Wenger was dumbfounded. You Leeds United look down on me too much. What kind of thing are you here for?
Arsenal attaches great importance to this game and basically sends their main players to play.
That’s not the case here at Leeds United, they are all substitutes.
Even the goalkeeper has been changed, with 21-year-old Sean Ellawi making one appearance for Leeds United this season.
The defense is led by veteran Gary Kelly, with Matthew Kilgallon, Kevin Dawson and Leighton Bynes. In the midfield, Eric Buck leads James Milner and Morten Pedersen.
It is worth mentioning that Pedersen was selected for the Norwegian national team due to his recent performance in the Premier League, but he did not play in this FIFA match day.
After Pedersen returned to Leeds, Lee George rested most of the players who went to participate in the national team competition, but allowed Pedersen to continue playing.
Morten Pedersen is also motivated. After all, he is still young. He has not played for the national team, so he vents his unused energy here at the club.
If the midfield and backfield are still the old and the new, then Leeds United's frontcourt lineup today is eye-opening.
Partnering with Daniel Bratten and Ernest Derwig was actually 16-year-old youngster Jan Arnesen. This youngster wearing jersey No. 74 made the commentators not know how to introduce him.
"The last player starting for Leeds United today is Jan Arnesen from Norway. He..." BBC commentator John Mortensen stopped, he didn't know what to say.
"Let's look forward to the performance of this young player." Mortensen could only introduce it after other staff members sent him other information about Arnesen.
Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, was also confused and asked his assistant to quickly find some information about No. 74.
Wenger looked at Leeds United's bench. The coaches were all wearing down jackets and masks. The players also wore long sleeves, vests, and masks.
Standing in front directing the team, Wenger recognized it was the young Cruyff who had shaken hands with him just now.
"Shit!" The professor, who had always been gentle and gentle, couldn't help but curse.
The Arsenal players on the pitch seemed to have been affected by the FIFA virus. Although they were playing against Leeds United, they just couldn't break Leeds United's defense.
Leeds United is just defensive here, and they don't press in the frontcourt, they just counterattack.
Derwig and Arnesen are really fast. The Arsenal player was accidentally run behind by the two of them, and they couldn't hold him back.
In the 35th minute of the game, Buck grabbed the ball from Fabregas in front of the penalty area and passed it to Pedersen.
Pedersen made a long pass and kicked the ball directly into Arsenal's half.
Single sword!
The two people who appeared near the landing point of the football were actually Derwig and Arnesen. Campbell behind them was dumbfounded.
He knew it, because these two people did not pass by him, but came out from two wings, running for the ball one to the left and the other to the right.
In the end, Arnesen got the ball. Facing Lehmann, Arnesen passed the ball to Derwig, who pushed the goal empty.
1 to 0.
Arnesen gave up his record as the youngest goalscorer in the League Cup.
After Derwig scored, a group of people wearing masks hugged each other on the Leeds United bench.
"No, don't hug me, be careful of infection...cough cough...don't knock over my water glass..." George Li shouted desperately in the crowd.
In the end, Leeds United lost to Arsenal 1-3 in the League Cup that was abandoned by George Lee.
Ginger is still old and hot. Arsenal fell behind in the first half and scored three goals in the second half to rewrite the score to 3-1. After Leeds United conceded two goals in succession, a group of young people suddenly became stupid.
Cruyff Jr. couldn't do anything no matter how much he shouted off the court. The third goal conceded was almost passed to the goal by Arsenal one by one.
"Say hello to Coach George for me and wish him a speedy recovery." Wenger said to Cruyff after the game.

November 27, St. Andrews Stadium, afternoon.
George Lee, Cruyff Jr. and Casper sat in the stands to watch Birmingham's home game against Norwich.
The sun rarely cleared today, and George Li was in a good mood. Not only did he take off his mask, but the team also won two consecutive victories.
Two 1-0 wins against Birmingham and Fulham respectively.
The team's previous injuries, Glenchard, Hart, and Mills have all returned from injury.
"I just played against Birmingham a few days ago, and I'm here to watch their game again today, what's the matter?" Casper complained.
"This central defender is so good, I didn't see it." Cruyff Jr. also added.
Today the three of them came to inspect Matthew Upson. After George Li asked Wilson to supplement the central defender, Upson was his favorite target.
But after watching Upson's performance in the game against Birmingham a few days ago, Li George wanted to reconsider.
Therefore, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Leeds United will not play until tomorrow, so Li brought two assistants over to inspect Upson again.
