Chapter 27 Another time!?

Leeds United was unexpectedly eliminated in the fourth round of the FA Cup, which made countless Leeds United fans feel regretful, but when more sober fans make a cry for gratitude, they will no longer blame the team.

The reason... is very simple!

Today's "Youth Guards" do not have the ability to fight on multiple lines. This season, they can barely form a lineup to maintain an unbeaten record in the league. They are already Simon Grayson, and they have reached the finals of the League Cup. They are too greedy to win the FA Cup!

Greedy is not enough to swallow an elephant!

This principle is still very simple. According to the schedule of the Premier League, the League Cup in the first half of the season and the FA Cup in the second half of the season are almost all obstacles to the team's energy and affecting the team's performance in the league.

If Leeds United has enough strength, it would be fine to take the League Cup and the FA Cup together. But Leeds United now does not have the confidence and it is already a lucky chance to lead the league standings. In the first half of the season, Murray was only on the verge of four weeks. If there were more wounded soldiers, let alone compete for the FA Cup, it would be a big deal to ensure the league's leading position.

Now Leeds United has bid farewell to the FA Cup and there is only one final in the League Cup. This allows the "Youth Guards" to go all out in the final stage of the league to compete for the championship. Compared with Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United still needs to continue to work hard in the knockout stage of the Champions League, and Chelsea still need to continue to strive for the UEFA Cup. Leeds United's prospects for winning the championship are really not small, but big!

As if to confirm the analysis of professionals and to satisfy the high expectations of fans, Leeds United began to scoop up the victory in the following February...

On February 7, he defeated Southampton 4:0 away!

On February 11, a 1:0 victory over Everton at home!

On February 18, Lexi Browns away 2:0!

On February 28, he narrowly defeated Arsenal 3:2 at home!

When the schedule ended in February, Leeds United had an unbeaten record of 73 points in the Premier League standings with 27 wins, 23 draws and 4 draws. They were as many as 10 points ahead of the second-ranked defending champion Arsenal!

With eleven rounds left in the league, the lead has expanded to double digits, which has greatly increased the hope of becoming the Premier League champion after ten years. The entire city of Leeds is looking forward to its team reaching the top again after ten years.

Last summer, Leeds United didn't dare to expect Shaq and Simon Grayson's return to the team any major changes. At that time, they just thought that their team was saved and hopeful. However, they had already seen the hope of becoming a champion again after half a year.

March is coming. Inspired by head coach Simon Grayson, Leeds United began to rush to the peak in one go...

On March 3, Leeds United defeated Southampton with a score of 2:0 in the League Cup final at Wembley Stadium, relying on Shaq's bracelet to beat Southampton with a score of 2:0, and won the League Cup trophy again after ten years!

Shaq also set a record for his own 13-goal League Cup with 23 goals. While allowing Leeds fans to taste the taste of the championship again, he also gave all Leeds fans a reassurance. As long as Leeds United has Shaq, they will almost never miss any important game.

This league cup is also the 24th championship trophy in Leeds United's history. They have won two league cups before, and this is the third league cup in the team's history. In addition, there are two Champions League trophys, two Europa League trophys, two Club World Cups, five Premier League trophys, four FA Cups, five Community Shield Cups, and four second-tier league championship trophys for recharge. There are 24 trophies of all sizes in the honor room of the "Youth Guards".

Next, Leeds United should start to launch its final impact on the 25th trophy in the team's history, the sixth Premier League championship trophy...

But God doesn't seem to want to see Leeds United go smoothly. He created miracles again when others are not optimistic this season, so he caused some trouble for them.

During training on March 5, Ashley Hood collided while competing with Du Xiaoguang for the header. As a result, Leeds' world-class low back needs to rest for three weeks due to patellar injury, while Du Xiaoguang needs to rest for two weeks due to ankle contusion.

Two boys who were too serious about training lived in the same ward to recuperate. They both smiled bitterly when they talked about the injury this time, thinking that this was definitely a matter of luck.

When Leeds United players came to visit Ashley Hood and Du Xiaoguang, they also felt that their team was lucky before, and it was normal for them to encounter some difficulties now.

But Simon Grayson, Harvey and the coaches of the coaching staff knew that Ashley Hood and Du Xiaoguang's injuries were actually not accidental, because according to the results of monitoring by the team doctor during training, most of the players in the team's team's bodies have officially entered a period of fatigue.

This means that the possibility of Leeds players being injured... has greatly increased!

