Chapter 67: The Premier League team strikes

"Leeds United wins the English Champions League 8 rounds ahead of schedule!"

"Supermarkets in England are about to open! Bamford is worth 20 million pounds, Phillips is worth 10 million pounds! The prices are clearly marked!"

"The strongest newly promoted team in the history of the Premier League is coming! Are you ready?"

"China Yang is a phenomenal player on the court, and his popularity off the court is also phenomenal. What a magical player!"

"Liverpool has quoted China Yang three times! 15 million! Is Klopp crazy or is the top management of Liverpool crazy?"

"Chelsea officially announced their withdrawal, they will no longer make bids for Yang!"

That night, the English media reported on the championship-winning Leeds United.

Especially the scene where the fans said goodbye to Mo Yang shocked countless people.

After returning to the club to attend the celebration banquet, Mo Yang and Pere, who never drank alcohol, returned home.

As soon as he entered the room, Mo Yang quickly called up the system.

"Ding!"

"The Championship season is complete!"

"(Non-repeatable) Season Task 1: Successfully win the English Champions League Championship, reward skill points +3"

Mo Yang was a little surprised that he only completed one, but what about the others?

He should also be the assist king. He currently has 28 assists, fifteen ahead of second-placed Moutinho.

Mo Yang thought for a moment and felt that the task was not completed because the season was not over yet.

Having won the league, Bielsa then turned his attention to the FA Cup. For him who lacks honors, every trophy is crucial.

In the sixth round of the FA Cup, Bielsa went on stage to draw lots. When he saw the name of his opponent, he immediately burst into laughter on the stage.

"Haha! It's a team from our own league again!"

"Merciful God, thank you for your help!"

"I declare we are in the FA Cup semi-finals!"

"..."

Recently, Leeds United fans have been very active online.

They felt that they couldn't be too happy. Not only did they win the championship promotion they had dreamed of for many years, they were also very lucky!



"The game is over! Leeds United advanced to the semi-finals with a difficult score of 2-1!"

"It's a pity for Reading in this game. Their performance was perfect, but it's a pity that they faced Leeds United, who have China Yang!"

"Leeds United, this young championship team, now has far exceeded the level of the English Championship in terms of the overall strength of the team and the technical and tactical level of coach Bielsa! I am very much looking forward to their performance next season.

Premier League performance!" laughed Andy Gray.

In fact, this game was not easy for Mo Yang. It could even be said that it was a bit difficult and full of dangers.

Although they are old rivals, Reading is not Huddersfield.

Although Reading has started high and started low this season and is currently ranked 15th in the league, the team's strength lies there.

It is impossible for them to compete for promotion places this season, and relegation is no problem.

Therefore, on the premise of ensuring that they do not fall into the relegation zone, they will strive for the FA Cup championship, the only honor they can hope to win.

After the FA Cup, Leeds United continue with the rest of the league.

However, Bielsa has already reached an agreement with Mo Yang. In the next 8 rounds of the league, Mo Yang may play very little time.

Mo Yang had no objection. He was very willing to do something for this elder and the team who had cared for him so much over the past year before leaving.

So in the next few league rounds, Mo Yang was put on the bench in almost every game, but he had five minutes of playing time in every game.

But even if he didn't play, Mo Yang still received frequent attention from the on-site director.

Whenever the camera turned to Mo Yang, the fans at the scene would collectively cheer and give warm applause, which made Bamford and others on the field feel very sad.

But there is no way, who makes this kid so lovable!

After five league rounds, Leeds United had a record of three wins and two draws, and set a new record of 28 consecutive unbeaten rounds. They also broke the record of 27 wins in the 1970-1971 season.

On April 24, 2016, Leeds United drew the mid-range Premier League team Crystal Palace in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Bielsa still smiled, because compared with Everton and Manchester United, they were once again favored by the goddess of luck.

And if they can reach the final, they will most likely face their archrival Manchester United.

It would be an extremely wonderful thing to step on the corpse of old enemy Manchester United and announce to the entire Premier League that Leeds United are back.

Although the idea is beautiful, Bielsa did not dare to be careless in the game against Crystal Palace.

The Crystal Palace team was founded in 1905 and had been in the lower leagues in its early years. It was not until 1969 that it was promoted to the top league at the time, English League One.

