0039 One goal
Elland Road Stadium, East Stand.
Helen Black, who was about to join Leeds United's medical team after Christmas, looked at the female fan next to her, who was a little younger than herself.
"Are you a Leeds United fan?"
It's no wonder that Helen asked, because the girl next to her, who was about her age, was wearing a Leeds United long-sleeved jersey with a down jacket on the outside, but she sat there quietly in the first half. Leeds United shot and didn't applaud or exclaim together, just watched the players on the pitch run around.
"Ah...... Yes, I am...... It's a Leeds United fan. Wendy said timidly.
"Was it someone else's ticket?"
"Yes, yes."
Of course, the ticket was given by George Lee, and a few days ago George Lee's good brother Mike called and said that a beautiful young lady had sent a suit and said that he would return it to George Lee.
George Lee went to Michael and saw that Wendy and her agent were waiting for him at Mike Lee's house, Wendy returned the suit to Lee, and the agent kept thanking George Lee for taking care of Wendy at the party that day.
George Lee glanced at Michael Lee next to him and knew that this scene was made by Michael and Wendy's agent.
The two pimps are still thinking about asking George Lee to take Wendy out on a date.
George Lee pushed it off on the spot on the grounds of work, but out of politeness, George Lee gave Wendy two home tickets to Leeds United.
Who knows, Wendy really came to see it, and of course it could be the agent's arrangement.
Two tickets, Wendy gave one to Hazel, and the result was that Hazel released Wendy's pigeons, and Wendy came to Elland Road Stadium alone to watch the game.
'You're coming for the first time, Leeds fans can't do that. And it's too dangerous for a girl to watch the ball alone, and no one accompanies you? ”
"No, I usually live at my uncle's house."
There is another sentence that Wendy didn't say, her uncle's family is all Sheffield United fans.
"Hey, Mike!" Helen shouted ahead.
A strong man in front of him turned his head and looked at Helen.
Wendy was startled when she saw the strong man turn around.
After all, in this winter, he is still shirtless, and his arms are full of tattoos, which is scary to look at.
"New here, watch the game for the first time, take care of it in the future, don't be bullied." Helen pointed at Wendy.
The strong man glanced at Wendy and asked Helen.
"Okay, the ticket? Also sent by George? ”
Then Mike turned around and began to talk to himself.
"There's no reason, the two girlfriends don't sit down a little bit......"
Helen didn't pay attention to Mike anymore, but said to Wendy.
"Did you really get your ticket from Coach George?"
"Yes......" Wendy nodded.
"Since he sent it, and you are a girl watching the game alone, I should take care of you if you find a reason. However, there may not be a chance, and I may have to watch the game in a different place in the future, and I will not be in the stands. ”
"Where else?" Wendy asked.
"Below." Helen pointed to the Leeds United dugout.
Players from both sides began to enter the field one after another, and the stands began to cheer and scream again.
"Come along." Helen took Wendy with her, "You can't watch the game too quietly, I haven't asked you what your name is, my name is Helen." ”
"Wendy." Wendy stood up and waved her hand symbolically, a little bit uncontrollable.
"When I watch the game in the future and encounter difficulties, I will find the fat man who has no clothes just now, he is the head of the fans."
Wendy was eager to tell Helen, so George Lee gave her a ticket.

In the second half, Leeds United kicked off.
Shortly after Leeds kicked off, the ball was grabbed by Liverpool after half-time and passed a few times at the back before reaching Alonso's feet.
Xavi Alonso took the ball and this time he found it less difficult to get the ball, unlike in the first half, when the ball barely reached his feet.
Then he looked for his teammates in front of him. I saw that Harman and Gerrard were surrounded by people, and Colwill was also close to Mills not far away.
After a little hesitation, he was hit by Glen Shire.
But the ball wasn't conceded, and Alonso stumbled and kept the ball at his feet.
But suddenly there was another man in a white jersey in front of him, blocking the way. It's Romedal.
Leeds United's two wingers both came from the flanks and pressed in the middle.
The ball was eventually snatched up by Romedahl, who immediately launched a counterattack after snatching it.
Passed the ball to Glen Char, who was also in the middle.
Glen Charles sped straight up and faced Carragher, wanting to pass him straight by.
As a result, Carragher was taken away by Glen Shire, and Hyypia stared at Van Persie.
The central portal was wide open and Romedal was allowed to run off the ball in front of goal.
Glenschal tried to play the ball straight to Romedahl, but the ball was touched by Carragher and did not go directly to the feet of Romedahl and rolled towards the goal.
Kirkland came out and Romerdal went after the ball.
In the end, the two men touched the ball almost at the same time.
Kirkland held the ball in his hands while Romerdal was tripped by Kirkland and rolled on the turf.
"Penalty!" The Leeds United player called out.
But the referee signaled the game to continue.
