Chapter 642
Leeds United's winning streak continues. In the sixth round of the league, Leeds United visited the Emirates Stadium. Everyone originally thought that Leeds United's winning streak would end in this round. After all, there will be the Champions League group stage next week.
Although Arsenal also has the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, it takes many years for Leeds United to return to the Champions League. Arsenal participates every year, so Arsenal can be said to be a complete victory in terms of their experience in dealing with one-week double games and the Champions League.
The subsequent games also proved this. Leeds United almost came off the bench, but at the same time, Arsenal also almost all came off the bench, but the final result was somewhat unexpected.
But when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the field was fixed at 1:2, with the home team ahead and the away team behind, and Leeds United won their sixth victory of the season.
The thickness and strength of the substitutes. In this game, almost all the substitutes on both sides were substitutes, but the final winner was Leeds United who played away.
What does this mean? It shows that the thickness of Arsenal's bench is not as good as that of Leeds United.
The potential is unlimited. After the game, almost all the media expressed their optimism for the young bench players of Leeds United, but soon, the media discovered a very cruel fact that the players in the main lineup of Leeds United are actually not very old. .
In particular, the striker of Leeds United is simply speechless. Suarez's performance can be described as quite outstanding, and after the game with Arsenal, Cavani has officially entered the world's field of vision.
In this game with Arsenal, the reason why Leeds United can win is entirely by virtue of Cavani's one-man power, the Uruguayan arranged for Leeds United's two goals in this game.
Goal against the giants is definitely the fastest way to prove his strength, not to mention that Cavani also scored twice, and the two goals fully demonstrated his ability.
The first goal was a shot after he dribbled the ball past Arsenal's defence, and the second was a strong header from the penalty area.
With this victory, Leeds United further expanded their advantage in the standings, because this game is a battle for the first and second places in the standings.
At the end of the six rounds of the game, Leeds United has 18 points with a total victory, followed by Chelsea and Liverpool, who have 14 points, and with Arsenal losing this game, they fell to fifth place, fourth is Aspen Don Villa, Manchester United are currently seventh.
However, the current league points mean nothing. Looking at last season, Arsenal was not overtaken by Manchester United, so there is no problem with Manchester United falling out of the top four at this moment.
Thirty-eight rounds of the league, almost a year, the team actually has enough time to make mistakes and make adjustments. Compared with the league, the Champions League is different. Although the Champions League is also implemented throughout the season, the Champions League adds up to that many games.
Take the Champions League group stage as an example, there are only six games played in half a season, but these six games are fully implemented for half a season, and the results of these six games directly affect the knockout stage of the second half of the season, so it is no wonder that Leeds United and Arsenal are both Send out the bench.
The season is very long and mistakes are allowed, but if you make mistakes in the Champions League, you are likely to be eliminated. In this case, the choice of both sides is understandable.
With a victory, Leeds United returned to Leeds to prepare for the second round of the Champions League group stage opponent PSV Eindhoven, this game Leeds United will sit at home.
PSV Eindhoven Li Yi has had experience in playing against each other, but it was a long time ago compared to now. PSV's head coach was Hiddink at that time, and Park Ji-sung, who is now playing for Manchester United, is also in PSV Eindhoven.
PSV Eindhoven is no longer the PSV they used to be, and Li Yi is no longer Cagliari. From Cagliari to Real Madrid, he will come to Leeds United after a rest for nearly two seasons. , a period of four years has passed.
Although there are many differences, one thing remains the same, that is, the final winner of this game is the team led by Li Yi.
In the case of the league's full bench, it has already shown that Leeds United is determined to win this Champions League group stage, and there is also a big gap in the strength of double-serving.
As for the so-called experience? After Leeds United's victory over Marseille in the last round, the players have initially adapted to the Champions League, so this game against PSV Eindhoven, Leeds United players showed their true strength.
Coupled with the home game, Leeds United launched a strong attack from the start of the game and scored a goal in just five minutes in the opening, directly beating the Eredivisie giants.
Gareth Bell opened the scoring for Leeds United. Bell staged a pass to himself three seconds later. He tore apart PSV's defense line by himself, and finally scored a powerful shot to break through the players guarded by Isaksson.
This goal was just the beginning. When the game came to the 21st minute, Leeds United expanded their lead, and Mata on the right rushed into the penalty area with the cooperation of Owen to complete the goal.
However, Eindhoven did not fail to recover. In the 36th minute, Eindhoven moved a goal back from Kuwelmans with a defensive counterattack.
It was the new generation of talented Dutch player Afele who provided the assist for Kuwelmans. Of course, Li Yi knew about this player. Afele's starting point can be said to be quite good, but unfortunately, he did not grasp it.
This goal was also Eindhoven's last goal in this game. Although Eindhoven was still patiently looking for opportunities, Leeds United did not give Eindhoven another chance, and even extended their lead in the second half. Advantage.
In the 69th minute, Owen scored another goal. After coming to Leeds United, the golden boy of England completely regained his former form. Even if he didn't make any appearances in the league, he showed his former style in the Champions League. .
This also made the media start to complain about Owen. Of course, the media actually did this more to cause trouble for Li Yi. Although there are some who sincerely help Owen, it is definitely not much.
Regarding this situation, before Li Yi said anything, Owen took the lead to stand up and express that he was satisfied with the current situation, and praised Suarez and Cavani, expressing his optimism for the future of the two.
Owen is actually very clear that if it weren't for the relationship he used to work with, even if he sent Li Yi to the door, he would not want it, because there are too many young talents in Leeds United's team, not to mention Suarez and Cavani, it is Newcastle. United's Lewandowski has performed quite well.
Although Newcastle United has been kneeling in a row recently and has lost four in a row, Lewandowski is one of the few bright spots in the four-game losing streak against Newcastle United. Wandowski stayed with the team.
