Chapter 644 Welcome Chapter to Madrid
Chapter 644 Welcome Back to Madrid
Eight consecutive victories, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, there was only one sound left at Elland Road, and that was the cheers of the Leeds United fans after the victory over West Ham United.
It was still a 1:0. Two weeks ago, Leeds United relied on a difficult 1:0 victory over Tottenham at the White Hart Lane Stadium, and returned to the home court. Leeds United still defeated another team in London with a difficult 1:0.
Suarez appeared on the wing in this game. In fact, Cavani can also play on the wing. Cavani and Suarez are not fixed in position. Van Dijk and Kompany are on the center back. The others are substitutes except for the goalkeeper.
Because of the long journey, the Leeds United players were not in good condition after the start of the game. On the contrary, West Ham United, who played away, was somewhat anti-customer.
Li Yi naturally also discovered the state of his players, so this game Leeds United mainly focused on defensive counterattacks, and Leeds United's goal to seal the victory was scored with a quick counterattack.
Kanter stole the ball. In this game, Kanter was transferred to the first team again and had a very good return. Although the tacit understanding with his teammates was not very good, Kanter used his crazy running to act as a qualified shit stick, which caused West Ham to vomit blood.
Delphi sent a diagonal pass, Lennon plugged in at high speed and caught up with the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Lennon calmly pushed and scored.
Following Leeds United's victory, England's Fleet Street was full of wailing. You know, they were waiting to slap Li Yi in the face during the season, but now, they were the ones who were being slapped in the face all the time.
Eight consecutive victories, this record is very close to the best start of the Premier League. No, there was no Premier League at that time. It was the 60 consecutive victories created by Tottenham in the 61-11 season. According to the Premier League, Leeds United's eight consecutive victories is already the best start.
Although the opponents of these eight consecutive victories are not strong, everyone turned their attention to the Champions League in Arsenal's game. Tottenham's state is obviously problematic. After the game with Leeds United, Juan Delamos was officially fired. Tottenham invited coach Harry Retknapp.
This decision is also a signal of Tottenham's re-emergence, but it is hard to say whether the current Tottenham can re-emerge. After all, Bell, Lennon and Modric are all in Leeds United.
Li Yi didn't care about Tottenham's problems, and he didn't have time to worry about them. Instead of wasting time on whether Tottenham could rise again, it would be better to spend more time studying the third opponent in the midweek Champions Cup.
Atletico Madrid, as the former head coach of Real Madrid, Li Yi is obviously no stranger to Atletico Madrid, let alone Li Yi knows the situation of Atletico Madrid in the next ten years.
Although the current Atletico Madrid team is not Simeone's Atletico Madrid team, the strength of this Atletico Madrid team is still not to be underestimated, and it can even be said to be the strongest opponent in Group D.
Look at Atletico Madrid's striker, Aguero, Fran and Simao, this is definitely a top striker, not even inferior to the average giants.
There are Maniche, Assuncao, Camacho Garcia in midfield, Antonio Lopez, Perea, Ujfalusi in defense.
Perhaps the names of these people cannot be compared with the shining people of the rivals in the same city, but this is a group of quite good players, which seems to be the consistent characteristic of Atletico Madrid.
The strongest point of Atletico Madrid lies in their strikers. It is not only in the future that Atletico Madrid's outstanding strikers are spread. There is such a saying now, just look at the strikers of Atletico Madrid in the past.
Even for the Atletico Madrid team that will reach the Champions League final several times in the future, the most eye-catching is the striker. Although the midfielders and the backcourt are still not comparable to their rivals in the same city, their strength is not much worse.
Li Yi was studying Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre was also studying Leeds United, but the more he studied Leeds United, the more incredible Aguirre found it.
Because Leeds United's lineup is perfect, each position is guaranteed to have at least two players who can be rotated. If you really want to find any shortcomings in Leeds United, Aguirre can only find a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming.
That is, the current Leeds United team is a bit too young, but after he watched all the recent Leeds United games, Aguirre was depressed. At this moment, how much he hopes that the first match against Leeds United in the Champions League group stage is Atletico Madrid.
If they meet Leeds United in the first game of the group stage, Aguirre feels that his team has a great chance of winning Leeds United, but now, he really finds it difficult.
Because Leeds United has improved so fast, this is the advantage of young players. Although young players have many shortcomings, they also have many advantages. They have made great progress in just one month.
Not to mention that Li Yi is a head coach who is very good at using young players. No one knows the path of Li Yi's rise, let alone Li Yi's rise has only been a few years.
Looking at these young players from Leeds United, Aguirre became more and more envious. Although Atletico Madrid also has talented young players, such as Aguero, Camacho and Raul Garcia, they can be compared with Leeds United.
Well, it’s still not a comparison, the more you compare, the more you care about the game, let alone Atletico Madrid, as far as Leeds United’s current lineup, Barcelona and Real Madrid can really be compared.
Speaking of Barcelona and Real Madrid's youth training is actually very good, the youth team is full of talents, but Barcelona will give young people opportunities, and Real Madrid prefers to buy people, to buy superstars who have already been kicked out.
Even if Calderon has been in power for the past two years, there is no exception. Although many young players have been bought, in fact, famous stars have not bought less.
However, Calderon's life this season is not easy to manage, because of Florentino's sudden departure, Calderon took over hastily, which also led to chaos in Real Madrid's management, and even scandals have spread.
Moreover, Calderon is not only facing internal chaos, but also Florentino is forcing him outside. After being overtaken by Barcelona last season, Florentino announced in a high-profile manner that he has recovered.
Although Florentino did not say anything about returning to Real Madrid, the meaning between the lines of Florentino is already obvious. Coupled with the beauty left before leaving office, Real Madrid fans have begun to call for Florentino to return.
With such internal and external troubles, Calderon's life became even more difficult, and under such circumstances, the arrival of Leeds United led by Li Yi to Madrid played a catalytic role.
"Although Bruce is no longer the head coach of Real Madrid, the Real Madrid people will always remember the honor he brought to the team. So, Bruce, welcome back to Madrid." When Li Yi was about to board the plane to Madrid, Florentino stood up and accepted the interview.
