Chapter 120: Defeated God possesses body

Although the "Youth Guards" are only two points behind the "Gunners" Arsenal in one game less, Simon Grayson still has not set the team's goal on the championship. As long as the team can be guaranteed to participate in the Champions League next season, he will be content. After all, Leeds United and Manchester City, which ranks fifth, are only one more point.

And most importantly, Leeds United will face three strong opponents in the next eleven days and play four games, including the second league meeting with the "Red Army" Liverpool and the "Blue Army" Chelsea in the league, and the two-legged UEFA Cup quarterfinals with Serie A giants Inter Milan.

These four games are definitely related to the final results of Leeds United this season. After passing this hurdle, Leeds United only has Tottenham, a powerful opponent in the league. As for the UEFA Cup, it is all about wherever it can go. After all, an opponent like Inter Milan is already very difficult for Leeds United to defeat.

In England, Leeds United is indeed not afraid of anyone, but this is because they are familiar with these opponents. They have never eaten pork and have seen Pig Run, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool. Which teams have been studied thoroughly long ago?

But outside England... Leeds United is not familiar with whom. They played well in the UEFA Cup group stage and didn't struggle to play Leverkusen. This is because they put themselves in the initiative. However, against the King of Europe three years ago, even a declining King of Europe, Leeds United has no confidence. However, Simon Grayson was still brave enough to express his desire for victory when he was interviewed by a reporter from the Italian "Milan Sports" newspaper.

"I know Inter Milan is a great team, they have won many honors, but my team and I are also full of desire for victory, and I believe that the young Stramajoni lacks some experience, which will be our opportunity."

Stramachoni, the former Inter Milan youth training coach who replaced Agnelli at the end of last season, has worked very hard this season. However, due to the limitations of his experience and personal abilities, he still cannot lead Inter Milan to compete with Juventus and AC Milan in Italy. Of course, this is also related to Morati's reduction in investment. There are even rumors that Morati is about to sell Inter Milan, and this respectable old man is already planning to leave.

Simon Grayson truly expressed his thoughts, but what he received was ridicule from "Milan Sports". Although "Milan Sports" in Italy is just the mouthpiece of AC Milan, they are all kinds of blackmail to Inter Milan. However, when dealing with Italian unexpected teams, the gun was still the same.

"Leeds United, the Premier League, was lucky to enter the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, which made Simon Grayson become arrogant and arrogant. He said that his team will have the opportunity to defeat Inter Milan, which is a huge joke. Inter Milan's captain Javier Zanetti has not retired yet. Even if this team is led by a young head coach like Stramajoni, they are still fighting! Leeds United? Ha, ha, ha!"

After being ridiculed by the "Milan Sports" newspaper, Simon Grayson did not make any counterattack. No matter how much saliva is, he would not be able to win the team. He is now just taking the team to prepare for the match against the "Red Army" Liverpool.

Although Leeds United was tied 0-0 in home games with Liverpool. This time the bookmaker also looked down on the "Youth Guards", Leeds United's current situation is still very good. After running-in, Nelson Oliveira has completely integrated into the team, and the Portuguese also understands the overall tactics of the team. In fact, it is very simple to say. Everyone plays around "Shaq". Unless they have the chance to shoot, they will take the lead in thinking about passing the ball to "Shaq" after getting the ball, even if it is passed to other teammates. Also pay attention to the position of "Shaq" so that they can play various tactics practiced in training.

However, the Portuguese are not disgusted with the head coach's arrangement at all. The boss of the "Swordsman Group" is indeed not a big deal. Although he is not old, this person's ability is really jealous. He knows almost everything and is good at everything. He even has the same feeling as other teammates. "Shaq" should be able to play all positions on the court except the goalkeeper.

In addition to the team's undisputed core "Shake", Nelson is also very clear about the gap between himself and "Beast" Tevez. He was bought by Leeds United not for the goal, but for him to play the role of tactical center, so he must not fire randomly on the court. Leeds United's free right to fire even without captain Jonny Hausen, only "Beast" and "Shake".

