Episode [172]: The War of Red and White Roses Is Coming

It's a busy week ahead for Leeds United!

The leagues of other national teams are in the winter break, and those players are on vacation and leisure, while the Premier League teams are working hard.

Next, Leeds United will usher in a double match in two weeks.

First of all, Leeds United will face the Red Devils Manchester United at home next week in the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals. In the first round match between the two sides, Leeds United lost 2-4 away at Old Trafford. This game was very difficult for Leeds United.

Over the weekend, Leeds United will play in the fourth round of this season's FA Cup.

Leeds United will play against Hartlips away from home. The opponent is not very weak and should be able to win. But the FA Cup is a breeding ground for upsets, and maybe Leeds United will be upset.

The next week, Leeds United will face the 23rd round of the Premier League in midweek. Leeds United will face Hull City at their home court. Next weekend, Leeds United will usher in the 24th round of the Premier League. Leeds United will challenge Arsenal away from home.

The game against Arsenal was very difficult, it was a big battle!

Of course, what is now in front of Leeds United is also a big battle, that is, the game against the Red Devils Manchester United. This game is quite important.

Leeds United are now in a very unfavorable situation, they are two goals behind Manchester United. However, they have two away goals. As long as they win 2-0 at home, they will advance to the English League Cup final.

Now it depends on what Zhong Cheng thinks about it?

Should Leeds United give up the League Cup or compete with Manchester United?

If they give up the League Cup, Leeds United will send out some young players to compete. If they want to compete with Manchester United, Leeds United will have to send out their main players.

However, Leeds United has a very heavy task this season. Is this game worth fighting for?

At this time, everyone couldn't help but think of the bloody game between Leeds United and Manchester United in the first half of the season. In that game, the two teams had a broken lineup, but other opponents reaped the benefits. The team has only recently recovered.

If the two teams fight each other again at this time, wouldn't this benefit the fisherman again?

Countless media reporters are now predicting this game. Everyone thinks that in this game, Leeds United will definitely have a fight with Manchester United. Because of the historical issues between the two, the two teams are mortal enemies. There is no easy game between them. Every game is a fierce fight.

Moreover, this is still the semi-finals of the English League Cup. After this game, you will directly enter the final. What are you afraid of?

Therefore, media reporters all believed that the two teams must be fighting like crazy.

There are also many highlights in this game, that is, Cristiano Ronaldo, the new Double Player of the Year, faces the Red Devils Manchester United for the first time after winning the award. This is a highlight.

There are also Frank Ribery and Yoann Gourcuff in the Leeds United team who also shined when facing their old clubs against Leeds United. This is the first time they have returned to Leeds United's home court to play against Leeds United after leaving Leeds United.

However, this is also the first time for Franck Ribery and Yoann Gourcuff to come to the Crown Stadium!

Because, when they were still at Leeds United, Leeds United's home stadium was still Elland Road Stadium, not the current Crown Stadium. The Crown Stadium is still under construction. When they transferred and left, the Crown Stadium was not yet in use, so this was their first time coming to the Crown Stadium.
