I don't know if it is because of the contradiction between the fans and the club, or the players are really unwilling to fight. In short, neither the fans in the stands nor the players on the stadium are excited enough.
Hu Lai, who watched the game in the box, even thought it was fortunate that Leeds City won the third round of the FA Cup by the Premier League team Wiggiston. After all, losing to a Premier League team is always better in face than losing to a Premier League team.
Although Vijayston is not a particularly strong team in the Premier League, it only ranks in the middle. But the current Leeds City is not easy to deal with.
This team has played in the Premier League for eleven consecutive seasons, and the results are very stable every year-no worries about relegation, almost meaning to qualify for the European war.
Their club does not seem to have much ambition, as long as they can stay in the Premier League.
Some people may think this is too salty.
But Leeds, who has personally struggled in the Premier League for more than a season, knows very well how difficult it is to ensure that they stay in the Premier League every year.
Every season there are 20 participating teams in the Premier League. Except for those giants, other teams have to do their best to stay in the Premier League. There is no such thing as relegation by just playing.
Some teams were able to compete for European qualifications last season, and might fall into the relegation zone next season.
Not to mention the newly promoted Leeds.
Although they are all in English football, it stands to reason that their understanding of the Premier League is not bad. But in the Premier League, they can know how big the gap between England's top and secondary leagues is.
It is by no means as simple as what they usually see on television.
At the end of the first half, Hu Lai watched the score on the big screen: 0:2.
Leeds, who played at home, fell behind by two goals and the defeat was set.
Hulay thought in his heart that unless Tony Clark allowed a group of fans into the Leeds City locker room during the intermission, and then used the glory of the past to denounce the players, it would be difficult to come back.
But the question is, what past glory does Leeds have to talk about?
This is simply a piece of white paper that cannot be clean.
The promotion of the Premier League to the runner-up of the Premier League is already the highest moment in the history of this team.
There are no League Cup champions, no FA Cup champions, and no English top league champions.
Except for some regional championships, the history of Leeds City among all participating teams in the Premier League is probably the most lacking.
The team's performance and history do not even match the status of Leeds, the third largest city in Britain.
In the end, Leeds City still lost 0:2 at home to Wiggiston, failing to make further progress in the FA Cup.
Obviously Tony Clark didn't let the fans wake up the players during the intermission...
Of course, losing the FA Cup is not necessarily a bad thing.
From January to May, for five months, Leeds only needs to focus on the league, and the league is the only consideration for preparation plans and rhythm arrangements. The FA Cup and League Cup matches have nothing to do with Leeds.
After the game, the Leeds City fans exited in silence, and they were not even angry about the failure of the game.
For them, it seems that failure has become a matter of course.
On the way back to the hotel with Yong Jun, Hu Lai began to seriously consider for the first time whether he hadn't been hot in Leeds. The head coach Tony Clark who recognized him will leave first...
Then he really wants to regret choosing Leeds City... The reason why he is willing to come here is to understand himself from the coaches here?
But if you understand that your coach is out of class, what attraction and advantage does this team have for you?
Yong Jun keenly sensed that Hu Lai's silence since getting into the car was not quite right, so he asked: "What's wrong, Hu Lai, worried?"
Hu Lai glanced at the camera lens next to him, did not express his worry, but shook his head and said, "Of course not, Uncle Yong."
"Then why don't you speak?"
"I'm looking forward to a good show of being ordered in danger and then becoming famous."
After Yong Jun heard the full Hulai-style answer, he laughed: "You will see the positive side..."
"How else?"
"Well, that's right. But now I don't think there is so much time for you to take your time..."
He also advised Hu Lai not to be anxious, take his time, lay a solid foundation, and then start slowly.
It now appears that the situation is better than people, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
Tony Clark has strategically abandoned the FA Cup and concentrated on spending the rest of his time in the relegation battle.
If the situation cannot be reversed, the situation is more dangerous.
No matter how the club's top leaders are on Tony Clark's side, it is impossible to let the team be relegated for him.
After all, the executives do not care about the fans, because the financial impact of the fans' protests is relatively low. But if the team is really downgraded, the loss can be measured in tens of millions of pounds...
In the face of huge financial losses, neither mother nor father can handle it. Not to mention a team coach.
At that time, the operation of dismissing Tony Clark and bringing Lauren Gurry back was extremely normal. There are countless precedents for such a "sweet" in the football world.
※※※
Hu Lai and Yong Jun are worried that Tony Clark’s days in Leeds may have entered the countdown, but Tony Clark had a relaxed smile on his face when he resumed the game with the coaching staff after the game. Kind of a sense of panic.
