"The old man didn't want to kick it seriously."

will remember the appearance of ignoring himself in the players' tunnel just now, George Lee didn't understand until he saw Manchester United's starting line-up that the opponent basically gave up the League Cup game today.

In terms of the lineup, several key players did not appear in the starting lineup. Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidic were all on the bench.

Left-back Patrice Evra is out for this game due to injury.

"If I had known this, I would have been disgusted with the old man with all the substitutes." George Li followed a few of his assistants and said.

"You're going to be considered a negative game and you're going to be punished by the FA." Brian Kidd was an honest man, he didn't think he would do such a thing, he couldn't pull this face.

"That's it, in the first half I let the team play harder, and in the second half I want to let a few people who don't usually play much go up and play."

'Lately due to injuries, it seems like our players have been given a chance to work out. Colin McGee reminds Lee George.

"Really?"

"Except Fabian Delph." Chris Casper took a look at the recent squad and told George Lee a name.

"Then let him play the second half."

"But he's not on the squad today."

"I ......"

George Lee felt that he was going to be annoyed by a few of his assistant coaches, and they all said something useless.

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to them.

"Come on, kill Manchester United!"

George Li could only vent his anger on his opponent's head and shouted loudly at his own players in the field.

The Leeds United players were taken aback, I don't know why the manager was so excited today, it seems that he has to win Manchester United today.

However, just after the start of the game, George Li found that although Manchester United hid some main forces today, today's style of play was indeed a lot more active.

Manchester United did not use the 442 that Ferguson is good at today, but learned from the mainstream that is now popular and changed it to 433.

Michael Carrick, Fletcher and Paul Scholes were in midfield, while the front three were Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-sung and Saha.

In the first five minutes, except for Leeds United when they pushed the ball forward to the front, as long as the ball was in Leeds United's half, Manchester United's front three kept harassing Leeds United's backline.

This is not the first time Manchester United has learned the Leeds United way to play against Leeds United, George Lee clearly remembers a game against Manchester United two years ago, Ferguson learned Leeds United's high pressing in the second half, and began to copy Leeds United's tactics.

It's just that today Ferguson is determined to try Leeds United, and I just learn your tactics to kick you and see how you deal with it. How you kick me today, I'll kick you next time, and I haven't been on the main force today, you can't see through me.

can only accept Ferguson is wishful thinking.

It's just that George Lee was very angry today and gave a death order to the players on the field, telling them to kick Manchester United to death.

In the 7th minute, Bowyer, who had played well in the previous game, continued to start today, a change of direction on the left flank, broke through Wess Brown, and cut inside before passing the ball to Gravesson.

Gravison then distributed the ball back to Smith, who suddenly appeared on the left.

Because when Bowyer was cutting inside just now, Graveson predicted in advance and ran to the penalty area first, so Smith did not rush forward this time, but went to fill Bowyer's original position.

After Smith got the ball, Brown, who was defending this piece, had been pulled away by Bowyer, so Smith now has no one to defend and can calmly cross.

But Smith did something that no one expected, opting to shoot straight into the left side of the box.

Smith was in a good position, so the ball was very fast, and the United defence did not anticipate this at all.

Robinson was still beckoning Ferdinand to keep an eye on Davies, when he saw the ball suddenly fly towards the goal, and quickly reached out to block it.

In the end, he held the ball out of the bottom line with his right arm.

"Hey~" Smith waved his arm regretfully.

Robinson, on the other hand, glanced back at his former teammates as he picked up the ball on the baseline. Now Smith is already the captain of the team, and it can be seen from the ball just now that he is getting more and more comprehensive, and he is no longer the stunned young man who only rushed into the penalty area before.

'It seems that it is still a bit useful to let him play on the left side for a while, at least he will run there on his own, not just in the box.' George Lee is also a rare person to see Smith attack in such a way, and he began to put gold on his face.

"Didn't you set it up before the game?" Kidd chose to expose George Lee's lies, because he had repeatedly stressed before the game that Smith should not blindly choose to squeeze into the box and make room for wide players when cutting inside.

"I've stressed it before, but has he heard it?" George Lee continued to stiffen his mouth.

", I heard you, you threatened Alain at the time." Kidd poked him once again, as he saw George Lee pull Smith aside for a small stove after setting up before the end of the game.

Although it was quiet, Kidd could still hear words like "nightclub", "side", "training", and "grounding".

Lee George is too lazy to talk to Kidd now, because he has decided that he will buy a top winger next season, and he is good at playing inside, and the team needs to give up the middle.

If the middle lane is full of people, then it will definitely not work to cut inside.

George Lee looked at the pitch again, and now Leeds United took the initiative on the pitch, taking advantage of the numerical advantage in midfield and began to press frequently in the middle and forward, disrupting Manchester United's playmaking attack.

In the 27th minute of the game, after Fletcher was cut off by Davies who returned to midfield, Smith passed straight to Manchester United on the right side, and Kuyt received the ball and crossed from the bottom line, at this time the Manchester United players and Leeds United players came to the small penalty area.

After a scuffle in front of goal, it was Davies who stabbed the ball into the United goal.

Davies, who had just wanted to celebrate, heard the referee's whistle, which was not the sound of a valid penalty shot, but the sound of a Leeds United offensive foul.

The referee determined that Davies used his body to knock down Ferdinand before the goal was scored.

Davis kept holding his head and signaling that he had not committed a foul.

But the referee insisted on his decision.

Then there were two dramatic scenes off the field, and the director gave the audience two synchronous camera replays, one was George Li who began to celebrate after seeing the goal, and knelt on the ground after seeing the referee's penalty in the middle of the celebration, spreading his hands and waving his head from side to side; On the other side, the original blushing face began to chatter and curse halfway, but after seeing that the goal was invalid, there was no picture of smiling eyes.

It's just that the goal that was blown away was just an episode of the first half.

The attacking combination of Saha, Ryan Giggs and Park Ji-sung did not pose any concrete threat to Leeds in the first half.

Instead, Leeds United, who were blown away by a goal, were not affected afterwards, and in the final stages of the first half, by pressuring Rio Ferdinand, caused his passing error.

Through this Manchester United mistake, a goal was scored.

According to George Lee, Leeds spent most of the first half strengthening their defence against Manchester United's other defender, O'Shea, and letting go of Rio Ferdinand a little.

The main thing is that George Lee thinks that Ferdinand's ability to play the ball is better than O'Shea, and in line with the principle of the barrel effect, it must be that O'Shea is easy to find loopholes here.

The second is that George Lee knows that Ferdinand sometimes loses concentration and wanders.

Watching O'Shea for most of the first half made Ferdinand let his guard down, and the sudden pressure on him in the rest of the year made it easy for him to make mistakes.

Sure enough, Ferdinand made a careless shot and was tackled by Smith when he passed the ball to Carrick. Leeds then launched a counter-attack, and through a link to Davies' wall, Smith entered the box and fired home into the far corner.

1 to 0.

At the start of the second half, Alex Ferguson decisively replaced Rio Ferdinand, who had made a mistake.

Just when everyone thought that Ferdinand was replaced because of a mistake in the first half, George Lee took the initiative to replace several main players and replace young players, and did not look like he wanted to further expand the lead.

And George Lee's master next door also had a tacit understanding of replacing Carrick and Park Ji-sung.

In the end, thanks to Smith's only goal, Leeds United eliminated Manchester United and qualified for the next round of the League Cup.
