Episode [153]: The Collapse of Leeds United Is Imminent

On February 5, 2005, Zhong Cheng, who had a cold, led Leeds United to an away game against Burnley!

In this game, Zhong Cheng did not bring Pique, Gary Kelly, Ribery and others to the away game at all. They stayed in Leeds United to rest, take good care of their bodies, and prepare for the upcoming league games!

In this game, Zhong Cheng's central defender combination is Boumsson and Vermaelen. Vermaelen is growing well now, and his performance is becoming more and more stable. In Zhong Cheng's mind, his order of appearance is even To surpass Bumson's.

Boumsong's defense is still not stable enough. This guy is more than brave but lacks brains. Sometimes he is prone to hot-headedness. This shortcoming is a very big shortcoming in the position of central defender.

This is not in this game, Boumsong is hotheaded again!

In a frontal defense, Boumsong rushed out very fiercely, like a hungry tiger pounced on his prey, but he was swayed by Burnley's striker, and Boomsong did not The only way is to pull down Burnley's striker with a backhand and give the opponent a penalty.

Burnley's striker blasted a shot and slammed the penalty towards Leeds United's goal.

Leeds United goalkeeper Zhong Zheng reacted very quickly. With a side throw, the football was thrown out, and the football bounced back to the penalty area quickly.

Boumsong was very active and rushed back fiercely, shoveling towards the football with a sliding shovel, preventing the Burnley striker from making a follow-up shot. But Burnley's striker volleyed, the football hit Boumsong's feet and changed direction, and the football flew into Leeds United's goal.

This time Zhong Cheng has no choice!

It was because of this conceded goal that Leeds United lost to Burnley in the away game!

The 12-game winning streak of Leeds United has finally come to an end. The entire English Championship is very happy, and the dark cloud of Leeds United has finally been pushed away.

Of course, Burnley, who defeated Leeds United, was even more happy and joyful. They are the king's division that defeated the British Championship, so they are naturally worthy of joy!

━━━Separation line━━━

Leeds United's 12-game winning streak came to an end, but Zhong Cheng didn't feel anything!

The 12-game winning streak is already like a stone on the hearts of Leeds United. It still doesn't seem like an honor, but more like an invisible pressure that makes the Leeds United players always want to continue. To win, they are a little cautious in the game, because they are afraid of losing!

For Zhong Cheng, losing this game may not be a bad thing, at least the psychological pressure of the Leeds United players has been relieved! In this way, they can play lightly in the following leagues!

At this time, the outside media did not think so!

"The losing streak reveals the internal collapse of Leeds United, and Leeds United will never recover from it!" - "Manchester Post"

Gary Arnoldsis said: "Leeds United's internal problems are already very serious. It can be seen from this game that the players are already dissatisfied with the crazy Loya. The league is not as smooth as before, and the integrity is not as good as before, which is already very telling!"

Gary Arnoldsis also said: "In addition, many teams in the English Championship have already studied Leeds United's tactics. Now Leeds United does not have much advantage against the English Championship teams. They want to continue. It is obviously impossible to win like this!"

Gary Arnoldsis finally said: "Leeds United is now on the verge of destruction. They will either collapse, or collapse, or collapse... Yes, crazy Loya can't save Leeds United. Look, Leeds United has always It's going to the English-African league!"

Well, we just sent away a Bradley Wilson, and now another Gary Arnoldsis is here. It seems that the "Manchester Post" is fighting with Zhong Cheng. The "Manchester Post" is fully displaying the revolutionary struggle spirit of never giving up and never giving up. One Bradley Wilson fell, and thousands of Gary Arnoldsis stood up!

Crazy Loya, we, the Manchester Post, have nothing to do with you!

━━━Separation line━━━

"Three consecutive defeats! Leeds United's crisis has struck!" - "London Evening Standard"

"A harbinger of disintegration, Leeds United is about to die!" - "Liverpool Echo"

"Leeds United has come to an end, and the Championship will undergo earth-shaking changes!" - "Mirror"

"Crazy Roja has failed to control Leeds United, and the Blancos are about to be destroyed!" - "The Times"

...

Countless media are reporting on this matter, and many media are throwing insults at the situation, sarcasm and sarcasm Zhong Cheng, they have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time!

Crazy Loya really didn't leave a good impression in the minds of the reporters every day!

The media reporters have analyzed the reasons for the collapse of Leeds United. They pointed all the blame at Zhong Cheng, thinking that the cause of all this is Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng is a completely inexperienced head coach.

In the current situation, Leeds United needs an experienced head coach to escort Leeds United, not a young man like Madman Loya. Crazy Loya is not good at leading an upgraded team at all. He messed up Leeds United. It is no wonder that Leeds United does not collapse!

At this time, under the crazy reports of these media reporters, the fans of Leeds United also felt the crisis. Now Leeds United has lost three games in a row. This is a very dangerous thing.

