Episode【314】: The Miners’ Brazilian Genius Gang
The English Community Shield match is over. Last season's Premier League champions tied last season's English FA Cup champion two to two. In the final penalty shootout, Manchester United defeated Chelsea three to two and won the Community Shield.
Of course Zhong Cheng knows nothing about this!
Zhong Cheng is now quietly recuperating from his injuries and living an isolated life.
In my leisure time, I practiced calligraphy, planted flowers, raised fish, and chatted with beautiful women. It was so pleasant.
But Zhong Cheng is still full of worries about Leeds United. After all, Leeds United has many problems now, but Zhong Cheng can do nothing to help.
Zhong Cheng thought of his injury again!
Zhong Cheng knew very well that if he hadn't learned some Kung Fu, and received [Advanced Special Forces Skills] and [Apocalyptic Survival Skills] and other things to improve his physical fitness and skills, Zhong Cheng would not be as good as he is now. Relaxed.
Of course, now Zhong Cheng has no way to pay attention to the upcoming European Super Cup.
Now Zhong Cheng completely believes in Leeds United's acting coach Albertini!
Zhong Cheng believes that Albertini can succeed. Albertini is very talented, and the players of Leeds United are also very strong, so they deserve to win!
Of course, Zhong Cheng can't watch such a game now.
Zhong Cheng can only know the specific result of this game after he recovers from his injury!
Now, Albertini and Leeds United are in Monaco!
Yes, this season's UEFA Super Cup will be played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. Leeds United's opponent is last season's UEFA Cup winner Shakhtar Donetsk.
Shakhtar Donetsk is also the last UEFA Cup champion, because starting from next season the UEFA Cup will be transformed into the UEFA Europa League!
To be honest, there are a lot of monsters in this Shakhtar Donetsk team. They are all monsters from Brazil. They have introduced a lot of young monsters from Brazil. Now these Brazilian monsters have grown up. , which has attracted many clubs in Europe to want to introduce these Brazilian monsters.
This team of Shakhtar Donetsk is still very unique.
Before the game, Albertini was interviewed by media reporters. He said: "Our opponents are very strong. They are a very unique team. There are also many talents in their lineup. Rising Star, this is actually somewhat similar to our Leeds United team!"
At this time, media reporters naturally asked Albertini if he had ever thought about introducing some talented players from Shakhtar Donetsk?
Albertini answered this way: "The other party has a lot of talented players, but for us, they are not the players we need. We currently have no intention of bringing in players from Shakhtar Donetsk. Our goal now is to take care of our team’s affairs and welcome the new season!”
Albertini seems to mean that Leeds United has now closed the door to the transfer market.
This surprised the media reporters. Leeds United did not introduce any players this season. At this time, if they do not sign players, will they have to rely on their current team to compete in the Premier League in the new season? If this is the case, Leeds United's Premier League prospects are really not optimistic.
Albertini also said: "For now, our lineup is already very good. Of course, there may be some flaws, but we are not in a hurry to sign in now, we will find a perfect solution. Now we are waiting for the game to start!"
Yes, Albertini's attention is now focused on this European Super Cup.
The media reporters did not go to interview Albertini. They went to interview Lucescu, the head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, and asked him about his views on this game.
Obviously, Lucescu is also very confident in this game.
Lucescu believes that Shakhtar Donetsk is the strongest team. When facing a Leeds United team like this, they have a very good chance of winning.
Lucescu also stated that Shakhtar Donetsk’s talented players will not be sold, at least not during this season.
Actually, this is quite a slap in the face. Because their main center back Zygrinski has been sold to Barcelona, but the procedures have not been completed yet, and Zygrinski is still staying at Shakhtar Donetsk.
However, it is certain that this European Super Cup will be Zygrinski's last game for Shakhtar Donetsk. After this game, Zyglinski will report directly to Barcelona to prepare for the new season of La Liga.
Many other players in Shakhtar Donetsk's team are popular, and many clubs want to welcome players into their clubs.
In today's European Super Cup match, Shakhtar Donetsk's lineup is 4-4-1-1, and the starting list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Piatov
Back four [from left to right]: Razvan Rath, Zygrinski, Alexander Kuchel and Dario Srna
Midfield four [from left to right]: Willian, Huebschmann, Guy and Ilsinho
Single attacking midfielder: Fernandinho
Lone forward: Luis Adriano
This is Shakhtar Donetsk's starting lineup. There are really many future stars in it, such as Dario Srna, Willian from Brazil, Fernandinho and Luis Adri. Arnold, these people are all future football stars.
