Woodgate was not too good at Real Madrid, and just one game established his status at Real Madrid.

Of course, these words are said in reverse.

Just two days before the Leeds United and Arsenal match, on September 22, in his second season in Madrid, Woodgate made his Real Madrid debut.

With 25 minutes to go against Athletic Bilbao, a Athletic Bilbao player crossed from the left and Woodgate headed home his own team with no defenders.

This is not over, Real Madrid finally scored two goals in the subsequent game to overtake the score, but just one minute after the overtake, that is, in the 66th minute of the game, Woodgate received his second yellow card and was sent off because of a tactical foul that he had been rid of.

Although Lee is not yet aware of Woodgate's situation, Leeds United's chief scout, who has been following Woodgate, is ready to get into action after seeing the game.

Discerning Real Madrid fans will not be satisfied with such a performance.

Therefore, the time for Woodgate to return to Elland Road should be advanced.

Back in the game, in the closing stages of the game, Leeds United won a penalty through aggressive running.

Campbell is old after all, although he is a central defender, but after this game, in the face of Leeds United's desperate scramble, he finally couldn't stand it.

Milner, who came on as a substitute for Robin van Persie in the 80th minute, used his speed to shake off Ashley Cole, who is also known for his speed, into the Arsenal penalty area, and then made a feint of a right-footed pass to fool Campbell, who was on the defensive.

Milner actually clasped Campbell with his right foot, and Campbell tripped Milner with an outstretched leg as he turned.

“du~”

The referee awarded the penalty without controversy.

With Robin van Persie off and Smith down, Leeds couldn't think of anyone to take the penalty for a while.

The big brothers on the pitch carried forward their spirits and gave the opportunity to Milner, who created the penalty.

Milner put the ball on the spot and then began to step back, keeping his eyes on the bottom left corner of the goal.

When everyone was on their feet, the referee blew the whistle.

Milner played a trick and was staring at the bottom left corner, but was actually trying to kick a bottom right.

But Milner's free-throw leaning to the left was too bad, allowing Lehmann to see what he meant.

Lehmann fell to the right, touched the ball with his hand and then caught the ball before Milner could come up to shoot.

Leeds United took the best chance of the game and also lost a six-game winning streak.

In the end, Leeds United drew with Arsenal at home.

Each side took one point each.

After the game, Wenger looked at the young manager who shook hands with him, and after more than a season of training, the manager in his early thirties is becoming more and more mature and more difficult to deal with.

Arsene Wenger couldn't help but sigh that the Premier League was about to change.

Since the turn of the millennium, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have long occupied the top three places in the Premier League, Leeds United once and Newcastle United once. However, after the Russian tycoon took over Chelsea, the previous three-legged victory became a four-nation battle.

But in just a few short years, Arsene Wenger feels that Leeds United, who have terrified the Premier League teams, are back, still relying on relentless running and iron-blooded play, but now the team under George Lee is more organised and disciplined.

Last year, it was because of injuries that the late season was not guaranteed, and it fell to 5th in the league, and this season Leeds United has been unstoppable all the way by virtue of the advantage of the schedule.

"Professor, I conceded."

For his seniors, George Li still showed enough respect, took two more steps, and handed his hand up first, and shook hands with him.

"Gentleman, good job."

George Lee called Wenger's nickname, and Wenger responded with George Lee's nickname.

After Leeds United drew at home to Arsenal in the seventh round, Leeds United remained unbeaten.

On 2 October, Leeds drew away to Sunderland thanks to a goal from Robin van Persie.

On October 16, the FIFA virus that all clubs heard did not affect Leeds United, because of the previous rotation mode, Leeds United's main players were rested, and after returning to the club, Leeds United won 2-0 away against Manchester City with a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, continuing to maintain their unbeaten golden body.

On the 18th, Leeds United, who had a day off after the game, flew to Zurich, Switzerland in advance to prepare for the Europa League group stage with Zurich Grasshoppers.

In previous Europa League groups, Leeds United were split into AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, Letekes in Bulgaria, Dnipro in Ukraine and Grasshopper Zurich in Switzerland.

George Li is still very satisfied with this group, mainly not because the teams in the same group are not strong and have a high chance of qualifying. Instead, it was enough for the five teams to play four games in a single round-robin, and Leeds were lucky to draw the match against Dnipro on Elland Road, so that they did not have to travel to Ukraine in November.

In the Champions League and Europa League, teams in the five major leagues are afraid to play in Russia and Ukraine. Ice and snow, if you don't pay attention to it, you will get injured, you don't move, you move too much, frostbite, and colds are all big enemies that affect the team.

Leeds United are back in Europe after three years.

In 2002, Leeds United lost 1-2 at home to Malaga in the second leg of the third round of the Europa League and were eliminated, and Leeds United never appeared in Europe again.

The whole Leeds United team is very serious about returning to the Europa League, with the exception of Robin van Persie, who is wearing a cast and walking on crutches, and the rest of the Leeds United players have come to Switzerland.

That's right, Van Persie is injured again, after scoring five goals in eight league games, Van Persie is injured again.

Without a one-month break, Van Persie will miss four league games, two Europa League group games and one Carabao Cup match.

Smith also joked that he would wear a vest and reveal the words "Robin, you're with us" inside after he scored a goal. For this, he was almost beaten by Van Persie with a cane, but fortunately Smith ran fast, and Van Persie's legs were not good enough to catch up.

The game will start on the 21st, and George Lee led the team to Switzerland three days early to familiarize themselves with the venue. Although Zurich, like most of the UK, has a temperate maritime climate, George Lee is still afraid that something will be different and affect the course of the game.

In a word, Leeds United's first game back in Europe cannot be missed.

"The body is warm, even if it is training, you can't relax and be careless."

George Li kept shouting to the players on the field, it was originally a matter of physical coaches to supervise the warm-up of the players, but today George Li personally supervised the game and let all the players complete it meticulously.

Strength and conditioning coach Colin McGee is at the front of the team, demonstrating every move.

At this time, the players did not have their usual hippie smiles, and just checked into the hotel where they stayed, and after a short rest, they came to the nearby training ground for training in the evening.

Although it was just a simple adaptation training, no one dared to be careless now.

As for other activities in the evening.

George Lee could only tell him.

"Since I've come to Switzerland, I bought a watch last year."
