Episode [186]: This Is the Precursor to the Collapse of the Whole Line

At this time, Leeds United was the first team to reach the semi-finals of the 2006-2007 FA Cup, because the match against Leeds United on the same day ended in a draw. Middlesbrough drew 2-2 at home. Manchester United.

Unlike the FA Cup, there will be no overtime and penalties for the first match. In the event of a tie, the venue will be changed for a rematch. If the rematch continues to draw, it will enter overtime, and the penalty kick will be taken at the end.

Therefore, whether Middlesbrough or Manchester United will enter the semi-finals is still uncertain, and it depends on the results of the make-up match a week later.

The day after the Leeds United game ended, the results of the other two rounds of one-eighth knockout matches came out. Blackburn beat Manchester City 2-0 at home and successfully entered the semi-finals. In another game, Chelsea drew 3-3 at home with Tottenham Hotspur, and the two teams will also have a rematch.

Therefore, the only teams that have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season are Leeds United and Blackburn, and the remaining two teams will be born a week later.

Seeing this result, Zhong Cheng naturally hopes that the team can play against Blackburn in the semi-finals. After all, other teams are not very easy to deal with.

Now Leeds United has to consider the 30th round of the Premier League this season. This season, the Premier League next year has really entered the finale, and the end of the season is very, very close.

Coincidentally, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Leeds United's opponent happened to be Blackburn, and Leeds United challenged Blackburn away.

Does this game indicate that Leeds United will face Blackburn in the semi-finals of the FA Cup? If that's the case, so much the better.

In this game, the international players of Leeds United came back, but they played a game of fire and had to leave again to report back to the national team. There have been too many national team games recently, and I will not return to the club until the end of the month to participate in the league.

Therefore, in this round of the league, Zhong Cheng is still very considerate of the players of the Leeds United team. He did not dispatch all the main players, but let some tired countries rest. And those fringe international players of the national team got the chance to start.

Also in this game, the young Hazard started again.

This made the young players of Leeds United envious. Hazard was really lucky to be valued so much by Zhong Cheng. They were envious and angry. Especially De Bruyne, he is very upset at this time, why he was born a few months later than Hazard, if he was born a little earlier, maybe he is De Bruyne who has a lot of opportunities now .

De Bruyne is really envious, because today he has no chance to sit on the bench of Leeds United. He stayed in Leeds United to watch the game in front of the TV, watching the starter Hazard, who appeared on the stage, was completely envious on his face.

In this game, Leeds United adopted a defensive counterattack tactic.

The home team, Blackburn, did not attack rashly, so this game was very dull. Obviously, Blackburn came for a point.

But, unfortunately, Blackburn didn't take their chances.

In the end, Leeds United won the game with Edinson Cavani's world wave. To be honest, Leeds United didn't have many chances in this game, but they won the game. Edinson Cavani performed very well in this game and brought Leeds United three points.

Leeds United scored three points, but Manchester United and Chelsea also won. Leeds United did not narrow the gap with Manchester United. However, Arsenal lost in this round and Liverpool also drew. Sheffield Wednesday took a big advantage.

Ranking first in the league is still the Red Devils Manchester United with 75 points. The second is Leeds United with 71 points, the third is Chelsea with 67 points, the fourth is Sheffield Wednesday with 58 points, and the fifth is Arsenal The team scored fifty-seven points, and Liverpool ranked sixth with fifty-one points.

Therefore, Manchester United is still pressing on Leeds United like a mountain.

Now there are still eight rounds left in the league. Chasing four points in eight rounds seems easy, but it is actually very simple. If Manchester United has been so strong, if there are no surprises, Leeds United really has no chance of surpassing Manchester United and winning the Premier League championship.

Therefore, at this time, the fans of Leeds United are very worried and upset. They are all praying that there will be some accidents in Manchester United, so that they have the opportunity to surpass Manchester United and complete Leeds United's task of defending the league title.

However, Zhong Cheng knows that this task is very difficult, and it is very likely that he will not be able to complete such a task this season.

It should be unrealistic to expect Manchester United to make major mistakes now.

Zhong Cheng also knows that they made a lot of mistakes before the league this season. They even had a chance to overtake Manchester United, but unfortunately they didn't seize the opportunity. Now it is really too difficult for them to overtake Manchester United. .

