Episode [372]: Mr. Alex’s New Goal

December 5, 2009, Crown Stadium, Leeds, England.

It was a crowded place today, and all the Leeds United fans were wearing white jerseys and jackets. Yes, many fans put on jackets because it was too cold.

But many people still put on white coats and formed a white rose square.

These die-hard Leeds United fans roared with excitement, screamed crazily, and sang the Leeds United team anthem to cheer for Leeds United.

All Leeds United fans are full of energy in this game.

Because Leeds United's opponent in this game is Manchester United.

Leeds United and Manchester United have been mortal enemies for a long time. As long as they face them, Leeds United fans will have endless power to fight with the Manchester United people to the end.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were screaming with excitement and chanting slogans to kill Manchester United.

The fans of Leeds United really want to rush off the field to fight with Manchester United to let the Manchester United people know how powerful the Leeds United people are. The victory of this game must belong to Leeds United.

Of course, there were also a lot of Red Devils and Manchester United fans at the scene.

Many players from Manchester United came to Leeds. They came to cheer for their team. They did not want to be weaker than Leeds United in terms of momentum. Manchester United is a super rich team, how could they lose these? Leeds United is a little brother, and their Manchester United team must win this game.

Manchester United fans are all wearing red clothes, as if to declare their sovereignty.

The Manchester United fans sang loudly, as if they wanted to turn this place into the home stadium of their Manchester United team.

However, Manchester United fans failed to do so.

Their voices were completely suppressed by the voices of Leeds United fans at home. Everyone could only hear the singing of Manchester United fans sporadically. This is indeed the home stadium of Leeds United.

However, this not only did not hit the Manchester United fans, but instead inspired the Manchester United fans. Manchester United must win this game.

Manchester United fans want their players to pierce the weak shell of Leeds United with victory and let them know that no one can stop Manchester United from winning.

Manchester United fans are so arrogant.

Now these Manchester United fans are already singing loudly, singing Manchester United's team song "Glory Belongs to Manchester United". It can be seen that they really regard this as their home court and dominate the scene.

Now the players from both sides are waiting for the players to appear in this game. Everyone can't wait.

"Hello, viewers and fans! I am the Mark Lawrenson you are familiar with, and I am very happy to meet you!" BBC Sports broadcast this game live, and Mark Lawrenson is now at the scene.

"Hello everyone, I am the Eddie Gray you are familiar with. Today I am still partnering with my partner Mark to explain this focus battle for everyone!" Eddie Gray said.

There were many colleagues beside Eddie Gray who came to commentate on this game. Eddie Gray even saw an Eastern-looking commentator at the scene. It seems that there are also Eastern commentators in this game. The TV station is broadcasting live.

In fact, this is not a live broadcast by an Eastern TV station, but a live broadcast of the football match by [Zhongcheng Video Network]!

This Zhong Cheng has already obtained the right to broadcast the game. In addition to the live broadcast of Leeds United games, there are also games of other Premier League teams. However, [Zhongcheng Video Network] mainly broadcasts Leeds United games so that Leeds United fans in China can watch Leeds United games.

[Zhongcheng Video Network] not only broadcasts Leeds United's Premier League games, they will broadcast any Leeds United games, and they will even broadcast some warm-up friendly matches.

Now [Zhongcheng Video Network] has almost become a gathering place for Chinese and even Asian fans of Leeds United.

Now there are two Chinese commentators here explaining and broadcasting this game live.

Eddie Gray glanced at the two colleagues, then withdrew his gaze and continued: "What we have come to you today is the highlight of the fifteenth round of the Premier League this season. Leeds United is at their home court. The game against the Red Devils Manchester United, yes, this is the battle of red and white roses!"

Yes, this is the battle of red and white roses.

"This game is very important for both teams, because both teams are aiming for the championship. But now both teams are far away from the championship in the standings. Although Manchester United ranks second in the Premier League , but they are also five points behind Chelsea, who is ranked first. If they lose this game, they will be eight points behind Chelsea, which is amazing!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately .

"Similarly, Leeds United are currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, nine points behind Chelsea, who are at the top of the list. If they lose this game again, then Leeds United will be two points behind Chelsea. With more than a few points, how can we play in the next league?" Mark Lawrenson continued.

"So, this game is a game that both teams cannot afford to lose. But since both teams want to win, then this game will definitely be an unusual match like sparks hitting the earth. The scene and the Fans in front of the TV, you really earned it this time!" Eddie Gray said.

"Everyone knows the importance of this game, let's talk about other things!" Eddie Liu said.

