Chapter 150 New Pattern

After defeating German powerhouse Schalke 7-1 at home in the first Champions League, the "Youth Guards" gained too much.

This is a young team!

Younger...excessive!

Head coach Simon Grayson has no coaching experience that is worthy of praise, and he has never even had an experience in coaching Premier League teams before, let alone the registered event of the Champions League. He used to be able to watch it on TV, but now he "slaughtered" Schalke 04 at home, which made Simon Grayson, who had been walking on thin ice before, raise his head.

Among the players, there was only one "Beast" who had experience in the Champions League. A group of young boys were inevitably nervous when they played the Champions League for the first time, but now... these boys are so confident that they are a little arrogant. They think that the level of the Champions League is actually that way, not much higher than that of the Premier League!

This confidence is of course different from underestimating the enemy, only because the young men of Leeds United have unknowingly become a level that they cannot imagine.

Back in the league, with the fierce momentum of defeating Schalke 04 with 7:1, Leeds United easily defeated Aston Villa with a score of 3:0 at home.

It is worth mentioning that taking advantage of the team's morale and strong state, Simon Grayson directly used the rotation system and played against the four strong opponents of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Schalke 04 in a row, some players really need to rest.

Of course, Simon Grayson did not dare to rotate all of them. He just used Snowdgrass to replace Swedish boy Pivkovsky. Although the Scots have become a substitute, the age of 26 makes it easy for him to maintain his form. Moreover, he has been in the team for six years, and his diligent style is absolutely trustworthy. If it weren't for the fact that his ability was indeed inferior to Pivkovsky, he would definitely be the main player. Although he did not score a goal in this game, he received an assist.

In addition, "Little Ben" Chris Farley replaced Ben Parker. This 17-year-old guy performed well when he warmed up before the season and was very active in training. In addition, he was also affiliated with the "Swordsman Group", so the interpersonal relationship was fine. He performed very well in this game, with 61 attempts to pass 54 times, 3 steals, 6 interceptions, and 2 headers. He performed quite amazingly on the defensive end, but he only had 2 shots in offense. He made 4 crosses without success. For the "Young Guards" who have developed a tradition of full-back assists in recent years, he is obviously only a "Little Ben".

In addition to these two, John Fleck also replaced Jonny Hausen as the starter, but his performance was still ordinary, which was far from Captain Leeds.

"Big Big Black" Ameobi continued to appear in the starting lineup. He and "Beast" are indeed tacit partners with complementary styles. Both of them also scored a goal. They also gave assists to the opponent.

Central defender Red also scored a goal in this game by taking advantage of the corner kick opportunity. The increasingly outstanding young New Zealand guard has indeed become the best team to enter the giants.

Although Leeds United has many competitions such as the League Cup and Premier League, their opponents are not very strong. Simon Grayson naturally took rotations as much as possible, but no matter how he rotated, the core of this team will never move, that is Shaq.

For Leeds United, if Shaq is not on the court, their combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 40%. The smooth tactical cooperation in the past cannot be achieved. Shaq's physical condition is abnormal, so Simon Grayson simply won't rotate him.

Another person with fewer rotations is the only forward line. The only forwards in Leeds United now are Tevez, Nelson Oliveira, Ameobi. Pivkowski, Snoldgras and others can only play guest appearances, and the physical energy consumption of forward players is not much. The rotation can guarantee the game rate.

Barnetta, Vogt, "Little Ben", David Bentley, Odi, Conorri, Ashley Hood, Hamette Altentop and others all got a lot of opportunities to play.

Although the strongest lineup of the "Young Guards" has not appeared for a long time, the team's record is amazing. They actually... have kept winning!

After defeating Aston Villa 3-0 in the fifth round of the Premier League...

In the third round of the League Cup, he defeated Leicester 5-2 away.

On September 28, in the sixth round of the English Premier League, Leeds United played against Derby County away. Before the game, Derby County head coach "Big Sam" Allardys held a grudge and made a harsh statement: "Leeds United want to win the championship? Ha! Saturday! It's this Saturday! We will beat Leeds at home, and I will make Simon Grayson and his team wake up. The dream of a championship is something that no one can do."

Simon Grayson didn't say anything when facing the reporters' "message" before the game, but he took out the most powerful weapon of the "Youth Guards" during the game... The "Three Musketeers of Leeds" left-road offensive system!

