Episode [241]: A Crucial Battle in the Premier League
A beautiful woman, Bian Yuqing is here again.
Bian Yuqing came with an interview mission this time.
However, Zhong Cheng did not give Bian Yuqing face. Although they are good friends now, Zhong Cheng really did not accept Bian Yuqing's interview this time.
There are certain times when being pretty doesn't help.
For example, this time, Bian Yuqing failed.
Bian Yuqing stared at Zhong Cheng with some resentment, and his pouty lips were almost covered with oil bottles.
Zhong Cheng rarely saw the mood of a little woman like Bian Yuqing, and Zhong Cheng was slightly taken aback.
Acting cute is indeed very popular, but it is useless in front of Zhong Cheng now.
Zhong Cheng said calmly: "Okay, this is not like you anymore!"
Bian Yu gave Zhong Cheng a clean look and said calmly: "You still don't want the benefits I'm giving you, huh!"
After saying that, Bian Yuqing turned around, waved to Zhong Cheng, and left directly.
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "Hey, you can't be so realistic, right? You're leaving now, why don't you stay and have a meal together?"
Bian Yuqing was like a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, turning around playfully, as if a flower was blooming and emitting a burst of fragrance.
She is indeed a woman as beautiful as a flower.
Just listen to Bian Yuqing say: "Humph, I didn't even get the interview. If I'm in the mood to eat, I'll still eat rubbish!"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Then you should go back and eat dirt, I won't keep you!"
Upon hearing this, Bian Yuqing's breath froze, he glared at Zhong Cheng, snorted and turned away.
Watching Bian Yuqing leave, Zhong Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "Forget it if you don't want to eat. Brother, I will eat alone!"
After saying that, Zhong Cheng also left and went home to eat.
What Zhong Cheng is thinking about now is the next Premier League game. Next is the thirty-sixth round of the Premier League this season. This is really the penultimate round of the season. Leeds United lost the chance to win the Premier League championship early on, and their four-consecutive victory was really over.
Moreover, Leeds United's current goal is the top four in the Premier League.
Leeds United are currently fifth in the Premier League, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal. However, as long as Leeds United wins one game and Arsenal loses one game, Leeds United will be able to surpass Arsenal and reach fourth place in the Premier League.
The next round of the game is a critical point, because this can be said to be Leeds United's last chance.
In this round of matches, Leeds United will face the Red Army Liverpool at their home court, Arsenal will face Chelsea at their home court, and Manchester United will also face Manchester City at their home court. Moreover, the games of the top five teams are all played at the same time, and the following games are the same.
The Premier League has now reached a fever pitch.
Currently ranked first in the Premier League is Manchester United, with 79 points, only 3 points ahead of Liverpool, who have 76 points. And there is Chelsea with 73 points. The competition for the Premier League championship this season is really very fierce.
Obviously, in this round of games, Liverpool will definitely have a fierce battle with Leeds United. And Chelsea will not let Arsenal take away the victory. This is an extremely hot game.
Countless pairs of eyes around the world are focused on the Premier League, which is simply more exciting than the UEFA Champions League. No wonder UEFA doesn't want the UEFA Champions League final to become a Premier League civil war.
Now, Leeds United are waiting for Liverpool. Liverpool doesn't have any games in the middle of the week. They can be said to be waiting for work. Therefore, the outside world is not optimistic about Leeds United at this time. They all think that Leeds United is really finished and has no chance to defeat Liverpool.
Yes, everyone is not optimistic about Leeds United now. Leeds United really has no energy now. Arsenal and Manchester United have both gone through four games, so now everyone thinks that this round of games is likely to be a turning point in the Premier League this season.
In other words, the current English media believe that Liverpool and Chelsea have a very high chance of winning, while Leeds United, Arsenal and Manchester United will all lose.
Therefore, after this round of games, Liverpool will definitely surpass Manchester United and return to the top of the Premier League. Chelsea will also tie Manchester United, Arsenal remains fourth, and Leeds United has no way to move forward.
Yes, countless media are predicting this at this time, and many European bookmakers are also offering odds like this. Obviously, everyone is more optimistic about the Liverpool team.
Liverpool fans are looking forward to this game very much. This game will bring them back to the top of the Premier League. They naturally hope that this game will come sooner. In this case, they can surpass Manchester United and the championship can be expected.
