Chapter 231 An Unexpected Victory
It is not a good thing for Leeds United after losing two consecutive rounds of the league, because after ten rounds of the league, they have four wins, four draws and two losses. They only have [-] points. Still here, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other traditional strong teams left the gap and fell to fifth place, only two points away from sixth Tottenham.
Although it is too early to say the result at this time, everyone in Leeds United knows that the hole dug now will become a hurdle that must be passed in the sprint stage. If you continue to play like this, there will be no place to cry Crying, and the problems that Leeds United must face right now are far from over.
On October 10, the tenth round of the Premier League.
This is an extraordinary day, not only the Leeds United fans who were rubbing their hands excitedly, even Kenny, who was suspended, also sat in the stands after encouraging his teammates early. This is not the first time for him He came to the Dream Theater, but it was the first time he came here to watch the game as a spectator.This is the Red Devils Manchester United's home game against the challenger Leeds United. This is another red and white match, but the difference is that this crazy red is stronger than the previous Liverpool.
Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene also sang the famous song "Manchester United" early, and when the players from both sides entered the field, the singing also happened to reach its climax, so the cheers of mountains and tsunami came from all directions. When it was heard, Kenny, who was sitting in the stands, was also suffocated.
But this does not affect the fighting spirit and morale of the Leeds United people. How can Leeds United be an ordinary generation if they can go to today as a non-rich club?It was the first time that Kenny felt the madness of the Leeds United fans at such a close distance, not only the singing, but also the way they cheered was not much different from Manchester United, but it was the Leeds United fans who were no more than [-] people. Dream Theater does not lose its reputation.
But it’s no wonder that Manchester United has been introduced as Leeds United’s main competitor before. The confrontation between the two teams is also known as the "rose hatred". The grudge between the two teams originated in Yorkshire and Lancashire in history hatred between.The hostile relationship between the two regions can be traced back to the "War of the Roses" in the 15th century.Although the two cities of Leeds and Manchester are 40 miles apart, the hostile relationship between the two parties has not disappeared, and it has even been retained by the two clubs as a tradition.Independent polls conducted by the Census of Fans show that Leeds United and Manchester United are hostile to many clubs in England, and both rank among the top three clubs with the most deadly rivals.
Then, as time went on, the rivalry between the two clubs gradually went beyond the competitive level.When football hooligans were rampant in England in the 70s, Leeds United's "Service Gang" and Manchester United's "Red Army" were the most notorious football hooligan organizations in the UK at that time.Frequent conflicts occurred between the two parties, leading to many violent incidents that shocked British football.Although after the British government vigorously cracked down on football hooligans, violent conflicts between fans of the two teams showed a downward trend.However, the transfer of players between the two teams often arouses great indignation among fans, especially the transfer of Leeds United players to Manchester United.In the early years, the core players of Leeds United, Joe Jordan and Gordon McQueen, switched to Manchester United, and then the core Eric Cantona left, which also made the hatred between the two sides even deeper.Even the British "Daily Telegraph" once dubbed the confrontation between the two teams "the hottest and most inexplicable hatred in English football".
Because often in the game, not only the players on both sides will be very angry, but ordinary fans who are not football hooligans will also fight with mineral water bottles while the security personnel are not paying attention.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, coach O'Reilly still deployed an all-attack 4-2-1-3 formation in the absence of Kenny. The bilateral generals composed of Keane and Alan Smith In the game, Beckham and others will have a direct confrontation!This can be described as a battle between dragons and tigers, and O'Reilly's formation of troops proves it!Would rather attack madly than defend sloppily, this is the attitude of facing the deadly enemy!
So after the start of the game, although they were fighting at Manchester United's home court, the players of Leeds United did not lose the wind at all. Bowyer, Dacourt and others showed a brave style, and they were evenly divided with Manchester United for a while.Although the Manchester United fans in the stands tried their best to interfere with the Leeds United players, the two sides are inseparable under the unity of the three armies like Leeds United.
And the physical contact and collision that will appear from time to time, the intensity even Kenny sitting in the stands broke into a cold sweat, but it is strange that there has not been a yellow card in this game until now.This is of course due to the fact that the referee's law enforcement is relatively loose. This may be because the players on both sides are more restrained, especially the players of Leeds United.After Kenny was suspended, they dare not be careless right now. If something goes wrong at this time, it will be over!
However, when the game unknowingly entered the second half of the second half, the Leeds United players had to gradually become rough because the Manchester United players put too much pressure on them.
And this also made Kenny, who was sitting high in the stands, feel the horror of the rich background. As the number one club in the Premier League, the Champions League championship has become the focus of Manchester United's new season this season, because the league championship is as important to them as they are. It's just a bag of money. The acquisition of Veron and Ruud van Nistelrooy for £4710 million has made Manchester United's midfield more creative and lethal. At the same time, Ferguson does not want to lose Europe for the third time. The title of champion is up!
Therefore, under such strong pressure, the Leeds United players gradually began to be overwhelmed. In No. 603 minutes, the coach O'Leary, who saw the players' physical exertion, used Wilcox to replace Kewell, and Buck replaced Bowyer.Even if he doesn't want to admit it at this time, Leeds United must turn defensive!At the same time, under the signal of coach Ferguson, the Manchester United players quickly launched a violent attack, taking advantage of Barker, Wilcox and others' unsteady footing.
But after that, the Leeds United players showed great resilience. They even relied on Alan Smith's one-foot tackle after receiving Batty's pass to beat Leeds with a slight advantage of 1:0. Manchester United, who occupy the advantage of the home field.
