Starting with Real Madrid - Chapter 1216 Don't disappoint me, lads!

Latest website: The youth storm of Leeds United is blowing again in the entire European football world!

After the six rounds of the Premier League, everyone was surprised to find that Leeds United is still firmly locked in the leader position, leading the second-ranked Manchester City by 2 points. This may not seem like much, but it is of great significance.

Scoring 5 more goals than Manchester City, conceding 2 goals less than Manchester City, Leeds United's performance in the new season has shattered the glasses of countless people.

Before the season, many fans who vowed that Leeds United would encounter Waterloo are now surprised to realize their mistakes. It turns out that Leeds United is really strong.

Not only is the strength still there, the team from last season is still there, and more importantly, the team's bench lineup is strong enough.

Especially players like Vardy and Milinkovic have filled the vacancy left by Harry Kane and Dele Ali very well, and Kimmich and Rodri have basically filled in Fabio Neo's location.

As for Kanter and Van Dijk, who are most considered indispensable, after leaving the team, everyone guessed that Leeds United's defense would be greatly affected. Unexpectedly, Pochettino adjusted the team's tactics and let Leeds United play well. Take more control.

The central defender combination of De Ligt and Ruben Dias, coupled with Militao's rotation, ensured a stable defense.

It is precisely because Leeds United have such a strong lineup that they can occupy the leading position after six rounds.

However, it is not without doubts.

For example, Watford is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, but it is obviously impossible for this team to have such strength.

The reason is simple, they basically did not encounter strong teams.

Many British media believe that the current situation of Leeds United is also the same.

Pochettino's team has not really encountered a strong team. The only opponent that can barely be regarded as an opponent is Tottenham Hotspur.

The real test for Leeds United is in the seventh round, when they go south to London and visit Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

This is the real test!

Before going south to London, Leeds United first ushered in the third round of the League Cup. Their opponent was Macxfield from a low-level league. The game was arranged to be held at the Amazon Stadium.

Leeds United played with a lineup of all substitutes and young players. As a result, they beat Mackersfield 8-0 at home.

Rashford, Grealish, Sancho, Calvin Phillips and other players all started, and Sancho also scored twice, which was very eye-catching.

In the second half, Leeds United youth player Harland and Brazilian teenager Vinicius also came off the bench.

Among them, Haaland scored a goal.

It was after this crazy cup game that Leeds United went south to London.

And Gao Shen also went out with the team.

…

On the evening of September 29, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London.

This is destined to be a round of the league full of tragedy.

Before Leeds United went south to London, Watford, the most eye-catching dark horse at the start of the Premier League this season, lost 0-4 to Arsenal in the away game, and the league ranking fell directly to ninth place.

It seems that the quality of this dark horse is not enough.

Pochettino's team faced Sarri's Chelsea, and the game also entered a fast-paced offense and defense from the beginning.

Leeds United missed a great chance in the opening five minutes.

Mbappe got a very good chance to hit the goal in front of the goal. As a result, he failed to hit the angle and sent the ball directly to the arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa, missing an excellent opportunity.

After that, it was Mbappe. After receiving a pass from Arnold, he passed the center back Rudiger and kicked, but still failed to score.

Leeds United's opening attack was very fierce and aggressive as always, which made Chelsea quite embarrassed for a while, and it even seemed that the goal was within reach.

But at the critical moment, Leeds United's defense went wrong.

In the 22nd minute, with a long pass from Koulibaly, William, who successfully reversed offside, directly scored into the Leeds United penalty area. He faced Alisson single-handedly and crossed to the unguarded Mane, the former Leeds United winger. Scored easily.

This conceded goal disrupted the rhythm of Leeds United.

This group of young players is a bit out of control.

Just three minutes later, Brozovic sent a direct pass, and Mane successfully reversed offside again, broke into the left side of the penalty area and scored a single goal, expanding the score to 2-0!

It was Mane's eighth goal in eight league games this season, tying Mbappe in the top scorer list.

In the 32nd minute, Leeds United had a chance to score.

When counterattacking, Vardy sent a direct pass. After Mbappe got rid of the defender, he waded past Kepa who was attacking. As a result, the subsequent shot was a bit too big. He thought it was an empty goal and did not hit it. Before, Coulibaly, who returned to the defense in time, made a clearance.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Leeds United still created a lot of opportunities in a row.

The best of these is that in the 70th minute, Pochettino replaced Dembé, who had a mediocre performance, and used Valverde to go up. As a result, when the Uruguayan player received a pass from Robertson from the left, it was obviously unguarded. But the shot went wide.

