Episode 【203】: Di Matteo Leads the Army to Attack
Now countless teams want to poach Leeds United, especially Real Madrid.
Zhong Cheng has now received a lot of quotes just before his work.
Especially Real Madrid, who have made multiple offers to Leeds United, hoping to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Zhong Chengli ignored them!
Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale at Leeds United!
Zhong Cheng directly handed over these so-called offers to Trevor Birch for processing. Leeds United will not accept any offers until the end of the season.
As for after the season ends. Let’s talk about it then.
Now, Zhong Cheng went to find out about Alexander Pato's injury recovery.
This time Alexander Pato did not come to the club, and the club sent two staff members to understand the situation.
After the two people came back, Zhong Cheng took the reports of the two people and read them directly.
Zhong Cheng took a closer look and found that Alexander Pato's recovery was considered very good in the near future. Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. It seems that Alexander Pato will be able to return to the court soon and resume training.
After dealing with Alexander Pato's matter, Zhongche went directly to the training ground.
When Zhong Cheng came to the training ground, the Leeds United players were training nervously.
Nai Smith was in charge of this training today. He was leading the training while Albertini was watching from the side. Seeing Zhong Cheng's arrival, Albertini immediately walked up and said calmly: "Boss, the players are in very good condition. I think we will definitely win the next round!"
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and looked towards the training ground.
Inside the stadium, the Leeds United players are actively training. Judging from their running movements and postures, they are indeed in very good shape and everyone is very serious.
Zhong Cheng is very satisfied with the players' condition, very satisfied.
Now that the league has entered the final stage, this is the time to test the state and endurance.
Because often by this time, some teams can no longer hold on and will fall behind here.
Zhong Cheng naturally does not want such a thing to happen to Leeds United, and Leeds United has experience in previous seasons, so this should not be a serious test for Leeds United.
Albertini immediately said: "Boss, everyone is training very hard. Look, let's give them some holidays. After all, we are going to start sprinting later!"
Zhong Cheng waved his hand slightly and said: "No, you have to trust your players! The most important thing is that a head coach should know the physical condition and physical condition of his players at all times. I just learned from data analyst and sports physiotherapy The teachers are out, they are in very good physical condition now, you don’t have to worry!”
Albertini was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know!"
Albertini really didn't expect that Zhong Cheng left the training ground to do these things. No wonder Zhong Cheng is not afraid of the Leeds United players training like this. It turns out that he has already understood the situation of the players, and he is still worrying here. .
Albertini immediately gave a thumbs up to Zhong Cheng and said in his heart: "I learned another trick!"
Of course, this trick is not easy to learn, because many clubs do not have as advanced equipment as Leeds United, and many things are very, very expensive, and ordinary clubs really cannot afford it.
Leeds United's success makes sense. Their logistical support is so in place that it would be difficult not to succeed.
Zhong Cheng walked towards Canales, the team's physical fitness coach, and asked, "How is it?"
Canales immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, the data you gave me is correct. The players' physical condition is very good. Although our physical reserves were not at their best at the beginning of the season, now we see that Come on, it’s still very good, there won’t be any problems!”
Zhong Cheng stared at Canales and said, "Are you sure? We are about to enter the final sprint stage. If there is a problem with your physical fitness, then I will not let you go easily!"
Canales immediately patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry, we won't have any problems here!"
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and gave Canales a thumbs up to show his appreciation!
Then Zhong Cheng led the two of them to the sidelines and quietly looked at Nai Smith on the training field. Nai Smith was such a genius in training that Zhong Cheng could not help but nod his head.
Suddenly, Zhong Cheng said to Albertini next to him: "A person is great, but he is not really great. If you really want to go out and coach alone, you must have a good team. There are specialties and professional things in the art industry. It has to be done by professionals, so the team comes first!”
After saying that, Zhong Cheng reached out and patted Albertini on the shoulder, then walked into the stadium.
Albertini was stunned for a moment and touched his shoulder where he was patted. Thinking back to Zhong Cheng's words in his mind, he felt that this was really the case and that the team came first.
Albertini was thinking, if he really went out to coach, would he have a team as good as Zhong Cheng?
Albertini thought about it and found it very difficult.
Zhong Cheng is really lucky to have so many outstanding talents helping him. These are the invisible heroes behind Leeds United!