Kirkland tossed the ball to Reese, who was about to dribble and was pulled down by Smith.
Tactical fouls.
Then the Leeds United players began to besiege the referee.
Leeds United fans' favourite session began, with fans starting to cooperate with the players and press past the referee.
"Shh~" The audience booed.
"Come along." Helen arched Wendy.
"Ah, what?" Wendy was a little at a loss.
"Heckle, heckle the referee."
"Oooh."

Leeds continued to dominate the game, with Liverpool relying on set-pieces and long-range shots to create a threat, but they were all cleared up.
Leeds United were the first to break the deadlock.
On 69 minutes of the game, Robin van Persie scored.
Leeds won the ball at the back and counter-attacked, with Davies and Graveson tackling the ball at Gerrard's feet.
Davis gave the ball to Smith, who split it directly.
Van Persie and Romedal switched positions and appeared on the right flank.
Van Persie cut inside with the ball, flicked his left foot, and started to bring the ball to the left, and Riser clung to it, not daring to be careless.
Leeds United's running played a big role at this time.
Rojmedal, who switched places with Robin van Persie, took Carragher with him, and when Smith ran towards the box, he took Hamann from the back and brought him into the box.
So Van Persie is comfortable with the in-cut.
Van Persie performed one of the tricks that his fellow Robben did best, cutting inside and hitting the goal.
In the corner on the right side of the penalty area, a series of feints were shot, and Reese didn't eat.
Van Persie then took the ball further to the left and continued to pretend to hit the goal.
This time Reese ate the feint, thinking Van Persie was really going to hit the door.
Ritser flew up to block the shot, but Van Persie tricked him.
Took a step to the left again, and this time no one interfered.
Van Persie runs, stands on his right leg, swings his left leg and then kicks the bottom right of the ball with the inside of his left foot.
The ball spun and flew into the top left corner of the goal.
It was too late for Kirkland to move and save.
The rest of Liverpool could only watch as the ball flew into the goal.
1 to 0.
Leeds finally broke the deadlock halfway through the second half.
Helen, who was in the stands, hugged Wendy.
"In! Entered! ”
Wendy is also infected by Helen and sings and dances with Helen.
“Here we go with Leeds United”
“We're gonna give the boys a hand”
“Stand up and sing for Leeds United”
“They are the greatest in the land,Everyday, we're all gonna say we love you Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!”
“Everywhere, we're gonna be there, We love you Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!”
The home fans began singing Leeds United's duet "Marching on Together"
"Wendy, can you sing?"
"Yes."
"Come, sing along."
The two began singing "Marching on Together" along with other Leeds United fans
George Lee, who was on the sidelines, saw the goal and swung his fist hard.
"Steady."
George Lee said to several of his assistants.
"You're so confident?" Brian Kidd said:
"It's not that I'm confident, it's that Liverpool are in a dilemma right now." Lee began to explain to him.
"It's better to be careful."
'Benitez has to worry about me attacking if he wants to attack, because we strangled Xavi Alonso today and he has no other attacking starting point.
George Lee can say this, but he still has to thank Liverpool for a large number of major injuries.
Especially the absence of Luis Garcia.
At Liverpool, Garcia is certainly an outlier. Benitez's pragmatism should not have been such a player full of variables.
But Garcia can play in a number of positions on the pitch, playing both wide and as a more backward striker. Unconstrained by his position, he is often able to use his skillful skills to seize the small holes of his opponents and launch attacks quickly. Although there have been criticisms of his complex movements, which sometimes make some simple things too cumbersome. However, his intricate technical movements on the court are also a weapon for him, which often makes his opponents unpredictable.
Originally, if Luis Garcia was on the field, he could match with Colwill, both of them are the kind of players who can be on the side and in the middle, and Benitez has a lot of attacking options.
But now there is only one Colwill, and he is still limited by Leeds United, and he has not played very well on the wing and in the middle, who makes Leeds United too familiar with Colwill, and Colwill's peak is spent at Leeds United.
"Their European Championship Golden Boot, it doesn't seem to be doing well this season." Cruyff Jr. mentions Barosh.
"Benitez doesn't like Baros, in the Spaniards' tactical system, Baroshe's technical characteristics and style are not Benitez's appetite, the Spaniards like the kind of striker who has speed, body, and can take chances, but Baros seems to leave all the goals in the national team, and when he returns to the club, he won't score goals, and he has become a waste king."
George Lee summed up two problems for Liverpool in advance, seemingly celebrating the victory in advance.
Liverpool had nothing to do with Leeds United defence in the second half, except for Steven Gerrard's long-range shot that went over the crossbar and a youngster Mailer hit the post from a corner.
Or rather, their own offense was too bad.
In fact, Leeds United also thundered loudly and rained little in the second half, and although they took the initiative after 1-0, there were no good opportunities to score.
Later, as George Lee said, Leeds United won 1-0 at home.
