Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The new situation is not good.

"Of course it won't have any impact, ma'am! Although some players have left the team, aren't there new players joining us at the same time? And I'm still the head coach of Leeds United. With the addition of new players, our tactical style will become more and more varied. The overall strength of Leeds United will only become stronger and stronger. How can it decline?"

Li Shiguang's answer continued his previous confident and arrogant style. Most reporters also like to hear this kind of answer that is full of contrast with public opinion, so that they have more things to write.

After answering several reporters' questions, Li Shiguang saw that the time was almost up, so he left the venue and went to the locker room to prepare for the game.

When Li Shiguang walked into the stadium, Eddie Gray was introducing the starting list of Leeds United.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Elland Road welcomes you again!"

"Next, let's take a look at Leeds United's starting lineup today."

"It is very different from the last game. Today, Li arranged a 4-4-2 formation, with Falcao and Berbatov on the front line, and the four players in the midfield are Ribery, Milner, Modric and Xabi Alonso who just joined Leeds United! Let's give the warmest applause and cheers to this new friend who just joined the Leeds United family, okay?"

Even though many fans still think that using Deisler and even adding some money to exchange for a defensive midfielder is a bad move by Li Shiguang, but with the leadership of Eddie Gray, everyone still gave Alonso the most basic respect, and a round of applause and cheers were given to Alonso standing on the court.

"Let's continue. On the back line, there are two unshakable main players, Lahm and Maicon. But in the central defender position, Li sent out the combination of young players Pique and Kompany today. The goalkeeper position is still the most stable Schmeichel!"

····

"It went in! Berbatov's shot! Oh~~~~~~ What a pity. Yossi is in good shape today. He has made two good saves!"

"But, friends, our head coach seems to have completed another good deal! Because Berbatov's two shots just now came from Alonso's precise through passes in the midfield! This is beyond my expectation. When he was in Liverpool before, why didn't I find him so strong!?"

It has been almost 10 minutes since the start of the game. Leeds United has the upper hand on the field, allowing the fans around to watch the game with a very relaxed mentality. Eddie Gray's teasing commentary just now also caused a burst of laughter from the fans in the audience. After laughing, everyone also gave Alonso warm applause again!

Standing on this green field, who doesn't want to be the focus of the whole stadium?

In less than 10 minutes, Alonso enjoyed the applause given to him twice, and he found that he gradually began to like this place.

Not only because of the applause of the fans, but also because of the attention given to him by Li Shiguang, which was different from Benitez!

Alonso landed in the Premier League in the summer of the previous year, but his first year in Liverpool was not very smooth. Not long after he came, he injured his ankle in the game against Chelsea. He didn't return to the game until the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. Later, the priceless equalizer goal he scored in the Champions League final made him a hero of Liverpool, and also made Alonso win his first Champions League.

When he was in Liverpool, Alonso knew that Benitez valued him very much. As long as he was healthy, he would always be the main force, but he was just the main force.

Just as Moores and Benitez said before, on the football field, there is always only one core of Liverpool, and that person is Steven Gerrard!

In the partnership with Gerrard, Alonso's less aggressive personality and more "blue-collar" style of play compared to Gerrard made him contribute more on the defensive end, and he didn't have many opportunities to run to the front of the penalty area to fire.

I thought I would also play this role after coming to Leeds United, but after the training yesterday, the coach who looked a little more handsome than me pulled Modric and me to the sidelines and clearly explained his tactical arrangements. He asked Modric and me to play "dual core" and told myself that as long as there was a chance, I could join in the attack. As long as I felt that the ball could threaten the opponent, I would have unlimited firing rights!

Alonso's activeness after the opening made Bol

Leeds head coach Sam Allardyce felt something was wrong, and he felt vaguely that he seemed to have missed something.

Allardyce and Li Shiguang had played against each other a few months ago, and so far in the season, it was generally agreed that Leeds United's attack was initiated from Modric, so before this game, Allardyce specifically told his midfielders to keep Modric under control and not let him pass the ball easily. In Allardyce's opinion, Deisler had already left Leeds United, and once he completely froze Modric, Leeds United's attack would be in chaos!

But in the past few minutes, the situation on the field was a little confusing for him. Modric was indeed frozen in the midfield. Basically, as soon as he got the ball, 2-3 Bolton players would rush forward to grab it. But after being robbed twice, Modric stopped taking the ball. As soon as the ball reached his feet, if he found that Bolton players were surrounding him to grab it, he would immediately pass it to Alonso who was waiting next to him. Then Alonso would comfortably send a precise through pass or over the top ball without anyone defending! If it weren't for Yusi's good condition, the Bulgarian would probably have scored twice in just a short while...

"No! This can't go on. The Spaniard's playing style today seems a little different from when he was in Liverpool. We must be targeted!" Allardyce thought to himself as he walked towards the sidelines. He wanted to rearrange the team's defensive strategy!

And on the field, it was Leeds United's offensive round again.

Just like the previous times, Alonso just received the ball from Modric. There was no defensive player in front of him, so he quickly ran to the opponent's half with the ball. Just after passing the midfield, Bolton's midfielder George came up to block his passing route.

Seeing someone rushing up to defend, Alonso raised his head and looked to the left without panic. At the same time, his body's center of gravity changed slightly, and he made a gesture of wanting to pass the ball to the left. Seeing his appearance, George, who rushed up to defend, also moved his body's center of gravity slightly with him.

As a result, Alonso saw his center of gravity shift to the left, and instantly retracted his right foot that had been stretched out, and then quickly used his left foot to push the ball to the right, and the whole person passed George's right!

"Nice fake move! He passed his opponent!"

Eddie Gray exclaimed!
