On November 4, Leeds United played Middlesbrough at home in the 11th round of the Premier League.

George Lee took the initiative to make adjustments to the team's lineup.

Smith returned to midfield, while Lee Bowyer was on the left flank.

At the back, Scott Parker returned to the starting line-up and was joined by Nigel de Jong. George Lee's task for De Jong is to keep sweeping the midfield, and at the same time pay attention to learning Parker's position and style of play. Because Mills on the right will appear in the full-back position today, De Jong does not need to play in the central midfield, he plays in the central midfield position.

Graveson is resting today, and he has also suffered from Denmark's bald head recently, after Parker's absence and Smith's position changed, he is a father and a mother, and he has to carry the entire Leeds United midfield.

Ben Thatcher remains at left-back, and the 31-year-old will remain on the left side of Leeds until Baines returns.

Thankfully, today's opponent is Middlesbrough, who has only one fast horse on the flank, Stuart Downing, but defending him is Leeds' task on the right flank, so Thatcher won't be crushed by the opponent's speed today.

'In that way, it felt like months of useless work, and Allan was back in midfield. I would not have sold Glen Schal if I had known this, and he was on the bench at Bayern anyway. George Lee stretched out his waist and raised his hands high.

"People pay more on the bench than we do here." Brian Kidd hastened to add.

"Yes, but you reminded me, do you want to talk to Tony, re-sign the contracts of several key players, and raise the salary, after all, we are a Champions League team and the league leader. I don't want to poach everyone else next summer. ”

"And Charlotte, a few of them, you must show me." Kidd is taking Charlotte very seriously right now.

"Got it, Charlotte, Young, Fabian, Caspar and I'll all go up." After listening to Kidd's words, George Lee also agreed to mention the salaries of several young people on the team, who are the future of the team, "Oh, yes. Looking at Thatcher's performance, should we promote Danny to the first team. ”

"No, Leyton is coming back next, and Mathieson can play on the left." Kidd advised Lee George not to mention Danny Rose to the first team for the time being.

George Lee and Kidd discuss tactics while watching the game on the field.

On the field, Leeds United, who have returned to their old tactics, have really found a familiar rhythm of the game. Davies, Kuyt, Smith and Bowyer kept around the Middlesbrough backline in front.

Gareth Southgate, who retired this year, made a seamless transition to become Middlesbrough's head coach in the summer. According to media reports, Southgate does not even have a coaching certificate.

However, Southgate, who has just taken up the role of coach, has shown a style of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. You can win against strong teams like Chelsea and draw with Arsenal, but you can also lose by four goals against Portsmouth.

So just when Leeds United's recent attack has been sluggish, many media outlets are optimistic that Middlesbrough can get points from Leeds United.

However, just 24 minutes into the game, Leeds United slapped everyone in the face with practical actions.

"Smack~"

Kuyt clapped his hands and motioned for Mills to quickly throw the sideline ball to himself.

Mills picked up the ball on the ground, threw it directly with both hands, and threw it to Kuyt, who was sticking to the sideline.

By the time Kuyt got the ball, he was already behind the Middlesbrough defence.

By the time Austrian full-back Pogatts found out, Kuyt was gone.

With the wings open, Leeds can get forward in the middle, with Smith bearing the brunt.

Davis, who was originally at the front, had just seen Kuyt receive the ball on the sideline, and was just about to run forward to help his teammates open up space, and just as he was about to start, he saw that Smith had already run past him.

Starting again, he has been pulled out of position by Smith.

Davies saw that De Jong was still in the center circle, so in order to prevent disconnection, he slowed down and prepared to run to the right outside the box to meet Kuyt, leaving the box for Smith.

Before Kuyt reached the penalty area, he moved to Middlesbrough in the summer because he did not play at Chelsea, so he moved to Middlesbrough to defend himself.

Kuyt and Davis then played a wall-and-wall link to get into the box again.

At this time, Smith in front of goal was already in place, Davies was behind him, and De Jong was at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Kuyt had several points of passing and were all dangerous.

At the same time, he can also choose to hit the goal himself, as he is now facing the goal directly in the box, but at a slightly smaller angle.

In the end, Kuyt chose a path that almost everyone hadn't thought of.

He played the ball towards the back post of the Middlesbrough goal.

A man in a white No. 11 jersey rubbed the ball into the goal with his head, which had little hair and a slightly high hairline.

Because he rushed too fast, he almost hit the goalpost after the top. Grabbing a goalpost with both hands, he slowed himself down.

Lee Bowyer bowed his head again to make sure the ball was inside the goal, and then began to celebrate his goal.

Bowyer came to the sidelines, put his right hand to his ear, and began to listen to the cheers of the home crowd.

“Goooooooooal！”

“Good！” ，“Nice！ ”

Once again, Bowyer felt the enthusiasm of the Elland Road fans.

At this time, other Leeds United players also came over and made the same gesture together.

The home fans once again erupted in shouts to cheer on their home players.

After the celebration, the Leeds team started walking towards their own half, Bowyer speaking to Smith halfway through.

"MD, run me to death, is Leeds United football like this now?"

"You're old, don't be so desperate next time, you almost put your head on the doorpost just now."

"you."

Bowyer gave Smith a push, and Smith pushed Bowyer.

Then Bowyer shoved Smith again.

The two of you, one for me, all the way to my own half, and then I looked up and saw that everyone on the team, including my own coaching staff, was looking at the two of them.

After all, he had a criminal record, and Bowyer was the first to understand what was going on, so he quickly hugged Smith's shoulder and smiled at the others.

"Whew~"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This hasn't been played yet, and Leeds United, who have played with a feeling, keep up the good work.

In the ensuing game, in addition to Bowyer, the other Kuyt, Smith and Davis all scored.

With 88 minutes played, substitute Arneson scored a solo past the goalkeeper and into the empty net. The score was fixed at 5-0.

A hearty victory dispelled the haze that shrouded George Lee's head.

Seeing that the team's attack is no longer constipated, George Lee is also confident that he will be able to play against both teams in the next round of the League Cup against Manchester United and the 12th round of the league against Chelsea.

"Let's go, let's go, shake Southgate's hand, and go back to figure out how to fight the old man."

George Lee hummed a song and walked away.

Only a few other members of the coaching staff were left stunned.

Especially when I just arrived at Martin and Howe.

"It's hard for the manager to sing." This is the first reaction in the minds of the two people right now.
