Chapter 171
Li Shiguang didn't expect Real Madrid to include Sneijder in the deal, but this didn't shake his determination to make Calderon bleed. Anyway, there was still nearly half a month before the winter transfer window opened, and he had plenty of time to deal with them.
The top priority now was still to focus on the league, and to survive the Christmas schedule first.
After get off work, Li Shiguang asked Chen Guanhai, who came to Leeds today, to have a meal outside.
After dinner, Li Shiguang originally planned to let Chen Guanhai go back to London by himself, but Chen Guanhai, who had already had Christmas vacation, insisted on staying in Leeds, saying that as a shareholder of the team and Li Shiguang's number one fan, he must witness Li Shiguang's feat of beating Mourinho at home this weekend! Then, with Chen Guanhai's repeated assurances that he would not disturb him, Li Shiguang took the nominal second largest shareholder of Leeds United back home.
After returning home, Li Shiguang quickly took a shower, then sat in the living room with his tactical board, and turned on two TVs waiting for the two highlights tonight to begin.
The reason why Li Shiguang wanted to watch these two games tonight was that he wanted to understand the status of Chelsea and Manchester United. On the other hand, after all, Leeds United lost yesterday, and Li Shiguang also thought that there might be some metaphysical favor. What if Manchester United and Chelsea also overturned today?
····
At 7:30 in the evening, the two games started at almost the same time.
After watching for a while, Li Shiguang felt that Manchester United and Chelsea might really overturn tonight!
Today, both teams played away, and their opponents West Ham United and Everton were in good shape. Chelsea played back and forth with Everton, while Manchester United seemed a bit miserable. In the first 30 minutes or so, they were basically suppressed by West Ham United.
However, what Li Shiguang did not expect was that the first team to lose the ball was not Manchester United, who was pressed in the half and struggled!
In the TV on the right.
In the 37th minute of the game, Everton got a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt. Arteta, who took the penalty, kicked a tricky corner with his right foot and directly broke through the gate guarded by Cech! Everton took the lead at home!
Soon, the referees on both sides blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. Manchester United and West Ham United were still 0:0 for the time being, while Chelsea entered the halftime break with a one-goal deficit.
15 minutes later, the four teams changed sides and fought again.
From Li Shiguang's perspective, the content of the second half was much more exciting than the first half.
First, on the Manchester United side, Ferguson should have lost his temper during the halftime break. Li Shiguang could clearly feel that the enthusiasm of Manchester United players for the game in the second half had increased. But West Ham United really kept the same attitude in the face of change, and it was still the same as in the first half. As soon as Ronaldo or Giggs got the ball and wanted to advance, two or three big men would immediately come to press, and the action was scary. Anyway, the worst result was that the ball could not pass the opponent.
Li Shiguang seemed to be inspired and nodded repeatedly.
Anyway, Premier League referees encourage confrontation. Leeds United can also use this trick when they play against Manchester United two rounds later. The main goal is to scare you, so that you dare not make any moves, dare not break through with the ball, so that there are some restrictions on both sides of Manchester United!
In this case, when the game was in the 75th minute, Manchester United was finally knocked open by West Ham United through a counterattack by their midfielder Cork!
In the end, West Ham United also defeated the leader Manchester United at home with this goal!
····
At Goodison Park, Everton and Chelsea launched a goal battle.
Chelsea equalized the score just at the beginning of the second half by Essien.
But just 10 minutes later, Everton took the lead again.
Then the two teams were deadlocked for nearly 20 minutes. Even Li Shiguang thought Chelsea was going to overturn, but in the final stage of the game, Chelsea suddenly exploded!
First, in the 80th minute, Lampard received Drogba's pass in the middle, and forced the interference of the left defender to shoot to help Chelsea tie the score to 2:2.
Then 5 minutes later, Lampard sent a wonderful straight pass to Drogba in the middle, and then Li Shiguang once again witnessed the bravery of the beast. De Brogdon rushed through the double-team of Everton's two central defenders, took the ball in the penalty area, and calmly pushed the ball, helping Chelsea to overtake at the last moment!
When Drogba slid to his knees to celebrate, Li Shiguang ran to the TV in Chen Guanhai's extremely weird sight and stared at the traces of Drogba's sliding knees. He wanted to see if there were really the legendary three stripes......
In general, Li Shiguang was able to accept the two games tonight.
Chelsea overtook Leeds United again after defeating Everton, and now leads Leeds United by 3 points, but the two teams will face each other directly next Saturday. If Leeds United can win, the two sides will be back on the same starting line again!
Manchester United was careless today and lost to West Ham United. Their lead over Chelsea is only 2 points, and the gap with Leeds United remains at 5 points. If Leeds United can successfully win the next two games, they may be able to climb to the top of the standings with the advantage of goal difference.
Looking at the two coaches with completely different expressions on TV, Li Shiguang habitually touched his chin again, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking...
