Chapter 126 Forceful High [Sorrowful]

Arsenal is still the closest to Manchester City in the league. They beat Blackburn with 2 goals in an away game and continue to rank second with a gap of 12 points.

Arsenal is still stable. This season, their state has indeed reached its peak.

Ordinary teams would be easily defeated by them. In terms of strength, they were indeed outstanding.

The first and second positions are basically unchanged, and it is difficult for teams to catch up with them.

The position of the third Manchester United is also quite stable. Anyway, it is more than enough than the top. It seems that Abramovich's first season in charge can only be quite satisfactory. Now only the FA Cup and the Champions League are still hopeful.

However, I am afraid that this difficulty will not be small.

The fourth position is not certain.

Chelsea defeated Bolton by 2 goals in an away game. After ending an embarrassing five-round winless round, the points were once again tied with Liverpool, which lost to Southampton.

The fourth battle between these two teams seems to be decided at the end of the league.

The Champions League means great benefits, no team will give up.

After Leeds United in the relegation zone changed their boss, they defeated Fulham by 2 goals in an away game this round, and their ranking rose to third from the bottom.

However, there is still a gap of 5 points from Everton in front, and 7 points from Blackburn.

If Leeds United want to avoid relegation, they have to kill one of these two teams, which is not easy.

In the 29th round of the league, Leeds United played against Manchester City at home.

As soon as Jia received the invitation from Lao Wang, he also came to Elland Road Stadium to watch the game.

Now Lao Wang has completely controlled Leeds United, and the top management of the team has basically been replaced by his own people. Some retired players who played in the big team have now become the real power figures of Leeds United.

Even the coaching staff has Chinese people. The old coach Xu was hired by Lao Wang to help Eddie Gray coach the team.

Obviously, Lao Wang wants to make Leeds United full of Chinese elements.

Lao Xu's pressing tactic is actually a high-position pressing tactic, which is still used by teams in the Premier League.

After Lao Xu's guidance, Leeds United's high-position press played very well in these two rounds, otherwise, it would be difficult to score points.

Sitting next to Lao Wang, Jia Yi saw that this guy’s box had been redecorated. The last time he came here to watch a game, it wasn’t like this. This rich man is different. It's really comfortable to watch the ball inside.

At this point, Jia Yi felt ashamed.

After the start of the game, Manchester City still put on a defensive counterattack posture. Leeds United will attack with all their strength if they want to grab points at home.

Australian striker Viduka is very active. This guy is tall and has a good impact.

At 9 minutes, Mills made a pass from the wing, and Ledley King rarely appeared on the top. Viduka behind him easily pushed and scored 1:0, and the home team took the lead.

Elland Road is trembling!

Leeds fans must be very excited to score the goal of the defending champion first.

This proves that they still have strength and are expected to relegation.

"Haha, Xiao Jia, I'm sorry, we scored first." Lao Wang smiled and applauded in a happy mood.

Jia Yi said, "I'll let you alone first, and I'll beat you all to the ground later."

Lao Wang said: "That's not necessarily true. Our team is actually still in the mid-range. We have too many holes ahead, so we fell into the relegation zone. I am very confident that we will catch up in the next few rounds.

It's still too late, if it's just in time for the winter break, there is no way to add players now, and we can only use them. "

Jia Yi said: "The Leeds United team does have a solid background. Viduka, Barker, Batty, Mills, etc. are still good. The main reason is that a large number of main players left before the season, and the lineup has not been running well.

In the future, if you want to avoid relegation, you have to grab more points at home, but the difficulty is still quite high. There are no underdogs in the Premier League, so it is difficult to handle. "

Lao Wang nodded. After watching two games, he also has a comprehensive understanding of the Premier League and knows that what Jia Yi said is not a lie.

However, Lao Wang is already planning for next season, and after a lot of investment, Leeds United will definitely get back on track by then.

On the sidelines, the head coach of Leeds United, Eddie Gray, and Lao Xu also hugged each other happily. Leeds United has obviously recovered in recent rounds. If they can win a few consecutive victories, they can quickly boost the morale of the team , For relegation, the benefits are great.

Although this is a lucky ball, it is very important to Leeds United.

Eddie Gray was even more grateful for Lao Xu's help. Leeds United's aggressive press in these rounds obviously created a lot of opportunities.

Mourinho in the stands didn't look very good, and was a little dissatisfied with Ledley King's foul.

Ledley King is England's main central defender, and such mistakes should not be made.

Perhaps, up to this time period, players still have ups and downs. At this time, if they grit their teeth and persist, they can become superstars. If they can't persist, they can be a first-class star at most.

Ledley King has some minor knee problems, but he was still in good condition during training, so Mourinho will let him start.

It now appears that his knee still affects his performance.

Now Ferreira is not in good condition, and he didn't play the ball this time, which also caused some hidden dangers in Manchester City's defense.

Mourinho immediately gave Li Bing instructions to get Heinze to warm up.

After Heinze warmed up, the camera was also aimed at Ledlikin. Obviously, everyone had guessed that there was something wrong with Ledlikin.

Sure enough, not long after the re-kick-off, Heinze replaced Ledlikin.

Now Carvalho and Heinze are at a disadvantage in terms of height, but the defensive experience of the two is still good. One goes around the front and the other stays behind, and they echo each other a lot.

This also left Leeds United's offense without a chance.

However, Leeds United's fierce pressing also made Ronaldinho and Kaka a little uncomfortable. The two were knocked down many times, and the referee ignored it. This made Manchester City's offense have no chance.

In 20 minutes, after Batty uprooted Kaka from behind, the referee did not blow his whistle, and Leeds United captain Mateo rushed up and drove to the frontcourt.

The young player Lennon inserted at high speed, caught the ball and cut to the penalty area. Facing Carvalho's replacement, he volleyed vigorously. The ball hit Carvalho's leg and bounced into the goal. 2:0!

"Damn, what kind of luck is this?"

Jia Yi couldn't help complaining.

Lao Wang laughed loudly: "Haha, there are two, how is it? Today we are lucky, right? If we can kill the defending champion, who said we can't relegation?"

Jia Yi rolled his eyes and said, "It's just luck."

Lao Wang smiled and said: "We will just clean up the champions, haha, well done, with these 3 points, our confidence in relegation will be even greater."

Jia Yi couldn't help but nodded. Now that Leeds United are playing aggressively, Manchester City is a little uncomfortable.

The opponent is leading again in the main score, and now Manchester City can only attack, but after Kaka and Ronaldinho are restricted, Manchester City has to find a way to attack.

On both sides, Bolt and Del Horno should be closer, so that Kaka and Ronaldo have a clear goal when they score.

Mourinho should see this. There is still a lot of time to come, and Manchester City still has a chance to catch up.
