0273 Trivia

After the first leg of the Champions League tie with Chelsea, Leeds United played the 33rd round of the league against Everton non-stop.

Even if Leeds United is not in a complete squad now, even if Everton has played well this season and is now ranked 6th. But it was still a slaughter, and Leeds United won the "Toffees" with a clean 4-0 away game.

In the handshake session after the end, George Lee could clearly feel that Moyes's hand was very strong, who made Leeds United not know how to converge at this time, with only 5 rounds left after this round of league play, every point is particularly important now, and every goal difference is particularly important.

There was also a dramatic scene in the game.

With the 87th minute played, Alan Smith, who had just been on the pitch for a short time, dribbled into the box after receiving a pass from Barry.

When he came to the penalty spot, he fell to the ground after making physical contact with the opposite Everton central defender.

When George Li saw this scene, his heart suddenly hung in his throat.

If Smith gets injured again at this time, the game against Chelsea will be over in a few days. Because of Parker's red card suspension and Barton's injury, Leeds United's midfield is already unavailable.

Smith's comeback could have alleviated the situation a little, so in the 80th minute of today's game, George Lee asked Smith to go up a little to find his form.

But now Smith is rolling on the ground with his ankles in his hands, which really makes George Li feel a little weak.

However, the drama happened, when everyone here at Leeds was worried about Smith, and the referee actually came into the box after blowing a stoppage.

Instead of signaling a foul and a penalty, he came to Smith's side and motioned for him to get up.

Seeing that his little trick was seen through, Smith simply stopped pretending and quickly got up from the ground.

"Damn, pretend?"

George Lee and all the members of the Leeds United coaching staff couldn't help but shout.

Seeing that Smith was shown a yellow card by the referee, George Lee believed that this was actually true.

Smith smiled awkwardly at the referee before waving his hand at the Leeds United coaching staff on the pitch to indicate that he was not injured and could continue playing.

"I really didn't expect Alain to play such a clever trick."

After George Lee saw that Smith was indeed fine, he turned back to the coach's box and continued to sit and watch the game.

Leeds United fitness coach Colin McGee, who was sitting on the side, took George Lee's words and continued: "He obviously just recovered from injury and didn't dare to make a move, he must have hit the door before he did it. ”

"Then why did he play fake falls?" McAllister asked.

"I guess it's to entertain the atmosphere." George Lee replied.

"Entertainment?"

"Yes."

Although several assistant coaches in the Leeds United's coaching bench think it is unlikely, but looking back and thinking about it, it can only be this reason, otherwise it is relatively rare for a player with a character like Smith to make a fake fall that violates sportsmanship.

After the game, in an interview with reporters, Smith was also asked about the fake fall.

The Leeds captain was also embarrassed, saying: "When I was injured, I watched some game footage and learned some new technical moves. ”

Smith was a little embarrassed when he said this, but as the interview progressed, he began to talk more and more.

'But I found that my technique didn't suit me and I won't fake any more falls, at least not in the second leg against Chelsea.'

However, the reporter immediately reminded him that the next game is the semi-final of the FA Cup, not the second leg of the Champions League.

"Ah, is it?" Smith could only mess around.

As soon as he reached the players' tunnel, Smith was surrounded by his teammates.

"Captain, it turns out that you can also fake falls."

"Captain, you weren't honest when you were recuperating from your injuries, and you actually watched that kind of video."

Smith chased away his teammates: "Go, go, I lied to those reporters, how can this really be the case." ”

As a result, as soon as Smith broke away from the encirclement of his teammates, he was immediately stopped by the team's first assistant coach, Sheridan.

"Alain, do you know how many yellow cards you've had?"

"What?" For a moment, Smith couldn't figure out what the coach meant.

"Just now Chris looked at the record and your next FA Cup semi-final will be suspended because you have accumulated yellow cards, so ......"

"Holy!" Smith, who learned the news, was completely stunned, and his confident comeback would turn out like this.

In fact, if you want to blame yourself, you have to do something fake during the game, and now you can only swallow the bitter fruit if you make it like this.

"Isn't the boss angry?" Smith asked Sheridan quietly.

"It's okay, he's still dealing with another thing."

"What's the matter?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"I'm the captain, I can get to know it properly." Being said by Sheridan instead ignited Smith's gossip heart.

The two walked and talked like this, and when they passed around the corner, they saw George Lee talking to Charlotte Black there.

"It turns out that the Boss and Charlotte are talking." Smith thought.

Although he really wanted to go up and eavesdrop, he couldn't stand Sheridan on the side, he didn't dare to be so blatant.

"Does it really have no effect?"

George Lee stood in the corner and asked Blake, his tone quite serious.

The reason is that George Lee learned through Helen that Blake was in a cold war with his girlfriend Wendy recently, and the two young people had not been in touch for a long time after they quarreled because they didn't know anything.

Wendy goes to Helen, who tells George Lee about it.

Originally, George Li thought that this matter would have no impact, but he found that Blake's performance in the field today was not very good, and he was distracted many times in the game.

Although the team won the game by a large score in the end, there is no guarantee that this situation will happen in the next games, and the consequences will be serious.

"No, sir." Blake replied honestly to George Lee.

"Then why are you not in shape today, the whole person is in a mess, and I have been distracted several times during the game, you know ......"

George Li kept counting his future brother-in-law.

It stands to reason that Blake is a very mature young man, and his mentality has always been very stable, so why is he so abnormal today.

"Wendy said she was going to watch the game today, but it was away and I wanted to see where she was, I was afraid she would ......," Blake said, "and she came alone. ”

George Li slapped his forehead, thinking that he was really worrying about it.

"Now give you the day off, you go find Wendy and send her back, OK?"

"Okay."

"Then, you do it again in the next game, you try it......" George Lee gave Blake an ultimatum.

"No, no." Blake hurriedly waved his hand.

Just as Blake was about to go to change his clothes and leave, George Lee stopped Blake again.

"So, you're reconciled, aren't you?"

"Yes."

George Li hurriedly shook his hand, and then he hurried to go.

"What a scramble." George Lee complained about Helen, who was far away in Birmingham.

At the same time, he also wants to take all the uncertainties out of the game before the game against Chelsea, so that everyone in the team can focus on the game.
