Chapter 645 Welcome back to Madrid
Eight straight victories, when the end whistle sounded, there was only one sound left at Elland Road, and that was the cheers of Leeds United fans after their victory over West Ham.
Still a 1:0, two weeks ago, Leeds United relied on a difficult 1:0 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane, and back at home, Leeds United still defeated another London team with a difficult 1:0. team.
Suarez appeared on the wing in this game. In fact, Cavani can also play on the wing. The positions of Cavani and Suarez are not fixed. Van Dijk and Kompany are partnered at the center back. Except for the goalkeeper, they are all substitutes.
Because of the long-distance travel, the Leeds United players were not in good shape after the start of the game. Instead, it was West Ham United who played away from home.
Li Yi naturally also found the state of his players, so this game Leeds United mainly focused on defensive counterattacks, and Leeds United's goal to seal the victory was scored with a quick counterattack.
Kante stole the ball. In this game, Kante was transferred to the first team again, and had a very good return. Although the tacit understanding with his teammates was not very good, Kante used his crazy running to act as a qualified stirrer. Shit stick, stirring up West Ham United to vomit blood.
Delphi sent an oblique pass, Lennon plugged in at a high speed and caught up with the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Lennon calmly pushed and finished the goal.
With the victory of Leeds United, England's Fleet Street was mourning. You must know that they were waiting to slap Li Yi in the face of the season, but now, it is they who have been slapped in the face.
Eight-game winning streak, this record is very close to the best start of the Premier League. No, there was no Premier League at that time. It was the 11-game winning streak created by Tottenham in the 60-61 season. According to the Premier League, Leeds United's eight-game winning streak Already the best start.
Although these eight-game winning streak opponents are not strong, Arsenal turned their attention to the Champions League, Tottenham's state is obviously problematic, and just after the game with Leeds United, Juan Delamos officially Was fired, Tottenham hired coach Harry Reitknapp.
This decision is also a signal of Tottenham's re-emergence, but it is hard to say whether Tottenham can re-emerge at present. After all, Bell, Lennon and Modric are all in Leeds United.
Li Yi doesn't care about Tottenham's problem, and he has no time to worry about it. Instead of wasting time on whether Tottenham can re-emerge, it is better to spend more time studying the third opponent of the mid-week Champions League.
Atlético de Madrid, as the former head coach of Real Madrid, Li Yi is obviously no stranger to Atlético de Madrid, not to mention that Li Yi also knows the situation of Atlético de Madrid in the next ten years.
Although the current Atletico Madrid is not the Atletico Madrid of Simeone,
But the strength of this Atletico Madrid is still not to be underestimated, and it can even be said to be the strongest opponent in Group D.
Look at Atletico Madrid's striker, Aguero, Forlan plus Simao, this is definitely a top striker, not even inferior to the average giant team.
In the midfield, there are Maniche, Asunsang, Camacho Garcia, Antonio Lopez, Perea, and Ujfalusi in the back line.
Perhaps these people's names are incomparable to those of the city's nemesis, but this is a group of players with quite good strength, which seems to be a consistent feature of Atletico Madrid.
The strongest point of Atletico Madrid lies in their striker line. Atletico Madrid's outstanding striker is not only spread in the future. There is such a saying now, just look at Atletico Madrid's striker line in the past.
Even in the Atletico Madrid team that has entered the Champions League final several times in the future, the most eye-catching is the striker, and although the midfield and the back can never be compared with the rivals in the same city, their strength will not be much worse.
Li Yi is studying Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre is also studying Leeds United, but the more he studies Leeds United, the more incredible Aguirre feels.
Because Leeds United's lineup is perfect, each position is guaranteed to have at least two players who can rotate. If you really want to find Leeds United's shortcomings, Aguirre can only find one shortcoming that is not a shortcoming.
That is, the current Leeds United team is a bit too young, but after watching all the recent Leeds United games, Aguirre is depressed. At this moment, how much he hopes that the first Champions League group match against Leeds United is Atletico Madrid .
If they meet Leeds United in the first game of the group stage, Aguirre feels that his team has a high chance of winning Leeds United, but now, he really finds it difficult.
Because Leeds United has progressed too fast, this is the advantage of young players. Although young players have many shortcomings, they also have many advantages. They have made great progress in just one month.
Not to mention that Li Yi is a head coach who is very good at using young players. Who does not know the road to Li Yi's rise, not to mention that Li Yi's rise has only been a few years.
Looking at these young players from Leeds United, Aguirre became more and more envious. Although Atletico Madrid also has talented young players, such as Aguero, Camacho, Raul Garcia, and Leeds Link up.
Well, let’s not compare. The more we compare, the more we will compete, let alone Atletico Madrid. With the current lineup of Leeds United, we can really compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Speaking of which, the youth training of Barcelona and Real Madrid is actually very good. The youth team is full of talents, but Barcelona will give young people a chance, while Real Madrid hopes to buy people and superstars that have already been kicked out.
Even if Calderon was in power in the past two years, it was not excluded. Although he bought a lot of young players, in fact, famous players also bought less.
However, Calderon’s life this season is not easy to manage. Because of Florentino’s sudden departure, Calderon took over in a hurry, which has also led to confusion in the management of Real Madrid, and even there have been scandals.
Moreover, Calderon is facing more than internal chaos. There is also Florentino pressing outside. After being overtaken by Barcelona last season, Florentino announced in a high-profile manner that he has returned to health.
Although Florentino did not say anything about returning to Real Madrid, the meaning of Florentino between the lines is already obvious. Coupled with the beauty left before leaving office, Real Madrid fans have begun to call for Florentino to return.
Under such internal and external troubles, Calderon's life was even more difficult, and under such circumstances, the arrival of Leeds United led by Li Yi to Madrid played a catalytic role.
Although Bruce is no longer the head coach of Real Madrid, the Real Madrid people will always remember the honor he brought to the team, so, Bruce, welcome you back to Madrid. When Li Yi was about to embark on a plane to Madrid, Flo Lentino stood up for an interview.
