Episode [379]: It Seems that There Is No Preparation

The twenty-ninth round was over, and Leeds United regained their image in an instant.

In this round of competition, they beat Bolton 5-1 and overthrew Allardyce directly.

Allardyce clamored crazily before the game, claiming that he could organize Leeds United and make Leeds United never recover from a slump. He is confident that Zhong Cheng can't take care of himself, and he is full of confidence before the game.

However, Allardyce was shameless.

Allardyce didn't even show up for the postgame press conference, stunned.

What Zhong Cheng didn't expect was that on the second day, Allardyce was directly fired by the Bolton team. Yes, fired, not Allardyce resigned. It can be seen that Bolton is very dissatisfied with Allardyce, and doesn't care about Allardyce's mood and situation at all.

When Allardyce dismissed get out of class at this time, it was obvious that he was severely slapped in the face by Zhong Cheng, to the point where he could never lift his head up. However, Bolton's side really did this, which really doesn't save any sympathy.

The fans of the Bolton team were very happy, they applauded and supported the team's actions, and very much supported Allardyce's dismissal.

The fans of Bolton team left messages on their official website to celebrate, and they still lined up in the form of a team. The formation was kept very neat and very good. This posture is simply celebrating, which is to know how unpopular Allardyce is.

It seems that when Bolton was eliminated from the UEFA Cup, the officials of the Bolton club and the fans of the Bolton team were very dissatisfied with him. And Zhong Cheng became the last straw that crushed Allardyce.

Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy to see the news. He wished he could give a thumbs up to the fans led by Bolton. We want to give you a thumbs up.

And at this time, those good media reporters actually found Zhong Cheng, and came to report Zhong Cheng's views on Allardyce's dismissal.

Zhong Cheng really convinced these media reporters, Zhong Cheng raised his hands and gave thumbs up in his heart, this time won my heart!

Facing the questions from the media reporters, Zhong Cheng said directly: "Obviously, I think the Bolton fans have done a great job, and the Bolton executives have done a very good job. A bully like Allardyce, Should have been resigned long ago, not even allowed to manage Bolton team, what else is a guy like that but bragging?"

The media reporters' eyes were wide open. They really didn't expect Zhong Cheng to be so down-to-earth?

My God, this is a direct tear, awesome!

This is obviously what the media reporters are most willing to see. Many people are too happy to speak. Today is really worth it.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Obviously, you will die if you speak big words, and you will die miserably. Allardyce was obviously trying to die before. I hope that comrades in the future will not learn from Allardyce. In the future, they will still speak Be careful!"

After answering this question, Zhong Cheng turned around directly and ignored it!

After dealing with this matter, Zhong Cheng didn't pay attention to Allardyce at all, and Zhong Cheng focused on the upcoming UEFA Cup round of 16 knockout rounds.

Yes, in the middle of next week, the UEFA Cup round of 16 will come.

This time, Leeds United's opponent is a team that has always been very strong, Real Betis.

Last season, Real Betis was a team that participated in the UEFA Champions League, and their strength is very unfamiliar. And this season, they came to the UEFA Cup, and they were also eliminated from the UEFA Champions League this season. They are relatively good in the UEFA Cup.

Therefore, this team is quite challenging for Leeds United.

In the last round, Real Betis drew with Akmaia 2-2, and finally defeated their opponent 1-0 in overtime, and finally advanced with a total score of 3-2.

This game is very important for both teams, and they must win.

This game is the home game of Leeds United. Real Betis has now come to Leeds. They are full of confidence in this game.

Real Betis coach Ipuerta said: "In this game, our opponent is the powerful Leeds United. Their strength is very strong. This is a very difficult thing for us. This is still the home ground of Leeds United, this game is a test for us, a very strong test!"

Ipuerta also said: "Of course, we also came to the away game with the confidence to win. We have done a lot of research on Leeds United. Loya is a very, very, very capable player. Coach, his journey is simply a dream, to be honest, I admire him very much, if I am not the head coach of Real Betis, I would admire him very much!"

The media reporters were shocked, and they didn't expect that Ipuerta would say such a thing.

Ipuerta continued: "To be honest, Leeds United is very difficult to deal with. But what I want to say is that we will definitely go all out, we will definitely go all out. In this game, we We will definitely beat Leeds United, and we will face this game with the best condition, because this is our greatest respect for them!"

