Episode 【408】: He Is Indeed a Difficult Guy to Deal With.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not start, but was on the bench.

This clears everyone’s doubts.

Cristiano Ronaldo also waved to the Leeds United fans in attendance, much to the delight of the Leeds United fans.

At this moment, the live competition had begun.

Estudiantes of La Plata is indeed very different from Atlante, Leeds United's opponent in the last game. They are relatively conservative.

Obviously, the team received a reminder from head coach Sabella.

Because Argentina's teams generally advocate offense, even when facing teams that are much stronger than themselves, they charge and attack crazily.

The factor in South Americans is that they advocate offense.

But today they put on a defensive posture when facing Leeds United, which also shows that their head coach Sabella attaches great importance to Leeds United.

However, fans of Estudiantes of La Plata still want the team to attack. Their strength is offense, and they want to see the team attack.

In the stadium, Leeds United did not attack crazily from the start.

Leeds United thought that Estudiantes of La Plata would attack like crazy. They all set up a defensive counterattack, but now it doesn't seem to be working.

Zhong Cheng sat on the sidelines and did not let the players change their tactics. They still focused on defense.

Zhong Cheng believes that if they compete with the Estudiantes of La Plata, Leeds United will definitely win. A team like the Estudiantes of La Plata that advocates offense can't hold it in for long. You see, it won't be long before they can't hold it in and attack.

Sabella was staring at the court from the other side. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and glanced at Zhong Cheng.

Sure enough, this guy is quite difficult to deal with!

What to do about this situation now? Is this really going to end with Leeds United?

However, this is obviously detrimental to the Estudiantes of La Plata. This not only wastes the offensive time of the Estudiantes of La Plata, but also stimulates the emotions of the Estudiantes of La Plata. If this is held in for too long , I'm afraid I won't be able to control these guys once I loosen the reins.

Sabella rubbed her forehead and thought about it, why not stop holding back and attack!

Sabella could see that Zhong Cheng was obviously trying to compete with him for patience. In this regard, they are definitely going to lose. Instead of holding it back until they finally lose control, they might as well take the initiative to seek change now!

Sabella felt that her idea was correct, but this also meant that Sabella lost the first fight between the two.

With a bang, Gareth Bale suddenly fired a shot thirty-six yards away from the goal, almost breaking through the goal of Estudiantes of La Plata. At that time, goalkeeper Alweir was not focused and almost missed the goal. A little is a bad thing.

Sabella frowned, knowing that she had to react as soon as possible.

Because this rhythm is a rhythm that Leeds United people are very familiar with, if they continue to mix in this rhythm, the Estudiantes of La Plata will lose a lot of things, and may even be led by their opponents in the end.

We absolutely cannot continue like this.

Sabella immediately stood up and walked out slowly, making people think that he was careless and just wanted to go for a walk. There was nothing wrong with her.

However, Zhong Cheng understood clearly that Sabella's demands had changed.

Sure enough, Sabella is also a very good head coach. He sees problems accurately and makes decisions immediately without hesitation. This is the basic quality a head coach should have, and Sabella is good.

Zhong Cheng didn't pay attention to these little moves by Sabella, because he would soon be able to know the changes on the court and judge what kind of changes Sabella had made.

Of course, Sabella actually only has one change in general direction now. If she doesn't want to continue to defend, she will attack.

Sure enough, soon the La Plata University team on the court began to attack.

Leeds United, on the other hand, still maintains their defensive counterattack tactics and remains unchanged in response to changes.

The Leeds United players seemed to have expected such changes in the players of the Estudiantes of La Plata, so they seemed very, very calm on the court. It is still unshakable, invulnerable to rain, and stable as a mountain.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were a little nervous, as the Estudiantes of La Plata attacked.

Veron, their offense still mainly attacks Veron.

Veron is the brains of this team on the court, which is what Zhong Cheng expected. Therefore, Leeds United is keeping an eye on Veron. Of course, Leeds United players rarely press Veron crazily, but cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

Veron has good strength and rich experience. It is difficult to rush forward crazily and steal the football at his feet. Rather than letting this guy mess up his defense, it would be better to directly cut off the connection between him and his teammates.

Of course, Leeds United wasn't enough to cut off the connection between Veron and all his teammates. What Leeds United cut off was Veron's line of passing the ball forward, preventing Veron from having the opportunity to directly threaten Leeds United's goal.

During this period, Veron was playing very uncomfortable.

Veron's role gradually changed. He was a transfer station, transferring the football to another place, that's all.

Veron has tried the opposite, but with little success.

