Episode [291]: Worthy of Being England's Number One National Gate

"Okay, the players from both sides have already played, now let's introduce to you the starting list of both sides today!" Mark Lawrenson said.

Today, the starting rosters of both teams are as follows:

Team: Chelsea, Manager: Jose Mourinho, Formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Back four [left to right]: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira

Midfield three [left to right]: Michael Essien, Makelele and Frank Lampard

Three forwards [from left to right]: Malouda, Drogba and Joe Cole

This is the starting lineup of the Chelsea team today, and this is also the main lineup of the Chelsea team this season. Obviously, some main players have been lost, but their main force framework has not changed. Malouda has replaced Aryan Robben.

However, it can be seen from Jose Mourinho's longing for Frank Ribery that he is not at ease about Malouda's strength. Obviously, Malouda did not meet his requirements, which will become a short board for Chelsea.

Team: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

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

Single midfielder: Mohamed Sissoko

Three strikers [left to right]: Samir Nasri, Luka Modric and Joaquin

Forwards: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani

This is today's Leeds United's starting lineup. Obviously, this is also Leeds United's main lineup for the new season. These two teams have no secrets in this game.

Obviously, both teams regard their opponents as their whetstones, to test their current state and strength, so as to prepare for the new season of the Premier League.

Both teams clamored very loudly before the game, claiming that they will definitely win the championship at all costs in this game, and they will never show any mercy in this game.

In fact, it was only at this time that everyone discovered that the clamor of the two teams before the game was all lies. They don't pay much attention to the outcome of this match at all, whether or not they can win the championship is the second most important thing. Their purpose is to run the lineup and test the strength of the team.

However, these two teams are the absolute main players, which makes this game even more exciting this time.

The fans in the stands were full of anticipation for this game, and their eyes were fixed on the stadium. After all, this is the first official game after a long offseason, and they watched this game with great enthusiasm.

Now the players on both sides are standing on the court full of energy, waiting for the whistle of the referee of this game.

At this time, both Zhong Cheng and Jose Mourinho stood in their positions.

The eyes of the two were also fixed on the court, and then they turned their heads to look at each other on the sidelines at the same time, and the same brilliance flashed in their eyes!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the game was about to start.

The referee has already picked up the whistle, and the game is about to begin—beep!

━━━Separation line━━━

The game has already started, and neither team seems to be particularly active in the game.

This made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV a little uncomfortable. Waiting for such a long time for such a game?

The players on both sides don't seem to be particularly active in the offense, they are all testing, or they are all trying to lure the opponent to attack. Then hit the opponent's counterattack by yourself and give the opponent a fatal blow!

Yes, these two teams are the kind of teams that are good at playing defensive counterattacks. Naturally, they both hope to use their own good ways to deal with each other.

The fans were drowsy watching it. This game really didn't meet their expectations, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

The two commentators of the BBC were a little drowsy after watching it.

However, Zhong Cheng and Jose Mourinho sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. They both sat on the coach's bench with big swords and horses, watching all this very calmly, without any expression changes on their faces, and they looked very relaxed.

These two people don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Could it be that this match is going to go on in such a tacit understanding?

Many people can see that these two are competing with patience!

What's worse than patience is the ugliest thing. Everyone on the scene is drowsy. What's the point of this game?

Jose Mourinho and Zhong Cheng were very calm, watching quietly.

On the pitch, the players on both sides also seemed very quiet. After more than ten minutes of the game, the two sides added up to one shot. It still came from Lampard's long-range shot, which was far behind.

This game is very boring, but many people still see something different.

That is, Leeds United's pass control ability has been greatly improved compared to last season. Their pass control rhythm, timing of pass control, and what balls and routes to send are very clear and organized. It can be seen that they have been carefully designed and trained.

It seems that this summer, Zhong Cheng and Leeds United are not in vain.

Leeds United and Zhong Cheng have strengthened their offensive methods. The Leeds United team in the new season is stronger than the Leeds United team last season. Because their pass control ability has been strengthened a lot, and playing positional warfare will not be as difficult as last season.

This is really due to the rewards of the system missions. Zhong Cheng got an "intermediate pass control master training skill", which improved Leeds United's pass control ability so much.

Jose Mourinho was horrified when he saw this. Leeds United's tactics have been upgraded again. Is this Loya's tactics 3.0?

