George Lee came to the sidelines and shook hands with Bayern head coach Magath.

This is the fourth game of the Champions League group stage, Leeds United drew 0-0 at home to Bayern, and now it is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss with 5 points.

On the other side, Inter Milan were 1-2 before this round, but if Inter can beat Shakhtar in this game, they will overtake Leeds United to finish second in the group.

After shaking hands, George Lee hurried to Caspar's side and waited for the results of the game on the other side.

"Hey, Inter won!"

Just as Lee was back in the dugout, he heard several other members of the coaching staff talking.

Leeds United are now third in the group, one point behind Inter.

George Lee directly chose to turn around and began to walk towards the locker room.

Now counting this game, Leeds United have not scored in three consecutive games.

After losing to Bayern in the third round of the last Champions League group stage, Leeds United only scored a goal in the third round of the League Cup in four games in more than ten consecutive days, and most of the substitutes only scored a goal, and the opponent was still the little-known South Security United.

Thankfully, it was Pedersen's penalty that came from Arneson's breakthrough into the box. Otherwise, I really can't win this League One team.

George Lee walked in the players' tunnel and thought about it since the last loss to Bayern, first exchanged blanks with Charlton Athletic away and gave the league vice-president a valuable 1 point. Then there was a 0-0 draw at home to Tottenham, and while maintaining an unbeaten league record, they won three consecutive league draws.

Coming to today's game, George Li really feels evil.

Kuyt, who scored a lot of goals in the team's training warm-up game before, has been playing recently and not scoring any goals, and every time he has the opportunity to run out, either he didn't shoot well with a soft kick at the goal, or he was blocked by the goalkeeper miraculously blocking the ball.

There is also Smith, who switched to left winger this season, and has struggled with George Lee's tactics. When he wasn't playing in the middle of the midfield, he couldn't rush up on the flanks and could only keep the ball under his feet and wait for his team-mates to get in.

It's just that after Smith changed positions, the attack in the middle also lost its impact, and Graveson had no speed advantage, so he could only pick up a little when he stepped back to attack, and he couldn't see Smith's grabbing points and shots after entering the penalty area in the first two seasons.

As for Van Persie, George Lee feels helpless, and Van Persie, who has an injury every year, came particularly early this year. Less than two months after the start of the game, he was injured.

Coupled with the injuries of Milner, Baines, Mills and other wide players, George Lee has very few options on the wing.

I rubbed my face hard with my hands to sober myself up a little.

No way!

You have to think of a way, we can't go on like this.

I walked back to the locker room and saw the players who were resting, and the players were also working very hard, all gasping for breath. Some were desperately drinking water, some were wiping sweat shirtless, and Mathieson had even collapsed in the locker room and started snoring.

Smith saw George Lee come in and kicked Matthison awake.

"Uh...... Did I fall asleep? ”

Mattheeson woke up dimly, and then asked himself.

The remark brought a little bit of life to the lifeless locker room, and several people secretly laughed.

"It's okay, you can continue to rest." George Lee continued to let the players relax, and then found a place to sit down himself.

"Boss, you sit ......" De Jong hurriedly sat down a little by himself, and gave his place to George Li a little.

'You all talk about it, is there something wrong with the team's tactics and why can't we score?

George Lee took the initiative to ask about the players, because the heel does not follow the foot, only the foot itself knows.

The coaches of the team have assigned tactics to the players, but it is still up to the players whether the tactics can be played or not.

So George Lee now took the initiative to let the players bring it up to see if there were any problems with their tactics.

All the players looked at each other, and they all looked like they wanted to talk and stopped.

It's not that they all have an opinion, it's just that they are really not satisfied with their team's recent results, and they haven't scored in three games in a row, is that something that a team that is in the top few of the league has played?

You have to say that the Carabao Cup went in, and all the players didn't even want to mention that game.

In the home game, the two halves had to kick the door frames on both sides crookedly, and they couldn't score a goal.

"I'll start with that." Captain Smith spoke first, after all, this is the time to show the captain's power, "I don't like to play on the left side, I prefer to play in the middle, the left side limits my range of movement. I don't like the feeling of having the ball under my feet, I have to protect the ball and watch where my team-mates are, and I don't have the thrill of just hitting the ball when I get into the box in the first two seasons. ”

"Oh, pleasure ......"

"Hahaha~"

The other players burst out laughing when they heard the manager catch the key words in Smith's words.

"Coach, I would like to ask this full-back to come up and come to the same position as my midfielder, what do I need to pay attention to......"

De Jong is not Parker, he plays a single midfielder relatively rarely, because he was an attacking midfielder when he was at Ajax, and now he will let him single midfielder, but he is playing and finding that one of his teammates has come up, whether he should get out of the way a little or continue to stand firmly in the position is also to re-understand, especially now this opportunity, you can say it casually.

Although there are also tactical lessons before the game, most of the time it is the coaches who are laying out targeted tactics, and the players below just listen carefully.

When you come to the field, you can follow the coach's intentions, and if there is something wrong, the coach will shout out from the field or bring it up at halftime.

It's rare to have a time like this when everyone talks freely behind closed doors.

George Lee talked a lot with the players until the staff reminded Bayern that the media interview was coming to an end and that Lee needed to attend the home team's press interview.

^^^

The next day, Leeds United's scouting department, which had just started work, received a call from manager George Lee.

Chief scout Steve Walsh rushed to the head coach's office with his assistant Nick Gray.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw that the team's general manager, Tony Wilson, was already sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee on the table, which was already about to bottom.

"You're coming......" Seeing the two come in, Wilson first said hello, then pulled up his glass.

"Mr. General Manager, do you have any instructions?"

Wilson drank the last bit of coffee and placed the cup on the table before speaking.

"You have a job, Coach Li has a big job for you, you can finally get busy."

Lee, who was standing by the window, turned around and said to Walsh and Gray.

'I need a winger, the strongest kind. You can do it without winter, but I want the strongest one, understand? ”

In fact, George Li already has two alternative goals in mind, but he still wants to hear other people's opinions now.

After chatting with the players, he found that he couldn't blindly arrange tactics according to his own ideas, as if he knew that his tactical thinking was very advanced and would be the mainstream in the future. But he ignored whether his players could execute on their own terms.

Similarly, in terms of recruitment, he has more than a decade of advanced vision, and he can find any player he needs. But this time, he wanted to hear what the rest of his team thought.

Walsh and Gray also looked at each other, full of excitement.

It's finally time to play yourself, it turns out that you only need to investigate a certain player or a certain team according to George Li's request, and you don't need to use other brains.

Then show George Lee the relevant footage and analysis report, and he will tell them if they need to follow up.

But this time, judging from George Li's tone, they have to take care of a little more here.

"Southampton boy, how much price are you acceptable?" Wilson asked George Lee.

Walsh immediately guessed that the general manager and manager were discussing Southampton's youngster Gareth Bale before he arrived.

This player was finalized at the end of last season, and his scouting department has been following up, and every once in a while a report will be handed to Walsh, who will forward it to George Lee after reading it.

Now that the manager is saying so, it must be that the transfer department is already making an offer to Bale.

"It's all a British team, I'll just use the pound sterling, within 10 million in the early stage, and you can see for yourself."

Hearing Li say this, Wilson also nodded, although for a 17-year-old player, the price is a bit expensive, but since George Li said so, it will definitely not be wrong.

"Come on, my check here is already moldy."

Wilson left a word to the two men in the scouting department and left.

And Walsh's mind is full of two words right now.

"Winger, best."