Leeds United's restrictions on him are very large, which allows Estudiantes to attack from two wings, and it is difficult for the two wings to break through Leeds United's defense.

At this time, the attack of the Estudiantes of La Plata was blocked.

During this period, Leeds United's Sami Khedira, Patrick Evra and Kyle Walker performed very well, especially Sami Khedira, who reduced Veron's role to the lowest point.

At the same time, Leeds United are also looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Sabella was also aware of the danger.

At this time, Sabella made a prompt decision and asked Veron to retreat to the midfielder position to organize the attack. Veron's long pass is still good, and his scheduling ability is also good. He retreated to the midfielder position. On the other hand, it will be difficult for Leeds United to restrict Veron.

If Leeds United really want to limit midfielder Veron, then their formation must move forward and press forward as a whole. In this case, Leeds United's defense will have some loopholes.

Zhong Cheng suddenly turned to Albertini beside him and said: "This Sabella is really a good guy. He reacts quickly and has a lot of work in his hands. He's really good."

Albertini also nodded slightly and said: "His reaction was too fast!"

This is Albertini's truest feeling. Every time he makes a change, this guy is very decisive, which shows that he believes in his own judgment. He is also very decisive. He is like a man who is doing big things. People.

After Veron retreated, Estudiantes' offense became much better and gradually became more of a threat to Leeds United's goal.

"Here, the La Plata Estudiantes attack is coming, and there is still a right wing!" Eddie Gray immediately shouted loudly.

Benitez received Veron's long pass, and Benitez received the ball very well. There was no delay at all. Before the Leeds United defensive players pounced on him, he stopped the ball. Came down. It seems that the Leeds United full-back Patrick Evra rushed forward, and he took advantage of the situation and passed the ball past Patrick Evra.

The excellent basic skills and super imagination of the players in the Argentine League have been demonstrated.

Benitez took advantage of the time difference and passed Patrick Evra directly.

Benitez's speed is not slow, he rushes forward quickly and pretends to bottom. Suddenly a lateral change of direction, cut inside.

Yes, many players in the Argentine League are like this. They are more willing to get closer to the goal and shoot by themselves. Few people choose to cross the ball unless there is a rigid rule from the head coach.

Benitez did not receive any special instructions from Sabella, so he directly took the ball and cut inside laterally.

Benitez originally thought that Leeds United center back Kompany would be caught off guard, but he didn't know that Kompany didn't rush to the wing at all, but was waiting for him to cut inside, as if he knew in advance that he was going to cut inside.

Sabella, who was on the sidelines, shook her head slightly and said: "Crazy Loya really deserves his reputation. He has put in a lot of effort!"

Of course, this is not entirely due to Zhong Cheng, but to Leeds United club data analyst Green Nethercott. He collected all this information and compiled it into a data table.

This data table shows the usual playing style of all the players of Universidad de La Plata. For example, if different players come to the same position, for example, their percentages of going under and cutting inside are different compared to those on the right. , Take the current Benitez as an example. When he reaches this position, the percentage of inside cuts reaches 72%, but the percentage of bottom cuts is only 28%.

These things are all based on measured data. The more basic data, the more accurate the data table will be.

Obviously, Green Nethercott has not disappointed Zhong Cheng so far.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng once said that the current results of Leeds United are really not due to him alone. Many people think this is Zhong Cheng being modest, but this is actually the truth.

Leeds United can be what it is today, and Zhong Cheng can be what it is today, a lot of credit must be attributed to the huge team behind Zhong Cheng, such as team doctor Mark Piaas, assistants Nai Smith and Green Nethercott, etc. .

Zhong Cheng knew how difficult it was to make such a data table. He didn't know how many nights Green Nethercott had to stay up and how many days and nights he had collected data before he came up with it. These are the contributions behind the glory of Leeds United Club, and Zhong Cheng will not treat these people badly.

Now his eyes returned to the court, and Benitez was a little anxious when he saw that Kompany was not fooled.

Because Kompany had already anticipated the opponent and made a judgment, which blocked Benitez's next plan, which made Benitez very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Kompany suddenly stretched out his leg and poked the football out of Benitez's feet.

Benitez was a little flustered and the football was dropped from his feet.

Fortunately, the La Plata Estudiantes team was lucky, and the football fell at Brania's feet.

Brania made a direct diagonal pass, passing the football to the ribs of the Leeds United penalty area.

"Danger, Leeds United is in danger!" Eddie Gray suddenly exclaimed.

The Leeds United fans at the scene suddenly became nervous, staring closely at the stadium, and they were worried about Leeds United.
