Episode [137]: It's a Pre-Match Mobilization Meeting

When he returned to the team, Zhong Cheng had only one day to lead the team.

On this day, Zhong Cheng was not able to increase the volume of the Leeds United players, because the next day was the highlight of the game, and he had to ensure the physical condition of the Leeds United players.

Therefore, in this day's training, the training volume of Leeds United was very low.

Zhong Cheng always reminds the Leeds United players in training to pay attention to grasping the weaknesses of Manchester United, and at the same time, the defense must pay attention to Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. Now these two post-85 players are about to rise up and dominate the game.

The players of Leeds United are training hard, and they don't want to lose this game.

Leeds United players have an ideal in mind, that is to defend the Premier League champions, and this season is a good opportunity.

Now they are very, very far behind Manchester United. In this direct match with Manchester United, they really can't afford to lose.

The players of Leeds United are very serious and are preparing for this game.

At this time, Zhong Cheng found Ribery.

Since the beginning of this season, Ribery has been in a very bad state and has not recovered. Zhong Cheng had approached Ribery many times before, but his state still hadn't adjusted.

This game is very critical. Zhong Cheng hopes that Ribery can recover, so that they will have a better chance of winning against Manchester United.

Franck Ribery sat opposite Zhong Cheng, he knew why Zhong Cheng called him over?

To be honest, Ribery himself is very anxious now.

Now the outside world is calling Ribery a "shooting star". These media reporters claim that after this season, Ribery will disappear before everyone's eyes. He couldn't survive in the Premier League, not even the Championship, so he had to go back to play in the amateur league.

Of course, such a statement is very irresponsible.

Ribery has the strength, otherwise how could he perform so well on the stage of the World Cup? However, there are indeed many meteors in this world. They are also capable, but they have not been kicked out for some reasons.

Zhong Cheng knows about Ribery. Ribery is definitely not a shooting star, he is a superstar!

Zhong Cheng said directly: "Frank, how are you feeling recently?"

Franck Ribery stared at Zhong Cheng and said: "Boss, my current condition is much better than at the beginning of the league. Although I have not yet recovered to my best condition, I am at least 70% to 80% now!"

Yes, Ribery is serious about this and he is not lying.

Recently, Franck Ribery's state is indeed picking up, but the recovery is a bit slow, Zhong Cheng and the coaching staff have also seen it.

Zhong Cheng nodded and said: "Well, this is very good! You know, we are about to play against the Red Devils Manchester United. This game is very important to us. I hope you can show your strength in this game. 100% effort, because we can't afford to lose!"

Ribery nodded very seriously, and then said directly: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. I believe you will see a different Ribery in this game!"

Zhong Cheng patted Franck Ribery on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved when you say that. Of course, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you work hard. Although we can't afford to lose this game , but losing this game is not the end of the world. I just hope that you will fight this game, and if you pass it, as for the solution, we will accept it!"

Ribery said with his head held high: "Don't worry, boss. Our Leeds United will win this game!"

Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay! You just have to have confidence. I look forward to your victory!"

Ribery's status has always been a relatively big problem for Leeds United. Now Ribery's status is picking up, and Zhong Cheng has relaxed a little. If Ribery really comes back, then Zhong Cheng believes that Leeds United's results will be much, much better.

After waiting for Ribery to come back, Leeds United will definitely be able to compete with Manchester United.

After sending Ribery away, Zhong Cheng found Pique!

Pique has been seriously injured since the end of last season and has been recuperating until he recovered not long ago. In the last game between Leeds United and Porto, Zhong Cheng originally wanted to bring the injured Pique back, and went up to look for his condition, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Leeds United was going to win that game, and the two central defenders performed very well. Zhong Cheng didn't give Pique a chance, but let him sit on the bench for 90 minutes to feel the atmosphere of the game. .

Pique is very important to Leeds United. He is the pinnacle of Leeds United's defense. If he comes back, Leeds United's defense will definitely improve, but this is when Pique is at its peak. only under the circumstances.

Now Zhong Cheng really wants to see how strong the central defender combination of Pique and Kompany will be when they fall to the ground?

However, Zhong Cheng did not do all this rashly. He had to look at Pique's state and recovery before making a decision. Today he asked Pique to ask about some things.

Pique came to Zhong Cheng quietly, nodded slightly, and then sat down.

Zhong Cheng went straight to the point and asked directly: "Gerald, how is your body recently?"

