"Huha~"
Located at Charlton's Valley Stadium in Greenwich, southeast of London, more than 70,000 home fans burst into loud shouts.
In the 85th minute of the match between Charlton and Leeds United, Charlton player Hermann Hredalson broke through the fingers of Leeds United goalkeeper Robinson with a long shot.
Just 3 minutes ago, Charlton had just scored a goal through the header of Moroccan defender Talal El-Kakuri, and now Leeds United had just kicked off and changed the world with a shocking kick. score.
Leeds United held on to their defense for the entire game, and finally collapsed at the last minute.
"TMD, it's gone."
Many years have passed, but George Li has not forgotten the national curse.
Due to extensive injuries, Leeds United had to line up a defense combination of Robinson, Kelly, Kilgallon, Dawson and Baines today.
Due to his long start, Mathisen is now in some physical condition, so this game is a rest, and Kelly can only play with a group of scouts.
In fact, the Boy Scouts had already performed well in this game and were very active in fighting. Although they lacked experience, Li was very satisfied with their courage to fight and fight.
Originally, when it was 0-0, George Li thought it would be good to take away 1 point, but who knew that one goal would be scored at the last moment. He just wanted to change his tactics and counterattack to see if he could equalize. Before the tactics were laid out, they were attacked again, and it was completely lost.
In the end, Leeds United lost 0-2 away to Charlton.
After 20 rounds, Leeds United is currently in fourth place with 40 points. It was originally in third place, just behind Chelsea and Arsenal, and even climbed to second place for a time, but now it has lost to Charlton and can only be ranked fourth after being surpassed by Manchester United.
Now it seems that whether Leeds United can keep this fourth place is also a question. When Leeds United was ranked in the top three, fans once thought that Leeds United was about to revive and be able to play in the Champions League and recreate the glory of the year.
But now some rational Leeds United fans have seen that the team is in a difficult time. Widespread injuries have caused a decline in the strength of the team's lineup, which has affected the team's performance. Can Leeds United keep the top four? Still a problem.
However, some radical fans began to protest, especially after losing to Charlton, they began to abuse the team and management.
Anyway, George Li doesn't care about them now. The team's top management is all his own, so can he be fired?
But the team's injuries are a big problem now, and whether there is a need to make signings in the winter window is an issue that needs to be solved now.
"Are there any good wide players?" Brian Kidd started asking as soon as he sat down in the conference room. At this time, several other coaches had not yet arrived.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like we can talk today and come tomorrow."
"Can you not be in a hurry? Who would have thought that so many injuries would occur at this time? There is no one in the frontcourt who can break through. Previously, Dervish was able to rush as a substitute, but now he will be reimbursed for the season. "
Derwig's season reimbursement has a great impact. The Norwegian teenager, who is about to turn 20, is expected to spend his 20th birthday in a hospital bed.
When George Li went to the hospital to see him two days ago, the smile on the young man's face was gone. Doctors from Leeds University School of Medicine told him that they could not guarantee whether Derwig could recover as well as before or at the same speed after recovery. How much is left is still unknown. If there is no speed advantage, the wing substitute will disappear. Then whether Derwig can stay in Leeds United is still a question.
After all, according to the trend, Leeds United will definitely go to European competitions in the future, and the requirements for the team's lineup will become higher and higher. It is difficult to say about Derwig's future.
When George Lee left the hospital, he met Derwig's fellow villager, Arneson.
Arnesen was holding a bouquet of flowers and was also going to visit Derwig. George Lee had a conversation with him and asked him to encourage his little Norwegian brother.
Back to reality.
George Li thought for a while, and when he saw other members of the team's coaching staff coming to the conference room, he started talking.
"I decided to transfer Jan Arnesen directly. What do you think?"
Several people whispered to each other, but no one spoke.
Most members of their other coaching staff prefer direct signings.
"Watford's Ashley Young and Middlesbrough's Stuart Downing are both fine. Why don't you give it a try?" Jordi Cruyff suggested.
"Tangning, Middlesbrough will definitely not sell it."
George Lee was the first to veto the proposal behind Cruyff Jr.
"Ashley Young, let the transfer department ask about the price first, but I am not inclined to buy him."
George Lee is also not interested in Ashley Young.
Everyone began to whisper among themselves again, thinking about what other signings could immediately supplement Leeds United's current combat strength.
At this time, youth training director John Sheridan, who was sitting at the end of the table, and football director Eddie Gray, who was also his master, looked at each other, then raised their hands to speak, like primary school students.
