Chapter 102: Can’t fall!

After convening an emergency coaching team meeting, Simon Grayson discussed the team's plans and goals for the winter transfer.

Although the team's physical fitness is declining, according to the test results of Alan Sutton, the team's physical fitness is not completely irreversible. The physical fitness of several young players in the team is still quite ideal. Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, Clegg Dawson, Pifkowski, Red, Snoldgrass, Oddy and others is still OK.

The most perverted one is the brat "Shake", who is like a stubborn fight. Everyone else has more or less missed the League Cup and the Europa League and other unimportant games. Only this kid has played all the games of Leeds United, but his physical condition is still not a problem. Even Simon Grayson doubts that this kid is still a human.

At this time, Simon Grayson couldn't help but feel grateful that the team had these young players. Otherwise, although his coaching style was not very strict, he would not allow the "swordsman group" that had recently revealed their whereabouts in almost all the places in Leeds.

After careful discussion and consideration, the coaching staff decided to keep the big and small. The final ranking of the league is related to whether the team can play European games next season, and also to the club's fiscal revenue. This is naturally the foundation for the team to gain a foothold. The Europa League is a rich event that improves the team's fame and cannot be completely given up. As for the FA Cup and the League Cup, just do whatever you want. Whether you win or lose, it doesn't matter anyway. The team won a FA Cup last season and is not very interested now.

Therefore, Leeds United's winter recruitment direction is still supplementing the team's current weak links, and it is necessary to increase investment when introducing young players. And there is no need to force those experienced players.

Simon Grayson's first choice of signing target is still the Croatian "prodigy" of Newcastle's "magpies" Simes Fursarico. This young right-back is about to be 21 years old, but he has played 3 games for the Croatian national team and scored 1 goal. Previously, he played 6 goals for the Croatian national youth team in 16 games, which can be said to be a right back with excellent attack power. If he can get him, the attack power of the "Youth Guards" on the right will immediately be higher. Bentley's passing skills and Pyrs' breakthrough ability will provide more support to the Leeds United's forward line.

In fact, there are people in Leeds United who keep in touch with the agent of the Mets. Such an outstanding young star is naturally unwilling to be in the current "magpies". Newcastle has never done anything big after returning to the Premier League. He is basically a mid- and lower-level team. He can't stand the top six, but he has no strength to compete for the top six. He is just a state of just being scrambled to die.

When contacting Leeds United, Messi Fursarico's agent did not hide his players' favorability for the "Youth Guards". A group of Leeds United teams that use young players to form the main framework, a new player who dared to boldly launch a new player, and also trained the "Three Leeds Musketeers". He even used the nineteen-year-old "Shaq" as the team's tactical core to build the team's head coach, which is irresistible to young players.

You have feelings and I have intentions. This transfer seems to be easy to achieve. The only problem is Newcastle's existence, as if a mountain division is divided between Leeds United and Plum Fersarico.

But that was what happened when Ken Bates was the chairman in the past. The current "Young Guards" is Bielhoff, who is in charge of the company. The 30 million pounds of transfer funds he has given is definitely enough for Simon Grayson to buy people. When Simon transferred to Newcastle, the transfer fee was only 3.1 million pounds. Even if he becomes a talent, it will never be outrageous.

Simon Grayson's idea was good, but when he asked Newcastle about the price of the plum, he was defeated by Alan Shearer, who came out for the second time. This guy who was dubbed "Chinese" by his teammates because he smiled like an Oriental man, was so unscrupulous. He actually offered a high price of 15 million pounds to Plum Fersarico!

Five times!

It is almost five times the value of the Croatian when he transferred to Newcastle. Such a offer is almost a blow to Leeds United's confidence in introducing the Plums.

But although Alan Hiller's coaching level is average, his prestige in "Magpie" is really unmatched. As long as he insists on not selling Plums, it will be useless if anyone comes, and even the boss of Newcastle can do nothing.

However, when Simon Grayson was angry about this, Alan Shearer then expressed his praise and praise for the Plums through a local media in Newcastle: "The Plums are a great guy. He has the potential to become a world-class right-back. After coming to Newcastle, the boy's progress is very obvious. In the first season, the Plums played 34 games for us, scored 4 goals and 1 assist, with an average of 3.55 steals per game and 1.98 passes. This season, he devoted more energy to defense. He averaged 5 steals per game.

.68 times, this is already a very amazing improvement. And although the Pycs have fewer passes, he has three assists, which is three times more than the entire season last year! This means that he is better at the right back position. While completing his job as a defensive, he can also make his assists more threatening and effective! I heard that some teams are very interested in him recently, but I hope he can consider staying here because the most important thing for players of his age is not a high salary or something, but constantly participating in the game."

