In the tunnel at Elland Road.
George Li walked behind "Professor" Wenger and looked at the calm and graceful Frenchman.
Arsenal did not have a good start to the season. They beat Newcastle in the first round and met Chelsea in the second round. The two teams played with each other for more than 70 minutes before Drogba's goal broke the deadlock. Then Mourinho was best at setting up the bus, and finally took away the victory. In the third round, Arsenal returned to normal and took away Fulham 4-1. Skipping the 4th round, Arsenal lost again in the 5th round. Unfortunately, they lost to Middlesbrough. The goals of Jakub and Maccarone declared the end of the game early. Come back, Arsenal beat Everton at home.
In the first 5 rounds, Arsenal had 3 wins and 2 losses, and their performance was extremely unstable.
Vieira's departure is fatal to Arsenal. Players over 30 years old need to sign a one-year contract, and Wenger's idea of reinforcing young star Cesc Fabregas makes this Arsenal midfielder core. This summer he switched to Juventus.
Without Henry and without Bergkamp, today's Arsenal only has Reyes, a nondescript forward. After Lee strangled Arsenal's two wingers Hleb and Ljungberg to death, Reyes was like a useless striker in front. Like a fly in the head.
Cesc Fabregas, who will take over from Vieira, cannot play the ball normally in the midfield. If Wenger hadn't sent Flamini and Gilberto behind Cesc Fabregas today, the Spaniard would probably have left the field crying today. .
Look at the players Leeds United are heading to the lounge, K-Davis, Robin van Persie, Smith, E-Davis, Graveson, De Jong, Parker. This is Leeds United's midfielder and frontcourt player mix today.
That's right, neither Grenchar nor Romedal played for Leeds United today. Romedal is injured and Grenchar is off today.
Before the start of the new season, Colin McGee proposed to Lee George that the players should be given a rest. The team's depth has been strengthened and there are enough substitutes to supplement the main force. In order to avoid the main force being too tired last season, Injuries caused by fatigue are also a multi-line battle to deal with this season. McGee and Lee George have formulated a corresponding rotation system. After playing a few games, the main players will take a break for one or two non-important games. This also satisfies the team's rotation needs and allows the substitute players to perform. .
Not to mention, after the first few games, Leeds United not only won, but several main players got a bye. The team was also happy and harmonious.
"Hello~"
George Lee felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was assistant coach Brian Kidd. Kidd caught up with George Lee and asked him.
"I heard that Chris went to your house that day. Do you know that he didn't sleep well after listening to what you said for two days?"
"What did I say? I said... why didn't Carl and Sean, who were together that day, lose sleep?"
"He said what space, timing, observation, and execution you proposed. He said they all went to Argentina. How did you become so good?"
"Is it such an exaggeration?" George Li smiled. After all, it felt good to be praised.
"We started with five consecutive wins and put forward our own tactical concepts. He said that you have only been a head coach for two seasons and you are already becoming a person like Alex."
"With five consecutive wins in the beginning, which team won, didn't you see? As for the tactical concept, I got it from a book, and it was not proposed by me at all."
"What book? Logically speaking, I should have read it." Kidd thought he was a few years older, had eaten more bowls of rice, and had read more books.
"A book about the Princeton style of play by Pete Carell."
"Pete...Princeton...what is that, John, do you know?" Kidd really didn't know what Princeton was.
Until Sheridan told Kidd that Princeton was a tactical system from the NBA across the Atlantic, carried forward by Adelman, the head coach of the Sacramento Kings.
"King...Adelman...basketball?" Chris Casper, who listened to the entire exchange between these people, was stunned.
During the halftime break, George Lee first praised the team's defense and encouraged them not to relax in the second half. Although Arsenal's offense was a bit weak today, they still have to guard against them, because once Arsenal's offense improves, When it comes out, it's as smooth as mercury pouring out.
Secondly, I hope that the team can make some gains in offense in the second half, because today Leeds United played 3241, and the offense from the wings was not enough, so they can only pin their hopes on the center.
^^^
In the second half, everything George Lee said in the midfield came true.
As soon as Arsenal opened the game, they launched a counterattack.
Campbell got the ball thrown by Lehmann and passed it to Ashley Cole, who stepped in. Then Cole and Gilberto passed Van Persie in a one-two and got out of Graveson's pressing range.
Then he passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas who stepped forward to respond. Fabregas used a precise through ball to find Ljungberg behind De Jong. Ljungberg then passed the ball directly to Reyes without stopping the ball.
Reyes saw Van der Sar preparing to attack in front of the penalty area and directly raised his foot to hit the goal.
The ball flew past Van der Sar towards the goal.
Van der Sar quickly chased back, and finally flew in front of the goal and flicked the ball. Finally, the ball rolled out of the baseline.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!"
George Li shouted angrily from the sidelines.
"If the pass from No. 15 is so comfortable again, I will run back to Thorpe Arch after the game and then disband."
The sound was so loud that not only the Leeds United players heard it, but also Xiaofa, who is still wearing the No. 15 jersey.
Xiaofa looked around, and a chill appeared around him.
"Wild boar", "lawn mower", bald head, evil man, etc., none of them are easy to talk to. The only one who seems easy to talk to is probably the No. 5 on the opposite side. Fascination knows that this guy named Parker was at Chelsea last season and was Makelele's substitute.
But in the following time, Fabregas learned the lesson. Makelele's substitute might just be a little bit worse than Makelele. Every time Fabregas got the ball, the No. 5 in white clothes would stick to him, making it difficult for him to move. .
With Fabregas frozen, Arsenal's offense has no way to launch and can only rely on defense.
Fortunately, the defense composed of Laurent, Toure, Campbell, and Cole, together with Gilberto and Flamini, defused Leeds United's offense many times.
After Smith's long shot was saved by Lehmann, Van Persie's long shot was kicked out from the goal line by Campbell.
Look at this 31-year-old black central defender who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, trying to save the ball even though he was injured.
George Li thought of Campbell's several key interceptions throughout the game, which defused Leeds United's threatening offense, otherwise the score would definitely not be 0-0.
George Lee turned his head and glanced at today's team's central defender Albucherson.
Van der Sar kept asking Albuchesson to press a little more, but the Danish central defender moved a little bit forward every time. Van der Sar was urging, and the Dane moved a little more.
When playing four backs before, this was not obvious to Albuchesson, because if he was hit from behind after pressing, Matteisen could chase him. But when playing with three backs, Albchesson in the middle does not dare to go too far forward, because he knows that his ability to turn and chase back is not good.
George Li also knows this situation, so he is now wondering whether Woodgate is living well in Madrid, Spain.