"Hope Roger Biller really thinks that we have lost our combat effectiveness and were beaten up by them as bereaved dogs." Matt Dawn said excitedly.
"Biller is an experienced head coach, he might not think so..." Assistant coach Sam Randyll dare not be too relaxed.
"But the players at Vijayston would think so." Tony Clark smiled and waved. "Recently, there are a lot of reports about the troubles we have encountered, and they will be affected somewhat."
After the FA Cup match with Wiggerston, the next round of the league, Leeds City's opponent is still Wiggerston, but this time they are going away.
Wigerston is seventh in the league and Leeds is eighteenth. There is a huge gap between the two sides.
But in order to be relegated, even if there is a difference of eleven, Leeds can only rush to fight with the opponent, and strive to bite a piece of meat on the opponent.
Of course, there is a big gap between the strength of the two teams, and it is difficult to beat the opponent by brute force alone.
That's why Tony Clark and the coaching staff made such a match.
In order not to leak the news, they did not tell anyone that, in the current situation of the club, needless to say, the team has no intention of smashing the Premier League team in the FA Cup-to say that the opponent is the Premier League team or Leeds may not mind showing off the demeanor of a Premier League team, or because of the face, they may be embarrassed to lose to a lower-level league team and try their best to win the next game.
Now facing the Premier League team, what else is there to struggle?
Lose speed.
Tony Clark is just taking advantage of the situation. I hope the Wiggerston players really think that Leeds City has no fighting spirit, not to mention that the next round of the league will be the home court of Wiggerston. No matter how they think they will be on their own Reasons for losing to Leeds at home.
This is the seed he planted for the Wiggston players, and then waited for the next round of the league to germinate.
Although playing tricks... but in order to relegation, it's not shabby.
※※※
Nine days later, in the 22nd round of the league, the two teams that had just played in the FA Cup met again. Wigerston played against Leeds at home.
Unexpectedly, Vijayston, who was thought to have won at home without any suspense, lost to Leeds 1:2!
"Recently, Leeds, who was in trouble, beat Wigston away! They got a valuable three-pointer! Wigston’s players made a mistake. They probably thought this was an FA Cup game. Leeds, where all the main players played, became the unscrupulous backup lineup nine days ago..."
When the game ended, the commentator Matthew Cox criticized Vigerston mercilessly.
"In this game, Leeds performed better than Vigerston. They won the game fairly and reasonably. They are totally different from the team nine days ago! Tony Clark can take a breather. !"
The head coach of Leeds City appeared on the TV. He was in sportswear shaking hands with Roger Biller, head coach of Wigston.
"This coach has two brushes..." In front of the TV, Yong Jun, who was watching the game with Hu Lai, said with emotion. Before the game, he was not optimistic about Leeds City's ability to win away games. He felt that Leeds City's ability to finally take away a point from the away game was considered a good performance.
No one thought that Tony Clark suddenly changed his team and increased his offensive force when he was stuck with his opponent.
Vijayston was caught off guard this time. They really didn't expect Leeds City to speed up the pace and rush.
Directly disrupted the formation of Vijayston.
Captain Lorenzo's goal in the 79th minute was only the final result of this series of adjustments.
In fact, Hu Lai is not as surprised as Uncle Yong, because he trains with the team and knows what he does every day. The head coach attaches great importance to the team’s physical fitness. He also repeatedly emphasizes running during training, requiring everyone in the team to run more than before, even if he is an opportunist in the penalty zone, he must be bigger. Range of running.
It's like a machine, everyone must put in full horsepower, this machine can run at high speed.
So it seems that the Leeds City team attacked very fiercely and recovered quickly. This all depends on physical support. After Tony Clark took over the team, it took half a season to make those reforms, that is, to let the team say goodbye to the past training methods and experience and adapt to his new things.
There is a running-in period in the middle, and because of various on- and off-field reasons, this running-in period is very painful...
But if the running-in period can be passed smoothly, the future may be promising.
Of course, this is not only good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ no harm.
The disadvantage is that once the machine runs at high speed, it cannot be stopped easily. If there is a problem with one of the components, the whole machine may collapse.
Captain Lorenzo Esposito looks pretty good at the moment. He has scored six goals and is the best scorer in the team.
But he is thirty-three years old after all, and will be thirty-four years old in March.
The age is set here.
Clark's tactics require high physical fitness and running ability. I don't know how long the veteran Lorenzo can hold on.
That's why he bought Hu Lai.
In addition to his high efficiency, he naturally fell in love with his youth.
Football is for youth.
Young is the biggest advantage.
After all, youth is invincible.
