0110 Embarking on the future

Leeds started to get their morale high here after Leeds pulled a goal back, especially after Alan Smith got rid of his demons and bounced back.

Jose Mourinho began to focus on defending to prevent Leeds from scoring another goal.

Hurriedly called back Robben, who was already preparing to play, and asked him not to play again, and then called back Makelele, who was warming up, to strengthen the defense.

Chelsea then made a substitution, with No.7 Mani cut off and No.4 Claude Makelele coming on.

Munirio's idea was to form a back pair with Essien after coming on through Claude Makelele, and then Frank Lampard up front, putting Joe Cole on the wing to organise the attack.

But Mourinho underestimated Leeds United, underestimated George Lee and underestimated Alan Smith.

On 70 minutes, Smith scored the second goal of the game with a header from another corner.

This gave all Leeds United fans hope again.

But then, there was a dramatic scene on the pitch.

Shortly after Chelsea's kick-off, Leeds hit back again, and Smith was almost one-on-one after receiving Van Persie's through ball.

However, the referee blew the whistle because he saw the linesman raise the flag.

After Smith scored two goals in a row, he was in so good shape that he didn't even hear the referee's whistle to stop the game.

Nadu continued to dribble the ball after the ball and it wasn't until he got past Petr Cech to score the ball that he realised it wasn't right.

When he turned around, he saw the referee Foye chasing after him with a yellow card.

Because Smith had already received a yellow card in the first half, it was his second yellow card, and the referee then showed Smith a red card and sent him off.

No matter how Smith explained to the referee, the referee refused to change his decision.

In the end, Smith could only end up gloomily, leaving a lonely figure.

Behind him were other Leeds players who continued to argue with the referee.

Smith walked halfway to something, suddenly noticed something, took off the captain's armband on his arm, handed him to Baines, and asked him to take it to Van der Sar. He didn't choose to hand it over to Van der Sar himself, believing that his performance did not deserve to be the captain of the team.

As soon as he came to the sidelines, Smith, who had kept his head down, immediately felt a hand slap on his back.

"Well done, Captain."

It was George Lee who spoke, and at least in the 20 minutes of the second half, George Lee was satisfied with Smith's performance.

In fact, George Lee didn't care much about this red card, the most important thing was that the "tough guy" Smith was back.

Smith sat down in his seat, and instead of taking the water that Kelly handed him, he took a towel and put it over his head.

In the end, Leeds United, a 10-man team, lost 3-2 to Chelsea, and Terry scored a header from a set-piece in the closing stages of the game to put the score in the lead again.

Muñerio was also thrilling to win three points at home, while George Lee saw the team's hopes of finishing in the top three of the league again.

The next day, Alan Smith became the focus of media attention again in the focus of this game, but George Lee saw that this time Smith was not affected again, at least from the attitude and performance of training.

In the 34th round of the league, Leeds United defeated the visiting Manchester City 1-0 at home.

Alan Smith was suspended from the stands for this game, but the rest of Leeds United performed well. Although it was only 1-0, Leeds United dominated the whole game on the field.

Where can you tell from that, in terms of shots, Manchester City have a score of 0 because they didn't have a shot on goal from start to finish. Note that it is not within the range of the jamb, it is the number of shots.

Van der Sar didn't appear on camera a couple of times throughout the game.

Leeds were then preparing for the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, with Basel flying to England a few days before to start acclimatising.

However, just two days before the game, George Lee showed up at the City Stadium in Manchester with Eddie Gray, Chris Casper and scout Harry Maddison to watch Manchester City's home game against Newcastle.

"Who do you have a crush on, take us to watch the game today."

Gray was curious and asked George Lee before the game began. Although Lee didn't say it, he could probably guess that it was a Manchester City player, otherwise he wouldn't have come to watch Manchester City's game again just after the game against Manchester City.

Last season, they already experienced it twice. One time was just after the game with West Ham United, and then I went to watch the West Ham United game, that time to examine Matthew Upson, and it was also after that inspection that George Lee gave up his plan to bring in Upson. Another time was when George Lee brought in the striker of Bolton Wanderers, Kevin Davies, after the final round of the league game. The England striker has also been in excellent form for Leeds United, scoring few goals, but his versatility has enriched Leeds' style of play up front.

"Ben Thatcher and Joey Barton."

"What!"

Not only Gray, but even Casper, who was operating the computer next to him, was also shocked. The other Madison's eyes widened and he couldn't speak.

"Don't you think these two guys are very much in line with the temperament of our team."

The three of them stopped talking, and they all knew it in their hearts.

said that the temperament is in line with it, it must not be in line with the temperament of the current Leeds United manager, after all, he looks like a gentleman on the outside. But when it comes to the team lineup, then these two players are really too compatible, and the three people sitting next to Lee once thought that George Lee's current selection of players is no longer a nationality "quirk", but "dirty" as the first element.

George Li saw that they didn't speak, so he continued to speak.

"Actually, I also have one in Newcastle that I want to investigate, but I don't know if he will play today."

The three of them turned their heads to look at the Newcastle players who were warming up on the field.

"Bramble?" That's Gray guessed.

"Jenas?" That's Casper guessed.

"Keelung-Dyer?" Madison also tried to guess.

"Hurry up, next game, next game, the car is already waiting for us in the parking lot." Before the match between Manchester City and Newcastle was over, Lee urged the other three to leave quickly to avoid congestion after the game.

"George, are we really flying to Southampton?" Casper tried to ask, after all, the plane tickets for the four of them were on him.

“What?” The other two unwitting ones were once again shocked because George Lee asked them to come out to scout the players and give them a day to spare, thinking that the Manchester City vs Newcastle match was over, and now they heard that they were going to Southampton.

From Manchester Airport, many airlines offer direct flights to Southampton Airport, and the price of direct flights is usually much higher than other options, but George Lee insists on going.

The four of them rushed all the way to Southampton in the evening.

By the time they reached St Mary's, Southampton and Millwall had already reached the second half.

Southampton were making a substitution and a young monkey-looking player was getting ready to play.

Gray and Madison were standing at the entrance of the audience aisle, holding their knees and panting desperately.

And former pro Casper was slightly better, gasping and looking at the big screen.

"Gareth Bell,
