Chapter 586 Careful Preparation
Chapter 586 Careful Preparation
In this season, it has become normal for Elland Road Stadium to be full, not to mention that Leeds United also ushered in the giants Arsenal in this round of the league. One vote is definitely not an exaggeration.
There are even calls from fans, hoping that the club management can expand the stadium. Unfortunately, Leeds United has not responded at present. Of course, even if they respond, they will not expand.
"Guys The real test is coming." In the locker room of the home team, Li Yi said, looking at the disciples.
"In the first half of the season, you lost to Arsenal, and even lost cleanly, but now, you are different, because of my arrival." In just two months, Li Yi completely conquered this group of young players from Leeds United, and let Leeds United put his own brand on it.
"So, all you need to do is trust me." Self-confidence, absolute self-confidence, the self-confidence of the head coach can infect every player. Facing the giants, what the young players of Leeds United lack is self-confidence.
Soon the staff was reminding the players of both sides to prepare to go on the field, and then Li Yi, the head coach, left first. At this time, Wenger seemed to have already arrived on the sidelines.
"I hope this is a wonderful match." It was Li Yi who spoke first, and Li Yi said this with absolute confidence.
"I also hope it will be a wonderful match." Faced with Li Yi's confidence, Wenger was taken aback for a moment, and then said not to be outdone.
The two have confronted each other in the media before, and they have read news about each other in the newspapers, but this is the first time they face each other like this.
The speed of Li Yi's rise was too fast, it took only two years, and he didn't really coach very often, and he took a break for a year and a half in between.
"This young man is really confident." Returning to his seat, Wenger said to the assistant coach.
If a person is too confident, he becomes arrogant, but Li Yi did not give Wenger a feeling of arrogance, so he described Li Yi as confident.
"Wenger really looks like Mr. Bean." However, Li Yi and Wenger are obviously not on the same channel. Even if Wenger heard Li Yi's words, I don't know if he would slap Li Yi angrily regardless of his demeanor.
At this time, players from both sides had already appeared on the field, and the Elland Road Stadium ushered in the first wave of climax. Fans from both sides in the stands began to cheer wildly for their players.
Leeds United lineup:
Goalkeeper: Adler
Defenders: Baines, Pepe, Kompany, Zabaleta
Midfield: Beckham, Matic, Modric
Forwards: Bale, Falcao, Mata
Falcao ushered in the starting lineup again, and as a winger, Li Yi chose Mata, who was more comprehensive. Lennon was more of an assaulter on the side, and Mata could not only break through, but also organize.
In this match, Li Yi can be said to have arranged three organizations, with Beckham in charge of the general direction, Modric in charge of the details, and Mata combining the side groups.
Arsenal lineup:
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Defenders: Clichy, Senderos, Gallas, Sagna
Central: Hleb, Gilberto Silva, Fabregas, Flamini
Forwards: Adebayor, Bendtner
Seeing Wenger dispatching this starter, the corners of Li Yi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The game started quickly. Beckham, who won the coin guessing, chose to attack first. As an old player under Li Yi's account, Beckham knew Li Yi's habits very well.
Falcao passed back to Modric, and Modric passed back to Beckham. At this time, the Leeds United striker had penetrated the Arsenal half and launched an attack towards the hinterland.
Beckham sent the ball back to Modric, who dribbled it across midfield and into Arsenal's half, as Flamini charged forward.
In this game, Wenger arranged two midfielders, Silva and Flamini, not only to escort Cesc Fabregas, but also to build a wall in front of the defense.
Wenger didn't know that there was a problem with his defense, but he couldn't help it. A smart woman can't live without rice. You know, even Kolo Touré, who was injured, sat on the bench just in case.
Seeing Flamini rushing towards him, Modric was not in a hurry to pass forward, and of course he didn't give Flamini a chance to steal the ball. He passed back and the ball returned to Beckham's feet.
"Oh Leeds United played very patiently." Beckham, who took the ball, didn't take the ball forward. Instead, he observed it and then passed the ball to Matic.
And just when Matic took the ball, Leeds United's real offensive was launched. On the left, left back Baines rushed up, and then Matic made a diagonal pass.
Baines' quick jump was a bit sudden, so that Arsenal couldn't react in time, and Leeds United also focused on this gap very well. Bell moved laterally, and Baines pushed forward after attracting Sagna's attention.
Bell, the Welshman rushed towards Arsenal's penalty area decisively after taking the ball. At the same time, Falcao had also rushed into the penalty area, preparing to drag Arsenal's defensive players for Bell.
"Oh, oh The sudden fast break, Leeds United's action is very fast." Bell has already rushed into Arsenal's penalty area with the ball. Although Gallas reacted quickly, the French central defender was still a bit late due to Falcao's involvement.
"Bell rushed into the penalty areaGoalkeeperNow the only one who can save Arsenal is the goalkeeper." It is impossible for Gallas to stop Bell from shooting, so for Arsenal, goalkeeper Almunia is all hope.
"ShootA strong shotOhNoGoalpostThe nightmare of the goalpost is still entangled with Leeds United." Bale's strong shot made Almunia a little late to react, but the ball did not fly into the goal as all Leeds United people expected.
"NoArsenal's crisis has not been resolved The ball that hit the goalpost bounced back" and at the moment the ball bounced back, Falcao had already activated, and at the same time Senderos was also activated.
It's just that Senderos started slower than Falcao, so at the moment Falcao has the absolute initiative. In this case, Senderos can only use his hands to stop Falcao.
But it's a pity that Senderos who shot still couldn't stop Falcao, and even dug out the fear buried deep in Senderos' heart.
Falcao's physical fitness is definitely not as good as Drogba's, but Falcao misses Drogba a lot, that is, his momentum, his momentum like a tiger, and his indomitable momentum.
In fact, as long as Senderos uses a little Falcao, he will fall down, but Senderos, surrounded by inner fear, stops his hands, and Falcao rushes to the ball, while Almunia is still on the ground at this time.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe goal is scoredFalcao's supplementary shotThe game started less than 1 minuteLeeds United scored a goal."
