Chapter 667 The price of willfulness

Willfulness comes at a price. In the nineteenth round of the league, Leeds United went to Manchester again. Of course, the opponent was not Manchester United, otherwise Li Yi would definitely not directly give the players two days off, another Manchester team Manchester City.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the field was 2:2. Although the score was tied, if you look at the process of the game, Leeds United almost lost.

In the past, Leeds United led the opponent 2:0 in the first half, but this game turned around. When the first half ended, it was Manchester City who played Leeds United 2:0.

Taking two days off before the game has a great impact, especially in Europe's biggest festival of the year. Li Yi can understand this, so he didn't get angry, just hoped that the players could work harder in the second half.

The holiday is Li Yi's decision, and he also planned for the worst, so even if he loses, Li Yi has nothing to say. Of course, admitting defeat like this is not Li Yi's style, nor Leeds United's style.

Besides, Li Yi also used cards in order to ensure this game. In addition, the players were ashamed and courageous. In the end, their performance improved in the second half. Coupled with Li Yikai's hang, the score was finally 2:2. .

It makes sense that God rewards hard work. Leeds United almost lost the game because of the two-day holiday, while other teams that normally train hard won the victory they deserved.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all beat their respective opponents, as for Arsenal? This season's championship has basically nothing to do with Arsenal. Now Wenger should consider how the team is not strong in the next half, and strive to compete for the top four seats in the second half of the season.

Although the final result of the half-way was not perfect, as far as the whole half-way was concerned, Leeds United's performance was perfect. After 19 rounds, Leeds United finished with 50 points, ranking first in the standings, 8 points ahead of second-placed Liverpool as much.

The second-placed Liverpool has 42 points, the third-placed Chelsea has 41 points less than Liverpool, and the fourth-placed is gradually catching up with 38 points. As for Arsenal, 32 points have already explained everything, and they are 18 points behind Leeds United. a lot.

Arsenal is not even fifth. Aston Villa is currently fifth in the standings. Martin O'Neill's team has performed quite well this season, leading Arsenal by 3 points after the 19th round.

Compared with Leeds United's half-time championship, the media only reported on the match between Leeds United and Manchester City, and many media also insinuated that Mark Hughes was incompetent, facing such a poor state of Leeds United. Still can't win.

At the same time, the media swears that Leeds United will definitely fall behind in the second half of the season, because after half the season, other Premier League teams have thoroughly studied Leeds United.

For the farts of the media,

Leeds United responded immediately in the game two days later. In the twentieth round of the league, Leeds United welcomed Aston Villa in excellent condition at home.

Martin O'Neal's team has been unbeaten in seven rounds, and the record of 4 wins and 3 draws is enough to prove the team's recent state. It is no wonder that O'Neal was full of confidence when he came to Leeds.

"Leeds United are a strong opponent, but we have done well recently. For the next game, as long as we stay in good shape, I think we can take away a satisfactory result at Elland Road."

Compared with O'Neal's confidence, Li Yi's performance disappointed the media: "Aston Villa has been in good shape recently, but we have encountered some problems."

When I heard Li Yi's words, I didn't know whether Leeds United was on a losing streak. Then I looked at Leeds United's record. In the last ten rounds, there were 8 wins and 2 draws. Are you sure he has encountered a problem?

Therefore, the English media have reasons to suspect that Li Yi is lying, but when Li Yi speaks ironically, his expression is so sincere and his eyes are full of sincerity.

England was skeptical, but domestic reporters were sure that Li Yi was ironic, but they would not break it, because it filled them with a sense of superiority.

In the past, the Chinese sports media only treated Europe coldly and their status was awkward, but this situation began to change dramatically after Li Yi appeared. Now the Chinese media can stand on the side proudly, even when they were interviewed by Leeds United. get preferential treatment.

This also makes the domestic media even more afraid to offend Li Yi, because the living example is just ahead, and the media that offends Li Yi in everything has been blacklisted.

Although Li Yi considers himself to be a generous and kind-hearted person, in fact, in the eyes of the media, Li Yi is a guy who must be punished.

And when the game really started, the Leeds United players also told Aston Villa with facts, you have been in good form recently, but we are even better, especially after the last game.

Because the two-day vacation almost lost the game, which made the players train harder after returning to try to find a place in the next round, but Aston Villa collided at this time.

No, Aston Villa can't be blamed either, because the schedule is so arranged, the FA can only be blamed.

After the start of the game, Leeds United immediately launched a strong attack at home. With the outstanding record of Leeds United and the popularity of the market, Elland Road Stadium became more and more terrifying at home.

In fact, this is understandable. Elland Road Stadium can no longer satisfy the hot market of Leeds United. Every game is a war for fans without season tickets.

Therefore, the fans who can come in to watch this game may not be able to come in the next game. Fans without season tickets will naturally explode all their enthusiasm, and fans with season tickets see that others are so enthusiastic, and naturally they can't show weakness.

In the frenzied shouts of the fans, Leeds United quickly broke the goal of Aston Villa, but this was not a goal in a sports battle, a chance for a free kick.

Beckham and Bell did not play in this game, so the free kick opportunity fell at the feet of Modric, and the Leeds United midfielder had a rare opportunity to tactical free kicks.

With Modric's goal, the game can be said to have completely fallen into the rhythm of Leeds United, so soon, Leeds United expanded the score and swept away the 0-2 decline in the last half.

Although Leeds United quickly rewritten the score to 2:0, this does not mean that Aston Villa has no strength to fight back, but it is a pity that they encountered Adler who was in good shape, and Van Dijk and Pavin also cooperated more and more tacit understanding.

After half a season, Van Dijk has come a long way, and the combination of him and Pavin is now enough for any team in the Premier League.

Therefore, the score of 2:0 was maintained until the end of the first half, but in the second half, Aston Villa still broke the goal of Leeds United, but this goal of Aston Villa has no effect on the game, because in Aston Villa Before Don Villa scored, Leeds United had scored 3 goals in this game.
