0170 Christmas Dinner
Leeds continued their unbeaten run in the league this week with a 0-0 draw at Liverpool and a 2-1 win at home to Arsenal at Elland Road. Here's a look at Leeds United's best performances in those two games......"
Several members of Leeds' coaching staff gathered in front of a huge screen in the restaurant at Thorpe Arch to watch the BBC broadcast the best of the Premier League.
Some of them had all kinds of liquor in their hands, and some of them had all kinds of food. Get together to watch TV shows and chat.
'I found out a problem that day, we've lost three games so far, and all of them have been in the cup. Chris Casper holds the fries and keeps stuffing them in his mouth.
That's right, Leeds United have lost three games this season, 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, 2-0 to Inter Milan, and just after being knocked out on penalties by Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup.
"That's right, if that's all you're a data analyst can see, then congratulations on your job as a BBC host, as he just said." Colin McGee is not going to miss any opportunity to attack Casper.
'Just because we didn't lose a lot doesn't mean we're playing well, because we won against Manchester United, we won against Chelsea, but we still trailed them in the league. John Sheridan said:
Now at the halfway point of the league, Leeds United are third with 41 points after 19 league games. It is preceded by Manchester United with 47 points from one more game and Chelsea with 43 points from one more round.
'It's just that if we win one game, we can overtake Chelsea and move to second place.' McGee said.
But Casper said, shaking his grease-stained fingers from eating fries.
'Except for the defeat against Inter, we didn't concede more than two goals in any of the other games.
Everyone thought about it, and it is true that Leeds United have conceded very few goals this season. Not to mention winning, even if it is a draw, it is mostly 1-1 or 0-0.
"Looks like we're still okay defensively, isn't it?" Brian Kidd said:
"But there are still two problems, one is that we don't attack enough, although we didn't lose but drew too much, our attacking tactics are still a little lacking......"
George Lee's voice came from behind, and then he continued.
"And I'd like to see us not concede a single goal."
George Lee was joined by Peter Schmeichel and Alf Haaland.
The two coaches will leave Leeds United after Christmas to start their managerial careers in Denmark and Norway. They were just talking to the senior management of the team about some matters, some formalities.
"Is this your New Year's resolution?" Kidd picked up a drink and handed it to Lee.
"Hehe~" Everyone laughed.
At this time, Casper saw Erling Haaland behind the elder Haaland and went up to hug him.
"Erlin, you're going back to Norway with your father, and I won't see you again."
"Hehehe, I'll come back to Leeds when I grow up, and then I'm going to come to Leeds United and eat all the Premier League defenders...... Hehehe, itchy~"
Haaland Jr. was itched by Casper's face and kept dodging, but was hugged tightly by Casper.
Today's Leeds United Christmas dinner was held in the canteen at the training ground, where almost all the club members came.
Originally, this dinner was supposed to be held before Christmas, but because of the continuous game conflict, it has been delayed until now.
On the evening of December 28, everyone came to the cafeteria of the training ground and the hall outside.
And the food for the dinner party is also a variety of fried fish, pizza, hamburgers and other high-calorie foods that Li Mike promised before. Of course, other food and drinks are also included.
Due to the large number of people who came, two huge tents were later erected on the two training grounds at the entrance for everyone to participate.
First-team players, youth team players, coaches, staff, team management and family members came to the Thorpe Arch training ground to attend this grand Christmas feast.
Among them, the stars of the first team became the most eye-catching group of people before the official start of the dinner, especially the likes of Smith, Van Persie and others, and were surrounded by young players and other family members, asking for autographs, group photos, chats and the like.
Edmondson of the youth team finally had his turn and had Danny Rose take a picture of himself with Van Persie with his camera.
After taking a group photo, he took the initiative to hug his idol.
"I wish you all the best at Real Madrid."
"Thank you."
Despite all the reluctance, Edmondson still said goodbye to his idol with tears, and he tried to restrain himself from tears.
I thought that in the next season or two, I would have the opportunity to play with my idol after being transferred to the first team. But now the dream is shattered, and when they meet on the field again, the two are rivals.
The captain of the team, Smith, was also a lot of people, taking photos and asking for autographs.
Van Persie looked at Smith, and Smith noticed Van Persie's gaze.
With his hands free, he raised his glass towards Van Persie.
"Robin is gone, it's no fun to go to a nightclub alone in the future, you should talk to a girlfriend." Smith thought to himself, a little lonely.
Then Smith left the crowded place and began to see if there were any young girls he could meet.
As I walked, I saw a girl sitting in a seat at the door of the bathroom. The girl has pure short hair, very fair skin, and is playing with her fingers with her head down.
Smith couldn't help but be a little moved, and met hot girls in nightclubs with Van Persie all day, and this time he could finally change his taste.
The Leeds United captain stepped forward quickly and walked up to the girl.
"Excuse me......"
As soon as Smith spoke, he saw the girl quickly stand up, walk up to a boy, and take the boy's arm.
The boy glanced at Smith and immediately shouted, "Captain! ”
"Oh, Charlotte." Smith recognized it as his teammate, Charlotte Black.
"How did you get here?"
"I'd like to ask this young lady, where is the bathroom?"
"That's the back, you don't know the bathroom in the training ground?"
"A little too much to drink, a little too much......"
"Be careful, do you need me to help you in?"
"No, no......" Smith quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"Alright then, let's go, Wendy." After saying that, Charlotte took her girlfriend's hand and left.
Smith looked at the young man and woman, and muttered, "It's good to be young." ”

In an open space in the training ground, a large makeshift stage was erected, and almost everyone came to the clearing.
The lights above the stage are very bright, similar to the lighting of the stadium, so there is no need to add other lighting effects at night, and it is already able to make everyone in the audience see the stage clearly.
Standing on the stage were the team's president, Mike Lee, and general manager, Tony Wilson.
The duo will present prizes to some of the club's players, staff, and a raffle for all guests.
"It's now up to our head coach George Lee to present this year's Most Popular Coach Award, everyone is welcome."
All the audience applauded, and they liked this Oscar-like show very much.
George Lee, dressed in a Leeds United puffer jacket, came to the stage with an envelope.
He didn't say much about the opening remarks, just opened the envelope and began to read: "The winner of this year's Most Popular Coach Award is...... Chris Casper! ”
"Woohoo~"
An excited Casper came to the stage, holding a small trophy, and spoke into the microphone.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me for receiving this award......"
"Cut~"
The coaching staff and players on the pitch were heckling because they knew that the award was given to Casper. One is because the team's head coach George Lee offered to be the guest of honor and withdraw from the selection, and the second is because Casper canvassed for votes everywhere during voting.
Casper on the stage was not only not ashamed, but defiantly raised the trophy high.
"Cut~"
The coaxing was louder below.
