Episode [276]: We See the Shadow of Kaka

Leeds United's new stadium looks like a white rose blooming in the southern suburbs of Leeds from a distance during the day.

The white rose belongs to the symbol of Yorkshire, England!

Although no local British media and fans called Leeds United like this before, after Zhong Cheng took over, Zhong Cheng affectionately referred to Leeds United as "White Rose" many times. The fans of Leeds United also agreed with this title, because the white rose is also a symbol of Leeds.

Moreover, there is also a white rose on the emblem of Leeds United.

In addition, the bloody grievances between Leeds United and Manchester United also came from the War of the Roses, which is the famous red and white rose dispute in British history. Therefore, it is easy for Leeds United fans to use white roses to symbolize Leeds United.

More importantly, Leeds United's home jersey is also white, which proves the white rose. Therefore, for the white rose, Leeds United fans agree very much.

The inspiration for the design of Leeds United's new aura also comes from this.

At night, the canopy of Leeds United's new stadium, that is, the position of the petals, will turn on the lights, and the entire stadium will turn yellow. From a distance, it looks a bit like an ancient Chinese crown.

The crown is inspired by ancient Chinese culture, and the designer combined Chinese and Western styles.

And this yellow is not a random choice, because yellow is the second representative color of Leeds United. There are a lot of yellow on the emblem of Leeds United, and even the away jerseys of Leeds United in many seasons are also yellow.

So the use of this yellow is also very well-founded.

Although, in the eyes of many people, the design of the crown is a bit too nouveau riche and too vulgar. However, Zhong Cheng claimed that it was both vulgar and elegant, so he directly decided on this design.

Yes, this design was culled from many, many others.

At least in Zhong Cheng and Leeds United's internal and sample surveys of Leeds United fans, this design has the highest support rate, so Zhong Cheng finally decided on this design.

Many Leeds United fans now call this new stadium the "Rose Bowl" and the "Crown Stadium".

Of course, the right to sign the stadium has not yet been formally implemented. In the end, what the stadium will be called will have to wait for the official decision on the day the stadium is completed and put into use.

The stadium is finally going to be put into construction, Zhong Cheng is naturally very excited and excited.

Zhong Cheng will definitely be there when the foundation stone is laid for the stadium. For Leeds United, this can be described as a milestone in the new century, and Zhong Cheng must be present.

Zhong Cheng handed over the pre-stage preparations to Trevor Birch and [Zhong Cheng Real Estate]. Now Zhong Cheng has no energy to take care of these things. Zhong Cheng is now leading Leeds United to face the third opponent of this Asian tour, the South China football team of Xiangjiang.

The Xiangjiang Jiangnan Football Team was the champion of the Xiangjiang League last season. The current head coach is the Brazilian Milu. He still attaches great importance to this game. After all, Leeds United was the king of English football last season and directly won all the championships in England. Such a team is of course very strong.

The strength of Leeds United is much stronger than that of their upcoming opponents Liverpool, Fulham and Portsmouth in the "Barclays Asia Championship".

Regarding this game, Mi Lu said: "Our opponents are very strong. They are one of the strongest teams in the world today. Playing against such a team will be very helpful to the growth of our Nanhua football team. I believe this game will inspire us!"

When asked by the media, Mi Lu said: "Yes, Mr. Loya is very powerful. I have been studying his tactics all the time. He is a very great football coach. I can learn something from him. Of course, we will definitely go all out in this game. In this game, our Nanhua football team also has a chance to win. After all, this is our home field!"

Xiangjiang fans are very concerned about this game. On that day, many fans came to Xiangjiang Stadium to watch this game.

The Xiangjiang Stadium is the home stadium of the Nanhua football team, and it is a very large stadium in Xiangjiang.

Before the game, Zhong Cheng also accepted interviews from the media.

At this time, all the faces in front of Zhong Cheng were Asian faces, most of them were from Hong Kong and China, and there were also media reporters from Japan and South Korea, but there were very few British reporters and reporters from other countries. It seems that this incident was not paid much attention in Europe.

The Asian side attaches great importance to this matter. Leeds United, the English League Triple Crown, came to visit Asia, and Asia naturally attached great importance to it.

Zhong Cheng said: "This game is an important game for our Leeds United team to prepare before the season. We are running the lineup for the new season, so that more players in the Leeds United team will play the game, find the state of the game, and prepare for the upcoming new season."

The media reporters nodded their heads one after another, saying that was already very good, at least they did not say that the South China Club was irrelevant. And every day the reporters also think that Zhong Cheng is telling the truth, isn't Leeds United just preparing for the new season?

