Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The next day, Li Shiguang, who has been very popular recently, appeared on many media again.

"Top 4 in the league? Li Shiguang's lies!"

"Mourinho is right. Leeds United's victory over Chelsea is all luck."

"Is this the so-called genius coach?"

"Leeds United rotated the lineup to challenge Charlton away and only took 1 point from the Valley Stadium."

"In the next game against Manchester United, Leeds United may be beaten back to its original form!"

"The thickness of the lineup will become Leeds United's biggest weakness!"

On the Internet, this draw made those English fans who had been spraying Li Shiguang for a week even more arrogant, and all kinds of offensive remarks were directly pulled to the limit.

"Hahaha, oriental boy, go back to your hometown, you still want to play in the Champions League with this level?"

"You can't even win Charlton, and you still want to kick one of the BIG4 out. I don't know where you get the courage."

"The above, in fact, rational analysis, Leeds United made a large number of rotations in this game. Li Shiguang must be preparing for the visit to Old Trafford in 3 days. It is understandable that he tied with Charlton."

"The above, does he think that Old Trafford can be conquered by letting the main players rest? Don't be whimsical, okay? Orientals should play table tennis, which they are good at. If they have to play football, Ferguson will let him know what a real strong team is."

"That's right. Even if this kind of team gets the European qualification, it will bring shame to the Premier League!"

"I agree. I used to like Leeds United. I didn't expect the boss and head coach to be such an arrogant person. He didn't want to learn from the good, but had to learn from Mourinho."

"I said before that although Leeds United beat Chelsea, they are still just a young promoted team. The biggest problem of this kind of team is that they are not in a stable state. Just wait and see. They will definitely be beaten back to their original form by Manchester United at Old Trafford in the next round."

"On the top floor, Manchester United will win at least 3 points. If there is one less, I will eat it upside down..."

But Li Shiguang, who returned to the Thorp Arch training base, had no time to pay attention to these remarks.

At the end of the morning training, Allen came to him and said something, meaning that the current online remarks are very unfavorable to Leeds United. Do you need to respond?

Li Shiguang didn't care. After all, football matters still depend on the final result.

Since everyone thinks that Leeds United will be beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford, then we should strive for victory with all our strength. At the very least, we should leave with 1 point!

But there is one thing that these media and fans are not wrong about. Manchester United's overall strength is indeed stronger than Leeds United. Li Shiguang can see this from the player attributes in the system alone, not to mention that under Ferguson's command, the tacit understanding of Manchester United's lineup is definitely higher than that of Leeds United, which has only been formed for more than a month.

Li Shiguang is clear about Manchester United's lineup in the first half of this season.

Ferguson generally likes to play a 4-4-2 formation, with Van Nistelrooy and Rooney at the forefront. These two players are rated S+ and A+ in Li Shiguang's system. Of course, it is not ruled out that Ferguson will use Tevez to replace Rooney. After all, as a new player just bought from Leeds United, Tevez must be more familiar with Li Shiguang's tactical play and the defensive habits of the two central defenders of Leeds United.

Then in the midfield, "ginger head" Scholes occupies the position of front midfielder. His powerful volley is definitely a weapon for Manchester United to attack the city.

On his left is Welsh winger Giggs. Although he is 32 years old and no longer at his peak speed, his rich experience on the wing and accurate crosses often allow Van Nistelrooy to score in the penalty area.

On Scholes' right is the Portuguese, one of the future world football's peerless duo, Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, the slightly immature Ronaldo has been entrusted with an important task by Ferguson. His sharp breakthroughs, accurate shots and creative passes on the field are also Manchester United's winning weapons.

In the defensive midfielder position, it is still the Irish tough guy Roy Keane. This veteran is 34 years old, and in Li Shiguang's memory, he should have left the team in the first half of this season because of frequent conflicts with Ferguson, which led to Manchester United's early termination of the contract. But in Li Shiguang's guess, there are variables in this position. According to Ferguson's understanding of Leeds United, he is likely to send Korean iron lung Park Ji-sung to increase the defensive area of ​​the midfield in this game.

As for the backcourt, in the middle is Leeds United's old player Feddy

Nand and Sylvester, Gary Neville and O'Shea, the "jack of all trades" in defense, occupy the left and right back positions.

The main goalkeeper is the Dutchman Van der Sar, who Ferguson bought from Fulham in the summer.

Li Shiguang repeatedly looked at the comprehensive ratings of these Manchester United players on the system. The lowest Sylvester has reached A level. It can be said that Manchester United is the real existence that crushes Leeds United in terms of hard power.

In fact, Li Shiguang had considered whether to give up the Manchester United game and focus on Charlton and Sunderland.

After all, even if Manchester United loses this game in the end, they can win the other two games, at least 6 points in hand.

But he also imagined that after he set the flag of striving for a Champions League seat this season, the only ones who might be willing to believe in him were the fans of Leeds United and his own players. If he chose to be timid before the battle in the face of a direct competitor like Manchester United, it might be a great blow to the confidence of the entire Leeds United team. So after weighing the pros and cons, Li Shiguang still chose to go all out.

Fortunately, he had enough tactical reserves in his mind. He planned to try something more novel in this game, that is, to play with a 3-5-2 formation.

Li Shiguang stayed in the Thorp Arch training base all afternoon to study Ferguson's tactical routines. Finally, combined with the memory of his previous life, he decided on this set of tactical play.

Looking back at the entire game of Manchester United this season, Li Shiguang found that their offensive was basically launched from the two wings. All the games that Manchester United lost in the end were because Ronaldo and Giggs were restricted too much, which made Manchester United unable to launch an effective attack.

Because the other two players in Manchester United's midfield, Scholes is more like a terminator than an organizer, let alone Roy Keane and Park Ji-sung, one is a midfield butcher, and the other is a runner, both of whom are defensive players.

As long as the two flanks of Manchester United are suppressed, 80% of Manchester United's offensive channels will be basically killed!

Therefore, Li Shiguang is going to play a 3-5-2 formation in this game. Once Giggs or Ronaldo gets the ball, the two central midfielders on both sides will immediately return to form a 5-defender formation, and then the two defensive midfielders will cooperate to assist in defense, and try to form a numerical advantage in the shortest time to steal the ball.

In this way, perhaps Leeds United can still win this game...
