Chapter 126 That person is really coming back!

After the match against Inter Milan, Simon Grayson smiled with satisfaction at the post-match press conference. When he was talking to the reporters, he seemed to have initially gained the style of a famous coach.

"The victory in this game was beyond my expectations. I know the strength of the team very well. In fact, we do not have the ability to fight on both sides now, but we can occupy the second place in the league and reach the quarterfinals in the Europa League. This bothered me and the team's management very much. We had to make some choices. In the end, we chose the league because the results of the league are the foundation of a team. Although the UEFA Cup is also very important, the chance of the cup is too great, and we cannot bet on it! However, my players are indeed very outstanding, and the young men have won a very important victory."

Stramachoni also had a smile on his face. The young coach also saw it clearly. Leeds United really didn't plan to fight with him in the Europa League. It was not unacceptable that his team lost 1:2. A away goal even gave Inter Milan some advantages in the two-leg confrontation. How could he be dissatisfied?

The harmonious ending of the two head coaches made the reporters very dissatisfied. The game was already dull enough. You two had to say something nutritious, but they all fart like Lord Lafayette. How can you write this news?

No one cared about the reporters' worries. Simon Grayson and Stramajoni shook hands with each other and left. The two of them were really satisfied with the result of today's game.

The "Young Guards" originally wanted to give up and defeated a team like Inter Milan 2-1 at home, even if they were eliminated in the end, it would be very decent.

Now that Stramajoni, who is suppressed in the Italian domestic league, is left with only a life-saving straw like the Europa League. He has to win the championship before he can continue to stay next season, but it is only possible. Once he fails, he will definitely be dismissed. Leeds United voluntarily gave up and sent himself to the semi-finals. Stramajoni even felt grateful to Simon Grayson in his heart!

When Leeds United took a day off and started preparing for the match against Chelsea, the current No. 1 "Gunner" Arsenal coach suddenly put pressure on Leeds United.

"Professor" Wenger first told the reporters that "Leeds United has played one less game. So from the standings, they will be the favorites to win the championship", but then he said, "It's really difficult for Leeds United to win Chelsea at home. Although Chelsea is not in good shape this season, they are still a giant team."

Wenger's words seemed to be very contradictory, and some reporters passed this voice to Simon Grayson, the Leeds coach has been coaching for many years. Although he used to be together in low-level leagues, he had seen such "psychological wars". Wenger just wanted to disrupt Leeds United's mentality and achieve the effect of profit from chaos.

But... it's not that easy!

Simon Grayson also made his own voice through reporters: "Arsenal hasn't won the championship for many years, how many years have it been... Oh, I can't remember it. Anyway, they just don't have the championship. Now they lost 0:1 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. After playing a league game, they have to play the Champions League again. If I were Wenger, I would have a headache! Hahaha... Oh, the championship belongs to this season? I think the final championship this season will definitely be produced from the two teams of Manchester United and Manchester City......We? Hahaha. The goal of our Leeds United has never been a champion, we are a newly promoted team. It is already amazing that we can achieve the current results!"

The "Professor"'s attack failed to achieve any effect. Instead, Simon Grayson made clear the huge pressure the "Gullers" under, and his words came true, just like a curse. The "Gullers" lost 0:1 to the "Magpie" Newcastle away in the 32nd round of the English Premier League in advance on Saturday, April 13.

Normally speaking, Arsenal is really unlikely to lose to Newcastle, but who made Arsenal take into account the Champions League matches?

Manchester United, who also has the task of the Champions League, easily defeated West Brom 2:0 at home with the main force and substitute lineup before the "Young Guards" had not yet played the game. The "Red Devils" jumped to the throne of the leader and surpassed Arsenal by one point.

After the result came out, Simon Grayson was very happy to accept an interview from the reporter. He said something really, and attacked the "professor" in front of the media insincerely. It was nothing more than Wenger's stingy and conceited old habits, but this was never possible in the past. This time, this incident was an obvious signal... Today, Simon Grayson is already a top-notch coach in English football.

After saying goodbye, Simon Grayson still has to take the team to actively prepare for the game with Chelsea. The relationship between these two teams determines that every collision they will not end in a harmonious manner. If they don’t go all out to fight to the death, I’m sorry to the fans at all!

The "Blue Army" Chelsea is very different from the beginning of the season. The "From Coach" Di Matteo's transformation of the team ended in failure. He himself had to leave England, and his successor was also a famous coach... Benitez!

In winter, workaholic Benitez came to Chelsea. His understanding of English football, his coaching experience and team leadership performance have become the most important thing for the "Blue Army". Of course, what the boss Abu hopes to see most is that Espanyol can activate the killer Torres, which spent 50 million pounds on the team, poached from the "Red Army".

It’s a pity that Chelsea is really a mess at the moment. The team failed to complete the transformation according to Di Matteo’s plan, and the previous framework was completely disrupted. The combat effectiveness of the "Blue Army" has also plummeted. The ranking of this season may make them unable to even enter the Europa League next season.

Benitez's arrival only strengthened the team's defensive ability. After Benitez took charge of coach Seal, the "Blues" just lost to the "Gunners" Arsenal. After that, he won four consecutive victories and a draw in the league. The team's performance has become steadily improved, which indeed shows the coaching ability of the "Spanish waiter".

However, after leading the team to Leeds, Espanyol seemed very humble: "Leeds United's performance this season is a miracle. It is hard for us to imagine that a team with young players as the main body can perform so well before the season. They have become a phenomenon. This away game is very important to us and also to Leeds United. We need to continue to move forward in the standings, and Leeds United needs victory to continue to maintain their hope of winning the championship. Everyone knows the relationship between the two teams, so... this will be a fierce battle. The team and I are ready to fight."

Although Chelsea is Leeds United's mortal enemy and their performance this season is far inferior to Leeds United, Simon Grayson still dare not underestimate this opponent: "Chelsea is a strong team. They have the strength to win any game. We will be the most prepared and we will never give up easily."

The head coaches of both teams are very cautious about this game, and the players are even more so. The captain Jonny Hausen, who has recovered from injuries, has returned from the front line. His statement is that in such a critical battle, he must be Jonny Hausen, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Jonny Hausen's injury has not fully recovered, but Captain Leeds' fighting spirit is too strong. His desire to fight has infected Simon Grayson. Seeing that Jonny Hausen is in good condition, Leeds coach finally decided to let his captain come back to play this critical game, but the news still needs to be blocked, so he can give his opponent a "surprise".

Sure enough, at the press conference before the game, when Simon Grayson announced his team's starting lineup, Benitez's expression became serious on the side. Espanyol really envied his opponent. Compared with the "Young Guards" who just regained the captain, the current situation of the "Blue Army" can be said to be terrible.

Cavani, Lukaku, Mata, David Luis, Terry, Sturridge and other stars were injured and could not get out of the injured barracks for a while. The Spaniards were carrying the "Blue Army" forward with a lineup that was put together. This feeling of difficulty was really annoying.

While the two head coaches attended the press conference, a figure was found at the Elland Road Stadium that made countless English fans both disgusted and missed... Mourinho!

Mourinho, who appeared in the stands of Elland Road, was caught by the TV director. The hairstyle of the "Madman" did not change much, but the number of hair was smaller and there were a few more silvery whites. However, his sharp eyes and firm expression still made people feel that he was such a sharp man.
