The situation is not going to be peaceful in Leeds today!

When Li Shiguang trained with his players in the morning, the training ground was already surrounded by media and fans.

Some extreme fans even wandered outside the training ground holding signs that read "Li Shiguang, get out of Leeds".

Li Shiguang also understood the fans' reaction. After all, he had no experience in leading a team before. Before tonight's game started, it was normal for fans to distrust him.

As for the group of media, Li Shiguang did not rush out and get angry at them, which was considered to be emotionally stable.

It is said that women are the most fickle people in the world.

However, the overwhelming news about Leeds in the past few days made Li Shiguang deny this sentence from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, it was not women, but the media!

Just after Li Shiguang announced at the press conference that he would concurrently serve as the head coach of Leeds United.

The media that had been praising Leeds United and Li Shiguang a few days ago immediately changed their direction and began to belittle Li Shiguang and Leeds United in various ways, and some of the headlines were so outrageous that Li Shiguang wanted to send a lawyer's letter.

Under the guidance of these media, some neutral fans who wanted to wait until the end of Sunday's game changed their minds and ran to the official website of Leeds United to leave messages criticizing him for being an amateur commanding professionals.

Fortunately, Li Shiguang has been busy with club affairs and training these days, and has no time to pay attention to these messy news. Only occasionally, his assistant Allen would whisper a few words in his ear, and Li Shiguang would just smile indifferently when he heard it.

At 11:30, the morning training ended on time.

The players also returned to the locker room one after another.

After a while, Li Shiguang walked in with his blue board.

Seeing him come in, the locker room, which was a little noisy just now, instantly became quiet. The players all knew that Li Shiguang was going to announce today's starting lineup.

When Li Shiguang came in, he pulled the whiteboard in the corner to the middle of the locker room, drew 11 circles on it, and then looked at the boys in front of him.

He smiled and said, "This is our formation tonight, 4-2-3-1. We have also practiced for a few days. Guys, I will test your results tonight!"

Before Li Shiguang came in, Sneijder and Viduka were guessing what tactics the coach would arrange tonight.

Because under Li Shiguang's arrangement in the past few days, they did try several formations.

In Viduka's opinion, Li Shiguang is more likely to use the previous formation. After all, this lineup was used in the first half of the season, and the final effect was also very good.

But Sneijder didn't think so. He felt that Li Shiguang was not a conservative coach, and in their technical and tactical training classes in the past few days, Li Shiguang didn't arrange them to practice defensive counterattacks at all, but kept emphasizing that they should run.

Of course, there is another main reason, he wants to play!

Yesterday, Li Shiguang told him clearly that under the 4-2-3-1 system, he would become the core of this Leeds United team, the rhythm of the whole team would be controlled by him, and the attack would also be launched from his feet.

So when he saw Li Shiguang draw the 4-2-3-1 formation on the whiteboard, Sneijder's hanging heart finally let go.

Then Li Shiguang announced the starting list that had been decided yesterday, waved his hand to indicate that everyone could disband, and left the locker room.

At 7 o'clock, Bates, who had finished dinner, was sitting on his sofa, feeling the wonderful taste of cigar in his mouth.

Opposite him, the TV was playing the scene of Elland Road Stadium.

The match between Leeds United and Wolves will start in half an hour.

Now Li Shiguang in the picture is directing the players to warm up before the game.

Bates was in a very bad mood today. Since the morning, the official website of West Bromwich Albion was bombarded by angry fans. The entrance of the club was also surrounded by fans who wanted him to resign. When he got off work in the afternoon, Bates didn't even dare to go out the main entrance.

So he couldn't wait to sit in front of the TV after dinner. He wanted to see Li Shiguang's embarrassment today.

In his mind, Leeds United could not win today.

Because Li Shiguang himself was the head coach, and today's starting lineup actually had a large part of the players who had not even played in the first half of the season.

In this way, how can you win!

Thinking that Li Shiguang might suffer more insults than himself tomorrow, the depressed mood just now also had a little bit of

.

·······

At the same time, in the locker room.

Li Shiguang was giving his last speech before the game.

He was very angry now.

Because at the pre-match press conference, all the media did not think that Leeds United could win today.

There was even a reporter who asked him directly, how many losses today would be considered a success?

Li Shiguang was so angry that he asked Allen to remember this reporter and not allow him to attend Leeds United's press conference in the future.

When he was warming up with the players just now, there were some extreme fans in the stands who insulted him unscrupulously.

Even the Leeds United diehard fans in the south stand looked at him with distrust in their eyes.

So he was holding back a breath of anger now, and he had to vent it out, and the best way to vent it out was to see his players defeat today's opponents on the field. If they scored a few more goals, it would be even better.

Li Shiguang clapped his hands, then pressed his hands down, signaling the players to be quiet.

Seeing that everyone was sitting and looking at him.

Li Shiguang took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Guys, since the day I took over as the head coach, no one has ever been optimistic about me, nor about us. Just like when the season started, no one believed that Leeds United could win the half-time championship. But everyone knows very well what kind of arduous training we have experienced this week, and through these trainings, we have mastered many advantages that our opponents do not have. With our unique tactics and our own strong strength, we can completely defeat any opponent!"

He paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the locker room, and after feeling everyone's emotions gradually rising, Li Shiguang took a deep breath, then suddenly raised the volume of his voice, and shouted with a passionate and powerful voice:

"Therefore, in the next crucial 90 In the 10 minutes of the game, I hope and ask you to go all out to accomplish one thing - to completely defeat our opponents today! To prove to those unscrupulous media who have been sneering at us and badmouthing us, and to let the fans in the stands and in front of the TV who are not optimistic about us clearly see how strong our team really is! "

"Go, take what I taught you, and start from today, and break through the English Championship!"

After saying that, Li Shiguang did not stop and turned around and left the locker room.
