The angry shouts of Leeds United fans filled the entire Elland Road stadium.
In the ninth round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Leeds United away from home.
Speaking of which, after the establishment of the Premier League, it has been Manchester United's one-man show. This season is already the tenth season of the Premier League. In the past nine Premier League seasons, Manchester United has won a total of seven Premier League championships.
A complete one-man show.
Among them, there have been strong teams such as Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle, and Liverpool that have impacted Manchester United's status. However, no one has been able to last. No one has been able to shake Manchester United's status.
Only after Wenger came to Arsenal did Arsenal truly become Manchester United's opponent.
Not only did they defeat Manchester United to win the Premier League title in the first season, but they have also been competing with Manchester United for the past three years. Like in the Triple Crown season, Manchester United only surpassed Arsenal by one point.
In the past few years, some strong teams have emerged, and some have declined. But Wenger's Arsenal has always been Manchester United's competitor.
Of course, Manchester United's dominance has not changed.
During this process, two clubs also began to rise. They were both ambitious and wanted to do big things in English football. One was Ken Bates's Chelsea, and the other was Ridsdale's.
Leeds United.
A few years ago, both teams were working hard at the same time.
Start to become a huge force.
It has also become a strong team in the Premier League.
Unfortunately, a few years later, the fate of the two teams was completely different. Chelsea won five crowns in the season that just ended and is now competing in the Champions League. Leeds United, on the other hand, has started selling players due to financial crisis.
The situation is very different.
These are teams that have just begun to rise, and the difference in situation has already made Leeds United fans angry. This feeling of imbalance.
What makes Leeds United fans even more angry is that after Leeds United fell into financial crisis, it was Chelsea who took advantage of the situation to acquire Kewell.
That's why they hate Chelsea.
But they hate Cowell even more.
Kewell is different from Ferdinand. Ferdinand is a mercenary and has only been at Leeds United for half a year, so he is not considered a Leeds United man. But Kewell is different.
These are players trained by their own team.
A player who started training at the age of fifteen.
But when the team was in difficulty, he was the first to defect.
This is something they cannot tolerate.
So when Kewell came to the Elland Road stadium, nearly 40,000 Leeds United fans held up their pounds and kept waving them. Then they yelled that Kewell was a "bitch!".
This scene is spectacular.
The 35,000 Leeds United fans uniformly took out their pounds and kept waving them.
Cowell's face was expressionless.
No feelings for Leeds United? That’s false.
After all, he has been at Leeds United since he was fifteen years old. He has stayed at Leeds United for a full eight years. Even a stone can have feelings. This familiar Elland Road stadium is where Kewell became famous.
How could Cowell forget a place like this.
But Kewell has no regrets.
Looking at Leeds United's current results, they have dropped to ninth place in the Premier League. Kewell believes that even if he does not leave, others will leave.
Even if he stays at Leeds United, it is impossible to reverse Leeds United's current decline.
If so, what's the point of keeping it like this?
Cowell is already twenty-three years old.
He doesn't think he is still young. He has to leave Leeds United for the sake of honor and the championship.
…………
"Leeds United, the biggest problem now is that there is no cohesion. The team is broken up and it is difficult to lead the team."
After Su Yun looked at it for a while, he said to Clark next to him.
certainly.
I experienced such a big thing in summer.
Leeds United first sold Ferdinand and Kewell in the summer and used the money to temporarily tide over the difficulties. But Leeds United's problems have not been solved. High player wages and large loans from banks.
David O'Reilly and Ridsdale had many conflicts over the summer over the matter of selling players.
In the end, David O'Reilly and Ridsdale completely fell out.
David O'Reilly also left Leeds United.
David O'Reilly will be replaced by England's famous coach Terry Venables.
But the Leeds United players are different.
Most of them are young players from the Leeds United youth academy. Even the players bought from outside, most of them are very young. They were all promoted by David O'Reilly and played by David O'Leary.
The relationship with Leeds is very good. Although Terry Venables is a famous English coach who has served as the head coach of the England national team, it is also difficult to enter the turbulent Leeds United.
The players' minds are wandering.
Because Leeds United's problems have not been solved. Financial problems still exist. They don't know when Leeds United will continue to sell people. With Kewell and Ferdinand, they are all considering their own problems.
How can Leeds United be fighting like this?
"Well, Leeds United's strength has not dropped much. Although Ferdinand and Kewell are missing, their strength is still among the best in the Premier League."
Clark nodded.
Anyone can spot Leeds United's problems now.
Su Yun was a little conservative at first, but after just watching for a few minutes, Su Yun stood up.
Because Su Yun had already discovered it within a few minutes.
The current Leeds United are no longer worthy of being Chelsea's opponents. They simply cannot meet the standards of a strong team.
"Up! Up! Up!"
Su Yun made a forward gesture on the sidelines. Then he made a few simple gestures.
These are all gestures that are changes in normal training tactics.
