Chapter 93

The matter about the agent has to be put aside for a while, because the next big battle is coming soon.

Leeds United, this is not an easy opponent to deal with. Just a few rounds ago, the two teams had just played a game. Although Southampton finally defeated the opponent with a score of [-] to [-] in that game, the two teams actually played an even match in that game.

Leeds United, the name actually represents an era for many fans, and represents the feelings of youth, whether they are Europeans or Chinese.

Many Chinese fans of the older generation listened to or even watched the youth storm represented by the white rose of Leeds United galloping across Europe. Leeds United has had many brilliance in history, and many of its players are well-known.

For example, the former Manchester United king Cantona, the current Red Devils central defender who created a world-record transfer of Rio Ferdinand, and Alan Smith, Dutch killer Hasselbaink, etc., look at these shining names, you will know that Leeds United and Manchester United are sworn enemies, and it is no surprise.

It is a pity that after entering the 21st century, Leeds United, which had experienced a short-term revival, was finally relegated after all, but after all, this is still a team that has always had foundation and strength, because it is only a few years before they are relegated.

Leeds United coach Kevin Blackwell stood quietly in front of the tactical board, simulating the formation of Southampton in these games.

The last defeat made Blackwell very dissatisfied. The two teams meet again so soon, this is definitely a good opportunity for him to revenge!
"Southampton's current 4-3-3 is very fierce on the offensive end. The wingers on both sides are extremely fast. The center forward Fuller can head the ball and play the ball in the middle. Midfielder Yunfei is the source of the team's offensive creativity. This is why Southampton can win consecutive victories after changing formations!"

"But we should note that their defense has not actually encountered too many tests. The most difficult game they played was actually the one against us and the last round that just ended. The difference between these two games is that we attacked first and then defended, but we didn't defend. Leicester City defended and defended, but in fact there was a great luck factor in being able to defend."

"Our strength on the offensive end is sufficient. We should put more offensive pressure on the opponent to suppress the opponent, get more scoring opportunities, and at the same time try to suffocate the speed of the opponent's counterattack. It is not easy to do this, but look at why Southampton played so hard before changing the formation. It is because of a problem with the defense. Now we are going to attack the opponent's defense again!"

Blackwell calmly analyzed how to deploy tactics for the next game. He has already made complete preparations. In this away trip, he is going to turn away from the guest and take Southampton into the army!
……

For Yunfei, Leeds United is indeed an impressive opponent. He still remembers the last game between the two sides. In his opinion, this is a strictly disciplined team. They will not discount the head coach's tactical arrangements at all, and absolutely execute tactics.Such a team is destined to be a tough nut to crack.

In the locker room before the game, Redknapp was also giving his final instructions to the players.

"I still know Blackwell very well. Although there is nothing new in the tactical arrangement, they are very targeted. This is the reason why the opponent's team performance is not bad. So we need to raise our spirits. Leeds United is likely to grab the start. After playing, we must pay attention to defense first, understand?"

"Understood!"

The players shouted loudly, and Redknapp was very satisfied with the high momentum. He nodded and the players started to walk out of the dressing room.

On the sidelines, there was a rare scene where the head coaches of the two teams shook hands and greeted each other. The relationship between the two head coaches seemed to be good?
"Kevin, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"

"Yes, Harry, we met twice in the first half of the season. It seems that we are the only two teams in this situation. It's really a fate!"

But at this time, no one can imagine what the two enthusiastic coaches are thinking in front of the camera.

"This guy Blackwell looks like he's trying to beat me. He just wants to win me. It's a good idea, but there's no way!"

"Redknapp, a guy who got lucky, led the team to relegation, and he can still meet so many good and talented players, God is not fair!"

Regardless of the open and secret fight between the two coaches, the game on the field has already begun!

From the beginning of the game, Yunfei felt something different. Although he expected that the opponent was going to grab the start, he really didn't expect such a big force.

"Leeds United began to suppress their opponents from the beginning. The five midfielders took control of the midfield forcefully. Southampton fell into a passive position from the beginning!"

As soon as the game started, Leeds United found a good opportunity to score on the offensive end. Perhaps it was because they hadn't fully entered the game just after playing. Left back Svensson made a pass error under pressure and passed the ball directly to the opponent's midfielder!
After Leeds United midfielder Sean Derry easily intercepted the ball, he did not stop the ball and passed the ball to his own right again. Here, Svensson still hadn't reacted to the mistake just now. Facing the opponent who was about to break through, his feet were obviously flustered, and he could only reach out in a hurry!
Robbie Black, who was about to break through, fell to the ground in response, creating a free kick opportunity for the team in front of the penalty area line, and Svensson, who stretched out his hand for a foul, was shown a yellow card by the referee at the beginning of the game. This means that Svensson will play the whole game with this yellow card on his back. This is undoubtedly very bad news for Southampton's defense!

Off the field, Redknapp shook his head lightly. Of course, he knew that his defense was not very reliable. It was just that the previous fierce offense covered up the weaknesses on the defensive end. However, in this game, when he encountered such a targeted and evenly matched opponent, he had a defensive problem.

Leeds United midfielder Eddie Lewis took the free kick. The Southampton players lined up a wall in the penalty area nervously. This position is quite dangerous. The opponent can even directly hit the goal with a free kick.
