Chapter 196: A Contest of High Attention

If you come to this stadium, you will definitely doubt your eyes. This is a football stadium hidden in the industrial area of ​​West London that cannot be worse——
The dilapidated red brick walls are somewhat mottled, and even the rusty iron gate looks filthy and dirty because notices are often pasted on it, and it seems that it has not been torn clean!

However, don't doubt your eyes. Leeds United's opponents in the third round of the FA Cup, the tadpole team Edin in the English regional league, are hiding here. This dilapidated stadium is the home of the Eden team. A venue that can accommodate no more than 200 people.

The Idin team in the regional league, after 4 rounds of qualifying rounds and 2 rounds of preliminary rounds, created a miracle. They actually reached the third round of the FA Cup with the participation of Premier League teams. The eye-catching Leeds United became their opponents.

If you don't know much about the division of leagues in England, you can't understand the difference in levels between the two teams. The regional Premier League where the Eden team is located is only ranked 7th in the English league system, which is different from the Premier League. There are as many as 6 levels, and the match between Eden and Leeds United has become the 136-year-old FA Cup, the most disparate confrontation ever seen in history.

…………

It can be said that as soon as the results of the draw for the third round of the FA Cup came out and the Premier League teams appeared one after another, the match between Leeds United and Edin became one of the topics that the media and fans talked about.

As the FA Cup known as the 'hotbed of unpopularity', people are used to talking about the disparity between the two sides. Here, the legend of slaying the dragon is the eternal memory of England fans. Now the biggest upset in the history of the FA Cup happened in Created by the amateur team Silford in 1972, this is the most legendary dark horse in the history of the FA Cup. At that time, it was the third round of the FA Cup in the 71/72 season. The amateur team Silford was a guest at Newcastle. The 3-2 draw gave Newcastle a chance for a rematch. During the rematch, Newcastle player McDonald's goal once gave Newcastle hope of advancing, but amateur player Radford's strong shot equalized the score.In overtime, Hillford's player Rich George's goal finally made Hillford a legend.

In 1989, the amateur team Sutton defeated Coventry, which was ranked sixth in the top league, 2:1. You must know that Coventry had won the FA Cup two years ago, but was defeated by the amateurs. The team was eliminated by Sutton.Goals from Reigns and Hanlan helped the amateur side Sutton beat Coventry City, which was the last time a team not participating in the professional league knocked out a top-flight side.

So, this time, Idin, as a seventh-level amateur team, was able to reach the third round of the FA Cup and get the chance to play against top league teams. This also aroused the deepest memory of England fans. remember.

…………

The most stark comparison between the two teams is undoubtedly measured by salary and worth. These days, the media has begun to talk about the disparity between the two teams.

For example, last summer, Leeds United’s largest signing was the introduction of Pennant at a cost of 650 million pounds. In addition to the transfer fee of 650 million pounds, they also had to pay a weekly salary of 2.5 pounds a month to this man. The Nottingham boy, what makes the media hype even more is that now, Mr. Pennant of 650 million is not the main force in Leeds United.

In addition, Leeds United, which is now waving the big stick of salary cuts, is much more frugal than when it was lavish before. However, under such circumstances, the club paid Pennant a signing fee of up to 20 pounds, and, You know, the Idin team worked hard to break through six levels and reached the third round of the FA Cup. The total winning bonus is less than 3 pounds...

The "Times" also listed the profit of Idin's team in each knockout round, and gave it a name, 'Idin's Legendary Road':
In the first qualifying round, Idin beat Chelmsford City 1-1 away and won a prize of 0 pounds;

In the second qualifying round, Idin beat Long Melford 2-2 at home and won a prize of 0 pounds;

In the third round of qualifying, Idin beat Heybridge Swifts 3-3 away and won a prize of 2 pounds;

In the 4th qualifying round, Idin beat Bognor Regis Town 2-0 away and won a prize of 1 pounds;
In the first round of the FA Cup, Idin beat Halesowen Town 1-2 at home and won a prize of 1 pounds;
In the second round of the FA Cup, Idin beat Slough Town 2-3 away and won a prize of 1 pounds;
In total, less than £8!
In addition, Idin players are almost all part-timers, with a weekly salary of 30-70 pounds. The "chief star", the Golden Boot winner who scored 36 goals in the regional league last season, DJ. Campbell's weekly salary is only 100 pounds .

