Leeds United take on visiting Liverpool at home to Liverpool, who claim they are here to take the three points. The Elland Road Stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 fans, is full of seats, and there are many fans from Liverpool, who are in the red camp.

To be honest, this camp is still very big. It can be seen that there are many Liverpool fans here today. At this time, the atmosphere on the scene is already very hot, and now they are all waiting for the start of the game.

A lot of media reporters also came to the scene to pay attention to the focus of this game.

Premier League No. 2 hosts Premier League No. 4 in a big game.

The BBC broadcast the game live, with Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray explaining the game live.

The atmosphere of today's game is really extremely hot!

The fans of Leeds United jumped up excitedly, singing the team anthem of Leeds United, and cheering for their team.

At this time, Zhong Cheng had already walked out of the player tunnel. He looked masculine and handsome in a formal suit. The female fans at the scene all exclaimed, screaming excitedly like wild cats in heat. Calling Zhong Cheng's name.

Zhong Cheng waved to the fans in the audience, and the female fans on the scene screamed, their voices were trembling crazily, as if Zhong Cheng was waving to her.

Then, Zhong Cheng walked to the coaching bench of the visiting team.

Looking at Benitez in front of him, Zhong Cheng smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand to Benitez, and said, "Welcome to the Elland Road Stadium, Mr. Benitez!"

Benitez held Zhong Cheng's hand and said, "I'll take the victory later, you won't welcome me!"

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said: "This is something that doesn't exist, you think too much, Mr. Benitez, we will win this game!"

The corner of Benitez's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Really? Then I will wait and see!"

Zhong Cheng smiled again and said, "Okay, our Leeds United will definitely not let you down!" After speaking, Zhong Cheng turned around and walked quickly back to his coach's bench.

Benitez narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhong Cheng's back, thinking in his heart: "Boy, after the game is over, you won't be magical anymore!"

Then, Benitez also turned around and looked directly into the court.

"Now that the players from both sides have come out of the player tunnel, now we can introduce the starting lists of both sides today!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"Yes, let's take a look at today's game. What kind of lineups did the two sides line up?" BBC commentator Eddie Gray also said the same.

The starting lineups for today's teams are as follows:

Away team: Liverpool, coach: Benitez, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Jerzy Dudek

Back four [left to right]: John Reaser, Sammy Hyypia, Jamie Carragher and Steve Finnan

The midfield four [from left to right]: Luis Garcia, Mohamed Sissoko, Steven Gerrard and Dirk Dirk

Forwards: Peter Crouch and Craig Bellamy

This is Liverpool's starting lineup today. Benitez actually formed a 442 formation, which is a bit unexpected. They even formed a combination of one high and one fast in the forward line, which is a very traditional configuration in England.

However, Peter Crouch is not an ordinary high center forward. Although he is more than two meters tall, his foot skills are still very good, and he is also very flexible. The most important thing is that at his height, his speed Not too slow.

This is a very characteristic high center, a killer with a relatively stable scoring efficiency.

And Bellamy beside him is super fast, this guy runs like the wind, such a striker combination is more dangerous.

When the fans of Leeds United saw such a striker combination, their hearts trembled.

Home team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

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

Single midfielder: Mascherano

Three forwards [from left to right]: Bresciano, Luka Modric and Joaquin

Forward duo: Luka Modric and Edinson Cavani

This is today's Leeds United's starting lineup. Zhong Cheng is a good reputation. The formation is still a 4132 formation. However, anyone who is familiar with Leeds United knows that when defending, Leeds United's formation It is often changed into four four one one, or even four five one.

Leeds United's formation changes and personnel changes are very frequent, which is a headache for all other coaches. At the same time, they were also shocked. Zhong Cheng's tactics of switching positions were beyond this era. They thought Zhong Cheng was indeed a genius.

Today, Leeds United's lineup is not much beyond everyone's predictions.

However, Luka Modric, who returned from injury, appeared in the starting list, which is still a bit surprising. Of course, the appearance of the new aid Bresciano in the starting roster surprised everyone even more. This guy is on loan. Zhong Cheng really trusts him so much?

Anyway, when seeing these two people, many people still have a lot to say.

When the fans of Leeds United saw such a lineup, they were also a little worried. Has Bresciano fit into the team? Just let him start, wouldn't that be too radical?

