0251 Turkish Kebab
After coming to February, Leeds United, under the leadership of George Lee, once again began to play at a pace of constantly changing tactics.
On 2 February, they beat Birmingham City 3-1 away in a game in which George Lee fielded a midfield combination of Barry, Barton and Smith.
A week later, Leeds United hosted Tottenham from London, this time using a midfield trio of Barton, Pederson and Smith. It's just that the effect is not ideal, the team was out of control in the midfield, and Tottenham found a chance to score the equalizing goal.
The two teams ended up with a score of 1-1.
Again, another week passed, this time due to the impact of the national team game, in order to avoid the player's re-injury, George Lee used a combination of Milner, Barton and Pederson while hiding Smith and Barry.
Judging from the result, it was a success, as Leeds United pressed Wolves to the ground at home for 90 minutes, and the final score was 3-0. It's just that the team's defensive effect in the midfield did not satisfy George Lee, and this game was completely Leeds United through the non-stop bombardment of two wings, helping Kevin Davies complete the brace.
Of course, there is also the takeaway from the three games, that is, George Lee can temporarily confirm the midfield trio for the next two games by trying three different midfield combinations.
The next two games are more important games.
One was the Champions League round of 16 match in Istanbul, Turkey, where Leeds United drew Fenerbahce in the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
The other is the Carabao Cup final against Tottenham, which will be played three days after the Champions League.
Therefore, George Lee will have to find a solution in midfield in the previous three games.
Luckily, he has already decided on a candidate for the Champions League match.
After the game against Wolves, George Lee gave the team a day off, and he himself left for Turkey after handing over the team to Sheridan.
He was accompanied by George Lee's father, brother and two adopted sons. So their means of transportation is Mike Lee's private jet.
"Why do you have so much to do, you have to do something new." As soon as Mike Lee got off the plane, he said to his younger brother.
Because George Li came to Turkey this time to see Fenerbahce's overall plan, he saw that Fenerbahce Club is most famous for football, but the club is also active in basketball, volleyball, rowing and other fields.
He began to think a little bit else.
"I'll just take a look, anyway, the team is on vacation today, so it's better to take the time to come here first to see the customs." George Lee got into the car he had prepared in advance and was ready to take him around Fenerbahce's Saraggio Stadium.
Wallace and Olson were taken directly to the city by Lee Jim.
"Did you say Leeds basketball got up? Is volleyball a good idea? Lee Mike continued to chatter, and he didn't think the team needed to do those sports.
If it is said that Li Mike has to listen to George Li in terms of football professionalism, but Li Mike is still confident in doing business.
"You see, aren't the two Nordic clubs running well, and isn't Brian also operating in North America?"
George Lee directly retorted, saying that now is the time to expand the team's influence in order to gain a head start in an increasingly globalized commercial football.
"And what do you want to do this time?"
"Esports."
βE...... E-sportsοΌ "Li Mike was stupid by George Lee's blow.
"Yes, we only need football for serious sports, we don't have the same background as Real Madrid and Barcelona to play basketball, we can only make a fuss about some emerging sports."
"How do you get this?"
"You just get a house near the training ground, the big one, put more computers in it, get some young people who are good at playing games and make them professional players, and go to some big esports competitions."
"And then?"
"Then you put the name of the company, the logo of the team on the jersey as an advertisement......"
George Lee didn't finish speaking, and Michael Lee knew what he was going to say. "That's right, that's right. It's a lot less investment than football, but it's obviously more prestige, and our visibility among young people can be greatly increased. You're such a genius. β
After finishing speaking, Li Mike hugged Li George.
"We don't have to look at it, we'll talk about it when Tony comes. Just leave it to us and you just play the Champions League. β
"Okay!"
"Now, though, we have one thing to do first."

The next day, the Leeds United players flew to Istanbul and Lee George for the round.
In the first training session after the assembly, George Lee prepared a surprise for the players.
"Yesterday our Mr. President invited me to an authentic Turkish kebab."
As soon as George Lee finished speaking, some of the team's players protested, and the "active" elements of the team led by Smith began to attack their head coach, saying: "Boss, can you take us with you, I promise not to go to the nightclubs in Turkey." β
George Li ignored him, but continued to tell them: "The taste is quite good, and it is not at the same level as what I eat in the UK." Also, the dessert here is also very nice......"
Hearing this, the players became more lively, and not just Smith, almost all the players began to condemn their manager. Compared to barbecue, dessert is something that players encounter relatively rarely.
George Lee stretched out his hand for the players to stop, then continued: "If you can win Fenerbahce, I'll ask our chairman to take over the restaurant and we'll go back to Leeds after we've eaten there." I promise you won't be stopped from eating barbecue and desserts. β
"Woohoo~"
"Great!"
"Kill the Turks!"
The reaction of the players was different this time, and they looked at George Li as if they were seeing barbecue and dessert.

In the box at the Saraggio Stadium, Olsen is feasting on a Turkish kebab.
When Li Mike saw his eldest nephew eating like this, he asked a little curiously, "Carl, what's the matter with you?" β
"Woo~" Olsen first swallowed the contents of his mouth hard, then wiped his mouth casually, and then said, "I didn't eat it yesterday." β
"Didn't you and Sean go out for a day by ourselves yesterday, and the streets were full of barbecue, so you can't eat it, right?"
"Woo~" Olsen kept gesturing something, but what was in his mouth really prevented him from speaking.
Wallace, who was still sitting on the side, told the truth for Olsen.
"We wanted to buy barbecue to eat, but because Carl was wearing a Leeds United team jacket, they wouldn't sell it to us."
"Oh~"
The other people sitting in the box understood, and this matter was already said.
The main thing is to learn from the European feud between Leeds United and Galatasaray, while several of Turkey's main teams, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas, are based in Istanbul.
