Episode [311]: It Can Be Regarded as the Worst Start in History

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United mainly attacked.

Yes, Di Matteo made a very big adjustment in this game, tactically!

Seeing that the opponent is Birmingham, a newly promoted team from the Premier League. Therefore, Di Matteo predicted that the opponent would definitely defend and counterattack, so Di Matteo took the initiative to attack.

To be honest, Di Matteo really did not put Birmingham in his eyes.

The strength of the Birmingham team is very weak. They are still at the level of the English Championship. Coming to the Premier League is simply a tourist. After one season, they will return to the English Championship.

To be honest, Di Matteo did not put Birmingham in his eyes.

But for this game, Di Matteo is still very serious. He hopes that the players of Leeds United can also get serious, take this game seriously, strive to score goals as soon as possible, and take off the pressure on them.

Yes, at this time, the pressure on Leeds United is very great.

Two rounds of invincibility, this is not a good thing for the defending champion Leeds United. The outside world has a lot of talk about Leeds United, and the pressure on Leeds United is naturally very great.

To be honest, DiMatteo himself felt tremendous pressure.

There is no way, who told him that he did not lead Leeds United well. Now there are quite a few people who criticize, satirize and sarcasm Di Matteo. There are even many media that list Di Matteo's previous achievements in coaching Leeds United, and he has not even won a single victory!

Di Matteo was really slapped in the face, very hard!

So, now Di Matteo continues to prove himself!

At this time, the game had already started, and Leeds United launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, besieging Birmingham. The Birmingham team is really self-aware, and it really adopted a defensive counterattack tactic.

Seeing this, Di Matteo kept nodding his head, confident about the game.

The players of Leeds United attacked crazily as soon as they came up, and they all pressed on, almost pressing the front line across the half. The players of the Birmingham team are sticking to the end, it seems that they don't even have the intention of counterattacking, they are here for a point.

Di Matteo is very relaxed standing on the sidelines, and he is very, very familiar with defensive counterattacks. The Birmingham people playing this in front of him is simply like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong!

Di Matteo had a smile on his face, Leeds United won this game!

In the fifth minute of the first half, Zhong Cheng's Luka Modric suddenly made an oblique pass and sent the football to the feet of Joaquin who was advancing from the wing.

Luca Toni in the middle of the penalty area jumped high and headed the goal, but the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

This can be regarded as a knock on the mountain for the Leeds United, and it also started the crazy bombing mode of the Leeds United.

Looking at the pace of the game like this, Yang Jiacheng's face is also a little ugly!

Yang Jiacheng naturally saw that there was a very, very big gap between their Birmingham club and Leeds United. If Birmingham want to be like Leeds United, they must improve in all aspects, completely.

Obviously, Birmingham still has a long way to go!

The game continued, and Leeds United arranged all the offenses, besieging the Birmingham team, which was like a half-court offensive and defensive drill. But the defense of the Birmingham people is still very good. At the end of the first half, they did not concede a goal.

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. The players of Leeds United were still out of shape. If this continues, it will be more difficult for Leeds United to win this game. But it seems that Di Matteo didn't notice this problem. It seems that the onslaught and almost scoring in the first half of the game forced Di Matteo's eyes.

The second half started immediately, and Leeds United still played according to the pattern of the first half. Di Matteo has not changed at all, and Zhong Cheng knew that this game was a bit hanging.

However, in the second half of the game, Leeds United still had the absolute initiative and besieged Birmingham. Every attack is very threatening. The fans of Birmingham don't even dare to take a breath, and Yang Jiacheng is also extremely nervous.

However, Zhong Cheng saw something bad!

Sure enough, in the 72nd minute of the second half, the Birmingham team suddenly intercepted the ball in the midfield, and a simple through ball directly penetrated Leeds United's defense. The Birmingham striker went to the meeting alone, and Leeds United's defense line was too high, and they underestimated their opponents too much.

This time, Leeds United suffered a loss. The opponent seized a counterattack opportunity and scored a goal.

One to zero, Birmingham leads Leeds United at home!

When Di Matteo saw the ball, he was stunned and couldn't believe the facts before him. His eyes widened in disbelief.

In the end, Leeds United lost 0-1 away to Birmingham, ushering in a three-game losing streak in the Premier League in the new season!

━━━Separation line━━━

With a three-game losing streak, Leeds United have had their worst start to the season.

The Premier League has just started three consecutive losses!

