Chapter 623 Gareth Bell
Chapter 623 Gareth Bell
With a huge advantage of 3:0, Leeds United returned to Leeds, but the players of Leeds United did not have any time to rest, because the first round of the Premier League will start in two days.
Fortunately, Leeds United's opponents in the first round were not strong. Fulham, which was almost relegated last season, and Leeds United are still playing at home this time.
Speaking of the home court, the Elland Road Stadium has officially entered the countdown stage, because the progress of the new stadium is quite gratifying. Sure enough, the world still depends on money. With sufficient funds, the renovation and expansion of the new stadium has already begun, and construction outside the stadium has also started.
Although the Leeds United team does not have much nostalgia for Elland Road Stadium, but this stadium has been with Leeds United after all, and no nostalgia does not mean no affection.
Fans have feelings, but Li Yi doesn't. Seriously, Li Yi really doesn't understand Elland Road Stadium, which is why Li Yi can't wait to rebuild a new stadium as soon as he has money.
If it was possible, Li Yi really wanted to use the new stadium next season, but Li Yi knew that this was impossible, and even if the funds were in place, it would be at most a month or a few months in advance.
On the contrary, a stadium has to accommodate more than 5 people per game, and if it is not done well, there will be a big accident. Li Yi can't make a bad project in order to use the stadium as soon as possible.
This series of big moves by Leeds United has also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the fans. According to the ticket sales situation, the Elland Road Stadium is really in short supply, which has caused many fans to complain on the official website.
Of course, those who did not get tickets, those who did, were so happy, and they were not less embarrassed in front of others, just waiting for the league to start.
And as the league draws near, not to mention Leeds, the whole of England has become hot. After all, football is a sport full of passion and male hormones.
Like the fans, the players are also eager to fight, but because of the Champions League qualifying match, Leeds United's starting lineup in the next game will definitely change a lot.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Leeds United fans began to mobilize the whole process. Those who could enter the stadium walked to the stadium in groups, and they couldn't just meet with friends to go to the bar.
The living environment of European bars has a lot to do with the football market. The football market is hot, and the bar business is also booming. Once the football market is bad, the bar business will be much worse. Obviously, the Leeds football market is getting better now, no, it should be hot.
You know, this season's Leeds United jersey sponsors have all changed, and Kappa still thinks that Leeds United is the former Leeds United. Li Yi naturally ignored him, and then Adidas started negotiations with Nike, and finally signed a 1+1 contract with Nike.
After changing to a new sponsor, it is natural to change the jersey, and the new jersey is very thin and hot. In order to make money, Nike even added a Li Yi exclusive jersey with a big 0 on the back, but Li Yi's name is also printed on the jersey.
Originally, Li Yi didn't want to get some exclusive jerseys, but Nike did a survey on their own, and the fans generally supported Nike's doing so.
It can also be seen from this that Li Yi is popular among the fans. You know, this guy is not a player, he is a head coach, although this head coach is a little younger.
"Guys You already know the goals for the new season, but it's too early to talk about championships, but all championships are won one game at a time, so work hard." Li Yi in the home team's locker room held a meeting before the start of the league, and officially announced the goals for this season.
The reaction of the Leeds United players made Li Yi feel a little relieved, because they didn't hesitate because their goals were too ambitious. On the contrary, everyone was eager to try.
After confirming the target, Li Yi called Bell, Modric and others to his office one after another, and then confirmed Bell's tactical core position and Modric's organizational core.
However, the rhythm of the team is still controlled by Beckham. Compared with last season, Modric needs to take on more responsibilities. After all, Beckham is one year older, and Modric also has this strength.
I was in Cagliari before because there was no one available except Guardiola. Montolivo has talent, but unfortunately he is too young and can only put the burden on Guardiola.
And from the reactions of Bell and Modric, it can be seen that Modric can indeed take on the important task of organizing the core. On the contrary, when Bell heard Li Yi's words, he was flattered.
"Gareth, I see in you the potential to become the world's footballer." Seeing Bell's expression, Li Yi couldn't help encouraging him.
Everyone has ambitions, but everyone's ambitions are different. Not every player will set his goal on the highest honor. Bell may have such a dream in his dream, but in reality he definitely dare not think so.
Although Bell performed well, he didn't think he could chase the player's highest honor and stand at the top of the player.
"Boss, can I really do it?" Bell still couldn't believe it.
"If you can't do it, then I won't be here to tell you this today, but you have to realize that it's useless for others to have confidence in you. What's more important is that you have confidence in yourself, and you have to work hard and even give everything for this goal position." Li Yi looked at Bell and said.
"II will work hard." Bell was not for a while a little confused, but soon, the confusion in his eyes slowly disappeared, and then he looked up at Li Yi.
"Let's work hard together. You try to be the best, and I try to make you better." Li Yi patted Bell on the shoulder and said with relief.
"Thank youhead" Seeing Li Yi's sincere and gratified eyes, Bell finally made up his mind, and at the same time, his address to Li Yi also changed.
However, in the first game of the league, Bell sat on the bench. The strikers in this game were Royce, Suarez and Lennon.
Midfielder Rakitic, Delphi plus Jonnyhausen, the central defenders have not changed, Kompany plus Cahill, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker on both sides, goalkeeper Adler.
To be honest, Leeds United is the team with the least changes in the Premier League this season. The main central defender has left without any introduction. Van Dijk has already mentioned the first team last season, and then the striker. All three forwards have changed, but Leeds United has only changed.
However, Fulham has not changed much. The striker introduced Zamora from West Ham United, and the goalkeeper also came to Australian veteran Schwarzer from Middlesbrough for free.
In this game, both of them got the chance to start. Even in this season, Fulham's performance has benefited to a certain extent from these two signings. This should be a typical example of spending a small amount of money to do big things.
