Episode【406】: We Want to Challenge the Strongest Leeds United

When Leeds United defeated their opponents, another game also ended. Estudiantes of La Plata from Argentina in South America defeated Pohang Steelers from South Korea in Asia 2-1 and advanced to the finals.

In other words, Leeds United’s opponent in the final of the Club World Cup was Argentina’s Estudiantes of La Plata.

Pohang Steelers is going to Atlante to compete for third place.

The first thing Zhong Cheng did when he returned to his hotel was to find out about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury.

Cristiano Ronaldo was really injured, not a smoke bomb thrown by Zhong Cheng.

Mark Pias immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, Chris' injury is not serious. He may not be able to participate in the Club World Cup final, but he will definitely be able to recover in the next league game!"

Zhong Cheng glanced at Mark Pias, then nodded slightly.

Zhong Cheng believed in Mark Piaas. He knew Mark Piaas quite well. He was a guy who never lied.

Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Don't rush to let Chris come back. You must let him recover from his injuries, you know?"

Mark Pias immediately said: "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, and then asked Mark Pias to lead the team to check the physical condition of the Leeds United players. Zhong Cheng did not want these players to get injured.

Mark Pias immediately went to do business, while Zhong Cheng went to visit Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zhong Cheng went to Cristiano Ronaldo’s room, but there was no one inside. Zhong Cheng wandered around the hotel and finally found Cristiano Ronaldo in the gym.

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is so diligent.

Many people have only seen the glamorous side of Cristiano Ronaldo and have never seen the efforts behind his comeback.

In Cristiano Ronaldo's own words: "My talent is not very good. My success mainly comes from my own efforts, which are many times harder than others. When others are playing, I am training; others When I'm picking up girls, I'm training; when others are sleeping, I'm also training..."

It has been more than a year since Cristiano Ronaldo came to Leeds United, and Zhong Cheng naturally knows what kind of person this guy is. That's why Zhong Cheng found Cristiano Ronaldo so easily.

Zhong Cheng said directly: "How's it going, Chris? Is your injury healed?"

When Cristiano Ronaldo saw Zhong Cheng arriving, he immediately put down the barbell in his hand and said: "Boss, our injuries have healed. I may be able to play in the next game!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, "If your injury is healed as you said, you will definitely be on the starting lineup for the next game. You don't have to worry about this!"

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly and said: "Thank you!"

Zhong Cheng said: "What did Mark tell you? Did he say when you would be able to recover?"

Cristiano Ronaldo said: "Mr. Mark said that my injury is not serious. If I can't recover in the next game, I will definitely recover in the next game."

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, then patted Cristiano Ronaldo on the shoulder and said: "There is nothing wrong with training hard, but it must be moderate, pay attention to your body, and don't get injured again!"

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly: "I know, boss!"

After Zhong Cheng exchanged greetings with Cristiano Ronaldo, he said, "Okay, you can continue practicing, I'll go look elsewhere!"

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly, and then the two parted ways.

Zhong Cheng saw Cristiano Ronaldo's situation. He figured out Cristiano Ronaldo's injury. It seemed that there was no big problem.

Zhong Cheng then went to Mark Pias's workplace. He went to understand the condition of the Leeds United players. How was the physical condition of the Leeds United players?

Yes, you should pay attention to the physical condition of Leeds United players at any time.

Zhong Cheng went to find out about it and found that there was no problem with the physical condition of the Leeds United players and they were very good. Zhong Cheng felt relieved now and was very confident in the next game.

Next Zhong Cheng went back to rest.

━━━Separating line━━━

The day before the final, the third and fourth place finals of the Club World Cup started.

Asian champion Pohang Steelers faced off against CONCACAF champion Atlante. The number of spectators in this game was actually not large, and the attention was not high.

The result of this game was that the two teams were tied at 1-1 after 120 minutes. The Koreans defeated Jose Guadalupe's team 4-3 in the penalty shootout and won the third place.

Zhong Cheng didn't pay much attention to this game.

