Episode [038]: The First Warm-Up Match of the New Season

Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines of the stables training ground and shouted loudly: "Get moving, you have had a good holiday. I hope you are not overweight, otherwise you will be waiting to go to hell!"

On the training ground, the players of Leeds United wailed.

The players of Leeds United couldn't help but turned their heads and glanced at Canales who was leading them in training, each of them muttering in their hearts: "We are in hell now, okay, boss?"

For Leeds United players, Canales is hell!

Originally, they thought that Ortega's training was already very devilish, but what they didn't expect was that Canales had a darker butt, and he was all black.

Perhaps Canales wanted to make some achievements to prove himself, or he wanted to get rid of the reputation and aura of his teacher. This guy is extremely serious in training, and he is even more devilish in training. This is a pain for the players of Leeds United.

The new players obviously couldn't keep up and were as tired as dead dogs.

Luca Toni and others were stunned. Leeds United's physical reserve training is really too ruthless. No wonder Leeds United's physical fitness is so good. It turned out to be so fortunate. It seems that no success is easy. Maybe everyone saw the glory and magic of Leeds United winning the championship, but his family did not see them come back silently behind their backs.

Luca Tony and others gritted their teeth and persisted, unwilling to fall behind.

Canales said directly at this time: "New players, you can take a break for a while. When you first come to Leeds United, you must be a little out of step with the rhythm of Leeds United. When you come up, you will be so fierce. Your health is not good, you can rest early today!"

Luca Tony and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that they would pass out if they continued to practice.

At this time, Luca Toni and others understood that the devil training of their team in the past was simply scum, and they would feel blush if they were called a devil training. After that, the training of Leeds United was the real devil training.

However, it's good now, they can reflect the rest.

However, Luca Toni and the others have not been happy for long, and they heard Canales' words again: "Although you have been able to rest early in the recent period. But I hope to see your progress every day, and then come back in a very short period of time." Keep up with us, you know? You've got less than a week!"

The two Nassers of Luca Toni and others collapsed in an instant, my God, you are so deadly.

Luca Toni is not young anymore, this training can't even be tolerated by young people like Gareth Bale and Edinson Cavani, let alone Luca Toni. Moreover, Edinson Cavani is very physically fit, he can't run to death, but when he first came into contact with the devilish physical training of Leeds United, he couldn't bear it.

This shows the beginning of the devil in Canales.

Di Matteo took these people to rest, and Canales continued to train with other Leeds United players. And Rogers came to Zhong Cheng's side, he handed over the information in his hand, and said: "Boss, these little bastards are still very conscious, none of them are overweight, very good!"

Zhong Cheng looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help nodding, these guys are not bad.

Zhong Cheng smiled lightly and said: "Okay, these boys are so self-conscious, it seems that they have to be rewarded in the future. Of course, not now, the most important thing is for them to reserve physical fitness, and the new season is very important to us !"

Rogers nodded, expressing his understanding.

In the next week of training, Leeds United continued their devil training, one by one was very fortunate, Luca Toni and the others completely took off a layer of skin, Luca Toni entered professional football for so long For the first time, he was so tired and so lucky.

However, after surviving this week, he himself felt his growth.

Afterwards, Zhong Cheng led the Leeds United players to Belgium, where they also started their pre-season training and warm-up.

After flying to Belgium, it was natural that people from the Ghent club came to receive Leeds United. The first warm-up match for Leeds United in Belgium was against Ghent. Ghent is a satellite club of Leeds United. There are some players in Leeds United who play for Gent, such as Hulk and David Luiz.

Moreover, Joel Luka, Yaya Toure and others who came back from the Netherlands on loan also came to the Ghent club and joined Leeds United here. Joel Luka has been loaned to Ajax for two years, and his growth is still very good. But there is no place for him in Leeds United.

You see, Leeds United currently have Piqué, Vermaelen, Kompany, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic in the central defender position, and David Luiz is waiting here , Joel Luka really has no chance.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng is going to send Joel Luka away.

However, Zhong Cheng is not in a hurry now. He loaned Joel Luka to Ajax for three years, and Joel Luka can stay in Ajax for another year. If Joel Luka's growth is very large in another year, he still has a chance to stay in Leeds United.

