Elland Road Stadium.

Arsenal had gone 39 league games unbeaten before that.

They were in good form the other day after beating Manchester United 3-1 in the Community Shield.

In addition to maintaining the main squad from last season, the team also brought in Serbian talent Reyes for 35 million euros, and Reyes started this game.

As soon as Leeds United started, they insisted on George Lee's high-pressing style of play, and the frontcourt pressing was very active. And Reyes, who has just joined, has become the focus of attention.

Arsenal grabbed the ball at the back of the pitch and Gilberto combined with Patrick Vieira to get the ball from the feet of Glen Char and was ready to counter-attack, Reyes leaned down the middle to catch the ball.

Gilberto passed the ball to Reyes, and on the right side of Reyes, full-back Lauren had already cut in from the side, Reyes wanted to pass the ball to Lauren and then go forward himself, but when he was about to get up, he saw Ian Hart standing in his passing path on Leeds' side.

Unable to do so on the wing, Reyes began to look for Bergkamp, but he found that Leeds United's Graveson had been sticking to Bergkamp, so he could not pass the ball to the Dutchman.

If he couldn't get the ball out of these two points, then Arsenal's counter-attack couldn't be played, and Reyes saw Davies pressing towards him, so he could only return the ball to Vieira.

Vieira tried to get the ball out to the left, but Smith was on his left foot, and Vieira slammed the ball and passed it to Gilberto, who took the ball and passed it to Reyes.

As soon as Reyes returned to the wing, the ball was at his feet again, and at this time his team-mate Lauren had already retreated because the counterattack had just failed, and Reyes had the ball in front of Leeds United full-back Hart and winger Glen Shire, who rushed towards Reyes one after the other. Reyes knew that Hart was not fast, and wanted to trick Hart's center of gravity through a feint, so that he could accelerate directly past Hart.

But Hart is also an old Jianghu and has not eaten this set. Reyes could only pick up speed, but at this time Glen Charles rushed over and made physical contact with Reyes, Reyes was hit by him like this, fell to the ground without standing firmly, and the ball was stabbed away by the fast-eyed Hart.

Reyes fell to the ground, the referee didn't blow it, and the game continued.

Hart passed the ball directly to Glen Char, Glen Charles faced Lauren, directly tilted his center of gravity to the right and pretended to cut inward, Lauren moved sideways, Glen Charles accelerated to the left, and was pulled down by Lauren when he turned around.

That's when the referee blew the whistle and gave Leeds United a set-piece in front.

Players from both sides gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.

Arsenal thought Reyes had been fouled by Glen Schal, while Leeds said that Lauren had committed a tactical foul and had to be given a card.

The two sides surrounded the referee together, Arsenal here Vieira hit Gravison with the shoulder, Davies immediately rushed over with a few Leeds United players and spewed trash talk with Vieira on his chest.

On the sidelines, Arsene Wenger rushed to the fourth official first and complained to him about his dissatisfaction. George Lee, on the other hand, saw Arsene Wenger arrive first and turned back to his dugout.

"The skills of the Spanish players are still okay, but the confrontation is a little worse." Cruyff Jr. saw him back in the dugout and said to him.

"Maybe it's not used to it, a wide player has speed and skill enough, if the confrontation is still strong, it's like two Henry on the opposite side, what else are we playing."

"What did Wenger say there?"

"How do I know, and I don't like eavesdropping."

George Lee stood up again and beckoned to Mills, who had not gone up to argue, and Mills immediately ran over as soon as he saw that the set-piece had not yet opened.

"Tell those guys on the pitch and give that Spanish striker a little bit of intensity, he's not used to coming to the Premier League. Then the other side is expected to focus on your side for a while, let Thomas lean towards you, and let Edgar pay attention to the defense. ”

"Okay." Mills nodded, and ran up again.

With Hart on set-pieces, the two centre-backs, Matteo and Albucheson, pressed up, so it was Graveson and Mills who stayed behind.

Mills walked up to Graveson and leaned into his ear to repeat what George Lee had just said.

Gravison nodded.

^^^

Hart took a set-piece and the ball was driven into the box and was picked up by the onrushing Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann.

Lehmann took a look around and threw the ball straight to Ashley Cole on the left.

Kerr made a one-two with Gilberto after winning the ball, passing Smith on the top and getting the ball again.

Gravison decisively posted it, and Cole saw Mills in front of him and Gravison on the side, so he handed the ball to Bergkamp in the middle.

Bergkamp turned his back to the ball near the centre circle and tried to turn, but his Dutchman Davies stuck him and kept him unable to turn for a while.

Bergkamp played a return pass to Vieira, who played a through ball straight to the left and the ball went straight past Davies and Gravison to Thierry Henry.

Thierry Henry strode two steps towards Leeds United's penalty area, and at this time Leeds United's defense was left alone with Mills, who had just gone to press Cole and now had returned. Mateo and Albuchesen had just gone up from set-pieces, but before they could come back, Arsenal's counter-attack was too fast.

Henry's steps began to get smaller, and when he saw Mills coming up from the left, he flicked the ball to the right with his right foot and adjusted to hit the goal.

Mills saw it and shoveled it down, hoping to block the ball.

Thierry Henry lifted his foot and fired a shot into the bottom left of the ball to the far corner, which was what Henry did best.

"Bang~" The ball flew towards the bottom right corner of the Leeds United goal, and Paul Robinson had already stretched his body and couldn't reach the ball.

The ball bounced off the ground in front of the goal and rolled towards the goal again.

"Advance, advance." This is an Arsenal fan.

"Don't enter, don't enter, don't enter." This is a Leeds United fan.

Maybe because it's Leeds United's home stadium, God hears more from Leeds fans.

The ball grazed the post and rolled out.

"Whew~" Leeds fans in the audience let out a long breath.

On the coach's side, Wenger was ready to celebrate when he saw Henry's shot, but he felt sorry to see the ball slide past the goal.

And here in the Leeds United coach's box, there is also a commotion, after all, this is the first official Premier League game for most of the Leeds United coaching staff, and when they participated in the Premier League before, they were more involved as players, so Brian Kidd is educating them.

"Don't keep standing up, just let George stand there alone, don't let people think we have three managers in Leeds." Kidd put the agitated Casper and Halandra back in their seats.

"It's really dangerous." Casper was still muttering when he returned to his seat.

"yes." Haaland also responded.

George Lee had just finished shouting to the team to pay special attention to the French striker, and then turned to go back to the dugout to sit down, when Kasper and Haaland bounced out of their seats again.

George Lee quickly turned around and saw Leeds United's right winger Romedal breaking through Arsenal's Pire, cutting inside before Cole, and after taking two steps, he gave the ball to Smith who was inserted in the middle, and Smith shot directly in the face of the incoming ball.

But because he didn't adjust his pace, Smith didn't hit the right spot. The kick was crooked, and it didn't hit with power.

The ball rolled diagonally to the other side, towards Campbell and Van Persie in front of the left.

Everyone didn't expect this result, Campbell and Van Persie were stunned, and then they both went to grab the ball.

Eventually, Van Persie took a quick step and took the ball a little first, passing Campbell's right-hand side.

Van Persie didn't wait for Lehmann to attack, and directly kicked his left foot.

The ball then flew towards the stands behind the Arsenal goal.

Van Persie on the field and George Lee off the field made the same moves, holding their heads in disbelief.

But George Li reacted first, put his hand down, and returned to his seat with several coaches around him.

It was Arsene Wenger just now, and now it's George Lee's turn, and it's a pity that their team has lost a chance to change the score.

"He seems to be too nervous." When Kidd saw George Lee coming back, he said to him.

"Yes."
