Chapter 308
Time soon came to August 11.
Li Shiguang led the team to visit Goodison Park, and Leeds United, with all the main players, proved that the general optimism of the outside world was not unreasonable.
Only nine minutes after the start.
Today, Adriano and Ibrahimovic, who partnered in the front line, played a wonderful cooperation of two passes and three passes in the frontcourt, and finally Adriano completed the end, helping Leeds United to take the lead and also scored his first Premier League goal.
With Adriano's goal, Leeds United entered the halftime break with a score of 1:0 in the first half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Today, Li Shiguang did not use the Christmas tree formation when playing against Chelsea in the Community Shield, but played a 4-3-3 single defensive midfielder and three forwards system.
After the start of the second half, Everton tried to counterattack, but their offensive never improved under the active running and pressing of up to five midfielders of Leeds United, but their own goal was constantly threatened by Leeds United.
Fifty-first minute.
After Sneijder successfully pressed the ball in the frontcourt, he passed it to Kaka, who rushed into the penalty area.
Facing this Brazilian midfielder who was almost certain to win this year's Golden Globe Award, Everton's defense did not dare to neglect it. As soon as Kaka broke into the penalty area, two defenders, Lescott and Stubbs, came up one after the other, trying to block Kaka's shooting angle.
But Kaka did not choose to shoot, but took the ball to the bottom line and sent a reverse triangle pass.
Ibrahimovic, who was unguarded, made a low shot from behind.
The football flew into Everton's goal again.
0:2!
Leeds United expanded their lead!
Ibrahimovic's goal made Li Shiguang, who was standing on the sidelines, feel relieved. In his opinion, the outcome of this game was no longer in suspense.
But not long after the game resumed, changes suddenly occurred on the field.
Neuer sent a goal kick, and Alves, who was about to catch the ball, suddenly stopped while running, bent down with a painful look on his face, supported his thigh, and let the ball roll past him.
Then, before Li Shiguang could ask the team doctor to come on the field to check the situation.
Alves himself made a substitution gesture to the bench.
Li Shiguang reacted quickly and immediately asked Simeone to take Sun Jihai to find the fourth official.
"Oh no, Alves looks a little painful, and seems to be injured." Lineker also looked a little worried, "The key is that he was injured while running without the ball. If it is a strain, it's okay. I hope it won't be a tear or something like that. Although Alves' injury is unlikely to affect the outcome of this game, it is not good news for Leeds United anyway. The team's starting full-back in the first round of the league was injured, and Li will probably have a headache..."
Just as Lineker said.
Alves' departure did not have much impact on Leeds United's offense, and the situation on the field was still under the control of Leeds United.
But David Moyes obviously didn't want to sit and wait for death in the first home game of the new season. Not long after Sun Jihai came on the field, Moyes also made adjustments and used up three substitutions in one go, hoping to strengthen the offense in the last half hour and at least equalize the score.
But not long after Everton made the substitution, the Leeds United players poured cold water on Moyes.
Only ten minutes had passed since the last goal.
Adriano received Kaka's through pass and successfully countered the offside, breaking into the penalty area and violently volleying.
3:0!
Helped Leeds United lock in the victory!
"Adriano! Scored twice! This is his second game after joining Leeds United and the first Premier League game in his career. He continued his hot form and scored two goals! I believe that after this game, all doubts against him will disappear!" Lineker's voice was extremely excited, "Adriano, Ibrahimovic, Torres, Podolski, and even the German teenager Reus! Leeds United's forward line is extremely strong this year. I have reason to believe that Li Shiguang will lead Leeds United to create a more glorious history this year!"
"Not only that!" Since he was not playing against Chelsea, Jon's face was full of smiles, "Kaka also got two assists! With the support of such a strong forward line, Kaka's finishing task is not as heavy as when he was in AC Milan! And after his teammates on the front line attracted the opponent's defensive attention, Kaka's most terrifying breakthrough ability was also released to the greatest extent!"
"Yes, although I have said it many times, I still want to say it!" Looking at the camera, ZhengheSimeone hugged Li Shiguang who celebrated the goal, and Lineker was full of pride, "In the past two or three years, in the entire European continent, if Li ranks second in terms of discovering young players and player transfers, no one dares to claim to be the first!"
····
After taking a three-goal lead, Li Shiguang also made corresponding adjustments.
Kaka and Adriano were replaced by him.
Rodriguez and Reus, two young players, got the opportunity to play.
Last year, Li Shiguang specifically mentioned his requirements for Rodriguez to Tuchel.
And Tuchel also completed it very smoothly. After a year of training, Rodriguez is no longer a Riquelme-style classic midfielder who hardly participates in defense.
Because he is still young, Rodriguez's physical fitness is not particularly good now, but from the perspective of footwork and passing vision, with his current strength, he can play in the main position of some mid- and lower-level Premier League teams!
It has been more than a month since Rodriguez was transferred to the first team by Li Shiguang, and Li Shiguang has not stopped observing him during this period.
Today's game, which has almost no chance of changing, is a good time to check the results!
Rodriguez, who came on as a substitute, also understood that this was a rare opportunity to show himself, and he was particularly active both in offense and defense.
Finally.
Towards the end of the game, Rodriguez got his reward for his running position.
He received Sneijder's cross on the left side of the penalty area.
Then he shot with his right foot, and the football drew a perfect arc in the air, and it went into Everton's net for the fourth time in this game.
In the end, Leeds United defeated Everton 4-0 at Goodison Park, making a good start in the new season!
