From coaching Real Madrid
1376 Kill the Red Devils First, Then Kill the Gunners!
Emirates Stadium, London.
In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Leeds United challenged Arsenal away from home.
When the game reached the 14th minute, Leeds United's right winger, youngster Foden, created a corner kick with Reece James on the right. Leeds United quickly took a penalty. Croatian central defender Gvadiol jumped high in the middle of the penalty area.
He got up, put his hands on the shoulders of Arsenal defender Gabriel, and headed the ball from close range.
The ball was headed into the goal guarded by Runarsson by Gwadiol, opening the scoring for Leeds United.
One to zero!
Arteta on the sidelines raised his hands above his head and scratched the back of his head, feeling extremely disappointed with the result.
But soon, he noticed the Arsenal players protesting and immediately rushed over.
Regardless of whether it's justified or not, it's absolutely right to protest first anyway.
The Gunners players protested against Gvadiol for committing a foul after he took off. Gabriel, in particular, thought this guy was too cunning and jumped up first, then pressed his shoulders with both hands.
"Do you think his ability to stay in the air is that strong?" Gabriel complained with tears of blood.
If you play it back in slow motion, you can see that after Gvadiol took off, his time in the air was indeed a bit long.
This was mainly because his hands were pressing on Gabriel's shoulders to gain strength.
But in this case, Arsenal's central defender will be miserable.
But the referee still ruled that the goal was valid.
This immediately made the Arsenal players feel extremely dissatisfied. Arteta also angrily scolded the referee on the sidelines, thinking that he was too biased in favor of Leeds United.
"This is a foul! Foul!" Arteta roared at the fourth official on the sidelines.
In fact, he didn't even know where the foul occurred.
Anyway, if a player calls a foul, then it must be a foul.
But as he walked back, Arteta kept cursing.
Damn it, these little monsters from Leeds United are going to heaven!
Tonight, Leeds United played with a substitute lineup just like in past cup matches.
But this group of young players from Leeds United performed very well.
Goalkeeper: Ramsdale;
Defense: Nuno Mendes, Gwadiol, Saliba and Reece James;
Midfield: Joan Armene deeps, Camavinga and Pedri in the centre;
Forwards: Vinicius, Alvarez and Foden.
In addition, Shanghai has younger substitute players such as Ansu Fati, Bellingham, Musiala and Kvaratzhelia on the bench.
Arteta almost feels like he wants to collapse now.
Because from the beginning of the game, Leeds United continued to attack Arsenal.
Unlike the Leeds United team that slaughtered Manchester United at Old Trafford three days ago, the current Leeds United team has replaced all 11 players in the starting lineup.
But what’s the result?
Even though the people have changed, the offensive is still as fierce and the pressing and pressing is still as fierce!
In this fast-paced and stormy game, Arsenal simply couldn't hold the ball.
If this continues, Arsenal may very well become the second Manchester United.
Arteta walked to the sidelines and kept telling the players to steady their rhythm.
Arsenal has already played with its full lineup tonight, because the team's current performance in the Premier League is very poor. As a result, if Arsenal wants to save face, they need to perform in the cup competition.
Arteta's transformation of Arsenal has never been smooth, but it has been making steady progress.
But now Arsenal needs to make some gains in the cup competition to regain the team's morale.
But Leeds United are so bullying!
Even the youth team is so difficult.
…
Arteta's depression did not last long, because he soon discovered that he was even more depressed.
Alvarez has a wide range of activities. When Foden walked towards the ribs this time, he quickly ran to the right sideline to receive the pass from his teammate and passed the ball back to Foden.
Reece James quickly moved forward along the right sideline. Foden tried to cut inside, but failed to achieve the effect. He passed the ball back to Pedri. After receiving the ball, Alvarez quickly made a diagonal pass.
Enter the restricted area.
Arsenal's left back Kolasinac was well prepared and kept close to Alvarez, using his body to push the young Argentinian to the outside of the right side of the penalty area, not wanting him to rush into the center of the penalty area.
Although Alvarez was good physically, he still couldn't beat Kolasinac with a real sword and was squeezed out of the middle. However, because of this, Kolasinac's position was inside the penalty area.
At this time, after Reece James stepped in, the entire right wing was empty.
When Pedri passed the ball over, Kolasinac didn't care about Alvarez and immediately rushed towards Reece James to intercept Leeds United's right back.
Alvarez was immediately in an offside position.
The Argentinian was smart and retreated immediately. At the same time, he glanced at the right and found that Reece James was rushing forward immediately after receiving Pedri's pass.