After Williams saw Su Yun's gesture, he immediately changed his conservative strategy. Before, when he got the ball, he would try his best to control the ball. It was more tentative.
However, after seeing Su Yun's gesture, Chelsea's offense immediately changed.
The attack began to move forward.
Since putting Williams as the only defensive midfielder, Williams has been responsible for all Chelsea's offense and defense system. This time, Williams has the ball again.
"Williams... handed the ball to Kewell on the left. Kewell took the ball!"
Suddenly moving forward.
Williams had always been in control before, passing the ball in the midfield. This time, a long pass suddenly caught many people off guard, including the Leeds United players.
Kewell also stopped the ball beautifully.
After Kewell took the ball, the entire Elland Road stadium burst into boos.
"Bitch! Bitch!"
"Harry, bitch!"
Kewell felt uncomfortable listening to these insults. After all, just a few months ago, the fans here were still cheering for him. A few months ago, he was the most popular star at Elland Road.
Kewell let out a long sigh. He has been here for eight years. He thinks he has done everything he can. If there are no problems with Leeds United, of course he is willing to continue playing for Leeds United.
But Leeds United had a problem, and he was unwilling to bury him with him.
He is just a professional player.
Now he only has one idea.
He wants to win a championship for Chelsea and himself.
Defending Kewell is Danny Mills.
This was Su Yun's disciple when he was at Sunderland. Su Yun knew him well, and Kewell was his teammate, so of course he was more familiar with him.
"Kewell passed to Zola...Zola passed to Kewell again!"
Facing Mills, Kewell didn't go overboard, but cooperated with Zola next to him. It was a simple kicking the wall, but Kewell had already broken through Mills' defense.
Kewell is explosive and fast.
Bypassing Mills, Kewell went straight into the penalty area.
The curses from Leeds United fans did not scare Kewell. Instead, it made Kewell in a better state. He wanted to tell the Leeds United players that his choice was right.
Leeds United are no longer good.
It was right for me to choose Chelsea.
"Kewell, he has already broken through Mills...Kewell Radebe came to defend."
Last season, Radebe had almost no chance to play. Because there were two players, Ferdinand and Woodgate. With Ferdinand's departure this season, Radebe returned to the central defender position.
Radebe is thirty-two years old.
I have enough experience, but my explosive power has dropped a lot.
"Kewell, spike...shoot!"
Kewell's movements were very fast. Facing Radebe, he just made a simple fake and real dunk, and shot the goal with his left foot.
Radebe is really old.
The veteran captain of Leeds United is indeed getting older.
Kewell easily passed Radebe and then shot out.
"goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Kewell, who returned to Elland Road for the first time, opened the scoring. One to zero. Chelsea led Leeds United one to zero at Elland Road."
"Kewell, he scored a goal in his first game back for his old club."
After scoring, Kewell did not celebrate.
Although he left Leeds United when Leeds United was in its most difficult time, Kewell still has some feelings for Leeds United. Although it may make people feel hypocritical, that's how people are.
So in response to the celebrations of other Chelsea players, Kewell just gave them a light high-five.
No celebration was made.
It's a pity that Leeds United fans didn't appreciate it.
"Bitch!"
"Chelsea bastard!"
"Kill Chelsea bastard!"
"Die! Bitch!"
All kinds of abuses came like a storm.
Chelsea fans cheered loudly. Although there were only about 4,000 Chelsea fans following the team today, which was much less than the 35,000 or so Leeds United fans.
But the momentum is not small at all.
"Leeds United is rubbish, go bankrupt quickly!"
"Bankrupt! Bankrupt! Bankrupt!"
"Kewell, we welcome you! We at Chelsea welcome you!"
Chelsea targeted Xing and satirized the current situation at Leeds United, and then cheered for Kewell.
Su Yun clapped his hands gently on the sidelines.
"Leeds United is in decline. Their results this season are not good, and the economic crisis is unlikely to pass. They will continue to sell players next summer." The flying Leeds United are really in decline.
Without performance as a foundation, their economic situation will only get worse and worse. Then they won't be able to control it like they did this summer. Maybe they will have to sell off players.
yes.
Leeds United are really in decline.
Kewell's goal was just the beginning.
Duckett, who was also rumored to leave this summer, started this game. He formed a midfield with Morris, but was beaten to pieces by Williams and Lampard.
Leeds United simply couldn't defend Chelsea's attack.
Before the end of the first half, Panucci received Zola's free kick and scored the second goal of the game.
Leeds United fans are angry. They hope Leeds United players can cheer up.
But the Leeds United players are now listless.
There is no fighting spirit at all.
"I can no longer see any winning performance from the Leeds United players. Leeds United is no longer the Leeds United we are familiar with. We will never see the vibrant Leeds United back then."
Martin Taylor said with great regret.
Declined.
Chelsea made persistent efforts in the second half, Eto'o scored the third goal.
In the end, Chelsea defeated Leeds United 3-0 in an away game. Leeds United's ranking became 11th, having been left out of the top 10.
