193 Overtaking

After leading three goals, the Leeds United players are already desperate. Leeds United's brave performance this season has a lot to do with the fearlessness of these young players. Even in the face of Manchester United and Arsenal, their football is moving forward.

It is this belief that makes Leeds United now ranked fourth in the Premier League.

But the game with Blackburn made Leeds United very aggrieved. As George analyzed, Leeds United's attack is powerful. But one of their fatal weaknesses is that there is no midfielder who can control the pace of the game.

Bowyer is very strong, but his surname and temper are not suitable to be the midfield commander of a team.

Now the English team is basically playing a 4-4-2 parallel position, which is their traditional formation for decades. This style of play is neither a diamond-shaped position nor a double-back position. It is a very typical bilateral tactic.

Then use the center to control the first landing point. Of course, there will be an opportunity striker in the front line, and the player inserted behind the midfield controls the second drop point. Although this tactic has been developed for decades, it is still relatively simple and rigid. But it is very rage in England.

Thanks to the fact that most teams have this kind of tactics, the Leeds United midfield lacks a midfielder to control the rhythm, which will not be very serious.

But when playing against Blackburn, the shortcomings in this aspect are magnified infinitely. Because Blackburn's playing style is completely different from other clubs in England, even compared with Manchester United and Arsenal.

Even if it is placed in world football, Blackburn's current playing style is completely different from the 4-2-3-1 of the European continent.

Blackburn is the first club in English football to use technology to control the midfield. Use two players, Miku and Deco, who have excellent ball control and pass the ball, and use their skills to control the midfield rhythm of the club. In the face of Blackburn, Leeds United's midfield loss is very obvious.

English football has always paid attention to speed, especially the number of times it passes to the opponent's dangerous area. Therefore, the offensive and defensive pace of English football is quite fast, although there are many mistakes. But they think that the more times the ball enters the dangerous area, the more chances to score goals can be created.

So Blackburn, this kind of play that pays attention to midfield control is so different in England. George used five midfielders to deal with England's four midfielders. George always thought that who can win the midfield can win the game.

George's style of play was still very difficult when he met the traditional English team. Even in the way of playing high in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, the pressure of the defender is very high. Because their teams don't want to play midfield at all, one or two passes have already passed into the penalty area. Their teams don't care about the midfield at all. Even if they pass through the midfield, they pass quickly.

Fortunately, Haipia performed well this season, especially the header was quite excellent. And Hendry, the defender, is experienced and helps Haipia.

But George's style of play is accurate for those teams that study mainland football. As the saying goes, there is no good or bad difference between those formations. It depends on how you use them.

Playing Leeds United, a team that is determined to build a technical flow, George's style of play has a lot of advantages. You play midfield with me and play you to death.

The Leeds United players lost their anger, and Blackburn did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. George let some players rest. Anyway, they have won the game, so there is no need to waste physical strength.

In the thirty-second round, Blackburn defeated Leeds United 3-0 away.

After winning, George proudly shouted at the reporter at Leeds United's home court. Leeds United, they are finished now. I said earlier that my goal is to place in the League Cup, and they will automatically fall behind in just a few games.

George's arrogant performance made the Leeds United media and fans grit their teeth.

In response to the condemnation of the Leeds United reporter, George said with contempt: "There are only two results in the football match, one is the winner and the other is the loser. Leeds United has lost to me twice this season and is not qualified to have the same dialogue with me.

Some kind reporters told George that Leeds United is still one point ahead of Blackburn.

"One point, I have chased the original eleven points. One point, that's not a gap.

............

It is true that Leeds United is not a strong team with strong pressure resistance. Many of their teams are playing in the professional league for the first time this season. Including Woodgate, Smith and Steve. McPhail has just been brought up from the youth team this season. Even if it's Cowell and Ian. Hart also played in the professional league for the first time last season.

These players are very strong, but they are very inexperienced. When the wind is smooth, the performance is excellent. But once you encounter a lot of pressure, you will start to collapse.

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Leeds United challenged Newcastle away.

In the face of Newcastle, a bad team this season, Leeds United's performance is even worse. It turned out to be a zero-one loss to Newcastle. In a bad March, all the advantages of Leeds United disappeared.

