Chapter 185
"In the 19th round of the Premier League that ended last night, Leeds United defeated the visiting Chelsea at home with a goal by Bale before the end of the first half. It is worth mentioning that veteran Cannavaro blocked Drogba's shot on the goal line with a very wonderful hook save at the last moment of the game, helping Leeds United to hold the precious three points! "
"In the press conference after the game, Mourinho publicly questioned Martin Atkinson's penalty. He believed that Drogba's shot had crossed the goal line, but Atkinson clearly pointed out in an interview that the linesman saw it clearly and Drogba's shot was blocked by Cannavaro outside the goal line. "
"Mourinho said that Li Shiguang is indeed a strong opponent, Leeds United's tactical arrangement is very targeted, and Chelsea's luck in the game is indeed slightly inferior. He is looking forward to the next match with Li Shiguang after returning to Stamford Bridge! "
"Leeds United is advancing! Chelsea failed to stop their pace! After winning this game, Leeds United and Chelsea both have 42 points, but they are ranked second in the league standings with a goal difference advantage. Now only Manchester United with 47 points is ahead of them! Three days later at Old Trafford, the two teams will face off. Will Manchester United expand their lead at home, or will Leeds United, who are in high spirits, continue to put pressure on Manchester United in the standings? Let's wait and see! 》
《Li Shiguang: Chelsea is very strong. Before the game, I spent a lot of time studying Mourinho's tactical thinking. In the end, I did find the weakness of Chelsea's defense that is not a weakness. Fortunately, Bale did not disappoint my expectations and helped us win the game smoothly! Evaluation of Cannavaro? I think that deciding to sign him this summer will be one of the most correct decisions I have made in my coaching career. His performance on the field once again proved that he deserved the award of this year's World Footballer of the Year! 》
Early the next morning, major media in England used a lot of space to report on the focus battle last night.
Even though they were leaving for Manchester the day after tomorrow morning, Li Shiguang decided to give the players a day off after returning to the locker room after the press conference last night, after all, today is Christmas. Of course, in addition to this, Shakira, who sat in the box and watched the whole game, was also one of the reasons why Li Shiguang gave everyone a day off.
However, Shakira did not stay in Leeds for long. After the two spent a romantic and crazy night, after lunch today, Shakira set off for Madrid. She still had work to do.
After sending Shakira to the airport, Li Shiguang rushed back to the Thorp Arch training base without stopping.
Although the players are on vacation, as the head coach, he can't relax, after all, there is still a tough battle the day after tomorrow!
Looking at Ronaldo celebrating wildly after scoring the third goal in the video recording, Li Shiguang habitually touched his chin and began to think about it in his heart.
Damn! Manchester United is in this state, the next game will be difficult!
Sitting at home, they were spared the pain of traveling and had one more day of rest than Leeds United. The last time he used Toure to beat Carrick was the key to Leeds United's victory, but this trick would definitely not work the day after tomorrow. Ferguson is not a fool and it is impossible for him to fail twice with the same trick!
····
Three days later, at Old Trafford, after the referee blew the whistle, Podolski passed the ball back to Modric, and the 20th round of the Premier League officially kicked off.
As he thought before, Ferguson gave up organizing the attack from the middle today to prevent Li Shiguang from repeating the same trick.
He took Scholes out of the starting lineup and replaced him with Park Ji-sung, who has a stronger sweeping attribute.
Facts have proved that this trick is indeed effective as long as the score is not behind!
With the help of Park Ji-sung, Carrick's pressure on the defensive end was greatly reduced. After the opening, Leeds United's attack from the middle rarely hit the front of Manchester United's penalty area.
Later, Li Shiguang found something wrong and simply gave up the idea of opening a gap from the middle. He asked Toure and Modric to switch positions, leaving Modric in the midfield to occasionally help the two wingers to connect, while Toure returned to the defensive midfielder position and helped the two wingers to defend together with Alonso.
After this change, a strange scene appeared on the field.
"Ronaldo and Giggs quietly switched positions. After receiving the pass from Carrick, he advanced at high speed from the left. Leeds United was not to be outdone. Bale was able to keep up with Ronaldo's speed, and Lahm also came up from the side. The two seemed to want to squeeze Ronaldo to the bottom line!"
"Oh my God!Unbelievable! Ronaldo lightly kicked the ball out of the gap between the two of them, and then went around Belleron from behind! The two Leeds United players collided with each other! "
"But unfortunately, this wonderful breakthrough did not have a perfect ending. Cannavaro is worthy of being the first person to win the World Footballer of the Year as a defender. He used a precise steal to end Ronaldo's cut-in, and immediately passed the ball to Ribery on the wing after getting up. The two sides started to rush rapidly on the other side of the court! "
After finishing a long oral broadcast, Lineker only had time to swallow his saliva. Seeing that Ribery had already rushed across the center line with the ball, he did not dare to stop at all: "Leeds United is here again, Ribery is advancing at high speed with the ball, but Evra is right next to him, aha! Ribery burst directly, he wanted to eat his opponent alive with speed! But Evra is not a vegetarian, Ribery did not get rid of his entanglement, and the ball went out of the baseline! Ribery seemed to protest to the referee that this was a corner kick, but the referee's eyes were firm, pointing in the direction of Manchester United's goal! Manchester United's goal kick! "
"Friends, this game is too exaggerated! Now the game has reached the end of the first half, and the score is still 0:0! Leeds United tried to organize an attack from the middle at the beginning of the game, but it was ineffective and they immediately made adjustments. Then in the next nearly 35 minutes, we saw perhaps the two fastest wingers in the Premier League wrestling, it was simply one team after another, and both teams seemed to want to find a chance to break the deadlock through their two fast horses on the wing! "
Ah~ It's difficult!
Looking at Van der Sar who was placing the goal kick in the penalty area, Li Shiguang rubbed his face, and then subconsciously looked at Ferguson who was also standing on the sidelines.
As if he felt Li Shiguang's gaze, Ferguson also turned his head and looked over at the same time.
At this moment, I don't know why, the two foxes, one old and one young, who were obviously opponents today, smiled when their eyes collided...
