's ability, he is fully equipped to become the leader of our 'Red Army' in the future! ”

Liverpool's offer is not high, but Gerrard's call is quite weighty, as the "Red Army" in the past ten years, Gerrard has absolute prestige in the Liverpool team, and this is also a team that pays great attention to tradition, if Gerrard said that Zach Thompson can become the banner of Liverpool in the future, then even if there are stars such as Reina, Suarez, Ag, Lucas, Stewart and other stars in the Liverpool team now, Zach Thompson will definitely be focused on training, As long as there is no problem with his personal ability, he will eventually grow into a new generation of "Red Army" leaders.

However, Simon Grayson rejected all of these transfer offers, and even Leeds United chairman Ken Bates fully supported his approach, because they all decided that Leeds United must not be sold this season, especially the core of the team like Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen, which must not be sold.

It's not just the club that doesn't want to sell, but even the players themselves don't want to leave, but there is still a big difference between the performances of Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen.

Zach Thompson smiled in response to reporters' questions about his transfer: "Transfer? No, I don't hear of any team interested in me, and I'm having a great time here, and I'm going to contribute to the team's goals for the season! ”

Jonny Hausen's answer was very simple: "Transfer? Hehe, what are you kidding? Don't you know? I grew up in Leeds, my home and my family are here, and I love everything about it, so I'm going to keep playing here until I can't kick! It's no exaggeration to say that I want to be the Steven Gerrard of Leeds, that's my goal! ”

Although Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen both expressed their willingness not to leave, their answers still made other clubs interpret other meanings, that is, Jonny Hausen, the homegrown captain, intends to play in Leeds United until he is old, and the famous "Shaq" does not want to leave for the time being, and will he ...... Who knows?

In the week before the official start of the new season, Simon Grayson has increased the training volume for his team, he does not want his players to think too much about something irrelevant to the game, and he also believes that his team can use this to resist the pressure brought by the "Red Devils" Manchester United, including himself, he needs a lot of work to counter the deterrence brought by the high "old man", because in English football, there is really no one who can ignore this team from Manchester, Even if you can ignore the "Blue Moon", you must not ignore the "Red Devils" Manchester United, who have been the backbone of English football for the past ten years!

And Simon Grayson would never have dreamed that while he was training hard with his team at Thorpe's Arch training base, Manchester United's Carrington training ground would also look nervous.

Leeds United were lucky to beat Leman City in the Community Shield, which made the "old man" raise his vigilance to the highest limit, this old man who is accustomed to ups and downs and pushed the "Red Devils" to the top several times, is by no means comparable to the young Mancini, and he will not take any opponent lightly.

Last season, Manchester United lost the title at the last minute due to goal difference, but this season the "old man" is determined to win the title, because he is 70 years old and really old enough to retire, but before that he wants to win another title.

To that end, even though United already had stars such as Wayne Rooney, Fellaini, You, Hernandes, Ashley Young, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Ferguson spent another amount of money this summer, poaching last season's Premier League top scorer Robin van Persie from Arsenal for £24 million, and then buying 22-year-old midfield talent Ganso from Brazil's Santos for £25.5 million.

In fact, it is not the first time that Ferguson has used this method to strengthen the team's attacking power when the team has not won the championship, and this old man has used this almost stubborn strategy many times to bring the team back to the top again and again.

This season, there is only one goal to raise the team's attacking power to the formidable "Red Devils" Manchester United...... Champion!

The new season has not yet begun, and the domineering spirit of the "Red Devils" Manchester United has come to the face, and the first to bear the brunt is the promotion horse...... Leeds United!
