Chapter 672 A Tranquil Winter Break
Chapter 672 A Tranquil Winter Break
With the full conclusion of the No.20 four thesis, the winter break officially ended, and during this winter break, Leeds United also sold Jonnyhausen and bought De Bruyne, which did not attract much attention at all.
In fact, there were no big moves in the Premier League this winter. Chelsea borrowed Quaresma from Inter Milan. Liverpool was a bit miserable. They spent a lot of money in the summer to introduce Robbie Keane and returned to Tottenham on loan this winter. It can be called the most failed signing in summer.
Manchester United only introduced a few young players, but none of them reached the height expected by Ferguson in the end. On the contrary, Arsenal, which received the least attention, became the protagonist of this winter. They got their wish by introducing Russian Tsar Arshavin.
It has to be said that Arsenal's recent record has contributed to this transfer to some extent. Arsenal, which drew again in the last round, urgently needs an outstanding player to boost morale and change the team's situation.
But to say that the team that invested the most in this winter is Manchester City, which is owned by local tyrants. They actually seduced Newcastle United's main goalkeeper Shay Given away, and then bought De Jong from Hamburg, Bellamy from West Ham United, and signed Bridge from Chelsea. The winter transfer market invested nearly 5000 million euros.
Well, Bridge doesn’t know at this time that he has actually been green from head to toe. No, it should be green from the inside to the outside. It’s not right. Anyway, it’s just one word, green, two words, very green, three words, very green.
Although Li Yi knew that Bridge was green, it was impossible for him to say anything. After all, it was impossible for Li Yi to go to Bridge and say, "Hey, buddy, you've been green."
As for other leagues in Europe, now is not the time to pay attention. Besides, Li Yi doesn't have the time. After slaughtering West Brom, Leeds United will immediately meet their opponents in the FA Cup, Millwall in the English Championship.
This is a team that has been in the British Championship all the year round, and it is more than enough in the Championship, so Leeds United's substitute lineup is enough to win this game.
So this game did not attract much attention, and the score was just like the attention of the game, a 2:0 smoothly entered the next round.
Leeds United's luck is as good as ever. The opponent in the next round is still from the British Championship team, Sheffield United. This almost ensures that Leeds United will advance to another round.
However, Leeds United's attention is obviously no longer in the FA Cup. It can even be said that most of the attention in the match against Millwall has been shifted to the No. 20 fifth round of the league, because in this round of the league, Leeds United will go to London to challenge Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
As the only team that beat itself in the first half of the season, Leeds United took a breath this time and was determined to find their place at Stamford Bridge.
Not to mention the current poor state of Chelsea. In the last four rounds of the league, Chelsea lost two games. Moving forward, Chelsea also won more draws than wins.
The Russian oligarchs wanted to make Chelsea play well, so they invited Scolari this past summer. At the beginning of the season, Scolari's performance was actually very good.
But this is not bad based on the foundation of the predecessors, but with Scolari's transformation, the team has become more and more chaotic. Now let alone beautiful football, even victory is not enough to guarantee.
The Russian oligarchs have some wishful thinking. Chelsea's real status in world football is due to the arrival of Mourinho, and Mourinho also established Chelsea's tactical style.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Russian oligarchs want to make changes, because Mourinho's brand is too deep, which is unacceptable to Abramovich, who is the chairman of the club.
The actions of the Russian oligarchs are a good thing for Leeds United and the entire Premier League, because it means that they are more likely to get points from Chelsea.
Just like this game, Leeds United scored Chelsea's goal in just 6 minutes of the game. Seeing the former disciple turn around and enter the goal with a depressed face to catch the ball, Li Yi couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Before the game, Li Yi despised Scolari as always. Of course, Li Yi did this more out of tactical needs. He wanted to provoke Scolari, and because of Chelsea's recent record, Scolari's nerves were a little tense.
This also led to Leeds United's attack in the opening 6 minutes. Although Li Yi redeemed the card from the system mall again in order to ensure the victory, this goal has nothing to do with the system.
A typical quick counterattack. After the game started, Chelsea immediately launched an attack. Scolari on the sidelines even stood on the sidelines after shaking hands with Li Yi.
Originally, it was impossible for an experienced coach like Scolari to make such a mistake. However, Li Yi expressed his disrespect for Scolari in the first match. This match was worse than the last time. Coupled with the pressure of the recent record, even a coach like Scolari couldn't hold back.
Besides, although Scolari is well-known in the world football world, he has no coaching experience in Europe. In this respect, he is not even as good as Li Yi.
The ball was cut off by Matic, who found Beckham directly, and the England heartthrob found Bell with a long pass. The Welshman ran wildly and scored a single-handed goal.
With Bell's goal, the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by Leeds United. Even though Chelsea counterattacked violently, in fact Chelsea's counterattack could not threaten Leeds United's goal at all.
On the contrary, Leeds United frequently threatened Chelsea's goal and expanded their advantage in the No. 203 minute, rewriting the score to 2:0.
However, as Leeds United scored the second goal of the game, Scolari on the sidelines finally reacted, but unfortunately, in the case of already 0:2 behind, even if he reacted, it would not help.
Of course, the score didn't help, but the scene became better, but even so, it still couldn't change the ugly face of the Russian oligarchs in the stands. Even when the second half started, Abramovich didn't come back.
In fact, Abramovich left at half-time. Although the Chelsea general manager came forward to explain after the game, no one believed his explanation.
The media has even begun to predict when Scolari will leave get out of class, and from the behavior of the media, we can also know the result of the game between Leeds United and Chelsea.
3:0, Leeds United beat Chelsea. The score in the first half was 2:0. Chelsea made adjustments during the halftime break in the second half. Drogba replaced the almost invisible Quaresma.
Drogba's appearance did pose a big threat to Leeds United, but in the end Leeds United withstood it, and even expanded the score, completely killing the game.
