'Here, and here, you've left too much space for Arsenal and it's easy for the ball to get through. In the dressing room of Leeds United, George Lee said as he drew on the tactical board with a pen.

The rest of the rest of Leeds were drinking water, wiping sweat, but they were all looking at George Lee's tactical board.

'In the first half, we did a good job of pressing Reyes, and in the second half we had to keep it up so that Arsenal's two wings could only play on the left wing. Ian, can you still keep up with him? ”

Lee George George knows that Hart's speed is not his strong suit, so if Hart's fitness fails, there is a risk that he will make a mistake when defending Reyes, which will affect the whole game.

"No problem, I can do it."

"Don't be stubborn, tell me if you can't run."

"Yes, sir."

Because of George Li's tactical requirements, basically the team's players have a lot more runs than last season, so George Li pays special attention to the physical fitness of the players.

'Gilberto went down and that's good news for us, but the new Spaniard isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, and the pass in the first half was a threat.

A group of Leeds United players nodded one after another, after all, Cesc Fabregas came up with a very penetrating through ball, which posed a great threat to Leeds United.

"Give him some confrontation, the ones in the midfield, don't be educated by the children."

Lee George looked at Smith, Gavison and Davis.

“OK。” "Okay, Coach."

Leeds United's midfield trio also responded.

"And then there's the offense, Dennis and Robin, you two, when you see Ashley Cole on the opposite side go up, and you don't come back for a while, pay more attention to appear behind him. Other people can also focus in this direction when passing. Do you understand? ”

Romedale and Robin van Persie also nodded in response.

"Robin, come on. You did well in the first half, don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”

"Okay, Coach." When Van Persie answered, he gasped a little roughly, after all, he used a lot of energy in the first half. And it's a Premier League game for him, so maybe a little bit out of his grip.

"Can you continue?" George Lee cares about his favorite striker.

"Okay."

"Rest well."

George Lee turned around and began to communicate with his coaching staff.

"In the second half, if Van Persie's fitness couldn't keep up, you think I was letting Pederson go up and pushing Smith up front; Or directly change to Oscar. ”

"It's all right, but I'm more inclined to the first one because we're on the back side and we can't guarantee that our attack will be stronger when the Icelanders go up, and Smith's words will be a little more consistent." Brian Kidd said that, after all, Smith has proven himself in the Premier League, while Oscarson has just arrived and needs to be tested.

"You can also get Barker up and solidify the midfield and help Gravesson." Chris Casper also suggested:

"I think so." George Lee said.

George Lee began to turn around and make a gesture with the player pushing forward with both hands, saying.

"At the beginning of the second half, press a little harder, don't be afraid just because it's the defending champions on the other side and take them off guard."

“OK。” Captain Matteo said.

"Let's go, come on for the second half, guys." George Lee motioned for the team to go.

"How?"

Here at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger asked the team doctor about Gilberto's situation as soon as he returned to the dressing room.

"It's not good, I may be out for a while."

"Hey~" Wenger didn't burst into foul mouth, just exhaled.

After listening to Gilberto's situation, he went back to set up the second half tactics for the other players.

I thought that although Leeds United brought in some quality players in the summer, they also took a striker like Viduka, and the team's captain Lucas Radbe retired, there must have been a regression.

However, Leeds United and Arsenal played back and forth in the first half, pressing their backfield fiercely, making Arsenal's fluid attack unable to play, and threatening the team's goal many times, and if it wasn't for the help of the crossbar near the end of the first half, maybe it would have been equalised.

Although Arsenal were 1-0 up, there was a bit of luck in that goal, and Arsene Wenger decided to set up his midfield set-up, not wanting to capsize in the opening game of the new season.

^^^

Elland Road Stadium, the two sides changed places in the second half.

At the beginning, it was Cesc Fabregas who sounded a wake-up call for Leeds United.

Although at half-time, George Lee repeatedly stressed the need to press Fabregas more and strengthen the defense. But it still allowed the Spanish youngster to find an opportunity.

Typical of Arsenal's attack, Patrick Vieira won the ball and crossed to Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard glanced up at the front, and another through ball was stuffed to Bergkamp in front, Bergkamp leaned on Matteo with his back, flicked the ball, and handed it to Henry, who was in front of him, and Henry accelerated past Mateo, and was destroyed by the Leeds United goalkeeper Robinson when he was about to make a single shot.

"Attention, attention, improve concentration."

George Lee kept expressing his dissatisfaction with the team on the sidelines.

Both Gravison and Davis raised their hands to indicate receipt.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, the two sides were still very anxious, and the score was still 1-0.