Albertini stared at the training ground blankly, thinking: "When will I be able to have such an excellent team?"
━━━Separating line━━━
On March 4, 2009, Zhong Cheng led Leeds United to Sheffield!
Because tomorrow, on March 5, Leeds United will face Sheffield Wednesday away from home. Yes, the Yorkshire Derby is back.
This Yorkshire Derby is very interesting.
Because this time it is a duel between master and apprentice Zhong Cheng and Di Matteo, countless media reporters are now reporting on this matter to warm up for this game.
Leeds United's current state is indeed quite good, and their results are stable in the top four in the league. But compared with the same period in the past, Leeds United's results this season are considered bad.
Many people are speculating that Leeds United has reached the five-year itch. Leeds United is now on the verge of collapse. Maybe next season, Leeds United will completely collapse.
Let’s talk about Sheffield Wednesday. Their results at the beginning of this season were very poor, and there were also internal problems. The conflict between the top management and head coach Van Gaal also broke out instantly, causing chaos within the team, which is why the team's results were so poor.
Then, the team's chairman Kramer directly gave up on Van Gaal because of his relationship with Huntelaar, fired Van Gaal, and hired former Leeds United assistant coach Di Matteo.
When Di Matteo took over the team, Sheffield Wednesday's results were very poor and they were about to be relegated. But after he took over the team, after the initial running-in period, the team's performance skyrocketed and its performance was very strong.
Sheffield Wednesday now have 45 points, only 46 points behind Arsenal. Now their goal is to finish in the top four of the Premier League and qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.
Leeds United is now ranked fourth in the Premier League, and Sheffield Wednesday's goal is Leeds United, striving to knock Leeds United out of fourth place in the Premier League.
Leeds United now have 53 points, eight points ahead of Sheffield Wednesday.
If Sheffield Wednesday wins this game, they will be able to reduce the point difference to five points. With ten rounds of games to go, Sheffield Wednesday has every chance to surpass Leeds United.
Therefore, in this round of competition, Kramer's task for Di Matteo is to defeat Leeds United.
Even, in Kramer's mind, defeating Leeds United is more important than qualifying for the Champions League.
The reason why Cramer bought this club was to trample Zhong Cheng under his feet.
Now that this opportunity is in front of him, Cramer naturally hopes that the team can defeat Leeds United immediately and win this game.
Di Matteo is very familiar with Leeds United, but the more he knows, the more he understands that Leeds United is difficult to deal with. It is really, really difficult to defeat Leeds United, but Di Matteo himself also wants to give it a try. Can he defeat Leeds United?
DiMatteo clenched his fists and roared with excitement in his heart: "Boss, I, DiMatteo, are here, are you ready?"
At the same time, countless media reporters flocked to Sheffield, wanting to interview people from both teams.
Kelly Fox from the "Yorkshire Post" interviewed Di Matteo, because Kelly Fox is Zhong Zheng's fiancée, and Zhong Zheng's relationship with Di Matteo is very good. Di Matteo You really have to give Zhong Zheng some face.
So DiMatteo was interviewed by Kelly Fox.
Kelly Fox immediately asked: "Excuse me, did you ever think about playing against Leeds United when you took over?"
Di Matteo smiled slightly and said: "Of course! In fact, when I left Leeds United and went out alone, I knew there would be such a day. To be honest, I am still looking forward to this day, because Leeds United You have given me a lot of things, and I want to prove it!"
Kelly Fox nodded slightly and asked, "So have you ever thought about confronting Loya?"
Di Matteo was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, I have thought about this scenario countless times and simulated this match countless times in my mind. I really want to compete with Loya Sir, let’s compete, not for winning or losing, but for gratitude!”
Kelly Fox was slightly startled, what the hell is this?
Di Matteo continued: "I will try my best to fight against Leeds United. I want to prove to Mr. Loya that his teaching was not in vain. I will also thank him for training me. I did not let him down." . Of course, it will be difficult for us to win this game, but we will definitely give our best!”
Kelly Fox rolled her eyes at DiMatteo, this guy is really good at bragging.
Kelly Fox continued to ask: "Now that you are about to face Mr. Loya, how do you feel?"
Di Matteo was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm very excited and happy, but of course I'm also worried... I feel very complicated. I have thousands of words in my chest, but I don't know how to express them!"
