The broken pieces were scattered all over the office, and Bates had smashed everything he could get his hands on. He never expected that the goalkeeper he bought for 15 million euros would make two such stupid mistakes in the first game after the transfer. He spent a lot of money, but the long-awaited victory of West Brom did not come. After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, he quickly stood up and wanted to leave the stands under the gloating eyes of a group of shareholders, but he was blocked by angry fans before he took a few steps. English football hooligans are notorious all over the world. In just 20 to 30 meters, Bates heard the most vicious curse he had ever heard in his life.

If his assistant hadn't been there to stop him, he even suspected that he would have been kicked twice.

But the hemp rope is broken at the thinnest point.

West Bromwich Albion will have another game on Saturday night, and they will face the powerful Manchester United away.

Before the game, Blackwell found Bates and wanted Howard to be a substitute in Saturday's game.

But Bates thought about it for a long time and finally didn't agree. He thought that one game could not explain anything. Maybe Howard just came to West Bromwich Albion and was a little nervous in the first game, which led to his poor performance.

The most important thing is that he was unwilling to accept that he had spent a full 15 million euros to introduce a player. If he was made a substitute after just one game, it would undoubtedly declare that his transfer was a complete failure.

But Howard disappointed him again.

Manchester United players are too familiar with Howard. Scholes and Ronaldo will shoot from outside the penalty area whenever they have a chance. Facing their powerful volleys, Howard, who was already in an unstable state due to the loss in the previous game, was completely broken. In the first half alone, Van Nistelrooy seized two opportunities to score because of his missed shots.

In the end, West Bromwich Albion was slaughtered 4:0 by Manchester United away.

It is worth mentioning that, except for an own goal, the other three goals were caused by Howard's "butter hands".

When Manchester United Rooney scored the fourth goal, Bates finally couldn't help smashing the TV in the office, and then cursed Howard and Li Shiguang crazily.

Although it is not clear why Howard's performance has become so unbearable in a short period of time.

But there is one thing he can confirm, this time, he was pitted by Li Shiguang.

········

And Li Shiguang, now sitting at the desk, writing and drawing on paper, he is making final tactical preparations for tomorrow's game.

He has many tactics in his mind that have been improved and developed by famous coaches in later generations.

But now, the traditional 4-4-2 formation is still the mainstream in football.

Moreover, in the English leagues at all levels, which emphasize physical confrontation and speed, and the referees are relatively lenient in their penalties.

The 4-4-2 formation, which emphasizes attacking from both wings and then passing the ball from the bottom, and the center forward grabs the first point in the penalty area and then makes a pass or directly shoots the goal, is very popular.

For example, Manchester United now.

Under Ferguson's training, Giggs and Ronaldo, two wingers, one on the left and one on the right, hit the opponent's full-backs hard in every game.

As the fulcrum in the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy will shoot when he has the opportunity. If there is no chance to shoot, he will choose to fight for the ball and then pass the ball to Rooney or Scholes who are cruising near the penalty area to complete the shot.

From the time he decided to become the head coach of Leeds United, Li Shiguang has begun to plan what style he wants to build his team into.

Later, through training and system panels, after the first training session, he finally decided to build Leeds United into a heavy metal team like Dortmund and Liverpool under Klopp.

In Klopp's tactics, high-intensity running and rapid transitions are emphasized.

So he often manages the team.

On the offensive end, when the opponent's ball is still at the feet of the defender, the players will directly press the formation forward, and use the high-position pressure mode to force the opponent to make mistakes. After the team gets the ball, they can immediately counterattack on the spot.

Once the opponent advances to their own half, they will use high-intensity running to form a situation of multiple grabs in a short period of time to pressure the opponent to make mistakes. Once the steal is successful, they will immediately change from defense to offense and score goals through a quick counterattack.

So Klopp's tactics are not

But it is practical, and it looks better and more passionate than the tactics of several other famous coaches on the field.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Shiguang felt that this was the most suitable tactic for the current Leeds United.

After all, Leeds United is now full of young players. Although they may be slightly inexperienced, they are perfectly adapted to the concept of "heavy metal football", except for Sneijder.

After training these days, he has discovered that Sneijder's physical strength is indeed his weakness. Other attributes have increased rapidly, but there is really no progress in physical strength.

But it doesn't matter. He has just arranged the starting lineup for tomorrow.

In the English Championship where 4-4-2 is popular, the formation he plans to use tomorrow is 4-2-3-1.

The single arrow on the striker line is undoubtedly Adebayo. Previously, Leeds United's main striker Viduka was passed by Li Shiguang, because in his tactical arrangement, the striker also has to participate in the defense, which will consume a lot of physical strength, so Viduka, who is almost 30 years old, was taken down by Li Shiguang without hesitation.

Hiding behind him in the middle is Tevez, with McLean and Caldwell on the left and right.

In fact, a kid came to Leeds United yesterday, the famous Gareth Bale.

Li Shiguang recruited him from Southampton a few days ago, but Bale was only 15 years old at the time. Li Shiguang has not yet planned to let him play. He will practice more.

The two defensive midfielders are Sneijder and James Milner.

In the past few days of training, Li Shiguang has determined that Sneijder will be the core of Leeds United. Li Shiguang wants him to connect the entire Leeds United's offense through his broad vision and accurate passing ability. Basically, 80% of the offense will be initiated by him.

Milner will become an engineer and be responsible for most of the defensive tasks.

On the defensive line, the two central defenders are Chienelli and Kompany, the future iron gates of world football, and the two full-backs have not changed, still McKenna and Mills.

The goalkeeper is Schmeichel.

Looking at the white paper filled with handwriting in his hand, Li Shiguang stretched himself lazily, left the study room with satisfaction and walked towards the bedroom.

After a while, a middle school student shouted from the bedroom: "Tremble, English champion!"
