0159 Double 11 Promise

"Why did you just let the team write a note and throw it in the box?" Brian Kidd wondered what Lee was doing in the locker room just now.

"Don't you think November 11th is a good day, and the four 1s are a lot like a group of singles?" Lee George told Kidd what he thought.

After the team has laid out the tactics, in order to let the players relax from their pre-match nervousness, you take out a cardboard box and say that anyone who is single on the team can write something and put it in.

Then, if they win against Chelsea today, George Lee will draw three lucky winners, and as long as it is not too demanding, George Lee will pay for them as head coach.

This action was decisively attended by many lone dogs within the team, and even a few members of the coaching staff who were single also participated, after all, there was no saying that coaches could not participate in the event.

"I think it's a good idea, we can come back once a year." Kidd offered his opinion.

"You pay?" Lee George asked Kidd rhetorically.

Just after the assistant coach was asked by George Li to say nothing, several players waiting in front of him to enter the field were also discussing what they had written.

"Thomas, you can't write, you're not single."

"Danny, I didn't write ......"

"Jonathan, I see you put it in, what did you write?"

"I'm curious about what you've written."

The Chelsea players are looking at the players here at Leeds with curiosity and wonder what they are discussing.

Why playing football has something to do with being single or not.

But you can't go up and ask, after all, if you ask, people won't tell you.

"Casper, you don't have a girlfriend, what did you write?"

Smith, who was standing at the front, glanced at Terry, who was standing straight, and then turned to ask Kasper Schmeichel, who started today, behind him.

Smith saw that the son of the goalkeeper coach was a little nervous today, and even his body was shaking.

While the players were discussing, Schmeichel Jr. had been taking deep breaths and not talking with his teammates. When Smith saw this, he thought it was necessary for him to enlighten this little brother.

"I, I just wrote ......"

It's just that Schmeichel Jr. hasn't said anything yet, and he was led by the referee to start entering the field.

After the players of both teams entered, the coaches of both teams also followed into the field. George Lee looked at Mourinho next to him, the Portuguese didn't look very good, and even the assistant coach Rui Faria next to him was also pale.

Before the game, Mourinho again asked his boss Abou to let Shevchenko play as a substitute, but again he was refused, and the Russian insisted that the Ukrainian start.

It's just that George Li doesn't know about these things.

George Lee decided that Chelsea would play two strikers today, so he put on a 3241 formation that is not commonly used this season.

The three defenders are Mathieson, Woodgate and Mills, the two midfielders are Parker and De Jong, the two central midfielders are Smith and Graveson, and the single forward is Kevin Davis.

The two wings were more interesting today, with the same players who had played on the right before, but Milner was still on the right and Kuyt was sent on the left.

This is another attempt by George Lee to develop the comprehensiveness of Kuyt.

Anyway, the pressure on Leeds United's flanks was not very great today, especially on the left side of Kuyt, against Chelsea's Geremi, and the pressure was far less than that of Milner's Ashley Cole.

Sure enough, soon after the opening, the two sides started a fierce battle in the midfield, which was completely hand-to-hand combat and bayonets.

Leeds still wear their usual white shirt today, while Chelsea are their home blue shirt.

In less than 10 minutes, Smith at Leeds had three dips on the ground, Parker had two flips and Frenkie de Jong had just been booked for bringing down Frank Lampard.

The white jerseys of the three men were already covered in dirt marks and grass clippings.

Frank Lampard, on the other hand, came down the pitch and took off his blue shirt for a new one. Just now in the scramble with De Jong, his jersey was torn off.

Frank Lampard returned to the pitch and looked at De Jong as if he were going to eat him.

De Jong was not to be outdone, his nostrils were facing the "magic lamp", and his expression was also very scary.

It was in such an unfriendly atmosphere that the two sides continued to start the game.

And this atmosphere really scared Schmeichel Jr. who appeared today.

"Casper, here's the ball......" Mills passed the ball back to Schmeichel Jr.

"Oh......"

Schmeichel then played a big foot at the incoming ball and drove it into midfield.

After the ball flew into midfield, Ballack and Smith both jumped up for the ball, and it was the German who eventually got the ball.

Ballack headed the ball over to Essien next to him, who then passed it to Joe Cole in front.

As soon as Cole turned around, he was solidly put to the ground by Parker.

“du~”

The referee signalled for a foul and Joe Cole was tumbling on the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mills hurried to Schmeichel Jr. and told him.

"Don't worry, stabilize first, we can pass it on first, and then pass it forward when you find a good opportunity. You're too blind just now, and we're going to let our attack stall in midfield. ”

"Okay, okay......" Schmeichel Jr. could only nod.

"Think more about what your father and the leader said."

"Okay, okay......"

With that, Mills returned to his place.

After all, he is a veteran of Leeds United, and in Van der Sar's absence, Mills will need to shoulder the responsibility of commanding Leeds United's backline.

Originally, Woodgate could have done this, but today Woodgate was following Drogba closely according to George Lee's intentions and did not leave for a moment.

Frank Lampard drove the fouled midfield set-piece from Leeds United up front and thought of finding Drogba.

However, Drogba failed to reach the ball under Woodgate's interference, and the ball was confiscated by Schmeichel Jr., who was waiting in position.

Then Leeds United's young third goalkeeper was just trying to kick out when he suddenly saw a bald head on the right.

In the afternoon sun, it was a little reflective.

Schmeichel Jr. quickly realized that something was wrong, held the ball again, leaned over and rolled it to Mills.

Mills pushed the ball forward a bit, split it up to Milner, and then dropped back into his defensive position, to the right of the halfway line.

After seeing Leeds push the ball forward, Milner broke through to the line and then opted for a cross that was blocked by Ashley Cole's leg and Leeds won a corner.

Woodgate goes up into the opposition box to get involved.

Mills and Mathieson stayed at the back to defend as Mills turned and nodded at Schmeichel Jr.

But after seeing his position, he hurriedly spread his hands under him.

Schmeichel immediately knew that the manager had stressed many times at this time that when his players were attacking, the goalkeeper could get out of the penalty area appropriately, so that his team's defense could continue to rise.

It's just that as soon as he stepped out of the box, he found that Leeds United had scored.

After James Milner had driven the ball into the back of the net, Frenkie de Jong swooped in from the penalty spot and headed the unmarked corner into the Chelsea goal.

1 to 0.

After the goal, De Jong came to the camera, made a two-handed index finger to draw a square, then used his right hand as a pen and his left hand as a piece of paper, kept writing something, and then pretended to throw it at the camera.

When the Leeds United players who came behind saw it, they also imitated De Jong to make such a move, imitating the way they wrote, and then threw a note at the camera.

“Gooooooal!”

"Leeds scored first and De Jong came to the cameras after the goal......"

"What kind of action is this?"

'It seems to mean something, we've seen Leeds players make it......

The narrator of the game couldn't understand this action, and he couldn't explain anything to the audience in front of the TV, so he had to let the director cut the camera.

The camera changed to the Leeds United coach's box, and George Lee was constantly surrounded by other Leeds United players on the field, constantly talking about something.

There were a few substitute players who also made a gesture of writing towards George Lee.
