Football God.

After defeating Europa League opponent Anderlecht in the away game in midweek, the possibility of Leeds United qualifying in the Europa League group has greatly increased, but Heinrich is not happy.

Obviously, the league has dealt with all kinds of powerhouses one after another, and Leeds United under Heinrich has accumulated enough experience, but in the next few league games, Leeds United fell into a vicious circle of draws.

Different from cups such as the Europa League or the FA Cup, whether it is the group stage or the knockout stage, it is necessary to strive for victory. After all, sometimes a goal difference may cause the club to be kicked out, but the Premier League is different. For a full season, some mistakes in details can be made up for through later efforts. Besides, Leeds United has played the six strongest teams in the Premier League. It stands to reason that these leagues before Christmas do not constitute obstacles for them.

But the reality lies in front of us, four league games and three draws, directly let Leeds United slip to the No.3 position in the league with an undefeated body!

Heinrich rested his chin and looked at the standings projected on the big screen, without saying a word.

And the assistant coaches didn't speak, just sat there obediently, but they all saw worry in each other's eyes.

It was Heinrich's idea to gather all the coaches together and use the conference room to hold a very solemn meeting. At first, some assistant coaches thought it was unnecessary. It is necessary to hold meetings when there is nothing to do like those companies.

But Leeds United is Heinrich's words, and although these assistant coaches don't understand, they all completely acquiesce that their coaches must have other plans, and this habit has been maintained.

Up to now, when many coaches are used to this kind of meeting system of getting together for business and mutual analysis, this has become a rare rest time for a group of coaches in the busy club training affairs.

The players do (wan) train (you) practice (xi) in the tactics practice room, and they also use this time to get together to discuss tactics and chat by the way.

However, today's coaching meeting was obviously not easy. When Heinrich frowned and looked at the standings on the big screen, everyone felt a sense of crisis that was about to come.

It's not that the No.3 position in the league is not good. On the contrary, the current Leeds United fans are very satisfied with this result. Focusing on the Europa League and the domestic League Cup, it is unrealistic to force one's own club to stay first in the league.

But Heinrich doesn't think so. He used to be the top team, and whether it's Manchester United, Manchester City or Arsenal Chelsea, come and shoot one by one. The record of five wins and one tie against the top six clubs is completely worthy of being the top champion. status.

But after going through the most difficult period, he was slapped in the face by a team whose strength was far inferior to his own. The score of 0-0 in three games seemed to be that he did not lose. In the league, three points are awarded for a win, and one point for a draw. Now that they have lost six points in three consecutive draws, they have been directly dragged to third place in the league by Manchester United and Arsenal, two high-scoring teams!

If he had worked hard to reach this position from the middle and lower reaches, Heinrich would naturally not say much, but now that he has fallen from the No.1 position, this psychological gap is not easy to accept.

"What do you think about these three draws?" Heinrich turned his chair and looked at his assistant coaches with a calm voice, but the slight wrinkles between his brows were still not untied.

Everyone was unwilling to be the first to speak and looked at each other. In the end, it was Mr. Byron who spoke first: "Sir, we are now facing the Iron Barrel formation. Any club is strictly on guard against us. They don't want to enter. The ball, don't let us score, a draw is always inevitable in these situations."

How to break the dense defense is a world-class problem, and Leeds United is no exception. Heinrich naturally knows this, but this is not an excuse for the club to tie: "I can say this to the players, They are under a lot of pressure, so we need to comfort them with words of encouragement, but this must not be an excuse for us. As a coach, what we want is to win and win. Looking at the situation, we will drop directly to fifth."

Fifth, it means that the club has left the Champions League, which is completely different from the feeling of going from first to third.

All the coaches sat up straight. Basically, except for Heinrich and Bertram, who parachuted to Leeds United halfway, the others in this room were all coaches who had played for the White Roses for at least ten years. Sir, they may be able to accept that the team has no championship in the first season of promotion to the Premier League. After all, a year ago they were still struggling to prevent the club from being dissolved due to financial disbandment. They can't expect too much, but playing in the Champions League is every The hopes and expectations of a Leeds United must be fought for!

Heinrich tapped the control panel on the table with his hand, and soon clips of the three games were projected on the big screen.

Just when Heinrich was about to re-watch the key clips, Makelele suddenly asked, "Will a big victory help the players get back to their form?"

Heinrich paused slightly with his hand on the console, and raised his head to look at Makelele: "What do you mean?"