Leeds United's home stadium, Elland Road Stadium, attracts about 4 people to watch the game every home match day, while the Eden team only has 130 people, so that in this game against Leeds United, the Eden team was originally drawn. The home game was signed, however, because the Eden team's field was so small that the FA Cup decided to move the game to a neutral ground.

…………

Of course, this amateur team called Idin was able to create the miracle of reaching the third round of the FA Cup. I have to thank a man named Vinnie Jones. Without him, this legend might not exist.

It was under the persuasion of Vinnie Jones, the former famous "Wimbledon" legend, that the core of Idin's defense and the captain of the team, Nevin Saloa, returned to the football field. Helped the team win last season's Regional League One and continue to top the Regional Super League this season.

The 24-year-old Saloa was terminated by Brentford in the lower league 4 years ago. He lost confidence in his football ability and stayed at home for half a year. Later, he was really destitute and had to find another way out.

At this time, under the introduction of the coach, he came to the command of Vinnie Jones, who has become a Hollywood movie star, and participated in the football movie "Inferior Lineup".

…………

The storyline of this movie is slightly similar to Bailey's "Victory Escape". The imprisoned star played by Vinnie Jones trains a group of prisoners and the police to play football.Saroya played the Invicts' central defender, and his skills were praised by Vinnie Jones.The former gangster superstar took good care of him, inviting him to the premiere of "Bad Lineup" as a supporting role, and later urging him to return to the court.

In this way, Saloa began to work as a truck driver while playing part-time for Idin. This time, the Idin team was able to achieve a miracle, thanks to Vinnie Jones, not only because he persuaded Saloa to return to the team. Returning to the court, and, it is said that Vinnie Jones has already become an assistant coach in this amateur team, and has contributed a lot to the promotion of the Idin team.

The reason why Vinnie Jones did this, according to the legendary star of the Crazy Gang, is because in his opinion, the amateur team of the Edin team has the shadow of the Crazy Gang back then, and Saloa Undoubtedly one of the representatives.

Now, almost all the eyes of the media and fans are on this game, and everyone wants to know whether the Idin team from the seventh-tier league can create an amateur team that has not been seen for 15 years and eliminate the top league Team Legends!
***********
However, what Leeds United coach Eddie Gray is worried about now is obviously not the match with this amateur team. Now, the team has reached an impasse on the issue of contract renewal with Li Rui, and the player's contract renewal is not the main priority. The coach went to negotiate, but Eddie Gray also had to pay more attention to this matter. Now, in the plan of the head coach of Leeds United, Li Rui is definitely the most important member. It can be said that Leeds United can It is very important to keep Li Rui.

In Lao Diwen's office, negotiations on Li Rui's contract renewal are ongoing. Lao Diwen is the technical director of Leeds United and also the manager consultant of the Leeds United club. Now he is in charge of Li Rui's contract renewal negotiations.

"The weekly salary is 5 pounds, which is the minimum. Of course, Li's role in the team is much more important than this price..." Rodriguez is obviously an excellent agent. Open your mouth, the Uruguayan who has experienced the embarrassment of even the dry cleaning fee for a suit to the point of borrowing money, the persistence in the face of this kind of negotiation is terrible.

…………

Lao Diwen looked unrestrained in his office, where he was brewing instant coffee calmly, and asked himself if he wanted a cup of Rodriguez, hating his teeth so much that he couldn't wait to go up Take a bite of this Uruguayan fat man, even though the taste of the fat man is definitely not very good, Lao Diwen and Rodriguez can be regarded as old acquaintances. At the beginning, it was Lao Diwen who discovered Li Rui who was still in China, and Rodriguez Si is Li Rui's manager, so of course he has known Lao Diwen for a long time.

It can be said that Leeds United's appointment of Lao Diwen to be in charge of Li Rui's contract renewal negotiations is definitely considered. The British also know to use this personal relationship to influence the negotiations. It clearly stated that it was working time and it was a business relationship. All personal friendships were put aside first, which blocked the club's wishful thinking.

…………

"Well, this price is definitely reasonable." Rodriguez took a sip of instant coffee, his eyes seemed to be shining golden, "Now, some wealthy clubs have already offered conditions similar to this price, inviting Li to join , So, I don't think this is an unacceptable price." Rodriguez said slowly, and when he mentioned that a "rich club" invited Li Rui to join, he deliberately emphasized his tone, and the implication was clear. expose.

