Seeing this goal, Ferguson flew into a rage on the sidelines and kept spraying his players.
In fact, this ball cannot be blamed on Manchester United's players. It can only be said that Leeds United's offense was too smooth for this ball, which completely met George Lee's tactical needs.
The front three kept changing positions, running and pulling each other until there was a hole in the opponent's defense.
This goal can be said to be a textbook in counterattack.
From Milner to Kuyt's pass, to Smith's movement, and finally Graveson's pass. Also, although Van Persie did not score a goal, his movement restricted Manchester United's overall defense.
After Ferguson scolded his team members, he then looked at his disciples on the other side.
And George Li also clasped his fists with his hands and made gestures of thanks to Ferguson. Ferguson was so angry that his blood pressure continued to rise.
After the restart, Manchester United began to gradually enter the rhythm and strengthened its defense.
This summer, Ferguson spent 18.6 million euros to introduce Carrick from Tottenham Hotspur, and he finally filled the gap in Manchester United's midfield. Whether he is participating in defense or sorting out offense, he is very impressive.
In both of the goals, Carrick found Manchester United's wide players through long passes and launched an attack.
There was one goal in particular. Leeds United's left back Baines stood forward and followed Lee's request to stand in the midfielder position, and was hit behind by Ronaldinho.
Fortunately, Matteisen made up the position in time and destroyed the attack.
Ronaldinho's breakthrough also reminded George Lee off the court of Grenjaer and Romedal who left this summer. I wonder how these two winger combinations, who once helped Leeds United rise again, are doing in the Bundesliga.
To be honest, Li George didn't want to lose these two wingers, but because of the team's tactical needs and the fact that the two wingers' offensive abilities were not enough, Li George had to make a choice and keep them in Leeds. Playing substitutes together is a waste of resources. It is better to let them go and play the main role in other teams.
Seeing Manchester United's counterattack threat, Lee George quickly signaled Baynes to retreat to the left back position.
Originally, he wanted to adapt to the full-back playing as a defensive midfielder, but the last two games were against strong teams. It seems that this is not feasible. He can only play against other teams next time. .
"Restrict No. 16 on the opposite side and don't let him get too comfortable distributing the ball."
"Intensity, intensity, intensity."
George Li stood off the court and kept shouting to the court that Carrick must be restricted. Although Carrick was always said to be invisible when watching football, his role is still very important.
However, Leeds United also has special methods for this kind of players.
Just like when he played against Liverpool in the previous two seasons, when George Lee deployed tactics, he would target Alonso.
After hearing George Lee's call, the Leeds United players on the field immediately began to shrink in the middle, denying Carrick a comfortable chance to catch the ball.
As a result, Manchester United's offense has once again stalled, and they can only rely on Ronaldinho's personal ability to explode.
George Li looked at the No. 7 player in the red jersey on the court, constantly using his speed and footwork to attack Baynes, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
It's not that I want to buy Ronaldinho, but I want to find a winger with speed, dribbling and shooting ability. It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. Anyway, the transfer fee this summer has not been touched much, and you can continue to invest in it next season.
George Li also began to think about the past. This summer has just passed, and he is already thinking about the next season.
In this way, the first half of the game between Leeds United and Manchester United passed like this, with Leeds United leading 1-0 into the halftime break.
"I won't say anything else, just two."
"One is the Portuguese cyclist. We can't let him get out of shape. Once he gets out of shape, we probably won't be able to stop him."
"The other thing is to continue to pinch the opposite midfielder for me, and don't let Carrick get too comfortable receiving the ball."
During the halftime break, George Li made two points, and then asked the players to take time to rest.
Although Leeds United players trained very early this year and had ample opportunities to practice in games before the league. However, because they were all played abroad, the players did not get sufficient rest time before the season.
Especially those players who played in the World Cup basically took a week off.
However, in the first league game of this new season, Leeds United cannot afford to lose, even if the opponent is Manchester United.
^^^
Half an hour flew by and the second half of the game began quickly.
The Leeds United players who had just entered the stadium received cheers and applause from the home fans.
Especially Kuyt, who just scored a goal. Although it was only his first league game, all Leeds United fans fell in love with this curly-haired Dutchman.
However, the enthusiasm of Leeds United fans was quickly extinguished by a goal from Manchester United.
Although George Li emphasized the marking of Carrick and Ronaldinho, he forgot one person he should not forget.
His old teammate, Ryan Giggs.
In the 51st minute of the game, Fletcher received a pass from O'Shea in the backcourt, and then saw Carrick surrounded by Leeds United's Milner and Parker, with no chance to pass the ball.
He could only pass the ball to Giggs on the left.
Giggs had a rare chance to get the ball in this game. He suddenly accelerated past Graveson who was defending him and began to rush towards Leeds United.
After getting older, Giggs reduced his breakthroughs from the wing and instead strengthened his breakthroughs to the center. Leverage your experience and technical proficiency to create threats.
Giggs' acceleration completely disrupted Leeds United's defensive rhythm, and Parker quickly caught up.
It's just that Giggs broke through first and took the lead to reach the goal of the penalty area.
A long shot before Woodgate could make up the difference.
Giggs' shot was not powerful but had a tricky angle. His left-footed shot flew towards the right side of Leeds United's goal.
Van der Sar made a fierce save and blocked the ball.
But he blocked the first one and couldn't block the second one.
Solskjaer, who followed up, made a shovel shot and poked the ball into the goal.
Manchester United equalized the score early in the second half. The two sides returned to the same starting line again.
However, George Lee really had no way to respond to this goal. It was entirely caused by Giggs' flash of inspiration. When everyone focused on the center and right of Manchester United, the left Something happened.
I have to pay more attention to my defense on the right, but there is nothing else I can do.
In terms of paper strength, today's Manchester United is still not as good as Leeds United. As long as Leeds United continues to play according to their own tactics, they can still win Manchester United.
This may be the confidence of the new UEFA Cup champion and European Super Cup champion.
Especially after the victory over Barcelona, Li George felt that the entire team's mental state had been sublimated.
Sure enough, in the 77th minute of the second half, Leeds United made two substitutions and relied on the cooperation between De Jong and Davis, who had just come on, to finally pass the ball to Smith.
The Leeds captain fired a long-range shot past former team-mate Paul Robinson.
Leeds United narrowly defeated Manchester United 2-1 and achieved their first win in the league.
After the game, George Lee took the initiative to shake hands with Ferguson and thanked his teacher for the precious 3 points.
