Chapter 160 The "Red Devil" is anxious

After Leeds United led two goals, "Blue Moon" finally became anxious. They could still calmly take it when they were one goal behind. After all, one goal... It is really not difficult for Manchester City. Even if they score two goals in a row at their home court, it is normal. But in the second half of the game, not only did they fail to tie the score, but they scored another goal by their opponents, which makes people unable to calm down.

If this continues... it is the rhythm of losing!

But Manchester City is anxious, but Leeds United is not in a hurry at all. They are even trying to slow down the pace of the game. As long as they get the ball, they must pass the harsh booing in the Etihad stadium. Until the ball is too uncontrollable under Manchester City's press, they will pass the ball to the front. Otherwise, the "Young Guards" will not rush to attack even if they are killed.

As the whistle at the end of the game got closer, Pellegrini also played the last two cards in his hand. Lescott No. 8 replaced Dzeko No. 9, Aguero came to the front, and Brazilian young player Douglas Costa No. 20 also replaced Danny.

At this time, the Chilean engineers began to miss David Silva at his peak. This small Spanish man was injured after playing two games under him. Now he has returned from injury but can only sit on the bench temporarily. In such a fierce game today, Manchester City faces an unfavorable situation at this time, and it is no longer suitable for David Silva's comeback battle. If it is a full-form David Silva, Pellegrini believes that he will definitely give him what he wants. Espanyol's ability to connect, breakthrough, and even good scoring ability are all what Manchester City needs at present.

There are many players on the football field who are born for big scenes, such as Zidane, Iniesta, etc. David Silva is also a key gentleman. In the past, he has provided the motivation to continue moving forward when he encountered difficulties in the "Blue Moon".

But now... David Silva is not good yet. His condition has not recovered yet. After his injury, Pellegrini cannot take risks with him!

The game gradually came to an end. After 70 minutes of the game, the "Blue Moon" mentality became more anxious and the passion gradually left them. Although the game scene was still Manchester City pressing Leeds United to play, it became dull. Manchester City's ability to create opportunities is rapidly declining...

Simon Grayson also used the last two substitutions here, of course, not to reverse the situation, but just to delay time.

"Bei—bei—bei—bei———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Three long whistles finally sounded, the game was over, and Manchester City, who played at home, finally lost to Leeds United with a score of 0:2 at home.

Although "Beast" Tevez failed to score today, his performance on the court was very active, which made the Manchester City back line very uneasy. Naturally, his performance was still much worse than Shaq, who won the best in the game.

After hugging his partners one by one, Simon Grayson shook hands with a smile on his face. His head held high and his chest could show his mood at this moment... It was quite good!

After winning the away game against "Blue Moon", Simon Grayson was in a good mood. The team will continue to lead the standings with an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 games. The most important thing is that the schedule of Leeds United will become much easier in the next game, and it will only encounter the opponent Tottenham Hotspur in a month, and the strength of this opponent... Haha, they are far worse than Manchester City.

The outstanding performance of the "Youth Guards" made them the most optimistic favorites for all bookmakers after this game, because Tottenham Hotspur tied with Norwich City 2:2 away, and Leeds United led the standings with a 2-point advantage. The most important thing is naturally the advantage of Leeds United in the next period of time. The most difficult schedule of the "Youth Guards"... has passed.

Simon Grayson and his team did perform very stably. In the next fourth round of the League Cup, Leeds United defeated Newcastle with Shaq and a lot of substitutes on the road with a score of 2:0.

Then in the Premier League, Leeds United easily defeated Wolves with a score of 4:1 away, achieving the ninth victory of the season, continuing to lead the standings with an unbeaten record of 9 wins and 1 draw with 28 points. Boas and his Tottenham Hotspur also worked very hard, defeating Newcastle 2:0 at home, and continued to chase the "Youth Guards" by two points.

After defeating Wolves, the "Youth Guards" ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League Group G. This time they are going to go away to challenge Barcelona at the Camp Nou Stadium.

In the last round, Leeds United defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home, which shocked European football. This time, Leeds United had not yet ended the day after the game, and the media couldn't wait to start hyping Barcelona's revenge battle.

Who is Barcelona?

That is the top giant in European football. Since Guardiola's coaching season 2008-2009, this team has reached an unprecedented height. Although their game style has received a lot of criticism, the nickname of "Cosmic Team" is enough to prove how strong this team is. Although the team's strength has declined a lot in recent years because of Bilanova and "Tata"'s continuous replacement, this team is still one of the best teams on this planet.

Therefore, even if Leeds United beat Barcelona 3-0 at home, they were completely disgraced in the second confrontation between the two sides. No one thought that Leeds United could still escape at the Camp Nou Stadium, because that was something that Real Madrid could do. Leeds United... Haha, they are far from it!