Laudiwen came back to his senses. He was thinking about Rodriguez's words. He was not surprised that other teams might try to introduce Li Rui. Well, it would be abnormal if no team came up to poach corners. Lao Diwen had to estimate what kind of invitation conditions those teams would put forward, and what impact this would have on Li Rui's contract renewal negotiations.

…………

"This price is really ridiculously high." Lao Diwen pushed his glasses, leaned on the sofa, and shook his head slightly, "Now, the highest salary in the team is Alan Smith, and he only has a weekly salary of 4 pounds. This is the salary cap set by Mr Stubbs for the club and the club will not break this rule."

Of course, Rodriguez would not believe this so-called 'capped salary' yellow line. This yellow line may exist, but it is only relative to ordinary players.

Rodriguez believes that for core players like Li Rui who may affect the team's performance, the club will definitely make concessions. After all, if you want to achieve good results, or even dream of a championship, you must retain some real players Stars who can have an impact on the game, of course, if Leeds United is just content with the status quo, then this 4 pounds weekly salary cap policy is still possible, but in that case, Rodriguez will have to have a good discussion with Li Rui After talking, staying in such a club without ambition, a club without ambition, has no future.

It can be said that this is also Rodriguez's test of the Leeds United club. Although the new owner of Leeds United, Stubbs, publicly stated that in recent seasons, Leeds United will once again taste the taste of the championship, but , Everyone will say this kind of big talk, Rodriguez has to observe through his own eyes, if he finds that Leeds United is really only satisfied with relegation success, or that he can go to Europe for a tour, he is already happy and satisfied, then , Rodriguez will firmly persuade Li Rui to transfer and leave.

…………

Rodriguez said with a smile, this makes him look like a Maitreya Buddha, of course, if Maitreya Buddha can be a Uruguayan, "I think Li's current worth, I don't need to say more, The club has also made it clear, don't forget, he is only less than 20 years old now, I think, in a few years, he will definitely become one of the best shooters on the planet. However, in the team now, Lee scored twice as many goals as Alan Smith, and his salary is only one-fifth of Alan Smith's. He is now on the scorer list, only one goal behind Henry, but his salary is Henry's One tenth! Don’t you think that Li’s contribution to the team is only worthy of this salary?”

Not allowing Laudiwen to speak, Rodriguez continued to press hard, "If Lee's contribution and efforts are not actually recognized by the club, I think even if he really wants to stay in Leeds United, he will not be able to do so. There will be wavering, I can say responsibly, now, there are several very sincere invitations in front of Li, but he has given priority to renewing his contract with the club, but, if Li does not get it Due respect and return, I will persuade him to choose to leave."

Lao Diwen looked at the fat man who was pressing on every step of the way, and he was a little overwhelmed. He didn't expect this Uruguayan to be so difficult. However, he also admitted that when the club renewed Li Rui's contract last summer, the weekly salary of 8000 pounds The price, now it seems, is indeed inappropriate, and the salary increase is inevitable. The key now is how much the salary can satisfy both parties.

…………

'This Uruguayan vampire! Lao Diwen took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. A weekly salary of 5 pounds is obviously impossible. Among other things, this time, Li's salary has been increased to 5 pounds. Then after the end of the season , or in another two seasons, if this Chinese young man performs even better, at that time, what price should the club pay to keep this outstanding young man?It's not that Lao Diwen thinks of Li Rui as a player who only cares about money. There are too many such situations, which is why small balls can't keep superstars.

Laudiwen decided to fight back, "We think the weekly salary of 2 pounds is enough to express the sincerity of the club. Of course, we can also make a substantial increase in appearance fees and goal rewards."

Rodriguez scoffed at the price given by Laudiwen. The appearance fee and goal reward are all sesame benefits. Now Rodriguez is not the poor man who has never seen money. "2 pounds? Does the club really think that a player who has half the salary of his striker partner but has the same number of goals as Henry is only worth this price? Is this the so-called sincerity of the club? Then , I think there is no need for us to continue negotiating."

Rodriguez stood up and continued to press, not giving Laudiwen time to breathe, "Compared to this chilling salary, I think, in Li's opinion, it's not just the salary, What he sees is the future of the club. I believe this salary is not a performance that an ambitious club can make. For players, apart from salary, what attracts them more is honor and the desire for championships. , the pursuit of honor, but unfortunately, from the club's current sincerity, I can't see this. I think my players should carefully consider their decision to stay in Leeds United. Staying in a team with no future is worse than looking for a wider stage..."

