Chapter 322 Three-game losing streak and Liverpool

Although the singing in the stands was still there, it did nothing to restore the decline of Leeds United. When the referee Walton blew the whistle for the end of the game, Leeds United happily harvested their three-game losing streak in the league. At the end of the season, it was enough Fatal league three-game losing streak.With [-] rounds left in the league, it doesn't mean that Leeds United must have no hope, but obviously, how can the rest of the competitors slacken themselves?

When O'Reilly shook hands with Wenger and walked off the field, there were swarms of reporters. In the mixed zone, O'Reilly only accepted the interview hastily and didn't stay long.As for the players of Leeds United, most of them have already left. Only Woodgate, the captain, was interviewed on behalf of the whole team. Everyone knows what they lost.No one said anything about ambition at this time, and the feeling of loss enveloped everyone, especially the players who had fought with the Arsenal players before the game, and they were even more shameless.

Kenny sat on the bench with a blank expression. None of the Leeds United players played to their due level in this game, and each of them had to pay for the loss.

February 2002, 2, two days later.

Elland Road Stadium, Premier League No.20 five rounds.

Leeds United continue to host Liverpool.

No.303 minutes of the first half, Owen received Gerrard's through ball and successfully broke through the gate of Martin's handle. Leeds United fell behind 0:1 at home again. dissatisfied boos.Sweat was dripping from his forehead Kenny was as exhausted as the teammates around him. For two days they were under tremendous pressure while conducting high-intensity training. Their verbal criticism made the players overwhelmed, and their cynicism and praise for Arsenal were enough to make every Leeds United player angry.

But they can only endure, because they were once overwhelmed by Arsenal on the field, and they did not play their own characteristics. The reason for winning and losing is as simple as that.This is even more so in the world of football. Everyone knows that if the result of the game is that Leeds United wins, then everything in the outside world will be reversed. But now, sorry, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only bear it !

As Woodgate said in an interview after the game: "In this game we didn't play our due form and level and lost the game. Football is like this. If you can't do your best then The other teams deserve to win, we have no excuses, we can only do our best to prepare for the next game."

Under such circumstances, the subsequent match against Liverpool became a good opportunity for Leeds United players to prove themselves again, but I don’t know why the coach O’Reilly still adopted a 4-4-2 formation in this game , but this time the starting players became Kenny and Viduka.This game was played very hard. Compared with the match against Arsenal, Liverpool appeared to be more similar to Leeds United in strength, so the situation was once tight and sweaty.But it was also in this game that Liverpool coach Houllier performed his midfield counterattack philosophy to the fullest. He didn't have too much possession of the ball, and he didn't have the dazzling midfielder with Liverpool's feet. A cold-blooded shot with the sword sealing the throat.

When Liverpool opened the scoring with Owen, a horrible word came to the minds of all Leeds United, the collapse at the end of the season
No one expected that this humiliation match would become a one-sided exhibition game for Liverpool, which was more oppressive than the match against Arsenal, so the boos all over the sky became the only thing that could make people feel the presence of Leeds United at the Elland Road Stadium. The players on the field were beaten out of their wits, and the fans in the stands were outraged.Obviously this is not what they want, let alone the Young Guards they are familiar with.

O'Reilly roared frantically and helplessly on the long side. He hoped to wake up his disciples with his voice, but he failed to do so. Leeds United seemed to be wandering in the sky throughout the first half, but thankfully Only one of Liverpool's four shots on target scored.Whether it's Leeds United goalkeeper Martin's brave performance or Liverpool's lack of ability to seize opportunities, in short, the suspense of the game was finally preserved until the second half without any danger.

The 0:1 score is not irreversible, but now everything depends on whether O'Reilly can turn decay into magic in a short intermission!

"Gentlemen, what are you doing!!!! Is the air conditioner in the locker room too cool!? Or is it that the cold weather outside makes you unable to perform as you should!" Several Leeds United outside the locker room The staff of the club stood there to prevent anyone from approaching, but if there were any curses coming from the door, people could clearly capture O'Reilly's anger at the moment.After the game against Arsenal, he had an in-depth exchange with chairman Ridsdale. At such a critical moment, Ridsdale clearly expressed his support for O'Reilly, and once again expressed his support to O'Reilly. Strengthened his determination.

Regardless of whether Leeds United will win the Champions League next season, or whether they will win the championship this season, Ridsdale believes that O'Reilly is currently the most suitable head coach for Leeds United, and he also told O'Reilly that he will continue to play. The big team lineup is perfect.

For Mr. Chairman, who has never been given preferential treatment, I have to say that O'Reilly's heart is indeed ignited with the determination to die for his confidant.But at the same time, O'Reilly is also clear about what kind of critical situation Leeds United will face if all four players are empty this season. Therefore, he is eagerly faced with a choice, whether to continue this two-line struggle, or at the end of the season. The state of mind makes the final choice.

The current situation is actually very obvious. Although the opponent in the semi-finals of the Champions League is a big dark horse, for Leeds United, they have enough confidence to beat their opponents. In fact, they are only left with the victory between Manchester United and Real Madrid to win the Champions League. By.The league situation on this side is much more sinister. After three consecutive defeats, Leeds United has no hope of winning the championship, but they can indeed compete for the Champions League qualification next season!How to choose will be an urgent problem for Leeds United at present. After all, all the players in the team at this moment understand this accurately.
