Chapter 376
During the international match day, each team has to play two games in total.
In the first game, Leeds United lost four main players, which made Li Shiguang's face look unhappy these two days, and his forehead was wrinkled all the time.
The players in the team could also see that their head coach was in a bad mood, and they worked extra hard in training, but no one was so blind as to take the initiative to offend Li Shiguang.
Fortunately, after the second game, Li Shiguang did not hear Allen running to him to report the new injury, which eased his mood a little.
But good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
And the only highlight of the next round of the Premier League is the Arsenal VS Leeds United game.
The first in the league plays the second in the league.
Under such heat, before the players of Leeds United returned to the team, the news that several main players would be absent due to injuries spread in the media.
"...........In the just concluded European Cup qualifiers, Leeds United players Luka Modric and Philipp Lahm both suffered different types of injuries in the national team's games. At the same time, in the South American World Cup qualifiers, Leeds United's main striker Adriano also suffered an injury. It is expected that these three players will miss Arsenal's home game against Leeds United on November 25th."
"..............During this Premier League off-season, players from various clubs were called up to the national team to participate in the game. Among them, most of the main players of each giant club were called up, and Leeds United became the most among the giant clubs. What an unlucky family! Three of their absolute main players were injured in the national team's games, and they are basically certain to be unable to participate in the next round of away games against Arsenal, which will make this crucial game uncertain! "
"...........It is reported that Kaka, the assistant midfielder of Leeds United and the Brazilian national team, has returned to Thorp Arch on October 20th, and did not participate in the World Cup qualifier against Uruguay at home on the 22nd. Therefore, we suspect that Kaka may have physical problems after playing the first game against Peru, which is why Dunga let him go early!"

London Holland.
In the hotel room where Leeds United stayed.
Li Shiguang, Simeone, Rivaldo and Allen were sitting together.
Li Shiguang and Rivaldo were talking with their heads down, and Allen was staring at the laptop on his lap, his fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.
"Boss, look at this."
As the voice of speaking came, Simeone, who was looking at his phone next to him, handed his newly bought iPhone to Li Shiguang.
After receiving the first generation iPhone, Li Shiguang looked down and saw the news about Kaka's injury on the mobile web page.
After scanning the web page, Li Shiguang frowned and handed the phone back to Simeone, saying helplessly: "Where did these people hear the news? We ourselves did not think Kaka was injured, we just let him rest for a while, how come it became distorted when it was spread outside!"
Simeone looked down at the news headline and couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, it's the paparazzi from The Sun again. Let's not talk about whether their news is true or not, but they do have many sources of information... Let's not talk about anything else. I just looked at our official Twitter account, and the comments below are all asking whether our Kaka is injured."
"Alan, you go and deal with it." Li Shiguang smiled bitterly, handed the response to Alan, and pointed to the small whiteboard on the coffee table, "How do you think about the problem just mentioned? How to deal with Fabregas, do you have any other ideas?"
"It's difficult." Rivaldo stared at the whiteboard with a frown.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Rivaldo had not responded and Li Shiguang had not received it, Simeone was the first to get anxious: "What's so difficult about it? Tell me! If you ask me, it's no different from last season. At that time, Yaya could keep a close eye on him, and now Javier can do it too!"
"It's different." Rivaldo shook his head and turned his gaze to Li Shiguang.
Li Shiguang was also happy to see that his two assistants could have some arguments on professional issues, so he just smiled and signaled Rivaldo to continue with his eyes.
After getting Li Shiguang's approval, Rivaldo took the pen in his hand and drew a circle on the number representing Fabregas: "Under Wenger's hands, this Spanish kid has made rapid progress! In the past half month, I have spent a lot of time watching his games this season. To be honest, whether it is footwork, passing vision, shooting speed, overall view, ability to control the rhythm of the game, or the tacit understanding between teammates, it is comparable to last season.Compared with the previous two, he has made great progress! It is no exaggeration to say that except for the physical confrontation ability, he already has the potential to be a world-class attacking midfielder in other aspects. "
"So what?" Simeone did not quite understand what Rivaldo wanted to express, "Are you suggesting that the boss buy him to Leeds United?"
"Go to hell!" Li Shiguang could not help but laughed and scolded, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Ferreira means that with only Javier, it is estimated that he cannot be defended!"
"Then what about Xavi? If it doesn't work, we can play 4-4-2, and two midfielders can just keep an eye on him!"
Seeing Simeone said to let Mascherano and Alonso play at the same time, Rivaldo tapped on both sides of the whiteboard with a pen: "Do you think the other Arsenal players are just eating and not working? Rosicky, Hleb, or Eboue and Clichy, who often turn into wingbacks in the attack, will pose a great threat to our two sides. Our defensive midfielder must take into account the defense of the flanks. "
After listening to Rivaldo, Simeone spread his hands, his face full of speechlessness: "Then according to what you said, let's not play, anyway, we can't defend it. "
"In fact, there was a very good solution before. Wenger likes to play 5-4-1 formation this season! His offensive focus is actually on the flanks. Although the premise of two wingbacks has greatly increased Arsenal's changes on the flanks, it will also make their rib defense more empty. "Rivaldo drew two arrows on the whiteboard with a pen, "If Kaka can play, using his speed, we can actually do a lot of work on their flanks. In this game, Wenger will definitely let Fabregas retreat several times to help defend more. In this way, his threat in the attack will be greatly reduced. "
Rivaldo's words touched Li Shiguang's heart.
Before learning that Kaka had a problem with his groin, he had always wanted to use Kaka as a breakthrough point in the match against Arsenal.
But now, whether to let Kaka play or not.
This question made Li Shiguang tangled...