After this round of competition, the Leeds United internationals left the club again.

However, fortunately, during this period of time, Leeds United did not have any games. However, in order to maintain the team's state, Zhong Cheng arranged a friendly match.

Of course, the opponents in this friendly match are not very strong, and they are teams from the English League Two.

In this game, Zhong Cheng gave Hazard and De Bruyne a chance. The two started together, which surprised the fans of Leeds United. Fans of Leeds United can also see that Zhong Cheng definitely wants to reuse these two next season, especially Hazard, otherwise, Zhong Cheng would not give them so many opportunities.

However, the strength of these two people is indeed very good, what is lacking now is experience and physical training. The fans of Leeds United also like these two very much, and they all hope that they can both become talents and become the pillars and pillars of Leeds United in the future.

De Bruyne is very happy in this game. He finally doesn't have to sit on the bench or envy Hazard in front of the TV. He also started today.

De Bruyne is very excited. He is now full of strength in his body and is ready to explode completely in this game.

After the start of the game, Leeds United took the initiative completely. After all, they are the top two in the Premier League, and the opponent is indeed a team in the League Two. The level of the two teams is still very different.

Not long after the game started, the young De Bruyne showed his talent and sent a very exciting high-speed through ball. This ball is very difficult to pass, because if you want to It's very, very difficult to find opportunities at the right time at high speed and accurately deliver through balls that are full of weight and angle. But De Bruyne did a good job this time, passing the football directly to Edinson Cavani.

Edinson Cavani got the football very comfortably, single-handedly scored the opponent's goal, and easily sent the football into the opponent's goal, one to zero.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited. De Bruyne is really good. Even when he came to the first team, he showed his performance in the youth team. He is really a genius.

De Bruyne himself was also very excited and excited. He didn't expect that he would perform so well. He was frightened by himself.

At this time, the game had just started, but De Bruyne's performance was not as amazing as this time. But his performance on the court is still very good. Although he has exposed some problems when he is young, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.

Hazard, like De Bruyne, was replaced after only halftime, but both were very happy. Hazard also sent an assist today. Although this assist was not as exciting as De Bruyne, the fans of Leeds United were still very happy.

The performance of these two rookies was really amazing, and the fans of Leeds United applauded. They all hoped to see these two people grow up quickly, and they were full of expectations for these two people.

In this game, Leeds United naturally played very easily, and the opponent's strength was not strong. And there was no fourth-division dirty work, and no Leeds players were injured.

In the final friendly match, Leeds United defeated their opponents 6-0. In this game, Edinson Cavani and Carlos Tevez both scored twice, and then Gary Cahill and Albertini scored a goal each.

Yes, Carlos Tevez was not selected for the Argentine national team this time, he stayed. But recently his performance in Leeds United has been very good, and it is said that he has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs, because everyone knows that Leeds United has Carlos Tevez and Mascherano on loan.

Now many clubs want to introduce these two people, including Manchester United and Liverpool.

Now these two teams are attacking these two very fiercely. If they want to win these two, Zhong Cheng will naturally not give these two teams a chance.

When Leeds United played a friendly match, the results of the other two rematch matches of the FA Cup also came out. The semi-finals of the FA Cup. Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-2 at home to Chelsea. Chelsea successfully reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season.

In this way, the teams that successfully reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season are Leeds United, Blackburn, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Sure enough, Blackburn is the easiest to deal with among the four teams. The other three teams all want to draw Blackburn. Blackburn has become a weak chicken in the eyes of everyone, and they all want to pick him. Of course, Zhong Cheng also thinks the same way, of course they have to play against weak players, so that they can devote themselves to the league.

Next is the draw for the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Sure enough, Zhong Cheng's luck has never been that good. They didn't draw Blackburn, but they drew the blue team Chelsea. Good luck By brute force, you are right.

Yes, Manchester United drew the weak chicken Blackburn.

Zhong Cheng sighed, he had to face Manchester United in the league, Chelsea in the FA Cup, and Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. Every game of Leeds United is very difficult. Zhong Cheng's luck is gone.

In the eyes of media reporters, these are the precursors of the collapse of Leeds United!

Yes, at this time, media reporters in England reported the news one after another. They were all not optimistic about Leeds United, claiming that Leeds United's season was over. Leeds lost to Zhong Cheng's overreach and greed.
