Simon Grayson's consecutive signings caused a sensation in the English Champions League. After three consecutive players of Super League level were bought, the team's overall strength was still second, and the morale improvement effect was obvious.

Now every player of the "Youth Guards" and every Leeds United fan have clearly received a signal that Leeds United no longer aims to compete in the English Champions League, and the team's eyes and plans are already on the English Premier League next season.

The Leeds branch of BBC TV also conducted an exclusive interview for the current "Youth Guards". They have a very high evaluation of Leeds United: "After the young guards, Simon Grayson, the coach of the Youth Guards, has begun to plan to show his strength in the next season's English Premier League. Leeds United chairman Ken Bates also changed his previous stingy style and bought three players in a row during the winter transfer, Red of 1.6 million, Whitehead of 2.8 million, and Ameobi of 5.5 million. These three players cost Leeds United about 10 million pounds!"

"But, according to the news we have received, Ken Bates, the chairman who has been criticized by fans for being stingy, has really made a big move this time. The transfer funds he injected into the team are not just the 10 million pounds, but it is said to be 20 million pounds!"

"If Leeds United can really put £20 million into the transfer market, we have reason to believe that the champion of the England Champions League this season will definitely belong to Leeds United, and when they compete in the Super League next season, they will have a great chance of relegation success!"

Of course, Simon Grayson's method of managing the team is not just to sign out from outside, but also drastically streamlining the lineup of the first team. At present, the number of players in the first team of Leeds United has been reduced to 18, and it is a result of adding three new players.

Simon Grayson directly transferred all the players who were weak and not very needed by the team to the reserve team. In fact, it was basically equivalent to verdicting them to the death penalty. Just wait for the team to be interested in them and sell them out!

In Simon Grayson's plan, when the team competes in the English Premier League next season, except for the first team's 18 players, only South African center David Soma, who missed half a season due to injury, could stay. Although the first team is really less in number, he would rather complete the team's reconstruction through signings.

The morale Leeds United continued to make great strides in the league, with strong strength and strong fighting spirit, and persistence in rebuilding the team's brilliant career. In addition, the two veterans Ameobi and Whitehead were determined to prove that they were fighting fiercely in the new team. Although the young Red was a bit rough, he was also a powerful central defender. Everything made the once glorious team of the "Youth Guards" unstoppable in the English Champions League.

As time entered mid-March, although Leeds United drew Milvoy 0:0 and Birmingham 1:1, they still ranked first with 36 games, 26 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses and 82 points, leading by 2 points to second place West Ham United and 12 points ahead of third place Petersburg. It can be said that with the twelve rounds left in the league, the "Youth Guards" return to the English Premier League next season is almost a foregone conclusion.

However, what excited Leeds United fans the most was the team's performance in the FA Cup. Although they gave up early in the League Cup because the team wanted to compete in the league, this time in the FA Cup, Leeds United did not miss this opportunity to be able to fight with super teams to accumulate experience.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Leeds United easily defeated Cardiff, the same team in the Champions League, away with a score of 2:1, and then defeated Swansea, who was fully relegated in the English Premier League in the fourth round.

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Leeds United, who was so angry that he fought to death at home, fought 3-2 as the "Blue Moon" Manchester City, who was competing for the Super League championship with the "Red Devils" Manchester United. However, in that game, Manchester City's coach Mancini did not let his team make efforts. Not only did he use substitutes and young players, but he also performed very absent-mindedly. After obtaining huge amounts of money to buy many stars, Manchester City fans are already extremely eager for the league championship, and no longer see anything else.

Simon Grayson is very clear that there is still a big gap between his team and the super team, but Leeds United fans don't think so. They even feel that their team already has the strength of a super team. The fans even encourage the "Youth Guards" to continue to play the role of the Dark Horse in the FA Cup this season. It would be best if the black guy can win the championship!

Unfortunately, after the draw ceremony of the sixth round of the FA Cup, Leeds United fans suddenly felt a chill. The opponent they encountered this time was led by "Professor" Wenger... "Arsenal" Arsenal!

Because the team's overall strength has declined, Arsenal, which has already withdrawn from the English Premier League championship competition early on, tried his best to keep himself in the top four to qualify for the Champions League next season, just watched Manchester's two heroes compete for the top and then won an honor in the FA Cup. So they attach great importance to this game that won the home court against Leeds United.

