1379 First Waterloo in 2021

December 26, Boxing Day, Leeds Amazon Stadium.

In the 15th round of the Premier League, Leeds United faced Burnley at home.

In order to better prepare for the Devil's schedule, Pochettino had to rotate the team.

Just one minute into the game, Vinicius dribbled the ball inward from the left and sent a diagonal pass. Haaland broke into the goal, kicking and shooting, and sent the ball into Burnley's goal, opening the first record for Leeds United.

One to zero!

In the 14th minute, a long pass from Ruben Dias from the backcourt was accurately sent to the left rib of the frontcourt.

Burnley central defender Tarkovsky tried to get ahead of the goal when he was heading with Haaland, but failed to get the ball. After Haaland got the ball, he drove straight into the left side of the penalty area and calmly scored a goal, 2-0!

In the 30th minute, Nuno Mendes passed to the back point from the left. After Foden stopped the ball with his chest, he shot with his left foot, leaving another goal for Leeds United, three to zero!

After the second half of the game, Vinicius broke through on the left rib and passed the ball diagonally to Haaland, who was undefended on the right side of the arc. The Norwegian young player stopped the ball with his left foot and then made a curve ball, slid straight into the far corner of the goal.

Four to zero!

Haaland scored a hat trick!

Then, Leeds United made a substitution, while maintaining the pressure on Burnley, but never scored again.

In the end, White Roses defeated Burnley four-zero at home with Haaland's hat trick and Foden's goal.

...

On December 29, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Leeds United challenged West Bromwich away.

Just 8 minutes into the game, the Bloomers made a fatal return pass error under the pressure of Leeds United's high-level pressing. Vardy took the lead and picked the goalkeeper to score the first record for Leeds United.

One to zero!

Afterwards, the two sides entered a stalemate for more than twenty minutes.

But starting from the 31st minute, Leeds United once again launched a fierce offensive.

First, Alfonso Davis shot with a shocking left foot to expand the score for Leeds United. Then Vardy assisted Rashford to win another goal. Then Sancho received Ashraf's wonderful pass on the right rib to further expand the score.

By the end of the first half, Leeds United had already led by four to zero.

Then in the second half, Leeds United made consecutive substitutions, but in the 72nd minute, Spider-Kid Alvarez won another goal for Leeds United, this time it was a wonderful pass from Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

Both Rodrigo and Kvaratskhelia performed very hard after coming on as a substitute, but they were unable to follow the goal and failed to further expand the score.

But Leeds United is still away, breaking West Bromwich by 5-0.

...

Nine to zero away defeat Manchester United, four to zero home defeat Burnley, five to zero away defeat West Bromwich.

In three consecutive rounds of games, Leeds United played crazy offenses and conceded zero goals on the defensive end.

This also makes the outside world feel incredible about Leeds United's crazy state.

White Rose won consecutive victories, and can be said to be the most eye-catching team in the Premier League.

Not only that, Leeds United players are basically listed in the annual selection of major European media.

For example, the top 100 football stars in 2020 released by Marca, among which Real Madrid's Mbappe ranks first, which is not controversial.

The second place is the teenager of Leeds United in the Premier League this season, and Lewandowski, who plays for Bayern, is ranked third.

Paris Saint-Germain Brazilian superstar Neymar ranked fourth.

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo ranked fifth, while Barcelona superstar Messi fell to tenth place because of the team's overall performance. Many people even think that Messi has basically begun to go downhill in his career.

Among these 100 players, Leeds United has entered 14 players, making it the club with the largest number of nominees among all European teams, which has made everyone recognize Leeds United's influence again.

But just as the team was making a big splash, Leeds United suffered a blow at the White Hart Lane Stadium in North London.

Entering the first game of 2021, Leeds United will visit White Hart Lane Stadium and challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

Leeds United once again carried out a large rotation and fought continuously, which made White Rose's players very tired.

Mourinho's team has made careful preparations and is waiting for work, while facing Leeds United with a steady counterattack tactic.

The two sides fought hard for eighty minutes.

Leeds United had the advantage, but they could not break through the defense line composed of Thiago Silva and Aldevelde. Haaland also failed to score in the whole game under the guidance of Thiago Silva.

White Rose scored 68% possession rate, but still couldn't score.

On the contrary, in the 81st minute, when Ramsdale received a return pass from his teammate, under the pressure of Abraham, he made a mistake in passing the ball. After being intercepted by Hoyber, he moved to the right and handed it to Lucas Mora.

Nuno Mendes made a mistake in his defense and was easily thrown away by Lucas Mora. The Brazilian broke into the penalty area. Gvadior made a foul while robbing. The referee made a penalty through VAR and gave Tottenham a penalty.

