Inside Old Trafford Players' Tunnel.

Ferguson chewed gum and looked at George Lee, who was once his disciple.

Today's George Li looks a little different, at least this time Li is chewing gum and bubble gum without provocation in his mouth.

Originally, every time he played against Manchester United, George Lee would chew something in his mouth to provoke Ferguson.

"喏~"

Ferguson pulled out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to George Lee.

However, Li resolutely waved his hand and refused.

This is the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final, and in the other semi-final yesterday, dark horses Wigan Athletic continued to cause an upset, drawing 0-0 away from Arsenal and advancing to the League Cup final with a two-legged aggregate score of 1-0.

So today's semi-final between Manchester United and Leeds United will also determine who will enter the final to compete with Wigan for the title.

In terms of strength, Leeds United and Manchester United will have a good chance of winning the title regardless of who reaches the final.

"How did you ...... today?"

Ferguson wanted to ask what the situation was, but was directly interrupted by George Lee.

"Old man, I won this game today, and I can't stop Jesus when he comes, I said."

"What ......"

George Li directly zipped the down jacket printed with the team's logo and followed the players out of the players' tunnel.

'We saw players from both sides start coming in, with Manchester United in red and Leeds United in white.

The broadcast rights for today's game are in the hands of the BBC, so the BBC has sent a commentary combination of Lee Dixon and Joe Chaplin here.

Lee Dixon began to introduce the starters of both sides.

"First of all, let's take a look at Leeds United's lineup here with a 3241 that has been used a lot before, but has not been played out for a long time in recent times. The goalkeeper is still the veteran Van der Sar, and the Dutchman has been quite consistent since arriving at Leeds United, providing a lot of valuable experience to Leeds United's young backline, and we have seen Van der Sar's range of activities more than ever this season. The back three from right to left are Mills, Albucheson and Mathieson, which are also the three central defenders that Leeds usually use when playing a back three, with Mills and Mathieson both being the type of players who can play on the sidelines. The two midfielders are Scott Parker and De Jong, and this season we have seen a slight reduction in De Jong's playing time since Parker's arrival, and there are not many times when the two play at the same time. With four midfielders, we see Graveson and Edgar Davies in the middle, and Smith and Van Persie on the wings, with Smith on the left and Van Persie on the right. ”

Joe Chaplin made a mention when Dixon introduced.

'Smith was on the left today, and this is the first time we've seen it, so it's rare.

'It could have been related to Glen Schal's injury, we saw that the Danish winger was not in the squad for the game today. Then Leeds United is at the top of the list, which is Kevin Davies, who moved from Bolton Wanderers at the beginning of this season. ”

"After Kevin Davies came to Leeds United, it also added some problems to our coach Lee."

"Oh, how do you say?"

"Because there are people in this Leeds United who have the same name as him, and there are people who have the same surname as him. We know this Dutch midfielder who is also called Davies, Edgar Davies. Then, Leeds United has a backup defender named Kevin Dawson, so whether this Lee George is called Kevin's name or Davies' surname, two people agree. ”

"Have you ever interviewed this?"

"I'm talking nonsense. Let's take a look at the starting XI from the opposing side Manchester United. ”

"The goalkeeper is former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson. The four defenders are Gary Neville, Wes Brown, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, with Vidic and Patrice Evra both being brought in by United during this winter break, with Vidic spending 7 million and Patrice Evra spending 5.5 million. Although the price is not expensive, it is indeed a relatively powerful player. This Evra is fast, strong and has a delicate footwork. As for Vidic, he has firmly occupied the position of a first-choice centre-back since he arrived, and we are looking forward to the combination of Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. ”

Because of the departure of Roy Keane, Ferguson put Ferdinand in a central midfield position to partner Fletcher, and today Manchester United's two midfielders are dead defensive, with Cristiano Ronaldo and South Korean Park Ji-sung on the wings. The strikers are a combination of Wayne Rooney and Saha. ”

"Both teams had some of that trick today, Leeds had Alan Smith on the left and Manchester United in the back of Rio Ferdinand and Fletcher. We will wait and see who will kill the deer. ”

On the court, after the two teams shook hands, Smith and Neville came to the referee and began to guess the ball.

Smith shook hands with Gary Neville, glanced at today's United captain and remembered what his manager had said to him before kick-off.

'Today you were on the left side of the team and there were two main tasks.

"The first is to help Mathieson show me the bike kid, don't press too hard, that's not good, just cooperate with a few people in the midfield to keep compressing his space. Remember, don't give him a one-on-one chance. ”

"The second is your attack on the wing, unless you have a good chance, don't stick to it. You just hold the ball on the flank, you hold it at your feet and you wait for your team-mates in the middle to catch up, we have a numerical advantage in midfield, or you can wait for Mattheyson to catch up. ”

After Smith came on the court, he also executed these two points very well.

In the 7th minute of the game, Manchester United launched a counter-attack, and Patrice Evra on the left side made a long pass across the half of the field and found Ronaldo on the right from the left.

Xiao Xiaoluo clenched his hands into fists and half-raised, his knees bent slightly, and stopped the ball with his chest.

Then habitually began to stuff the head and accelerate the dribbling.

Leeds quickly began to pack and scramble, limiting Ronaldo's range of movement.

Mathieson began to move to the left to defend Ronaldo. De Jong hurriedly retreated to fill the gap between Mathieson and Albucheson. Parker stood on the passing lines of Ronaldo and Rooney.

Edgar Davis began to lean over Ronaldo, who was chasing after him.

Ronaldo, who had taken a few steps, began to look up and prepare to play the ball, as he noticed that the opposing frontal defender kept his distance from him and did not give him a chance to eat the opponent one-on-one.

However, he glanced at his teammates twice, and only saw Rooney behind Parker, and the other striker, Saha, did not know where.

Rio Ferdinand and Fletcher couldn't have moved forward so quickly, or they had no intention of cutting forward.

Seeing that the people on the other side were getting closer and closer, he saw a person in a red jersey coming to the middle, and when he looked at it, it was Park Ji-sung.

Xiao Xiao Luo passed the ball to the Korean, who knew that he stretched out a leg halfway and touched the ball away.

It's Graveson.

The bald head appeared in the pass path and poked the ball away, and the ball went under Parker's feet.

Now the tide was turned around in an instant, and it was Leeds' turn to fight back.

Parker passed to "The Boar" Davies, and then saw the Leeds United players start an orderly counter-attack.

Kevin Davis glanced at Vidic next to him, and didn't deliberately back down, just moved a little closer to his teammates and pretended to answer.

Vidic hesitated, his opponent was counter-attacking and the man he was about to mark was not running forward.

"Back defense, back defense!"

Ferguson shouted desperately from the sidelines.

"Knock~"

Vidic was about to turn when he saw a football fly over his head.
