0226 It doesn't feel like anymore

After Leeds United's win over Reading, Leeds United once again started their unbeaten run.

Most of the games ended in wins, with the exception of a surprise 0-0 draw at home to Fulham in the 10th round of the league after Reading.

In the 11th, 12th and 13th rounds of the league, they won Everton, Aston Villa and West Ham United respectively, and most of the main players won in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup.

What's even more gratifying is that in the Champions League, Leeds United's first four group stage games ended in wins. The 12-point group tops the table and also qualified for the group two rounds early.

may indeed be the reason why the opponents are relatively weak, George Li still led the team to kill in all competitions with high morale despite the team's large-scale injuries.

It's just that in Leeds United's injury list, Parker, Albchesten, and Kevin Davis have been added.

Fortunately, George Lee's new 352 formation was designed to deal with injuries and worked well, and he was constantly refining this formation and tactics while the team won.

Perhaps because Helen was studying in other places, George Lee didn't have to find time to go on dates, and had more time to think about his arrangement.

No, before the 14th round of the league, the whole Leeds United team should have taken a holiday to rest at home, after all, the team had just flown back from the Czech Republic after the match against Slavia Prague. The team decided to wait for a day off before training for the next round of Premier League highlights.

It's just that George Li can't stay at home, and after he sent his two sons to the team for training, he came to the conference room.

The conference room was cleaned by the cleaning of the training ground, and the floor could be said to be spotless.

In contrast, the whiteboard is still painted in a mess. It can be said that apart from the members of the Leeds United coaching staff, no one will understand.

George Lee first took down the chess pieces representing the players one by one and put them in the slot below, and then picked up the whiteboard to erase everything written on it.

After doing all this, he didn't continue the movement, but pinched his chin with two fingers and began to think.

Until there is a knock on the door to the conference room, and Sean Wallace and Carl Olson walk in, Wallace with a cup of coffee in his hand and Olson with two paper bags in his hand.

Wallace walked over and put the coffee on the table, and Olson placed the paper bag on the table in the same way. The difference is that Olson still has a paper bag in his hand.

"Go ahead, I'll take you back after training, maybe I'll be able to watch you train sooner rather than later."

George Li took a sip of coffee and said to his two adopted sons.

When the two lads heard this, they turned and left.

When George Lee saw them leave, he opened the paper bag and took out a sandwich.

This was brought to him by George Lee after asking Wallace and the two of them to go to the restaurant for breakfast first, a simple sandwich and coffee. They usually choose to go out early to have breakfast at the training ground when they have training, and even at home they usually don't cook much, and they are regular customers at Charles's fried fish restaurant during meals.

It's just that George Lee doesn't eat fried fish much.

Holding a sandwich in one hand, he began to fiddle with chess pieces and doodle with the other.

It is especially important to note that the pawn that George Lee used as an opponent today is blue.

On 24 November, the weather in Yorkshire was not very good in the afternoon.

Outside the Elland Road stadium, there were fans with umbrellas, but the drizzle didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the Leeds United fans.

Most of the Leeds United fans in white jerseys jumped into the stadium singing the team anthem.

George Lee stood on the sidelines in a trench coat and watched the Chelsea players warming up on the pitch.

There are familiar players like John Terry, Frank Lampard and those who have just arrived at Chel this season, like Benheim, Sidwell, Belletti, who are all starters today.

Even more unfamiliar is Chelsea's manager, Israeli Avran Grant.

A head coach who has coached the Israeli national team for many years came to Portsmouth last year to become the team's head of football, partnering Harry Redknapp.

A season later, he moved to Chelsea as head of football.

Just two months later, he succeeded Jose Mourinho as the team's manager.

George Lee knows that this Grant is destined not to succeed Mourinho. But what to say about today's game, George Lee is unsure.

After all, although Mourinho is gone, the cards left for Grant are still okay.

The squad is indeed at the top level of the Premier League, and Leeds United are now suffering from serious injuries. It was Chelsea who did end their unbeaten streak.

It was Liverpool who ended the unbeaten run before, and I don't know what Grant's level is compared to Benitez this time.

