Episode [139]: The World Is Not as Simple as You Think
Zhong Cheng stood in front of the coach's bench, watching the preparations of the players on the court.
At this time, Alex Ferguson came over, extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng, and said, "Dear Loya, welcome to Old Trafford!"
Zhong Cheng stretched out his hand to hold Alex Ferguson's right hand, and said lightly, "Thank you!"
Alex Ferguson said: "Hope it's a great night!"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "I think your wish is too easy to come true. The wonderful night belongs only to our Leeds United!"
Alex Ferguson tightened his eyes, stared at Zhong Cheng, and said, "Really?"
Zhong Cheng grinned slightly, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and said, "Of course!"
Alex Ferguson stared at Zhong Cheng for a while, and then said: "Young people just show their sharpness, but unfortunately, in this world, ginger is still old and spicy!"
Zhong Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "Really? Let's wait and see!"
Alex Ferguson still smiled and said: "Then I wish you good luck, lucky Loya!"
After finishing speaking, Alex Ferguson ignored Zhong Cheng, turned around and walked back to his place, where his assistants were waiting for him.
Seeing the back of Alex Ferguson leaving, the smile on Zhong Cheng's face completely collapsed, and his expression was very serious. This game must be a very difficult game.
Zhong Cheng turned his head, looked into the stadium, stared at his players, and said in his heart: "I hope you don't let me down today!"
Now Leeds United is ranked third in the Premier League, with 36 points, eight points behind the top-ranked Manchester United. This point difference is already huge. If they lose to Manchester United at this time, they will lose Will be 11 points behind Manchester United, the gap is big.
For Zhong Cheng, this is a game that cannot be lost.
Brendan Rogers came up and said in Zhong Cheng's ear, "This old man is very arrogant now!"
Zhong Cheng turned around and walked back to the coach's bench, and sat down.
Zhong Cheng said: "With Manchester United's results, of course he can be arrogant. And the Manchester United team is in a very good condition this season, so of course he has the capital to be arrogant!"
Brendan Rogers frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "I just can't understand his pretense!"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "I don't like it either!"
Rogers, Di Matteo and others burst out laughing upon hearing this.
It can be seen that the mentality of the Leeds United team is relatively relaxed and the battle is imminent, not too nervous.
Zhong Cheng glanced at Gerard Pique, who was standing on the main defense line. This was his first game after returning from injury. Zhong Cheng had no idea what he could do.
No wonder some outsiders would say that Zhong Cheng was too courageous. Pique, who hadn't played in a few months, was allowed to start such an important game. This is really underestimating Manchester United.
Zhong Cheng stared at Pique, and said in his heart: "I'll see you today, I hope you don't let me down!"
In the stadium, Pique didn't notice Zhong Cheng's gaze. Pique's gaze was looking straight ahead, staring straight at Manchester United's goal. I don't know what he was thinking?
The atmosphere of the battle is coming up, and this thrilling game is about to be staged.
━━━Separation line━━━
beep!
The referee blows his whistle, and the match between Manchester United and Leeds United officially begins.
The first kick-off is the visiting team Leeds United.
Leeds United set up an offensive posture as soon as they came up, pressing forward as a whole. It can be seen that Leeds United want to grab a start.
On the sidelines, Alex Ferguson sat in his seat, watching all this quietly.
To be honest, at the beginning of the game, no matter what reaction and tactics Zhong Cheng and Leeds United made, he would not be surprised. Because he has studied Zhong Cheng, this guy always likes to surprise.
Obviously, this time, Zhong Cheng was also preparing for a surprise.
However, Alex Ferguson's game was superior, and Manchester United's defense line was firmly established, making the penalty area impenetrable and as stable as Mount Tai.
In the stadium, Leeds United was pouring the ball back and forth, tearing up the space.
The players of Leeds United frowned slightly. This game was a little different from what they expected. Manchester United actually set up their defense and waited for them to attack, which is abnormal.
Leeds United originally wanted to launch a lightning raid as soon as they came up, catching them by surprise. It seems impossible now, Leeds United can only turn into a position to attack, control the football under their feet, pass it back and forth, pull the defense, and create space.
Rogers frowned slightly and said: "Boss, that damned old man seems to have guessed our intentions. This time he made a highly competitive arrangement!"
Zhong Cheng said with a faint smile: "He is Alex Ferguson. Isn't it surprising that he did this? So, it's nothing to make a fuss about! The game has only just begun, and it's still unknown who will win!"
Rogers was slightly taken aback. It seemed that Zhong Cheng had known that Alex Ferguson would make such an arrangement. Now that he knew it, why did Zhong Cheng arrange such a tactic? Isn't this knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, but you want to hit the muzzle of Alex Ferguson?
Rogers couldn't figure it out, and was stunned.
Zhong Cheng said with a chuckle, "Brandan, this world is not as simple as you think, it seems that you still have to study!"
