Episode【505】: Leeds United’s Huge Crisis
In this game, Leeds United is playing at their home court, and now they are waiting for their opponents.
However, Leeds United are not waiting for work.
After all, Leeds United had just flown in from Italy, and the long journey had a great impact on the Leeds United players. Moreover, Leeds United will face a life-and-death battle with Inter Milan in the middle of next week. What kind of adjustments will Leeds United make in this weekend's league? Will they hold anything back?
Therefore, at this time, Leeds United may not have a big advantage playing at home.
Leeds United's three lines are now a bit open. The physical fitness of the Leeds United players must be a bit exhausted. Can Leeds United withstand the next game?
Yes, Leeds United fans are now worried about the physical condition of Leeds United players.
The players of Leeds United are very strong, but if there is a problem with their physical fitness, it will not help no matter how strong the players of Leeds United are.
Therefore, what Zhong Cheng is most concerned about now is the physical condition of Leeds United players.
Zhong Cheng came to the coach's office of Leeds United, and he directly found Canales, the physical coach of Leeds United. He asked, "Hey, man, how are our guys doing physically?"
Canales shook his head slightly and said, "The situation is actually not ideal!"
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. Since Canales said so, this situation must be bad.
Zhong Cheng immediately paid attention to it, stared at Canales closely, and asked directly for a while: "What is the specific situation? You can tell me in detail!"
Canales went straight to work and found a piece of information. He handed it to Zhong Cheng and said, "The overall physical condition of our team is actually not good now."
Zhong Cheng finished browsing the information and listened to Canales' report.
Canales immediately said: "We have too many competition tasks this season, and the front line is too spread out. Although there is rotation, overall our physical consumption is much greater than other teams. of."
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, he knew this.
Canales continued: "Some of the team's current main players have physical problems and they need to continue to rest. If they continue to play, it will affect their state and even the game. the result of."
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and immediately asked, "Who are you referring to?"
Canales immediately said: "The more serious one is naturally Cristiano Ronaldo. There is no doubt about his strength and his physical fitness is also very good. But this season he played a lot of games, and he still appeared in the middle. Although he has recovered from a serious injury, it still has an impact on him!"
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, and he knew this.
Zhong Cheng felt that there was a problem with Cristiano Ronaldo, and it was really a big problem.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo has a very good mental and will quality, he is also a very hard-working guy. But now he is really tired, and his performance in recent games has not been as good as the same period in previous seasons.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is also very powerful now.
However, Zhong Cheng knew that Cristiano Ronaldo urgently needed a rest. If he didn't rest, Cristiano Ronaldo might collapse in the next game.
Canales immediately said: "I suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo be given a rest in this game, and not even let him play in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals next week. In this case, the Premier League will be better this season. In the last two rounds, he was able to start the game and was in good condition."
Of course Zhong Cheng also knows that it is best to do this.
However, these two games are very, very important for Leeds United now.
If Leeds United loses this round of games, then it means nothing to Leeds United to ensure that they win the next two games. Because now Leeds United really can't afford to lose a game.
Canales naturally knew this, but he still said these words because these are his job. He had to remind Zhong Cheng of these things. As for what decision Zhong Cheng made, that was Zhong Cheng's business.
Canales is only responsible for speaking out about problems, and it is Zhong Cheng who makes the decisions.
Zhong Cheng was lost in thought. Cristiano Ronaldo is very important to Leeds United. Should Cristiano Ronaldo start these two games?
Zhong Cheng was thinking about this question, but at this time Zhong Cheng continued to ask: "So, does Mr. Canales have any other questions?"
Canales nodded immediately and said: "Yes, boss, there are still some serious problems."
Zhong Cheng immediately raised his head and stared at Canales. Canales stared at Zhong Cheng seriously and said calmly: "Kompany also seems to have some problems in the defense line of our formation. It seems that it is the old The injury has recurred and affected his mobility. This problem is very serious."
Zhong Cheng was slightly startled and nodded slightly.
