Chapter 7 Fight Back to the Original Form!?

Leeds United's 10-0 thrashing of O'Haim caused quite a stir in English football, and as the most watched team this season, the performance of the "Young Guards" has always attracted attention, whether it is fans or competitors, people's eyes have never taken off them.

There have been so many things going on around Leeds United this summer, and every single one of them has been a landslide, with clubs changing owners, Shaq returning as owner and player, 'Brutal Simon' giving up his rest plan to take the reins, Ben? Parker, Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, Belakta, Kroef, Diaz and others, Ximei, Phil? Jones, Nielsen? The parting of Oliveira, Pivkovsky and others.

With so many things happening this summer, the "Young Guard" has really become a magnet for attracting attention while undergoing great changes.

Leeds United were not in great form in their 4-0 win over Manchester City in their opening game, but their opponents in the Premier League have had to keep an eye on this 'old-fashioned' team.

Even though Shaq is already thirty years old, he is still the most panicked goal machine on the planet!

Even Jonny? Hausen is thirty-two years old and can't run on the pitch anymore, but he's still the spiritual leader of the team!

Even Ben? Parker is also 31 years old, but his defense on the left side is still solid, but the speed of assists is a little slower!

The "Leeds Three Musketeers", who have been reorganized after a lapse of nine years, have become the oldest three veterans in the "Young Guard", and most people think that they will no longer be as brave and unstoppable as they were ten years ago!

However, the "Young Guards" still defeated last season's third-place Manchester City team 4-0 at home!

But Leeds United is still only concerned in the eyes of a real powerhouse, after all, the attacking power of this team in the game is really a bit poor, and the aging "Leeds Three" once beat all opponents in Europe on the left side. But now look at them...... It's really old!

With these three veterans over 30 years old, and then with Lens, Bellagta, Weiser, Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, and Kslov, even if there is Ashley? Hood, Chris? Farley, Murray and others helped, and no one thought they could achieve anything in the new season, at best they were just a more weighty spoiler.

However...... Just ten days later, Leeds United thrashed O'Haim 10-0 at home. The performance of this new Leeds United team is something to be taken seriously.

Even if O'Haim is only a third-tier team in English football, Leeds United's 10 goals still make for a lot of different things.

Although the "Young Guards'" attack on the left flank is still relatively monotonous, it is undeniable that they have been able to tear apart the opponent's defense from this side!

Murray's technique on the right is still a bit rough, but his powerful impact is more than enough to make up for it, and with the fact that he and Shaq seem to be starting to find a rhythm, Leeds United's attacking quality has improved a notch.

Captain Jonny in midfield? Howson, Ashley? It's just that Hood has performed well, but even the 20-year-old French teenager Viser has become a general. Hausen's ability to run has decreased. Ashley? When Hood needs to focus on the team's defense, the Frenchman actually takes on the burden of organizing the team's attack, and he performs quite well, and the fact that "Brutal Simon" coaches young players is admirable.

The most surprising thing, of course, is Shaq's resurrection!

Shaq failed to score in the first round of the new season, which made many people feel that Shaq's return to Leeds as an owner and player this time was indeed affected by many things, and the age of 30 is a watershed for most players. It's normal for form to drop dramatically, even if Shaq, the biggest player in football history, is no exception.

What a thought. In just the second game, Shaq scored eight goals in a row, rewriting his own record for individual goals in a single game in the English League Cup.

Even if O'Haim is a fish belly team, Shaq's performance is still shocking, could it be that the omnipotent Shaq is back!?

By the time he left Barcelona, Shaq's career tally had reached 1,362. And these goals are all official game goals after Shaq's debut, and their gold content is very sufficient, and they have surpassed Pele, Friedrek and others in the morning, although they are not as good as the former "Chinese king" Li Huitang 2000 goals, but he has long been a world-recognized goal record holder. After all, Lee Hui Tang is too old, and he has not scored so many goals in the major European leagues, while Shaq has achieved his own achievements in the Premier League and La Liga, two of the best football leagues in the world.

Although everyone knows that Shaq will never slump after returning to Leeds United, it is still shocking to rush to 1370 goals all of a sudden, is it possible that the old, weak and sick "Young Guard" can continue to write miracles again under the leadership of the aging "Leeds Three Musketeers"!?

Mourinho, who is now in charge of the "Gunners" Arsenal coach, said with a very serious face when interviewed by reporters: "Anyone who dares to despise Simon? Grayson, those who despise Shaq, will eventually pay for it! This is a magical pair of master and apprentice, if we want to complete the feat of defending the title, we must first cross the hurdle of Leeds United, they are not just spoilers, even if the current situation of this team is not very good, but with Simon? Grayson, with Shaq, Leeds United are already our rivals for the title! ”

The young coach who has become the helm of the "Red Devils", the former Belgian international Thomas? Vermaelen also attached great importance to Leeds United: "If Manchester United want to regain the title, they have to beat all their opponents, in the past we only focused on Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle, but now we have to pay more attention to one opponent, which is Leeds United! This is a team that is good at doing miracles! No one would have believed that they could win the league and the Champions League, right? ”

Laudrup, who led the Magpies to a runners-up finish in the league last season, is more cautious when it comes to Leeds United, as they are just around the corner when they visit Elland Road in the second round of the league......

