Chapter 28: Undefeated Miracle! Leeds United still encountered a little trouble in the 32nd round of the Premier League. They were tied 2:2 by Bristol City in the away game, and their lead over Arsenal in the standings was reduced to 14 points. However, everyone is clear that with six rounds left in the league, the "Gunners" will no longer have the opportunity to catch up with Leeds United. This is just a delay in Leeds United becoming the top league in England for the sixth time in history. It¡¯s just the championship¡¯s time. This is indeed the case. After Arsenal defeated Zenit 2:0 away from home in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, they were defeated 1:1 at home by Aston Villa in the 33rd round of the Premier League. It was a draw. "Young Guards" took this opportunity to beat Norwich City 4:1 at home! After the 33rd round of the English Premier League, the champion was finally born. Leeds United miraculously won the Premier League in the 2023~2024 season with an unbeaten record of 33 games, 28 wins, 5 draws, scored 112 goals, conceded 23 goals, and accumulated 89 points. League Championship. Before the start of the season, no one believed that Leeds United could win the league championship. Even if the team was led by "Cruel Simon" and had the world's number one star Shaq again, it had gone through a summer sale and a major change of players. After that, the overall strength of the "Young Guards" declined too seriously. In addition, not all of these new and old players were familiar with the "Solar System Tactics". Even Leeds United fans themselves did not believe in the football. The team has a chance to compete for the championship. In fact, even Simon Grayson believes that his team has no chance to compete for the championship this season. If he wants to launch an impact on the championship, he needs to wait until two or three seasons later, when the team's tactics and play style are formed and the personnel are equipped. You will have a chance after you are in place. There must be a big premise for this. It means that Leeds United's financial operation is normal, otherwise the team will have to sell the stars it has trained to ensure the normal operation of the club. What is surprising is that, as if affected by the club's bankruptcy and reorganization, Jonny Howson, Ashley Hood and other left-behind veterans not only took the initiative to cut their salaries to reduce financial pressure on the club, but they also Because I desperately want to bring good results to the team. This season all the old players ushered in a collective explosion! Leeds captain Jonny Howson played 31 times in the league, scoring 13 goals and assisting 13 times. Although his passing success rate of 80% is not very high, it is not low. Taken together, the old captain¡¯s The performance is good enough. Ashley Hood played 30 times for the team, scoring 1 goal and assisting 7 times, but these are obviously not his real value, averaging 5.3 steals per game. This is the embodiment of Ashley Hood's value as a defensive midfielder. Ben Parker, Murray, Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlonggong, Koslov, Diaz, Weiser, Berakta and others also performed well, and even Hoydonk and Marr who joined during the winter break. Theo and Cressandi also performed very well. The biggest gain for Leeds United this season is naturally the 17-year-old youngster Alex Lens. After getting familiar with Shaq's personal characteristics, this skinny little guy scored 5 goals in 30 league games this season. With 30 assists and an average of 6.53 dribbles per game, his breakthrough ability is amazing. Everyone understands that this little guy's future will be limitless! Of course, the most important fulcrum of the "Young Guards" is Shaq. Shaq scored 65 goals and assisted 9 times in 33 league games. Anyone facing his performance would be in awe, without Shaq's stable and high scoring efficiency. Leeds United may have been broken by their opponents long ago. And "undefeated" is a vital motivation for the young Leeds United team. These young people just want to maintain the team's unbeaten record and have always gritted their teeth and persisted to win one victory after another. Defeated one strong opponent after another, and under the leadership of the head coach, we have reached this day and had the last laugh. That night. All bars in the city of Leeds are open all night, and drinks are sold at cost. Everyone is celebrating another league championship after ten years. Moreover, Leeds United¡¯s gains this season are really not small, considering that the gold content of the league is not very high. cup. They are still considered "double champions"! On the night of the championship, club chairman Glenn Oxley threw a grand celebration party without hesitation, and following Shaq's instructions, he doubled the championship bonus and expressed the club's ambitions in public. "People say it is a miracle that we can win the league championship this season, but I think it is not a miracle. When we win the Champions League trophy next season and even win multiple championships, that will be a miracle!" Glenn? Oxley's words made all the players full of hope for the future of the club. Only a team with ambitions and the ability to achieve this great goal will give the players a goal to chase. Glenn OaksLeigh's speech is not without purpose. Leeds United is not short of money now. There is no upper limit on the transfer budget for Simon Grayson next season. As long as the head coach wants a player, he can pay for it. Leeds United's combat effectiveness will surely improve again. However, Simon Grayson is not the kind of person who spends money carelessly. Every penny spent on Leeds United now belongs to his disciple Shaq. This season, he is based on the principle