football big winner

Chapter 583 The real test
Eriksson did not give up. Although Eriksson is getting more and more confused now, he is still a veteran coach who has been in multinational leagues and has rich experience.

So after the intermission, Manchester City's performance picked up in the second half, and even Manchester City suppressed Leeds United 10 minutes before the opening of the second half.

This also gave Manchester City fans hope. After all, Leeds United is only one goal ahead, and the 1:0 score is also the most unsafe score in the football world.

But unfortunately, what the Manchester City fans hoped for did not happen. Whether it was Varser or Benjani's shots, they still failed to break through the goal guarded by Adler.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Manchester City had a total of four shots. In addition to the two forwards, Varser and Benjani, Johnson and Ireland also had a long shot.

But in the end, these shots were all blocked by Adler. The Leeds United goalkeeper became the most hated person in Manchester City during this period, and he was omnipotent to block high shots.

In these 15 minutes, Leeds United also played a counterattack, but Leeds United still lacks the ability to grasp opportunities. Although Bell and Lennon have improved in the past two months, grasping opportunities requires not only technology but also experience.

Olic has enough experience, but his room for improvement is very small. After all, experience and talent are equally important, not to mention that the Croatian striker will be 29 years old in a few months.

Substitution, Leeds United was the first to make a substitution in this game, and Li Yi's substitution was not at all innovative. Falcao replaced Olic in a matchup.

Seeing this substitution by Leeds United, Eriksson didn't dare to be careless, and immediately called the captain of Manchester City to his side, while on the other side, Li Yi looked disapproving.

Because Li Yi knew that if he cheated on Falcao, no matter how Eriksson made adjustments, the result would not change in any way.

Falcao didn't let Li Yi come from afar?No, it's actually only two hours' drive from Leeds to Manchester, so it's not that far.

In the 707th minute of the game, Lennon made a pass from the side, and Falcao rose into the air. Instead of a header, he kicked and kicked to death. Joe Hart failed to make any saves this time.

"It's over~~~ Leeds United will usher in a seven-game winning streak, and Bruce Lee will lead a six-game winning streak." Since Li Yi took office, Leeds United has never lost a game while leading, let alone leading by two goals now.

And with Li Yi leading Leeds United to this wave of crazy winning streak, Leeds United gradually forgot Guardiola, football is sometimes like this reality.

Speaking of Guardiola, Guardiola, who returned to Barcelona, ​​did a pretty good job. He even boldly used the 21-year-old Messi, who is two months away, as the new core of the team, and transferred several young players from the youth team.

Barcelona is ushering in a change, and it is still changing in a good direction. Leeds United is not bad here. A wave of crazy winning streak is enough to explain the problem, and it also fully reflects Li Yi's ability.

After all, Leeds United during the Guardiola period did not have such a winning streak, and if you observe Leeds United carefully, you will definitely find that Leeds United has changed.

For example, Leeds United's opponents in the next round, Arsenal's home match with Aston Villa ended a day ago, and Arsenal once again received a draw.

In the case of Manchester United's 3:0 victory over Fulham, the next game against Leeds United must not be missed. Otherwise, Manchester United will completely catch up with Arsenal.

So in this game, not only did Arsenal's chief data analyst sit in the stands, but Wenger himself led the coaching staff to watch the game between Leeds United and Manchester City in the tactical room.

Li Yi didn't know that Arsenal was already watching him. Although Li Yi had been watching Arsenal all the time, as a head coach who had won two Champions League titles, Li Yi's eyes were actually on the four giants of the Premier League.

However, the game needs to be played game by game. Even if you observe and study your opponents, you can't lose everything. If you can't win against other opponents, then why challenge the giants.

Back at the Manchester Stadium, Leeds United, which was leading by two goals, did not take it lightly, because after Leeds United scored the second goal, the head coach Li Yi stood on the sidelines.

Young players need to be supervised at all times, whether it is off the pitch or on the pitch, this is also to let the young players develop good hopes, so Li Yi's supervision on the sidelines made the young players on the pitch of Leeds United dare not be good or take it lightly.

On the other side, Eriksson began to adjust personnel, but his adjustments still could not change Manchester City's disadvantages on the field, especially after Leeds United scored the second goal, the initiative on the field returned to Leeds United's feet again.

However, Leeds United still needs a little time in terms of opportunities, so the score on the field has not changed. Leeds United finally won the opponent again with a score of 2:0, and really made their winning streak reach 7 games.

Winning 7 games in a row, but if it is considered unbeaten, then Leeds United will have 14 games. Since losing to Arsenal in the No. 14 round, Leeds United has never lost again.

It is also a coincidence that Leeds United's unbeaten start began after losing to Arsenal, and in the next round, Leeds United will face Arsenal again.

After Manchester City lost to Leeds United, the English media can only transfer their hopes to Arsenal. From the last match, and Leeds United's opponents in recent rounds, Arsenal may finally end Leeds United's winning streak.

Because after the game with Arsenal, Leeds United's next strong opponent will be Chelsea, who eliminated Leeds United in the FA Cup after five rounds.

Football is never a simple question of winning or losing, and football matches are never just based on strength on paper. If you don't play any games, just declare the giants to win.

However, the stability of Leeds United's seven rounds had to make the media prepare for the worst. This was the influence brought by Li Yi. Unknowingly, the media continued to uplift Leeds United, and promoted Leeds United to be second only to the giants.

The next game against the giants will be very critical. If Leeds United can achieve a good result, the media will once again elevate Leeds United, and then they will be able to compete with the giants. But if they lose, the evaluation of Leeds United will definitely decline.

So the next game against Arsenal, Chelsea and even Manchester United must not be missed, because this will be related to whether Leeds United can truly become a giant.

Chelsea has been known as a wealthy family in just a few years. Apart from the fact that the Russian oligarchs are throwing money, it is because Chelsea did not fall behind in the face of other giants, and even performed stronger.