Here at Arsenal, Reyes on the right is still frozen, with little to show except for one or two breakthroughs.

And Xiaofa here, after a wonderful through after the opening of the second half, was also targeted, the young man suffered a lot in physical confrontation, and several midfielders here at Leeds United frequently bullied him with their bodies.

"Let Oscarson get ready to warm up." George Lee turned back to Kidd and said.

George Lee didn't get up after seeing his team's striker Robin van Persie fall to the ground in a scramble, lying on the ground.

Van Persie was really tired and was knocked to the ground after a physical confrontation with Campbell, and this time he didn't get up right away, but lay on the ground, spread his hands outstretched, and exhaled heavily.

After lying down for half a minute, he got up to see his teammate Oscarson warming up.

"The coach probably wants to replace me." Van Persie thought so.

He got up and was ready to retreat into his own half, after all, Arsenal's back line was also up and he was in an offside position.

Just ran to the middle line.

Suddenly, he saw his teammate Davis and Smith co-op up to snatch the ball from Cesc Fabregas, and he turned around and started to start.

Leeds here after Davies grabbed the ball and played a long diagonal pass directly to the left, Glen Charles shook off Lauren with speed and received the pass on the wing.

Glen Charles picked up the ball and began to stride the ball diagonally towards the penalty area, leaving Arsenal's right-back Lauren far behind.

Seeing Toure coming over to make up for the defense, Glen Charles made a bike with his right foot, and then flicked his left foot to the baseline.

Toure hurried to block and Glen Schal passed an inverted triangle pass with a low flat ball before Toure could reach his outstretched leg and touch it.

Van Persie, who had exhausted his last strength to run halfway across the pitch, got the ball before Campbell and volleyed with his left foot.

Then, because he lost his balance, he fell to the ground and rolled forward twice.

Van Persie was rolling his body, but his eyes were fixed on football.

The ball hit a near corner, and Lehmann didn't completely seal the angle.

“FxxK！”

Seeing the ball hit the post and bounce out, Van Persie slapped the turf of the pitch hard.

"I didn't go in again." He buried his face in the lawn.

"Whew~"

"Ah~~~"

“du~~~”

Van Persie heard the exclamation of the crowd, then the deafening cheers of the fans, followed by a long whistle from the referee.

He rolled over, sat up and saw his teammate Smith celebrating the goal with the fans on the sidelines.

The rest of his teammates were running towards Smith and joining in the celebration.

Van Persie remembered and ran over to celebrate with them, but he really didn't have the strength to do it, and the running and hitting the door just now used up the last of his strength.

He just sat there, looked at the big screen, and saw the attack just now.

It was Glen Schal's breakaway, a cross, then his own shot, then the ball hit the post and finally the ball bounced near the six-yard line in the middle of the goal, where Smith stepped in to shoot into the empty net.

After watching the replay, Van Persie couldn't get up, so he could only sit on the grass and applaud and clap his hands.

That's when Davis came over and reached out and pulled Van Persie up.

"Boy, that's good." Davies and Van Persie said.

"Thank you."

Van Persie took a few slow steps after being pulled up.

At this point, several of his other teammates finished celebrating, with Smith running towards Van Persie and the two high-fived.

"Next time you go to the bar, please." Van Persie smiled at Smith.

"Well, you can go down and rest."

Hearing what Smith said, Van Persie looked to the sidelines, Leeds United made a substitution here, and there were two Leeds United players standing on the sidelines, first No. 4 Mathieson replaced No. 3 Hart.

Hart was actually very tired today, and his defense of Reyes was quite good, so the Leeds United crowd applauded Hart at the end of the game.

After Hart went down, the fourth official raised his card again, and instead of replacing Oscarson on George Lee's side, he replaced Van Persie with Eric Barker, and it looked like he was going to strengthen the defense.

Van Persie waved to the fans as he walked to the touchline.

At this time, the crowd and the cries were even higher, although the Dutch striker who arrived at the beginning of the day did not score, but his active running and hard fighting made the fans satisfied.

“NICE！” George Lee hugs Van Persie on the sidelines.

"Find some clothes to wear and watch out for the cold." Kidd said to Van Persie after he returned to his seat.

After Van Persie put on his clothes, he saw someone next to him handing him a bottle of water, and he glanced at it, it was Oscarson.

"Thank you."

Leeds equalised, so the Icelander didn't need to play after the warm-up, but he didn't look unhappy at all, and after giving Van Persie water, he continued to watch the game with his chin on his hands.