This result has blinded many people. They think it is not true. There is definitely something wrong with it. It is fake. How could Leeds United have lost three games in a row?

Now there are only two teams in the Premier League with a three-game losing streak, one is Leeds United, and the other is Bolton. These two teams can be described as difficult brothers, but Bolton's performance is slightly better than Leeds United's, and the goal difference is a little more, so they rank second from the bottom, and Leeds United ranks from the bottom.

This season the Premier League has become what it is now, which many people did not expect.

Of course, Leeds United is not the only one that is unlucky in the Premier League this season.

Now that three rounds have passed, it is not Manchester United, nor Chelsea, nor Arsenal, Liverpool, nor Sheffield Wednesday that ranks first in the league, but Manchester City.

Manchester City won three consecutive victories in the first three rounds and topped the list with nine points!

Ranked second and third are Liverpool and Chelsea, both with two wins and a draw with seven points, and fourth is Sheffield Wednesday, with six points.

Arsenal ranked eighth, with one win, two draws and five points!

The situation of Manchester United and Leeds United is somewhat similar, but they are much better than Leeds United. They are ranked seventeenth, with two draws and one loss, and two points.

Leeds United and Manchester United are really brothers and sisters!

The Premier League this season really exceeded everyone's expectations. I didn't expect it to end up like this. This is something that many people did not expect.

It seems that this season's Premier League is about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Of course, many people claim that the Premier League has just begun, and the traditional giants and strong teams have not entered the state, but after giving them a period of time, these teams will quickly find their state and come from behind.

However, media reporters have claimed that the relegation of Manchester United and Leeds United is indeed unlikely, but the possibility of them catching up with Liverpool and Chelsea in front is also very small. This season's Premier League championship should be between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Now the media reporters are reporting this way, and they have very strong confidence in Liverpool and Chelsea.

Especially the Liverpool team, they have spent a lot of money this season and brought in a lot of capable players. The Liverpool team seems to be aiming at the Premier League championship.

The current situation is also a very good thing for the Liverpool team. They are still a big step closer to their goal. As long as they do not have problems themselves, the Liverpool team may really win the Premier League championship.

At this time, the Liverpool fans were naturally very happy and excited, and they couldn't stop being so happy.

At this time, everyone is ushering in the fourth round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season. In this round, Leeds United's opponent is their city rival Sheffield Wednesday.

There is a very deep grievance between Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday. There is a very deep personal grievance between the chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, Kramer, and the chairman of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng. Even the information in it was dug out by the "Sun".

"The Sun" claimed that Kramer and Zhong Cheng had a hatred for taking their wives!

The three-page tabloids like "The Sun" are best at excavating and reporting these things. They have figured out the whole story of this matter. The "Sun" claimed that the reason why Cramer entered football was for a woman, and wanted to bring Zhong Cheng down!

After the reports of the "Sun" came out, they aroused the attention and recitation of many people. This is simply the plot of a TV series. These two people are actually jealous, and this guy Kramer is even better. He even bought a club for this matter to mad at Zhong Cheng!

The cost is really too big, we don't understand the life of a local tyrant.

Moreover, after Cramer took over the Sheffield Wednesday team, he poached the corner of Leeds United many times, which made the grievances between the two teams deepen. In addition, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United belong to Yorkshire, and they are Derby rivals.

The grievances between the two teams are even more intense!

Now that these two teams meet together, it will naturally attract the attention of many people, and they will all attract the attention of the media. They are all frantically reporting this game to attract more attention!

This game was played at Leeds United's home stadium, Elland Road Stadium, but Zhong Cheng could only sit in the stands to watch the game and could not leave the field. This is really a very bad thing for Leeds United.

However, this is also the last game of Zhong Cheng's suspension. After this game, Zhong Cheng will be lifted and he will be able to lead Leeds United by himself.

During this game, Kramer came to the scene, Zhong Cheng ignored this guy, and came out of sight and out of mind.

In this game, Di Matteo has never done anything to Van Gaal!

Van Gaal has built the current Sheffield Wednesday team into a very strong team. Last season they ranked fifth in the Premier League, and now they are also ranked fourth in the Premier League. They are very strong.

Di Matteo didn't get any benefits from Van Gaal. In this game, Huntelaar scored twice to kill the former owner. Kramer was very happy, but it was a pity that he did not see Zhong Cheng, which made him very depressed. This is the only fly in the ointment!