Bruno Fernandez personally took the action and calmly took the penalty and hit it.

This is also the only goal in the whole game.

Leeds United suffered a Waterloo at White Hart Lane Stadium.

...

"I have to say, Gao, your team is really too strong!"

In the stands at the White Hart Lane Stadium, who flew over from the Middle East to watch Tottenham Hotspur matches, Qatar Consortium helmsman Sheikh Jassim exclaimed a sigh of grace at Gao Shen sitting beside him.

Although they are all Qatar consortiums and have close ties behind them, Tottenham Hotspur’s current helm is Sheikh Jassim, which is not the same as Paris Saint-Germain.

Of course, there is nothing to say about this kind of thing, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on.

Sheikh Jassim claimed to the public that he was a Tottenham Hotspur fan while studying in the UK and had a special liking for the North London team.

This is also an official statement.

If it were to acquire Manchester United, he would probably say that he was a Manchester United fan.

"But I still lost to you." Gao Shen smiled helplessly.

In fact, Leeds United performs better, but sometimes that's how it is.

The best-performing team does not mean that they will definitely win.

What's more, Tottenham did a very good job in defense tonight, and Thiago Silva successfully frozen Haaland.

"But you are still the leader," Jassim said enviously.

Gaoshen smiled.

Losing this game may not be a bad thing for Leeds United.

This season, the team's morale is very strong, but it is not a good thing to be too smooth. Instead, now it is hit by Tottenham and completely wakes up. The players will learn some lessons.

For example, Haaland.

This game was taught by Thiago Silva.

In terms of personal growth, this is really not a bad thing, because Thiago Silva is the number one central defender in the world today, and it is not a shame to be frozen by him.

Instead, this could allow Haaland to learn some lessons.

In the past period of time, he has relied more on his body, skills and speed to rage European football. Although this is very outstanding, he is somewhat arrogant.

With Haaland's character, after being taught by Thiago Silva, he will only further stimulate him, make him more self-disciplined, be able to calm down, and carefully polish his own ball skills.

"Speaking of this, I really should thank you, Gao." Sheikh Jassim smiled at Gao Shen.

"At the beginning, our acquisition of Manchester United failed, and the advice you gave us was very good. To be honest, we are very satisfied with everything so far."

That year, after the Qatar consortium failed to acquire Manchester United, Senior High School proposed to shift its target, and the one who locked in Tottenham Hotspur.

The reason is very simple. Tottenham's acquisition price is about 1 billion pounds. This is mainly because Tottenham's new stadium has not officially started, and the team's overall performance is not as good as before, so the offer given by Levi is much cheaper than that of Gaoshen's previous life.

Gaoshen made some calculations for Sheikh Jassim at that time. If he bought Manchester United for 6 billion, it would be better to buy Tottenham Hotspur and spend 1 billion to build a new stadium. The remaining 4 billion can be bought and bought all over the world.

I invest 300 million to 500 million every summer. Are you still afraid that the team will not win the championship?

If you have accumulated ten or eight years, are you still afraid that you can't beat Manchester United?

At that time, Gao Shen assured Sheikh Jassim with confidence that he could build a competitive team for the Qatar consortium.

What about now?

Looking back, Gaoshen actually spent more than 200 million yuan, but Tottenham Hotspur's results have been completely transformed.

Next, the team will target the signing of players, or even introduce some superstars. At that time, are you still afraid that Tottenham will not be able to achieve results?

Although Tottenham does not have the global brand effect of Manchester United, it has accumulated over the years in the Premier League and has also worked hard to develop the global market in the past few years, and its popularity and brand influence still exist.

In this case, the competitive business is fully entrusted to Gaoshen, and the people of the Qatar consortium only need to do their best to run the club and promote global marketing.

After all, this calculation is more cost-effective than buying Manchester United in huge amounts of money.

If it is really as the Qatar consortium had imagined, it would be possible to acquire all the shares of Manchester United, and to build a new training base, or even renovate the Old Trafford Stadium or build a new stadium, it would be possible to do so without 700 to 80 billion?

Sheikh Jassim calculated this way, I really thank Gao Shen for his special thanks to Gao Shen.

Especially when he saw Lord Ratcliffe deeply trapped in the quagmire of Manchester United and unable to extricate himself, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly grateful.

It was because he heard Gao Shen's words that allowed him to avoid the big pit of Manchester United.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, construction has begun for the new stadium. After the progress is almost done, the team will temporarily move to Wembley Stadium to play.

When the new stadium is completed, Tottenham will also have the foundation of a giant.

By that time, with the strength of the Qatar consortium and the foundation of Tottenham, they will definitely be qualified to compete with Premier League teams such as Leeds United and Manchester City, and even play in the Champions League.
