The moment Gao Shen saw Pogba score, he jumped up from his seat, clapped hard and cheered loudly.
"Well done, Paul!"
At this moment, he was completely forgetful and felt like he was standing on the sidelines of the court, directing the game.
But he is by no means alone!
Because around him, Carlo, Buenaventura, Pintus, and even many West Ham United fans all shouted out in crazy surprise, all shocked by the sudden goal.
.
No one thought that before the end of the first half, someone could actually make such a wonderful attack.
And it’s also a personal performance!
In the stadium, Sarri was completely out of control and kept cheering. The fourth official stopped him and told him to go back quickly.
Allardyce couldn't help but applaud the goal.
This is really a performance of a player's personal ability.
The key is that he comes from an 18-year-old player, Paul Pogba!
"Remember this name, all fans, remember this 18-year-old youngster. He is the core of Leeds United's midfielder, French midfielder Paul Pogba, who was hand-picked by Gao Shen!"
The Leeds United players rushed forward to celebrate excitedly. Even Schneiderlin, who had just scolded Pogba, was so excited that he got carried away and hugged Pogba on the sidelines.
"I take back what I just said, Gao!" Buenaventura smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After the excitement, I thought about the goal just now. I have to say that it was really wonderful and can be called a work of art.
More importantly, it's really, really important.
"It turns out that he can really do it!" Buenaventura was convinced.
Because he just heard what Gao Shen was saying.
Carlo also nodded helplessly, "I was wrong too, that's why I can only be your assistant, and the reason why you can become the world's top coach is that you are all a group of gamblers!"
The last sentence is obviously complaining that I am not brave enough.
Gao Shen burst out laughing, not caring about this at all.
He saw hope and opportunity.
More importantly, he really feels that Leeds United is in good hands this season.
When such a group of talented young people come together, what amazing strength can they unleash?
This is something Gao Shen himself could not imagine.
"The second half, the second half is all about the performance of these young people!" Gao Shen said with a laugh.
…
But it turns out that Gao Shen's guess was wrong.
Inspired by Pogba's goals, this group of young people burst into amazing strength.
After West Ham United kicked off, they actually overpowered the Hammers and quickly snatched the ball away.
Kurzawa on the left used his speed to forcefully tear open a line of defense on the left. When Benteke had suppressed the opponent's central defender, he did not choose to go to the Belgian center, but passed the ball low.
Arrived in front of the door.
Paulinho, who came forward quickly at some point, actually made a tackle from behind and shoveled the ball into the West Ham United goal.
Two to one!
Reversed!
Crazy! Really crazy!
Gao Shen was completely surprised in the stands.
He really didn't expect that the team not only equalized the score, but also reversed it in stoppage time.
This is simply a slap in his face!
But for Gao Shen, the more slaps in the face, the better!
"I didn't expect that these guys really..." Carlo was also speechless and shook his head with a smile.
This was really subversive to him.
"After this game, the overall strength of this team can reach a higher level." Buenaventura judged.
Although Leeds United won the previous games, they were not very convincing.
But now, being able to do this with West Ham United in a real away game, no matter whether the final result is a win or a loss, Leeds United will get the best result.
That’s what this team and this group of players have become!
Of course, given the current situation, unless Sarri behaves like a monster during halftime, it will not be easy to lose.
…
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Leeds United still went all out and launched a fierce attack towards West Ham United.
The White Rose changed from their weak performance in the first half and actually suppressed West Ham United at home. They took advantage of the situation and forced the Hammers to switch to defense.
But even so, the goal was still scored by Leeds United.
In the 59th minute, Leeds United's Kurzawa and Adam Lallana on the left played a wall-to-wall cooperation on the wing. Kurzava ran in and Adam Lallana made a pass from the left.
Go find Benteke.
The Belgian center was flanked by two West Ham United centre-backs and was unable to face the goal, but he still stopped the ball and knocked it back to Kurzawa on the left rib.
The French left back fired a direct shot and once again broke into West Ham United's goal.
Three to one!
After that, Leeds United did not give up when things got better, but continued to launch a fierce attack on West Ham United.
Allardyce used up three substitutions early.
During the halftime break, a central defender replaced the defensive midfielder, and when the ball was lost again, forward Baldock replaced the defensive midfielder O'Neill.
