'My advice is to keep starting Casper, he's been playing well in the last two games.

The day before the Leeds United and Inter Milan matches, the Leeds United coaching staff was engaged in a heated discussion at the Leeds United hotel in downtown Milan.

Just now, Brian Kidd supported Schmeichel Jr. to continue the start, and in the two league games that Leeds United started, he won one and drew one.

In the last game, Schmeichel Jr. continued to start, while George Lee chose to hide most of the main players and prepare for the next five rounds of the Champions League group stage.

This game is crucial for Leeds United as they are now one point behind Inter Milan in the group and if they lose this game, they will have to be eliminated from the next round of knockout rounds.

Because Van der Sar has not recovered from his hand injury, but Scott Carson's flu has cured, it will be up to several coaches to discuss who will be the starting goalkeeper against Inter Milan.

'But Scott is the team's second goalkeeper after all, he's back now, there's no reason why we shouldn't let him play, he should play before Casper.' In the face of Kidd's words, Sheridan offered a different view.

"Whether his fitness has recovered, whether his form has recovered, it's all unknown." Kidd continues to push for Schmeichel Jr.

"Needless to say in terms of fitness, he must have recovered, and his position is that of goalkeeper, so there is not much demand for fitness." That's what strength and conditioning coach Colin McGee said, and it's clear he's also on the side of Carson.

'Supposedly, Schmeichel's characteristics help us more, he's good at blocking crosses. It was Chris Casper who spoke.

"What do you goalkeeper coaches say?"

Seeing that everyone was deadlocked, George Li asked two professionals and asked them to give their opinions.

"I just came."

"I'm out of suspicion."

Neither Martin nor Peter Schmeichel gave their own advice, and the question eventually returned to George Lee, who is the manager after all, and the final decision is in his hands.

"Uh......"

George Lee hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.

Scott Carson.

Although Carson is a year older than Schmeichel Jr., it has been three years since he came to the first team, and George Lee obviously thinks Carson is a little more reliable, even if Schmeichel Jr.'s career is better in later generations.

But in the current life-and-death game, George Lee still decided to choose Carson.

Hearing George Lee's decision, Schmeichel exhaled deeply.

Although he regretted that his son could not start, he still expressed his support, and if it was him, excluding his own son, he might also choose Carson.

While George Lee was faced with a choice, the Inter Milan manager was also faced with a choice today.

Unlike George Lee, it is because there is no one available, so he will be entangled in which substitute goalkeeper to choose. Mancini, on the other hand, was annoyed by the fact that there were too many players available.

This time, Roberto Mancini dropped vice-captain Cordoba to start at centre-back because of the last defeat, because the goal was so targeted, Leeds United took advantage of Colombia's lack of height to score the only goal of the game.

This time, Materazzi had already been placed on the blank board in front of Mancini at centre-back, but the choice of another centre-back left him uncertain.

It was Bourdisso or Samuel, Mancini picked up Bourdisso and put it down again; Pick up Samuel and guard it again.

The same position struggles also occurred at right wing-back, with Zanetti and McCone playing at the same time in the last game, but the right side did not play with an advantage, which forced Mancini to choose only one defender to start in this game.

As for the strikers, due to Adriano's inconsistent performance this season, Mancini can finally justifiably replace the Brazilian and then put Crespo in partnership with Ibrahimovic.

From a positional point of view, Mancini's tactics this time seemed to be different from the previous game against Leeds United, as he shrunk his two wing-backs to the middle.

Mancini watched Leeds United's match with Chelsea that day, and although Chelsea lost, Leeds United lacked countermeasures in addition to being able to stop Chelsea's wide attacks through fouls, destruction and harassment in the middle.

To put it bluntly, there is a lack of a real playmaker in the midfield.

Before, the wings could be opened, and the strikers could retreat. But now Van Persie is injured, the two Danish wingers are gone, and Smith can't play on the left.

It is definitely not enough to rely on one Graveson, and Graveson can only comb the attack from a little behind, and it is not good to really organize the attack in front of the penalty area.

Roberto Mancini put McCone's sign on the right wing-back, then picked up Zanetti's sign and put it on the right of the two centre-backs.

Although it looked similar to the last game against Leeds United, he decided to take a different approach this time.

On the left, Roberto Mancini also gave up on Figo's desire to start.

Grosso alone is not enough to prevent Leeds United, and if he plays Figo again, he may miss on the left side again.

So Mancini picked up the three cards of Stankovic, Vieira, and Cambiaso, and kept spinning in his hand.

Back to the Leeds United coaching staff.

After discussing the goalkeeper, Leeds now need to discuss the squad for other positions.

Due to recent injury changes, Leeds United have lined up several starting formations in the last series of games, and now against Inter Milan, the squad is no longer as full as last time, so it is important to think carefully about the selection of each position to avoid being targeted by opponents.

"It's still that question, whether Inter Milan's attack on the right side can we rely on a single Baines to defend, anyway, Thatcher can't count on it."

For the former Manchester City left-back who came to Leeds United this season, the experience was not good, during the period when Baines was absent, he faced the kind of extremely difficult role to deal with, so his sideline was also poor, and now George Lee would rather use Mathieson as a left wing-back than let Thatcher play.

"Is that still a back five?"

"That's not good, then our offense will be weak, we can't score goals, even if we draw with the opponent, the next game still depends on the face of others to advance, so we must win this game."

"Yes, if Bayern plays us along, we'll be finished."

"Let's focus on the one in front of you first." George Lee still brought everyone else's minds back to this game, and now it's a game to watch.

"My suggestion is still 433, four defenders at least we can attack and defend."

"That's right, that's right." Everyone agrees with Kidd that, at least for now, the team needs to fight and not shrink defensively.

I've tried a couple of games before, and the players are doing well but they don't feel comfortable kicking, and the younger Leeds coaching staff don't like the dead pace of the game.

"And what about the left side?"

George Lee put the four defenders in the backline of the blank board, and it was easy to solve the problem of who started the four defenders, but who would be the left winger was a problem.

There have been attempts to let Kuyt play this position before, but the effect is not obvious, and Kuyt's most suitable positions are still on the right and in the middle.

Kuyt himself has said he would rather play at right-back than as a left winger.

George Lee began to scan the signs with the names of the Leeds United players on them.
