Sky TV commentator Andy Hinchcliffe is introducing Leeds United's starting players to the audience.
"The visiting team Leeds United's goalkeeper is still Dutch national goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. At 37 years old, he still performs stably, guarding Leeds United's goal for George Lee."
"The three defenders are Matteisson, Granqvist and Black. Albuchesson, who started in the last Champions League game, accumulated yellow cards and was suspended for one round."
"The two midfielders in the midfield are still Gareth Barry and Scott Parker. They have made great contributions to Leeds United in defense this season, but they need to be more involved in the offense."
"In front of them are Baynes, Pedersen and Bell. The young player Bell who played well on the left in the last Champions League game was placed on the right by George Lee."
"The forwards are Kuyt and Arnesen. Kevin Davis was stepped on on the instep of his foot in the Champions League. This round of the Premier League is exempt from the competition."
After Hinchcliffe introduced Leeds United's starting lineup, he directed the topic to Leeds United's injuries.
He said to his partner, beauty host Kirsty Gallacher: "As for Leeds United, we have seen that due to extensive injuries, their starting lineup has changed a lot."
Gallacher continued: "Yes, Leeds United's offensive core basically did not play. The injuries of Sneijder, Robben, and Smith really affected Leeds United."
Ever since there were rumors about Gallacher's affair with Lee George, Sky TV has been particularly fond of scheduling Leeds United games for Gallacher. Even though the relationship between George Li and Helen was later exposed, Sky TV still did this. After all, the British media will cause trouble.
Hinchcliffe saw the two sides waiting for kick-off, so he continued to talk about something else.
"Here at Leeds United, Smith and Milner seem to have serious colds. Baines, who had the flu at the same time as them, has returned, but the two of them are still on the injured list."
The director was very considerate, and the camera immediately showed Smith and Milner in the stands.
"The game will start soon. Let's take a look at Reading's match against Leeds United in the ninth round of the Premier League."

Gareth Bale appeared on the right side of the team today. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but after ten minutes of the game, he got used to it immediately.
Bell always remembers what the head coach said to him, which is: "Aryan was also on the left before, but this season I changed him to the right. Didn't he play very well too? Also. The previous Robin van Persie changed from the left to the right, you just play like Aryan, be more confident..."
In short, Bale decisively discovered the key point of this sentence, which is "play like Robben."
Bell, who is only 18 years old, received a call from Wales senior Giggs a few days ago. During the call, Giggs invited him to play for the Welsh national team instead of choosing the England national team.
The England national team may still look down on Bale, but the Football Association of Wales does, and they decided to take action to save themselves from long nights and dreams.
After all, after representing the first team of the national team in a major competition, there can be no change.
Also receiving an invitation call from the Welsh Football Association was Charlotte Black behind Bell.
The difference between the two is that Bell's call was made by Giggs, because Giggs also asked Bell in a subtle way whether he would consider coming to Manchester United in the future.
"Gareth, ball!"
When Bell heard someone calling him, his mind immediately returned to the game.
It was his good friend Charlotte Black who passed the ball to him.
Bell stopped the ball near the center circle. At this time, Reading's midfielder was able to defend from the left to the right.
Because Reading's four midfielders are in a diamond position, the attack and defense on the wing are basically handed over to two full-backs, and the midfielder only participates in assisting when defending.
Bell chose to accelerate before the opponent's midfield defense came up.
At this time, Reading's left back Nicky Shorey could only defend, otherwise Bell would have the chance to face the defense.
It's just that Xiao Lei didn't expect the boy on the opposite side to be so fast. Just as he was about to get close to him, his opponent made a movement with his feet and flew the ball past him to his right.
Before he could recover, the Leeds United No. 3 flashed past him on the other side.
The ball passed!
Reading's left wing was completely passed.
Reading's defense was wide open and could only send center back Injimarsson to cover the defense.
Reading is a club that is famous for its ruthless moves and big moves. Many teams in the Premier League have suffered losses from Reading. Injimarsson's defensive option is to directly slide and tackle when he is about to get close to Bell. It doesn't matter whether he is rushing to the man or the ball, as long as it can destroy the entire offense.
It's just that they underestimated Bell. He picked the ball before Injimarsson, and then he jumped over Injimarsson.
With just a few passes, Leeds United penetrated Reading's defense.
In addition to Bell's outstanding personal ability, there is also Leeds United's tactical layout. Bell was flourishing on the wing, but Reading's entire midfield did not dare to move and could only choose to retreat. It's because Leeds United also invested a lot of troops in the midfield.
The three defenders basically pressed past the center line, the two midfielders and Pedersen were in front of the penalty area, and the two forwards were in the penalty area.
After Reading was passed by a full-back and a central defender, they no longer dared to send defenders to defend Bell.
Hunter in the midfield can only be used to defend Bell.
But it was too late. Bell stopped and flicked with his left foot on the wing, preparing to change direction and go to the center.
In order to get past Injimarsson, Bell no longer had the angle to cut inside, so he had to go down.
But after reaching the bottom, there are no defensive players, so he is not in a hurry to cross.
Seeing Hunter coming towards him, Bell took a look at the defense on the opposite side and found that both Kuyt and Arnesen were good passing options.
He pocketed the ball with his left foot. Because the ball was a cross close to the goal, Arnesen was chosen from behind.
The ball is passed relatively high, has a large arc, and is very fast. Therefore, Reading goalkeeper Hahnemann did not reach the ball, and Kuyt, who was in front of him, did not touch the ball.
The ball went towards Arnesen at the back point.
It's just that Arnesen, who is just over 1.8 meters tall, is not a Nordic high center. He is a winger known for his speed, so even if he jumped hard, he could not reach the ball.
Just when Arnesen was still regretting not touching the ball, he saw the ball hit the back post and bounce into the goal.
After landing, Arneson looked at Bell, and Bell celebrated while retreating, but his eyes were always staring at Arneson.
Arnesen understood what Bell meant and quickly indicated that he had not touched the ball.
After Bale saw it, he turned around and ran away, making a loving gesture to the Leeds United fans in the corner.
Bell's first goal for Leeds United was scored in such a lucky way.
