Zhong Cheng returned to England on a starry and night trip, but he did not return to Leeds.

Zhong Cheng went directly to Birmingham, because Leeds United was about to play against Birmingham in the league. Birmingham's results were still good, and Yang Jiacheng's team was now in the stage of rushing for points.

But obviously, they are still much worse than Leeds United.

Leeds United must be prepared to win this game.

Now for Leeds United, any league game is very important.

This round of matches is the 16th round of the Premier League this season. The Premier League schedule is about to be halfway through, but now Leeds United still has not reached the top four, and Zhong Cheng is still a little anxious.

This is the current situation in the top rankings of the Premier League. The ranking of Leeds United's opponent Birmingham in this round is actually not low.

The Birmingham team still has some strength, so it is still a bit difficult for Leeds United to win.

Now that Leeds United are in Birmingham, they are ready to start this game.

Zhong Cheng went directly to the hotel where Leeds United were staying in Birmingham and met the Leeds United players.

Albertini gave Zhong Cheng a hug directly: "Boss, you are finally here!"

Zhong Cheng said: "How is the team's situation now? How is its status?"

Albertini immediately said: "The team's situation is very good now and the players are in good condition. I believe we can win this game!"

Hearing what Albertini said, Zhong Cheng felt relieved. Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, then patted Albertini on the shoulder and said, "I'm so lucky to you these days!"

Albertini said: "No, no, no, this is what we should do!"

Zhong Cheng exchanged greetings with Albertini for a few more words, and then Zhong Cheng and the others went back to their sister's rival, Birmingham, Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng was naturally not worried about this game, but he still made complete preparations.

Leeds United will not underestimate any opponent, and they will definitely go all out.

After arriving in Birmingham, Zhong Cheng also accepted interviews from media reporters.

At this time, the media reporters naturally asked more questions about the UEFA Champions League top 16 draw ceremony, but Zhong Cheng did not answer these questions at all. He refused to answer any questions that had nothing to do with this game. .

Facing the media reporters, Zhong Cheng said this: "Obviously, our Leeds United team is going to win this game. Our Leeds United team's goal this season is to win the Premier League championship. So, now we Leeds United The task of the United team is very, very important, we will play every game as if it is a championship game, and we will definitely go all out!"

Their strength has really increased a lot, and this game is their home court, so we at Leeds The United team must go all out. Yes, our Leeds United team must field all the main players in this game. In this game, our Leeds United team must win!"

After answering this question, Zhong Cheng left directly.

Moreover, Leeds United fans also know that Leeds United will soon leave England and fly to the United Arab Emirates. They will not be able to see Leeds United live games for a long time, so they are not interested in this away game. It's coming.

And today there are still many, many Leeds United fans who do not have tickets. They have no way to enter the stadium and can only watch Leeds United games in front of the big screen outside the stadium. These Leeds United fans also worked hard. .

Of course, it is because of Leeds United fans that Leeds United's performance will be so good.

Now the Leeds United fans are very excited. They are singing the Leeds United team song, cheering for Leeds United, shouting Zhong Cheng’s name, and waving the flag for Zhong Cheng.

This is the starting lineup of Leeds United today. It can be seen that this is really the main lineup of Leeds United. Although Mats Hummels is on the defense, it is also very strong. Although David Luiz has recovered from his injury, he has not yet fully recovered. To be on the safe side, Zhong Cheng did not let David Luiz start, but David Luiz will board the flight to the United Arab Emirates.

Leeds United's attack was very fierce, and Birmingham's head coach was a little overwhelmed.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo showed the Birmingham players what a super forward is?

After Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from Mesut Ozil on the wing, he immediately dribbled the ball forward. Facing the continuous pursuit and interception by Birmingham players, Cristiano Ronaldo actually passed by on a bicycle. , then a Marseille pirouette, another swipe of the bull's tail, directly into the Birmingham penalty area, and went to the meeting alone.

Everyone at the scene was shocked. Is this Cristiano Ronaldo fake?

This is a breakthrough move that Nima couldn't make even in the game, but Cristiano Ronaldo did it.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were so excited that they jumped up, and they were all very, very excited.

"Chris! Chris! Perfect Chris, we love you so much, Ronaldo!" Leeds United fans shouted excitedly.

Zhong Cheng on the sidelines was also very excited, he couldn't even believe his eyes.
