Episode 【313】: The European Super Cup Is Coming

The outside world's reputation for Leeds United is very bad, and everyone looks down on Leeds United.

Indeed, Leeds United's current performance is really terrible.

Without Zhong Cheng, Leeds United is like a tiger without teeth, only a deterrent but no real lethality.

Yes, the stars of Leeds United are there, but they just can't show their strength.

The pressure on Albertini is very high now.

Now this year's European Super Cup is coming soon, and after one warm-up match, Leeds United will usher in their second European Super Cup in history.

The first time, Zhong Cheng led the team, and that time they won the UEFA Cup.

That time Leeds United lost to their opponents and did not win the European Super Cup. This is the second time Leeds United has won the European Super Cup!

Originally, Zhong Cheng wanted to lead the team in the European Super Cup, but now it seems that this is not possible.

Zhong Cheng is currently recuperating from his injury. Several people are watching him and don't even let him know any news about football, let alone leading the team to participate in the European Super Cup.

And now Albertini is completely preparing for the upcoming European Super Cup!

To be honest, Albertini attaches great importance to this game and he really wants to win this championship to prove himself. It also seems that Zhong Cheng has an explanation, he doesn't want to disappoint Zhong Cheng.

Before that, Albertini had to lead the team in another warm-up match.

This is the last warm-up match before this season, and then it will be the official game.

Leeds United's opponent is quite strong, the Lyon team from France!

This team is a team that has entered the Champions League, and their strength is naturally very powerful. Facing such an opponent, Albertini was still under some pressure.

And the pressure is quite high!

However, Albertini was cheering himself on!

In this game, Albertini was previewing the European Super Cup. He went all out to make the players fight for Lyon.

The players of Leeds United performed very well and showed their strength.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are still in good condition, and the performance of other players has also improved greatly.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Leeds United's Lewandowski blasted the ball into Lyon's goal. Lewandowski showed his strength and Leeds United fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Diego Milito and others have left, Lewandowski doesn't look too bad!

In the 16th minute of the second half, Leeds United got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Cristiano Ronaldo took a beautiful direct free kick and blasted the football towards the Lyon goal. The ball was really too fast.

But the football was blocked by Lyon's goalkeeper.

Fortunately, it was Lewandowski who landed on the second spot. Lewandowski directly touched the ball and pushed the football into the Lyon goal.

Lewandowski scored twice.

This was not Lewandowski's last performance. At the end of the game, this guy received a precise through ball from Mesut Ozil and shot a low shot into the Lyon goal. .

Lewandowski scored a hat trick!

Lewandowski really performed very well in this game, which was amazing.

In this game, Leeds United also defeated Lyon 3-1, and Albertini finally won his second victory in the warm-up match.

The victory in this game is quite convincing, at least it is much more convincing than the victory over the English second team. In this game, the condition of Leeds United players has recovered somewhat, which allows Leeds United fans to finally see something good.

Of course, people outside are not optimistic about Leeds United now.

Leeds United really have no competitiveness this season. After they let go of so many main players, their strength has dropped sharply. Now that there is no Zhong Cheng, this Leeds United team is definitely going to be finished, completely finished.

Now fans of other teams in the Premier League have said that it is very difficult for Leeds United to break into the top ten of the Premier League this season. Not to mention the Premier League title or something.

Now, the Premier League is about to start.

Yes, what is going on now is the English Community Shield, which has nothing to do with Leeds United. Last season, Leeds United only won one championship, which was the UEFA Champions League championship. There were no other championships, so naturally they would not participate in the Community Shield.

However, the English Community Shield is held two days earlier than the European Super Cup.

Of course, one week after the English Community Shield ends, the new Premier League season will officially start.

Therefore, Leeds United had to face a double match situation every week.

This is another test for Leeds United in the new season!

At this time, the media reporters were all concerned about Zhong Cheng's news. They all wanted to know what Zhong Cheng's current situation was. When can Zhong Cheng return from injury?

Or is it true that as some people have revealed, Zhong Cheng is really on his last legs, and Leeds United will be sold soon.

Yes, there are crazy rumors that Leeds United are about to be sold.

And at this time, many companies have announced that they will acquire Leeds United.

For example, there are oil consortiums from the Middle East, financial families from Wall Street in the United States, and some mysterious rich people from China, all of whom have made noises about acquiring Leeds United.