At the start of the game, Chelsea kicked off first, and Shevchenko received the kick-off ball and immediately returned the ball to Sidwell, who wore the Chelsea No.9 shirt but played in midfield.

Now all the Premier League teams have learned to be good, and when they kick off against Leeds United, they must not pass the ball too deeply, otherwise it is really difficult to pass the ball out.

So Sidwell opted for a cross and passed it to Frank Lampard on the wing.

Frank Lampard took the ball and looked behind his left to wait for Ashley Cole to get in and distribute it to his England team-mates.

Seeing that Kerr had started to move forward, he was ready to pass the ball.

It's just that his pass was unsuccessful, and as soon as he raised his foot, he was knocked to the ground by a man who rushed out from the side.

“du~”

The referee whistle was decisive and gave a foul directly.

It's not a big move, it's just a foul, and the game has just started, so there's no need to draw cards.

Because it was just kick-off, the players from both sides had not yet entered the state, so after Leeds United fouled here, there were no Chelsea players around.

Lampard got up and finally saw the man who had fouled him.

White jersey, number 17. It's an old enemy.

Today, Alan Smith was deployed in front of the two central midfielders by George Lee, and moved to his preferred central midfielder position. It is because Sneijder has not yet recovered, and there are more players on the wing, but the position of central midfielder is relatively lacking, so Smith finally got what he wanted.

Not to mention the fact that the opponent was Frank Lampard for a few days, and Smith was in a state of excitement from the start.

It was a dismiss to Lampard.

After the opening of the game, the two sides were relatively tight, and there was no big open and closed attack, they were all testing each other.

After more than ten minutes of probing, it was Leeds United who attacked first.

Leeds pushed the ball into midfield and were met by a Chelsea tight defence, with Joey Barton opting to bypass the centre-back and pass the ball straight to Van der Sar who came to the edge of the box.

Chelsea's newly contracted defence was immediately saved, giving Leeds a chance here.

Van der Sar wasn't used to playing like this before, but the manager couldn't help it, and after a few seasons, he got used to it.

A big foot was looking for the wing, this time on the right side of the Chelsea defence.

Because Ashley Cole on the left is really difficult to deal with, Leeds United mainly attacked the right side of Chelsea after the opening.

Belletti faced Bale on the left side of Leeds United today, and he really couldn't keep up.

Van der Sar passed directly behind Belletti, who watched Bale pass him step by step from behind, and then catch up with the ball to kill near the baseline.

After a few games, Bale found himself preferring to play on the left.

He is good at his left foot, but he can also kill the goal directly on the left side.

Who said that you have to go backwards to cut in, Bale feels that he can still play well on the left side.

Since the premise of the position, Bale has found that the left-back he used to play was really in the wrong position, that is, he should play as a winger, that is, he should be closer to the opponent's goal to be interesting.

In fact, Bale is also cautious, and he finds that if he goes to the right side, he can only be used as a substitute for Robben, because the effect of the two is basically the same.

But it's different on the left, the captain of the team, Alan Smith, has always wanted to go back to the middle, as long as the captain returns to the middle, the left side will have the surname "Bey" sooner or later.

Bale shook off Belletti and swept the ball straight into the box on the edge of the Chelsea box.

In order to avoid the attacking goalkeeper, Bale's cross was positioned further back, towards the penalty spot.

Kuyt and Terry were entangled for a long time, and seeing that they couldn't shake off each other, they simply chose to leak the ball through.

Benheim at the back post did not play well in the Community Shield of the two teams, and Leeds United found a loophole from him to score a goal to win.

This time he still doesn't have a long memory, probably forgetting the fear of being dominated by Leeds.

Didn't look at Arneson who he should have been staring at.

Arneson falls to the ground before Benheim shoots.

The ball wasn't very fast, but the angles were tricky.

Chelsea goalkeeper Joud Cudicini made the first save and headed the ball to his right.

But they forgot that there was one person who was the best at grabbing the second point.

Kuyt, after conceding the ball, did not forget to run towards the goal, and finally seized the opportunity.

Firmly stuck behind Terry and poked the ball into the back post.

1 to 0.

Leeds United took the lead.

After George Li saw the goal, he silently recited in his heart: "Mourinho is gone, there is no such feeling." ”