In fact, Simon Grayson is no longer so nervous about the away match with Barcelona in the fourth round, because Leeds United can afford to lose and won all the first three games, which gives Leeds United now 9 points, which is 5 points more than Schalke 04, which ranks third. As long as you win another game in the next three games, you can ensure that the group qualifies. If you lose to Barcelona away, both teams will also have 9 points. Even if Schalke 04 wins Bucharest, it will only have 7 points quickly, and the initiative is still in his own hands.

Relatively speaking, Simon Grayson now attaches more importance to the team's self-adjustment. The season has been almost one-third. Leeds United is in good condition at present. There are no wounded soldiers in the team, but the main players still need to get rest time. After playing away games with Barcelona, ​​Leeds United's large-scale rotation will begin. Before that, he, as the head coach, naturally needs to make good arrangements.

On November 4th, Simon Grayson was busy until he was very late before returning home. He would lead the team to Barcelona tomorrow. He and the coaching staff still had a lot of work to finish.

As soon as he returned home, Simon Grayson's wife told him that someone had called him and said that there was an urgent matter to him, which was an important matter related to his future, but she did not leave her name, but just left a phone number.

Simon Grayson looked at the number suspiciously, and he was very unfamiliar with it. He had definitely never contacted him before. After looking at it, it was 9:00 pm. After thinking about it, he called the phone.

The phone was answered immediately, as if the other party had been waiting for the phone, a thick man's voice rang: "Hello, is it... Mr. Simon Grayson?"

"Yes! I'm Simon Grayson, who are you?"

"I am David Jill! David Jill of Manchester United!"

David...Gil?

David Jill!?

Simon Grayson was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes in shock. David Jill of Manchester United, my god, isn't this Manchester United's ex-CEO?

This summer, after the retirement of "Old Sir Ferguson", Manchester United's CEO David Jill officially stepped down, which also represents the complete end of the "Ferguson era". The newly appointed CEO is former vice chairman Ed Woodward. With Moyes' acquisition, Manchester United has entered a new era. However, it is obvious that the new "Red Devils" are no longer as brave as they used to be and are now only ranked eighth in the league standings.

At this time, David Jill looked for him, what would happen?

Simon Grayson sorted out his thoughts and asked tentatively: "Mr. Jill, are you looking for me...what is there?"

"Yes, I really have some things to talk to you about when I ask you, I don't know... Well, I've just agreed, I want to know, are you interested in coaching Manchester United?"

ah!?

Simon Grayson was shocked!

Coaching Manchester United!?

The number one Premier League giant created by coaching "Old Sir" Ferguson!?

David Jill's voice came over again: "Simon, I think you may not believe this, but I can assure you that what I said is absolutely true. You know, Manchester United has performed very badly this season. The board of directors has determined that Moyes is not the most suitable candidate for Manchester United, and your work ability has been highly praised, so...hehe, I, a retired person, have been sent out to contact you."

Simon Grayson felt a mess. He never dreamed that he would be attracted by the "Red Devils". His work at Leeds United did have a remarkable result. Not only did he train a sign like "Leeds Three Musketeers", he also led a team of newly promoted teams to attack the championship. Last season, he even suppressed the "Old Lord" in the last year of his coaching career and snatched away the title of the best coach. There is no doubt about this coaching ability.

Manchester United did not come to contact Simon Grayson after repeated argumentation. Although the club owner Glazer family mainly changed coaches, the "Red Devils" are a money printing machine, and the Americans must require the team's performance. Even if Moyes leads the team to show competitiveness for the championship, they will continue to trust the Scots because of Ferguson's relationship. But now... although the season has only started, Manchester United has already shown signs of collapse.

If it weren't for all kinds of concerns, Moyes might have been fired now. After many meetings, Manchester United felt that he should give Moyes some opportunities, at least he would not decide whether to stay or not until the end of the season. But before that, Manchester United also had to prepare for a change of coaches, Simon Grayson, who was good at cultivating young players and led the team with excellent performance, of course, became the first choice of the "Red Devils". However, there is still uncertainty in this matter, so David Jill can only come forward, which can not only show his attention to Simon Grayson, but also reflect Manchester United's sincerity.

For any coach in English football, coaching Manchester United is a huge ***, otherwise Mourinho would not have returned to England from Spain so happily. However, because the "Old Sir" Ferguson is too strong, Manchester United finally chose Moyes. Otherwise, just because Moyes does not have experience in coaching teams, Manchester United will be more inclined to Mourinho.

However, Simon Grayson is different. This is a young but capable head coach. Although he is not famous enough at the moment, if the "Youth Guards" become the league champion this season, Simon Grayson will become a hot item.
