0079 First loss of the season 1
"Hey, hey, can Brian hear me?" George Lee held the headphones while holding the microphone to speak.
George Lee now sits in the stands at Elland Road Stadium, simulating the upcoming game against Liverpool with an electronic communication device.
Because George Lee was invited to the stands in the last game, he can only direct the team's game from the stands in the next game.
"Chris, can you rely on this thing?"
Seeing that there was no response in the headphones, George Li asked Chris Casper, who was operating with a notebook next to him.
"Absolutely, that friend of mine said it's the same model used by MI6."
"If MI6 uses this thing, then I'll take it too."
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a call and ask John below."
John Sheridan was testing with Brian Kidd in the dugout below on the other end.
"Right...... Turn up the channel...... Yes, yes, that's the ......."
Casper picked up the phone and called Sheridan. After the fight, I told George Lee.
"They didn't change the channel, and it was ...... right away"
"Hello, do you hear me......" George Lee's voice came from Kidd's headphones.
"Clear, Brian?"
"Listen clearly, there should be no problem with the game then."
"Okay, let's try again in a while and see if this battery can last for 90 minutes."
George Lee turned his head to look at Casper.
"Don't say it, MI6 is really good."
"Of course, I promise you to go up to the Anfield Road grandstand next time, and I'll get you another update."
"I don't think I'll want to experience it again."
"I'll take a look at ......," Casper said, opening the Leeds United fixture schedule for this season on his computer.
"What are you looking at?"
'I'll see who we'll be next after the next meeting with Middlesbrough if Viduka doesn't move.
"Who is it?" Although George Lee doesn't want to go to the stands anymore, he may not be able to fight Viduka again.
"Hey~, it's still Liverpool, but the advantage is that we can be in the stands at Elland Road Stadium, and then we won't need electronic devices, I'll help you get a ticket for the first row, directly behind the coach's box."
"Thank you, but I don't think I need a ticket if I need a ticket."
If it weren't for the game against Liverpool, Casper would have been used, and George Lee would really want to fight now.

"The defense of set-pieces, don't mess up the formation, what's the use of so many people in the box."
George Li picked up the wheat clamped on the neckline and said loudly to the microphone.
George Lee had to raise the volume again because the Anfield stadium was so noisy.
The reason why the Anfield stadium is noisy is because the Liverpool fans are singing, and the reason why the Liverpool fans are singing is because Liverpool have scored.
On the 18th minute of the match between Liverpool and Leeds United, Liverpool attacked from a corner, the ball was driven out and flew into the Leeds United penalty area, Mathieson jumped high and scrambled the ball out before Carragher.
But the ball flew to the feet of Xavi Alonso just outside the box, and the Spaniard didn't wait for the ball to fall and volleyed straight into the gate guarded by Van der Sar.
It's not just Leeds United who have strengthened their midfield this season, Liverpool and Chelsea have both strengthened their already strong midfield.
Liverpool spent 5.6 million pounds to bring in Benitez's veteran Mohamed Sissoko from Valencia to replace the German Hamann and partner Alonso, since then Benitez's midfield iron triangle has basically been built, Sissoko defensive protection, Alonso organization and scheduling, Gerrard forward attack, plus Benitez's best 4231 formation, really make this Liverpool more versatile.
This season, Liverpool also brought in Spanish goalkeeper Reina, Dutch winger Zenden, plus Morientes, who joined last season's winter, Benitez now has more cards in his hand.
In addition, Benitez is already a master tactician on the field, as can be seen from last season's Champions League final. In the first half, AC Milan's Kaka was like no one, and in the second half, Benitez made a targeted substitution for Hamann to focus on Kaka, and the result was achieved.
After two meetings last season, Benitez has already studied George Lee's tactics.
Aren't you targeting me Alonso, then I will strengthen the protection of Alonso, directly get an Alonso's bodyguard, and copy the model of "Pirlo + Gattuso".
The same is true for the current league leader Chelsea, who was previously a trio of Makelele, Thiago and Frank Lampard, but now worried that Makelele is old, he directly spent a lot of money to buy Essien, regardless of whether Essien is partnering with Makelele or Thiago.
As for Arsenal and Manchester United, they are not doing a good job in this area and now there is a problem.
Arsenal are here because of the loss of Patrick Vieira, and it is not enough to rely on a Gilberto and an immature little law.
Manchester United are even worse, having first competed with Chelsea for Essien this summer, but where are the opponents of the deep-pocketed Chelsea. He then lost out against Chelsea in a race for a young player named Mikel. In the end, United's entire success this summer was Paul Robinson and the £4 million Park Ji-sung.
That's not the biggest problem, the biggest problem now is the dressing room problem. The team's boss, Roy Keane, openly confronted young players such as Alex Ferguson and Fletcher in the dressing room, and did not admit that his form had declined, causing a miasma in the dressing room.
Some time ago, Ferguson called George Lee and asked him if he needed reinforcements, recommended Keane to George Lee, and could also add Wies Brown to the deal if needed.
George Lee directly said that he wanted Ferdinand, and Ferguson hung up the phone.
Back to the game.
Liverpool is the first strong team that Leeds United have played since the beginning of the league, and George Lee originally attached great importance to it.
Now I have become very serious, extremely important, after all, I am in the stands.
"Can you see anything?" George asked Casper, who was sitting next to him.
Casper sat in the stands with George Lee today, along with two of Casper's data analysts and two FA staff members who supervised George Lee.
Casper took the computer handed over by his assistant, which contained all the data of the teams and players that had been playing for more than 20 minutes.
"This Liverpool is well-rounded and has few weaknesses. We were able to block Alonso last season and this season the Spaniard has grown a lot and he has bodyguards. The striker has also been replaced by Morientes, so we can't be careless. Even the goalkeeper has changed, I watched his previous rounds and last season's La Liga games, and he was quite consistent, with excellent goal-line technique and defensive positioning. "Although Casper is usually a bit out of tune, when it comes to his professional projects, it is certainly commendable.
"There are no obvious weaknesses, I don't think it's so perfect."
George Li looked at the data given by Casper for a moment, then picked up the microphone and said inside.
"Zenden on the left side of the opposite side is not as dangerous as Colwill, so let Mills go up and try the full-back style of play that we talked about earlier, and then let Graveson press forward a little bit and Alonso don't let up at all."
After receiving the information, Kidd quickly commanded the team to adjust according to George Lee's deployment.
Sure enough, after the adjustment, Leeds United's attack here improved slightly, threatening Liverpool's goal on several occasions.
However, the new Spanish goalkeeper Reina, who replaced Dudek, played steadily and denied Leeds United's shots one by one.
Not only does Reyna have textbook exemplary saves and dazzling agility, but they can also link up with Liverpool's defence and dictate the team's defence.
Benitez is not a general, seeing the change in Leeds United, he immediately strengthened the attack on the left side, Gerrard's tilt to the left and the forward insertion of Reese allowed Mills to obediently withdraw to a parallel position in the team's defense.
