0291 The long-awaited debut
In the second half, the two sides were no longer in a one-sided situation as in the first half.
Manchester United made a timely adjustment in midfield, replacing Fabio, who was tortured by Bale and Ibrahimovic in the first half, and replaced Wes Brown.
George Li couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this substitution.
Once, how much he wanted to get this player who could play at right-back or centre-back, but Ferguson just wouldn't sell.
At this time, Manchester United seem to be ready to start a squad change, and Brown is gradually losing his place in the main team.
Leeds United are also changing players as they continue to get stronger, and they no longer need to bring in Brown.
One is that Brown's injuries have been increasing in recent years, which has made his technical and tactical level drop a lot. Another is that Brown is getting older, and at the age of 30, he can't meet the needs of George Lee, whether he plays as a central defender or a right-back.
Just because George Lee can't meet his tactical needs doesn't mean he can't play against Leeds United. He's no longer the right-back who can go up and down, but he can do it as a defensive full-back.
Leeds had problems on the left flank in the second half.
Bale wanted to continue to use his speed advantage to threaten United's defence on the left flank, as he did in the first half, but the old Brown knew that he couldn't keep up with the opposition, so he used his experience and positioning to block Bale's breakthrough.
After a few defeats, George Lee began to shift his focus here.
In the 58th minute of the game, Leeds United used their ferocious high-pressure defense to complete a defensive steal against Carrick in the Manchester United half.
After two simple passes, the ball was in front of United's penalty area.
It was Sneijder who got the ball, and as soon as he got the ball, Manchester United's entire backline became nervous, not because of how good Sneijder was, but because there were too many places where Sneijder could pass the ball.
Ibrahimovic in front, Bale on the left, Robben on the right, and even himself have a long-range shot that can threaten the opposition goal.
But just when the whole team of United was defending the above men, they forgot one person.
In previous seasons, every Premier League team would have prepared to defend Alan Smith ahead of Leeds United when they faced Leeds United. But with the increase in Leeds United's attacking firepower here in the past two seasons, and after Smith's position retreated, people began to ignore him.
However, the captain of Leeds United took advantage of everyone's inattention and launched a deadly forward attack on the heart of Manchester United.
Sneijder took advantage of the gap left by Ibrahimovic's forward cut and slammed the ball across to Smith.
Leeds United's No.17 came to his familiar position, and the non-stop ball was a powerful long-range shot.
The ball whistled past Evans' ears and he could feel the speed of the ball as he watched Smith shoot with his leg up. When he turned his head to his team's goal, he saw Foster fall to the ground, and the ball was already in the goal.
3 to 0.
Once again, the balance of the game was broken in the second half, and it was Leeds United who seized the opportunity.
Yes, you can change tactics, line-ups, and defend my attacks in midfield, but can you do it all, involving all of me?
Smith was delighted after the goal and came to the corner to hug his team-mates who had come to celebrate. One is that after moving to the back of the midfield, he doesn't score as many goals as in previous seasons, and he needs to take care of all aspects of the team's attack and defense. The second is that they know that the team has an important setup today, and Smith keeps looking at the team's dugout while celebrating with his teammates.
Although George Lee was also in the dugout celebrating with the assistant coach and substitutes, Smith took one look away and looked away.
It was clear that George Lee was not the man Smith was looking for.
Finally, Smith saw the man in the tank top, Sean Wallace, at the corner spot.
Wallace was swinging his fist at the same time as he was happy that his team had scored, and his eyes met Smith's, only to see the captain smiling and nodding at him.
Leeds United Coach's Box.
After several assistant coaches finished celebrating, they began to encourage George Lee.
"Hurry up, where is Sean?"
"Almost, it's time for him to play."
"I'll call him ......"
George Lee grabbed Sheridan, who was about to run to call Wallace, and he found that these assistant coaches were not a big deal at all. He just talked to a few assistant coaches before the game, saying that he was going to let Wallace show his face on the court without affecting the game, but these people couldn't get up one by one.
Privately, I will practice more for Wallace, and I will talk about tactics for those who talk about tactics. The most excessive thing is Chris Caspar's video, he actually took Wallace back to his home, showed Wallace a night video, and analyzed the current lineup of Manchester United from beginning to end, and Wallace came to the next day's training with two black circles, and the next day's training was weak.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's a little early." George Lee waved his hand and said to several people that there were still 30 minutes left, and it was not enough time for Wallace to play.
Normally, there are no surprises after a 3-0 game, so after Smith scored the goal, all the Leeds United players and staff were expecting it.
Sean Wallace was able to make so many people look forward to playing, and not just because he was the son of the manager, who was a small owner of Leeds United. It's because of his excellent performances on the training pitch, and it was his outstanding performances in the youth team in the first two years that made Leeds want to show the whole of England their excellent young players.
However, often as many people look forward to it, things will change.
In the 62nd minute, not long after Smith's goal, United pulled a goal back through a combination between Wayne Rooney and Beba.
The coordination is very simple, it is Ferguson's best defensive counterattack, dog clutch frisbee.
Patrice Evra latched on to Scholes' steal pass and began to cut forward.
When he came to Leeds on the left side of the rib, he went straight to the cross. Leeds United were beaten by Blake in the same position as Dimitar Berbatov and were given the ball to Wayne Rooney.
Rooney pushed from a tricky angle to break through Van der Sar's goal.
"Oops!"
"I said that Sean should be allowed to go up directly, you have to delay."
A group of people here at Leeds United began to complain about George Lee, and George Lee really had nothing to do with them.
He also wanted Wallace to play, but that had to be done without affecting the outcome of the game. If the game is not over for a minute, then Manchester United will have a chance to turn the tables, so Leeds will need to build up a big enough advantage to make the risk of a comeback as small as possible in order to put Wallace on the market.
Otherwise, if Manchester United really turns the tables, not only will George Lee have to endure a lot of pressure, but he may even ruin an excellent young player.
In the following game, Leeds United began to attack Manchester United desperately, trying to extend the score again.
It wasn't until the 79th minute of the game that there was a commotion in the stadium, which began in the stands behind the Leeds United dugout and then gradually spread.
Ferguson was also drawn to the commotion, as he saw a young player on the Leeds bench start running towards the middle of the touchline.
This player takes off the substitute player's vest, revealing the name and number on the back of the jersey.
“Wallace,5”