The successful comeback of the "black big guy" Ameobi still made Nelson Olivei feel a front-line crisis, but Simon Grayson had a conversation with him and told Nelson clearly that his position will not change for the time being. After all, Ameobi is old, and the Portuguese is the future of the team, but this must first be based on his hard work.

After seeing the team's hope of winning the championship, Leeds United's morale has become increasingly high after seeing that the team's goal is to at least maintain the top four positions to participate in the next season's Champions League qualifiers. This young team is simply fearless. Most of them are very young and their careers are still in their early stages. This is also the period when a professional player works hardest and most fighting spirit.

Just when the Thorpe Arch training base was booming and the team's prospects were promising, for Leeds United, a major incident happened that half of the sky had collapsed...

During the training on April 5, the team's captain Jonny Hausen actually strained his left thigh muscle. This was his main leg. The strain made him unable to get up when running. If he exploded, he would feel the pain in his thigh.

At this time, there are only two days before Leeds United's away challenge to the "Reds" on April 7, and there are only one day left before Leeds United set off for Liverpool.

The captain's injury at this time is simply fatal for Leeds United. Even the team's most important "Leeds Three Musketeers" left offensive system fell apart. No one in Leeds can have a stronger breakthrough ability than Jonny Hausen.

After Simon Grayson knew that his captain would have to be on the verge of at least three weeks, he couldn't help but smile helplessly. It seemed that Leeds United's good luck was really that even God was jealous!

This season, Leeds United's main reason for making great strides is their sharp attack. They scored 99 goals in the first twenty-nine rounds of the English Premier League. After the last game against Manchester City, they broke the 97 goals record set by the "Red Devils" Manchester United in the 1999-2000 season. Now they are continuing to set their own records with their strong attack power. Scoring 100 goals is not a difficult task.

If the team's defense was not strong, Leeds United could really compete for the championship, but the injury of captain Jonny Hausen greatly damaged the team's attack power, causing the "Young Guards" to be damaged before they even confronted their opponents.

The most important thing is that among the three teams that have not allowed Leeds United to score goals this season, there are the "Red Army" Liverpool, while the other two teams are the "Gunners" Arsenal and the "Red Devils" Manchester United. The only ones who failed to get Leeds United to score goals in the league were Arsenal and Liverpool. Moreover, the "Red Army" still let Leeds eat zero eggs at the Elland Road Stadium, which is even more ruthless than the "Gunners".

Jonny Hausen was injured, and the captain's replacement Simon Grayson was not worried yet. Shaq was his second captain, Ben Parker was the third captain, and the three captains of the "Young Guards" were the "Three Musketeers of Leeds". They were originally the leaders who guided the team forward.

There is no need to worry on the spiritual level, but it is not possible on the technical level. Simon Grayson, who had no choice, is ready to use Snodgrass to replace his captain. After all, although the Scots' breakthrough ability is unfortunate, his skills are still quite comprehensive.

But that afternoon, when Shaq, Snowdgrass, Ben Parker practiced the routine, the Scots slowed down a little when he received Zach Thompson's diagonal pass from the side. He tried to hook the ball hard, but the ball still went out of the sideline, but he twisted his left ankle, and in a few minutes it swollen a bun.

"Shit! All fucking shit!"

Eric Black dared to swear, he heard Simon Grayson's swear words clearly.

Simon Grayson, who had a gloomy face, did not dare to train anymore, and directly arranged for Swedish young player Philip Pivkowski to hit the left, "Beast" Tevez to hit the right, and "Black Big" Ameobi to play the forward with Nelson Oliveira.

After making this arrangement, Simon Grayson held a tactical meeting for the team. The team's tactics really have to be adjusted now. The Swedish boy and Ben Parker have never cooperated. I have to say this?

There is no tacit understanding between Nelson Oliveira and Ameobi, so I have to say it?

It is a helpless move to let Tevez play on the right, which is equivalent to giving up 50% of the scoring ability of the "Beast". The team went to Anfield Stadium to challenge Liverpool, and it seems that it has to be arranged well, right?

A lot of troubles made Simon Grayson have an ominous premonition, as if a cloud was shrouding on the head of Leeds United......