The fans of Leeds United were very anxious. They all wanted to know what happened to the Leeds United club?

"Injury and FIFA virus attack, Leeds United in short-term crisis!" - "Yorkshire Post"

Kelly Fox also reported on this matter. However, Kelly Fox did not blame Zhong Cheng for Leeds United's consecutive losses. She believed that the reason for Leeds United's performance fluctuations during this period , This is entirely caused by player injuries and the FIFA virus.

Most of Leeds United's players are young players. Their experience is not rich enough, and there is a problem with redistribution of physical fitness. Therefore, they are more prone to fatigue and even injury. These reasons are what led to Leeds United's losing streak. reason.

Of course, this also has a certain relationship with loyalty. Zhong Cheng did not handle this matter well, and did not remind the young players in the team that Zhong Cheng has a certain responsibility.

However, Kelly Fox believes that Leeds United will not collapse!

Zhong Cheng has now increased the intensity of rotation, so that the players of Leeds United have more opportunities to rest and recuperate. Once the players of Leeds United recover, Leeds United will continue to win.

However, Kelly Fox also reminded Zhong Cheng that he must pay attention to this problem in the future, otherwise Leeds United will encounter this problem again. If it comes to the Premier League, it will be very dangerous.

The report of Kelly Fox has been supported and recognized by many people. They think that what Kelly Fox said is very reasonable, unlike some media that completely point the finger at Zhong Cheng, but can't tell why?

Do those media really not know the reason? Obviously not!

Those media are only here to attack Zhong Cheng. They use public opinion to incite the public, put more pressure on Leeds United and Zhong Cheng, and even cause unnecessary troubles to Zhong Cheng and Leeds United. This is their original intention.

These media really be damned!

A week later, Leeds United returned to host Reading, ranked fifth in the league.

The strength of the Reading team is very good. Their current points have reached 51 points, 17 points behind Leeds United. Obviously, it is difficult to catch up with Leeds United. And they are 11 points away from the league's second Ipswich Town team. It is very difficult for them to get a direct promotion.

However, recently Leeds United is out of chaos and trouble, and the Reading people see the hope of grabbing points. So in this game, they are full of confidence and energy, ready to fight Leeds United to the end.

In this game, the Reading team played with all the main players, and they wanted to grab three points away.

As for Leeds United, Zhong Cheng sent Pique, Ribéry and Gary Kelly who had rested in the last battle. The central defenders became Pique and Vermaelen, and Boumsson sat on the bench. at the table.

At the beginning of this game, Leeds United scored a goal. Ribery, who had a truce for a game, suddenly drew his knife and came directly from the wing to pass three people in a row, and then shot from the far corner with one kick. Reading's team led one to zero.

This made the Leeds United fans very happy and excited.

Zhong Cheng also waved his fist, Leeds United should be normal.

However, the next scene was a sudden change. The Reading team scored two goals in three minutes and overtook the score. Scott Carson, who returned from injury today, performed very unsatisfactorily. The shots weren't great, but the goal was scored.

Zhong Cheng covered his face with his hands, how could this be?

In the end, in this league game, Leeds United lost to Reading, ushered in a four-game losing streak in recent games, and also a two-game losing streak in the league!

Franck Ribery's wonderful goal, but failed to save the savior!

The thirty-second round of the league is over. Leeds United, who have lost two games in a row, is still firmly at the top of the English Championship. Their points have reached 68 points, which has not changed. And ranked second in the league is Ipswich Town, and now their points have reached 65 points, only three points behind Leeds United!

Dangerous, this is really dangerous for Leeds United!

Ranked third and fourth in the league, Wigan Athletic and Sunderland have the same 60 points, and they are still 8 points behind Leeds United at the top of the league table. This gap is still a bit big. But with Leeds United's current level and state, this point difference is not safe.

The Reading team, which defeated Leeds United in this round, is ranked fifth in the league with 54 points. Ranked sixth in the league is Preston with 52 points, which is the current situation of the promotion zone.

Currently, Leeds United leads seventh-placed West Ham United by 17 points. This point difference is very large. Although there are still 14 rounds left in the league, Leeds United should be able to qualify for a promotion play-off.

However, it is obvious that Zhong Cheng does not want to qualify for the play-offs, what Zhong Cheng wants is to win the championship and upgrade!

However, the recent situation of Leeds United is really not ideal. At this time, the outside media were frantically reporting the news that Leeds United had collapsed, and they all claimed that Leeds United was doomed.

Some thoughtful people even claimed that the lunatic Loya could no longer control Leeds United, and Leeds United would be doomed now!

Next, Leeds United will usher in a fierce battle. They will go to an away game to challenge the third-ranked Wigan Athletic. Almost all media believe that Leeds United will definitely lose this game!