Zhong Cheng also said: "I have also heard about the South China football team. They are an old strong team in Xiangjiang. Although there have been some problems in recent years, they seem to have been resolved. They were the champions last season, and their strength should be OK!"

Zhong Cheng said: "I really don't know much about this Nanhua football team. Who are the players in it and what is their style of play? I only found out after reading the information collected by the club recently. To be honest, this is a very distinctive team. I hope they can continue to maintain it. They are very strong!"

The Japanese and Korean media reporters all thought that Zhong Cheng was just trying to save face for the South China Club. How could a small Xiangjiang club have such a strong strength? It means that any of their top league clubs in Japan and South Korea can make this Nanhua club a stopper. Zhong Cheng is too polite.

Zhong Cheng continued: "For this game, our Leeds United stars will play, but we will also give opportunities to many newcomers. After all, there are not many such opportunities. I hope these young people can seize the opportunity and have more performances, so that they can stay in Leeds United in the new season!"

Zhong Cheng's words are very clear, this game is a game for Leeds United to inspect young people.

The media reporters think it doesn't matter, after all, the young players of Leeds United are also very strong.

However, the players of the Nanhua Club were naturally very upset when they heard this. How could a group of young people compare with them, although they were much worse than the first-team players of Leeds United. However, compared with your group of young players, they are much better.

The Nanhua players are determined to play this game well, and force all the first-team players from the Leeds United team out, so that Leeds United can see how powerful their South China team is.

In particular, several foreign players from Nanhua, the strikers Tyree Schulz and De Tinho, were very unconvinced. They thought they were not much worse than the players of Leeds United.

Leeds United are so arrogant, they want to teach Leeds United a lesson!

Under such circumstances, the match between Leeds United and South China Club began.

Chen Wanting and members of the women's football team of the Sha Tin Sports Association came to the Xiangjiang Stadium to watch the game. They all wore the jerseys of the Leeds United team to cheer for the Leeds United team.

Today, Zhong Cheng formed a 4-1-3-2 formation, starting as follows:

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [left to right]: Patrick Evra, David Luiz, Kompany and Sagna

Single midfielder: Mohamed Sissoko

Three strikers [left to right]: Samir Nasri, Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne

Forwards: Robert Lewandowski and Aleksander Pato

This is the starting lineup of Leeds United today, some of which are the main players, some are new players, and some are players from the youth team.

Obviously this is a motley crew, but not many people on the scene dared to underestimate this Leeds United team. Their strength is still very strong. At least on the central axis, Leeds United still has some main players, such as Kompany, Mohamed Sissoko, and Luka Modric.

It's just that there are two rookies on the forward line, but the name of Alexander Pato on the forward line is very loud. This guy's performance in the Club World Cup last year shocked the world. At that time, many European giants were interested in Pato.

At that time, Pato helped the Brazil international team defeat the thriving cosmos team Barcelona in the Club World Cup final. At that time, many people called Pato another Kaka. There were too many teams that offered him an olive branch. AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Manchester United and other teams all hoped to introduce him.

But after that, the whole world knew that Pato had been valued by Zhong Cheng of Leeds United a few years ago, and he bought it out directly and signed a contract for several years. Pato is a player on loan from Leeds United Club to Brazil International, and the whole world was shocked.

Crazy Loya's eyes on young people are already so sharp? Pato was bought out many years ago? Oh my god, is the crazy Loya a human being?

Anyway, many people were stunned and completely stunned.

Therefore, although Pato has just come to Leeds United, many fans know him and are full of expectations for them. They wanted to see how Pato behaved when he fell to the ground, and how did Zhong Cheng look when he fell to the ground?

After the start of the game, the Nanhua team had almost no offense and was suppressed.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Luka Modric sent a beautiful through ball. Pato directly crossed the South China team's defense line with his abnormal speed.

Pato's first performance was so eye-catching, like a comet gliding through the night, shining extremely!

The fans of Xiangjiang all remember the name Pato. It seems that they will often see the Brazilian scoring goals in the Leeds United lineup in the future.

Afterwards, Samir Nasri performed very well on the wing, making a sudden cross after consecutive breakthroughs, and Robert Lewandowski scored a header from the back point, 2-0.

The Nanhua team also has a lot of opportunities, but Detinho and Terry Schutz are all stared down by Kompany and David Luiz, so there is no chance.

The second half of the game had just started, and Pato rode solo for thousands of miles, completely conquering the Xiangjiang fans. They seemed to have really seen Kaka's shadow and shouted Pato's name one after another.

Then in the second half of the game, Edinson Cavani and Kompany scored successively, 5-0, Leeds United defeated the South China Football Team, showing a very strong performance.

This is also the biggest score since Leeds United's Asian tour so far. The South China team lost a bit tragically!