of saving when he can. What's more, the big search he planned has been implemented. There are already as many as 12 young talents in the youth team waiting for his call. These talented players from all over England are basically aimed at "Cruel Simon" He has a reputation for being good at training young players. Some of them were originally young players from other clubs, but after being called by Simon Grayson, they came here resolutely. "Cruel Simon" is now a more magical mentor to young players than the "Professor" was before! There are newcomers waiting. Simon Grayson naturally wants to raise a butcher knife against those who are not very obedient in the current first team. However, there is someone who has become a "double winner" at Leeds United and will play in the Champions League next season. He wanted to leave in a hurry, but this manSimon Grayson didn't want him to leave. German international defender Tobias Lang, who was not taken seriously by Simon Grayson this season, took the initiative to find Simon Grayson. He said very sincerely: "Boss, I feel that there is no place for me in the team. . These teammates are very good, but the opportunities I have been able to get are too few. Now that the team has won the League Cup and the league championship, I feel well, it is time for me to leave. "For Toby. Simon Grayson was still prepared for Yas Lang's departure. But he was still a little bit reluctant to let go of this professional German player. When the German was not taken seriously in the team, he just waited quietly. When he was needed to appear, he would play conscientiously and endured until the team won the championship. The overall situation has been decided, and then the transfer request was made. Such a player a good player! "Tobias, have you thought clearly? We will play in the Champions League next season, and I don't intend to give up the league, the FA Cup. Even the League Cup! You know, I am a champion who is full of desire. Man! We have a lot of games to play, do you really want to leave?" Tobias Lang smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin: "Boss, there are Du and We in our team. Marcio, Koslov, Chen, and Clegg, do you think I have a chance to become the main player? Do you think the team still needs me? "Looking at Tobias Lang's handsome face. With a helpless smile, Simon Grayson sighed inwardly. He is the team's head coach and naturally knows his team well. Leeds United's defense is indeed overcrowded at the moment, not to mention the first team including Ben Parker, Chris Farley, Chen Jinlong, Kerslov, Marcio, Du Xiaoguang, Richardson, Miguel Others, there are also young talented players in the reserve team, so I have to admit that Tobias Lang's choice to leave was quite the right choice! "Oh okay!" Simon Grayson sighed and extended his right hand to Tobias Lang: "Tobias. Thank you for your contribution to Leeds! In return, I will not turn around again." The membership fee makes things difficult for those teams that are interested in you!" Tobias Lang nodded silently, stretched out his right hand to shake it with Simon Grayson The Germans are not short of potential buyers, Tobias is only 24 years old this year. Bias Lang left Stuttgart and came to Leeds when he was 17 years old, and gradually became the team's main player here. In the past seven years, only this year has been his most disappointing year. But facing the competition from Du Xiaoguang, Koslov, Marcio and others, he knew that it was impossible for him to stand out in the center back position, and the right With Chen Jinlong at the guard position, it was a bit difficult for him to compete with that guy with excellent skills and extremely fast speed. After thinking about it, the only way for him was to leave. And the most important thing is, Tobias Lang is a little homesick! As soon as the news of Tobias Lang's transfer spread, three teams immediately came to inquire, including Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen from the Bundesliga, and Wallen from La Liga. West Asia. Simon Grayson really didn¡¯t mean to embarrass the German. After directly telling him the names of the three teams, the German chose Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen, which team he would eventually go to. It depends on the outcome of the negotiation. Fortunately, the sincerity of these two teams is really enough. Based on Tobias Lang¡¯s worth, they both offered a transfer fee of 6.5 million pounds. Simon Grayson He nodded in agreement directly, and left the rest to Tobias Lang himself. Leeds United¡¯s last five league games are irrelevant.Grayson even handed over the command of these five games to Harvey. The Spaniard has been following him for several years, and it is time for him to practice his skills. Harvey understands what Simon Grayson means. The next five games are not only for him to practice, but also for the young players to accumulate some game experience, so he uses young players to play as much as possible. , Leeds United¡¯s main players also had a rare opportunity to rest. However, Shaq still had to play four of these five games. When Leeds United tied West Ham United 2:2 at home, his substitute Campbell scored a goal but was disappointed after the game. He was admitted to the disabled camp because of a muscle strain in his left leg. With Shaq on the court, Leeds United's winning rate is naturally terrifying. They defeated Liverpool 2:1 away, Aston Villa 3:0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur 3:0 away, and then 2 at home. :0 defeated Chelsea to end the entire season. In the end, Leeds United won the championship this season with an unbeaten record of 38 games, 32 wins, 6 draws and 102 points. "Cruel Simon" once again wrote the miracle of his undefeated championship. (To be continued)
