Elland Road Stadium, the 17th round of the 04-05 Premier League, the weather is fine.

George Li looked at the sun hanging in the sky one day, was in a good mood, and then said to his assistant.

"You see, I'm going to buy some Dutch players, there's no problem with the Nordic players, the team still needs some of their own people, right?" George Li glanced at the lineup on the opposite side and said casually.

", you're British, you've been playing in the Netherlands for two years, pretending to be something." Jordi Cruyff said right away.

George Lee ignored him and continued.

"You see the old man has cultivated our group, Wenger has brought in French players such as Henry, Vieira, and Pire, and Mourinho has bought Portuguese players such as Ferreira and Carvalho."

"Have you figured out how to target the Spanish midfielder?"

Xavi Alonso, who was warming up on the pitch, sent the ball firmly to the feet of Gerrard in the distance.

Because Louis Garcia was unable to play due to injury here in Liverpool today, Cruyff Jr's words were clearly asking George Lee how to target Alonso.

"Look, it's better against him than it is against Gerrard." George Lee turned around and called Alan Smith and Robin van Persie, who were warming up not far away.

It can't be said that it is a nightclub duo now, because under the leadership of these two people, Leeds United's nightclub team has grown stronger and stronger, and Davis and Glen Shire are already regular nightclubs in Leeds City.

The other small group is the gambling group headed by Gravinson, and the main members are Hart and Mills.

George Li doesn't care much, as long as you don't affect the game and training, young people can play as much as they want, as long as they don't cause trouble.

On one occasion, Van Persie went to a nightclub with Smith the night before and was late for training the next day. George Lee hadn't spoken to Van Persie for a week, and the game tactics were all relayed by Casper.

Van Persie is also self-aware, honest for a week, and hugged George Lee like a licking dog after scoring a goal in the game, and George Lee forgave Van Persie with a smile.

In short, no one was ever late for personal reasons afterwards.

There are a lot of young people in the team, and it's normal to have a lot of energy that can't be vented.

The coach gives the players face, and the players can also carry it clearly.

If this kind of thing happened to another team, if it wasn't for the main team of the team, it is estimated that it would have been put into the cold long ago.

On the sidelines of the court, Smith and Van Persie were called to the side by George Li, who whispered some details about the two of them.

Van Persie kept nodding, but Smith was first surprised, and then looked at George Lee, a little overwhelmed.

George Lee raised his voice again and continued to talk to Smith.

"Go up with Robin...... Two centre-backs...... Pay attention to the ...... behind you I'll let Edgar watch him......"

Here in Liverpool, affected by injuries, many of the team's main players are unable to play.

Dudek, Finnan and Luis Garcia are all injured.

Compared with the midfield, Liverpool's front field is the hardest hit.

Baroshe, the Golden Boot of the European Championship this summer, was injured and could not play, and French striker Gibriel Cisse was kicked from behind against Blackburn Rovers in the league against Blackburn Rovers at the end of October and suffered a serious injury to his left foot, and it is estimated that he will miss most of the season.

Liverpool's starting strikers today are Bangele, Mailer and Colwill.

Australian Harry Colwill is a Leeds veteran who came to Leeds for trial at the age of 15 and made his debut for Leeds United at the age of 17. During his eight years at Leeds United, he made 182 appearances and scored 46 goals.

In the summer of 2003, due to Leeds United's financial crisis, Colwill was sold to Liverpool for 10 million euros.

It's an acquaintance again, George Li chatted with Cowell after the warm-up on the sidelines for a while, and he really sighed that things are wrong.

Lee Bowyer, Harry Colwill and Nigel Martin are all still working in the Premier League and are already managers themselves, while their team-mates Gary Kelly, Ian Hart and Alan Smith all play under their own accounts.

Back on the pitch, after the players have warmed up, go back to the locker room to rest, and then start the entrance.

First Liverpool kick-off.

Here in Liverpool today, goalkeeper Cochran started the line-up, and the backline was Reese, Carragher, Hyypia, and Josemi, who started in place of the injured Finnen.

Liverpool youngster Mailer kicked off and then passed back to Hamann, who in turn passed back to Carragher.

Carragher handed the ball to Hyypia next to him.

Hyypia glanced ahead and looked for Alonso.

Xavi Alonso has great vision, excellent ball control, is adept at long balls from mid to long distance, and can score from distance. As Alonso gradually adapted to the Premier League environment, his precise long passing skills and keen touch quickly became the heart of Liverpool's tactics.

Coupled with the tactical tilt of fellow countryman Benitez, although Gerrard is the captain and spiritual leader of the team, Alonso is actually the tactical core of Liverpool.

Hyypia was ready to get the ball to Alonso, but that's when Robin van Persie appeared in his pass.

Van Persie did not keep pressing the opposing central defenders like Leeds United did in the previous games, but slowly approached Hyypia, constantly looking back at Alonso's position as he moved, and always kept on the route of Hyypia's pass to Alonso.

Hyypia had no choice but to give the ball to Carragher again.

