Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The two of them were very excited, and the two of them were very happy.

"Brother Guanhai, do you want to invest in Leeds United?"

On the way back to London, Li Shiguang's words kept repeating in Chen Guanhai's mind.

He never expected that the first time he met his idol, his idol would give him such a big pie. He was so excited that he didn't even ask for the details, and immediately expressed to Li Shiguang his willingness to invest.

Seeing Chen Guanhai's strong interest, Li Shiguang asked him to ask his family first, after all, the money had to be paid by Chen Guanhai's father. Chen Guanhai looked determined and told Li Shiguang confidently that his father would definitely agree, because his father had told him before that when he wanted to start a business, he would give him 500 million first...

After returning to Leeds, Li Shiguang once again devoted himself to the intense preparations. Next week, Leeds United will play 3 more games. This Saturday they will go to Middlesbrough away, and next Wednesday they will return to Elland Road to play the first round of the League Cup with Arsenal, and next Sunday they will face Everton at Elland Road again.

In the competition for the Champions League qualification next season, except for Chelsea, which is now the first, the competition for the other three places is still very fierce, especially in the fourth place, Arsenal and Liverpool are very close. The two teams are now only 1 point and 2 points behind Leeds United respectively. As long as Leeds United can't win a game, they are likely to be overtaken by them. Therefore, in the league, Li Shiguang is not taking it lightly at all.

In Saturday's game, Li Shiguang once again used the 4-5-1 formation. Rivaldo and Camoranesi, two new players, also made their debut in Leeds United. Because of Falcao's injury, the main striker today was replaced by Berbatov.

The two teams presented a wonderful goal battle to the fans in today's game. In the end, Middlesbrough lost 1-3 to the visiting Leeds United at home.

Rivaldo, who made two assists in the game, also slapped the faces of many people who had not been optimistic about him before. Today, the midfield combination of Rivaldo, Modric and Alonso was very powerful, and Li Shiguang also showed what passing and controlling football is for the first time in a simple and rough Premier League game.

Before Rivaldo was replaced by Li Shiguang, Leeds United's possession rate reached a terrifying 70%. The tacit cooperation of the three in the midfield and frontcourt made Middlesbrough's defense turn around, perfectly making the opponent feel what it means to grab or not grab.

Since the FA Cup has been eliminated, the League Cup, which originally had a low rank in Li Shiguang's mind, has become the only championship that Leeds United has a chance to fight for this season. So Li Shiguang is ready to go head-to-head with Wenger in this game. He thought it would be a fierce battle today, but before the game, seeing that Wenger's almost full substitute lineup today made Li Shiguang relieved, knowing that Wenger basically gave up the League Cup.

It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. Like Leeds United, Arsenal was eliminated in the FA Cup last round, but in the Champions League, they have reached the round of 16. In addition, the competition for the top four in the league is becoming more and more intense, so Wenger's choice is understandable.

However, after a game, Wenger's level of training young players once again amazed Li Shiguang. Arsenal's players, who had almost never started in the league, played with Leeds United for nearly 70 minutes and maintained a score of 0:0. Just when Li Shiguang was ready to change players to strengthen the offense, Modric broke the deadlock with a direct free kick, but in the end Leeds United only took a 1-goal lead at home, which made Li Shiguang very angry. After all, they will go to Highbury to play the second round with Arsenal in two weeks. If Wenger thinks about it and uses all the main players, it is still unknown who will win.

After a few days of rest, Leeds United faced Everton for the second game of the season on Sunday afternoon.

In the first half of the season, Leeds United suffered their first defeat after being promoted to the Premier League at Goodison Park, so this time at Elland Road, Li Shiguang didn't need to do much to mobilize the team, and the whole team was full of fighting spirit.

Since Rivaldo started in consecutive games, his physical reserves were not sufficient, so Li Shiguang returned to the regular 4-4-2 lineup in this game, with Vardy and Dzeko, the team's tallest player, on the forward line.

A fast combination, except for Ribery returning to the starting lineup, the other positions are no different from the last game.

Everton's form has not been very good recently. The team has lost two games in a row. The core of the organization, Arteta, suffered a minor injury in the last game. He can't play again in this round against the Leeds United, which is in the limelight. This is a headache for Everton's head coach David Moyes.

The Scotsman who will be appointed by Ferguson to take over in a few years was completely held down by Li Shiguang in this game and taught a good lesson.

Li Shiguang also saw how much Arteta's absence affected the current Everton. In the first half of 45 minutes, the only two attacks passed to Leeds United's penalty area were all launched from the wing. Everton did not try to launch an attack from the middle, but Arteta's absence greatly weakened their control in the midfield. In this case, Yaya Toure alone messed up their midfield.

In the 18th minute, Bale got the ball on the left and cut inside. He made a beautiful 2-on-1 cooperation with Toure on the penalty area line and broke into the Everton penalty area. Then he attracted most of the defense and made a reverse triangle pass at the bottom line. Dzeko, who followed up, kicked off the massacre with a powerful shot at the penalty spot.

3 minutes later, Everton launched a fast attack on the right side, but the right back Hibbert who was holding the ball was intercepted by Lahm who rushed up just after halftime. Then Lahm directly found Dzeko at the front of the penalty area with a big foot. Dzeko headed the ball back, and Toure, who followed up, kicked a beautiful world wave, which went straight to the dead corner of Everton's goal, 2:0!

Two goals in a short period of time seemed to have stunned Everton. In the wave after wave of Leeds United's offensive, they lost two more goals in the 33rd and 41st minutes and entered the halftime break with a 4-goal deficit.

15 minutes later, returning to the court, it seemed that Moyes' roar in the locker room during the halftime break did not wake up Everton's players.

Even though Li Shiguang substituted Modric and Alonso early, their offense still did not improve. Instead, Leeds United fought harder and harder in the second half. Vardy scored 3 goals in a row through sharp breakthroughs and got his first hat trick since his debut!

In the end, Leeds United won 6-0 against Everton at home, avenging the defeat in the first half of the season!