Makelele opened the familiar black book. Apart from Heinrich's fancy quotations, it was Makelele's records of the entire season's schedule and team deployment arrangements.

He quickly turned to the page about the League Cup and looked at Heinrich: "Sir, our opponent in the next round of the League Cup is an acquaintance, Toffee Everton."

Uh-huh?

Heinrich was obviously a little surprised. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the schedule of the League Cup. Even the current on-the-spot command is often handed over to Makelele.

The League Cup is different from other games of Leeds United this season. From the beginning, the second team was sent to deal with it.Compared with the FA Cup, a domestic cup that can determine who will enter the Europa League next season, the status of the English League Cup is much lower.

Many giants will choose to give up this cup strategically so as to shift more energy to the European war or the Premier League. Heinrich also thought so at the beginning, but after the first team and the second team, the League Cup match Most of them were handed over to the younger boys of the second team. Later, the coaching position also let Makelele go up to the monologue, and Heinrich seldom asked.

I feel a little guilty, after all, it is definitely not easy for the boys to advance to this stage, but Heinrich didn't even pay attention to who their opponents were, but Heinrich soon reacted and looked at Makelele: "We said before the game that no matter what the results of the Carabao Cup are, this season must be completely left to the boys to decide."

"Any echelon is for the first team, sir." Makelele was very calm. This calmness was not only due to his instinctive rationality as a defender, but also because Makelele believed that Leeds United was not from the very beginning. This signboard is Heinrich.

My own coach is now encountering difficulties, and the first-team players also have some obstacles in the league, so whether it is for the needs of tactical drills or to regain the confidence of the players, it is obviously necessary to use a League Cup game to restart the vitality of the team. A seemingly reasonable and good decision.

Heinrich naturally knew Makelele's good intentions, but he still shook his head: "I made a promise to the boys, the League Cup belongs to them, and there is no reason to deprive them of winning their own prize just because of the ups and downs of the first team. A chance for the championship." Glancing at the thoughtful Makelele, Heinrich smiled, "But Claude, you also reminded me that the morale of the team has been a little low recently. Obviously the hype from the media and fans got them a little bit lost."

Makelele nodded. In fact, he wanted to say this sentence a long time ago, but after all, he is not only a coach but also a defender of Leeds United. It is not easy to say the self-inflated words to the head coach after criticizing his teammates for winning streak. .

Heinrich focused his attention on the big screen again, and soon, he had an idea.

===

In the middle of the week, the League Cup ushered in the fourth round of competition. Everton sits at home against newly promoted rivals Leeds United!

This was originally a competition that did not attract much attention. Perhaps the first-team battle was very prosperous. Heinrich was abolished by Everton at the beginning of his career, but in this season's Premier League, Leeds United mercilessly stuffed ten eggs into Everton. It can be said that fans on both sides can kill you with just a pair of eyes.

But the League Cup is not being paid attention to by major clubs now. Everton has not used their main force. After all, they are currently in a severe relegation situation in the Premier League, and Leeds United is even too much. Not only the players are from the second team, but even the coaches are from the second team. Makelele do it!

Without Heinrich, the smell of gunpowder on both sides would not be ignited. In addition, the players are not young people who are familiar to passers-by fans, so the focus will naturally drop to a higher level.

But just one day before the start of the game, when Leeds United's club private plane landed at Liverpool Lennon International Airport, the people walking down from it made many sports reporters squatting excited instantly!

The formation is huge and there are many people, not only the players of the second team, but also the complete lineup of the first team!

The most eye-catching thing is that the leading man in a black windbreaker with short blond hair is the most attention-grabbing young coach of Leeds United, Adrian Heinrich!

Could it be that Heinrich and his first-team players who beat Everton madly in this game are going to go to the Toffees' home court to mess around again? !

A few hours later, Leeds United's official forum issued a statement directly.

"Official: Mr. Heinrich will lead the team to compete in the League Cup. The first team members will watch the game collectively in the VIP box. Fans who arrive at Everton, please pay attention to personal safety"

As soon as the statement came out, there was an uproar.

In fact, it is very common for club games to let players who have no game missions to watch the game on the spot, but this kind of away game has to open up and bring the whole club to watch the game together, I am afraid that Leeds United is the only one.

However, many fans felt a little lonely. Those star players who thought they could see the white rose beat up the children...

"The Times": The starting lineup has been released, Everton will send the main force to face the second lineup of Leeds United, the young white rose with an average age of 19 or hematopoietic wash? "

...WTF!

If it was a beating of a child, it turned out that Everton beat us?

what the hell!
