The game was over, and the game was over.

It was halftime.

In the away locker room, Copper was drawing the tactical arrangements for the second half on the whiteboard. The only sound in the locker room was the "swish, swish" sound when he touched the whiteboard with the tip of his pen.

The whole atmosphere was terribly quiet. All the players in Reading looked at the whiteboard, and no one spoke.

"Bang"

After drawing, Copper threw the pen in the corner with a livid face. Looking around, the bulging blood vessels next to his temple showed that his inner anger had swelled to the extreme.

Using the little bit of rationality left in his mind to control himself and take a deep breath, Copper said: "Guys, cheer up. Most of the responsibility for the goal lost in the first half is mine. There was something wrong with my tactical arrangement."

Seeing Copper say this, the players of Reading quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was slightly relaxed.

"The second half of the game will be more difficult. I believe everyone has seen that we were all tricked by that oriental man. Leeds United still maintains sufficient physical strength."

"But this will not be a reason for us to admit defeat. Think about what we said before the start of the game. Go out and fight, boys, equalize the score, overtake the score, fuck the damn English Championship!"

After saying the words he had been brewing for half a day, Copper began to talk about the tactical arrangements for the second half.

15 minutes passed quickly. With the encouragement of the head coach, the players of Reading, who had just regained a little confidence, had just returned to the court for less than 5 minutes before Adebayo shattered their pitiful confidence.

Reading players had been frustrated by Leeds United's high-pressure defense for nearly 5 minutes.

Finally, in the 49th minute, there was a pass error, and Tevez, who got the ball, used his body to carry the central defender of Reading and made an inverted triangle pass.

Adebayor had been waiting on this pass route early.

So 1 second later, a powerful shot from near the small penalty area broke through Reading's goal again.

2:0.

After Adebayor scored this goal, Reading was defeated, and Coper used up three substitutions in 5 minutes.

But it was of no avail.

In the remaining 40 minutes, Tevez scored 2 more goals, and finally Leeds United defeated Reading 4:0, winning their 8th consecutive victory since the start of the second half of the season.

For Li Shiguang and Leeds United fans, this week was another perfect week.

Bates, who was far away at the Hawthorns, was now full of sorrow.

West Brom lost again!

Previously, Bates and Blackwell could no longer tolerate Howard's consecutive mistakes and finally put Howard on the bench.

It's funny to say that after Howard came on the bench, West Brom won 2 games and drew 2 games in 4 games, temporarily escaping the relegation zone.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The main goalkeeper was injured in training this week.

There was no choice but to send Howard to the field again, and the result did not disappoint them.

Howard got a red card in this game, and happily let Birmingham, who came to visit, take away 3 points.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace, which was only 4 points behind West Brom, also lost, otherwise Bates really wanted to hack Howard to death!

But the old man is under a lot of pressure. After losing the game the day before yesterday, the public opinion that had improved a little came up again.

Countless fans flocked to the official website to curse Bates and Howard, accusing them of being irresponsible and wanting West Brom to be relegated and play in the Championship.

Seeing these comments, Bates was really angry about his high blood pressure. He was not mentally ill. Why did he have to play in the Championship when he had the Premier League?

What was even more annoying was that yesterday, he learned that Leeds United had once again defeated their opponents, which made Bates feel uneasy.

After all, seeing Li Shiguang and Leeds United doing well was more uncomfortable than seeing West Brom relegated!

Especially now.

In his hand, he held a stack of scout reports.

At the top was Tevez, who scored twice in yesterday's game under Li Shiguang!

When the scout handed him the report, Bates really wanted to tear it up directly.

After all, he had just been cheated by Li Shiguang, and he had no trust in the players in Li Shiguang's hands.

Later, under the scout's persistent persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to take a look.

After finishing the work at hand, Bates picked up the scouting report.

He said without emotion that Tevez

The data is really attractive.

Tevez, who is only 21 years old now, played as a substitute in garbage time under Blackwell in the first half of the season and did not have many opportunities to perform.

But since the first game after Li Shiguang took over Leeds United, including yesterday's 2 goals, he has scored 6 goals in just 8 games.

At the bottom of the first page of the report.

It also wrote the scout's evaluation of Tevez: full of physical energy, strong physical confrontation ability, good shooting skills, excellent technology and talent.

Nodding gently, Bates rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

From the data, Tevez is undoubtedly a very good player.

But Li Shiguang's urine, after the last match, he already has a general understanding.

He dared to sell a goalkeeper for 15 million euros.

Now a striker with such excellent data must be sold at a sky-high price.

The most important thing is that if it is worth the money, he won't say it is expensive.

If he buys another Howard, he will be in big trouble!

Thinking of this, Bates picked up the phone at hand and called the scout director of West Bromwich Albion: "The report submitted by your department just now is about the Argentine from Leeds United. You can try to contact the player privately to see what he wants. Also, please pay attention to whether there are other clubs interested in this Argentine. If so, report to me immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Bates once again made a small calculation.

He was really scared of being cheated, so even if he wanted to buy this time, he planned to join the battlefield at the end.

If there are other clubs paying attention to Tevez during this period, it is likely that he will not make a mistake this time!

Just when Bates was still struggling to decide whether to make an offer.

Li Shiguang was sitting in the office, and Allen next to him was reporting to him: "Boss, we have received 5 offers today, 2 for Adebayor, 2 for Tevez, and 1 for Sneijder."

Hearing Allen's words, Li Shiguang's mouth curled up the sly smile he had when he sold Howard last time: "Reject them and say that these players are not for sale at Leeds United!"
