Chapter 673
Chelsea's defeat also completely ruined their hopes of the league title this season. After losing to Leeds United, the difference between Chelsea and Leeds United has reached 17 points.
So now Chelsea is definitely not considering the so-called league championship, but to keep their fourth place in the league, because Aston Villa behind them has caught up and currently has 48 points with Chelsea.
Scolari and Chelsea's owners were troubled by Chelsea's problems, while Li Yi was in a good mood. After winning Chelsea and avenging his revenge in the first half of the season, Leeds United completely stabilized the current situation.
There are 13 rounds left in the league, and in these [-] rounds, Liverpool and Manchester United are the only threats to Leeds United. Of course, Leeds United still needs to face up to the lessons learned by West Ham United, but as far as the current form is concerned, it is very beneficial to Leeds United.
But with the arrival of February, Leeds United's schedule will also become more onerous, not only the FA Cup, but also the Champions League.
To be honest, Li Yi is now considering whether to give up the FA Cup. The Premier League's triple crown team has done it, but the quadruple crown has never been achieved by that club.
Of course, it's still too early to think about this, but if you don't even dare to think about it, then what's the point of talking about it? Besides, Li Yi is a coward, and the advantage of being a capable person who cheats is definitely not something that other ordinary people can have.
It may be a bit whimsical for others to discuss the quadruple championship, but Li Yi has this qualification. As long as he does not hesitate to score points, every time he cheats on the team, there is really a great chance to do it.
And now Leeds United needs the champion to be the bottom of their position in the league. In the position of world football, if Leeds United can really win the quadruple crown, then they are no longer far away from the real giants.
What does a wealthy family need?Wealthy clubs need champions, and champions represent the background. Just look at Liverpool. After the establishment of the Premier League, they have never won the league championship. But before the Premier League, Liverpool was the team that won the most championships in the English league.
After that, there are players. A team must have good players if they want to achieve good results, so whether they can retain players is also the key to a giant.
This is also the biggest problem Leeds United is currently facing. Although the champion Leeds United did not win many, they have won it anyway. Compared with the average team, it is much better, and even won the runner-up of the Champions League.
The most important thing is to retain players. In fact, whether Leeds United won the championship this season, many players will have to renew their contracts and raise their salaries. This is the general trend. What Leeds United can do is to control it within a certain range as much as possible.
And if you want to retain players, the championship is also an indispensable help. The pursuit of players is nothing more than fame and fortune. As long as Leeds United can give them fame and fortune, most of them are still willing to stay.
Of course, Li Yi's shocking thoughts were only in his own mind, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, after all, the four-time champion is too crazy.
After the game with Chelsea, Leeds United needs to make some adjustments in the next starting lineup, because the Champions League knockout round is coming, and Leeds United needs to shift their attention to the Champions League.
Fortunately, Leeds United's opponents in the next few rounds are not too strong. After the FA Cup in midweek, the league will face Tottenham. Tottenham's performance this season is a bit miserable. It can also be said that Li Yi's arrival has become the biggest sufferer.
Bell, Modric, and Lennon are all in Leeds United, plus their main players who have been sold in the summer, so that the current Tottenham only have 25 points after 25 rounds.
Although Tottenham rented Robbie Keane from Liverpool this winter, Robbie Keane's role is far inferior to Berbatov's, which can be seen from the performance of the two at Manchester United and Liverpool.
However, before the league, Leeds United needed to play the FA Cup first, and they would welcome the Championship team Sheffield United at Elland Road Stadium, and this game Li Yi was transferred from the youth team again.
In the end, Leeds United won the game as they wished, but the process of the game was not all smooth sailing, and Sheffield United was even the first to score.
Speaking of England's ancestral skills, it is really well-deserved. The young Pickford had a buttery hand in this game. Fortunately, this player's goalkeeper knew his shame and was brave.
In the end, Leeds United defeated their opponents 2:1 with difficulty and passed into the next round smoothly. Leeds United's opponents in the next round will be born between Blackburn and Coventry. Because the two teams drew in this round, they will have a second round in a week.
The FA Cup system is that the two teams only play one game, but if the two teams draw, they will switch home and away for the second round. If the tie continues, there will be extra time and then a penalty kick.
With this victory, Leeds United entered the quarter-finals of the FA Cup as they wished, which also strengthened Li Yi's idea of competing for the FA Cup championship.
The match against Sheffield United was not open to Li Yi, he decided to decide whether Leeds United will compete for the FA Cup or not based on the outcome of the match against Sheffield United.
Now that the decision has been made, there is no longer any hesitation or confusion, and then Li Yi led the Leeds United players to turn their attention back to the league.
However, with the Champions League knockout in the middle of next week, Leeds United will definitely not be able to fully prepare for the game against Tottenham. This is undoubtedly good news for Tottenham.
But soon, Tottenham coach Redknapp discovered that even if Leeds United sent their substitute lineup, it would not be easy for Tottenham to win.
"How did they find these players?" In the tactical room of the Tottenham office building, coach Redknapp looked enviously at Leeds United's lineup.
"Even if Leeds United plays the Champions League in the middle of the week, it will not be easy to play," the coach finally said.
Redknapp studied Leeds United, and Li Yi also studied Tottenham. Without Modric, the young Huddlestone became the core of Tottenham's midfield. Coupled with the introduction of Palacios in winter, the two will form a new combination of Tottenham's midfield.
Huddlestone is talented and has the potential to become a top midfielder, but this player also has obvious shortcomings. He is tall and slow, which can be used.
As for other aspects, there are no Bell and Lennon on both sides. It is no accident that David Bentley and Jenas will start. As for other aspects, there is not much change.
Compared with the original Tottenham in history, the current strength of Tottenham is indeed worse than that. Although Huddlestone is good, it is impossible to replace Modric.
Bell hadn't really been kicked out at this point in time, and he was nicknamed the unlucky guy, but Lennon's role in Tottenham was very important, and he was an extremely important assaulter on the wing of Tottenham.
