Although, the recent reputation of Leeds United is not very good. Leeds United's signings are terrible, but Leeds United fans still support Leeds United. Last season, Leeds United gave them a very, very dreamy journey. Even if Leeds United were really relegated this season, they would not leave. Never give up.

However, Leeds United fans still hope that Leeds United will perform well in the new season.

In the stands, Leeds United fans collectively chanted a sentence that Zhong Cheng once said: "We are rich! We are rich! We are rich!"

The fans of Leeds United were very imposing, and the sound seemed to be overwhelming, making Liverpool fans feel a sense of suffocation.

Leeds United fans themselves feel extremely excited and proud, and their voices are even louder and more excited.

When he came to the sidelines, Zhong Cheng was also very excited when he heard these words.

It turns out that he is not the only one who remembers this, all the fans of Leeds United remember it.

Zhong Cheng immediately turned around and waved his palm excitedly towards these Leeds United fans, thanking these Leeds United fans for their continuous support. Without them, Leeds United would not have come to where it is today.

Although, when Zhong Cheng first took over the Leeds United fans, the Leeds United fans stood on the opposite side of Zhong Cheng and fiercely opposed Zhong Cheng. But what about now? These people supported him wholeheartedly and became his most loyal supporters and fans.

Regardless of previous suspicions, these people wholeheartedly supported, and Zhong Cheng felt more responsibility and gratitude in his heart!

"Let's climb to the top of the giants together!" Zhong Cheng stared at the Leeds United fans in the stands, and said solemnly in his heart.

Although, Leeds United fans can't hear it at this time. But Zhong Cheng engraved this sentence in his heart.

Zhong Cheng immediately turned around, staring at the court with piercing eyes.

At this time, Liverpool coach Benitez came over. At this time, Benitez was not as fat as later generations, and he was still a little fat and handsome.

With a smile on his face, Benitez walked up to Zhong Cheng, stretched out his right hand to Zhong Cheng, and said, "Mr. Loya, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Zhong Cheng held Benitez's right hand with his right hand and said, "Mr. Champion Coach, I am also very happy to meet you!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the game was about to start.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two turned around directly and returned to their respective positions.

Before, Zhong Cheng and Benitez also had some grievances, but at this time, the two feel pretty good, and it seems that they have not been affected by the previous ones.

However, there was a heated confrontation between Leeds United and Liverpool. This game is no less than a derby. Even Liverpool fans think that this is more unacceptable than the Merseyside derby and kills Leeds United.

There were also very, very many Liverpool fans at the scene today, directly filling the entire stadium.

The Liverpool fans hadn't fought with the Leeds United fans yet, and they were singing together, the song they would never get tired of singing - "You'll Never Walk Alone"! The atmosphere at the scene is very hot, and the game is about to start.

━━━Separation line━━━

Zhong Cheng sat on the coach's bench and watched the stadium quietly.

Players from both sides have come out of the locker room and are now standing on the court. Everyone knows the starting list of both sides in Tainan today.

Team: Liverpool, Coach: Benitez, Formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Reina

Back four [from left to right]: Riise, Agger, Carragher and Finnan

The midfield four [left to right]: Kewell, Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Pennant

Two forwards: Crouch and Kevin Dirk

This is Liverpool's starting lineup for this game. Obviously this is not their absolute main lineup, but it is obvious that this lineup is already very strong. On their bench are Zenden, Arbeloa, Bellamy and Luis Garcia and other good players. Liverpool really deserves to be the team that won the UEFA Champions League a year ago, and its strength is very strong.

Yes, Luis Garcia and Zenden did not start today, which is beyond the expectations of many people.

Could it be that Benitez is preparing to strike late and launch a general attack in the second half of the game?

At this time, the fans of the Liverpool team were chanting Gerrard's name, shouting frantically, supporting their captain, allowing the captain to attack fiercely and kill Leeds United.

Team: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [from left to right]: Evra, Vermaelen, Kompany and Sagna

Single midfielder: Mascherano

Zhong Cheng [from left to right]: Franck Ribery, Modric and Joaquin

Forwards: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani

Leeds United's starting lineup also exceeded everyone's expectations. First of all, on the defense line, Kompany, newly introduced by Leeds United, appeared in the starting lineup. Gary Cahill, who played the main force in the second half of last season, sat on the bench. He didn't even enter the big list.