Crystal Palace's fortunes have waxed and waned ever since, with the team bouncing up and down the top flight and second divisions over the past four decades.

Therefore, many fans who are familiar with the history of Crystal Palace jokingly call it the "elevator" team.

Bielsa is familiar with the performance of Crystal Palace in recent years. Since returning to the Premier League in the 2013-2014 season, the performance in the past two years can be considered very good.

Ranked eleventh in the Premier League in the 13-14 season and tenth in the Premier League in the 14-15 season.

Bielsa has watched a lot of Crystal Palace game videos in the past few days, and he found that although this Premier League team's playing style is relatively conservative, the overall performance of the ball is very stable, with good performance on both offense and defense.

But Crystal Palace's weakness is also very obvious, and that is their midfield.

In Bielsa's eyes, Crystal Palace's two small midfielders are completely unqualified.

It's just a failure, and sometimes it even causes trouble for its own team, causing problems on both offense and defense for Crystal Palace.

Bielsa made a comprehensive comparison between them and Crystal Palace and felt that winning should not be a big problem.

But when the game started, Bielsa realized how wrong he was.

Bielsa missed one thing, that is, his group of squealing brats had never experienced playing against a Premier League team.

At the end of the entire first half, Leeds United only had 3 shots.

At other times, most of the players were locked in hand-to-hand combat with Crystal Palace players, still at a disadvantage.

After Mo Yang finished the first half of the game and returned to the locker room, he was still a little dazed!

He couldn't remember how many times he fell down in the first half.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Premier League is the first of the five major leagues.

Even a mid-table team like Crystal Palace in the Premier League made him feel a lot of pressure.

Especially the pace of the game is not at the same level as the English Championship.

Mo Yang could feel that Crystal Palace's players were very fast in both offense and defense, and the English Championship teams simply couldn't compare.

There is also the player’s personal ability.

Because of their strong ability, they are very accurate and very clean when they steal. Even if they sometimes fall to the ground and lose the ball in brutal confrontations, the referee does not even think that this level of collision is considered a foul.

But what impressed Mo Yang the most was the forward from Crystal Palace named Zaha.

His speed is probably on the same level as Traore of the Wolves, and his physical fitness is also very good. His passing skills are the best that Mo Yang has encountered so far. The most important thing is that this guy will not break through without thinking.

In the first half, their two lines of defense in the midfield and backfield were almost all passed by the Ivorian, and Mo Yang was no exception.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Leeds United took the lead in conceding the ball. Crystal Palace took advantage of the gap between their two wingers, and the forward directly pulled up and hit behind.

Zaha showed off his power and passed Cooper and Koch. In the end, even Silvestri was not spared and broke the deadlock with a push into the empty net.

In the 81st minute, Mo Yang recovered. He seized the opportunity when the Crystal Palace defense was disrupted by Bamford, Harrison, and Costa. He sent a through arc and assisted Aylin to score a long shot and equalize the score.

I thought this game would be dragged into overtime with a score of 1-1, but in the stoppage time of the second half, Crystal Palace midfielder McArthur made a contribution.

93 minutes of added time.

When Crystal Palace launched a massive attack, they faced Leeds United's pressing and had no choice but to pass the ball behind them. As a result, the guy didn't know what he was thinking and missed the ball.

Bamford was nearby. He ran over and made a powerful shot, past the goalkeeper and shooting into the empty net, killing the game.

This game seems to be a roller coaster ride for Leeds United fans.

Because the whole game was very intense and thrilling, I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I won the game in this way.

"Liverpool's offer of 15 million pounds? The Chinese seem to be unable to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League! This game against Crystal Palace is the best evidence!"

"China Yang was immersed in physical confrontation throughout the game, completely lacking the magical performance he had in the English Championship. Is this another shooting star?!"

"Yang needs time! He is only 18 years old! He needs time to adapt to the Premier League game!"

The day after the game, the media gave mixed reviews.

But people who understand are too lazy to speak up. In Mo Yang's match against Crystal Palace yesterday, although it was not as amazing as the British Championship, you can tell whether his performance was good or bad by looking at the high score he got.

For example, Klopp didn't care about the ridicule from the media and didn't even bother to respond to interviews.

He watched the game on TV yesterday, and Mo Yang's performance was as good as ever.

Especially in terms of controlling the rhythm of the game, I am becoming more and more skilled.
