Chapter 214
"Leeds United! Leeds United! Leeds United!"
"Li Shiguang! Li Shiguang! Li Shiguang!"
Looking at the excited fans outside the bus, the Leeds United players on the bus almost thought they had won the Premier League championship and returned home, but this is not the fault of the fans gathered at the entrance of the Thorp Arch training base. After all, the last time Leeds United was so close to the top league championship was in the 1991-1990 season of the English First Division.
In 15 years, the club has been up and down. When it was good, it made it to the Champions League. When it was bad, it was relegated to the reformed English Championship. The fans were looking forward to it and finally saw the dawn of Leeds United after Li Shiguang took over!
The bus stopped at the entrance of Thorp Arch. The players first took their things and walked into the base. They had to seize every minute and every second of rest time. After all, they had to rush to Catalonia to challenge the defending champion of the Champions League Barcelona in four days.
Li Shiguang and captain Kompany spent a long time to calm the fans gathered at the entrance of the base. After the last fan left contentedly with the jersey signed by Li Shiguang, the two turned around and walked into the base.
After shaking his arms that looked sore from signing so many names, the usually steady captain of Leeds United looked at Li Shiguang with a silly smile: "Boss, our fans are too enthusiastic. If we really win the championship this year, I think the gate of Thorp Arch will be broken by these fans! I think you have to ask Allen to find someone to expand this gate."
"Are you stupid? Who would celebrate at the training base after winning the championship?" Li Shiguang rolled his eyes at his captain who seemed to be stupid, and was a little speechless, "Have you forgotten the scene when we won the English Championship two years ago? At that time, it must have been popular to celebrate on the streets!"
"Yes, yes, hehe." Kompany touched his big bald head embarrassedly, as if he remembered something, and his tone became a little depressed, "At that time, it was James who took the lead and stood in front. I, a little Karami, don't have such a deep memory. But it's a pity, if he doesn't leave..."
"Milner? Oh..." Li Shiguang also felt a little regretful, he knew that Kompany and Milner had a very good relationship. Later, I heard that because Milner insisted on leaving, the bald guy had a quarrel with him for a long time.
But Kompany was not wrong. If Milner didn't leave, he might really stand at the front of the double-decker bus with the trophy again!
"It doesn't matter! You are all professional players. It's normal to have your own pursuits!" As the owner of the black shop, Li Shiguang was very open-minded about this aspect. He even comforted Kompany, "At least now, the meritorious captain who will most likely be recorded in the history of Leeds United has become you, Vincent!"
"Record in history?"
"Of course!"
Even if Kompany is so steady on the court, he is just a young man who just turned 20 off the court. The four words "record in history" instantly made him forget the regret that his good friend could not reach the peak with him.
Looking at his head coach excitedly, Kompany grinned and asked, "Boss, if we can really win a championship this year, can I become a Leeds United legend after I retire?"
"No need to wait until I retire!" As soon as the two walked into the office building of the training base, Li Shiguang pointed to the blank wall in the hall and confidently said to Kompany, "This will be our wall of honor in the future. When you win the championship for the club, every player involved will become a member of it! Vincent, I hope that there will be a photo of you behind every championship won by Leeds United in the future! Hahahahahaha."

After defeating Watford, the media and fans focused not only on Leeds United's top spot in the Premier League, but also on their first round of the Champions League match against Barcelona four days later.
Especially on Twitter, the twoThe fans of the team have been arguing over various topics about this game!
"Li Shiguang and Leeds United? Sorry, I haven't heard of them."
"It's okay, you'll know after we beat Barcelona at Camp Nou in four days!"
"What kind of rotten fish is Li Shiguang? And where did this clown Norman Hunter come from? How dare he compare a person who has not even won any top league honors with Rijkaard?"
"In my opinion, this game is absolutely no suspense. Barcelona won 3-0 at home! I will eat... two kilograms upside down if I miss one goal!"
"What the hell? The brother upstairs has such a big appetite? Please send me the address. I'm going to Camp Nou to watch the game in a few days. I'll treat you to fresh food then!"
Of course, amid the quarrels, there are still rational fans who analyze the two sides from an objective perspective.
"I think we still have to analyze it rationally. Leeds United is indeed not weak, and Li Shiguang has also proved most of his strength by leading the team to the top of the Premier League standings. But to be honest, I am still more optimistic about Barcelona in this game!"
"Brother upstairs, what do you say?"
"One of the big reasons is that in the Leeds United team, almost all the players, including Li Shiguang himself, are participating in the Champions League knockouts for the first time. They have no experience in major competitions, which will definitely put them at a disadvantage in the terrifying Camp Nou! And among the three veterans who have participated in the Champions League knockouts, one of them is Rivaldo, who was abandoned by Barcelona. Of course, he is now approaching retirement, and most of the time he is on the bench watching the young players of Leeds United fight on the field."
"As for the disputes about the paper strength of the players and the coaching ability of the two coaches, haha, I can only say that those who understand will understand!"
"In summary, Leeds United will definitely suffer a heavy loss at Camp Nou!"
