"So, he didn't get a new haircut."

"yes, I told him not to change it, because Carl likes your blonde hair."

"Really?"

"I lied to him, Carl likes Ronaldinho's hairstyle, and he bought a headband for himself a few days ago."

"You're so bad."

Now Leeds United hosts Blackburn Rovers halfway through the third round of the English League Cup, with the score 1-1.

In the second half, players from both sides were entering the stadium, while George Lee was chatting with Brian Kidd on the sidelines.

In this game, Leeds United sent a semi-main lineup to face Blackburn Rovers because it was a multi-front operation.

In the opening game of the league, Leeds United beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1, the second meeting between the two teams in three months.

Leeds United started today's goalkeeper with Edwin van der Sar, followed by Hart, Kevin Dawson, Anton Ferdinand and Kelly.

Smith wore the captain's armband in the presence of Kelly today, partnering De Jong and Parker.

The two wingers are Pederson and Milner.

The lone striker is Andy Gray.

It can be said that with the exception of Van der Sar, Parker and Smith, almost all of them are substitutes. But this does not mean that Leeds United's strength is not good, but still occupies the initiative on the field, although the score is 1-1, but this does not affect Li George and Kidd to brag on the sidelines.

"Blackburn's form has been up and down this year."

"Win or lose, but it's the strong team that loses?"

"I believe that, after all, they lost to us in the first round."

"Hehe~, you're quite too tall."

"It was meant to be ...... What's going on...... Who TM is hurt again. ”

While George Lee was chatting with Kidd, someone here at Leeds United was on the ground again.

Unfortunately, the unlucky guy who fell to the ground was Alan Smith again.

In the scramble just now, when Blackburn's player Kizanishvili jumped, he didn't hit the ball, but hit Smith, who jumped before him, and both of them lost their balance when they landed.

Then Smith fell to the ground first, and then Kizanishvili also fell, and by chance the bottom of his boot kicked Smith in the head.

Milner saw that Big Brother, who had been a little unlucky recently, was injured again, and hurriedly ran up to check on the situation.

Seeing that it didn't matter, he quickly motioned for the team doctor to come up.

But Smith sat up first, and he didn't like the kind of person who fell to the ground and rolled around, pretending to be pitiful and deceiving the referee's feelings.

This sat down, but it scared everyone around.

Smith had blood on his head, hair, and clothes.

In particular, his blonde hair and white jersey are in stark contrast to the bright red blood.

"Damn, just came back, here again." George Li is also in a hurry, Smith can't be injured anymore, he just became the official captain of the team today, and he hung up the lottery, is this a catastrophe?

George Lee watched the team doctor go up, then first checked the wound, and then helped Smith up and took him to the sidelines.

George Li hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.

"It's not a big problem, just bandage your head, it's scary to look at, a small cut." The team doctor explained Smith's condition to him.

"That's good." Lee was relieved.

George Lee glanced at Smith, who was also looking at him.

"Or ...... When you get on the pitch, you win the game for me. ”

Seeing Smith's resolute eyes, the words of finally replacing Smith still didn't come out.

After a brief bandage, Smith was back on the field with gauze and netting on his head.

While Smith stood on the sidelines waiting for the dead ball.

A tsunami erupted inside the stadium at Elland Road, home of Leeds United.

"Come on, Alain!" "Real man!" "Kill Blackburn!"

Blackburn made a pass mistake and sent the ball off the touchline.

Smith took the field again, raising his left hand, a yellow armband firmly tied to his arm.

In the stadium, the cheers that had just stopped rang out again.

After Smith came on the court, he told the other players about George Lee's latest instructions, and the players nodded their heads.

Leeds United, who have returned to 11 men, began to storm on.

In the 63rd minute, Leeds United launched a counter-attack, with Milner leading the way and breaking through Blackburn's left-hand defence to reach the opposition half.

Then he faced the defense and passed the ball to Smith in the middle.

Smith stopped the ball for a moment, then pushed with the outside of his right foot and played a through ball to Andy Gray, who had successfully countered offside.

In the end, Gray received the ball and single-handedly faced the attacking Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel and calmly pushed the goal.

2 to 1.

The 28-year-old, who has been adrift for almost 10 years since leaving Leeds United, finally seized the opportunity to score his first goal for his parent club.

After scoring, Gray ran to the corner, knelt down on both knees, and covered his face with his hands.

At this moment, Andy Gray, the kid of Thorpe's Arch, he's back.

Leeds United fans erupted in thunderous applause dedicated to their child, Andy Gray.

The applause was also given to the team's director of football, Eddie Gray, head of youth Frank Gray, academy coach Stuart Gray, and scout Nick Gray, who is now watching another team in London.

The whole family has given so much to Leeds United.

Fans are also thankful for the team's manager, who recalled the children who were once Thorpe Arch to Elland Road, and it was he who brought Leeds back on track.

Smith stepped forward, pulled up Gray, who was on his knees, motioned for him to thank the fans, and then hurried back to the game.

Looking at Smith's performance, George Lee couldn't help but be even more pleased.

"He's getting more and more like a captain."

On 68 minutes, Milner was tackled to the ground by a Blackburn defender near the baseline, the ball rolled off the baseline, and the referee gave a corner.

Milner kept chasing the referee and signaling that it was a foul.

Just when Milner raised his voice, he was almost yelling at the referee, and the referee was already a little unbearable, a hand was already in his pocket.

Smith pulled Milner away and pointed inside the box.

"You go to the penalty area for me to prepare for the attack, don't talk nonsense here!"

Faced with the reprimand of the big brother, Milner could only obediently go to the penalty area.

Then Leeds then Pederson whipped in a corner and after a scuffling battle in the box, Milner almost slotted the ball over the crossbar.

In the process of retreating, Smith reached out to Milner, touching his head and praising him for his performance. Let Milner, who had just been reprimanded by Smith, disappear without a trace at the slightest unhappiness.

"He's getting more and more like a captain."

This time, it was Brian Kidd next to George Lee who spoke.

But if Smith's captain's debut ends like this today, it certainly wasn't perfect.

On 82 minutes, Smith received Kelly's cross from the right.

Kelly directly found the back point of the ball, so Smith, who appeared there at the time, was already unguarded.

The ball is already in a half-high state in front of Smith, usually at this time Smith takes his head and goes in, but Smith hesitates, after all, he still has an injury on his head, which can choose to use his feet.

Smith was seen with a sideways volley with his usually unused left foot and into the gate behind Friedel.

3 to 1.

The suspense of the ensuing match was also lost, and Leeds United managed to advance to the fourth round of the League Cup.

^^^

Then on the third day of training after the race, everyone was taken aback by Smith again.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing around?"

The team's coach, John Sheridan, walked into the training ground dressing room, urged the players to start training, and was shocked to see the crowd disperse.

"Who is this TM..... Is it Alain, how did you change this hairstyle. ”

"The doctor said it would be easier for the wound to heal, and it would be easier for the next check-up."

Smith, with his short blonde hair, smiled slightly.