"Even without such a background, this game will still be very interesting to watch, because this game is the battle of red and white roses. This comes from the accumulation of history and the superposition of grudges. No matter when these two teams meet, There will be a bloody storm, and the game between these two teams will not be easy!" said Mark Lawrenson.

"It has been a long time since the Red and White Rose War, but the grievances between the two places continue, extending into football. This football game is no longer an ordinary game. No one can afford to lose in this game and will do their best. Attack with all your strength!" Eddie Gray continued.

"Okay, we have introduced the background of this game here, let's talk about this year's European Footballer?" Mark Lawrenson suddenly said.

Eddie Gray was a little confused. Why was he suddenly transferred to the European Footballer of the Year?

Eddie Gray stared at Mark Lawrenson with a confused look on his face.

Mark Lawrenson suddenly asked: "Eddie, who do you think will be the European Footballer of the Year this year?"

Eddie Gray immediately said: "Does this need to be said? Of course it is Cristiano Ronaldo of our Leeds United club. He will win this award for two consecutive years. Pay attention to Messi, he is still young and he is still not good enough." It’s far away!”

At this moment, the fans at the scene cheered and clapped and shouted excitedly.

Only then did Eddie Gray and Mark Lawrenson realize that it was time for them to do their jobs instead of bragging here.

Eddie Gray immediately said: "Okay, the players from both sides have followed the footsteps of the referee Martin Atkinson into the Crown Arena, and the game is about to start. Now we are here to help everyone Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides today!"

Yes, at this time, the players from both sides were filming in two rows, walked out of the player tunnel, and walked into the Crown Stadium, the home of Leeds United. The atmosphere among the fans at the scene was very, very good.

Mark Lawrenson immediately said: "Now, let me introduce to you the starting lineup of today's away team Red Devils Manchester United!"

Today's Manchester United starting lineup is as follows:

Away team: Manchester United, head coach: Alex Ferguson, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar

Back four [from left to right]: Pascal Chimbanda, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic and Gary Neville

Midfield four [from left to right]: Franck Ribery, Yoann Gourcuff, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia

Two forwards: Wayne Rooney and Berbatov

This is Manchester United's starting lineup for this game, and this lineup is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

To be honest, this defense is the main defense of the Red Devils and Manchester United. So far, it is really good that they have been able to maintain such integrity. It seems that injuries have not attacked Manchester United's defense. .

In the midfield line, Scholes and Giggs did not appear in the starting lineup. It is said that Giggs was unable to play in this game due to injury, so his performance in joining Manchester United has not been good so far. Antonio Valencia continues to start.

As for Scholes, he was completely pushed to the bench by Yoan Gourcuff.

Manchester United's striker is also the main striker, but Alex Ferguson is still very dissatisfied with Berbatov, but so far he has not found a good striker to replace him, so Berbatov is still the main force of Manchester United. forward.

At this time, there were three forwards that Alex Ferguson valued. One was Lewandowski, the current center of Leeds United. He had coveted Lewandowski for more than a day or two. He made several requests to Leeds United to buy Lewandowski, but they were all rejected.

The second player is German forward Mario Gomez. This forward has just transferred to Bayern Munich. He originally wanted to win this season, but unfortunately the Germans still chose the German overlord. But now Mario Gomez is not doing well in Bayern Munich.

After Mario Gomez came to Bayern Munich, his performance was unsatisfactory and his effectiveness was too low. Many people claimed that Mario Gomez was a super parallel import.

But in Alex Ferguson's view, Mario Gomez just doesn't adapt to Bayern Munich's tactics. Mario Gomez still has abilities.

And the most important thing is that Mario Gomez was the center who was once favored by Zhong Cheng.

At the beginning, Zhong Cheng listed many centers, including Mario Gomez's name. Later, after Brendan Rodgers left Leeds United and came to Leyton Orient, he went to Mario Gomez and revealed these things. All Alex Ferguson knew was that Zhong Cheng valued Mario Gomez. Max's talk.

Originally, Brendan Rodgers also wanted to introduce Mario Gomez, but unfortunately Leyton Orient's starting point was too low. Mario Gomez naturally wanted to play in the Bundesliga.

Alex Ferguson believes in Zhong Cheng's vision, and he has been running Mario Gomez's affairs recently. Isn’t Mario Gomez unhappy at Bayern Munich now? Isn't there no chance that it will be considered a parallel import? Now is Manchester United’s chance!

In addition, Alex Ferguson also values ​​​​the former Bundesliga golden boot Edin Dzeko, which is also a player Zhong Cheng once valued. Zhong Cheng took a fancy to this player when he was still in the Czech Republic, and later he became the Bundesliga Golden Boot. This shows that Zhong Cheng has really great vision!
