Chapter 423
In fact, Li Shiguang was just waiting for that opportunity, waiting for Manchester United to return home in the Champions League with a defeat.
As long as Manchester United was eliminated in the Champions League, Li Shiguang would take advantage of the time when Ronaldo was most vulnerable psychologically to launch an attack.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Leeds United can advance smoothly in the Champions League. At least when he talks to Ronaldo, he can let him see the hope of winning the Big Ear Cup after joining Leeds United!
Li Shiguang didn't need to tell Mendes the specific plan in detail.
He just asked him to stay calm and wait for his notice, and then said that he still had to study tomorrow's opponent and let Allen see him off.
····
On February 2, the 20th round of the Premier League officially kicked off.
The first game of this round was Manchester City's home game against Arsenal, who quickly adjusted back after losing the top spot.
Because the game started earlier.
Li Shiguang even sat in his exclusive office at Elland Road Stadium and watched the first half of the game.
Although Arsenal did not strengthen in the winter window, Wenger did not let the team's main framework slip away, especially the fact that Barcelona wanted to buy back Fabregas, which was widely reported in the outside media, ended up in vain.
Therefore, Manchester City, playing at home, did not pose much threat to Arsenal.
Less than ten minutes after the start, Fabregas sent two assists, helping Adebayor and Eduardo score a goal each, allowing Arsenal to get a perfect start away from home.
Li Shiguang looked at Eduardo running on the court and celebrating the goal crazily, and even felt a little dazed.
Who would have known that such a talented fox in the penalty area would be directly shoveled by Martin Taylor, a villain, and his leg bone would be broken twenty days later. Not only was he out for the season, but his condition also plummeted after his comeback.
Before, Li Shiguang had thought about being a good person and buying Eduardo to Leeds United to save his career.
However, Wenger and the player refused the invitation from Leeds United because it was difficult to say it clearly. Later, Li Shiguang never mentioned it again. It can only be said that there is a will in the dark.
After Arsenal successfully won three points away from home.
In addition to the six teams that started the game, the other twelve teams all appeared, including Leeds United, Chelsea and Manchester United in the BIG5.
Li Shiguang was right before.
West Ham United is not an easy opponent to deal with. The Hammers showed a very good competitive state at Elland Road and played very tenaciously.
It was not until the 73rd minute of the second half that Leeds United took a 1:0 lead with Ibrahimovic's supplementary shot in front of the goal.
And when Leeds United finally took the lead.
Simeone, who had been paying attention to the battle between Manchester United and Tottenham, brought good news to Li Shiguang who had just celebrated the goal with Ibrahimovic.
At White Hart Lane, Tottenham, who played at home, was leading Manchester United 1:0.
This news is undoubtedly exciting.
If the scores of the two games can be maintained until the end of the game, it means that Leeds United will widen the gap with Manchester United to four points!
At this time, Li Shiguang only had one feeling in his heart, this is the first time this season to fight such a rich battle!
But it is obvious that God does not want Li Shiguang to be too comfortable today!
Fifteen minutes later, the fourth official just raised the sign of five minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines, and West Ham United seized the mistake of Leeds United in the frontcourt and successfully intercepted the ball, and then immediately launched a counterattack.
Malins quickly dribbled the ball to the front of the Leeds United penalty area and sent a diagonal pass. Ljungberg, who joined West Ham United from Arsenal this season, was very smart and rushed out from behind Kompany and pushed the ball to break the door guarded by Neuer!
1:1!
The Hammers stubbornly tied the score to a tie.
Seeing that the three points were about to fly away, Li Shiguang, who was a little excited, subconsciously called out the system and wanted to use the lore card with three chances on Ibrahimovic, who was in good form today.
But he thought about it.
Manchester United was still behind. If they lost the game, one point would be acceptable.
But it was obvious that the plot did not develop as Li Shiguang imagined!
The game between Leeds United and West Ham United had just ended, and Simeone walked to Li Shiguang with a bad face holding his mobile phone: "Boss, we are not lucky. Manchester United's last offensive opportunity equalized the score."
Li Shiguang looked incredible: "Can this equalize?"
"Yeah." Simeone nodded, "A corner kick, the goal was scored by Berbatov."
Li Shiguang: ? ? ?
····
So the long league is always full of various meanings.Extraordinary and dramatic!
The two draws between Leeds United and Manchester United made Arsenal, who were chasing behind, the beneficiaries of this round of the league. A victory allowed them to narrow the gap with the top two.
Chelsea, who were kicked out of the FA Cup by Leeds United, seemed to have not yet come out of the internal strife. They were tied by Portsmouth at home and gave the fourth place they had just regained to Liverpool, who beat Sunderland.
To be honest.
The three teams in this round of BIG5 were tied at the same time, which gave the media something to talk about.
Since these three teams will start their respective Champions League round of 16 games.
The English media, which has always been sensitive, have some concerns about the status of the three teams because of such a draw.
With the media leading the rhythm, many fans on Twitter also started to discuss it.
A week later.
The 26th round of the Premier League started, and the three teams in the midst of the public opinion storm directly gave the fans a big fuss this time!
First is Leeds United.
They went to the Stadium of Light and were defeated by Sunderland 2:0 without a single blow, ending their unbeaten record in the league since the eighth round.
Simeone and Kompany attended the press conference after the game, and no one knew where Li Shiguang went.
But the next day, The Sun broke a news story saying that after the game, the door of the away dressing room at the Stadium of Light was closed for at least half an hour and had not been opened. From time to time, Li Shiguang's roar could be heard from the dressing room...
Leeds United lost to the weak team Sunderland, which was already big news for the English sports media.
Unexpectedly, it was not long after the game between Sunderland and Leeds United ended.
The Manchester City derby between Manchester United and Manchester City also blew the whistle to end the game. Like Leeds United, the favored Manchester United was defeated by its city rivals with a score of 1:2 at Old Trafford.
However, no media reported whether Ferguson's scolding was heard in the dressing room.
Because when the final whistle blew, the old Sir Alex was already standing on the sidelines and cursing...
As for Chelsea, they met their top four rival Liverpool, and the two teams shook hands and made peace with 0:0, and there was no winner.
And the only winner among the BIG5.
Only Arsenal, who surpassed Manchester United and Leeds United after beating Blackburn, returned to the top of the league!