If Zhong Cheng sees Shakhtar Donetsk like this, Zhong Cheng will not take it easy, because this Shakhtar Donetsk team is very strong. Their ability to win the UEFA Cup is enough to show that Problem.
Today, Leeds United’s starting lineup is 4-2-3-1. The starting lineup is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Lichtsteiner
Double defensive midfielder: Stephen Mbia and Sami Khedira
Midfield three [from left to right]: Gareth Bale, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Single striker: Lewandowski
This is Leeds United's starting lineup today. Albertini still continued Zhong Cheng's starting lineup and did not add anything of his own. This should also be Leeds United's starting lineup in the new season.
Obviously, Albertini attaches great importance to this game. He must win this game. He is very well prepared and is just waiting for the game to start.
But as soon as the game started, Leeds United fell into a passive position.
And in the eleventh minute of the first half, Shakhtar Donetsk played a beautiful cooperation. The three Brazilians William, Fernandinho and Luis Adriano played very well. Beautiful triangle attack coordination, passing the ball one after another, and then William sent a good through ball from the wing.
The ball rolled right past David Luiz.
The fast Luis Adriano made a very timely forward move, passed David Luiz and caught up with the football. Facing Leeds United goalkeeper Zhong Zheng, Luis Adriano directly shot a low shot into the near corner.
Yes, Luis Adriano did not choose the far corner, but did the opposite and chose an inward corner.
The ball was very fast and rolled into the Leeds United goal close to the inside of the post at the near corner.
Zhong Zheng's reaction was timely. His left hand had already touched the football. Unfortunately, the football still rolled into Leeds United's goal. Leeds United fell behind 1-0.
This was beyond Albertini’s expectations!
Not long after the game started, we lost the ball and fell behind.
This game is much worse than Albertini imagined. Now Leeds United is very dangerous. But Leeds United did not panic. They had faced this situation many, many times and there was no need to be too anxious at all.
The players of Leeds United played according to Albertini's tactical arrangements. The players of Leeds United were even more eager to win than Albertini. They did not want to lose just like this.
The Leeds United players were united and attacked like crazy.
Cristiano Ronaldo is leading Leeds United's talented players, attacking like crazy and laying siege to Shakhtar Donetsk. They put a lot of pressure on Shakhtar Donetsk, which made their defense a little confused.
In the 29th minute of the first half of the game, Leeds United forward Lewandowski overwhelmed Shakhtar Donetsk center back Alexander Kuchel in the frontcourt and headed the ball to the goalkeeper. Cristiano Ronaldo followed.
Shakhtar Donetsk's central defender is tall and fast. Zygrinski is over 190cm tall and is responsible for high-altitude balls. Alexander Kuchel is only 184cm tall. He is responsible for the space behind him, chasing back, etc. The two have a clear division of labor.
But this time Leeds United directly seized the space. Lewandowski made a misplacement and directly beat Alexander Kuchel and headed the ball across.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who followed up, quickly swung his legs to meet the ball and fired furiously. When he was about to touch the football, Cristiano Ronaldo flicked his ankle and dunked the football towards the center, directly past the shaken Zygrinski, and opened the space.
After getting out of the way, Cristiano Ronaldo shot directly with his legs without hesitation.
With a bang, the football flew towards Shakhtar Donetsk's goal like lightning.
Piatov reacted quickly and pounced on the football. Unfortunately, it was obvious that his efforts were in vain, because Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was too powerful and the ball was too fast, and there was no way to save it.
The football flew quickly into Shakhtar Donetsk's goal.
One to one!
Leeds United equalized the score. Albertini was very happy and excited on the sidelines. The ball was played very well.
Moreover, the morale of the Leeds United players is high now, and then it is time for Leeds United to attack violently. Leeds United takes control of the situation and is very likely to expand the score before the end of the first half. This is what Albertini wants to see most, he hopes Leeds United can take the lead.
Of course, Leeds United's opponent Shakhtar Donetsk is not weak at all. It would actually be quite difficult for Leeds United to win the game like this. Now the Leeds United players are working hard to win the game. Cristiano Ronaldo and others worked very hard, attacking crazily and trying their best.
