In fact, apart from the normal training this week.

In Li Shiguang's expectation, Leeds United might score the first goal, so he specially trained the players in the 5-defender formation, and also emphasized the theory of 13-second quick counterattack, requiring the players to kick the ball once they find a chance for a quick counterattack on the field, and quickly pass the ball to the feet of several frontcourt players, and then form an attack.

So it has been more than 20 minutes since the start of the second half, and Chelsea's attack can be said to have not made any progress in Leeds United's airtight defense.

Facing Leeds United, which had most of its forces in the backcourt, Chelsea could not form an effective pass on the ground. Often, once the ball was passed to the top of the penalty area, Yaya Toure and Milner would shrink in and cut off Chelsea's passing route together with Modric.

After playing like this for a while, the angry Mourinho signaled Chelsea's players to try to attack from the wing, dangle the ball into the penalty area, and let Drogba use his body to compete for the first point.

But Leeds United has also practiced this specifically.

As long as Duff or Robben gets the ball, in addition to Maicon and Bale, the two central defenders on the left and right, Silva and Chiellini, also quickly come over, not rushing forward, anyway, they will block their position and let you take the ball to the bottom line. With the physical fitness of these two central defenders, Duff and Robben can't squeeze at all.

They also tried to compete in speed, but when it comes to speed, Maicon and Bale have never been afraid of anyone!

Therefore, Mourinho's beautiful fantasy of letting players kick the ball from the side of the penalty area was also strangled in the bud by Li Shiguang. Occasionally, a pass was passed in, and before Drogba could jump, two big bald heads, Yaya Toure and Kompany, squeezed over, one against the other, and directly destroyed the ball out of the penalty area.

It was exactly the same as the plot in the first half.

In the 74th minute, Leeds United seized the loophole of Chelsea's pass again. Lampard's pass to Joe Cole was intercepted by Modric, and then a long pass was directly found to Falcao in the front. Falcao carried Terry and Carvalho to control the ball, and then passed the ball to Deisler who inserted from behind.

Facing Cech, Deisler made a calm low shot, and the football brushed Cech's fingers and smashed into the net. 2:0, Leeds United scored another goal!

Then, amid the cheers of the fans, Li Shiguang replaced Deisler, who had one pass and one shot today, with Ribery.

Leeds United changed their formation again, with four midfielders lined up in sequence, with Modric and Yaya Toure in the middle, Milner and Ribery on the left and right, completely entering a defensive state.

But in the injury time, Chelsea's eternal fighter Drogba relied on his own strength to overturn the Leeds United penalty area and finally won a penalty kick. Then Drogba himself took the penalty kick, which saved the defending champion Chelsea a little face.

In the end, with the cheers of the fans, Leeds United successfully defeated the visiting Chelsea 2:1.

After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Mourinho turned around with a sullen face and walked into the player tunnel, which made Li Shiguang, who had sorted out his clothes and wanted to come to shake hands with him, miss it directly.

After returning to the locker room to rest for a while, Li Shiguang was notified by the staff to attend the post-match press conference with today's best player Deisler.

As soon as the two sat down, a reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Hello, Mr. Li, congratulations on your victory today, but in the interview with Mr. Mourinho just now, he seemed to have some complaints about the conservative tactics you adopted today, saying that Leeds United's victory today was mainly due to luck. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Mourinho came to the press conference first. He didn't have a good temper to begin with, and then he lost the game today. In addition, the reporters sitting below added fuel to the fire, and his outspoken problem came back. He caught Leeds United's tactics today and sprayed them wildly, saying that Leeds United stole two goals purely by luck, and then retreated to defend after taking the lead.

Li Shiguang is not a good-tempered person. Hearing Mourinho's words, he rolled his eyes and said directly: "Haha, if two goals in open play can be considered luck, then what is Chelsea's penalty? God's gift?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha."

Li Shiguang's words also caused the reporters below to laugh.

After laughing, Li Shiguang's old acquaintance, Lin

De stood up again and asked: "Li, congratulations on leading Leeds United to defeat Chelsea. I want to ask you a question that I didn't ask you in the last interview, which is what is the ultimate goal of Leeds United in your heart this season?"

The last interview allowed Lind to see a completely different Li Shiguang.

He still remembered his surprised reaction when he heard that Leeds United would defeat Chelsea that day. Even after he returned to the newspaper and wrote the press release, in fact, in Lind's heart, he still didn't quite believe what Li Shiguang said about being able to defeat Chelsea.

So after witnessing Leeds United's victory today, he hesitated and raised this question, because he felt that Li Shiguang might give an answer that no one expected.

Hearing Lind's question, Li Shiguang frowned and thought for a while, then he regained his previous confident look and said, "As a new team in the Premier League this season, we don't have a very high goal. I set a small goal for the team myself, which is to join the Champions League next season."

As soon as Li Shiguang finished speaking, the reporters who were just smiling at him suddenly became quiet. Except for Lind who asked the question, they all stared at Li Shiguang who was smiling on the stage with their eyes wide open, with an incredible look on their faces.

It's no wonder that these reporters were so surprised. You know, with the current Premier League points in UEFA, only the top 3 can directly enter the Champions League group stage after the end of each season, and the 4th place in the league must first play in the play-offs, and only after winning the play-offs can they qualify for the Champions League group stage, but from the 5th place onwards, they can only participate in the Europa League.

And Li Shiguang's answer just now clearly means that this year's goal is the top 4 in the Premier League. So as a young promoted team, the current Premier League BIG4, who does he want to kick out?

Seeing that the reporters wanted to continue asking questions, Li Shiguang stood up and turned off the microphone in front of him, nodded to the side, signaled the reporters to interview Deisler, and then left the venue.

On Monday morning, Dong Fangzhuo came to the locker room as usual to change clothes for training.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw the team's big brother Scholes walking towards the door with a newspaper.

Seeing that it was Dong Fangzhuo who came in, Scholes, who seemed to be going out, stopped and waved to Dong Fangzhuo and said, "Good morning, Dong, come and see, this is the former boss from the East mentioned by Carlos."

As for the former boss that Tevez often talked about, Dong Fangzhuo also knew that he was an oriental like himself, but he had never learned whether he was his fellow countryman.

Hearing Scholes say this, he became interested for a while and hurried over to look at the newspaper in Scholes' hand.

As soon as he saw the smiling young man in the newspaper, Dong Fangzhuo immediately burst out with a mouthful of traditional Chinese medicine: "Fuck!!!!"

Isn't this the same person I met when I went to Istanbul to watch the game? ! ! !
