Good news, veteran fan Li Shiguang has been reborn and reincarnated as a rich second-generation.
Bad news, his father, who was Leeds United's largest shareholder, passed away right before...
"The aftereffects were already showing at the very beginning of the second half. Maicon is 99% responsible for PSV's goal! The corner kick was also caused by him being broken through. After the corner kick was taken, we could clearly see that Maicon's reaction was half a beat slower when Kone started his run in the penalty area, which led to the goal."
"Coach Wang, what adjustments do you think Leeds United should make to win?" Su Tao nodded.
He originally wanted to refute Wang Lu, but since Maicon really had to take the blame for that goal, he gave up and instead raised a new question.
Upon hearing Su Tao's question, Wang Lu, having regained his confidence, launched into a new round of analysis: "Leeds United's most pressing task now is to figure out how to secure this point. Their right flank has practically become a corridor for PSV Eindhoven. De Bruyne doesn't seem to like tracking back, and Maicon looks like he can't keep up with the pace. If Li Shiguang doesn't make any adjustments, with the players' stamina deteriorating, they might even be overtaken by PSV Eindhoven!"

While the PSV Eindhoven players were celebrating, Li Shiguang's mind was racing. Kone's goal disrupted his plans, and a draw was not enough for him, who had come all the way with Leeds United.
Seeing Mills about to get up, Li Shiguang steeled his heart and uttered two more names: "Harvey, Ferreira, you two go warm up too!"
After Leeds United restarted the game, Eddie Gray also seemed a bit worried: "Leeds United need to make adjustments as soon as possible. We saw Simeone already communicating with the assistant referee. Let's see how Leeds will hold onto this point."
As everyone guessed, after a dead ball situation, the assistant referee raised an LED sign on the sidelines, indicating that Leeds United were requesting a substitution.
Mills replaced Maicon, Javi Garcia replaced Modric, and Rivaldo replaced De Bruyne.
Seeing Rivaldo and the others enter the field, Su Tao felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only look at Wang Lu next to him and say, "Coach Wang, it seems you're right. Leeds United's three substitutions seem to be more inclined to hold onto this one point."
Wang Lu nodded slightly: "Yes, it seems that Li Shiguang has also noticed what I just mentioned. Not to mention the two defensive players Garcia and Mills, Rivaldo will probably be assigned to the left wing, and Ribery will be put back on the right wing, which is more his preferred position. This will also reduce the defensive pressure on Leeds United on the right wing."
Indeed, according to Wang Lu, Mills was a like-for-like substitution. Garcia's interception ability in midfield is stronger than Modric's. Although Rivaldo is old, there is less than half an hour left in the game, and the left flank is not the main direction of PSV's attack. This substitution method is indeed acceptable.
But after the players took their positions, those with an omniscient perspective discovered a problem.
Su Tao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"My God, Coach Wang, it seems Li Shiguang hasn't made the adjustments you just analyzed! Leeds United has switched to a 4-3-3 formation, and they're still going to attack!?"
