fat man who can't play football

Chapter 179 Friction
In order to allow Gao Hongbo to integrate into the team faster, Steve asked the club to provide him with a translator.

After more than a week of study, Director Gao has basically been able to understand Leeds United's tactical language.

Gao also works very hard. He spends his days on the training ground. When the first team trains, he trains with the team. From time to time, he shows off his footwork, which makes him quickly recognized by the Leeds players.

During the intervals between first-team training, Gao also went to watch the training and games of the Leeds reserve team and youth team, often standing outside the barbed wire for several hours.

Fatty could tell that Director Gao had a heartfelt love for football.

Before the game against Bournemouth, the fat man asked Gao Hongbo to participate in the tactical meeting and called him to speak.

Although Director Gao didn't understand why the wretched fat man in front of him favored him so much, he didn't give up this opportunity to show himself.

When Gao talked about technical terms, his English seemed a little stumbling.But after all, Gao has a fairly successful international career, and also has a beautiful resume of coaching professional clubs and national teams.

He has his own unique insights and control over the current trend of football tactics. In fact, Steve lacks a lot of professional knowledge.

Gao equaled to give Steve a tactical crash course for free.

Gao's ultimate pursuit of ball control and ground coordination also surprised the coaches of Leeds United. Such a "freak" was cultivated in that ancient oriental country where football lagged behind like a desert.

In addition, there are some discordant voices in Leeds.

Since Steve was excluded from the 18-man list for two consecutive games, Hughes has instructed his agent to find a next home. In his opinion, his Leeds player career may come to an end.

During the training, Hughes also seemed to lack interest, and he had begun to show some signs of not working hard.

I don't know if Hughes's body control has declined due to being too relaxed. In a tackle, Hughes' body was thrown a little out of control.

The shovel made Phillips' shin guards fly out.

After falling to the ground, Phillips kept rubbing his calf and couldn't get up for a long time.

The good-tempered Cook was also irritated by this scene, and he rushed up and gave Hughes a hard push: "What's wrong? (What's wrong) Hughes, are you showing off your head?"

… Words starting with the letter F spewed out immediately. Facing the captain, Hughes showed no signs of admiration.

Austin, the veteran who was closest to the two of them, rushed up and separated them.

This is really a scene that made Steve feel familiar. I remember that when Leeds was still in the British Championship, Pierce, the team's former captain, made such a fuss about leaving the team.

There were more and more players around Cook and Hughes. The two were held back by their teammates, unable to move even a centimeter forward.

The two people who were full of anger could only use the swear words they had learned all their lives, and yelled frantically, as if they were going to tear each other apart by the ferocity of their facial expressions.

The fat man is a little tangled up now. If Hughes is kicked to other teams in the winter window according to the way he dealt with Pierce, the team will lose a lot of strength.

After all, no one can guarantee that Leeds United will not encounter injuries in the next games of this season, and the team is facing a two-line battle.

Hughes hasn't got a chance so far, it doesn't mean he has no strength, it's just a tactical consideration of the coaching staff.

Steve and his team have always regarded Leeds United as a challenger in the Premier League, so the first consideration in the selection of midfielders is defensive ability and running coverage.

This makes Phillips, who is physically bursting, stand out.

Although at present, the team's midfield operation and recent record are not bad, Hughes is a useful supplement to the starter in the bench lineup. As long as Hughes Jr. comes on the field, he can use his breakthrough and passing ability to make the team The offense and defense conversion is upgraded.

What Hughes is currently doing is really difficult for Steve. Originally, as long as he is down-to-earth, he will definitely be able to get a lot of opportunities in the team's two-line battle.

But now he had a head-on conflict with captain Cook. Fatty had to maintain the captain's authority in the team, so he immediately expelled Hughes from the training ground.

Hughes took off his training uniform and threw it on the lawn, cursing and walking out of the Dothorpe Arch Center.

The fat man, who was hesitant at first, also made up his mind at this moment. It seemed that he could only imitate Sir Alex Ferguson and beat Stam with tears.

At that time, the Dutch iron guard claimed in his autobiography in 2001 that Ferguson persuaded him to transfer from the original Eindhoven club in 1998 and adopted a private contact method to negotiate the transfer behind the club's back.

This caused an uproar, and even the FA almost launched an investigation on Ferguson. In order to maintain the stability of the team, Ferguson reluctantly sent Stam, the team's iron guard who won three consecutive Premier League titles, to Lazio.

This also caused turmoil in Manchester United's defense, causing them to lose the Premier League crown in the 01/02 season.

Ferguson Ferguson's iron-fisted army made Manchester United lose something, but it is this kind of stubbornness that maintains the absolute authority of the head coach that has made the Red Devils come back countless times.

In several crises such as Beckham's "flying boot door" and Keane's public criticism of his teammates on TV, Ferguson chose to cleanse the club's meritorious veterans.

Even if you fall into the short-term predicament without a crown, you will not hesitate.

What happened later proved that these decisions made by Ferguson were extremely correct.

Steve feels that neither the reference of history nor the current situation allows him to be indecisive, and the rest will soon usher in a period of training with the reserve team.

Fortunately, this farce did not affect the state of Leeds' young players. They were tightly united around Cook and won the away game against Bournemouth with a score of 2-1.

Eddie Howe's team insisted on an offensive style of play in the game, which created a lot of difficulties for Leeds United, and even got more scoring opportunities than Leeds.

Reluctantly, in the final stage of the game, the fiery Hong Beibei won a valuable penalty kick for Leeds by relying on his own breakthrough.

Belotti scored the winning penalty with bated breath.

Through this difficult victory, as well as the bravery of his teammates on the training ground before, Cook has further established himself as the leader of the team.

This makes Leeds United, a seemingly immature team, condense into a terrifying force.

In the No.12 round of the Premier League, Leeds United defeated the newly promoted Hull City 3-0 at Elland Road Tegula, winning a wave of three consecutive victories in the league.

The league results also came to six wins, five draws and one loss after the game, and the ranking has quietly touched the threshold of the European theater.

The boys who twisted into a rope defeated Vienna 11-25 in the Europa League qualifying battle on November [-].

After five group matches, Leeds United ranked second in the group with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 10 accumulative totals.

Roma in front of them is not much ahead, just one point more than Leeds.

In the final round of the group stage, Leeds United will usher in a battle for the top spot with the "Red Wolves" at home.

The consecutive victories seem to have made the Leeds players forget about Hughes. Victory is indeed a good medicine to solve all the problems of the team.

At this time, Hughes was being beaten to death by many young and strong bodies on the reserve team training ground.
