After finishing the first round of the Champions League match against Chelsea, Leeds United immediately played the 33rd round match against Everton.
Even if Leeds United's current lineup is not complete, even if Everton has performed well this season and is currently ranked 6th. But it was still a massacre. Leeds United won the "Toffees" with a clean 4-0 away game.
In the handshake session after the end, George Lee could clearly feel that Moyes's hand was very strong. Who made Leeds United not know how to restrain themselves at this time? There are only 5 rounds left in this round of league play. , now every point is particularly important, every goal difference is particularly important.
A dramatic scene also occurred during the game.
When the game reached the 87th minute, Alan Smith, who had just come on the field not long after he received Barry's pass, dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
When he arrived near the penalty spot, he fell to the ground after making physical contact with the opposing Everton centre-back.
When George Li off the field saw this scene, his heart suddenly reached his throat.
If Smith gets injured again at this time, the game against Chelsea in a few days will be over. Due to Parker's red card suspension and Button's injury, Leeds United's midfielder is no longer available.
Smith's comeback could have alleviated the situation slightly, so in the 80th minute of today's game, George Lee asked Smith to go up and find his condition.
But now the way Smith was rolling on the ground holding his ankles really made George Li feel weak.
However, a dramatic scene happened. When everyone off the field at Leeds United was worried about Smith, the referee actually came to the penalty area after stopping the game.
He did not signal a foul or penalty kick, but came to Smith's side and signaled Smith to hurry up.
Once he saw that his little trick was seen through, Smith simply stopped pretending and quickly got up from the ground.
"Damn, are you pretending?"
George Lee and all members of the Leeds United coaching staff couldn't help shouting.
Only when Smith was shown a yellow card warning by the referee did George Li believe that it was true.
Smith on the field first smiled awkwardly at the referee, and then waved to the Leeds United coaching staff off the field to indicate that he was not injured and could continue to play.
"I really didn't expect Alan to be so clever."
After George Lee saw that Smith was indeed fine, he turned back to the coaching bench and continued to sit and watch the game.
Leeds United fitness coach Colin McGee, who was sitting on the side, took over what George Lee said and continued: "He has obviously just recovered from his injury and is not very afraid to make moves. He must have hit the goal before." .”
"Then why did he start diving?" McAllister asked.
"I guess it's to entertain the atmosphere." George Li answered.
"entertainment?"
"right."
Although the Leeds United coaching bench and several assistant coaches thought it was impossible, looking back and thinking carefully, it could only be due to this reason. Otherwise, for a player with Smith’s personality, it would be contrary to him to dive. Sportsmanship matters are still relatively rare.
After the game, when being interviewed by reporters, Smith was also asked about the flopping incident.
The Leeds United captain was also very embarrassed and said: "When I was injured, I watched some game videos and learned some new technical moves."
When he said this, Smith was still a little embarrassed, but as the interview progressed, he began to talk more and more enthusiastically.
"But I found that this technical move of mine is not suitable for me. I will never dive again in the future, at least in the next second round against Chelsea."
However, the reporter immediately reminded him that the next game was the semi-finals of the FA Cup, not the second leg of the Champions League.
"Ah, really?" Smith could only blurt out laughing.
As soon as he arrived in the tunnel, Smith was surrounded by his teammates.
"Captain, it turns out you can also dive."
"Captain, you were dishonest when you were recuperating, and you actually watched that kind of video."
Smith drove away his teammates: "Go, go, I lied to those reporters, how could it really be like this?"
As a result, as soon as Smith escaped from the surroundings of his teammates, he was immediately stopped by Sheridan, the team's first assistant coach.
"Alan, do you know how many yellow cards you have already received?"
"What?" Smith couldn't figure out what the coach meant for a while.
"Chris looked at the record just now. You will be suspended in the next FA Cup semi-final because you accumulated yellow cards, so..."
"Holy shit!" Smith was completely stunned when he heard the news. He was so confident that his comeback would turn out like this.
In fact, if you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself. You had to make some kind of flop during the game. Now that it's like this, you can only swallow the bitter pill.
"Is the boss very angry?" Smith asked Sheridan quietly.
"Fortunately, he is still dealing with another matter now."
"What's up?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
"I'm the captain, I can get to know him properly." Sheridan said this, which ignited Smith's desire for gossip.
The two of them were walking and chatting like this. When they passed the corner, they saw George Li questioning Charlotte Black.
"It turns out the boss and Charlotte are talking about something." Smith thought.
Although he wanted to go up and eavesdrop, he couldn't stand it so blatantly with Sheridan nearby.

"Is it really no impact?"
George Li stood in the corner and asked Blake in a very serious tone.
The reason is that George Li found out through Helen that Blake had been having a cold war with his girlfriend Wendy recently. After the two young people quarreled over something unknown, they had no contact for a long time.
Wendy found Helen, and Helen told George Li about it.
Originally, George Li thought this incident would have no impact, but he discovered that Black's performance on the field today was not very good, and he was distracted many times during the game.
Although the team won the game with a big score in the end, there is no guarantee that this situation will happen in the next game, and the consequences will be serious.
"No, boss." Blake answered honestly to George Li.
"Then why are you out of shape today? You are so confused. You were distracted several times during the game. You know..."
George Li kept criticizing his future brother-in-law.
Logically speaking, Blake is a very mature young man with a very stable mentality. Why is he so abnormal today?
"Wendy said she would come to the game today, but it was an away game and I wanted to see where she was. I was afraid of her..." Black said, "She came alone."
George Li slapped his forehead and thought that he was really worrying blindly.
"I'll give you a day off now. You go find Wendy and send her back, okay?"
"OK."
"Then, if you do this again in the next game, try it..." George Lee gave Black an ultimatum.
"No, not anymore." Blake quickly waved his hand.
Just when Blake was about to change clothes and leave, George Li stopped Blake again.
"So, you guys made up, huh?"
"Yes."
George Li quickly waved his hand, and then he hurried away.
"What a waste of worry." George Li complained to Helen who was far away in Birmingham.
At the same time, he also hopes to get rid of all uncertain factors before the game against Chelsea, so that everyone on the team can devote themselves to the game.