However, it is still difficult for Joel Luka to grab opportunities to play with Pique, Vermaelen, Kompany and Gary Cahill now. However, Joel Luka can still be raised for one more year, and he will not be able to buy a good price in the future!

When they came to Ghent Club, Zhong Cheng led the team to train for two days, and then they played a warm-up match with Ghent Club. The weather was a bit hot that day. The game that was supposed to be played in the afternoon was postponed until the evening.

It was a little cooler in the evening, but still a little hot.

However, the game must also be played. After all, this is how the game is played. In the future, such weather will also be encountered in the league or other games. This is also meaningful for simulation.

Zhong Cheng formed a 4132 formation today, and the starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [left to right]: Gareth Bale, Vermaelen, Gary Cahill and Sagna

Single midfielder: Mascherano

Three forwards [left to right]: Moussa Dembele, Modric and Joaquin

Twin forwards: Luca Toni and Carlos Tevez

This is a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes. Moreover, there are players from Leeds United who participated in the World Cup finals who have not returned. They are still on vacation. This lineup is actually not bad.

As for the Ghent club, they sent their main lineup. Zhong Cheng saw Courtois, De Bruyne, Hulk, David Luiz and others in the Ghent club's squad. It seems that Ivan de White, the chairman of the Ghent club, has listened to his words. He has made a round in Belgium and brought some young players who mentioned Zhong Cheng to his own club. .

Because these people are still very young, so they will be so easy to put. Perhaps today, Ivan de White placed Courtois and De Bruyne on the bench just to let Zhong Cheng see the means of their Ghent club.

To be honest, I was a little surprised to see Courtois and De Bruyne's mid-tier at the Ghent club. They actually recruited these people, which is very, very good and perfect.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United did not perform as well as everyone expected. Maybe there were a lot of newcomers, so it seemed a bit chaotic on the court, with frequent pass errors. On the contrary, the two new aids Joaquin and Luca Toni cooperated best, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

It seems that Joaquin and Luca Toni are really a perfect match.

However, it was not Leeds United who scored first, but Ghent Club.

David Luiz from the backcourt of the Ghent club directly launched a counterattack with a long pass and found the Hulk Hulk on the wing. Hulk stopped the ball with his chest, then cut directly inside, swayed Sagna, and took the ball horizontally. The ball, and a direct shot from outside the penalty area, blasted a world wave and broke through the goal guarded by Zhong Cheng.

Last season, both Hulk and David Luiz performed very well in the League One. Hulk became the top scorer in the League One, while David Luiz became the top scorer in the League One. The best rookie in the League One, these two almost supported the entire Ghent team and became the new thighs of the Ghent team.

You see, it was Hulk who scored today and David Luiz who assisted.

Because they have tried this kind of routine many, many times in the League One, that's why they trained like this. Leeds United were caught off guard.

Rogers was pleasantly surprised: "Boss, these two are very good. It's only one season, and the two have improved so much. I'm afraid they are already top in the League One. Will they continue to stay here?" Will there be any growth?"

Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "Their strength may be great, but they have not become top players in terms of price comparison. They are still too young and can still accumulate experience here. Next season, the Gent team will have the UEFA Cup to play. , This is still very helpful for their growth!"

Hearing this, Rogers nodded. If that's the case, it's good for the two of them to stay here, because he couldn't find a more suitable place than here, and the most important thing is that it can help the two of them get labor certificates.

To be honest, some people in European football are now interested in Hulk and David Luiz. Hulk is much better than Dongfang Zhuo. Manchester United's Dongfang Zhuo is just the top scorer in League Two, while Hulk is the top scorer in League One. More importantly, Hulk The body is extremely strong, and the future is bright.

In this game, Hulk also performed very well, causing a lot of trouble for Sagna and Gareth Bale, and Leeds United also had constant troubles.

However, at the end of the first half, Leeds United still equalized the score.

Joaquin made a cross from the wing, and Luca Toni in the center jumped high and scored with a header, one to one.

In the second half of the game, Zhong Cheng changed a lot of people, Zhong Zheng was replaced by Mignolet, Mascherano was replaced by Nigel de Jong, Dembele was replaced by Olic, Carlos Tevez It was replaced by Darren Bent.

And Joaquin and Luca Toni stayed on the field. These two will definitely be the main players in the new season. Zhong Cheng gave them more time and opportunities to adapt, hoping that they can integrate into Leeds United faster. in the tactical system.