Of course, Alan Shearer's words were not just for Simon Grayson to listen to. In fact, he was also on the highway Plum Fersarico. Transfers are not necessarily a good thing for him. He must first ensure his main position so that he can become stronger and stronger.

Of course, Alan Hiller also made Simon Grayson understand what value and potential the players he was going to buy had. In his opinion, although 15 million was a huge price, it might not be very outrageous. The age of Plum is, and he might have to buy two 15 million in the future!

Simon Grayson was entangled with Newcastle for Max Fursarico. Leeds United started the FA Cup again. This time they drew their arch-rival Chelsea in the third round. Simon Grayson had to take the risk of sending all their main players up again.

Fortunately, the "Youth Guards" were fighting at home this time. They did not disappoint Leeds United fans at Elland Road Stadium. With two goals from Tevez, they defeated the "Blues" again with a score of 2:0.

But Simon Grayson really couldn't laugh this time. The "Blues" just changed coach Benitez, and Espanyol still has a very weak control over this team, so it is reasonable for Leeds United to win.

What's more, the physical crisis Alan Sutton said really broke out. Ameobi's thigh muscle was strained during the game. According to Alan Sutton's examination, Ameobi's purple-black strip, which was 20 cm long and 4 cm wide, would have to let the "Black Big Man" rest for at least one month.

Ameobi was injured, and Simon Grayson could find others to take over. Snodgrass and Bechio could deal with it. After all, Leeds United's main scorer is still the "Beast" Tevez, but what should I do if anyone else is injured?

After this game, the reporters who disliked Leeds United found the topic again. They magnified and expanded Leeds United's "physical crisis" without bottom line. They even exclaimed that the first half of the season's battle has caused the players of the "Youth Guards" to be physically overdrawn. What is waiting for this team will be... collapse!

What even paniced Leeds United fans was that just four days later, Leeds United fell to the defending champion with a score of 3:4 at the Etihad Stadium. Even the process of this game was not as thrilling as the score. The "Blue Moon" who played at home led 2:0 in the first half with Dzeko's two goals. In the second half, Leeds United was led by Zach Thompson, Snold Grass and Tevez three times to only one goal behind, but in the end it failed to block Aguero and Yaya Toure with goals to lead the "Blue Moon" to victory.

After playing this game, Simon Grayson felt an anxious mood and began to surround his team. Except for Zach Thompson, the others were obviously much smaller during the game. Everyone seemed to be a little afraid of being injured. Even he was a little anxious and directly made a offer to Newcastle in the transfer market. At the beginning, he responded to Alan Hiller's offer of 6.5 million pounds. This was equivalent to the twice as much as Simes Fursarico's worth a year ago. After Alan Hiller brought this offer back, Simon Grayson originally planned to cool the other party, but this time he was anxious and directly added the offer to 10 million pounds. The "Youth Guards" are really a little unbearable now.

In addition, Simon Grayson also began to look for players who were in the midfield and frontcourt. After Ameobi was injured, although Leeds United had Snodgrass and Bechio, and there was also young player Pifkovsky waiting for the opportunity, how could these people make Simon Grayson trust? The tactical role of the "black big guy" on Leeds United is very obvious. Perhaps Swedish big guy Pifkovsky can replace him in the future, but no one can replace Ameobi now.

Three days later, on January 12, Leeds United played again at Goodison Park Stadium. The last time the team had to retain their strength to play the UEFA Cup qualifiers because they failed to complete the running-in, so they lost to Everton 1:2 at the home court, Elland Road Stadium. This time they tried their best to avenge. However, facing Everton, who ranked only ninth, Simon Grayson almost let Moyes play.

The Scots used defensive counterattack tactics to drive Leeds United, who is good at attacking, to be crazy. If it weren't for the critical moment of the 80-minute game, captain Jonny Hausen dribbled into the penalty area and created a penalty kick. "Beast" Tevez hit a kick, Leeds United would most likely follow the last game losing to Manchester City, bringing the team's morale to a deeper trough.

But even so, anyone with a discerning eye can still see through the current details of Leeds United at first glance. This is the end of the strength!

Simon Grayson led the team back to Leeds from Liverpool, his face was tense, and the serious air shrouded the entire "Youth Guards".

Eric Black looked at Simon Grayson, who was clenched with his fists without saying a word. He seemed to have seen a man who gritted his teeth and did not want to give in. Compared with the "Youth Guards" who were glorious in the first half of the season, Leeds United can't fall down now!

Otherwise... that would be a disaster! (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
