Chapter 160 "Red Devil" is in a hurry
After Leeds United took a two-goal lead, the "Blue Moon" was finally anxious, and they could still be indifferent when they were one goal behind, after all, one goal ...... It's really not difficult for Manchester City, even if you score two goals in a row at your home stadium, it's normal, but in the second half of the game, not only did you fail to tie the score, but the opponent scored another goal, which makes people can't be calm.
Go on like this...... It's the rhythm of losing!
But the Manchester City team is in a hurry, but Leeds United is not in a hurry at all, and even they are still trying to slow down the pace of the game, as long as they get the ball, they must pass it against the shrill boos in the Etihad Stadium, until the ball is really uncontrollable under the pressure of Manchester City, this will pass the ball to the front, otherwise the "Young Guards" will not be in a hurry to attack.
As the final whistle drew closer, Manuel Pellegrini also played the last two cards in his hand, No. 8 Lescott replaced No. 9 Dzeko, Sergio Aguero went to the front, and No. 20 Brazilian Douglas ? Costa also replaces Danny.
At this time, Chilean engineers have begun to miss David in his prime? Silva, this little Spanish man was injured after playing two games under him, and now he can only sit on the bench temporarily after returning from injury, such a fierce game today, at this time Manchester City is facing an unfavorable situation, and it is no longer suitable as David? Silva's comeback battle, if it's a full-form David? Silva, Pellegrini believes he will give himself what he wants, the Spaniard's tandem ability, breakthrough ability, and even not weak scoring ability are what Manchester City need at the moment.
There are a lot of players on the football field who are born for the big scene, like Zidane, Andres Iniesta and so on. David? Silva is also a key man, and he has provided the motivation to keep the team going forward on a number of occasions in the past when the 'Blue Moon' has been in trouble.
But now...... David? Silva is not good yet, his form has not yet recovered, and Pellegrini cannot risk him after the injury!
The game gradually came to an end, and the game reached 70 minutes later. The mentality of the "blue moon" is more anxious, and the passion is gradually leaving them, although Manchester City is still playing against Leeds United, it has become dull, and Manchester City's ability to create chances is rapidly declining......
Simon? Grayson also used up the last two substitutions here, of course, the purpose is not to turn the situation around, but simply to delay time.
"Tick-Tick-Tickββββββ"
Three long whistles, finally sounded, and the game was over. Manchester City, playing at home, ended up losing 0-2 at home to Leeds United.
Although "The Beast" Tevez failed to score today, his performance on the field was very active, and the Manchester City back line was very uneasy, and naturally his performance was still a lot worse than Shaq, who won the best game of the game.
Simon? After hugging his partners one by one, Grayson went to shake Pellegrini's hand with a smile on his face, and his puffed up look showed his mood at this time...... Pretty good!
Having won the away game against the "Blue Moon", Simon? Grayson, of course, was in a good mood. For now, the team will continue to lead the table with an unbeaten record of nine games, eight wins and one draw, and most importantly, Leeds United's schedule will be much easier in the future. It will be a month before they meet Tottenham Hotspur, and the quality of this opponent is ...... Hehe, they're far worse than Manchester City.
The outstanding performance of the 'Young Guards' made them the favourites of all bookmakers after this game, as Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 away at Norwich City and Leeds United led the table by two points. And the most important thing is naturally Leeds United's advantage in the next period of time, the most difficult schedule for the "Young Guards"...... It's already in the past.
And Simon? Grayson and his side were indeed very consistent, and Leeds United beat Newcastle 2-0 away in the Carabao Cup fourth round with Shaq and a host of substitutes.
And then back in the Premier League. Leeds United easily defeated Wolves 4-1 away to achieve their ninth win of the season and continue to lead the table with an unbeaten record of 28 points from 10 games, 9 wins and 1 draw, while Villas-Boas and his Tottenham Hotspur also worked hard, beating Newcastle 2-0 at home to continue to chase the "Young Guard" by two points.
After beating Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Young Guards face the fourth round of Group G of the Champions League, this time away to Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
In the last round, Leeds United beat Barcelona 3-0 at home, which shook the European football world, and this time Leeds United has not finished the day of vacation after the match, and the media can't wait to start hyping Barcelona's revenge.
Who is Barcelona!?
It is the top giants in European football, and since the 2008~2009 season Guardiola has been coaching, this team has reached an unprecedented height, although the way they play has been criticized, but the nickname of "Cosmos Team" is enough to prove how strong this team is, although the strength of the team has declined a lot in recent years because of the continuous replacement of Villanova and "Tata", but this team is still one of the best teams on the planet.
Therefore, even if Leeds United beat Barcelona 3-0 at home, it was completely underestimated in the second meeting between the two sides, and no one thought that Leeds United would be able to get out of the way at the Camp Nou, because that is something that is difficult for Real Madrid to do, Leeds United............ Hehe, they're far behind!
