With the official announcement of Tevez's transfer, Leeds United have completed all personnel changes during this transfer window.
In the following period, the entire Leeds United team, under the leadership of Li Shiguang, carried out their final preparations before the start of the new season.
During this period, Li Shiguang personally led the team in training every day, and with the support of Li Shiguang's master-level coaching skills, the players' stats have improved significantly.
After training ended today, Li Shiguang opened the system and took a look.
When the team assembled previously, only Deisler had an overall rating of A+ in the system, and he was even downgraded to D- due to illness.
However, after this period of training, apart from Mills, whose talent rating is only B+ and is still at B-, all the other players have at least a B+ rating.
Seeing the improvement in everyone's attribute panels, Li Shiguang breathed a sigh of relief. Based on everyone's current level, Leeds United should have no problem establishing themselves in the Premier League next season, and as the season progresses, everyone's attribute panels should continue to rise.
On August 7, as the appetizer of the new season, the Community Shield kicked off at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, with last season's Premier League champions Chelsea facing off against FA Cup winners Arsenal.
Ultimately, Chelsea, under Mourinho's leadership and thanks to Drogba's outstanding performance, defeated Arsenal 2-1 to win the Community Shield. This was also Mourinho's first victory against Wenger since arriving in the Premier League.
However, in the post-match interview, "The Special One" Mourinho and "The Professor" Wenger engaged in a heated exchange.
Mourinho said that the Community Shield is a championship no matter what, and winning is always better than losing, at least Chelsea can go home with a smile.
But Wenger had already criticized Chelsea for using time-wasting tactics in the final moments of the match.
In addition, just last month, Ashley Cole met privately with Mourinho without the club's or Wenger's consent, which greatly angered Wenger. Coupled with today's loss, Wenger responded sarcastically after hearing Mourinho's comments, saying that Arsenal has already won the Community Shield four times, and no one in the team considers the Community Shield a championship. At most, it is just a training exercise before the start of the season, and only Mourinho, who has never won the Community Shield, would value this championship.
The two head coaches were locked in a fierce battle of wits, and the reporters were thoroughly enjoying the interview. Just when everyone thought that today's topic would definitely revolve around the two main characters...
A reporter asked a question that had nothing to do with today's match: "Mr. Mourinho, the new Premier League season starts next week. What are your thoughts on your first match? How much do you know about this brand-new Leeds United team? And what is your assessment of their manager, Lee Shih-shih?"
When Wenger bought Adebayor before, he suffered a slight loss at Li Shiguang's hands, so his impression of Li Shiguang changed from an "interesting young man" to a "cunning young man" after that incident.
Having witnessed Li Shiguang's business acumen before, and now about to face him directly on the field, Mourinho is quite curious to see how he will evaluate Li Shiguang.
So when he heard this question, Wenger, who was still answering questions, immediately stopped talking, and a slight smile appeared on his face, which had been tense since the end of the match.
He watched Mourinho with a calm and collected expression, wanting to hear how he would answer the question.
When Wenger suddenly stopped speaking, the reporters in front of him immediately swarmed over and held up their microphones in front of Mourinho.
The Portuguese man in front of me is a notorious madman. Chelsea is the newly crowned Premier League champion. In the months since winning the title, Mourinho has been riding high in front of the media, and he speaks with almost no restraint.
Everyone wants to hear how Mourinho will evaluate his first opponent of the new season; who knows, it might even make headlines!
Seeing that everyone was drawn to the question, Mourinho first spread his hands in his signature gesture, then pursed his lips, and began in the standard template of the "Special One": "Actually, I don't know much about either the previous Leeds United or the current Leeds United. After all, Chelsea played in the Premier League last season, why should I study a Championship opponent? And their manager, Lee what? Sorry, I only just learned his name myself... As for how to view the game itself, without a doubt, Chelsea will be the winner. As a newly promoted team, Leeds United needs to learn and adapt to the Premier League right now."
Mourinho's words immediately made it big news for the reporters, and tomorrow's front page headlines were already popping into everyone's minds.
While Wenger, who was standing nearby, was even more disgusted with Mourinho's arrogant remarks, he also secretly admitted that Li Shiguang's young Leeds United team would not be able to gain any advantage against the in-form and powerful Chelsea.
While Mourinho and Wenger were being interviewed.
Li Shiguang finished his day's work and, accompanied by Allen, went to the club's reception room.
I had previously agreed to do an interview with the Yorkshire Post, and the time was scheduled for after get off work today. I had just changed into my suit in the office when Allen knocked on the door and came in to report that the Yorkshire Post reporter was already waiting in the meeting room.
Upon entering the conference room, one reporter and two photographers had already set up their equipment, waiting for Li Shiguang's arrival.
The reporter who interviewed him was an old acquaintance, the same reporter who asked Li Shiguang a question at his first press conference after becoming head coach, but he still didn't know the reporter's name.
After sitting down and being introduced, Li Shiguang learned that the handsome young man opposite him, who was half a head taller than him, was named Brian Lind.
Li Shiguang took a sip of water, signaling that the interview could begin. Lin De then asked the first question of the day: "Li, it's a pleasure to have this interview with you today. The first question is also one that most Leeds United fans are concerned about. In the first game after returning to the Premier League, Leeds United will face the powerful Chelsea at home. I would like to ask you, do you think you and Leeds United are ready? Or perhaps we can hold Chelsea to a draw at home?"
"Of course, we have made all the preparations and we are sure we can win this game at home and take all 3 points."
"Pfft~~~~" As soon as Li Shiguang finished speaking, Allen, who was standing next to him, spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk.
Lind, on the other side, seemed to have heard something unbelievable. His mouth was so wide open that it could fit two eggs. He stared at Li Shiguang in horror and asked, "If I heard correctly, you just said... Leeds United will win at home?"