Carragher was also ready to pass to Alonso, but again, Smith was on his passing path and was clearly positioned earlier today, joining Robin van Persie to block the way of Liverpool's two centre-backs towards midfield.

Smith not only blocked, but also gradually got closer to Carragher, which made Carragher's pass to Alonso less and less angled.

There was no way, Carragher could only pass the ball to Josemi on the right.

Josemi took two steps and spotted a figure when he saw Smith and Glenshire approaching.

It's Xavi Alonso.

Alonso ran from the middle to the right to meet Josemi.

Josemi then passed the ball to Alonso.

Alonso took the ball with his back and tried to turn around, but when he tried to turn, he found that his left back was stuck.

Davies got stuck to Alonso's left, who could only turn to the right and pick up the ball with his left foot.

The left foot is not his good foot, so he can't get the ball out very comfortably, so he can only play the ball to Hamann on the side.

Haman then gave the Norwegian Riser to the left.

Because although Liverpool is a 433 formation today, Colwill, who plays as a left midfielder, will often lean in the middle and give up the left side to Reese, and the task given to Reese today is to do a good job of defense and actively insert at the same time, so Reese's position will be a little higher than that of right fullback Josemi.

As soon as Reese got the ball, Leeds immediately grabbed two more people here, with Mills and Romerdal eyeing Reese and gradually approaching him.

Reese tried to make a transition for Steven Gerrard in midfield, but the pass was cut off by Gravesson.

This is the end of Liverpool's first run-up of the game.

Gravison was not in a hurry to attack after receiving the ball, and passed the ball directly back to goalkeeper Robinson.

Leeds' two centre-backs stood a little apart, with Robinson on the ball on his hands and Mathieson and Albchesten, left and right, waiting for Gavison to return to the middle.

After the previous rounds, Schmeichel's training, and Lee's tactical needs. Robinson is now significantly more forward than before when he is passing in the backcourt, which makes the team's backcourt play more calmly.

The two full-backs could move forward as their previous area was occupied by two centre-backs.

After Robinson had two passes back and forth between Gravison and Mathieson, the ball was back at Robinson's feet.

He drove the ball to the other side with a big kick and Mills picked it up close to the halfway line.

Because Colwill is standing in the middle, Liverpool only has one on the left wing, and Reese is staring at Romedahl, so this ball is very easy for Mills to pick up.

Mills gave the ball sideways to the retreating Smith, who turned and saw Gerrard.

Because this season, George Lee used Smith in a much similar way to Mourinho to Frank Lampard and Benitez to Gerrard, so Smith is often compared to the two by the media.

Smith is also a strong person, and since the media has said so, he wants to fight Gerrard.

Smith dunked the ball and tried to pass Gerrard, and it was a smash after the dunk.

Who knew that the ball went too big, lost possession and rolled to Alonso's feet.

Alonso pulls the ball and keeps it at his feet.

Then I look up and see where my teammates are on the field.

Who knew that the teammates in front of him didn't see it, and they saw Smith and Davis menacingly.

Then he didn't dare to go forward, and once again gave the ball to his team-mate behind him, the team's central defender, Hyypia.

Then, as at the beginning of the kick-off, Van Persie controlled the line where Hyypia played the ball to Alonso.

And Smith, who was still besieging Alonso with Davies just now, immediately ran over and accelerated on the route between Carragher and Alonso.

And Davies stands between Gerrard and Hamann, no matter which one of Liverpool's midfielders gives the ball, he can go up and press at the first time.

The reason why I didn't bother with Alonso was because Graveson came up and was sticking to Alonso.

Liverpool's striker today is Neil Mailer, a typical power-oriented English centre-forward. So Albucheson has always been close to him, and Mathieson has always been near Colwill. So today Albchestenson and Mathieson switched positions, with Mathieson playing right centre-back and Albucchesen playing left centre-back.

George Lee knows Colwill, teammates for two years, and they know each other well. In his early years, Colwill was extremely fast and had a strong ability to break through individually, but later due to injury, this link declined, but he can still create a threat for the team with passes and crosses.

George Lee didn't dare to be careless, and let the relatively fast Mattieson keep an eye on Colwell.

He is now telling his assistants about his tactics off the field.

"Compare Liverpool's centre-back with the ball to a light source, then Van Persie and Smith appear on the line where they pass the ball to Alonso, Alonso can only see Van Persie's shadow, and then let Van Persie gradually get closer to the light source, then Alonso will see the shadow bigger and bigger, which makes it more difficult for Alonso to receive the ball......"

Chris Casper listened to George Lee's story, looked up at the sun, maybe a little dazzling, and put his hand in front of his forehead.

"What are you doing?" George Lee was curious about his movements.

"The sun is quite big today, no wonder the shadow is so long." Casper said.

"Haven't you read a book? The length of the shadow is related to the angle of the sun. Strength and conditioning coach Colin McGee spat at Casper.

Benitez on the other side also spotted the problem after watching the game for more than ten minutes, and he looked to the side of the Leeds United dugout.
