After defeating Manchester United, Leeds United began their winning streak.
In the first round of rematch, Leeds United defeated Everton 3-0 in an away game. Moyes is really scared when he sees George Lee and Leeds United. This summer Everton also spent a lot of money to introduce forward Andy Johnson and center back Lescott, but the overall strength is still far inferior to Leeds United.
Moreover, ever since Leeds United successfully came back to avoid relegation at the last moment of the 2003/04 season and Everton was relegated, Everton has not won much against Leeds United.
George Lee was also dubbed the "Moyeske Star".
In the second round of rematch of the league, Leeds United defeated West Ham United 2-0 at home. Lee George saw two familiar players in the West Ham United lineup, which was West Ham United's special transfer from Corinthians. Weiss and Mascherano. Both started the game, especially Tevez, who posed a great threat to Leeds United's defense. He used his strong body to attack Leeds United's defense again and again. If he had not just joined the team and lacked tacit understanding of cooperation, Maybe let him score a goal.
In the fourth round of the league, Leeds United, which played half the main force, defeated Bolton Wanderers led by Sam Allardyce 1-0 in an away game.
In the first 4 rounds, Leeds United won all 4 games and ranked first with 12 points. Although they only scored 8 goals in 4 games, which was exactly the same as Manchester United's goals in the first two rounds, Leeds United conceded fewer goals, conceding only 1 goal in 4 games.
Manchester United lost to Leeds United in the third round; Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough in the second round; Liverpool tied in the first round and lost in the third round; Arsenal drew two and lost two in the first four rounds, accumulating only 2 points.
"Wolf is coming!", "Roses have thorns, be careful!"
The sports publications of major British newspapers rushed to report the news about Leeds United. There were twice as many reporters outside the Thorpe Arch training ground as usual, and the media focused their attention on Leeds United.
Not only is Leeds United currently in the spotlight in the league, but also because Leeds United is about to face their first opponent in this year's Champions League, Inter Milan.

"This is simply playing against the Argentine national team." Li George came to the conclusion after discussing with his assistants for a long time.
Inter Milan has many Argentinian players in its team. Burdisso, Zanetti, Cambiaso, Samoel, Cruz, Solari, Crespo are simply half of the Argentine national team.
"Maybe we should ask the German national team how they won the World Cup?" Chris Kasper said.
"In the starting lineup, apart from Materazzi and Grosso, there is no Italian. The goalkeeper is Brazilian, the full-back is Brazilian, and the forward is Brazilian. Oh, and the center back is Colombian. This is an international player. There is no problem for Milan to play in the Copa Libertadores," Brian Kidd also added.
Anyway, the current coaching staff of Leeds United has simply complained about this Inter Milan.
"Okay, okay. Let's reorganize it. After all, this is our first Champions League game since we took over. We must perform well."
When George Li saw everyone starting to chat, he wanted to bring the topic back to tactics, but he completely forgot that he was the one who started it.
"In this Inter Milan, most of the players are in their prime, and the team's original lineup is very strong. This season, Ibrahimovic and Vieira were snatched from the relegated Juventus. The strength in the midfield and frontcourt is even stronger.”
After listening to Kidd's speech, George Li nodded and affirmed his speech. Due to the influence of Calciopoli, Juventus was relegated and AC Milan was deducted points. Now Inter Milan is completely the dominant player in the league.
"I think we can think of a solution from the two wings of Inter Milan." At this time, Colin McGee, who usually does not speak much in tactical meetings, took the initiative to put forward his own opinions.
"Their right side doesn't work." George Li directly rejected half of McGee's views.
Li George knows that Inter Milan's right wing is a bit impeccable at this time, whether it is offense or defense.
Regardless of whether Zanetti or Maicon is the starting right back, they are both players who can attack and defend.
Zanetti, who is 33 years old, does not feel like a veteran at all. Instead, he becomes younger and younger as he plays. He is capable of defense, assists, and has abundant physical fitness.
As for Maicon, few others don't know. But Li George understands very well that after coming to Inter Milan, Maicon will firmly hold the position of the world's number one right back in the next few years. Maicon at his peak was fully capable of relegating Alves to the national team's bench.
"I'm even more worried now whether Mancini will let Maicon and Zanetti play together. In this case, our defense on the left will have to be strengthened, otherwise it may be penetrated. It's not that I look down on Leyton. But the two right sides on the opposite side are too strong." George Li expressed his worries.
Several other people also frowned, unable to do anything.
"Where's their left wing?" McGee continued.
"Figo plus Grosso, Figo doesn't talk about him, but what about this amazing Italian left-back?" Kasper couldn't help pouring cold water on McGee. He felt that Inter Milan's two wingers are really not the same. Most people can handle it.
"Just hit him on the left!" George Li suddenly said.
Figo is already old and came to Italy to win a few championships. After he discovered the rise of Barcelona in Real Madrid, the Real Madrid coach regarded him as a substitute. He needed a chance to start, so he came to Inter Milan.
As for Figo, who is already 34 years old, Li George feels that he can become a breakthrough for Leeds United.
As for Grosso, George Lee wanted to tell everyone present that this magical Italian left back will no longer be magical after the World Cup.
Therefore, what McGee proposed to play on Inter Milan's wing is indeed a good idea, and what needs to be made clear is Inter Milan's left wing.
"I decided to play with a five-guard first in this game, especially paying attention to the defense on the left. We must not let the opponent cause damage to us on the right." Li George began to determine the tactical tone for the next game against Inter Milan.
"Five defenders, two defensive midfielders. First focus on defense, and then look for opportunities to counterattack, especially counterattacks on the right. Be sure to hit their left."
"Oh, it sounds a bit like when we played Sevilla before." Casper interjected.
"Yes, this is how we need to deal with a team that focuses on wing advantages. But Inter Milan is definitely much better than Sevilla."
"We at Leeds United are not weak either!"
"That's right." "That's right."
Kidd's words were echoed by others, and now Leeds United has the confidence to challenge anyone head-on.
But in order to prevent the team from being careless and underestimating the enemy, George Lee still needs to correct them.
A great man once said: "Contempt the enemy from a strategic point of view, and pay attention to the enemy from a tactical point of view."
George Li really wanted to tell everyone this sentence, but it was difficult to translate it into English, so he had to tell a few assistants in other ways.
"At the same time, we must also pay attention to their forwards. Their forwards can form several combinations. We have to deal with them one by one."
George Li can only turn the problem back to the opponent's lineup.
Then, it was the turn of Leeds United's coaching staff to have a headache. They looked at the many forwards of Inter Milan and their heads began to hurt.
"You M, Inter Milan is so rich." Casper and several other coaches couldn't help but curse.