…………

Lao Diwen hated his teeth itching, he was a little bit overwhelmed, this Uruguayan, threatened with a transfer at every turn, it is extremely hateful, but this is an agent, almost every agent will do this, the agent The person represents the interests of the player and the agent himself, and there is a conflict with the club. The club must want to protect its own interests. This is just a bargaining process.

"Well, I think we can't reach a consensus today. I will communicate today's conversation with Mr. Stubbs. We believe that Li is very happy in Leeds United and wants to stay in Leeds United. We will have a solution." Although Lao Diwen was a little angry, he knew that now, the player himself chooses to stay first, and the team also needs players. The two sides still have basic similarities. Now, it is only on the issue of salary that there are differences, which is normal and needs to be resolved through negotiation.

Rodriguez took the initiative to extend his right hand, with a confident smile, "I think we'd better get this done as soon as possible. Now, for the team and the players themselves, it is an extremely important time. I don't want to Because such things affect Li's state, I believe this is what the team hopes to see."

The two sides shook hands, and Rodriguez, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Also, the winter transfer window will close in more than 20 days. I have to think about the interests of my players... "

Looking at Rodriguez's fat back, Laudiwen had the urge to put his foot on that fat ass, "This damn guy, a vampire!"salamander! '

**************
Li Rui didn't know the negotiation process between Rodriguez and the club. After he handed over the matter to Rodriguez, he didn't care about it. He was afraid that this matter would affect his mood and state. Of course, If there is anything important in the contract renewal negotiations, Rodriguez will still contact Li Rui.

This is the importance of a better agent to a player. Between the team and the agent, if the agent is only greedy for his own interests, even if the player is cheated by the agent, it is not worth it. Strangely, some players have completely become a tool for the agent to make money. However, at least, from now on, Li Rui still believes in Rodriguez, and the latter is indeed based on Li Rui's interests. People's interests are linked together.

Now, Li Rui is also looking forward to his debut in the FA Cup. The FA Cup is as important as the League in the eyes of the English team. Most fans in England have the plot of the FA Cup.

This is in stark contrast to other mainstream European leagues such as Spain or Italy. In Spain, in Italy, the Spanish cups, the Copa del Rey and the Coppa Italia are downright tasteless events. Of course, this means that most The rich teams, in multi-line battles, will definitely give up the domestic cup competition first when they have a choice. Only some teams that are not strong enough and want to go to Europe for a tour will have no hope in the league. Choose to fight in the cup.

…………

The name of Leeds United's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup, which is the next game, popped into Li Rui's mind——
Edin!

It was a very strange name, the name of an amateur team. Li Rui shook his head and stopped thinking about it. For him, no matter whether the opponent was Manchester United or this unknown amateur team, it was the same. goal.

***********
On January 2005, 1, the Leeds United players who had finished their training walked towards the locker room in twos and threes. When they passed the reporter mixed interview area, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters who suddenly appeared.

This shocked Li Rui who was chatting with Alan Lennon. This kind of posture only appeared after the team lost 1:2 at home to Liverpool a few days ago. At that time, losing After the game, Li Rui was not in a good mood and did not accept any interviews. He walked back to the locker room without saying a word. No matter how the reporters asked questions, he was too lazy to pay attention.

However, there doesn’t seem to be any major news right now. It’s been two days since the game against Liverpool, and the media won’t keep hyping up a league match. So, for so many reporters present at the training ground at this time, The players of Leeds United were quite surprised.

…………

The reporters gathered around, and the first question they asked the players of Leeds United was almost the same question, "What do you think of tomorrow's FA Cup match?"

"The FA Cup?" Richardson, who was asked, was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered the name of his opponent tomorrow. "Idin? I know, this is an amateur team. However, we will take it seriously."

"I think we can't be careless. The teams that can reach the third round are all capable." This is Bambi's answer.

Obviously, the reporters were very dissatisfied with these answers from the Leeds United players. They didn't want to hear this kind of programmed answer. Well, then, they can publicize it in the newspapers, and it is best to pass these words to the ears of the players of the Idin team. After that, this game with a huge disparity in strength will be worth watching .

