AFAS Stadium, AZ Alkmaar, Netherlands.

"Thank you for the guidance." Lee George joined forces and shook hands with AZ Alkmaar coach Louis van Gaal.

"Come on, young man." Van Gaal patted George Lee on the shoulder.

Above, the scoreboard has ended.

0 to 0.

In the third round of the Europa League group stage, AZ Alkmaar drew with Leeds United at home, and the two sides exchanged blanks.

After the game, George Lee and Louis van Gaal both spoke highly of the opposing coach.

'Coach Louis van Gaal is a great manager and I can learn a lot from this senior, when I went to Ajax, Coach Louis van Gaal had already left for Barcelona and it was a shame that I didn't play under him.

In this game, George Lee played very depressed, and when he fought against Van Gaal, there was a feeling that the pants were all light.

After all, Van Gaal is also a master of high-level pressing and full-court pressing, and the Netherlands' all-attack and defense are even more used by him.

Many of the high-post presses that George Lee is using now have the shadow of Van Gaal's previous tactics.

Leeds United today are limited by AZ Alkmaar.

However, AZ Alkmaar, in turn, have no way to take Leeds United.

Van Gaal has changed the tradition this season, and it is really "rich to press all over the field, poor to defend and counterattack". Fight with AZ Alkmaar on the counter-attack.

But there is no way for Van Gaal, what Van Gaal used to do, even the central defenders were born to play in the midfield, De Boer, Blind, Rijkaard, at that time, the defenders played the ball casually.

Now, it's Keyu Aryanse, Ryan Donk, Greta Stenson, these people can hold Leeds United's attack, I didn't see that today's shot ratio is 16 to 3, Leeds United are in front.

George Lee has also been educated recently, and met Alex Ferguson in the previous game. This time he met Van Gaal again, which made him feel that there was still a gap between himself and these famous coaches.

However, there is good news here for Leeds United, that is, Van Persie, who has suffered a foot injury, is returning from injury and can play in the next game.

^^^

Sure enough, Leeds United, who returned to England, vented their frustration of 1 draw and 1 loss in the first two games on their next opponents.

On December 6, in the 15th round of the league, he challenged Birmingham away from home, splicing Romeddal's long-range shot and Albchesten's header in the penalty area, and won 2-1 against Birmingham, and in the 80th minute of the game, Van Persie came on as a substitute to announce his return from injury.

On December 9th, the 16th round of the league, against Blackburn Rover, Leeds United cleanly got the opponent 3-1, which means that Leeds United has beaten Blackburn three times this season, if there is still an FA Cup, there may be a chance to kill Blackburn Rovers four times, and now Blackburn Rover's manager Mark Hughes is a little big when he hears the name of Leeds United.

On December 12, in the third round of the league, Leeds United made their third consecutive Premier League away trip, but Leeds United still beat Everton 2-0 with excellent performance and effective rotation.

Following Mark Hughes, David Moyes has become George Lee's new enemy.

Last season, under the leadership of George Lee, Leeds United succeeded in relegation at the last moment, allowing Everton to be relegated. At the same time, they also bought Everton's tactical core, Graveson.

Everton was successfully promoted from the Championship last season, thinking that this season they could come to Leeds United to seek revenge, but as soon as they played each other, they found that the gap between the two teams is too big now, and it is not at the same level at all.

Alan Smith and Kevin Davies headed in to give Leeds United a full run at Goodison Park and take away the three points.

On 16 December, Leeds United host their fourth opponent in the UEFA Cup group stage, Bulgaria's Letekes.

Another 2-0 ended Leeds United's Europa League group stage schedule this season.

With 3 wins and 1 draw, with a goal difference of 2, AZ Alkmaar with the same number of points advanced to the top of the group.

Looking at AZ Alkmaar, who has the same points, George Li has to admire Van Gaal, it is not easy to use such a team to play such a result in the Europa League. And I heard that AZ Alkmaar has also played well in the Eredivisie this season, and is expected to break the dominance of Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

A famous marshal is a famous marshal, no matter what cards you play or where you are, you can achieve success.

Back to the Premier League again.

On December 20, in the 17th round of the league, Leeds United ended their away trip to the league and returned to Elland Road to face Newcastle United.

With 88 minutes into the game, Leeds United fans stood up and applauded desperately.

There are substitutions going on on the sidelines, with Leeds United under the number 9 and on the number 22.

Van Persie ran to the sidelines, high-fived Derwig, and thanked the crowd.

Leeds were now 3-1 up in the game, with Robin van Persie heading in the ball and scoring all three goals.

The crowd's applause didn't stop until Van Persie sat down, as Derwig, who came on the pitch, did not return from injury until today after picking up an injury against Manchester City on 26 December last year.

For nearly a year, Derwig has been recovering from his injuries and doing recovery training.

Fans have not forgotten this Norwegian youngster who used to be galloping on the wing, and now they are naturally overjoyed to see him return.

Delwig stepped back onto the pitch and that familiar feeling seemed to return.

As soon as he came on the pitch, Delwig's first touch of the ball was not good, as soon as he received a pass from Smith, he was pushed by Newcastle's Neil behind him, and then the ball rolled out of his control and was snatched away by other Newcastle players.

Delvig glared back at Nell.

Nell glared back at Delwig.

Immediately, Delwig's second touch of the ball came.

The ball that was snatched away by Newcastle just now was snatched back by Parker as soon as halfway through.

After Parker came to Leeds United, he had a very good life, although he was not the main force of the iron fight, but the playing time was fully guaranteed, coupled with Leeds United's excellent results this season, second only to Chelsea, Parker felt that he should be able to win a place for himself in the 2006 World Cup.

It stands to reason that after Parker grabs the ball, he should protect the ball as soon as possible, and then pass it back to the defender and goalkeeper when the ball is forward or someone comes up.

But today Parker saw a teammate on the right side reaching for the ball, and then passed the ball out.

The person who asked for the ball was Derwig, and he was also holding back his strength to play today.

After getting the ball, facing Nel who came to defend again, Delwig directly flicked the ball to the left with his right foot, and then went with his left foot, slid the ball to the right rear of Nel, and wiped it from Nel's left side.

The ball is divided!

Although Delwig's speed slowed down after the injury, it was still fast.

Plus Nell has been running the whole game and can't keep up.

After Del Vig had passed Nell, he was in front of Bramble.

By this time, Del Veg had already killed the red eye, and no one could stop him.

Another change of direction, another acceleration, passed Bramble.

Derwig relied on his own speed to create a single knife for himself.

Just when everyone thought Delwig was going to come on his own, he passed the ball to Kevin Davis, who was plugged in on the left.

Davies smiled lightly at the pass and then pushed it into the empty net, which was no longer guarded by Given.

Because Givan had already gone to Delwig's side.

4 to 1.

Newcastle United's two strikers, standing near the centre circle, watched the goal throughout.

After seeing Davies push the empty net, Shearer looked at Owen next to him.

And Owen, who scored a goal for Newcastle in this game, looked at the 20-year-old Delvich in the distance with affectionate eyes.

It's as if it's all the shadow of his 20-year-old.