Ipuerta has made it very clear that they are full of confidence in this game.

Real Betis came with a very fierce fighting spirit, and they came to win. This game must be a game full of gunpowder.

The media reporters flocked to Zhong Cheng, and they interviewed Zhong Cheng one after another.

Zhong Cheng faced the media reporters, and he said this: "Yes, Real Betis has achieved very good results in recent seasons. They are a very strong team. This is very important for our Leeds United team. It is a very big challenge for them, because they are a team from Spain, their tactics are very characteristic, and they attach great importance to technology, which poses a great threat to us!"

The media reporters nodded one after another. It seems that Zhong Cheng still sees it very clearly!

Zhong Cheng continued to make a hole in the tree: "This game is our home game, and we have already made preparations. Our opponents are exhausted and travel long distances, which has a great impact on their state, and They played in the league last weekend, they must be very tired, we have a lot of opportunities!"

Zhong Cheng is telling the truth, he is very confident in himself!

To be honest, every game now is very confident that Zhong Cheng will come to the capital.

Although, in the current league, Chelsea has expanded the score by three points, but the three-point gap is not very big. Leeds United has a good chance to catch up with the point difference, and even overtake Chelsea. Because later, there will be a direct confrontation between the two teams. Perhaps this game will be the game that will determine the title of the Premier League champion this season.

Now, Zhong Cheng is not thinking about the league, he is still thinking about the UEFA Cup.

Now that the UEFA Cup has progressed, Zhong Cheng naturally hopes to lead the team to achieve better results, and even directly win the UEFA Cup this season.

If this is the case, then Leeds United will make history. They are the first team to win the UEFA Cup as newly promoted teams, and Zhong Cheng's name will always be engraved in the historical memory of the UEFA Cup middle.

Zhong Cheng said in front of the media reporters: "For this game, our Leeds United team will definitely go all out. This game, we will definitely win, definitely!"

Zhong Cheng is full of confidence, just like any game he plays!

At this moment, the fans of Leeds United cheered excitedly. Because their home game against Real Betis has already started, and players from both sides appeared in the stadium.

Zhong Cheng's formation today is 4-2-3-1, and the starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Back four [from left to right]: Evra, Gary Cahill, Pique and Sagna

Double midfielder: Maniche and Nigel de Jong

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Ribery, Modric, Dembele

Solo striker: Huntelaar

Yes, Huntelaar, who is still in suspension, appeared in the starting list for this game. Huntelaar cannot play in the Premier League, but he can play in the UEFA Cup.

Moreover, in the few games he played, Huntelaar, who was holding back his energy, performed very well, which made Zhong Cheng a little tempted, so he simply let Huntelaar play in the UEFA Cup, Let Crespo play in the league.

However, Zhong Cheng has not made up his mind yet, he is still hesitating and considering.

Crespo's state in the last league game was not very good. After all, his state has been improving for so long, and it is normal to have a little ups and downs. However, Zhong Cheng still doesn't know what Crespo will look like in the next game. He is going to take a look.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United still focused on defensive counterattacks.

To be honest, in terms of defensive tactics, the current Leeds United and the later Simeone's Atletico Madrid are very similar, all because of Ortega. But this Leeds United team also has a lot of Zhong Cheng's own characteristics, and it is also something that Zhong Cheng learns from everyone's strengths.

When facing Real Betis, Leeds United's defense caused a lot of trouble for Real Betis. Teams from La Liga, after all, their tactical characteristics are mainly ball possession and passing. Their feet are very flexible, but their physical confrontation is worse.

Especially in the face of Leeds United's full defensive pressure and very high physical confrontation, Real Betis really can't stand it.

When the offensive players of Real Betis overwhelmed the frontcourt, they were directly squeezed back by the players of Leeds United. In terms of physical confrontation, they were completely blown out.

At this time, Ipueta frowned tightly, Leeds United is really difficult to deal with.

Leeds United's tactics seem to be specially designed to restrain La Liga teams, which makes Ipuerta horrified, and at the same time full of worries about this game, they have no confidence.

Yes, this tactic really restrains the La Liga teams.

Just like the Atletico Madrid team of later generations in La Liga, they are so unique and unique. In La Liga, they really have a bit of a crushing attitude, and they are more restrained in La Liga's tactics, which allows them to achieve good results.

But now, in the face of Leeds United's tactics, Ipueta does not seem to have much preparation.