Finally, he replaced Charlton Cole with forward Nicky Maynard.
It's all about strengthening the offense.
Sarri substituted two players in a row at the 70-minute mark to strengthen the attack.
Salah and Incardi appeared at the same time.
By the way, just before this game, under the operation of FA Chairman Bernstein, the players in the Leeds United team successfully applied for labor certificates through legal procedures.
This is also Salah's first appearance for Leeds United.
After consecutive substitutions, although the team's offense has been strengthened, the midfield and defense have become loose.
In the 77th minute, West Ham United broke through Leeds United's goal through an attack, rewriting the score to 2-3.
This also allowed West Ham United to see an opportunity and launch a wave of attacks.
But just seven minutes after the Hammers scored, Leeds United launched a counterattack.
Pogba made a long pass from the backcourt and accurately passed the ball to the front.
Benteke succeeded in countering offside, and after receiving the ball, he sent a kick from behind, allowing Incardi to score a single goal and expand the score again.
Four to two!
This score was maintained until the end.
4 to 2, Leeds United reversed West Ham United away from home!
…
After watching the whole game, Gao Shen, Carlo and others couldn't calm down for a long time.
They all have a strong feeling that this game will become an important turning point for Leeds United this season.
The most important thing is that some of the tactical joints that originally troubled this team have now been cleared up.
For example, Paulinho, Pogba, and full-backs from the left and right stepped in to attack.
One thing that Schneiderlin adapts to well is that when both full-backs come in to attack, he still stays at the end, often retreating between the two central defenders.
In many teams, or in other words, in most teams, this style of play is too deep.
In fact, in Gao Shen's memory, Schneiderlin later joined Manchester United. One of the things that was criticized a lot was that he always retreated too deep, and his attacking attacks were prone to mistakes.
This is because he has experienced two head coaches in Southampton, Pochettino and Koeman, and has adapted to this style of play.
And now, at Leeds United, he is doing quite well in this regard.
Gao Shen was extremely satisfied with the team's performance. After leaving the stadium, he did not go to the players' locker room. Instead, he waited until the players left and returned to the hotel before quietly coming to the hotel to meet the players.
Although everyone knows that Leeds United has a close relationship with Gao Shen, they were still surprised when they saw Gao Shen, especially players like Salah.
To them, Gao Shen is a legendary figure.
Even Pogba and Benteke, who had met Gao Shen before, were still surprised.
"I must admit now that before tonight, I made a very serious mistake, that is, I underestimated your strength. Although I thought I was very optimistic about you, the final results showed that I underestimated.
"
All the Leeds United players laughed.
Obviously, they feel extremely honored and proud to receive high praise, whether they are the owners of the team or the number one head coach in the world.
"To be honest, I made mistakes again and again during the game. Your performance made me feel that I am really not a qualified head coach because you are always subverting my understanding. It's great!" Gao Shen said in the end.
Laughed.
The players also felt the appreciation from Gao Shen, Carlo and others.
This also made them all feel extremely proud.
"I want to say that the fans of Leeds United and I are very proud of you. I believe that as long as you maintain the morale and hard work tonight, you will conquer the Championship this season, and next season, I
We should be able to see you in the Premier League!"
There is no better or more powerful compliment than this.
All the players applauded.
They all want to play in the Premier League!
…
After praising the players, Gao Shen met with Sarri again and was satisfied with his formation and command in this game. He also mentioned a few technical details to him, but overall, Sarri
It's still very satisfying.
The team's playing style is also very lovable, which is rare.
Due to his sensitive identity and the fact that he was leading the team away from home, Gao Shen did not stay in the hotel for too long.
But on their way back to the Manchester City hotel quietly, Carlo and others were still discussing the game and this group of players.
This group of young players from Leeds United left a very deep impression on people today.
Especially Pogba.
That goal can be said to have sounded the clarion call for Leeds United's counterattack.
This 18-year-old youngster is still relatively immature, but as long as he continues to grow and focuses on training, I believe he will become the core combat force of Leeds United's midfield.
And everyone has a better understanding of the profound vision.
Because from the beginning to the end, Gao Shen is the person who supports and affirms Pogba the most.
Even when everyone thought that no one at Leeds United could stand up, they still believed in Pogba.
This point really makes everyone around him admire him with admiration.
