Although the Peacock Legion, which is now at the top of Europe, has made refreshing achievements in Europe in the past two years, and its sharp offense is even more eye-catching, there is such an ordinary team in the bustling city of Leeds. What an irony is the club! ?They don't have an enviable net worth. If they want to continue to move forward in the football world, they can only keep up with the pace of signings from the Premier League's giants through a large amount of debt. They are not far behind .

Everything that has been endured in the past has paid off at this moment. The humiliation of being ridiculed by media reporters and rejected by bankers seems to be no longer important at this moment!After the thrill of football, what remains is unparalleled beauty. The stubbornness in the past has won the best harvest and reward!Young Leeds United fans stood on the tables and chairs in the stands and waved huge team logo flags. They were the makers of noise and shouting. They were the main force that put pressure on opponents and referees. They were the best backing for the players. .

And many middle-aged and elderly fans, especially the elderly fans, did shed tears of joy at this moment, at this moment of deafening cheers. They don't sing and dance like young people, they just keep going. Applauding loudly, he sent his most sincere applause to the cheering players on the field and all the staff of Leeds United. It was only during this gap that they couldn't help but reach out and wipe away their tears.

These elderly fans brought their sons and grandsons who were influenced by themselves and became Leeds United fans to come to Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland to witness the great moments in the history of this club. They saw Leeds United when they were young. Glorious, they have also seen dark turmoil, they have seen the despair of falling into League Two, and they have also seen the glory of the end of League One.

In the early days of the Premier League, they were the supporting roles of Liverpool and Manchester United, who swept England. A few years ago, they were defeated by the Red Empire in the hands of Ferguson. But relying on himself to stand on the podium of the highest level competition in the European club field! ! !

From 1920 to 1960 when they first entered the professional arena, they went through countless relegations and promotions. When they were re-promoted to League One in the 55-56 season, they had the Welshman John Charles, the biggest hero of the team's promotion. Unfortunately, The outstanding performance of this great passer has attracted the attention of many top European clubs, but coach Recky Carter failed to persuade Charles to stay in the team, so Charles joined Juventus in Serie A for a then-record £65000 , Since then, Leeds United has declined again!

Under such circumstances, it was not easy to survive the glorious era of the legendary coach Don Rivet from 1961 to 1974, and won the club's first league championship, but lost the triple crown, becoming the eternal club in its peak period. pain.

And when Rivet left Leeds United to take charge of the England national team in 1974, Leeds United entered the most chaotic dark 44 days in the history of the team. Instead, he invited Brian Clough, who was a well-known enemy at the time, to become Levi's successor. This also caused Leeds United, which had different generals, to lose consecutive games, and finally changed coaches in 44 days. .

After that, Leeds United fell into a long-term decline and fell to the bottom until 1988, when Leeds United, which fell to tenth in the English League Two, ushered in a new coach Howard Wilkinson.The coach who has focused on building an impactful team at the beginning of his tenure, not only brought in strong reinforcements with sharp eyes, but also promoted outstanding young players from the youth team to the team, including the veteran players in the current team. Champions League hero Batty.

So in the 1989-90 season, Leeds United under Howard returned to League One as the champion of League Two after 8 years, and in order to cope with League One, which pays more attention to technology, Wilkinson began to further transform the team again. , so that Leeds United successfully won the League One Championship in the 1991-92 season, and this is the last top league championship in the club's history so far!
Of course, during Wilkinson's tenure, he not only helped Leeds United win 1 League One Championship, 1 League Two Championship, and 1 Community Shield Championship, more importantly, Wilkinson also stayed for Leeds United. A precious legacy - the team's youth training system.Paul Hart, who was the coach of the Leeds United youth team at the time, helped the team establish a comprehensive youth training academy, so in the following years, the youth training system sent a large number of outstanding young players to Leeds United, and Wilkinson therefore Has always been regarded by fans as the greatest head coach in the club's history after Rivet.

Today, a large part of the main players in the Leeds United team come from this youth training system that connects the past and the future, and this is why Leeds United has been able to go so far successfully and is known as the Young Guards!
From 1961 when the head coach Don Rivet followed the example of Real Madrid, who dominated Europe at the time, and changed the color of the team's uniforms to all white, in the hope that the team could achieve the same achievements as the opponent, until now in 2002, during the period 42 years of waiting, the efforts of countless pioneers, and the careful transformation of countless coaches have finally made Leeds United and Levi's dream come true!

Today, in this game that determines the ownership of European hegemony, they defeated Real Madrid, which they emulated, and set foot on the top of Europe!

42 years! !A full 42 years!When Leeds United changed their white jerseys, how many fans knew that they would wait for 42 years! ?And how many 42 years can a person's life have?These elderly fans were fortunate to witness this legendary scene, but more fans never saw Leeds United set foot on the top of Europe in their entire lives! ! !
They have experienced the darkest moment in the history of the Leeds United club, but what scares them the most is not how many championships they lose, or how many times they are defeated by the enemy, but that they can't see a hopeful future at all!They don't know when Leeds United will be able to regain their strength, especially after entering the Premier League era. The concept of Jinyuan football has penetrated even more, and the club is even more in debt for this reason, just for a desperate fight!Fight for a future of their own. They have young talents like Bowyer, Alan Smith, Barker, and Robinson. !

And today they did it!Hope came, and they caught it!Go through the darkest moment and spell out the future!A bright future! ! !

As one elderly fan put it in an interview: "42 years! 42 years! 42 years ago I was a tall guy in his 20s! I was with my dad every weekend Will go to Elland Road to support Leeds United, whether he is in League One or League Two! Now I will take my son and grandson to Elland Road every weekend to support Leeds United, whether he is in League One or League Two! The Premier League is still in the Championship!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help humming this popular and long-sung ballad in front of the camera.

"We march with Leeds, put out our hands, stand up and sing for Leeds; we are the greatest in the world, and every day we say, we love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! Wherever you are, We are always together, we love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