"Professor" Wenger even played psychological warfare with Simon Grayson before the game and expressed his greetings to his opponents through the media: "In my opinion, Simon is a very outstanding young coach. The Leeds United led by him played beautiful offensive football. Their tactical style is very similar to my team, so this game will also be a fierce collision between Mars and Earth! And, please don't forget that the FA Cup game has always been a hotbed for the generation of 'dark horses'. Leeds United this season has a very dark trend. Although they are teams in the second division of England, they also have a great chance to defeat us!"

The psychological battle between Wenger and Ferguson was once an attractive sight in the English Premier League, but this time Wenger chose the wrong person.

Although Simon Grayson is twenty years younger than Wenger, his always rigorous coaching style makes him not easily fooled. He said in an interview with Michael White, a reporter from Kicking Magazine: "Arsena Wenger is an admirable coach. I believe that both myself and my team can learn a lot in the game against Arsenal."

Simon Grayson put his position very straight, and he also put the "Youth Guards" at the disadvantage of the "arsenal", but in fact he did not give up when training for his team.

After continuous adjustments and adjustments, the "Young Guards" tactics have been completely formed, and the team was made into a four-three-three formation that focuses on offense by Simon Grayson.

On the forward line are Ameobi, Becchio, Snold Grass. Ameobi has strong technical and personal abilities, while Becchio is good at seizing opportunities and grabbing points, especially his header attack is quite threatening. Snold Grass has a strong dribbling and supporting ability. He can serve as an offensive support point on the wing and can also horizontally impact the opponent's penalty area. The threat of this forward combination is still quite great.

In the midfield, it is led by Wang Tiezhu, who has a great range of activities and strong ability to compete. Captain Jonny Hausen is on the right and veteran Dean Whitehead is on the left. Although the "back midfielder front" tactic can achieve miraculous effects, it is not the magic weapon for the team to win. Instead, it makes full use of Wang Tiezhu's defensive ability and rely on his large range of activities, strong impact and excellent long-range shooting. Coupled with Jonny Hausen's excellent organizational ability and strong impact, veteran Whitehead's strong defense and strong penetration pass, a midfield combination with slightly poor organizational ability but excellent offense and defense abilities are combined.

Relatively speaking, Leeds United's back line is still slightly weaker. Although there are players like Ben Parker and excellent young defenders like Red, Conori's assist ability is not weak, relatively speaking, this back line is still the weakest link of Leeds United. The defensive ability of the "Young Guards" has never been very reassuring, even if there is a moving castle "Shake" in front of the back line that blocks the enemy's attack.

Goalkeeper Andy Ronegan performed well this season, conceding only 23 goals in 34 games, and he became a member of Simon Grayson's plan for next season with his performance. After all, it is difficult to find a reliable goalkeeper these days. The Leeds United coach did not plan to find a replacement for Ronegan immediately. Instead, he hoped that he could live up to expectations and always provoke the task of guarding the team's goal.

With Leeds United's strong strength, they are naturally invincible in the English Champions League, but if they encounter a strong enemy like the "Gunner", it would undoubtedly be a dream if they still want to win easily.

When preparing for Arsenal, Simon Grayson's main instructions were not to defend against the "Gullers"'s mercury-drained offensive. What he focused on strengthening the team's offense, such as how to cooperate in corner kicks and set-up balls, how to grasp the timing of Wang Tiezhu's long shot, how others should feed him the ball and set up a turret when he rushed forward, how should the striker open the gap for him, etc.

Wang Tiezhu's performance this season is really amazing. Since he has increased his long-range shooting attribute to 20 full value, his long-range heavy artillery has become a powerful weapon for Leeds United to attack and draw the village. Many times his long-range shooting can easily open the door to victory for the team. In addition, his excellent defensive ability is there. Even if he is weaker in passing and organizing offense, head coach Simon Grayson has always built the team with him as the core. This approach even captain Jonny Hausen has no objection, because in everyone's eyes, "Shake" is the most trustworthy one. "Youth Guards" can sweep all opponents in the English Champions League, and "Shake" has made an indelible contribution!
