Chapter 260
Lineker and Jon were chatting casually.
Time soon came to 3:30 pm, and there were 30 minutes left before the game that would decide the Premier League champion would kick off.
Received a notification from the director in the headset.
Lineker and Jon looked at the TV screen, and the advertisement that was just playing had ended.
The grass of Elland Road Stadium was empty. After the warm-up, the two teams had returned to the locker room.
In contrast, the stands of Elland Road Stadium had become a sea of white, and the cheers of the fans were coming from the TV!
"Okay! The game is about to start. We have obtained the starting lineups of both sides. Next, let's see what preparations the two head coaches have made for this game!" Lineker cleared his throat and officially entered today's working hours.
"First is Leeds United at home! Lee arranged a 4-2-3-1 lineup today! The starting goalkeeper is Schmeichel, and the defenders from left to right are Lahm, Cannavaro, Kompany and Alves. In the midfield, the double defensive midfielders are still the old partners Modric and Alonso. In the position of central midfielder, Ya Toure started today, Ribery and Bale were separated on both sides. At the forefront, it is Ibrahimovic!"
"Then let's take a look at the starting lineup of Sheffield United playing away! Warnock still used today It was his usual 4-1-3-2 formation. The starting goalkeeper was Paddy Kenny. The four defenders were Kilgallon, Jagielka, Chris Morgan and Derek Geary! In the midfield, Quinn and Tonge were on the left and right, Keith Gillespie was in the middle, and Montgomery was behind. The two forwards at the front were Stead and Nader! "
"Okay, Jon, what do you think of the starting lineups of both teams?" After introducing the starting lineup, Lineker immediately handed the conversation to Jon and entered the fixed procedure before each game.
"Uh..." Jon scratched his head, looking a little speechless, "As a professional commentator, I shouldn't have any stance. But I really don't know what I can say about the starting lineups of both teams. The gap is a bit too big."
"Oh?" Lineker was a little surprised, "Are you so confident in Leeds United?"
"If the opponent is Chelsea or Manchester United, or even Arsenal, I can analyze it with you!" Jon waved the paper with the starting list of the two teams in his hand, "But with such a big gap in paper strength, how can you let me analyze it? I can only say that I hope Sheffield United is determined enough to avoid relegation, then maybe a miracle will happen in this game."
"That's the truth... But Leeds United... Their determination to win the championship is also firm enough."
"Then there's nothing I can do, I can only say that Sheffield United is not very lucky..."

"Okay, brothers, stop your little tricks and look at me!" In the home team's locker room, Li Shiguang walked in in a hurry, closed the door, clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
Hearing the voice, all the Leeds United players put down their meaningful or meaningless things one after another and turned to look at Li Shiguang who was standing in the center of the locker room.
"Boys! There is no doubt that today's game will be the most important game of our year, no doubt about it! Because this game will determine whether we or Manchester United will win the Premier League championship trophy this season." Li Shiguang began his pre-match speech that he had not made for a long time. "There are a lot of voices and speculations about the result of today's game. I believe you have seen it in the past few days. But it doesn't matter! For us, winning this game and stepping on Manchester United to ascend to the throne of the Premier League is the most important thing we have to do today!"
Li Shiguang's tone gradually became serious.
"To be honest, before entering the locker room, I was only a little worried. I was afraid that you would underestimate the enemy! After all, our opponent is now only ranked fourth from the bottom in the standings. From the perspective of various paper strengths such as value, fame, etc., they are far weaker than us. But! I hope you don't forget that they will fight hard today! Because once they lose the game, they will be relegated! I hope that after stepping onto the court later, you can remember this firmly and go all out to fight this battle!"
"Since 1992, Leeds United has been away from the championship trophy for 15 years! A full 15 years!" As he spoke, Li Shiguang walked to the door of the locker room and opened the door a crack.
As soon as the door was opened, the cheers from outside came in like a tsunami.After looking back at the players, Li Shiguang closed the door again and walked back to the center of the locker room. His serious eyes swept over every Leeds United player, and his voice suddenly rose!
"Did you hear that?"
"At this moment, there are nearly 60,000 fans sitting outside this door, and 99% of them are looking forward to us keeping the championship trophy that has been away from Elland Road for 15 years."
"At this moment, the championship trophy is placed at the exit of the player's tunnel, quietly waiting for us to hold it up! Of course, if we can't beat the opponent after 90 minutes, then this trophy will most likely be gone from us. At the same time, we will also disappoint nearly 60,000 fans on the scene."
At this point, Li Shiguang paused for a moment, and after seeing some fluctuations on the players' faces, he lowered his voice and asked the players: "Are you willing?"
"No!" Kompany was the first to answer, and his teammates also shouted.
"Okay!" Hearing the players' answers, Li Shiguang stood in place and stretched his right hand palm down in front of himself.
Seeing Li Shiguang's action, Simeone took the lead and put his right hand on the back of Li Shiguang's hand.
Next, every Leeds United player came over and made the same move.
When Rivaldo finally put his palm up.
Li Shiguang glanced at the Leeds United players around him, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "For Leeds United!"
The next second.
Everyone raised their hands up.
The cheers of the fans that could be faintly heard in the locker room were suppressed by the roar of a group of passionate young people!
"For Leeds United!!!"