Rogers frowned, and murmured, "Don't you think it's as simple as you think?"
At this moment, Manchester United's midfielder suddenly steals the ball, and it is Alan Smith who steals the ball!
Alan Smith came from the Leeds youth training and became famous in Leeds United. It used to be the darling of Leeds United fans, but in 2004, it was sold to the rival Manchester United by the team, which made Leeds United fans very upset.
Leeds United fans also hated Alan Smith!
As soon as Alan Smith took the ball, the Leeds United fans from afar would boo Alan Smith. Now Old Trafford is full of guilt like a tsunami of boos.
Alan Smith who intercepted the ball quickly sent the football to the wing, and the football rolled to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing. The Manchester United fans immediately screamed excitedly, shouting for Cristiano · Ronaldo's name, let Cristiano Ronaldo make waves.
Cristiano Ronaldo faced Evra's defense as soon as he received the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of work on his feet, but this time, he just made a fake move, and then came a man to pass the ball and eat Evra raw with speed.
The Manchester United fans stood up excitedly, waving their scarves frantically.
After Cristiano Ronaldo passed Evra, he directly pulled the ball horizontally. On the corner of the penalty area, he kicked the football fiercely, and the football flew towards the Leeds United goal quickly.
Less than five minutes after the start of the first half, Manchester United had their first shot, and it was full of threats.
The bell in front of the goal bounced immediately, and stretched out a single palm to block it. But he didn't touch the football. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
This time, Leeds United is still a bit dangerous.
Rogers frowned slightly and said, "Boss, this situation seems a bit wrong?"
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, "Is there anything wrong with this? The current situation is normal, very normal!"
Rogers was stunned, the boss must be crazy today, he is obviously at a disadvantage, how can he be normal? Does the boss also think that Leeds United is not as good as the current Manchester United?
Rogers was lost in thought!
The game continues on the pitch. Although Leeds United's offensive position has been greatly improved this season, it still seems a bit insufficient when facing Manchester United.
Luka Modric's through ball in the middle wants to pass the ball directly to Darren Bent who goes forward. The line of the ball was chosen very well, and the strength of the pass was also very appropriate. But it was intercepted by Vidic's long legs, and the football rolled to Scholes' feet.
"Wow, a beautiful interception. Vidic is really a very powerful central defender. He is almost becoming the world's top central defender when he comes here. It is said that the madman Loja was also optimistic about Vidic back then. I approached Vidic and wanted to bring Vidic to Leeds United, but unfortunately Vidic refused. I have to say that the vision of the madman Loja is really amazing!" Commentator Mark Lauren Sen was amazed.
Rogers also saw Vidic's performance, and he felt very sorry. Why didn't this guy agree to join Leeds United? If he comes to Leeds United, Leeds United will be against the sky.
Rogers often heard Zhong Cheng praise Vidic, now watching Vidic's performance, Rogers is really regretful, but also shocked by Zhong Cheng's vision, as if Zhong Cheng is a top Bole, valued All the players are glowing.
Zhong Cheng is really amazing.
In the stadium, Manchester United's offense came up. Scholes dribbled the ball to the left, and then quickly passed the ball to Ryan Giggs in front of him. This guy is very fast, and he brings the ball like a gust of wind.
However, this time he was a little too anxious. He was preparing for a big trip just after receiving the ball, wanting to speed up. This is too underestimating Sarnia, Sarnia directly made an early sliding tackle, and the football was produced out of the sideline.
Manchester United's sideline kick, O'Shea threw the football, and the football flew towards Giggs, Giggs did not push the football back to O'Shea, but suddenly missed the football, and the football rolled to Sri Lanka. Coles' feet.
Scholes turned around with the ball, and then made a long diagonal pass, quickly shifting the football to the right.
There, Cristiano Ronaldo is advancing at high speed.
With a bang, the football drew an arc and flew directly towards Cristiano Ronaldo who was going forward. Cristiano Ronaldo was so fast that he threw Evra behind him.
Seeing the football falling in front of him, Cristiano Ronaldo stretched his legs and slid the football forward. Instead of stopping the ball, he sent the football forward. Then he accelerated again and chased the football crazily. He was Don't want to give Evra any chance.
This is to get rid of Evra's defense, but the football has rolled to the bottom line.
There isn't much room left for Cristiano Ronaldo. And Evra has already caught up behind, there is no way, Cristiano Ronaldo can only choose to cross.
Although, Cristiano Ronaldo's skills at his feet are very good, he may be able to use small skills to get rid of Evra and bring football out. But in that case, time will be wasted, and Leeds United will be given time to defend, so the gain will outweigh the loss.
If it was the past, Cristiano Ronaldo would definitely do it. But now he is much more mature, and he kicked a cross directly, and the football flew into the Leeds United penalty area. In the middle, Wayne Rooney and Saha both hit the goal, very dangerous!