Representatives of these groups even held a press conference, announcing that they had launched a plan to acquire Leeds United, and they were creating various campaigns to acquire Leeds United.

Now they have made this matter a rage in the city and everyone knows about it.

It's as if Leeds United are really for sale!

Therefore, these media reporters now want to interview Zhong Cheng and ask whether the matter is true?

Moreover, a reporter from The Times claimed that Zhong Cheng should consider selling Leeds United for his father's Leyton Orient Club. Leyton Orient Club has been promoted to the Premier League. After he sells Leeds United, he will go directly to Leyton Orient Club.

As soon as these speculations came out, Leeds United fans were very nervous.

These Leeds United fans flocked to the Leeds United Club Building to demonstrate and wanted Leeds United Club to give them an explanation. Of course, these people still believe in Zhong Cheng, but the reporters from the outside media are really noisy and cannot tolerate their disbelief!

At this time, the media reporters also wanted to interview Zhong Cheng to see what happened.

At this time, it was obvious that these media reporters could not interview Zhong Cheng. Some staff and players of the Leeds United club cannot see Zhong Cheng, and even Trevor Birch has a hard time seeing Zhong Cheng. He always went to see Julia Oliveira first.

So at this time, only Trevor Birch stepped forward to resist.

Media reporters rushed forward and frequently interviewed Leeds United Vice Chairman Trevor Birch.

Trevor Birch is now a little tired of seeing these media reporters, and they now come to interview him frequently. And the questions asked are the same every time. Trevor Birch really doesn’t understand why these guys are still forcing each other so hard?

Trevor Birch held a press conference specifically to address this matter.

At the press conference, Trevor Birch said: "In response to some rumors from the outside world today, our club is here to make a living today. Our Leeds United Club has no intention of selling. Yes, there have been some companies and groups recently. They came to our club to discuss the acquisition. But our club turned it down instead of saying they were bargaining. Our intention is very clear, we will not sell Leeds United Club.”

Trevor Birch also said: "Please also pay attention to those media reporters, don't hold on to this anymore, our Leeds United club will not be sold. Our chairman is still Loya, and now Loya Ya, the future will also be Luo Ya, this will not change!”

The media reporters wanted to ask questions about Zhong Cheng's health.

Trevor Birch immediately said: "Mr. Loya is in very good condition now, and his recovery is very fast. I believe it won't be long before Mr. Loya has a chance to come back. Of course, when will he come back? We are now I don’t know yet, we have to wait for the doctor’s arrangement!”

After answering some miscellaneous questions and once again emphasizing that Leeds United would not be sold, the press conference finally came to an end.

Leeds United fans got the news they wanted and they are relieved.

But some guys with ulterior motives did not stop and continued to cause some trouble for Leeds United. Yes, it's Gerald Krasner. This guy is looking for trouble for Leeds United. He just doesn't like Leeds United!

Now, the outside media are focusing on when Zhong Cheng will recover from injury and how Leeds United will face the upcoming European Super Cup.

Yes the European Super Cup is coming soon.

Obviously, Zhong Cheng will not be able to return from injury before the European Super Cup, so Albertini really has to lead Leeds United in this game.

To be honest, Albertini originally wanted to have a good talk with Zhong Cheng. But when he thought about Zhong Cheng's current situation, he didn't want to disturb Zhong Cheng and asked Zhong Cheng to rest well and come back as soon as possible.

In this way, the pressure on Albertini is very high!

Albertini is considered to be the one with the best opportunity among Zhong Cheng’s three previous assistants. When Brendan Rodgers and Di Matteo were with Zhong Cheng, they also got the opportunity to coach Leeds United alone. . But they are not as important as the games led by Albertini. This is the European Super Cup!

Therefore, Albertini's starting point is much higher than that of Brendan Rodgers and Di Matteo!

And now Brendan Rodgers and Di Matteo are both Premier League managers. Now Brendan Rogers is coaching Leyton Orient. Rogers is very good. He has been here for two years and led the team to win two consecutive leagues and was promoted from English League One to the Premier League. His performance is very amazing.

And Di Matteo is now the head coach of Sheffield Wednesday, and his results under his leadership are also very good.

Now Albertini's starting point is much higher than these two seniors, and Albertini's future is promising. Yes, some clubs are now targeting Albertini, and they also want to poach Albertini away.

Yes, Zhong Cheng not only trained batch after batch of young players, but also trained a group of strong football coaches. Zhong Cheng is really amazing.
