Chapter 622

It can't be said that the future star, Fellaini has actually attracted Everton's attention. At present, Everton seems to be interested in introducing Fellaini, but Everton, who has always been stingy, is arguing with Standard Liege about Fellaini's transfer.

So facing Leeds United is also a battle of proof for Fellaini. As long as he can perform well, Everton will definitely be willing to pay him more money, and even give him a better contract.

In fact, not only Fellaini, but also the young players in the Standard Liege team have this plan. The Champions League is a stage to show them, and facing strong teams shows their strength.

Is Leeds United a strong team?Different people have different opinions on this point of view, but one thing cannot be denied. Leeds United comes from the Premier League, and the attention far exceeds that of Standard Liege.

In fact, the players of Standard Liege didn't want to express themselves in front of Li Yi. After all, Li Yi's reputation is there, and so far, there has really been no player who has been favored by Li Yi and has not been kicked out.

The Cagliari players were either in the giants or transferred to the league powerhouses. Although they also stayed in Cagliari, this does not mean that they are not wanted, but they are not willing to transfer.

As for Real Madrid, the players who were kicked out after Li Yi's resignation all played the main force in each team. Even Robinho, who was looked down upon by Li Yi, did not perform as expected in the end, so much so that he was sold to Manchester City by Real Madrid.

Dufrasen Stadium, which is the home stadium of Standard Liege, a stadium that can accommodate 2000 people, and in this game, this stadium is full of seats.

The Champions League has a fatal attraction for any team, because the Champions League represents too many things, money, fame, and fortune. Whether it is the players themselves, the club or even the team, they are eager to appear on the big stage of the Champions League.

Standard Liege is eager to appear on the big stage of the Champions League, and Leeds United is also eager, so both sides will play the main penalty area in this game. Standard Liege sent the strongest lineup, Defour, Fellaini, Witsel, etc. all appeared.

As for Leeds United, all the main players started last season. Cahill replaced the departed Pepe, and Owen, who has Champions League experience, also started.

Although both sides have played the main force, there is still a huge gap in strength between the main force and the main force. In particular, Leeds United has made great progress in player strength after last season.

So at the beginning of the game, Leeds United took the absolute initiative and suppressed their opponents. In the first 10 minutes of the game, Standard Liege could hardly see Leeds United's goal.

Li Yi likes to take the initiative. If the opponent's strength is not much different, maybe Li Yi will be more cautious, but under the observation of the scout's eye, the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, so there is no need to be cautious.

This season, Leeds United's goals are ambitious. If they don't dare to take the initiative against a team with the strength of Standard Liege, then what will they do when they face the major European giants in the future.

No.16 minutes, Standard Liege completed the first shot of the game. Fellaini relied on his height and physical fitness, and Matic did not lose to Fellaini in this regard.

The Belgian midfielder is 194 tall and weighs 85KG, while Matic is also 194. Although the weight is 3KG lighter, don’t forget that the intensity of the Premier League is not comparable to that of the Belgian League.

Therefore, the physical confrontation that Fellaini is proud of in this game did not take much advantage, which is one of the reasons why Standard Liege started so passively.

Standard Liege's first shot was completed by De Camargo, but this shot did not pose any threat. The ball flew directly over the baseline and into the stands.

And just after Standard Liege's shot, Leeds United finally scored the first goal of the game. Bell wiped Sarr from the wing and cut into the penalty area. Owen followed up in the middle.

Under the influence of Owen, the defensive players failed to stop Bell at the first time, which gave Bell a chance to kick. I saw the Welsh winger shoot hard, and the ball directly passed the standard Liege goalkeeper, flew into the goal, and hit the goal net.

"1:0~~~ Leeds United's strong opening finally scored a goal." Almost everyone thought that Li Yi would start the game cautiously. After all, most of the players in the Leeds United team had never participated in the Champions League. Although it was only a qualifying match, this qualifying match was related to the Champions League.

But what happened?Leeds United showed their strength at the beginning, almost overwhelmed Standard Liege, and finally ushered in the first shot. As a result, Leeds United scored in the next attack.

Then Standard Liege wanted to counterattack, but unfortunately, the gap in strength made them unable to counterattack. On the contrary, after the goal, Leeds United's morale was very strong, and it was quite interesting to take advantage of the victory to pursue the game in one fell swoop.

No. 203 minutes, Irving missed a good opportunity to score, but unfortunately there is not enough understanding between them. Integration into the team and cultivation of understanding are two different things. Integration into the team refers to off-court and getting along with teammates. The tacit understanding needs time and experience on the court.

This time it was Mata's turn to break through from the side, and Owen once again wanted to be involved like Bell. As a result, Mata passed the ball when he found that Irving was in a better position, but at this time Owen took a step forward.

However, Leeds United expanded their lead before the first half. In the 304th minute of the first half, Fellaini defended Modric outside the penalty area, and Leeds United got a free kick.

The Bayesian arc reappeared in the Champions League. The round moon scimitar hit fatally. The ball drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the dead corner of the goal. All the standard Liege goalkeeper can do is watch the ball fly into the goal.

In the case of Leeds United 2:0, no one is optimistic about Standard Liege, but the players of Standard Liege obviously will not give up just like this, because the game is not only for the club, but also for themselves.

However, the efforts of the Standard Liege players in the first half did not change the score on the field. Leeds United entered the intermission with a two-goal advantage.

With Li Yi's always cautious character, he obviously wouldn't give Standard Liege a chance, so in the second half, Leeds United did not relax because of their two-goal lead.

Even in the 6th minute of the second half, Leeds United played a fast break. Beckham made a long pass, and Owen understood it. Although Owen and other players have not yet formed a tacit understanding, Beckham is different. The two have not only been teammates in the club, but also teammates in the national team.

Facing Irving's single goal, the goalkeeper of Standard Liege turned back to the goal for the third time in this game, and this goal further hit Standard Liege and suppressed the idea of ​​Standard Liege wanting to fight back.

In the end, Leeds United announced their return with a complete victory. Although there is still a second round, in the eyes of the media, Standard Liege is already out.