Jose Mourinho couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng. How could this guy have such a strong tactical quality and ability at such a young age? Isn't this guy a monk halfway, how could he be so strong?

To be honest, Jose Mourinho, who is extremely proud today, was also shocked by Zhong Cheng. This guy is really extraordinary.

However, Jose Mourinho is still not worried, he is very confident in their Chelsea.

Leeds United's tactics are indeed richer, and their strength has also improved. But this is a new tactic after all, and the Leeds United players really haven't reached the point where they are handy.

Therefore, the Chelsea team still has a chance in this game, and the chance is very big.

Jose Mourinho turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly!

━━━Separation line━━━

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and Drogba's right foot slammed onto the football!

"Drogba exploded at close range!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson suddenly roared in horror, his face changed drastically.

Just now there was a sudden change on the field. Lampard pretended to swing his legs and shot violently from a long distance at the front of the penalty area. He suddenly pushed the football straight into the Leeds United penalty area, and the football rolled to Drogba's feet.

Originally, the threat of the ball was not great, but at the critical moment, Kompany's foot slipped and the football rolled past him and rolled directly to Drogba's feet.

The turf is really slippery today, and players have slipped and fallen many times.

Today, the turf in the new Wembley Stadium was watered too much. No, Kompany suffered a disaster. He slipped and lost his best defensive position. At the same time, he gave up the football to the opponent's striker.

This guy Drogba didn't say anything else, he spotted the ball and shot it with his legs!

Drogba's Tiger shot is very sharp, very powerful, and the ball is very fast. And it is still such a close-range shot, even if the super goalkeeper is alive, it is difficult to save it.

The Chelsea fans at the scene jumped up excitedly, cheering frantically with their fists raised high.

Jose Mourinho on the coach's bench also jumped up excitedly and waved his fists fiercely. The pressure on him began to increase. He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Now, the pressure in his heart is much, much less.

However, just as the football was about to fly into the goal, a pair of hands lay across the path of the football.

With a snap, the football concentrated the hands fiercely, and then bounced back quickly.

"Ah! Ahhh! Beautiful! Amazing! Unbelievable save! Aldridge actually saved the football in front of the goal, my God, this is not true, this is definitely not God!" Even Eddie Gray couldn't believe it was true!

Because this ball is so fierce and powerful, almost no one believes that someone can catch this ball.

But Zhong Zheng caught the football, and everyone on the scene was dumbfounded!

At this moment, Zhong Cheng is a god!

Jose Mourinho was extremely disappointed and lost, and he was in an extremely bad mood. Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines and applauded non-stop. He was really scared to death just now, it was too scary.

In the penalty area, Pique quickly kicked the football out of the bottom line, and did not give Malouda who rushed up beside him a chance to make a supplementary shot. Chelsea's fierce attack was disintegrated.

Zhong Zheng is really amazing, all Leeds United fans gave Zhong Zheng thunderous applause. Zhong Zheng is indeed the No. 1 national team of the England national team, and his strength is very good!

Corner, Chelsea won the corner!

Yes, the danger has not been touched. Leeds United must solve the defense of this corner kick before the threat can be touched.

Zhong Zheng shouted loudly, signaling the Leeds United players to pay attention to defense. Especially pay attention to Drogba who defends the back point. Drogba is very capable of heading the ball, and he must not be given any chance.

At this time, the referee blew his whistle and blew the serve whistle.

Joe Cole in the corner corner directly sent the football into the Leeds United penalty area with an arc, and the football flew rapidly to the front point of the penalty area. John Terry from the previous point jumped high and rubbed back with a header. After the point Drogba jumped high and beat Kompany with a header.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were shocked. How could this ball allow Joan Terry to hit the football easily? The faces of the Leeds United fans at the scene changed a little.

John Terry's running position on this ball is very subtle, it confuses Pique behind him, Pique is a step late, making John Terry jump up directly, headed back and rubbed.

And all the defensive players' attention went to the front point. When the ball flew to the back point, it was too late for the defensive players to divert their attention. Drogba jumped up high, overwhelmed Leeds United's central defender Kompany, and smashed his head hard at the flying football.

With a bang, the football flew past like a missile.

"Drogba! Drogba is here again, with a header! Danger, Leeds United are in danger!" BBC commentator Eddie Guoye screamed in horror.

Zhong Zheng in front of the goal immediately threw himself out, like a spring man, bouncing very high and very fast, and his outstretched palm quickly touched the football!
