0275 Last train
"Here's your cupboard, it's always empty."
In the dressing room at the Leeds United training ground, strength and conditioning coach Colin McGee pointed to a cabinet with the number 19 on it and pointed to the players on the side.
"Okay." The player nodded, looking very nervous.
"Relax, Fabrice." McGee patted the lad on the shoulder and continued, "There are a lot of young people like you in the team and I'm sure you'll get along well. ”
"Yes, I've known a few of them."
"yes, you've been training with the reserves, Danny and Gilvy you know each other, right?"
"That's right."
'That's great, and I think the rest of the squad is looking forward to seeing you as well, Fabrice.'
This player is none other than Fabrice Muamba, who moved to Leeds United at the beginning of the season, but he was diagnosed with a heart problem shortly after the transfer and has been undergoing treatment.
After half a year of treatment, he is now fully recovered.
Since last month, he has been training and playing with the reserve team, and in the upcoming Premier League finale, George Lee decided to give the black guy a chance.
Muamba put his things in the locker, and then kept touching the locker with his name written on it.
After rubbing for a while, Muamba began to change into training clothes and prepare to enter the training ground.
McGee, who was on the side, was also very satisfied after seeing the young man's performance.
When Muamba arrived at the training ground, he saw his teammates and coaches waiting for him.
The players had just finished a training session, and all the players were sitting on the lawn drinking and chatting, but as soon as they saw Muamba coming out, they immediately started to line up.
George Lee waited for Muamba to come to him and then began to say to all the players: "Let's welcome our last player of the season, Fabrice M'amba. ”
"Papapa~"
Everyone began to clap their hands excitedly, and those who had good things even began to whistle.
George Lee waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, he still had something to say.
"Fabrice is almost back in the game, I want to get him up and play two kicks in the final round of the league, what do you think?"
"Give him my place." Before Bell could finish speaking, Bell took the initiative to raise his hand to grab the words.
However, he was immediately caught by the captain Smith on the side and rubbed his neck.
"Gareth, you idiot, you're a midfielder, not a wide player."
Seeing the two fighting, even the other Leeds players on the side joined in, and they all started to give Bale a light kick or a kick or something.
If you can't reach it a little farther, you can only take advantage of it in your mouth.
"Gareth, I don't know if you're a starter yourself, why do you want to let it."
"Yes, boy, you're still far from it."
George Lee waited for everyone to finish the commotion, and then said to all the players: "But you also know that the last game is very important, although the final result of this season is not in our hands, but I still want to end our regrettable season with a win." ”
"So, I decided to give Fabrice five minutes."
"I'm not done yet, if you give me a three-goal lead, otherwise Fabrice's debut will only come next season."
The players in the team started talking, especially the attacking players in the front court, who had started to look at each other.
What was supposed to be a game that only needed to be won was taken more seriously after the manager said that.
After all, the atmosphere of Leeds United has always been good, and almost all the players have come together to help each other and support each other, so their last game against Reading was not limited to winning and trying to challenge for the league title, they also shouldered another task.
It's about scoring as many goals as possible so that Muamba can play.
Now in the standings, Manchester United is still 1 point ahead of Leeds United, and in the last round of Manchester United against Wigan Athletic, if nothing else, it should win, so Leeds United will still be 1 point away from second no matter how many goals they win against Reading.
George Lee didn't want to put too much mental burden on the team in this regard, so he used the comeback of Muamba to deflect the pressure on the players.
Let them not dwell too much on the ownership of the league title, but turn the pressure into motivation and play a good game.
Of course, Leeds United's coaching staff are well prepared for this, and before the final round of the league fixtures, they will have a discussion almost every day to discuss various formations, tactics and styles of play in order to ensure a win against Reading.
In case Manchester United really overturns Wigan, if they can't seize this opportunity to overtake, then they can only blame themselves.
In short, Leeds United are looking to win against Reading in the final round of the league.
Not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

"Fabrice!" George Lee called for Muamba
When the young man heard the manager's call, he immediately took off his coat and came to the manager's side.
It's the 83rd minute of the game, Leeds are 3-0 up, and winning this game shouldn't be a problem.
And according to what was said before the game, it's time to put Muamba on the pitch.
"You go up and replace Scott, don't put too much pressure on yourself, go up and find a feeling." George Lee kept instructing Muamba in his ear, "If, I mean if, if you feel uncomfortable, hurry up, understand?" ”
Muamba listened to his manager's instructions.
This was the first time he had listened to George Lee on the field, but he felt that every word the coach said was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he felt like a veteran player who had been at Leeds United for a long time, and he did not feel strange at all.
"Are you listening, Fabrice?" George Li saw that Muamba was a little distracted, and he cared about his special player again.
"It's alright, sir." Muamba turned around suddenly, staring at George Lee.
"It's okay......"
Mu Amba hugged George Lee and said, "Thank you, boss." ”
He didn't even expect to be back on the pitch one day, and when he found out he had a heart problem during his transfer medical exam, he even felt like he would never be able to play again, and even that it would be an unrealistic expectation to live.
But the team never gave up on him, not only did not cancel the transfer, but even paid for his treatment to help him recover.
Muamba came to the sidelines and watched as the fourth official picked up the sign and signaled that he would replace Parker.
He stretched out his right hand, drew a cross on his chest, and hugged Parker tightly as he was substituted.
At the same time, all the spectators in the Elland Road stadium stood up and gave the warmest applause to Muamba, who was slowly running into the stadium.
At this moment, the game is already irrelevant.
After watching Muamba break up one of Reading's attacks with his long legs in a tackle, there was another round of applause in the stadium.
George Lee turned around and asked his assistant: "Where are ...... Manchester United?"
'2-0, it's over, Manchester United won.'