"Wow, Loya is very bold today. He even sent Bresciano, which is really beyond our expectations. I don't know what will happen to Bresciano's debut today? Let's wait and see!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

beep!

At this time, the referee of the game blew the whistle for the official start of the game.

The first kick-off was the visiting team Liverpool. Liverpool didn't try it as soon as they came up, and chose to attack directly. Because they knew that Leeds United would choose to defend and counterattack as soon as they came up, so there was no need to try.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Leeds United recovered.

However, although they recovered, their defense was still very aggressive. The high-intensity oppression and collision made the Liverpool players frown. Leeds United's defense was like a meat grinder, which entangled them very much. uncomfortable.

Moreover, Leeds United's defensive actions are still very strong, and the defense is very tough. Liverpool's players are somewhat restricted.

On the sidelines, Benitez's expression didn't change when he saw this, because he had expected this situation a long time ago, and he was also prepared for it.

Since the positional attack cannot advance, then go directly to the air.

This is why Benitez will send Crouch and Bellamy today, the combination of one high and one fast.

Harvey Alonso in the backcourt aimed at the tall man Crouch in front, and directly passed the football to the head of Crouch in front with a long pass. Crouch shook his head directly, and slammed the football to Bellamy, who was accelerating beside him.

This time Crouch showed his strength. He overwhelmed Kompany behind him and swung his head to ferry.

The Liverpool fans at the scene became excited and shouted Crouch's name one after another. But Bellamy failed to catch up with the football, and the football was cleared by Leeds United full-back Evra first.

Bellamy gave Crouch a thumbs up, indicating that he passed well.

At this time, the Liverpool fans on the scene burst into screams of panic, and the voice was very loud.

The football that was cleared flew directly to the front field and flew to the side.

The one who took the ball from the wing was Bresciano who just came to Leeds United. Bresciano is a very comprehensive player. His speed, strength and physical fitness are very good, and he is very average, but he plays very well. Iron and fierce.

After taking the ball, Bresciano was ready to start, feinted the Liverpool defender in front of him, and then quickly knocked the football to the middle, and the football rolled directly to the feet of Luka Modric in the middle.

Bresciano immediately accelerated and rushed forward quickly, attracting the defensive attention of the Liverpool people. Then Luka Modric in the middle directly passed the football diagonally to Joaquin who advanced on the other side.

Bresciano managed to attract the attention of a lot of people, creating space for Joaquin.

"Defend, go up and intercept, and block his pass!" Benitez called out loudly from the sidelines. There is a lot of space around Joaquin, and this guy has a good crossing ability. , if no one goes up to limit him, he will calmly pass a very accurate pass.

Benitez and Liverpool fans were very worried and nervous, calling for the defensive players to go up and block Joaquin's cross.

After Joaquin received the ball, there were indeed Liverpool players who rushed over desperately and rushed towards Joaquin quickly. Joaquin ignored it, but directly passed back with an inverted triangle, passing the football to the front of the penalty area.

"Luka Modric! Luka Modric is here. He has a long shot. Liverpool is in danger." Mark Lawrenson immediately exclaimed.

Carragher, the Liverpool centre-back, was shocked. He immediately moved quickly, rushed out, and rushed towards Luka Modric frantically, because he had already seen Luka Modric with his bow and arrow, swinging his bow and arrow. The legs exploded.

With a bang, Luka Modric hit the football with his right leg, but instead of hitting the goal heavily, he easily threw the football towards the penalty area. The football quickly passed over the head of Carragher who rushed out fiercely, and flew behind him quickly.

"Ah, danger!" All the Liverpool fans at the scene screamed in horror.

The football quickly flew towards Edinson Cavani, who was thrusting forward into the space. Edinson Cavani saw the incoming ball, didn't stop the ball, directly volleyed sideways, and hit the ball hard. football.

With a bang, the football immediately shot towards Liverpool's goal like a fired shell.

This shot is very difficult, but Edinson Cavani's kick is very beautiful, the position is very accurate, and the force is very full, which fully demonstrates Edinson Cavani's super sense of smell in front of goal and shooting instinct, as well as superb shooting skills!

With a bang, the football shot directly into the upper left corner of the goal like a white light.

Dudek in front of the goal made a side throw, but before he could make the save, the football flew into Liverpool's goal.