Zhong Cheng's focus is on the next game, and he is also dealing with the matter of leaving the UAE and returning to China.

Yes, Zhong Cheng is preparing to lead the team back to China.

For Zhong Cheng, the Premier League is the most important, and the Club World Cup is not as important as the Premier League.

For this final, the Leeds United players still attach great importance to it.

The players of Leeds United have reached this point, so naturally they have to win the championship. The Leeds United players attach great importance to this game and must win it.

Before this game, all media reporters were reporting on Cristiano Ronaldo's situation, and they were all speculating on Cristiano Ronaldo's situation.

Because every day now reporters don’t know what happened when Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground? What they have never seen is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Many media reporters are speculating that Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer in the UAE at all and has returned to England.

And they still have a lot of reasons. They claim that Cristiano Ronaldo is now ready to go back to attend this year's World Footballer award ceremony instead of participating in any competition here.

Compared to the Club World Cup, the World Footballer award is the most important to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Anyway, at this time, countless media claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo would miss the final, and he left the UAE in shock.

Now the media reporters and fans are looking forward to the arrival of this game.

Before this game, Zhong Cheng also accepted interviews from media reporters.

Zhong Cheng said: "In this game, our Leeds United team will definitely go all out, you can rest assured. We attach great importance to this championship. Just watch, we will not let our support Our fans are disappointed!"

Well, these media reporters still asked questions about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zhong Cheng said this: "As for Cristiano Ronaldo's matter, I have no comment now. You can pay attention to this game. You will know soon, don't worry."

Then Zhong Cheng left directly, which made the media reporters very, very angry.

In this way, these fans flocked to the game.

Leeds United's opponent in this game, Estudiantes of La Plata, is still very strong, a strong team from Argentina. There is also a very famous player in this team, that is the Argentine star Veron who has played for Inter Milan, Manchester United and Chelsea.

At the same time, there is also a promising new star in this team, and that is Marcos Rojo.

Therefore, the strength of this team is still very good, and Zhong Cheng needs to take it seriously.

Before the game, the head coach of Estudiantes Sabella accepted an interview with media reporters. He said: "Leeds United is undoubtedly a very, very strong team. For us, we will definitely be Go all out. After all, we have reached this position, and we naturally want to go to the end. However, this should be difficult and it is also a challenge for us!"

Sabella also said: "The opponent is very strong, and we are not bad either. We will definitely win this game, for sure!"

Sabella was also asked about Cristiano Ronaldo. Sabella said: "I really don't know about Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed very strong. To be honest, I hope he can play. Being able to play against strong teams is very important for us. It’s an experience for me!”

Sabella finally said: "We will definitely go all out for this game and we will not let everyone down!"

At this time, not many teams are actually interested in Estudiantes of La Plata. Leeds United is still very strong. This team from Argentina should not be able to defeat Leeds United.

Veron, the top star of the La Plata Estudiantes, also accepted interviews from media reporters.

Veron said: "Leeds United has always been a very good team. I heard their legends when I was still playing in Europe. Their head coach Loya is really a very, very good person. His strength He is very strong, but I respect his character even more. He is a very, very good head coach!”

Veron only left European football in 2008 and returned to China to join the Estudiantes of La Plata, which is only a year old. It was precisely because of Veron's return that Estudiantes of La Plata counterattacked all the way in the Copa Libertadores and won the final championship.

Veron's children's shoes still have a very high status in the La Plata University team and are the absolute main force of the team.

Veron also said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is very powerful, and I know him. To be honest, I am very strong against him. If he cannot play in this game, I will be a little disappointed. I We hope our opponents are stronger, so that they can be of training value. At the same time, we are determined to win the Club World Cup!"

It can be seen that the La Plata University team is really thoughtful. They are not here to study with the prince in this game. They are really here for the final championship. Before the game, they directly issued a challenge, hoping to face the strongest Leeds United team.

Now a lot of fans and media reporters are flocking to the final venue, and the game is about to start tonight.

The final of the 2009 Club World Cup will soon begin, with Leeds United facing Estudiantes of La Plata.
