Chapter 197

After the focus of this battle, both Arsenal and Leeds United fell in the rankings at the same time. Leeds United fell to ninth in the standings, while Arsenal ranked seventh because of the number of goals scored.It can be said that this is a game where two tigers compete but lose both.Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Manchester United took Blackburn to the top of the league standings.

However, this game also has a piece of good news, that is, in the long season and the beginning of the third-line battle, Leeds United discovered their own problems. Under such circumstances, there are actually not many candidates who are competent for the position of central defender.

At present, Leeds United's central defenders including substitute players include Ferdinand, Radebe, Woodgate, Dubelle, and Haier. People, it can be said that in the face of the upcoming third-line battle, there is absolutely no problem with the number of players in the reserve.But like the problems faced by most small and medium-sized clubs, the strength gap between Leeds United's current main lineup and the substitute lineup is too large.

If Woodgate and Ferdinand are currently at the top of the Premier League, then captains Radebe and Mateo can also be regarded as first-line strength. As for the remaining Dubelle, Haier is a proper substitute player. Commendable characteristics and resumes, and no super defensive ability and will, they can only play against relegation zone teams in Leeds United and against low-level clubs in the FA Cup.Once they meet a team like Southampton, their strength is enough.

Therefore, how to deploy the defensive lineup has become the primary consideration of coach O'Reilly.However, before he had time to make any adjustments and experiments, he led Leeds United into their first consecutive away game of the season. Only two days later, they started the third round of the Premier League. Once their opponent was the Hammers to help West Ham United.

At this time, West Ham United had just bid farewell to their former coach Redknapp and ushered in the coach Glenn Roddle who was promoted from the youth team. It can be said that West Ham is still a little turbulent, but No one dared to underestimate them.Because Glenn Roddle, who took over West Ham United halfway through, led the Hammers to achieve No.9 success last season, and they have repeatedly forced their opponents against Manchester United, Liverpool and other top teams. get points.

可以说是上个赛季英超冠军角逐中当之无愧的搅局者，但从另一方面来看西汉姆联的表现也颇有些两面性，在对阵联赛中下游球队时他们1-7负于布莱克本、0-5不敌埃弗顿、1-5负于切尔西，也让人们大跌眼镜。

But it is precisely because of this that people remember the Hammers, which performed very well against strong teams under the leadership of Rodell, and now Leeds United, which has come from afar, is a team in every aspect. Standard strong team.Sure enough, an amazing scene happened again. In this game, the Leeds United team took 17 shots and 8 shots on target, but none of them could break through the gate of West Ham United.

Among them, Kenny's three shots were either resolved by the goalkeeper bravely or only missed. This situation also made Kenny beat his thigh hard.Kenny, who was overwhelmed by Henry in the invisible competition between the two, showed his [-] points of strength in this game, but what made him vomit blood was that it seemed that God liked to see him helpless. In the end, he could only Helplessly lowered his head.

What's the situation~
The same is true of West Ham United on the other side!But for them, not losing is already a victory, so how can they be dissatisfied?It was a good thing to score points in the first two rounds!

So, just like that, Leeds United ended in a draw for the two away games in two consecutive games.

Among the major media reports on the game after the game, the title of The Times best reflected the mood of Leeds United: "Sure enough, the Hammers! "

At this time, there are still two rounds of league time before the start of the Champions League group stage, and the FA Cup, which is jointly participated by football clubs of all levels in England, is already in full swing, but because Leeds United is a Premier League team, they don't have to. Fight now, they won't join until after two knockout rounds.This also allows Leeds United still have sufficient time to make final adjustments.

But what is frustrating is that when they ended their away trip and returned to home against the newly promoted Bolton in the fourth round of the Premier League, Leeds United ended in a 0:0 draw again, which directly led to a total of six points for Leeds United after four rounds. , sitting firmly in the eighth position in the standings.The stable performance of Leeds United has also become the object of ridicule by the major media.

"Undefeated Guards Leeds United!Undefeated after four rounds! "

"Steady Progress, Steady Improvement!Get points every game and dominate the crowd! "

And amidst all the sarcasm, the atmosphere of the team gradually became more dignified in the daily training, and the number of times coach O'Reilly entered and exited the chairman's office increased. Obviously, he didn't have a good time, with a livid face. All anger.For this reason, the forwards started inhumane shooting training, while the defenders started high-intensity defensive training. Why did some people say that the kids in the midfield had nothing to do?
How can it be!Head teacher O'Reilly has a lot of ideas!Doesn't a shot require a pass?Doesn't defense need people to attack?Practice hard for me!

So amidst all the complaints, O'Reilly's complexion improved a little bit, but at the moment he was still extremely anxious. He knew better than anyone that the current Leeds United couldn't afford it, and that it would go bankrupt sooner or later. of!This is not alarmist talk. Too many holes were dug in the first half of the league, and they will not be able to fill in the second half!

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Kenny and Keane, who are training in full swing in the distance, don't let me down in the next game!The only two signings this season!
On September 2001, 9, the fifth round of the Premier League, Charlton Valley Stadium.

"Loris Kenny! If you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence! He scored the second goal for Leeds United in this game! This is also the second goal he has scored for Leeds United since joining! There is no doubt that Leeds United has secured the victory in this game!"

"Leeds United ended their three-round winless run, and then they can set their sights on the European arena with confidence!"