"Simon is the greatest football coach in the world, Shaq is the greatest player in the world, how terrifying it is when they come together. One only has to look at their dominance over the past decade in European football, in world football, and we can't measure them by common sense at all. It's a good thing and a bad thing for us to meet Leeds United at Elland Road so soon, and it's a good thing to meet Leeds United when they haven't been fully trained by Simon! But playing against the new Leeds team when we don't know them very well would make the game uncertain. So we have to give it our all at Elland Road to get away with the three points! ”

The increased interest in the Young Guards in English football, as well as the importance of their opponents on their own teams, have excited Leeds fans, and many of them have already shouted the slogan of "regaining the title", and they feel that this should be the perfect time for the team to challenge for the league title again after 2014.

Shaq and Simon? Grayson's return really boosted the morale of the "Young Guards"!

There are even bookmakers who have readjusted the odds for Leeds United to win the championship, ranking only third after Arsenal and Manchester United, and even surpassing Newcastle and Manchester City, which performed well last season. This is indeed a difficult thing to understand when Leeds United have not invested heavily in transfers, and even made a profit of £25 million in the transfer market...... As far as Leeds United's current squad is concerned, can they compete for the title!?

Leeds United have the quality to compete for the title!?

Of course not!

But are there still fewer miracles created by "Simon the Cruel" and Shaq, a master and apprentice who are like father and son?

At this time...... No one would dare to say that Leeds United really don't have a chance!

If the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" are old and strong, Simon? If Grayson's method of training young players is really against the sky, maybe the "Young Guards" will really have a chance to impact the championship, after all, there are people like Lens and John in this team? Young players such as Allen, Belakta, Wither, Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, and Kroef are really talented young players, and there is a "brutal Simon" to train them. Who can guarantee that they will not be the next Shaq, the next Ashley? Hood?

The second round of the league against Newcastle is fast approaching, and Leeds United have been given another chance to play at home due to the schedule. With 51,510 spectators at Elland Road Stadium in attendance, Leeds fans were eager to see their side beat the likes of Manchester City and Newcastle in a row...... What a chance!

Leeds United's starting lineup did not make any changes, and young players such as Lens, Wither, Du Xiaoguang, Kslov, and Chen Jinlong still got the start. Grayson also had to do it as a last resort. He doesn't have many cards to play.

Under the expectant attention of Leeds fans, the "Young Guards" made a mistake at the beginning of the game!

A fatal mistake!

It seems to have been influenced by the recent popularity of the outside world, only Ben? The Leeds defense, led by a veteran Parker, leaked just eight minutes into the game!

After the 34-year-old Belgian veteran Chadli got the ball at the top of the arc of the big penalty area in the middle, he attracted the defense of Kslov and Du Xiaoguang alone. Parker is eyeing England teammate Alex on the left flank? Chamberlain.

It's Chadley's experience, vision, and calmness. Because his age has reached the highest point that a player can reach, he paused slightly after taking the ball, and then suddenly stuffed the ball behind Du Xiaoguang and Ben? Parker's space in between.

Sturridge, also 34, ran out like a ghost......

"Smack!"

Sturridge took the ball forward and then fired an easy low shot into the bottom right corner of the Leeds United goal from the corner of the six-yard box on the right-hand side!

Argentine goalkeeper Diaz, who was guarding in front of the goal, didn't expect his opponent to be so cunning at all, putting a wide far corner and not playing, but just pushing low and flat into the near corner, and ...... He even let him get his hands on it!

"The ball is in! Sturridge! Ghostly positioning! The 34-year-old Sturridge has shown us what kind of striker is the most fearsome and deadliest, and he only shows up the moment the opportunity presents itself! ”

After the goal, Sturridge laughed and ran to celebrate with his teammates. Parker pouted and his heart was full of taste, this old fellow...... It's really getting older and more demonic!

After eight years at Chelsea, Sturridge moved to the Magpies at the age of 28, and although he didn't score a lot of goals for Newcastle, he has always been in pretty good form, and every now and then he surprises Newcastle fans, as he sees in front of him!

There was some silence in the stadium at Elland Road, and the hearts of Leeds fans were hanging, and Sturridge's goal made them see their own shortcomings. Parker, Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, and Kshlof are really young in this guard line, their experience is really problematic, just now Du Xiaoguang went to guard Chadley is not necessary, there is a Kshloaf can completely limit Chadley's play, but ...... Alas, could it be said that the team used up all their good luck when they beat Manchester City 4-0, and at this time they will face a strong opponent again!? (To be continued......)

PS: PS: Argentina still lost! The fat man always thinks that Xixi is capable, but this time Xixi's performance can only be said to be average, at least compared to the old horse! Sissy has not shown the ability to make the final decision at a critical moment, but what more can we force on? Sissy did her best, after all, there is really only one old horse in this world!