"John, just say it, we have freedom of speech here." George Li saw Sheridan raising his hand and asked everyone to stop and prepare to listen to what Sheridan was going to say.
"Haha~" Several other coaches laughed softly, then looked at Sheridan and listened to him carefully.
"I agree with what George just said. Although I am the youth training director, I know that there are more injuries in the frontcourt of the first team now, but I say you can completely trust the young players inside."
"Tell me specifically which players you can recommend to us." Brian Kidd asked.
"Lucas, the reserve team you are leading now ranks second in the reserve league. Let me tell you."
Several people looked at reserve team coach Lucas Radebe.
"Me?" Radebe hesitated for a moment, and then made a joke with everyone, "Of course I hope you don't take any of them, so maybe you can lead the team to win the championship."
"Hahaha~"
The others laughed again, and through two simple jokes the heavy atmosphere had dissipated.
"Let me tell you, the current frontcourt problem of the first team, I can only say that the team's young players can solve it. I won't talk about James Milner, he hasn't come to help me play games for a long time. Let me tell you When it comes to Aaron Lennon, although we have Grenchar and Romedaal, I can only say it is a waste if you put Lennon in the reserve team. I know him. He was a good player before I retired. He was transferred to the first team and played on the field, so I think he can completely fill the wing of the current team. He has no opponent in the reserve team and has passed all the wings of other teams."
After Radebe finished speaking, he glanced at Sheridan, and then Sheridan took over.
"Just now George said that Arnesen should be moved up, and I agree. Although Arnesen is not as good as Derwig in terms of foot skills, I want to tell you that Arnesen is faster than Derwig, and his speed is completely capable. Filling Dervish’s shoes.”
"Chris, collect the videos of Lennon and Arneson's recent games, edit them, and let several of our first-team coaches take a look at them tomorrow before making a decision."
"Okay." After hearing George Li's instructions, Casper was about to get up and get ready.
"Don't worry, there might be another mission." Kid pulled Casper and asked him to sit down.
"Thank you to the two coaches of the reserve team and the youth training team for giving such great help to the first team after a critical period." Li George first affirmed the suggestions of the two coaches, and then went on to discuss tactics with others, "Lennon, Ah Nathan, plus Bratten, who is originally a winger, and Pedersen and Milner, who can play in the center and on the wing, I think our frontcourt wingers do not need to be replenished in the transfer market for the time being, right? "
"Agree." Kidd looked at several other people and then agreed on their behalf.
"Then if we need to move Pedersen and Milner to the wings, then our midfielder may not be thick enough. I think this is the problem we need to solve at the moment."
Everyone nodded.
"Edgar Davis will be out for a month. Currently, only Alan Smith, Thomas Graveson and Eric Buck are left in the midfield, which is a bit insufficient."
"Besides, Davis is over 30 years old, and Graveson is about to turn 30 as well. Physical fitness is an issue, and someone needs to take over. It's best to buy a younger one that can last for a few years." Strength and conditioning coach Colin McGee brought it up.
"Jordi, how are you?" Li asked Cruyff.
"Wow~, Jordi, are you really going to play?" Casper, who likes to heckle the most, exclaimed, thinking that Cruyff was going to come back to play.
"Can you stop being so loud?" Harland, who was sitting next to Casper, covered his ears. He was startled by Casper.
"Hey, brother, let's go out to compete together. I don't know how many places I can sign up for during the winter window. Think about it. During the competition, several coaches took off their coats to warm up together. Will the commentator be so shocked that he forgets to explain the competition, and then The director kept focusing the camera on us." Casper laughed to himself as he thought about how picturesque it was, "As for Brian sitting alone, hehehehe."
Brian Kidd is already planning to beat Casper.
"I contacted Bill for you, 2 million, and Ajax agreed." Cruyff Jr. said.
"Sneijder is so cheap?" Casper dodged Kidd's fist.
Li took a fancy to an Ajax midfielder, but due to previous games and other matters, he couldn't spare the time to follow up on the transfer, so he asked Cruyff to take charge.
"It's already on your desk, video," Cruyff said to Casper.
"what?"
"You can edit that player's game video together and watch it together tomorrow."
"Oh." Casper realized that he had one more job to do.
While Casper and others were making jokes, Li answered the phone and hung up after just a few words.
"Okay, okay, got it..."
Li glanced at the others and told the others with a look of helplessness.
"Tony called me just now to tell me that someone is trying to pry into our corner."
"What?" "Who?"
"Manchester United, Ferguson."
Just when Leeds United was preparing to buy someone to supplement the team's lineup, Manchester United also took action against Leeds United.