The players of the Edin team should be like bulls that don't get angry, causing trouble for Leeds United in the game. If they can eliminate Leeds United and finally advance to the next round, that would be a great thing, then It is simply the gospel of the media, and Leeds United will continue to be criticized by the media and nailed to the pillar of shame!

Don't doubt, this is what these reporters think, [-]% so!
…………

When the reporters saw Li Rui approaching, their eyes lit up. Obviously, from their point of view, this boy under 20 years old was undoubtedly the most bully. Such a high-spirited boy who became famous at a young age , will definitely be outspoken.

Haha, thinking of this, there was a commotion in the group of reporters. These guys with malicious intentions were all as excited as sharks seeing blood. Uh, no, it should be like perverts seeing **... and yes The kind of rose with thorns.

"Hey, Li, can I ask you a few questions?" The reporters stopped Li Rui.

In fact, the reporters should have surrounded Li Rui. Li Rui couldn't move anymore. When he turned around, he saw that Alan Lennon was also surrounded by reporters. He couldn't squeeze to Li Rui's side. The reporters had no choice but to surround Alan Lennon.

…………

"Li, can you talk about your opponent for tomorrow's game?" The reporter asked directly.

Li Rui just wanted to say something that would definitely win the game, but seeing the longing expressions of the reporters around him, Li Rui became alert. He was not a fool. He thought that so many reporters surrounded him just to listen to him. Expresses a triumphant, even cocky determination.

"Idin is a respectable opponent. It is not easy for an amateur team to reach the third round of the FA Cup. It shows that they are not easy to deal with. We will take it seriously." Li Rui finished this sentence Then, he observed the faces of the reporters. Sure enough, he saw the disappointed expressions appearing on the faces of these reporters. Li Rui was also relieved. He was almost regarded as a rookie who was ready to be bullied by these guys. How did he know? , in the eyes of these reporters, Li Rui is a complete rookie, but this time, the rookie seems to be very difficult to deal with.

…………

"So, which player in the Idin team do you think will cause you trouble in tomorrow's game?" I don't even know the name.

Sure enough, Li Rui was stumped by this question, but fortunately, Li Rui responded quickly, "A team like this must be very motivated to qualify for the FA Cup. Therefore, their Every player needs to be handled with care."

The reporters were obviously dissatisfied with Li Rui's answer, and they didn't expect Li Rui to be so difficult. However, a reporter opened his mouth and asked a very tricky question.

"So, can you tell me about Vinnie Jones?" To be honest, this question is very deceptive. If Li Rui didn't know who Vinnie Jones was, he would definitely think that Vinnie Jones was a player of this team. He will definitely answer in a formulaic way, "This player is good..." In this case, a big joke will be made, and this is obviously what the media likes to see. This is just bullying Li Rui's ignorance of England's situation.

…………

However, fortunately, Li Rui finally heard about this former England star and now actor, Li Rui squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "I like watching his movies, especially "Operation Swordfish."

However, Li Rui was a little puzzled, "Does he have anything to do with tomorrow's game?"

"Maybe, he will appear on the coach's bench for the visiting team's game tomorrow." A reporter replied.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment. He didn't know when Vinnie Jones would change his career as a coach again, but Li Rui could clearly see that these reporters had malicious intentions. At this time, the reporters saw Leeds United coach Eddie .Grey, since Li Rui couldn't get anything out of his mouth, he set his target on the 'rogue coach'. Li Rui was finally able to escape. He ran into the locker room and saw that he was already one step ahead of him. Alan Lennon, who got rid of the entanglement of the reporters and was secretly having fun there.

…………

Eddie Gray looked at the reporters and frowned slightly. Seeing the reaction of the head coach of Leeds United, the reporters didn't care. Anyway, everyone on earth knows how bad the head coach is towards the media. Yes, no one expected to receive any preferential treatment today. What the reporters were concerned about was whether they could get what they needed from Eddie Gray.

Seeing the reporters blocking his way, Eddie Gray stopped, and said angrily, "I only answer three questions, hurry up, I'm very busy."

"Why? We have the right to interview." A reporter from "Daily Mirror" muttered.

"Because, I also have the right to refuse to be interviewed." Eddie Gray raised a finger, "There is one question, and there are two more questions."

There was an uproar among the reporters. Obviously, they all hated this arrogant guy. One reporter said unwillingly, "I want to protest to the club."