Yes, the problem of the team's central defender is a really serious problem. Such a problem occurs at such a critical moment. This is really terrible and unlucky for Leeds United.
However, Canales' words were not over yet. He continued: "And David Luiz seems to have some physical problems. I think you should ask Mark to check him out, just in case. The safest!"
And in addition to these, Canales also reported many minor problems to him.
Zhong Cheng frowned. He really didn't expect that Leeds United still had so many problems. It seems that it is really, really difficult for Leeds United to achieve amazing results this season.
After Canales reported these issues to Zhong Cheng, he then made some suggestions. In the end, he stopped disturbing Zhong Cheng and left these problems to Zhong Cheng himself to solve.
Zhong Cheng was really worried at this time. This problem was really too complicated.
Next, these two games can be said to be the top priority for Leeds United, and there cannot be any problems. But Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Kompany and David Luiz all have some problems. These people are the key. If there is a problem, it will have a very big impact on Leeds United. It's big.
At this time, Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and was thinking.
Albertini also frowned next to him. These two games are really important for Leeds United. If these three people are missing all of a sudden, Leeds United's two games will be really difficult. It's hanging.
Suddenly, Zhong Cheng asked Albertini: "Demi, what do you think we should do now? Are Chris and the others still coming?"
Zhong Cheng just asked casually. To be honest, he still had to make his own decisions on these issues.
Albertini was slightly startled when he heard Zhong Cheng's question. It was obvious that he did not expect Zhong Cheng to ask him a question. Albertini quickly reacted and said immediately: "Boss, I think we really can't miss these people in these two games. Maybe we can grit our teeth and let them play. Even if there is a problem in the end, it will be worth it. As long as these two games are won, Leeds United will have a chance later. If they lose these two games, even if they have healthy Cristiano Ronaldo and Kompany in the later games, they will have another chance. What does that mean?"
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, understanding what Albertini meant.
Albertini's proposal is to take a risk and directly let Cristiano Ronaldo and the others play to ensure victory in these two games. As long as they win these two games, Leeds United will have a chance in the following games. And the subsequent games were relatively easy. At that time, even if Cristiano Ronaldo and the others had problems, Leeds United still had a chance.
Zhong Cheng was carefully considering Albertini's proposal. To be honest, it was a pretty good proposal. However, this may not be such a good thing for Cristiano Ronaldo and Kompany.
Because if they do this at this time, it may affect their future careers.
Because when the body is so exhausted, it is very easy to get injured. Moreover, these people tend to have old injuries relapse. If a major injury occurs at this time, it may affect their future careers or even terminate their careers.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng is very cautious and suffering at this time.
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Let me think about it first, and I will make a decision later!"
Albertini also knows that as a head coach, he has the right to make decisions. Of course, this pressure is also very high, because they are related to the life safety and careers of many people.
Albertini nodded slightly, and then prepared to leave time to Zhong Cheng.
However, when he was about to leave, Albertini suddenly turned around and said: "Boss, if you really can't make a decision, I think you can still talk to the players themselves and see what their own thoughts are."
Zhong Cheng's eyes lit up, Albertini's idea was a good one.
Zhong Cheng thought this should be a very good idea now. Zhong Cheng nodded towards Albertini and said, "Don't worry, we will talk to them!"
Yes, these things can actually be decided by the players themselves.
Of course, Zhong Cheng actually hopes that they can consider their careers. After all, there are many opportunities to win the league championship. There is still a long career in the future, and there are many opportunities to win championships. But if something goes wrong with your body, it will be really, really difficult, and you will regret it very much.
Zhong Cheng still hoped in his heart that these people should call a truce and recover from their injuries.
However, Albertini is right to say that it is up to the players themselves to decide this matter.
Zhong Cheng finally found these three people and asked them what they thought.
As Zhong Cheng had guessed before, these three people all said that there were no problems. They were all able to play in this game, and they also hoped to be able to play. They can overcome all the current problems, the league title and the Champions League title are the most important.
Hearing what these three people said, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and understood what these three people were thinking.