Pique said: "My body has recovered, and my body is full of energy. I can feel that I am now at my peak. After returning to the court, I don't feel a little strange. I think I have done it now. Ready to play the game!"

Pique had already guessed Zhong Cheng's purpose when he came here. After all, Zhong Cheng had just called Ribery in front of him.

Pique is not expressing his determination, nor is he supporting himself, nor is he talking nonsense for the chance of the game. He really feels this way, he feels that he can play now.

After sitting on the bench for 90 minutes in the last game, his heart was itching all the time and he wanted to play. It's a pity that he didn't get a chance in the end. He could only sit there and wait for the chance.

Pique didn't complain because it was a phase he was going through.

Pique is also very confident in himself, and he firmly believes that the opportunity that belongs to him will come back soon.

After hearing what Pique said, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. He knew what kind of person Pique was, and Pique would not lie when he said this. Now that Pique said so, his condition is definitely very good. It seems that Pique can be included in the starting lineup.

If Pique can return, it will definitely be a super good thing for Leeds United.

With the defensive line of Pique and Kompany, at least in terms of defense, Zhong Cheng doesn't have to worry too much. If the two can cooperate tacitly, it will be difficult for Manchester United to break through Leeds United's goal.

However, Zhong Cheng's only worry now is that Pique and Kompany have never partnered before. Can there be a chemical reaction between the two?

The position of central defender is very critical, and no mistakes can be made. So, now Zhong Cheng is still a little bit entangled.

However, looking at Pique, Zhong Cheng said: "First of all, congratulations on your recovery, Gerrard. As for the game, I believe you will be able to return to the battlefield soon. Now our Leeds United need you very much, I hope you To be able to show the performance of the peak period, we all look forward to your return!"

Pique nodded firmly and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

Seeing Pique's appearance, Zhong Cheng was relieved a lot, but Zhong Cheng still hadn't made up his mind whether to let Pique and Kompany partner.

Zhong Cheng now has two more reliable central defenders in his heart. One is the current combination of Kompany and Vermaelen. This season, this combination has partnered a lot, and it is already very tacit. The two also complement each other. Well done.

Another is the combination of Pique and Vermaelen. This combination has proved their strengths in the first two seasons. If this central defender combination returns, I believe Leeds United's defense will be more comfortable and comfortable. .

However, what Zhong Cheng thinks about is the combination of Pique and Kompany. If the two have been working together since before the start of the season, this central defender combination is definitely the top central defender combination in the Premier League. To rival the central defender combination of Rio Ferdinand and Vidic.

It's a pity that the two have not partnered once so far.

Zhong Cheng was very entangled. He didn't make a decision right away. He signaled Pique to go back first. He would give Pique a chance in this game.

After hearing Zhong Cheng's promise, Pique was relieved, but also very excited. After being away from the game for so long, Pique is finally coming back. And as soon as he came back to face such an important game, Pique was very excited.

At the same time, Pique was also very grateful to Zhong Cheng.

After sending Pique away, Zhong Cheng found Carlos Tevez again.

This guy's situation is more special than anyone else's. There is no doubt that Carlos Tevez is a talented player, but his character is also flawed. He is really homesick at times.

Now the outside world is still madly criticizing Tevez, claiming that he is a super big parallel importer.

Although Carlos Tevez has tried very hard to integrate into the team and life in England recently, the effect is still not ideal. Things in life are particularly serious, which have affected his training on the court.

Zhong Cheng found Tevez and asked, "Carlos, how are you feeling recently?"

Carlos Tevez said directly: "Others are okay, but the language and food make me very distressed. I really can't eat these foods in England. I miss the food of Argentina very much... Sorry, boss!"

Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "Carlos needn't say sorry, we have already seen your efforts. But, to be honest, if you want to become a top player in the world, there is only one thing you have to do , that is to strengthen your adaptability. As long as you overcome this point, you will become a top player in the world. You have a good talent, and now you need to work hard, Carlos!"

Carlos Tevez could tell that these were not Zhong Cheng's compliments, but from Zhong Cheng's heart.

Carlos Tevez's heart fluttered. He really didn't expect Zhong Cheng to value him so much and have such high expectations. He was shocked.

Carlos Tevez stared at Zhong Cheng closely and said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to overcome difficulties, and I also have confidence in myself!"

Zhong Cheng nodded and said, "Get ready. Although you won't start this game, you will come off the bench, and the time will not be short. I hope you can seize the opportunity, you know?"

Carlos Tevez nodded in his heart, and said, "Understood, boss, I will not let you down!"