Alvarez was well aware of Reece James's speed, and he immediately prepared near the penalty spot.
When the Argentinian saw Reece James forcefully break through Kolasinac and cross the ball, he was like a strong cheetah and rushed to the front point immediately.
This sudden change caught Arsenal's defense a little off guard, especially at the back point, where Vinicius was also rushing.
Foden on the outside of the penalty area was also near the penalty spot, waiting for Reece James to pass back in an inverted triangle.
It can be said that at the same time, three attack points appeared in Arsenal's penalty area.
It’s really blooming everywhere!
The defensive players really collapsed, especially Alvarez at the forward point. They really didn't expect it.
It was offside a moment ago, and now it's forward again?
As a result, the ball really reached the front spot.
Alvarez headed the ball directly into Arsenal's goal from close range.
Two to zero!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!”
"Julian Alvarez!"
"The young player from Argentina scored another victory for Leeds United with a wonderful header."
"Two to zero!"
"The current trend of the game is very unfavorable to Arsenal. We see that Leeds United's offensive is very fierce."
…
After scoring two goals in a row, Leeds United completely let go.
Arsenal's situation this season is not ideal, especially in the recent period.
In the past seven rounds, Arsenal suffered a winless streak in seven games, and only drew one, while losing all the others.
This is also the reason why Arsenal's current league ranking is lower than Manchester United.
Arteta's coaching position is also in crisis.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Leeds United launched an attack from the left.
Vinicius cut inside with the ball, crossed into the left rib, passed the ball to Camavinga, and quickly crossed into the left side of the penalty area.
Camavinga, with Arsenal defenders closely marking him, passed the ball into the penalty area and handed it to Alvarez.
After the Argentinian picked up the ball with his back, he stopped the ball and moved it behind him, just in the path of Vinicius's sprint.
The Brazilian winger rushed over, stopped the ball, and pushed the ball directly into the far corner with his right foot, sending the ball into Arsenal's goal again.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
!
!
"
"Three to zero!
"
"Another goal from Leeds United!"
"Brazilian teenager Vinicius scored the third goal for Leeds United."
"Arsenal's situation is even more unfavorable now."
"Especially in the first half, conceding three goals in a row was very disappointing."
But what is even more despairing is that after conceding consecutive goals in the first half, Arteta failed to change the situation during the halftime break, and his adjustments failed to help Arsenal come back to life.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Joan Armene passed the ball to the left. Nuno Mendes quickly moved forward and sent a direct pass to the left side of the penalty area.
After Vinicius stopped the ball, he forced a breakthrough through Cedric and hit a shot with his right foot, giving Leeds United another victory, 4-0!
And in the 73rd minute, Foden also dribbled the ball in from the right, advanced all the way to the left side of the top area, and hit a curve ball with his left foot, which hit the left side of the goal, five to zero!
At this time, Leeds United had begun to make continuous substitutions and adjustments.
Players including Kvaratskhelia, Musiala and Bellingham were substituted one after another.
Although they are young players, the talents of Leeds United are completely different from the young players of other teams, especially their energy after taking the field. They play very confidently and very bravely.
This is also a consistent characteristic of Leeds United.
He is very tolerant towards young players, which leads to the young players playing very confidently on the field, daring to take the ball and making moves. Even if they make mistakes, the players and coaching staff are very tolerant.
Because, they all came this way.
In the end, Leeds United failed to score again and defeated Arsenal 5-0 away from home.
…
A 9-0 away win over Manchester United and a 5-0 away win over Arsenal.
Kill the red devil first, then the gunman!
Two consecutive big wins and two lineup configurations made everyone feel how powerful Leeds United is.
If the game against Manchester United showed how strong Leeds United is, then this game against Arsenal allowed everyone to witness Leeds United's talent pool and strong stamina.
Looking at European football, who can do what Leeds United did, using two lineups to massacre Manchester United and Arsenal respectively?
Even though these two traditional strong teams have been in poor form recently, they are still strong teams.
Leeds United are now cutting them into pieces like melons and vegetables. Not only did the media and fans enjoy watching, but they also marveled at the power of Leeds United.
As The Times said after the League Cup, "Today Leeds United is becoming the most dominant team in the Premier League. This team composed of young players will show strong competition in the next few years.
power and dominance.”
"Although, in the past few years, everyone has felt that Leeds United has always been selling people and is a star processing factory and a training workshop for wealthy teams, but now, Leeds United is one of the clubs with the highest revenue in the world."
"When this team begins to accumulate strength and begins to exert its strength, we may be witnessing the birth of a dynasty era belonging to Leeds United!"
