0187 Four encounters
George Lee returned to his home and saw his home's clock by the light of the street lamp outside.
11.45pm London time.
The car keys and house keys were thrown on the shoe cabinet at the door, and he dragged his tired body straight upstairs.
"Whew~"
When I got to my room, I went straight to the bed. As soon as I kicked my shoes, I didn't take off my clothes, I didn't cover the quilt, and I just fell asleep.
"Ah sneeze~"
After I don't know how long I slept, George Li finally woke up from freezing.
When I picked up my phone, I saw that it was only 3:30.
I realized that I couldn't sleep like this, I was going to catch a cold.
He decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower and then go back to sleep.
Turn on the faucet and let the water in the shower sit for a while while the hot water comes out. George Lee washed his face with cold water at the washstand to sober himself up a little.
Pick up a handful of water in your hand and stir it up in your face.
George Lee glanced up in the mirror.
"Ah~"
He let out a scream, immediately startled by what he had just seen.
Because what he sees in the mirror is not himself, but the figure of Tottenham manager Martin Jol.
He quickly shook his head and looked in the mirror again. In the mirror, there is only George Lee himself, and there is no Martin Joel.
"Hell yes!" He muttered to himself, and George Li then went to take a shower.
The hot water kept pouring on Li's body along the shower, which should have been a very comfortable feeling, but George Li now felt cold all over.
If nothing else, I was just scared by the figure in the mirror.
After that, George Li, who returned to the bed, had no sleepiness at all, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and his mind was still full of the same moment just now.
Why is Martin Joel there?
Because tomorrow's Europa League quarter-finals will be the fourth meeting between Leeds United and Tottenham in nearly a month.
First, in the 30th round of the league, Leeds United won 3-1 away; Then came the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, where Leeds United won 2-1 at home; This was followed by the FA Cup, where Leeds United were knocked out 1-0 by Tottenham.
In short, George Lee has been studying the tactics of playing against Tottenham in recent games, has been coaching and playing with Tottenham on the pitch, and has been shaking hands with Martin Joel after the game.
Tomorrow's game against Tottenham will be very important.
George Lee still couldn't sleep and decided to try the legendary sheep method.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...... Seven Martin Joel, eight Martin Joel......
George Li lifted the quilt and sat up.
Don't sleep!
^^^
"Ah~"
On the White Hart Lane Stadium, George Lee stood in front of the coach's box, his hand covering his mouth and yawning.
In the early hours of this morning, I didn't fall asleep, but just squinted on the bus for a while.
The effect is there, at least the brain is a little clearer; The effect is not too obvious, because it is still yawning.
has been compared for 3 games, and both sides already know the roots, and they can't hide anything at all.
George Lee even feels he knows more about Tottenham than he knows about his own team.
I don't know how many tactical meetings have been spent with his assistants studying Tottenham.
George Lee glanced at Tottenham's dugout, and when he saw Martin Jol's figure, a shiver came up. Once again, it was quite the same as last night's incident, and George Li quickly shook his head, wanting to forget about it.
Both sides are holding their breath and want to win the game. The first is that the winner can advance to the last four and challenge for the UEFA Cup title. More importantly, it can greatly boost morale and prepare for the next sprint in the league.
Leeds United want to win the league title, while Tottenham want to finish in the top six and enter the European competition.
Leeds United started today, with Edwin van der Sar, Charlotte, Albchesten, Mathieson, Baines, Parker, Frenkie de Jong, Smith, Kuyt, Pederson and Davies.
Gravison was injured in the previous game and will be out for some time. Mills, on the other hand, was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
Woodgate, on the other hand, had an old problem, and his thigh muscles were strained again.
George Lee withdrew Smith to the middle of the pitch out of a commitment to midfield, opting for Pederson on the left.
There were other options, but he was ready to defend and hold on to a one-goal lead. As long as you don't lose, you can advance to the top 4.
"I really want the game to end early, I just don't want to shake hands with Martin Joel." George Lee continued to yawn and said to his assistants.
"Huh~" Chris Casper took a can of coffee and handed it to George Lee, which Li took care of Casper to buy at the vending machine just now.
"Tons and tons of tons~" George Li drank the whole can of coffee in one go, and then continued to say to the other assistant coaches and substitutes, "I even know how many calluses he has on his right hand now." ”
"How many?" Casper just likes to get to the bottom of things.
"Did you know that I was in the bathroom last night......"
George Li almost told the horror story of last night, but after thinking about it, he forgot it, after all, he was okay and kept thinking about a man, which always gave people an abnormal feeling.
"What happened to you in the bathroom last night? Have diarrhea? Brian Kidd asked with concern, and he could see that George Lee's face was a little abnormal today.
"Almost, constipation."
In the end, George Lee still didn't choose to tell the truth.
Then, he tried to focus on the field, I don't know if it was the coffee or the game that made him nervous, but he wasn't sleepy now.
After the opening, Tottenham took the initiative here, and Jenas controlled the rhythm of the Spurs midfield in midfield with the cooperation of Huddlestone. Keep passing the ball to Robbie Keane and Defoe in front of him, or Malblanc and Tynio on the wing.
But Tottenham still have that problem, and they can't open up on the wings.
Keane and Defoe were firmly watched by Leeds United's two centre-backs and midfielder Parker, with no chance of running out of the open space.
Then Jenas had no choice but to play the ball wide and look for an opportunity.
However, Malblanc and Tynio are too poor to break through, and it can be said that Leeds United and their opposite Baines and Charlotte Blake are a little better than them.
Charlotte is now the new favorite of Leeds United fans, and there is a faint sense of surpassing Smith.
After getting more opportunities to play, Charlotte's strength is becoming more and more surprising.
Not only is the wing decisive and physical, but he can also be involved in attack, and as a full-back he has three assists this season.
If three assists weren't impressive, those two goals were arguably the best of the attacking firepower among the full-backs. Not to mention that Charlotte has been off the bench for most of the time.
Not only that, but the lad is also handsome. The way he pretended to be after the goal was simply not too much to the Leeds United fans, who are said to be the most fanatical in England.
Malblanc received the ball from Jenas and tried to break through Charlotte.
The Frenchman got off to a start, but Charlotte took a step back from the original distance and continued to defend the front against Malblanc.
Malblanc broke through and found that he couldn't get rid of his opponent, so he stopped and thought about changing his ways.
But Charlotte didn't want to give him a chance.
You stop, then I'll come up.
A step forward with his right foot blocked Malblanck's path to the touchline and forced the Frenchman into the middle.
But Parker has already made up for it in the middle.
Because there is still De Jong in the midfield position today, Parker can calmly go to the wing to make up for the defense, without worrying about the vacuum in front of the defensive line.
As soon as Malblanc wanted to go to the middle, he saw Parker and quickly dunked the ball back to the left with his right foot.
But Charlotte waited for him.
With his right foot stretched out again, the ball was broken.
After breaking the ball, Charlotte didn't care about Malbranke, who fell to the ground, and pushed forward directly.
