0191 Nervous

Today, the stadium was a sea of white, and all the fans who came to watch the game, whether they were home fans or Newcastle fans, were presented with a baseball cap with the Leeds United logo printed on it.

It's just that Leeds United fans have worn it, while Newcastle fans have chosen not to wear it.

If you look closely, you can still find a few Manchester United fans in the stadium.

Of course, these fans are strong men who are not afraid of death, and they really can't buy tickets for Manchester United games, or they have been sent by fan groups to find out first-hand news of Leeds United games.

In short, it really takes courage to wear a Manchester United shirt to watch the game at the arch-rival Elland Road Stadium.

In the final league game, the FA was required to play two matches at the same time in order to ensure the fairness of the game.

So, when Leeds United stepped onto the pitch in the afternoon, the final battle began, and the opponent was not only Newcastle United, not only Manchester United, but also a challenge for Leeds United.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Brian Kidd cared for Lee George.

After that own goal three days ago, George Lee was asked by everyone on the coaching staff to take a good day off.

George Lee did not attend the training that afternoon, and it was Kidd who led the team.

Yesterday morning, the team had their last training session, and it was only then that George Lee appeared in front of the team in full spirit.

In the afternoon, the team had a holiday, the team rested at Thorpe Arch, and everyone was ordered to rest in the dormitory of the training ground.

In the last game, George Lee thought there was no room for error, and he couldn't guarantee that everyone in the team would be honestly at home at night. In that case, let's just live in the dormitory together.

On the morning of the game, the team gathered in the conference room after a brief training session and listened to George Li arrange the game tactics.

In the afternoon, the team took a bus to the Elland Road Stadium to play.

"I said I had a good night's rest, do you believe me?"

George Lee stared at the team's warm-up as he returned to Kidd's question, but he didn't turn around.

"Me didn't, I woke up at 3 o'clock today. After all, this is the closest I've come to a league title since I've arrived at Leeds. ”

"You're old and a light sleeper."

"Can you respect me?"

"Okay, you have a good rest tonight, and we won't bother you."

"You celebrate and want to leave me?"

"Let's win the championship first...... Brian, you keep an eye first, I'll go to the bathroom. ”

With that, George Lee handed the leftover bottle of mineral water to Kidd and ran into the players' tunnel himself.

"It's still like this, hehe......"

Kidd couldn't help but think of last season's League Cup final, when George Lee was like that.

^^^

After the start of the game, Leeds played a bit conservatively here.

Because the game started and they almost conceded a goal.

Woodgate continues to be sidelined due to injury, while Mathieson is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. Every game in the previous game was important, and George Lee completely forgot about the card for Mathieson, so Mathieson received the last yellow card in the last game and was banned.

Today's Leeds United centre-backs can only opt for a combination of Albchestenne and Glenqvist.

Despite his tall stature, he lacks a bit of agility.

This gives Newcastle a chance to strike today.

In the first two minutes of the game, Newcastle attacked on the left, and Dier crossed to Sibierschi in the middle.

The Frenchman found behind Glenqvist with a through ball and Owen slotted in the box with a diagonal cut.

Thankfully, Van der Sar was able to get the ball firmly in his hands when he struck in time.

In the 8th minute of the game, it was Newcastle's attack again.

Only this time it was on the right, Chilean Solano crossed from the right, and Albucheson made a header to leak the ball to the feet of Martins behind him.

Again, Van der Sar made the ultimate save when Martins shot from close range.

In the 12th minute of the game, Leeds United had a good attacking opportunity.

Gravison, who had returned from injury, suddenly burst forward with the ball and shook off the defending Nicky Bart. Kuyt, who had retreated, made a collision with the wall and fired a long-range shot over the crossbar.

George Li saw it very clearly off the field, the team as a whole was a little tight, and it was completely tense.

This is also understandable, after all, the final game of the league is still the game that decides the league championship, and it must be tense.

Let's just say that he, the coach, can't sleep all night, let alone the players.

"Hold off, don't rush."

George Lee shouted at the players on the field, hoping that they could regain a little bit of their previous form.

As for the two forwards here at Newcastle, George Lee can only take care of Parker to drop back a little to help defend.

After all, Owen and Martins are both speedy forwards, and Albchesten's and Glenqvist are a bit of a disadvantage against them.

It's just that the progress of the game is still not improving here.

Because they need to pay more attention to the opposition's two strikers in defence, Leeds United are a little worse in the midfield.

Bart and Sibierschi were able to play the ball calmly.

Parker wanted to go up and match up with his team-mates to press Newcastle in midfield, but immediately Newcastle split the ball and then went straight behind the Leeds United centre-back.

After two times, Parker honestly returned to the back of the seat, not daring to go out.

With 29 minutes to go, Casper came to George Lee and gently pressed into his ear.

'Manchester United scored.'

George Lee turned his head and looked at Casper with a serious expression.

Casper, on the other hand, hurried back to his seat after finishing speaking.

Then, George Lee felt the commotion of Leeds United fans in the stands behind him.

When I turned my head, I saw several Leeds United fans with mobile phones whispering to the fans around them.

It seems that the fans also know the news.

George Lee looked into the field again, staring at the players running and scrambling on the field.

"It's time for something to change." George Lee meditated in his heart.

Just when George Lee was still trying to figure out a solution, something changed on the pitch.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Newcastle striker Owen passed the ball away without any confrontation and suddenly twisted his foot and fell to the ground.

After being checked by the team doctor, Newcastle manager Roder decided to make a substitution.

Replace Owen with Ameobi.

After Li saw this substitution, he finally dared to boldly arrange tactics with confidence.

"Martin! Martin! ”

George Lee shouted at Albucheson and then made a "9" gesture to him, signaling him to defend Martins.

In this way, the new Ameobi handed over to Granqvist.

"Thomas, Alain~"

George Lee then called out the midfield core of both teams.

"Paced up, fast!"

Since I can't control the rhythm, then I'll speed up.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, George Lee also came to Milner, who was passing by.

"Give Lao Tzu a break through their left side, understand!"

After letting go of Mill, George Lee noticed that the Leeds United players on the pitch were all looking at him.

Place your hands in front of your chest and gently push forward.

Pressure!
