Jon looked at Lineker with a puzzled expression: "Oh? Why do you say that? Portsmouth is in good form this season, and they're ranked quite high in the standings."

Lineker chuckled twice before seriously analyzing, "As you know, I'm a fan of Lee's. After Leeds United announced the signing of four new players, I specifically looked up some information. Alves and Sneijder are already well-known to fans; Hummels was bought directly from Bayern's youth academy by Lee, so I didn't find many videos of him playing, only that he was a key player in Bayern's U19 defense; but I can confirm that Reus is something special. He became a starter in the 2. Bundesliga at 16, and his on-field statistics are quite impressive. Honestly, sometimes I really want to crack open Lee's brain to see where he found these young talents!"

As Lineker said, Li Shiguang is indeed more focused on the match against Chelsea next week, so he made a lot of rotations today.

Of course, since it was related to whether he could complete his mission, Schmeichel was still placed in the starting lineup by Li Shiguang.

Moreover, Lineker's judgment was very accurate. After the start of the match, Leeds United's players still showed good tactical awareness, especially the new signings, who, after a dozen minutes of adaptation, unleashed their fangs in the Premier League for the first time.

In the 19th minute, Hummels suddenly pressed forward in front of the penalty area, successfully dispossessing the Portsmouth player. Without hesitation, he quickly passed the ball to Mascherano, who was waiting nearby. Mascherano received the ball, turned, and dribbled forward, but knowing that organizing attacks was not his forte, he passed the ball to Sneijder after a few steps.

Although Sneijder had been away from the team for half a year, he still vividly remembered Li Shiguang's emphasis on fast counter-attacking tactics. After receiving the ball, he glanced up to observe the situation on the field, and then unhesitatingly struck the ball with the outside of his foot. The ball flew towards the wing with a strong spin, showcasing Sneijder's exquisite footwork and excellent vision.

The pass was brilliant; Sneijder opted for a half-high ball, sending it soaring over the head of the Portsmouth left-back who was jumping to head it out of bounds, before plummeting downwards. The ball had barely touched the ground when Camoranesi, already at peak speed, easily received it and charged towards the Portsmouth penalty area.

However, Portsmouth's defenders did not give up easily. Seeing his teammate misjudge the header, center-back Campbell immediately rushed forward, attempting to stop Camoranesi, who was dribbling the ball, outside the penalty area.

But Camoranesi didn't give him that chance. He had just brought the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area when he deftly flicked it with his right foot, and the ball slipped through the gap between the onrushing Campbell and another center-back, heading straight for the far post of the Portsmouth goal.

Torres had already positioned himself there!

Seeing Camoranesi cross the ball, goalkeeper Aston rushed towards the far post of his own goal. However, to his surprise, Torres, who received the pass, did not choose to shoot. Instead, he gently pushed the ball to the right side of the goal with his left foot.

Reus, who had already rushed to the goal, never expected Torres to be so generous. Instead of shooting at such close range, he turned around and passed the ball to his younger brother, whom he had only known for a few days.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he instinctively stretched out his foot and gently blocked the ball, which bounced and bounced as Reus deflected it into the empty net!

"Beautiful! Leeds United's formulaic counter-attack!" Lineker clapped his hands loudly as he watched Reus celebrate his goal surrounded by his teammates. "Three of the four new signings were involved in this goal. From Hummels' interception to Sneijder's brilliant pass, and finally Reus's shot, the whole process was seamless. No wonder Mourinho praised this opponent; Lee has only taken two or three days to mold the new signings and veteran players into a cohesive unit!"

However, Leeds United's performance was not over yet. Just five minutes later, Alves showed off his speed for the first time in front of the English fans.

Portsmouth's shot was saved by Schmeichel and went out for a corner. But just as the corner entered the penalty area, Schmeichel punched it out of the box, and it landed right at Rivaldo's feet.

Compared to the current Sneijder, the Brazilian veteran clearly possesses more refined footwork and game reading ability. He didn't even look up to observe; he merely glanced at the wing out of the corner of his eye before sending a long ball back behind Portsmouth's defense.

The two Brazilians seemed to have a telepathic connection.

Rivaldo took a shot, and Alves began to accelerate.

Before Rivaldo's pass had even crossed the halfway line, Alves had already sprinted across the halfway line.

When the speed reached its peak, the ball bounced and landed right in front of Alves. He didn't need to slow down at all; he simply used his foot to push the ball forward and continued running at high speed.

Seeing that he had no defenders to help him, Aston made a decisive move and rushed out of the penalty area. Even if it meant committing a foul, he wanted to stop Alves' advance from outside the penalty area.

But Alves did not grant him his wish.

Seeing Aston getting closer and closer, Alves simply flicked the ball to the left, then rushed past Aston on the right and easily sent the ball into the empty net.

"Gooooooooool! A long run from Alves!" Lineker slapped the table excitedly. "I'm so impressed with Lee's eye for talent. Jon, can you imagine that a few players who have only been with Leeds United for less than a week could score the first two goals of today's game?"

Jon shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a slightly helpless expression, "It's quite surprising. It looks like Leeds United won this game without much effort."

It's not that I don't want to see Leeds United score, it's just that Li Shiguang's luck is too good. In Jon's memory, Li Shiguang seems to win the jackpot every time he draws a lottery; he's never seen him buy a player who doesn't adapt well to the Premier League...

Watching Li Shiguang celebrating with Alves on TV, a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to Jon.

With Leeds United's squad gradually becoming complete.

Could it be that they can really create a miracle this season under Li Shiguang's leadership?
