Zurich, Hadtham Stadium.

Leeds United players are warming up on the pitch, while the home team, the Zurich Grasshoppers, are yet to come out.

George Lee was chatting with some Leeds fans behind the bench.

"This stadium ...... Oh oh, it turned out ......"

"I plan to start construction in '07, right......"

"We ...... Definitely going to win......"

As we chatted, the Zurich Grasshopper players warmed up in their home shirts.

George Lee is back in the dugout.

Brian Kidd, who was on the side, arched George Lee and asked him what they were talking to the fans.

Then George Lee told him with a smile.

"Brian, you know, there are a couple of fans who support us in the back who aren't actually our Leeds United fans."

"Whose fans, if it's grasshopper fans, they blend in with our Leeds United fans and they're going to be beaten to death by Mike."

Mike is the head of a die-hard Leeds United fan and flew from England to Switzerland to cheer on Leeds United.

"You don't know, they're FC Zurich fans, and they're here to cheer on their rivals in the same city."

"It seems that the derby between these two clubs should be very exciting."

"They told me an interesting story, do you want to know?"

"Tell me about it."

At this time, several other coaches gathered around, and when they heard their conversation, they all wanted to know what Li had just chatted about.

George Li saw that everyone was around, and he no longer aroused their curiosity, so he began to speak.

In anticipation of the 2008 European Championships, which were co-hosted by Switzerland and Austria, the government decided to modernise the Hardham Stadium, the home of the Grasshoppers in Zurich. In the coming years, the Zurich Grasshoppers will temporarily move to Letitz Stadium, the home of Zurich FC, before tearing down the Hardham Stadium for reconstruction.

But the redevelopment project, which was approved the year before, is now likely to be delayed due to local laws and opposition from residents, while the demolition of Hardham Stadium is in the process of being processed.

"Sounds a little complicated." Chris Casper doesn't seem to get it.

"It sounds a bit like the San Siro Stadium shared by AC Milan and Inter Milan." It was Edwin van der Sar who spoke, the Dutch goalkeeper was not ready to start today because of a finger injury, and George Lee was ready to make Scott Carson a rare start today.

Van der Sar has played for Juventus before, so he knows Milan's stadium better.

"Yes, AC Milan call it San Siro, Inter Milan call it Meazza."

It was Edgar Davis, who had just warmed up nearby, saw the coaches get together, ran over the class to see what was going on, and then heard what they were chatting about.

Davies spent two seasons at AC Milan.

"It's like Old Trafford is going to be remodeled, Manchester United is going to be like we share Elland Road." George Lee drew an analogy to his own team.

"Then why don't they use the Manchester City Stadium and come so far to Elland Road?" Casper's brain circuits seem to be different from others, and his focus is different.

"Scattered, scattered, warm up when it's time to warm up." George Lee drove all the gathered people away and went to see the players on the opposite side of the Zurich Grasshopper.

Lee had watched some of the Zurich Grasshopper game videos given by Casper and Walsh before, most of which were Swiss domestic league game videos, and it still looked a bit different from the current Leeds United.

And the ensuing match also confirmed Lee's opinion.

Leeds were in a first-half attack, with Robin van Persie unable to play due to injury, but his good brother Alan Smith played boldly, scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes with an overhead kick.

In the 7th minute, Smith received a cross from Romerdal in front of the penalty area, and after a feint shot deceived a defender, he shot again to break the Zurich Grasshopper's goal, giving Leeds United's Europa League journey a good start.

After the goal, Smith lifted his jersey and put it over his head, leaking out of the tank top.

Van Persie, who was watching live TV in the UK, threw away his crutches, jumped in front of the TV with one foot, and watched Smith carefully on the TV.

It turned out that the angry Van Persie almost broke the plaster.

Smith's vest was blank, and nothing was written.

And even more excessively, Smith knew that Van Persie was watching the live broadcast, and after celebrating with his teammates, he grabbed the camera and pointed it at himself, and then stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

"Angry? Angry or not? ”

Van Persie looked at Smith's lip shape on TV and could already guess what he was talking about.

In the 14th minute of the game, Leeds United made a comeback, and it was Romedal who ate the opposite full-back and passed to the back post near the bottom line in the penalty area.

Smith was a smart runner and ran to the back post when he saw Kevin Davis go to the front post to grab the goalkeeper.

And Romedahl is also very clever in passing, just going backwards.

Smith jumped high and pressed the Grasshopper defender to head the ball in.

After the goal, Smith once again lifted his jersey and ran to the camera.

After Van Persie's gnashing of teeth, Smith held out two more fingers to the camera.

After that, although the grasshoppers fighting at home wanted to fight back, the ball just couldn't come out, and the ball was usually cut off by Leeds United near the midfield.

When a Leeds United attack was unsuccessful and a corner was awarded. Instead of getting involved in the corner, Mills, who remained in his own half, saw goalkeeper Carson suddenly run behind him.

"What are you doing here?" Mills asked Carson.

"I've received a few passes from you, and I've been staying behind to blow the wind, and I'm cold, I'm out for a run."

After saying that, I saw my team's here, Hart's corner kick was headed into the goal by Mathieson at the front point.

"Ah~, it's in again." "Good shot!"

Carson jumped on Mills, although Mills was also 1.8 meters, but Carson was 10 centimeters taller than him and almost didn't hold it.

Carson started running towards goal after hugging Mills.

Because counting the start of the game, the grasshoppers are going to tee off for the fourth time, and everyone has to get back in position.

"I'm so angry, I just came out for an event, and I'm going back again." Carson scolded as he ran.

In the first half, Leeds United led the Grasshoppers 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Smith and Mathieson.

As George Lee walked back to the dressing room, he saw the two Zurich FC fans who were pretending to be Leeds United fans, and then began to think about something else.

Back in the locker room, George Lee also said a few words casually, because in the first half, the grasshoppers really had no ability to deal with Leeds United's high-pressing play.

After saying that, George Lee continued to think about the redevelopment of the Hardham Stadium in Zurich.

"Brother, come here." George Lee called a club worker.

"Coach, what do you command?"

"Is the chairman watching the game upstairs?"

Leeds United returned to Europe for the first game, with chairman Michael Lee and general manager Tony Wilson also coming to Switzerland to watch the game.

"Yes."

"In a moment, you can help me ask him if there is a large open space on the southwest side of our Eland Road Stadium, all the way along Eland Road."

^^^

In the second half, Leeds continued to chase after the grasshoppers, but they were a little less lucky, attacking for 45 minutes and hitting a dozen shots on goal, except for Kevin Davies, who scored a goal through a stoppage.

4-0, Leeds United kept a clean sheet against the Zurich Grasshoppers, who didn't even have a shot on goal.

Carson, who rarely got the chance to start, I don't know if he will have a runny nose because of the wind blowing on the field today.

Everyone happily returned to the dressing room to celebrate, and when they opened the door, they found that the president and general manager of the team were already waiting for them inside.

Tony Wilson was a compliment to the team's performance today, and the rainbow farts were one after the other.

Then Michael Lee took George Lee out of the locker room and took him to a corner.

"What do you want that piece of land for?"