Liverpool fans are now full of confidence and joy, believing that Liverpool will definitely surpass Manchester United and reach the top of the Premier League next year.
And now the Liverpool players are also very confident. They think they will win this game. They are confident of defeating a tired Leeds United team.
Many media reporters flocked to the Liverpool team's residence to interview Liverpool players.
Liverpool captain Gerrard accepted an interview with media reporters. He said: "Now that the Premier League next year has entered a fever pitch, Leeds United have spent too much physical energy on Zhong Cheng. In this weekend's game, they Leeds United have no chance!"
Gerrard also said: "We are naturally very confident about this game. Our desire for the Premier League title has surpassed everything. In this game, we will definitely go all out to win this game. It must belong to us.”
Gerrard repeatedly emphasized that they would win this game, which shows their belief.
Zhong Cheng knew that it was a very difficult game against Li Liverpool, but after hearing what Gerrard said, Zhong Cheng knew that this game would be even more difficult.
Of course, Zhong Cheng will not give up this game. Although Leeds United won the UEFA Champions League, even if they did not reach the top four of the Premier League, they will advance to the UEFA Champions League as the defending champion tomorrow.
However, Zhong Cheng still doesn't want to do this!
The top four is not only about a Champions League seat, but also a symbol in the Premier League. Leeds United must be in the top four of the Premier League, otherwise his efforts over the years will be in vain, and Leeds United's image will drop a lot.
Therefore, no matter what happens to Liverpool, Leeds United will not give up in this game and will definitely go all out to win the game.
Because there are really not many opportunities left for Leeds United. If they don't lose the game, the entire season of Leeds United will really be over.
At this time, Liverpool's head coach Benitez said this in front of the media reporters: "You should know how important this game is to us at Liverpool. Under such circumstances, we at Liverpool cannot recognize each other. Whoever comes will destroy whoever comes! Today, our Liverpool team must be the champion!" Yes, Benitez has also been looking forward to this Premier League championship for a long, long time. Now is a very, very good opportunity, the league championship is right in front of him!
Benitez also said: "It is undeniable that Madman Loya is very powerful. But so what? Is our Liverpool team weak? Obviously not, we will definitely win!"
The Liverpool team showed very strong confidence and they are ready to win.
At this time, Zhong Cheng did not accept interviews from media reporters. He asked Leeds United players and assistant coaches to be interviewed by media reporters. Zhong Cheng and the Leeds United players only revealed one message, that is, Leeds United will never give up.
Sure enough, a fierce battle is just around the corner!
On the day of the game, the Leeds United players all wore white jerseys and stood in the stadium very seriously. They felt a lot of pressure in this game.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were also wearing home jerseys, turning the place into a sea of white. All Leeds United fans were cheering for Leeds United.
At this time, Liverpool fans also came from afar to prepare for this game. They are cheering for the Liverpool players. This game is really too important for them. They can only win and not lose. !
At this time, the players from both sides were already in the stadium. The commentators of this game, Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray, introduced the starting lineups of both sides.
Away team: Liverpool, head coach: Benitez, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Reina
Back four [from left to right]: Insua, Agger, Skrtel and Arbeloa
Midfield four [from left to right]: Benayoun, Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Gerrard
Two forwards: Fernando Torres and Kuyt
This is the starting list for today's visiting team Liverpool. Looking at this list, you can tell that the Liverpool people are coming with bad intentions. They are going to attack Liverpool and take away three points.
Today’s home team Leeds United’s starting lineup is as follows:
Home team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Glen Johnson
Double defensive midfielder: Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure
Midfield three [from left to right]: Marco Reus, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo
Lone forward: Diego Milito
This is Leeds United's starting lineup today, there are still some changes. Patrick Evra and Glen Johnson returned to the main lineup, while Ivanovic and Lichtsteiner sat on the bench.
The position of the defensive midfielder is the same as in the midweek game, it is these two.
This is also because Leeds United's defensive players had problems one after another, which led to the current situation. Zhong Cheng had no choice but to change his formation.
On the forward line, Gareth Bale was somewhat separated in the midweek game, so in this game Gareth Bale did not even make the bench, and Marco Reus was the starter.
Diego Milito is now behind the forward line, because Leeds United really doesn't have many forwards available. Although Alexander Pato is recovering from training, according to the doctor, Alexander Pato cannot pay for his short-term interior, and Leeds United must be prepared, especially for next season.
