Chapter 150: A New Pattern

After beating German powerhouse Schalke 04 7-1 at home in their first Champions League game, the "Young Guards" gained too much.

It's a young team!

Some of the young ones ...... Excessively!

Head coach Simon? Grayson doesn't have a too commendable coaching resume, and he doesn't even have the experience of coaching a Premier League team before, let alone the Champions League, which is a registered event, and he used to only watch it on TV, but now he "slaughtered" Schalke 04 at home, which made Simon, who was walking on thin ice before? Grayson's head was raised.

Among the players, there was only one seedling like "Beast" who had experience in the Champions League, and a group of young boys were more or less nervous when they played the Champions League for the first time, but now...... These boys are so confident that they are already a little arrogant, they think that the level of the Champions League is actually like that, not much higher than the Premier League!

This self-confidence is of course different from the mood of underestimating the enemy, only because these lads at Leeds United are unconsciously strong to a point that they themselves could not even imagine.

Back in the league, with the ferocious momentum of a 7-1 win over Schalke 04, Leeds United comfortably beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home.

It is worth mentioning that taking advantage of the team's high morale and brave form, Simon? Grayson directly used the rotation system, and after playing Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Schalke 04 in a row, some players did need to rest.

Of course, Simon? Grayson didn't dare to rotate all of them, he just replaced the Swede boy Pivkowski with Snodgrass, and although the Scotsman has been a substitute, the age of 26 makes it easy for him to maintain his form. And he has been in the team for six years, and his conscientious style is definitely trustworthy, if it weren't for the fact that his ability is really not as good as Pivkowski, he would definitely be the main force in the iron fight, although he did not score a goal in this game, he received an assist.

In addition, "Little Ben" Chris? Farley replaced Ben? Parker. The seventeen-year-old did well in the pre-season warm-up, and was very active in training, plus he also belonged to the "Swordsman Group", this relationship was no problem, and he played quite well in this game, with 61 attempted passes, 54 completions, 3 tackles, 6 interceptions, 2 headers, and quite impressive performance on the defensive end, but only 2 shots on the offensive side. Four crosses were unsuccessful, and for the "Young Guard", who has developed a tradition of full-backs in recent years, he can only be a "small book".

In addition to these two, John? Did Fleck replace Jonny? Howson started the game, but his performance was still mediocre, and he was a far cry from the Leeds captain.

"Big Black" Ameobi continued to appear in the starting lineup, and he and "The Beast" were indeed a tacit partnership that complemented each other's styles, and both scored a goal. And they all gave assists to the other side.

Centre-back Reid also scored a goal from a corner kick in this game, and the increasingly good young New Zealand defender has indeed the strength to enter the big team.

Leeds United will have many competitions such as the League Cup and the Premier League. But their opponents aren't very strong, Simon? Naturally, Grayson rotated as much as he could, but no matter how he rotated, the core of the team never moved, and that was Shaq.

For Leeds United, Shaq is not on the pitch at all. Their combat effectiveness is about to drop by at least forty percent, and the previous smooth tactical coordination can't be played, and Shaq's physical condition is perverted, Simon? Grayson simply didn't rotate him.

Another rotation is less than the striker, Leeds United is now the only striker Tevez and Nelson? Oliveira and Ameobi are just three people. Pivkowski, Snodgrass and others can only make cameos, and the physical consumption of the striker players is actually not very much, and the rotation can ensure the playing rate.

Barnetta, Vogt, "Little Ben", David? Bentley, Odi, Connolly, Ashley? Hood, Hammet? Altentop and others have been given a lot of opportunities to appear.

Although the strongest lineup of the "Young Guard" has not appeared for a long time, the record of this team is very amazing, and they are ...... Keep winning!

After beating Aston Villa 3-0 in the fifth round of the Premier League......

In the third round of the League Cup, they beat Leicester 5-2 away.

On September 28, in the sixth round of the English Premier League, Leeds United played away from Derby County, and before the game, the head coach of the Derby County team "Big Sam" Allardyce issued a grudge and said cruelly: "Leeds United wants to win the championship? Ha! Saturday! It's this Saturday! We're going to beat Leeds at home, I'm going to let Simon? Grayson and his team have come to their senses, and the championship dream is not something that anyone can do. ”

Simon? Grayson didn't say anything in the face of the reporters' "rumors" before the game, but during the game, he took out the most powerful weapon of the "Young Guards"...... the "Leeds Three Musketeers" left-wing offensive system!

And so ............ the tragedy of "Big Sam"!

