Stamford Bridge, home dressing room.

Jose Mourinho started talking tactics to Robben and Duff.

'Their left wing-back is a weak point, whether it's Hart who could come back or Mathieson who could replace him, speed is not their strong point, so focus on attacking this left flank.

"Beat him with speed and don't give them a chance to breathe."

"You have to be quick on the counter-attack, go straight to the ball and find two wings, or find Gudjohnsen."

Chelsea continued to line up 433 for this game.

The goalkeeper is still Cech, and the Czech has been consistent since arriving at Chelsea, working well with the backline, conceding only three goals in the first 12 games of the Premier League.

From left to right, the backline is Barbaroa, John Terry, Carvalho and Pacos Ferreira.

In midfield were Claude Makelele, Thiago and Frank Lampard.

The three fronts are Arjen Robben, Duff and Gudjohnsen.

Especially after Arjen Robben and Duff returned from injury, Chelsea got rid of the 1-0 problem, and it's not like you can't score my goal anyway, I just have to steal a chicken from you.

And Gudjohnsen also relied on his brave play to firmly press Drogba on the bench. In the round of 10 at home to Blackburn, the Icelander scored a hat-trick. There was also a goal against West Bromwich Albion in the last round.

"In midfield, we still have to limit the back-to-back of Alan Smith, who shares Frank's characteristics and likes to play back. This season, Lee has been doing well after dropping his position. But there is one thing that is different from Frank, he has to cut in and like to get into the box, even including heading for points. So our two centre-backs don't want to be taken away by their strikers. ”

Terry and Carvalho nodded.

'Be careful with the ball, they don't counter-attack like we do, we usually start at the back. And they press very fiercely in the frontcourt, so their counter-attacks will generally start from the moment they get the ball in the front court, and they must hit the attention. The teams ahead have already suffered. ”

"Frank, you play for the second spot when you attack, and you hit the goal when you have the chance."

"Yes, sir." Lampard replied crisply.

Mourinho finally said to Makelele.

"Crowder, stand in midfield for me, fill in the position quickly. If you find something missing, you must make it up quickly. ”

Mourinho said a lot in one breath, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he finished speaking.

His assistant Boas handed him a bottle of water.

"No, I didn't take Liverpool so seriously before."

"Liverpool? In my opinion, Benitez is not as difficult to deal with as this little fox. ”

Villas-Boas looked at Mourinho, his brother had obviously had more gray hair since he came to England.

Although he is still so wild and uninhibited on the surface, in private Boas knows how much pressure Mourinho is on.

Mourinho took another sip of water and said it again.

"You see, apart from Manchester United and Arsenal, Leeds United will be our biggest rival in the next few seasons."

Without waiting for Villas-Boas to say anything, Mourinho began to urge his players to go out and warm up.

On the other side, the away team dressing room.

George Li is also making pre-war deployments, but he is a little light, and he doesn't have the sad look he had a few days ago.

"Our two wings will definitely receive a big impact today, so Leyton and Gary, you two don't have to press too much today."

Leeds' two full-backs today are Bynes and Kelly, with Mills unavailable today due to injury.

The cause of the injury is also peculiar, because he was scratched by a razor while repairing his bald head in the barbershop. It is said that the barber was dozing off at the time and accidentally injured Mills' scalp.

After learning the news, George Lee also asked Mills if the barber was from London or a Chelsea fan.

The other teammates on the team were also very speechless when they learned the news, and Graveison specially called to ask where Mills's barbershop was, not to take his brothers to smash the shop, but to think that he himself was bald and wanted to avoid lightning.

"Martin, watch the strikers on the other side, whether it's Gudjohnsen or Drogba who starts, if you're as soft as Carlton Kerr in the last game, I'll start Kevin or Matthew next time."

Kevin Dawson is the older brother of Nottingham Forest's Michael Dawson, and they are three brothers, but the most famous is his younger brother Michael Dawson, who Leeds United brought in from Stterfield this summer.

And Matthew Kilgalen is Leeds United's own academy product, dubbed the 'new Woodgate'.

The two are ranked behind Matteo, Mathieson and Albuchesen, and are substitutes for the team and do not play much.

'Edgar, today you're playing on the left side of the midfield, you're going to help Leyton a little bit more, and you're definitely going to be the focus of Chelsea's attack.'

In this game, Leeds United's midfield triangle was broken up, and the starting three were Graveson, Smith and Barker, and Davies was put down the left by George Lee.

Because I asked Romedal to try the left side before, and it didn't work so well. And today is facing Chelsea again, George Lee had to strengthen the defense, so he simply let Davies go to the left wing, the position is a bit asymmetrical with Romedahl on the right, Davies's position is more backward, not a left winger, can only be regarded as a left winger.

Braten and Pedersen, who had tried before, did not start because of insufficient defensive intensity.

The lone striker is still Robin van Persie.

Van Persie's performances have gradually stabilized after a period of early season struggles, and all stats are rising, which can be said to fully meet the needs of the Premier League's powerhouses.

However, George Lee also found some other problems with the team, such as the lack of depth in the squad, and after the team had a number of injuries, Lee found that his lineup was also a little stretched. He finally got to know the feeling that no one was available to the old man in Ferguson in the previous stage.

"Warm up, warm up."

Assistant coach Brian Kidd opened the door and urged his players to go out and warm up.

'Chelsea's side has started to warm up, so you guys hurry up and go, quick, quick, quick.'

Kidd glanced at George Lee and smiled slightly.

George Lee smiled when he saw Kidd smiling at him, and he thought of what Kidd and Gretel had said to him the other day when they had come to him.

^^^

"Know Brian Clough?" Gray said.

"The one who was hailed by the media as one of the greatest coaches in the history of English football."

"He coached Leeds United before he went to Nottingham Forest, so guess how many days he stayed before he was out?"

"George, you know what, he stayed for 44 days and left."

"Then he went to the forest and won two Champions Leagues."

In the 1978-1979 season, Nottingham Forest made their first appearance in the European Champions Cup, defeating Liverpool, Cologne and other strong teams all the way to the final, and finally defeated Malmo 1-0 with a goal from Francis, winning the Champions League for the first time in history.

In the 1979-1980 season, Nottingham Forest, who participated in the Champions League again, beat four teams, including Ajax, and reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive season. In the final, Forest scored the crucial goal in the 20th minute, and it was with this only goal that Forest defeated Hamburg 1-0 to successfully defend the Champions League title.

"But you know, it's such a great coach, he's only been manager at Leeds United for 44 days and he's gone."

"He looked down on me, saying that I was a steed that Dee Gray had been shot and wounded a long time ago."

"He's a coach who has won the European championship, but in my opinion he's not as good as Don Rivy."

"We've also been in the Champions League final at Leeds, right, George, but we lost to Bayern Munich for some special reasons."

"That Portuguese is nothing great, you don't have to compare with him, didn't you win a Champions League."

"The manager who has won two Champions Leagues, we Leeds United can't look down on it, are we afraid of this one who has won one?"

"We're going to win the Champions League, right, George."

"With you, we'll win the Champions League, George."

Finally, with the encouragement and influence of the two old men, George Li abandoned his distracting thoughts and did not take the game with Chelsea and Mourinho very seriously.

Of course, George Li also set a small goal for himself.

That is, to lead Leeds United to a European title.