So……… “Big Sam” was in a tragedy!

Just 7 minutes into the game, Shaq pushed David Bentley's cross into the goal just in front of the left post of Derby County... 1:0, Leeds United, who played away, easily led the lead.

After the morale of the army was settled, the "Young Guards" began to wave the butcher knife in their hands and ruthlessly slaughtered their opponents...

Most of the people in this Leeds United team were trained by Simon Grayson, and there are also the three core people he promoted and trained by the "Three Leeds Musketeers". How could a disciple watch the teacher be indifferent to being humiliated?

In 20 minutes, Shaq made an accurate 35-meter long pass in the middle of the field and found Nelson Oliveira in front. The Portuguese boy was not greedy for me and gave it to Tevez on the left with a head. The Argentine striker pushed the ball and rolled into the dead corner of the lower right corner of the Derby County goal... 2:0!

Three minutes later, Leeds United issued a tactical foot ball. Red received a wonderful pass from Bentley on the right side of the free throw point, and scored again with a fury shot... 3:0!

44 minutes. Nelson Oliveira scored a leap shot outside the penalty area, and the score became 4:0!

In the first half, the injury time was 1 minute. Captain Leeds dribbled the ball and ran 35 meters in the counterattack. The two opponents ran for half a stadium but didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. In the end, Jonny Hausen made the score 5:0 with a low shot!

"Big Sam"'s face was bloated. He never dreamed that Simon Grayson was so cruel. He had never thought of fighting with Leeds United in the morning. Derby County was not of the same level as his opponent. It was too bad. He just wanted to boost morale. As a result... he became like this!

I lost five goals in the first half. Do I have to concede 10 goals in the whole game?

damn it!

You can go to death!

Fortunately, Big Sam's concerns were a bit redundant. When the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, Leeds United restrained themselves. After winning the opponent and giving Simon Grayson a breath, the "Youth Guards" had no need to waste their energy on Derby County.

Although the team's combat effectiveness was consciously suppressed, the initiative in the game did not fall into the hands of Derby County. The ball was firmly controlled by Leeds United and did not give the opponent any chance to attack. After 90 minutes of the whole game, Derby County only shot three times and once was directed. It can be seen how strong Leeds United's control over the game has reached.

After the six league rounds, the situation on the standings gradually became clear. The "Youth Guards" surpassed Tottenham Hotspur with 5 wins and 1 draw with 16 points, with a 20-goal conceded 1 goal and 19 goals. They rushed to the top of the standings.

The second place is Tottenham Hotspur led by the "Little Madman" Boas. In the summer, he threatened to resign and forced Chairman Daniel Levi to reject Real Madrid's £70 million offer and keep Gareth Bale. There is also a saying that after the end of this season, Bale will join Real Madrid with £86 million, or £100 million. Boas used his career as a bet to win his most important season at Tottenham Hotspur, and he did a good job, maintaining a record of complete victory in the previous five rounds of the league. However, this round was tied 2:2 by Wolves away, which gave the "Youth Guards" the opportunity to surpass.

The third-place "Red Army" Liverpool won 4 wins and 2 draws 14 points in 6 matches, and Rodgers's team also showed good combat effectiveness.

The fourth place is Manchester City. The Chilean engineer has coaching ability, but he still needs an adaptation process. The current 6 games, 4 wins and 2 losses, and 12 points, can just prove that the team is still in a running-in period.

Manchester United, who also changed coaches this season, had poor results. Mourinho's "Blue Army" is a mess. The aging of players and the disagreement of the new generation of youth will be the problem he needs to solve this season, so no one will be too strict with him. Even the Russian tycoons are waiting patiently.

But Moyes, who replaced "Sir" Ferguson this season, has begun to be criticized. The Scots transplanted his "** silk tactics" in Everton to the defending champion "Red Devils". How could a rough play that only pursues physical advantages adapt to Manchester United with extremely high tactical standards?

The result is... Manchester United suffered a large-scale injury!

Van Persie, who performed well last season, was injured, midfielder Carrick was injured, Ferdinand had another attack on his back, and even the "angel" Di Maria, who was loaned from Real Madrid this season, was injured after a game. This season, Serbian central defender Subotic, who spent £17 million to poach from Dortmund, entered the injured barracks without even a single game.

For a moment, what shrouded Moyes' head was no longer the halo of "Ferguson II", but a black cloud!