Just seven minutes into the game, Shaq headed David Derby County in front of the left-hand post. Bentley's cross goes into the back of the net...... 1:0, Leeds United, who were playing away, easily took the lead.

After the army was settled, the "Young Guard" began to wield the butcher knife in his hand and slaughtered the opponent mercilessly......

The majority of this Leeds United team is Simon? Grayson personally trained it, and there are also the three cores of the "Leeds Three Musketeers" that he cultivated single-handedly, how can a disciple be indifferent to the humiliation of the teacher?

At 20 minutes, after a steal in the midfield, Shaq sent a precise 35-meter long pass on the spot to find Nelson in front? Oliveira, the Portuguese kid was not greedy, and gave it to the "beast" Tevez on the left with a flick of his head, and the Argentine striker pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the Derby County goal...... 2:0！

Three minutes later, Leeds United played a tactical kick and Reid received a clever pass from Bentley on the right side of the penalty spot and fired home again...... 3:0！

44 minutes. Nelson? Oliveira scored a hanging shot from outside the penalty area, and the score became 4:0!

One minute of stoppage time in the first half, Captain Leeds ran 35 meters with the ball in the counterattack, and the opposing two players followed him for half the pitch but did not even touch the corner of his clothes. Hausen made the score 5:0 with a low shot!

"Big Sam"'s face was all green with anger, he never dreamed of Simon? Grayson turned out to be so ruthless. He really didn't think about wrestling with Leeds United in the morning, Derby County is not at the same level as the opponent, too much worse, he just wanted to boost morale, and the result was ...... That's what the turned out to be!

After conceding five goals in half a game, do you have to concede 10 goals in the whole game!?

Damn it!

You can die!

Fortunately, "Big Sam's" worries were a bit redundant, and when the two sides changed sides in the second half, Leeds United relented. Grayson let out a sigh of relief. There is no need for the 'Young Guards' to waste their energy on the Derby County team.

Although the team's combat effectiveness was consciously suppressed, the initiative of the game did not fall into the hands of the Derby County team, the ball was firmly controlled by Leeds United, and the opponent was not given any chance to attack at all, and the whole game was 90 minutes down, and the Derby County team only had three shots on goal and one shot on target, which shows how far Leeds United's control of the game has reached.

After six rounds of league matches, the situation in the standings is gradually becoming clearer. With 16 points from 6 games, 5 wins and 1 draw, the "Young Guards" surpassed Tottenham Hotspur by scoring 20 goals and conceding 1 goal and winning 19 goals. Rushed to the top of the standings.

In second place is Tottenham Hotspur led by "little madman" Villas-Boas, who threatened to resign in the summer and forced chairman Daniel? Levy rejected Real Madrid's £70 million offer to put Gareth? Bale stayed, and there is a saying that after the end of the season. Bale will join Real Madrid for £86 million, or €100 million, with Villas-Boas betting his career to win his biggest season at Tottenham Hotspur, and he did well, winning all five league games in the previous five league games. It's just that this round was upset and drawn by Wolves 2:2 away from home, which gave the "Young Guards" a chance to surpass.

The third-place "Reds" Liverpool have 14 points from 6 games, 4 wins and 2 draws, and Rodgers' team has also shown good fighting power.

In fourth place is the "Blue Moon" Manchester City, the Chilean engineer has the ability to coach, but he still needs a process of adaptation, and the current record of 12 points from 6 games, 4 wins and 2 losses just proves that this team is still in a run-in period.

Manchester United and Chelsea, who also changed coaches this season, have poor results, and the "Blues" taken over by Mourinho are a mess, and the aging of players and the lack of a new generation will be the problems he needs to solve this season, so no one will be too demanding of him, even the Russian tycoon is very patient and waiting.

But Moyes, who replaced the "old man" Ferguson this season, began to be criticized, and the Scots transplanted his "dick silk tactics" in Everton to the defending champion "Red Devils".

The result...... Manchester United have a large number of injuries!

Robin van Persie, who performed well last season, is injured, midfield commander Michael Carrick is injured, Rio Ferdinand has had another back attack, and even Angel Di Maria, who has been on loan from Real Madrid this season, has been injured after playing a game, while Serbian centre-back Subotic, who has spent £17 million poached from Borussia Dortmund this season, has been injured without even playing a game.

For a while, the aura of "Ferguson II" was no longer hanging over Moyes's head, but a dark cloud!

Under the influence of various factors such as the impact of emerging forces and the change of coaches of many strong teams, although the new season of the Premier League has just begun, it has already shown an extremely chaotic state, and this pattern is even more unclear than last season.
