Chapter 65 Preheating
5月9日,利兹就将开启升级附加赛的征程。利兹球迷最近一次的附加赛回忆并不美妙,05/06赛季利兹在附加赛半决赛逆转普雷斯顿后,在决赛中被沃特福德3比0击败。

This failure to surpass the White Rose was a fatal blow.Due to missing the Premier League, Leeds, whose financial situation is poor, had to let go of many main players.In the next season, Leeds has been hovering in the relegation zone.

On May 2007, 5, Leeds United was put into financial custody and was subsequently deducted 4 league points.The White Roses were relegated to the third tier for the first time in history.

It can be said that it was because of the last play-off failure that Leeds United entered the darkest period in history.

The media has always been highly concerned about the promotion play-offs of the British Championship. In the TV program of Sky Sports, the program team specially invited the famous Red Devils Gary Neville and Carragher to comment on this.

I have to say that the program team was very creative in choosing the guests for this episode. Carragher has been defined as "fat blow" by many netizens because he explained the game with too many fat people.Neville has a natural hostility to Leeds United because of his Red Devils blood.

Before the show started, the tone of the needle-tip confrontation had been established, and Neville and Carragher really did not disappoint the director.

When talking about the match between Leeds and Middlesbrough, the two went straight to each other.

"Jamie, I don't know how personal you are with Steve. You've made no secret of your admiration for him on all occasions, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time. I don't think Leeds can get past Middlesbrough. This is off."

"Let's take a look at a set of data comparisons. In 46 games this season, Middlesbrough has scored 68 goals and conceded only 37 goals. This number of conceded goals is the least in the entire British Championship, which proves that It’s a very good defensive team.”

"Then let's look at their opponents - Leeds. They lost 46 of the 15 league rounds, the most among the top six teams. It seems that this young team is extremely unstable. Then watch Looking at the number of goals they scored, although 79 goals looked good."

"But let's look at how much they conceded, 63 goals. Yes, you heard that right, a full 63 goals conceded."

"It's hard to believe that a team like this is going to be in the play-offs. But that's it, poor defense will keep them from getting anywhere in the play-offs."

"Speaking of which, let's take a look at the comparison of the head coaches of the two sides. Karanka once assisted Mourinho to win the La Liga championship in the Galaxy Battleship. Created a team that is both offensive and defensive.”

"And what about Steve, he hadn't even had first-team coaching experience before this season. I still don't understand how he became Leeds manager."

"Gary, I have to cut you off. How many games have you seen Steve play?"

"Uh... I participated in every round of commentary."

"You didn't answer my question directly, Gary. How many times have you watched Steve's coaching performances in full?"

"Well, to be honest, not much."

"That's right, I have the most say in Steve's coaching performance. I have seen almost all the games he coached."

"I have to admit that I didn't pay much attention to the British Championship before, but we can check the data to know how was Leeds' ranking last season?"

"Only ranked No.15. Gary, don't rush to talk. Let me finish, everyone has seen that Leeds have bought a lot of people this season. But everyone don't forget that Leeds also sold before this season. Their go-to shooter."

"Leeds got a full £1100 million, so Leeds' net investment is even negative."

"Fatty, uh...sorry, excited. Steve got where he is without any input from the team, and I have to pay tribute to him."

"I've watched his tactical adjustments and on-the-spot command carefully on the spot. It's really an art. I can't remember how many times Leeds scored at the end of the game."

"And the three central defenders high pressing system he created is unique in the British Championship. I can't help but wonder how many coaches can do this?"

"Gary, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Let the game tell us the final answer."

"I believe in Steve, even though many people are not optimistic about him now. But I still believe that he can perform miracles."

This commentary program of Sky Sports was spread through the Internet and quickly fermented.

Many netizens paid more attention to the promotion play-offs of the British Championship, and many people who eat melons have a better understanding of Fatty.

It turned out that this fat man had done so many things quietly.

Fatty also saw this program. From the bottom of his heart, Fatty was grateful for what Carragher said for him. After all, it is hard to find a soulmate.

But Fatty also knows how much money he has in his belly. If he fights Kalanka on the field, the chances of winning are not great at present.

Gotta find a way to disturb Kalanka.

Anyway, the relationship with reporters and experts has been messed up recently, or I will give them some more information.

Fatty thought more and more right, and immediately notified the team's external liaison department that he was going to hold a temporary press conference at the Leeds Training Center.

Steve told the external liaison personnel to let the public know that there is big news in this press conference, and the more reporters who will come, the better.

After hearing these requests, the staff felt that their three views had collapsed.Confirmed with the fat man again and again, the fat man gave him a firm and affirmative "Yes!"

Since the last time Fatty opened fire in front of the media, he has become a new generation of "traffic" in the eyes of media people.

As soon as they heard the news, the reporters surrounded the scene of the temporary press conference with long guns and short cannons.

The fat man was taken aback when he walked into the press conference room, turned around and walked back to check the number of the conference room. "Good guy, so I didn't go wrong."

This impromptu performance caused the reporters to burst into laughter.

Fatty then slowly sat down on the rostrum. Since the press conference was held too hastily, there was no host at the scene.

Fatty could only speak by himself: "Before the press conference starts, I have to explain to everyone. I will not accept your questions at this press conference. I will leave after I have said what I want to say."

The audience quickly exploded, "Is this fat man teasing us?" The reporters were filled with righteous indignation.

"Be quiet first. If you miss what I'm going to say next because of the noise, I think you will regret it."

The fat man took out the cheat sheet he had prepared, "Kalanka's ability to become Mourinho's assistant in Real Madrid is just another political performance by Florentino."

This opening sentence made the audience quiet.

"As we all know, since Florentino took charge of Real Madrid for the second time, he has changed from a single Zidane Pavon model to playing a mixed card of 'superstar + local + young', and at the same time, Lafayette's plan to create 'Real Madrid Guardiola' is clear. Ruojie."

"Kalanka's ability to become Real Madrid's assistant coach is not because he is so good, it's just a political symbol. Before becoming Real Madrid's assistant coach, where was Aito (Kalanka)?"

"Please don't be too surprised, he is only an assistant coach of the Spanish u17 national team."

"After talking about the past, let's talk about the present. I have carefully studied the tapes of all the games since Karanka took charge of Middlesbrough, and I have to say that he is living on his laurels under Mourinho. No talent."

"The last thing I want to say is, Aitto (Kalanka), I have seen through all your tricks. You just wait to bow down to me after the game!"

"I'm done, the press conference will end here."

The reporters in the audience were stunned for three seconds, and when they came back to their senses, Steve had already walked away.

But the reporters were not too annoyed, because some of them were written on the front page tomorrow.