Actually Simon? Grayson is not so nervous about the fourth-round away game against Barcelona, because Leeds United can afford to lose at the moment, winning all the first three games, so that Leeds United now has nine points, five points more than the third-placed Schalke 04, and only one more win in the next three games will ensure group qualification, and the loss to Barcelona will also be equal on nine points. Schalke 04 only has 7 points even if they win against Rapid Bucharest, and the initiative is still in their own hands.
Relatively speaking, Simon? Grayson is now more focused on the team's self-adjustment, and with almost a third of the way through the season, Leeds United are still in good shape at the moment, with no injuries in the squad. But the main players still need to get a break, after playing the away game against Barcelona, Leeds United's large-scale rotation is about to begin, and he, as the manager, will naturally have to make good arrangements before that.
On November 4th, Simon? Grayson was busy until late and will be leading the team to Barcelona tomorrow, and he and the coaching staff still have a lot of work to do.
Just back home, Simon? Grayson's wife told him that someone had called him and said he was in a hurry. It was an important matter related to his future, but he did not leave his name, only a phone number.
Simon? Grayson looked at the number suspiciously, very unfamiliar, he had never been contacted before, and it was 21 o'clock in the evening, and he called after thinking about it.
The call was answered immediately, as if the other party had been waiting for the call. A deep man's voice rang out: "Hello, yes...... Simon? Mr. Grayson? β
"Yes! Am I Simon? Grayson. Who are you? β
"I'm David? Jill! Manchester United's David? Jill! β
David...... Jill?
David? Jill!?
Simon? Grayson was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in shock. Gill, oh my God, isn't this the former CEO of Manchester United!?
This summer, after the retirement of "Old Squire" Alex Ferguson. Manchester United CEO David? Jill has also officially stepped down, which also represents the end of the "Ferguson era", and the new CEO is the former vice chairman Ed? With Woodward, coupled with the arrival of David Moyes, Manchester United has entered a new era. However, it is clear that the new 'Red Devils' are no longer as brave as they once were, and they are now only eighth in the league table.
This time David? What will happen to Jill looking for herself?
Simon? Grayson sorted out his thoughts and asked tentatively, "Mr. Jill, are you looking for me...... What's the matter? β
"Yes, I did have something to talk to you about, I don't know...... Well, I'll just say it, I want to know, are you interested in coaching Manchester United? β
Yes!?
Simon? Grayson was stunned!
Coaching Manchester United!?
Coach the "old man" Ferguson to create the first giant in the Premier League!?
David? Gil's voice came again: "Simon, I don't think you will believe it, but I can assure you that what I said is absolutely true, you know, Manchester United have been terrible this season, the board has determined that David Moyes is not the right person for Manchester United, and your ability to do your job is highly valued, so ...... Hehe, I, who have already retired, have been sent out to make contact with you. β
Simon? Grayson's heart is in a mess, he really never dreamed that he would be favored by the "Red Devils", his work in Leeds United is indeed remarkable, not only cultivated the "Leeds Three Musketeers" such a sign, but also led a promoted polo team to the championship, last season was the last year of his coaching career "old man" to suppress and steal the title of the best coach, this coaching ability is indeed no need to doubt.
And Manchester United did go through repeated arguments before David? Jill, the former CEO, came to Simon? Grayson's, although it is the club owner Glazer family force to change the coach, after all, the "Red Devils" is a money printing machine, the Americans must demand the team's results, even if Moyes can only show competitiveness for the championship, they will continue to trust the Scotsman because of Ferguson's relationship, but now ...... Although the season has only only started for a short time, Manchester United is already showing signs of collapse.
If it weren't for all kinds of concerns, Moyes might have been fired now, and after many meetings and discussions, Manchester United felt that Moyes should still be given some opportunities, at least until the end of the season before deciding whether he would stay or not, but before that, Manchester United also has to make some preparations for a change of manager, good at cultivating young players, and leading the team to a good enough Simon? Grayson, of course, has become the first choice of the "Red Devils", but there is still uncertainty in this matter at the moment, so he can only let David? Jill came forward and was able to show both to Simon? Grayson's attention can also reflect Manchester United's sincerity.
For any coach in English football, coaching Manchester United is a huge temptation, otherwise Mourinho would not have returned to England from Spain so happily, but because the "old man" Ferguson is too strong, Manchester United finally chose Moyes, otherwise with Moyes has no coaching experience in a giant team, Manchester United will be more inclined to Mourinho.
Still, Simon? Grayson is different, this is a young but capable manager, although the current fame is not big enough, but if you wait until this season the "Young Guard" becomes the league champion, Simon? Grayson has become a sought-after commodity.
Simon? After Grayson thought about it, he still didn't say anything to death and promised David? Jill will think about it carefully, and when he puts down the phone, Simon? Grayson turned to his wife and shouted, "Honey, what do you think of us moving our family to Manchester?" (To be continued......)