This really surprised everyone, what exactly is Zhong Cheng going to do? Or, is Kompany really good? However, in the previous warm-up match, Kompany really didn't play much.

Let Kompany play today, what is the reason for this?

Everyone can't understand. What they don't even understand is how Sagna started the right back instead of Gary Kelly? Gary Kelly is a living fossil of Leeds United.

The Leeds United fans were chanting Gary Kelly's name in unison.

On the midfielder line, Javier Mascherano, who is on loan in the new season, is the starter. Last season's main force, Nigel De Jong, was on the bench. Song was also under pressure, and Diaby did not enter. big list.

Is Zhong Cheng going to change the main lineup?

There are no accidents on the forward line, and there are also accidents on the forward line, big accidents.

Carlos Tevez did not appear in the starting lineup and squad, everyone had expected. But Darren Bent, who performed very well in the warm-up match, didn't start? What about starting a young player who is worse than Bi Weiss? Crazy Loya is indeed crazy.

Leeds United's starting lineup is really beyond the expectations of too many people.

The commentators of the BBC in this game were all surprised by Zhong Cheng's changes. What exactly is Zhong Cheng going to do in this game?

━━━Separation line━━━

beep!

The referee blew the whistle to start the game. At this time, the fans of both sides put their voices into their throats, shouting loudly to cheer for their teams. At this time, the game had just started, and the fans on both sides were full of energy. When they roared, the entire stadium trembled.

The fans of both sides have not seen the official game of their own team for a long time, and they are panicked. All of them howled excitedly like wild animals just released from their cages.

The players on both sides have to get used to the rhythm of the official game.

The players of the Liverpool team are better. Many of their lineup participated in the World Cup in Germany that just passed. The Leeds United team is different. There are not many people who have participated in the World Cup. Therefore, the players of the Leeds United team have to find the rhythm and feel of the game.

The Liverpool team was very fierce when they came up and overwhelmed halftime.

Liverpool's offense is still on the side, using the midfielder's inverted foot, and then quickly walking on the side, directly dribbling the ball, or directly finding the players on the front line.

To be honest, Benitez's tactical style is not like this, but this is how they played today.

Obviously, Benitez has made sufficient preparations. They changed this style just to catch Leeds United by surprise.

But Leeds United is still playing according to the tactics of last season, defending and counterattacking.

The players of Leeds United kept their defense very tight, and the formation was compressed into a 4-4-1-1. Only Luca Toni remained at the front, waiting for his chance to fight back.

Al Edinson Cavani's range of activities is very large, he is frantically pressing in the midfield and running without hesitation. To be honest, he was a great threat to the Liverpool players and caused a lot of trouble.

However, Liverpool's offense is still very sharp.

Kewell from the wing suddenly made a pass and sent the football into the Leeds United penalty area. The football flew to the back point and went directly to Crouch, the high point in the penalty area.

Crouch is very tall, reaching two meters. But his foot skills are very good, not at all like a two-meter player. But his header is his weakness and this is really a very special player.

Even with such good conditions, he actually disabled himself.

However, this time Crouch hit the football and made a very good shot. The football flew towards the back post of the goal.

The fans of Leeds United jumped up, in a very bad mood.

In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng's reaction was very fast, his whole body flew sideways immediately, and directly slapped the football out of the baseline with one palm. Crouch covered his face with his hands, couldn't believe it was real?

Zhong Zheng had lingering fears, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Thomas followed that tall guy, don't give him a chance, understand?"

Vermaelen immediately raised his right hand and signaled to Zhong Zheng that he had heard it.

Zhong Zheng nodded, and then he turned around to remind the Leeds United defenders that they must not take it lightly and be serious. Liverpool is very good. You can't be distracted at all, otherwise, Leeds United will be in danger.

Corner kick, Liverpool won the corner kick.

Kewell walked to the corner area. Everyone thought he was going to serve a high ball. This guy suddenly kicked the football out. The full-back Riise rushed up, grabbed the football and immediately swung the ball horizontally, and then swept the football away. Into the Leeds United penalty area.

There was chaos in the penalty area, and in the chaos Vermaelen stretched his legs to make a clearance. Unexpectedly, the football rubbed Vermaelen's outstretched right leg and changed direction, and it rolled straight into the back corner of the goal.