Before the end of the game, the young substitute Felix had another bad chance, but his long-range arc shot hit the crossbar and almost scored.

In the end, Leeds United lost 0-2 away to Chelsea.

…

Gao Shen was sitting in the stands of the Stamford Bridge Stadium. He witnessed Leeds United's defeat in the away game, and he was quite speechless.

Judging from the process of the game, Leeds United played better, with 53% possession of the ball, even 6 percentage points more than Chelsea.

You know, this is Sarri's Chelsea.

In terms of the number of shots, Leeds United created 16 times and Chelsea only had 7 times.

However, Leeds United had two yellow cards and Chelsea had none.

The data also basically reflects some of the game's situation, that is, Leeds United won't score.

The reason for this situation was fully reflected in the game.

Otherwise, some people would say that the game is just a result!

For example, Mbappe failed to grasp the two very threatening shots in the opening game. This is evidence of the lack of shooting skills of the French teenager.

Conceding two goals in a row, the loss of control in just a few minutes is a manifestation of the fact that Leeds United players are too young and lack the ability to control their emotions. This should also be regarded as a test that young teams must go through.

From Gao Shen's point of view, what really reflected the problem was that in the 32nd minute, Mbappe's series of moves in front of him were very beautiful, but it was the last kick that was handled too casually, without much force, and the ball was too slow. Only then was Coulibaly caught up and made a rescue.

This is definitely a portrayal of the mood of many players at Leeds United.

The successive victories this season made these young boys proud and even arrogant.

They seem to have forgotten that this time they are facing Chelsea!

Thinking of this, Gao Shen let out a heavy breath.

Losing this focus battle is not necessarily a bad thing for Leeds United. The key depends on how Pochettino adjusts next.

Especially considering that three days later, the team will be a guest at Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona.

If it is one defeat after another, then the situation is dangerous.

Therefore, at this moment, Pochettino needs to regroup as soon as possible.

…

"In the past period of time, we were driving on the right highway, the players were very focused on the court, the improvement of each player was also very obvious, and the team achieved very good results."

"But at Stamford Bridge we lost that focus, the focus was gone and the performance was very disappointing."

"Today Sarri's Chelsea played a fantastic game in their own way, they deserved the victory, congratulations Chelsea! Congratulations Sarri!"

After the game, Gao Shen refreshed his Twitter immediately, and soon aroused violent reactions.

The media generally welcomed Gao Shen’s Twitter content, but most of the fans also agreed, and some believed that after the team suffered a tragic defeat and gave up the league leader’s position, Gao Shen’s Twitter was more like Add insult to injury.

In this regard, Gao Shen immediately refreshed the second post-match tweet.

The content is very simple, just one sentence.

"The leader of the league is not given by others, but you have to grab it by yourself!"

This sentence has once again been recognized by almost all fans.

After all, what is given by others is not as good as what is snatched by oneself, which is even more convincing.

Leeds United's championship last season was snatched from Manchester City.

What's more, at Stamford Bridge, Leeds United's performance was indeed bad, especially Mbappe, who missed so many opportunities in a row. This is not the performance that a core player of the team should have.

young?

Yes, very young indeed, only 19 years old.

But on the football field, age is the last thing to talk about.

Good performance is good, bad performance is bad. Will the opponent show mercy because you are young?

Since you want to be the first brother of the team, you must bear the responsibility and pressure that the first brother of the team should bear.

It can't be said that you want to enjoy power here, but you don't fulfill your obligations there. There is no such good thing in the world.

Gao Shen went south with the team, but he did not go back with the team. This was also interpreted by the media and fans as Gao Shen was very dissatisfied with the team's performance at Stamford Bridge.

This is also the pressure he deliberately left on the team.

Not just the players, but Pochettino.

The flowers that bloom in the greenhouse are fragile after all, and they have to go through the test of violent wind and rain.

After arriving in Cheshire and returning home, Gao Shen swiped the third tweet.

"As far as today's game is concerned, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com we lacked enough passion, lacked the necessary focus, and failed to cause trouble for our opponents."

"So, now, we have no right to complain, let alone guilt and shame."

"We used to be the strongest team in the Premier League, but tonight we lost to a team that was stronger than us. I hope that the players of Leeds United will also show a strong attitude and accept this defeat! "

"On October 3, I will go to Camp Nou in person!"

"Don't disappoint me, lads!"

That night, many Leeds United players, including Mbappé, who played Twitter, left messages under Gaoshen Twitter.

Obviously, they are all suffering from the loss at Stamford Bridge, and they are all introspective.

But they all understand that Gao Shen hopes that they can show a better, even the best performance at the Nou Camp.