"Whatever you want!" Eddie Gray raised two fingers, "There is one more question."

…………

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay. They had seen shameless ones, but they had never seen such shameless ones. Seeing that the reporters did not respond, Eddie Gray stepped forward and pushed away the crowd, "Since there is no problem, please make way."

Where did the reporters let him go? Smithson, a reporter from The Times, hurriedly shouted, "Can you talk about tomorrow's game?"

"This will be a wonderful game." Eddie Gray smiled slyly, looking like an old fox, and walked towards the players' locker room, ignoring the stunned reporters.

"This... this guy doesn't seem to answer anything?" A reporter looked at Eddie Gray's back and spat, "Damn it!"

"If he doesn't cooperate, what can we do?" A reporter shrugged depressedly.

At this time, a reporter yelled at Eddie Gray's back, "Mr. Gray, who do you think will win tomorrow's game?" He was really anxious enough to wait here all afternoon. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get any useful information, so he shouted depressingly, and didn't expect the fat man to answer.

Eddie Gray stopped in his tracks and turned his head with a proud smile on his lips. "I don't think there is any possibility that we will lose the qualification."

…………

Although they didn't like the virtue of this fat man, the reporters finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone guessed that this sentence would come from Eddie Gray's mouth, but if he didn't say it, the reporters would There is no room for development, now... hehe.

The next day, before the game started, all the newspapers were full of reports about 'Arrogant Eddie Gray looked down on Edin'. Under the exaggeration of the media, everyone's first impression was that Leeds United Coach Eddie Gray did something unreasonable to Edin. Originally, in such a strong and weak game, people would habitually support the weak. Now, almost all the fans in England except Leeds United fans All the fans are more or less supportive of Idin.

…………

Regarding the remarks made by the media about Leeds United coach Eddie Gray, it has arrived at the neutral pitch of the game at Loftus Road Stadium (Loftus Road). Politt seemed very angry. When he was interviewed, he said that the Idin team had been preparing for this game for a long time. "When the lottery results came out, we began to look forward to this game. The fact is, If there is a chance to create another upset in the history of the FA Cup, why don't we try?"

Hippolyte's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire before the game, which has attracted much attention. It was sold out.

And this tadpole team called Idin from west London is undoubtedly the name with the highest frequency in the London population. In the match against Leeds United, although the Londoners did not have much hope for Idin's victory over Leeds United, it is clear that this team called Idin from London's seventh-tier league in England, Carrying the banner of 'rectifying the name of the London team'.

At this moment, with the game about to start at night, Leeds United coach Eddie Gray and assistant coach Gustavo Poyet had a lot of disagreements about the starting lineup for this game.

…………

"Now is the critical moment, the team's injury problems, and the players are very tired after the packed Christmas schedule, so I suggest that in this game, the substitutes and the reserve players will play. Such a game..." Gustavo Poyet was discussing this game with Eddie Gray in his office. He didn't think this game was worthy of Leeds United sending the main players to play. In Gustavo From War Poyet's point of view, this is a rare chance for Leeds United from God to rest. Not every super team will have the luck to make an appearance in the first round of the FA Cup only to meet amateur teams. , You know, this is the first time in more than ten years.

Eddie Gray interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Gudy, I don't think so. Since I can have such a good opportunity and encounter such a weak opponent, I think that the main players should be sent to give the players Accumulate confidence." Eddie Gray's thoughts are very direct. It is rare to have such good luck. If you encounter an amateur team, then if you don't make good use of it all at once, you will be too sorry for God. Now, the team is winning consecutively, especially It was after losing to Liverpool at home that they fell into a downturn. They just took advantage of this opportunity and tried their best to use a big victory to boost the morale of the players.

…………

Gustavo Poyet curled his lips. He did not approve of the head coach’s approach. In his opinion, the team’s biggest problems were injuries and physical problems. All the main players are simply wasting the physical strength of the players.

Eddie Gray leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, and he also understood the assistant coach's considerations, but Eddie Gray was obviously determined to use the late gift from Santa Claus, Idin, to pay for this period of time. Leeds United, which had fallen into a trough, regained confidence and made good use of it.

Gustavo Poyet shrugged. He knew that he couldn't convince this self-centered guy at all, so he could only shake his head helplessly, withdrawing the idea of ​​preserving his strength, and secretly praying in his heart, hoping that Leeds United Can use a big victory to get out of the trough...
