Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The game was a big success, but the situation was not good.

"To be honest, it's hard for Leeds United to turn the tables in this game. From the head coach to the players, this team still seems a little immature. In the last game, perhaps it was because Mourinho underestimated the opponent that they seized the opportunity. But in these 45 minutes, they were beaten back to their original form by Ferguson's Manchester United!" As a senior fan of Manchester United, Wang Lu began to analyze the current situation after the referee blew the whistle to end the half. In his opinion, Leeds United should have been powerless to turn the tide in this game.

When the players left the field, the cameras on the scene also gave some close-up shots of the players on both sides.

In the camera, the Manchester United players were all smiling, chatting with each other and walking towards the player channel with a relaxed look.

On the other hand, everyone in Leeds United was in low morale, frowning and walking off the field quickly.

In the studio in Leeds, Ere Geddy looked at the gloomy faces of the Leeds United players and said with a little frustration: "Although Li did not adjust the lineup after 0:2, fortunately the boys adjusted the game status in time and did not lose the ball in the first half. Now it depends on what kind of adjustments Li will make during the halftime break. In any case, even if the final result of this game is a loss, I hope our boys will not give up in the second half, even if it is just to score a goal!"

·····

The Leeds United players who returned to the locker room one after another are now sitting in their seats. Almost everyone is bowing their heads and not saying a word. The only sound in the locker room is the "rustling" sound of the whiteboard pen in Li Shiguang's hand.

Two minutes later, Li Shiguang, who had returned to the locker room first, finished drawing his tactical arrangements for the second half on the whiteboard and turned to look at the players in front of him.

The only player who was still looking up at him was the captain Milner.

The other players were like a group of children who had made mistakes and dared not say anything. They all lowered their heads and seemed to be silently bearing the punishment and criticism from Li Shiguang. Ribery, who caused the team to lose two goals due to his personal mistakes in the first half of the game, was the most obvious. He was seen sitting alone in the last row of the team, his feet kept shaking back and forth, and he looked particularly uneasy. Obviously, in Ribery's view, if nothing unexpected happened, he might not be able to appear in the second half of the game... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of loss and self-blame.

After working together for such a long time, Milner knew his boss and head coach. Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, Milner's originally nervous heart immediately relaxed. He knew that the young head coach in front of him should have found a way to solve the dilemma!

"Pa~pa~pa~pa." Li Shiguang broke the silence in the locker room with applause, and then said in a tone that was not too harsh: "Look up, boys, especially you, Frank, don't be like a defeated rooster, cheer up, you still have 45 minutes to make up for the mistakes in the first half!"

As Li Shiguang's voice echoed in the locker room, everyone looked up at Li Shiguang standing in front of the whiteboard.

Ribery opened his mouth slightly and looked at Li Shiguang with incredible eyes. He was ready to rest, but his young head coach had never thought of replacing him.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Li Shiguang first gave Ribery an affirmative look, and then said: "Boys, it is undeniable that this was a bad first half. We did not play what we trained before the game. You are responsible for this, and of course, I am also responsible."

"However, fortunately, we still have 45 minutes to make changes and improvements, isn't it? Although it seems quite challenging to take a victory away from Old Trafford in today's game, I still expect everyone to show tenacious fighting spirit, can you do it?"

"My request is very simple. Focus on the remaining 45 minutes, do a good job of defense and try to score goals. I don't want to be shaved at Old Trafford, hahahaha."

After easing the atmosphere a little, Li Shiguang began to make some adjustments to the lineup and tactics in the second half.

·····

"Fans, welcome back to the live broadcast room. The second half of Manchester United vs. Leeds United is about to begin."

"We saw that Leeds United coach Li Shiguang adjusted the lineup for the second half during the halftime break, replacing Vardy on the striker line and Silva on the defender line. They were replaced by young players Gareth Bale and Lahm. Judging from the players' positions, Leeds United should play a 4-2-3-1 formation that they are more familiar with in the second half. Bale and Lahm occupy the left and right full-back positions, Ribery and Milner seem to be in a more forward position, and Falcao is at the forefront as a single striker. Unexpectedly, Li Shiguang did not replace Ribery, who was in poor form today. Coach Wang, what do you think about Leeds United's substitutions during the halftime break?" After introducing the changes in Leeds United's lineup, Su Tao asked Wang Lu next to him.

Hearing Su Tao's question, a trace of doubt flashed across Wang Lu's face: "In fact, during the halftime break, I also thought that Leeds United should strengthen their offense in the second half when they were two goals behind, but now it seems that the situation is completely the opposite. Leeds United not only withdrew a striker, but also replaced the two players who played as full-backs. And the most important point is that they did not replace Ribery who was in poor form, but instead pushed him to the position of left midfielder. It is undeniable that he has strong offensive ability, but judging from the situation in the first half, his condition today may not be able to break through O'Shea's defense!"

"Fuck, Leeds United didn't give up, what kind of substitution is this? Why did they fall behind and put on defenders???"

"Hahahaha, Leeds United's head coach should have bought it."

"No, did Ribery give the head coach some medicine? Not only did he not change him in the first half, but he was still allowed to play in the second half?"

"Rubbish!!! I should have known not to buy the reverse goal, damn!!!!"

"There are two gamblers upstairs, identified!"

"Uh~~~, I'm new here, to be honest, Leeds United's head coach is quite handsome!"

Li Shiguang couldn't hear the discussion from Chinese TV stations.

But Li Shiguang knew Ribery's status better than anyone else. After giving the players a boost in the locker room, he saw the determination to make up for his mistakes on Ribery's face. After seeing that Ribery's status bar did not change much on the system, Li Shiguang decided to send him to the field. After Bale came on the field, Ribery's defensive tasks would be greatly reduced, so that he would have enough energy to attack O'Shea's defense line.

And the task that Li Shiguang gave to Bale and Lahm was also very simple, that is, to use their own speed, stick close to Ronaldo and Giggs, and never kick without 100% certainty, just push them to the bottom line. As long as they are not broken through, the cross ball is still easy for his two tall defenders to handle.

While thinking, the referee's whistle came from the field.

The second half of the game.

Officially started!