"Tell me what you two think." George Li asked the two assistants again.
Cruyff Jr. spoke first: "A typical British central defender, tall, strong in physical confrontation, and excellent in fighting for the top and heading the ball."
"continue."
"But the shortcomings are also obvious. His defensive awareness and physical agility are a bit poor. He will only suffer when facing such a fast forward."
"Chris, what do you think?"
Casper thought for a moment and said.
"What's the difference between him and our Albchisson? He's just a little stronger than Albchisson, but Albchisson is taller than him. What's the use of buying him?"
After listening to the two people's speeches, George Li took out his pen and crossed out Matthew Upson's name on the notebook.
Then he said to the two assistants.
"I thought the same thing. I discovered it when I played against them a few days ago. When Smith scored that day, Upson clearly had a chance to steal the ball from Van Persie, but he didn't and let Van Persie pass the ball. go out."
"It's too slow, and he's left-footed. If he plays with Albchesson, I think he will be beaten against a player like Irving."
"Poor agility not only affects defense, but also slows down the speed of the ball when attacking, affecting offense."
After hearing what George Li said, the two people next to him nodded.
"Then you don't want to buy it?" Casper was more direct.
"I don't want this anymore. It doesn't meet my tactical requirements."
"Shh... be gentle, there are Birmingham fans around here." Cruyff said in a low voice. He didn't want to be beaten up by the home team's fans for complaining about their home team's players.
He has played in the Premier League, so he knows that English fans are not good birds.
At this time, Birmingham lost the ball on the field.
Norwich's Huckabee broke into the penalty area, deceived Upson with a fake move, and scored the ball.
Just like the goal conceded in the Leeds United game, Upson's back was turned to the football. Huckabee's continuous changes of direction kept Upson's back to the football and unable to turn around.
Finally, he entered the penalty area and scored from a small angle.
The three people in the audience, look at me and I look at you.
"Are you still watching?"
"How about leaving?"
The three of them got up and left St. Andrews Stadium first.

The weather in the UK cannot have too many sunny days. The day after watching the Birmingham game, Leeds United was held to a draw by Newcastle United at home in heavy rain.
Although Alan Shearer did not play, Newcastle still had many other outstanding players, such as Jenas, Bramble, Bellamy, Dier and Kluivert, all of whom performed brilliantly.
Although Bellamy had a falling out with current coach Souness after former coach Robson left the team, he still started and scored a goal.
The match between the two teams was very tense, and the referee kept stopping the match.
The game ended with 1-1, but the referee Barry showed a total of 13 yellow cards and 1 red card. The red card was a direct red card. It was the former Leeds United player, Lee Bowyer, who was sent off.
In fact, Bowyer's temper was much restrained when he faced his old club today. The red card was entirely due to the fact that Romedal was about to go solo at that time. Bowyer made a tactical foul from behind and knocked down Romedal. He was sent off.
As a former teammate, when Bowyer was sent off, George Lee hugged and comforted Bowyer on the sidelines.
After George Lee finished hugging him, he returned to the coaching bench and was pulled by Brian Kidder.
"Look up there."
On the field, Smith was leading a group of people who were arguing with Newcastle's Kluivert.
George Lee took a serious look, and as he expected, Mills, Matteisen, Graveson, Davis, and Van Persie were all inside.
The Premier League's new Bad Boys and the old Bad Boys are competing against each other today.
Even the fourth official came to ask if the two coaches could think of a way to make the people on the field calm down.
After the game, the referee on duty said in an interview that he hoped that the next time the two teams met, the Football Association would not arrange for him to come to enforce the law again.
December 4th was another sunny afternoon.
Leeds United narrowly defeated Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road 3-2 with goals from Smith, Glenchard and Romedal.
After the game, Li George immediately went online to see what the weather was like in Leeds on the 11th.
As a result, only the weather within a week can be found online.
So after George Li waited anxiously all day and finally found out that the weather in Leeds on the 11th was cloudy, George Li felt relieved.
Because Leeds United will be at home on the 11th to face the Red Army Liverpool.
When the coaching staff learned that Li George was superstitious about weather forecasts, they all started joking.
"It's useless. You know the weather in Britain is always changing. Otherwise, why would you bring an umbrella when you go out?"
"Do you need artificial rain, George?"
“It’s too late to add roofs and heaters to Elland Road.”
In the end, George Li couldn't bear it anymore and found the phone number of the Leeds Meteorological Bureau. In front of the coaching staff, he asked the Meteorological Bureau to send a weather cloud map to his e-mail before the game on the 11th.
