After New Year's Day, Robin van Persie left Leeds United.

Originally, fans would have thought that Leeds United would have other reinforcements after letting Van Persie go, and would buy other stars to fill Van Persie's vacancy, after all, the team's attack is really not good this season.

This was directly reflected in the 22 rounds of the league away to Fulham. Leeds United's defence remained solid and did not concede a goal.

Offensively, it really doesn't feel fluid. The team continued to press high and pressed the frontcourt tactics, constantly putting pressure on the Fulham defence, but sometimes the ball was snatched, the opportunity was there, and the shot was shot, but it just couldn't score.

0 to 0.

It was the problems that came up immediately after going to Van Persie, just like at the beginning of the season when Van Persie was injured, and the team couldn't attack.

Fans can't help but miss the days after Robin van Persie's comeback in December, scoring in quick succession.

In fact, George Li knows the team's current problem, that is, in the three seasons since he came, he has adjusted the team's position many times and changed the position of the players.

Originally, Smith played as a striker, but he changed it to a midfielder, and then asked him to play on the left. Van Persie was originally playing on the left, first as a striker, then on the right.

There have been a lot of changes at the back, with three and four at the back.

When there are three backs, there will be three central defenders, and one central defender will be equipped with two full-backs in front.

After George Lee discovered the problem, he began to analyze it with Chris Casper for a whole day.

After the two of them went to work in the morning, they came to the video room with a few data analysts to dig out various videos and game analysis from this season and the second half of last season.

The focus is on the effect and data of the midfield combination of various players under different combinations, and strive to find the lineup planning for the second half of the season.

"How do you analyze this, last season we had Glenschal, we had Romerdal, we had Derwig, this season they are all gone." Casper analysed it and found that last season, when the attacking firepower was strong, the team had two serious wingers.

Then Casper began to scratch his head, feeling like the morning had been wasted

"Now we have it too, aren't Milner, Lennon, Arneson all of them?" George asked him.

"That's all on the right side, do you understand the right side?"

"You can try the left side as well, you can get the footage and the data of them playing on the left side."

"Can't you just get Tony Wilson to buy Robben right now so our problem on the left side is solved."

Leeds United's pursuit of Robben is already known throughout the Premier League.

Peter Pan was almost relegated to the bench at Chelsea and did not get enough playing time.

Although there are other Premier League teams that will be interested in Robben, such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, several strong companies have expressed their demand for Robben, but only Leeds United has actually made a comeback.

But Chelsea just don't let up here.

One is that Mourinho is not going to give Robben to his rivals now, even if he wants to use Robben as a substitute.

The other is that Chelsea are now waiting for an offer from Real Madrid, and if they want to compare the two sides, if the price is about the same, it must be more appropriate to sell to Real Madrid.

"I didn't say I was going to buy Robe to play on the left side." George Lee directly vetoed Casper's words.

"Then why did you buy it, as a left-back?" Casper was speechless.

"You don't care about this, you get a few of them out of the game on the left side."

George Lee chased Casper away and began to look through the video footage of each player's game by himself. George Lee has the advantage of watching a little bit of footage to remember the player's overall performance in that game.

The main reason is that George Lee has only been a dissatisfied head coach for three seasons, and if he is 60 years old, he probably won't think about it.

In the afternoon, George Li began to lead the team to train, looking at the faces of the players one by one, constantly placing a picture in his mind, and then putting the players up one by one to combine, trying to find the best starting lineup.

And then I just kept shaking my head.

"Otherwise, where else to buy a ready-made left-sided side......

Absent-mindedly leading the team to complete the training mission, George Li is ready to continue to go to the video studio to find Casper to study tactics.

"Coach, wait a minute."

George Lee was stopped halfway through and looked back to see that it was Alan Smith.

"Alain, what's wrong?"

Smith didn't immediately go back to the locker room to change clothes, but put a down jacket on top of his training uniform and came to George Lee's side.

Because he had just finished training, Smith's body was very hot, and he could still feel the heat from the corners of the down jacket after putting on the down jacket, which turned into water vapor and white smoke in the January temperature.

And along with the heat, there was also the thick smell of Smith's sweat.

"Coach, will there be reinforcements for the team, winter?"

"Why do you say that?" George Lee wondered how his captain could care about this.

'Because before every transfer window, you have to be ready, and we usually have reinforcements as soon as the window opens. But this time, it's been a few days since January 1st, and we still haven't moved, so I wonder if we don't have any reinforcements. ”

'Yes, a midfielder, but he's still very young and not in the squad, so I bought it for a while.

"So, the problem on the left side is still not solved?"

"Yes, Chris and I have been researching all morning, but ......"

"Coach, I'd better do it."

Before he could finish, Smith spoke his mind.

"Don't you dislike that location?"

'First of all I'm the captain of the team and I feel like I should be in the position where the team needs to be when the team needs it. Secondly, I think playing football is a job, and it should be decided by the company or the team, not by my personal intentions. ”

"Why do you think that, Alain?" Lee George asked Smith.

'Robin is gone, I remember when he came to the Netherlands on the left, when he came to the team, he became a centre-forward, and then he went to the right. It's all the changes you make, it's been successful every time, so since you let me play on the left, I think I can do it too. ”

"Alain, in fact, in my mind you are the most suitable position in the midfield, and even I think you can play a little bit further, even if you are a midfielder. But ......"

'But the team needs me to be on the left side now, right?'

"If I could, I hope so."

"Then I'll come before you find a better one." Smith looked at his coach steadfastly.

"Okay, let's go take a shower and watch out for a cold. And if it's too late, you'll miss the time to go to the nightclub with Leiden. ”

Smith shook his head.

"Robin is gone, and it's not fun to go to a nightclub. I want to have a girlfriend now, after all, I'm not too young. ”

"Really?" George Lee couldn't believe Smith would say that, "Is there anything you like?" ”

Seeing Smith's prodigal son turn around, ready to seek true love, George Lee was also more curious.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

Smith hurried away, not wanting to continue the conversation.

"Looks like so." George Lee was talking to himself as he walked into the office building, ready to talk to Casper about Smith's new tactical arrangements after he went to the left.

But when he saw Helen, who was sitting in the hall waiting for him.

Damn it!

Originally, I was going to go on a date today, because the problem on the left side of the team completely forgot about it.

George Li hurriedly shook his head at Helen, signaled that he was okay and could go, and then took out his mobile phone to call Casper.

"I've got it here, you can come up and have a look when you're done."

George Li couldn't speak, and after the phone was connected, Casper spoke first.

"I thought, no, I've found a solution." When he said this, George Lee was a little embarrassed.

"Did you buy a left-sided player?"

"No, I told Alain, and he agreed to go back to the left." George Lee blushed a little when he lied, but because it was a phone, Casper couldn't see it at all.

“Fxxk！ Didn't you say it sooner...... Shet, Water ...... The water spilled and my computer ......"

"Doodoo~"

Hearing the sound of hanging up on the other side, George Li put away his phone and put it in his pocket.

At this time, Helen happened to walk up to him and grabbed Lee's arm.

"Where are you going?" Helen asked Lee George.

"Okay, do you want to buy a bag?"

"What bag?" Helen wondered why she suddenly had to buy her a bag.

"Don't ask, just be happy."

Humming a nasty song, George Lee led Helen to the parking lot.