In order to avoid further expansion of the injured barracks, Simon Grayson had to start a large-scale rotation in the team. Apart from the monsters like Shaq who are abnormal in physical condition and have never been injured in his career, there are only Chen Jinlong, Marsio and Kslov, who are in good physical condition, and the three people who are still in good condition, continue to be fixed in the starting lineup, and everyone else needs to rotate.

Fortunately, Leeds United is committed to winning the championship. Those who are rotated will not have any resentment, but will give some suggestions to their teammates who replace them. The players who are on the way also cherish this opportunity very much. They are already full of energy. In addition, after most of the season's training, these players' self-confidence has been bursting, so the team's record has not declined.

On March 10, Leeds United swept Fulham 8:1 away game, and Shaq scored five goals alone!

On March 16, Leeds United relied on the goals of Shaq, Knuwells and Kslov at home, defeating Manchester United 3-1 because they were preparing for the second leg of the first round of the Champions League knockout.

On March 23, Leeds United defeated Watford 7:1 away. Shaq's hat-trick, goals from Wither, Barackta, Hoydenk, Claysandy and others created an away massacre. However, Watford, who was slaughtered at home, had no temper. Now they are at the bottom of their points, and relegation this season is almost a foregone conclusion.

On March 31, Leeds United defeated Wolves 3:1 at home. Shaq's bracelet helped the "Youth Guards" complete the reversal after conceding a goal first. Belaqta, who came on the bench, locked the victory.

Originally, after the game, Leeds United led the second-ranked "Gunners" with 27 wins, 4 draws and 85 points with an unbeaten record of 31 games, which should be an exciting thing, but Simon Grayson still strongly condemned the Wolves after the game, because... Due to the wolves' roughness in this game, Leeds United injured three people in a row!

Young player Lance ended in 9 minutes, and Weather was replaced in 21 minutes. The most outrageous thing was that Clay Sandy, who replaced Lance, was also shattered by his opponent's calf in 88 minutes, and had to leave the field to get a stitch.

But throughout the game, Wolves tackled Lons and Claysandy's Australian right-back Joe Gouchi only received one yellow card!

"I don't know what the referee's penalty scale looks like in this game, but what I want to say is that the reason why the rules of football matches exist is not just to make the game continue. It is also to protect the players of both sides! But today I didn't see what I should have seen in this game, which made me very angry and angry! Well, today I don't want to accept any interviews, all three of my players are in the hospital!"

Simon Grayson ignored the Wolves head coach Lucian Farey, who was beside him, and got up and left, making the 67-year-old man look embarrassed. But he can't say anything...

The reason why Wolves are so desperate on the away game is that they have to fight desperately!

First of all, Wolves are currently ranked 16th, only 9 points away from Norwich City, the third-to-last team. They need to get a few more points to ensure that they will not be relegated.

Then there is...third-party bonuses!

"Madman" Mourinho seems to want to make his last move. Before the game, the gap between Arsenal and Leeds United reached 13 points, but with eight rounds left in the league, Arsenal may not have no chance to catch up. Leeds United will also have to compete with Liverpool, Chelsea and other teams in the back, so he let the club offer huge third-party bonuses... Any team that can defeat Leeds United will receive 1 million pounds provided by Arsenal, and a draw of 500,000 will be tied!

In this way, Leeds United became the target of public criticism!

Mourinho's reward is still in secret. Simon Grayson doesn't know about this, otherwise he will be even more angry. The "madman" approach is simply shameful. It is really the behavior of a nouveau riche. Although it is not illegal to do so, third-party bonuses are not uncommon, but this is definitely pushing the relationship between the two clubs towards the mortal enemy.

Simon Grayson was depressed by the further expansion of his team's injury barracks, and secretly thanked that although Ashley Hood, Du Xiaoguang, Weather, and Longs were injured, Clay Sandy had to rest for a few days because of the needle, but after all, Leeds United's leading advantage has expanded to 16 points. In the remaining seven games, only two games can be won to ensure that the team wins the championship. The league championship this season will not fall into the hands of others.

At this time, Mourinho was the most depressing person. His team gave up the competition with Manchester United in the FA Cup for the Champions League and the Premier League. Turning back his team was tied by Norwich City, the "Red Army" Liverpool, and West Ham United one after another. While his team lost points, their competitors were advancing. The gap between the two teams was widened to 16 points. The third-party bonus reward he issued now... seems to have become a joke!
