The Leeds United players returned to the dressing room excitedly to rest.
During the rest, they were more relaxed and chatted. The main content of the chat was Navarro's mistake just now, which resulted in Van Persie's second goal for Leeds United.
George Li did not interrupt them intentionally, but let them talk for a while before arranging tactics.
"Okay, have you finished chatting? We'll open the champagne after that."
"No, no, no, boss, hurry up and plan your tactics. We are listening."
The act of popping champagne at midfield, which is a bad thing, has become a bad behavior due to the media's extensive reports. This not only represents disrespect for the opponent, but also creates the possibility of being overturned by others in the second half.
Although he knew that George Li was joking, Smith still took the initiative to tell George Li to stay away.
The main thing is a matter of attitude, which means we are ready to listen to your tactics. Just tell us and we will listen.
"We are two goals ahead now. Our opponents must have thought that we would strengthen our defense, but I am not prepared to do this. I am prepared to continue to strengthen our offense." Li put forward new tactical requirements, and with two goals in hand, he did not feel that we had already strengthened our defense. It was enough, and he wanted to expand the score and completely kill the game.
Then he started to arrange it again.
"In the second half, Glenchard, I want you to come on directly, replace Milner, and play the 433 we are most familiar with."
"OK." Hearing that he was about to leave, Milner did not express any objection. He is a player trained by Leeds United's own youth training. He can make sacrifices for the team's victory, as long as the team wins in the end.
"In the first half, we scored two goals, one from the left and one from the center, although the second goal was a bit lucky."
"Haha~" Everyone looked at Van Persie. It was indeed Navarro who helped with the second goal, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy.
Of course, Van Persie's last kick was indeed beautiful.
"Actually, when they scored the first goal, I discovered that their left back is indeed a relatively weak position. We can focus on this point appropriately."
"Scott, in the second half, you drop back a little to help the two central defenders so that our two full-backs can step in."
"Okay." Parker accepted the task proactively.
"Kevin, help the midfielder, whether it's offensive or defensive."
"No problem, boss."
The team's recruitment work in the summer has begun. Lee George has informed Kevin Davis that the team may add a capable forward next season. Davis' main position is not guaranteed for him.
But when faced with a sincere head coach, this English striker who is not famous for scoring goals took the initiative to stay. After all, he can stay in a team that fights on multiple fronts and can play in the Champions League. Even if he is not the main force, he will not have the chance to play. Less.
Therefore, Kevin Davis will not compromise on Lee George's tactical arrangements at all.
"Jesper, Edgar, Nigel, hurry up and warm up, you might all play. And you, Dennis."
Grenchar, Davis, De Jong and Romedal, whose names were called, all went to warm up, while other players were seizing the time to rest.
Except for Milner, who had taken off his soaked jersey and put on other short-sleeved shirts and a vest because he no longer had to play in the second half.
However, when Milner was changing clothes, he almost took the wrong clothes and almost put on the championship short-sleeved shirt that Leeds United would wear after preparing to win the championship. Fortunately, Pedersen discovered it in time and stopped him on the spot.

As soon as the second half started, Li George discovered that the opposite team Sevilla had also made changes. They replaced Kanoute, who had just returned from injury, and replaced Saviola, who had not performed well in the first half. .
Juande Ramos found that "Rabbit" did not adapt well to playing in such a fast-paced team in the Premier League, and had no chance or space to get the ball at his feet.
After switching sides, both sides made changes at the same time.
However, after the start of the second half, Sevilla's changes immediately took effect.
In the 52nd minute of the game, the impact of the two forwards finally paid off.
Leeds United played a full-back here and asked Mills to play as a right-back. This left only two center backs, and Parker did not implement Lee's midfield arrangement very well. There was no return to the two midfielders in defense. A position parallel to the center back.
Sevilla passed Adriano's cross from the left at a 45-degree angle and found Fabiano, who was competing with Matteisson for position. The Brazilian finally defeated Matteisson in the top battle and reached the third goal in the penalty area. A little bit, and it was very comfortable for Kanute who just came on the field.
Kanoute, who was near the penalty spot, made a very small swing shot with his right foot, which was very sudden.
Van der Sar fell to the ground in time to get the first blow.
But he didn't catch the ball, and Maresca was inserted and shot into the net.
2 to 1.
Sevilla has hope again.
George Li stood on the sidelines very angry, and then stared at Parker, who had just made a mistake. Parker also knew that he had made a mistake and did not dare to look up at Li.
"Edgar, come here."
George Lee called over the "Wild Boar" Davis who was warming up and asked the Dutchman to replace Scott Parker.
Parker had to bear a lot of responsibility for the ball conceded just now. First of all, there were two forwards on the opposite side, and he only had two center backs, but Parker did not retreat to the back line to participate in the defense. The second is that he failed to keep an eye on Maresca who was inserted, allowing him to complete the follow-up shot.
However, George Li is also to blame for this loss of the ball. George Li noticed the changes after the substitutions on the opposite side, but he did not follow up and make changes immediately.
"Play like we did in the first season, you know?"
Before Edgar David came on the court, Lee George arranged such a sentence.
George Lee discovered that Parker can play as a defensive midfielder and can become a barrier in front of the team's defense, but it won't work if you ask him to retreat further.
He lacks the positional sense of playing as a defender and cannot do this well, let alone retreating to the center back position and sorting out the backcourt with the two center backs.
Gravesson did this very well. In the 2004/05 season, Gravesson, the single midfielder, cooperated very well with Albuchesson and Matteisson.
This is why Lee is now sending Edgar Davis. That season it was Davis, Smith, and Graveson who supported Leeds United's 433 midfielder.
Now George Li needs this effect.
Sure enough, after Edgar Davis came on the court, it had an immediate effect.
It's just that he didn't let go, it was "Wild Boar" Davis who scored.
Just 5 minutes after Sevilla scored, Leeds United attacked from the right. Initiated by Robin van Persie, during the halftime break, Lee George said Sevilla left back David. Then complete the bottom pass.
It's just that the quality of Van Persie's cross was too poor, and he still used his right foot.
Passed directly from the right baseline to the left outside the penalty area.
Just when everyone thought Leeds United's attack would end in failure, Edgar Davis appeared there and volleyed with his left foot.
The ball passed through the gap in the penalty area and bounced off the ground in the small penalty area.
The opponent's goalkeeper moved from one side to the other, and his line of sight was blocked by people in the penalty area. When he saw the ball, the ball had already landed in the small penalty area and bounced up.
He completely missed the save and watched the ball fly into the gate he was guarding for the third time.
3 to 1.
The joy of Sevilla fans only lasted 5 minutes.
