"He's really smart."
After seeing Blake receiving Barry's return pass, he immediately made a wide-range transfer and found Arneson on the left. Not only did it defuse the double-team formed by Fenerbahce's forward on Barry, but it also created a favorable opportunity for his team's offense.
Sheridan, now the first assistant coach of Leeds United, said to Lee George.
"Don't say that. The tone you spoke just now was very similar to Brian." George Li turned to Sheridan and said.
"I thought that's what assistant coaches were supposed to do."
"Hey hey hey~"
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed.
This scene happened to be captured by the camera, and Brian Kidd, who was far away in the United States, happened to see it. It was immediately obvious that these two people were using their bad brains. But what Kidd didn't expect was that the topic the two men were talking about was about Kidd himself.
As early as after the game against the Wolves, Lee George set the midfield tone for the next game.
That is to use Barry as a defensive midfielder, and then put Smith and Milner in front of him. It's just that Milner used his abundant physical fitness and non-stop running to help Barry defend when he was defensive, and when he was offensive, Milner was asked to fill in on the right and play as a winger.
Because Robben is more likely to cut inside, especially after Kuyt was injured, Davis, as the team's forward, plays more with his back, which is more conducive to the two wingers cutting inside.
Under this arrangement, Leeds United needs Barry to move forward from the midfielder position, so someone needs to fill the position behind him.
After struggling between the center back and full back, George Lee decided to let Black play. Because this kid not only has excellent defensive ability, but also has good height, jumping, and good steals. George Li used him as a first-stage central defender before; he also has an excellent passing ability and can pass extremely threatening goals in the midfield and backcourt. Long pass. More importantly, he is also very fast. If the opponent breaks through Robben and Milner on the right side of Leeds United, then Black will have time to return to the right side to participate in defense.
In order to better utilize this tactic, George Lee also asked Baynes on the left to reduce the frequency of inserting and stay more in the backcourt and wing, so that the center defender on the right can lean to the right. Helps the defense on the right side.
On the court, Arnesen's breakthrough won a corner kick for Leeds United, and the attack was disrupted by Fenerbahce's Turkish right back Gaur.
Except for Kežman, the other players in Fenerbahce's today's lineup are either from Turkey or Brazil. For example, left back Carlos, center back Dracena, midfielder Alex, and forward Devide are all Brazilians. Turkish teams particularly like to use Brazilian foreign players because the personal abilities of Brazilian players can be fully utilized in non-mainstream European leagues like Turkey.
Of course, everything has pros and cons. Brazilian players have outstanding personal abilities, but they are not so good physically, especially in terms of height. In addition, the Turk is not too tall, which resulted in Fenerbahce's first goal.
After Leeds United's corner kick on the left was taken by Baines, Leeds United's Danish center back Albchesson overwhelmed Fenerbahce's center back and headed the ball from the forward point into the home team's goal.
1 to 0.
Leeds United are off to a fantastic start here.
Although this was a set-piece goal, the long pass from Leeds United's midfielder before that set the tone for this goal.
^^^
After scoring the goal, Leeds United began to frequently use this method to organize attacks and threaten the opponent's defense.
Of course, Fenerbahce is not in trouble here. Since it can reach the top 16, it must have performed well in all aspects.
Their head coach saw Leeds United's arrangement here and decided to focus on defense and shrink the formation to do a good job in the team's defense. Then once the team intercepts the ball, it immediately launches a counterattack. The focus of the counterattack is the team's left and the opponent's right.
If faced with Leeds United's high pressure, Fenerbahce will immediately use the two midfielders or the right center back to pass the ball, and then immediately go to the left to launch an attack. The two forwards, one on the left and one in the center, plus the left midfielder and Carlos, suddenly increased the defensive pressure on Leeds United's right wing.
The chain reaction is that Blake cannot easily go to the midfielder position to liberate Barry. Barry's inability to penetrate forward means that Milner cannot go to the right to support Robben, and Robben has fewer offensive options.
The two sides also used each other's tricks and fought back and forth.
In the 36th minute of the game, Carlos used a one-two with Kežman to get past Blake, then came to Leeds United's bottom line and passed a very threatening cross into the penalty area. After the ball came to the penalty area, Schmeichel, who had recently replaced Edwin van der Sar due to injury, rushed out with two punches before Fenerbahce striker Devide.
The ball flew out of the penalty area and was picked up by the home team's Brazilian midfielder Alex, who stayed outside the penalty area. Just as Alex was about to prepare for a long shot, he was pulled down by Barry who was defending from behind.
The referee decisively awarded a set kick and showed Barry a yellow card.
To be honest, this ball was a bit deliberate, and it might have posed a greater threat without a foul. At least that's what Barry thought, so he had to stop this attack despite the risk of getting a card.
However, one person stood up and gave Barry a loud slap in the face with his actions, saying that you are wrong if you think so.
Carlos took advantage of this free kick outside the penalty area and scored a wonderful goal with his left foot.
Schmeichel was still not experienced enough. When arranging the wall, he did not completely block Carlos' shooting route, giving Carlos an angle to hit the goal directly.
The Brazilian did not waste this opportunity and helped the team equalize the score. The two teams returned to the same starting line.
"Hey~"
Seeing this goal, George Li off the court also sighed. It is really a reflection of personal ability. He had no way to score this goal.
In the next 10 minutes, neither team made any achievements and entered the halftime break with a score of 1-1. Both teams and all the fans and spectators were given a short break.
The so-called layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the door. The new things used by George Lee here at Leeds United today once again attracted the attention of other coaches.
Ferguson, who was also watching the live broadcast, was once again amazed by his disciples. It was another tactical attempt by Da Dan and achieved certain results. However, Ferguson looked at his team's lineup and discovered that George Lee's attempt It is definitely not suitable for the current Manchester United. Evra can assist, but cannot go to the center; Brown can go to the center, but is only limited to the center back, and the ball is still not up to Ferdinand's level. Your team's offense still needs to be based on Ronaldinho, Rooney and Tevez. It is the outstanding performance of these three people and other frontcourt players that ensures Manchester United's current position as the league leader.
As for Chelsea and Arsenal, who are ranked third and fourth in the league, they said that their teams cannot play such a thing. Chelsea's Grant is afraid to try new things because he must ensure the team's record now, otherwise he will go to 58 City to find a job next season. Arsenal's Wenger lacks capable full-backs. Since Cole defected to Chelsea, Wenger has not found a good full-back candidate for a while. After using several, he found that there was a gap with Cole.
Benitez said that in Liverpool's 4231, the full-backs do not need to go to the center.
Although these four head coaches said that they cannot use it, they still need to study how to deal with this new change in Leeds United. Basically, all the head coaches in the Premier League have reached a consensus. Leeds United's Lee George is the most troublesome head coach in the Premier League. Half of the time he spends studying his opponents' new playing methods is because of Leeds United.
