"Fuck! Treacherous Spaniard!"
Seeing the football slowly rolling into his own goal, Li Shiguang couldn't help but greet Fabregas warmly. This time, the flying mineral water bottle was replaced with the one placed in front of the Leeds United bench.
Looking at the ecstatic Wenger, Li Shiguang knew that he was careless.
He had long discovered that Fabregas's retreat had relieved Arsenal's offensive pressure, but in order to score another goal and lock in the victory earlier, he still didn't let the players close the gap, which resulted in too much space behind the entire defense line, and Fabregas seized the opportunity to send this wonderful pass!
He looked down at his watch.
There were about 25 minutes left before the end of the game, so there was a chance to win.
Li Shiguang quickly turned around and looked at the bench: "Wesley, Fernando, you two go warm up!"
Hearing the coach's call, Sneijder and Torres quickly stood up from the bench, took off their vests, and started warming up along the sideline.
After arranging the personnel, while Arsenal was still celebrating, Li Shiguang found Modric who came to the sidelines to drink water: "Luka, tell Yaya later to let him withdraw to play as a single defensive midfielder, and then you and Wesley will play as a central midfielder. Also, tell Gareth to move him to the left winger position. Tell them to withdraw the entire front line and not fight so hard in the frontcourt. After Wesley and Fernando come on, we will change to 4-3-3."
"Okay!"
Modric nodded, ran back to the field and began to convey Li Shiguang's arrangements to his teammates.

"Well, both sides are back to the same starting line." Eddie Gray seemed a little disappointed. If this game was a draw, Leeds United could only hope that Manchester United would make mistakes, and then they would have the possibility of reaching the top in a short time. "We saw that Lee made adjustments. Sneijder and Torres came on the field, replacing Alonso and Ribery. It seems that Leeds United will change to play three forwards."
"Yes, Bale has already stood in the position of left winger, but..." Norman Hunter hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, he still expressed his worries, "But what Lee should really pay attention to is the overall pressure of the front line. I don't know if this goal has made him realize this problem."
"Don't worry, Norman." Seeing that Norman seemed to be more depressed than himself, Eddie Gray comforted the Leeds United star, "Even you can see the problem, how could Lee not know it? Didn't you say it before the game? Believe that they have made enough preparations to win this game..."
What the hell? If you can't speak, you don't have to say anything. What do you mean I can see it?
Norman turned his head and rolled his eyes at Eddie Gray who was talking freely.
Although he knew he meant well, why did his words sound so unpleasant...

The referee blew the whistle, Torres, who had just come on the field, kicked off, and the game resumed.
With the adjustment of Leeds United's tactics and the return of the score between the two sides to a tie, the mentality of the players on both sides also changed slightly.
After Leeds United no longer insisted on high-pressure defense, Fabregas was liberated. Now he would not be disturbed too much by Leeds United when holding the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Only when he was close to the center circle, Modric or Sneijder would come up to defend him. In this case, Arsenal also organized several attacks from the middle, but they were all advanced to the outside of Leeds United's penalty area before being intercepted or destroyed out of bounds.
After adjusting the lineup, Leeds United changed its previous style of play and now focuses more on attacking the two flanks. Modric and Sneijder cooperated more with their teammates on the flanks after getting the ball, trying to break through Arsenal's defense from the ribs or the bottom line.
In this situation, the two teams went back and forth, and with the cheers of more than 60,000 fans in the stands, they played a more exciting game than the previous few minutes!
Watching the two teams going back and forth on the field, Eddie Gray returned to his previous mentality of worrying about gains and losses: "The situation is a bit tense now, Norman, I feel that Leeds United is a bit slow to break the situation."
Norman also frowned and stared at the TV screen tightly: "You are right, Arsenal is different from us. Look at the standings, they are now hopeless in the championship, but they are more than enough to maintain the fourth place. If they can get a draw at home in the end, it is completely acceptable. Now it depends on what solution Li has!"
Li Shiguang is also thinking about this problem. After all, Arsenal is not a rotten fish and shrimp. Leeds United is a little timid now, and it is indeed difficult to find any particularly good opportunities!
HelplessNext, Li Shiguang could only focus on Modric, who was blessed with the [Peak Beckham Experience Card].
I hope my disciples can get more opportunities for point balls through breakthroughs!

In the 79th minute, Leeds United launched an attack from the backcourt again. But Arsenal, who had just completed the attack, retreated quickly. Except for Walcott who was still harassing Toure who was holding the ball in the frontcourt, everyone else quickly retreated to their own 30-meter defense area.
When Leeds United's ball passed the center line, Arsenal's players had already stood in position and were ready.
After passing several times in the frontcourt, Leeds United did not seem to find any good opportunities.
Arsenal arranged two very tight defense lines in front of the penalty area. There were not many gaps between the back line and the forward line. Leeds United passed the ball horizontally for several rounds, but they still did not find an obvious loophole that allowed them to pass the ball behind the Arsenal defense line.
But when the ball fell to Modric's feet, the situation suddenly changed, because in his field of vision, on the other side of the court, a white figure stretched out his left hand and pointed forward in a very hidden way, and from his running posture, it seemed that this person was already a little eager to move.
So Modric pushed the ball forward slightly, then kicked the grass with his left leg, kicked the bottom of the ball with his right foot, and then the ball flew quickly to the back of the Arsenal penalty area with a strong right spin.
"Modric passed the ball directly!?" Eddie Gray was a little puzzled.
From his perspective, there was no receiving point in the penalty area, and there were two tall people, Kolo Toure and Gallas, standing in the middle. Isn't this handing over the ball?
Seeing Modric kick the ball and pass it, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV should have the same idea as Eddie Gray.
In addition to the two head coaches standing on the sidelines who were always paying attention to the situation on the field.
"Watch out to the left!"
"Support the left!"
Two different sentences sounded almost at the same time.
