"Leeds United continued to perform well during the Christmas period this week. After a 0-0 away draw with Liverpool, they defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home at Elland Road, continuing their unbeaten record in the league. Let's follow Look at Leeds United's performance in these two games..."
Several members of the Leeds United coaching staff gathered in front of the huge screen in the restaurant at Thorpe Arch, watching the highlights of the Premier League broadcast on the BBC.
Some of them had various kinds of wine in their hands, and some had various kinds of food in their hands. Gather together to watch TV programs and chat.
"I discovered a problem that day. We have lost a total of three games so far, and they were all lost in the cup." Chris Kasper took the fries and kept stuffing them into his mouth.
Yes, Leeds United has lost a total of three games this season. They lost to Bayern 0-1 in the Champions League, lost 0-2 to Inter Milan, and were eliminated by Tottenham on penalties in the League Cup just now. .
"That's right, if you, as a data analyst, can only see this, then congratulations on being able to apply for a job as a BBC presenter. That's what he said just now." Colin McGee did not let go of anyone who could attack him. Casper's chance.
"Not losing many games doesn't mean we played well. We beat Manchester United and Chelsea, but we are still lagging behind them in the league." John Sheridan said.
Now at the halfway point of the league, Leeds United are in third place with 41 points after 19 league games. Before it are Manchester United, which has 47 points in one more game, and Chelsea, which has 43 points in one more game.
"It's just that if we win one game, we can overtake Chelsea and reach the second position." McGee said.
But after hearing this, Casper kept shaking his fingers that were stained with oil from eating French fries and said.
"Except for the defeat against Inter Milan, we never conceded more than two goals in any other game."
Everyone thought about it carefully, and it is true that Leeds United has conceded very few goals this season. Not to mention winning, even if it's a tie, it's usually 1-1 or 0-0.
"It looks like our defense is OK, doesn't it?" Brian Kidd said.
"But there are still two problems. One is that our offense is not enough. Although we have not lost, we have drawn too many games. Our offensive tactics are still lacking..."
George Li’s voice came from behind, and then he continued.
“Also, I’d rather see us not conceding a single goal.”
Lee George appeared with Peter Schmeichel and Alf Haaland.
The two coaches will leave Leeds United after Christmas and go to Denmark and Norway to start their coaching careers. They have just been discussing some matters and procedures with the team's senior management.
"Is this your New Year's wish?" Kidd picked up a drink and handed it to Li's hand.
"Haha~" Everyone laughed.
At this time, Casper saw Erling Haaland behind the old Haaland, and went up to hug him.
"Erlin, you are going back to Norway with your father. I will never see you again."
"Hehehe, I will go back to Leeds United when I grow up. When the time comes, I will come to Leeds United to play and eat up all the Premier League defenders...hehehe, it's itchy~"
Little Harland was tickled by Casper's cheek and kept avoiding him, but Casper hugged him tightly.
Today Leeds United's Christmas dinner was held in the canteen of the training ground, and almost all club members came here.
Originally this dinner was supposed to be held before Christmas, but it has been postponed until now due to continuous competition conflicts.
On the evening of December 28, everyone came to the restaurant and the lobby outside the training ground.
The food for the dinner was also the various fried fish, pizza, burgers and other high-calorie foods that Mike Li had promised before. Of course, other food and drinks are also included.
Because so many people came, two huge tents were set up on the two training grounds at the entrance for everyone to participate.
First team players, youth team players, coaches, staff, team executives and their families came to the Thorpe Arch training ground to participate in this grand Christmas banquet.
Among them, the first-team stars became the most eye-catching group before the dinner officially started. Especially people like Smith and Robin van Persie were surrounded by young players and other family members who came, asking for autographs, photos, chats, etc. .
Edmondson of the youth team finally took his turn and asked Danny Rose to take a photo of himself and Van Persie with the camera.
After taking a group photo, he took the initiative to hug his idol.
"I wish you all the best at Real Madrid."
"Thanks."
Despite all the reluctance, Edmondson still bid farewell to his idol with tears in his eyes. He tried his best not to let the tears flow down.
I was thinking that in the next one or two seasons, I would have the opportunity to play with my idol after being promoted to the first team. But now the dream is shattered. When they meet on the court again, the two are rivals.
The captain of the team, Smith, and many people there took photos and asked for autographs.
Van Persie looked at Smith, and Smith also noticed Van Persie's gaze.
He freed his hand and raised his glass to Van Persie.
"Robin is gone. It's no longer fun to go to nightclubs alone. I should find a girlfriend to talk to." Smith thought to himself, feeling a little lonely.
Then Smith left the crowded place and began to see if there were any young girls he could meet.
As I was walking, I saw a girl sitting on a seat at the door of the toilet. The girl has pure short hair and fair skin. She is lowering her head and playing with her fingers.
Smith couldn't help but feel a little excited. He and Van Persie met hot girls in the nightclub all day long, and this time they could finally have a change of taste.
The Leeds United captain stepped forward quickly and stood in front of the girl.
"Excuse me......"
As soon as Smith opened his mouth, he saw the girl stand up quickly, walked to a boy, and took the boy's arm.
The boy glanced at Smith and immediately shouted: "Captain!"
"Oh, Charlotte." Smith recognized this as his teammate, Charlotte Black.
"Why are you here?"
"I would like to ask this lady, where is the bathroom?"
"It's right behind. Don't you know the bathroom at the training ground?"
"Drinking a little too much, a little too much..."
"Be careful, do you need me to help you in?"
"No, no need..." Smith quickly waved his hand and refused.
"Okay, let's go, Wendy." After saying that, Charlotte took her girlfriend's hand and left.
Smith looked at the young man and woman and murmured: "It's good to be young."

A large temporary stage was set up in an open space on the training ground, and almost everyone came to the open space.
The lights above the stage are very bright, similar to stadium lighting, so there is no need to add other lighting effects at night. It can already allow everyone in the audience to see the stage clearly.
Standing on the stage were team president Lee Mack and general manager Tony Wilson.
The two will present awards to some of the club's players and staff, as well as draw prizes for all guests.
"Now it will be our head coach George Lee who will present this year's Most Popular Coach Award. Everyone is welcome."
All the audience applauded. They liked this kind of Oscar-like program very much.
George Lee, wearing a Leeds United down jacket, came to the stage holding an envelope.
He didn't say much about the opening remarks, he opened the envelope and started reading: "The winner of this year's Most Popular Coach Award is... Chris Kasper!"
"Woohoo~"
An excited Casper came to the stage, held a small trophy, and spoke into the microphone.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me for this award..."
"Cut~"
The coaching staff and players off the court were booing because they knew the award was given to Casper. One is because the team's head coach, George Lee, took the initiative to be the presenter and withdrew from the selection. The second is because Casper went around canvassing for votes during the voting.
Casper on the stage not only did not feel shy, but instead held the trophy up provocatively.
"Cut~"
The noise from below became even louder.