"I like Gullite so much. If it were a woman, I would show my love to him. Hahaha." Watching the live broadcast, George couldn't help kissing his family, Gulit.

Burnley was able to beat Chelsea in the final of the League Cup last season. In fact, there was also Gullite's sudden resignation, which was related to Viali's new appointment. When George needed it most this season, it was Gulit's Newcastle who gave George three points. Of course, it was not once. He lost to George's Blackburn in both rounds.

Now is the time when George needs it. Newcastle has won a victory over the powerful Leeds United.

"Gurit, it's really..."

Blackburn, who kicks off later, faced Everton at home and was extremely brave.

In the all-time fans "Union Cup! League Cup!" In the cheers, Everton was cut off the horse three-to-one neatly.

Entered the top four for the first time this season, surpassing Leeds United by two points.

"Did I say that Leeds United will definitely lose points? They will definitely lose points. Am I right?"

After the game, George shouted excitedly in front of the players in the locker room.

"Yes! That's right!"

The players are also excited now. From the bottom of the league at the beginning of the season, it has now surpassed Leeds United to become the fourth place in the league. The joys and sorrows in the middle are absolutely impossible for outsiders to know.

"I can tell you that they will still lose points. They have to continue to lose. They can't bear the pressure anymore.

George is also in high spirits. Standing in the front is like pointing to the country. Leeds United are all children. When the fight goes well, no one can stop it. But when they are under pressure, they can't stand it. Look at their record in March, two draws and two losses. They will definitely continue to lose points."

"As long as we continue to win, the fourth place in the league is ours. As long as we sit down, we won't lose this seat. Isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"We won't lose this position."

George raised his hand, and the players who shouted in an instant stopped. We are going to participate in the League Cup next season. Let the damn Leeds United get out of here!"

"Let the damn Leeds United get out of here!"

Blackburn's dressing room has become a sea of cheers.

On April 17, the 34th round of the Premier League began.

This time, Blackburn took the lead in kick-off and faced the sixth-ranked West Ham United at home.

Now the Premier League is relatively loose. For example, Arsenal has lost three games and tied eleven games, and it is still the top team in the Premier League. Unlike the Premier League after the new century, it is not an unbeaten season for Arsenal to win the championship. Later, after Mourinho came to the Premier League, if he had lost three games and tied eleven games, he would not have been qualified for the championship. But now it is at the top of the Premier League.

Leeds United have lost seven games, but they can still rank fifth in the league. Because West Ham United has lost more, they have lost eleven games. If Leeds United had not had more draws than West Ham, the gap between them would have been more than ten.

Although it is said that he has a good relationship with Red Knapp, this is not the time to talk about friendship.

West Ham United's ability to come to the sixth place is already Redkk Napp's strong coaching strength, but in the face of the current high morale, Blackburn, who killed his eyes for the League Cup, lost without a few protests.

Blackburn defeated West Ham United 2-0 at home. The score with Leeds United widen to five points.

The pressure returned to Leeds United, and Leeds United did not resist the pressure. They were tied by Leicester City one-to-one at home.

At the end of the 34 rounds, Blackburn's lead reached four points.

It may be that the momentum of these games is too strong. Blackburn was unable to continue his good form in the 35th round.

Facing the once defeated Aston Villa at home, the two sides are playing offensive football. In fact, George is not a coach who is willing to take risks, but the game was scored by Villa because of the first two minutes. In desperation, George could only start a goal battle with Villa.

Finally at home, Blackburn and Villa scored six goals. Blackburn was tied three times by Villa at home.

Leeds United didn't seize such a good opportunity. He played bis-2 with Coventry on the road, and the gap was still four points.

There are three rounds left in the game, and both teams are facing strong opponents.

Leeds United's remaining three games face Liverpool, Arsenal and West Ham United in turn. They are all strong Premier League teams.

And Blackburn's three opponents are not as easy as Biliz United. It is followed by Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest is the best game, because Nottingham Forest has been relegated. The players are thinking about their future and have no intention to play football at all. And George didn't want to play a big score with them, so he took the initiative to recover after leading 2-0.

And Leeds United played their nerve knife against Liverpool. A 4-1 score completely made Holier dumbfounded. Leeds United finally got out of the downturn during this period.
