Reading's head coach Koppel said this to the media reporters: "Yes, our opponent Leeds United is very strong, but their current state is very bad. They have lost four games in a row. Obviously, they want to end the losing streak as soon as possible, but I believe that such a thing will not happen to the Reading team!"
Reading's head coach Koppel is 51 years old and is also a relatively well-known head coach in England.
Because Koppel did a big thing in Reading last season, that is, he led Reading to win the Championship with 106 points and successfully upgraded to the Premier League. Broke Leeds United's Premier League championship points and became the first in history.
Even counting when the previous League One was in the second level, Reading's performance is still the first in the epic. Back then, Koppel was the best coach in the English Championship and became a well-known figure.
Last season, in the Premier League, Koppel led the newly promoted Reading team to perform very well in the Premier League, leading Reading to the eighth place in the Premier League.
The FA actually awarded the honor of the best head coach of the season to Koppel, not Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, let alone Leeds United's head coach Zhong Cheng who won the championship in a counterattack.
This naturally made many Leeds United fans very unconvinced. They all believed that the best coach of the Premier League season last season should be Zhong Cheng!
Many people in other regions think so, but the FA gave this award to Koppel.
To be honest, Koppel's results are indeed very good, and his award can be justified.
The only thing that can't pass is Zhong Cheng's place!
If Zhong Cheng doesn't get the award, why should Koppel win the award?
Anyway, he is now the best head coach of the double season in the Premier League and the English Championship. His name is very famous, and he is also a godfather figure in the Reading team.
This Koppel also coached the Crystal Palace team before, when he had Sun Jihai under his banner. Koppel attaches great importance to Sun Jihai. This summer, Koppel also claimed that their Reading team will introduce Sun Jihai.
Moreover, the Reading team also made an offer to Manchester City, but Manchester City directly rejected their offer.
This is something that Koppel feels very sorry about.
Now facing Zhong Cheng, Koppel is very confident. He said: "The current state of Leeds United is very bad. Although Loja is back, I believe it is impossible for him to find his state so quickly. In this game, their Leeds United have no chance. The winner must be our Reading team!"
Obviously, Koppel is very confident!
This is indeed the case, it is not long before Zhong Cheng takes over the team again. Moreover, Zhong Cheng flew to Monaco and Switzerland before, so he had no time to take over Leeds United. Now Leeds United is still led by Di Matteo and Naismith.
Although Zhong Cheng is back today, but the time is too short, it is impossible to change anything!
Therefore, Koppel has a lot of confidence in this game.
Koppel also said: "Our Reading team has been preparing for this game for a long time, and our Reading team now has a reason to win!"
The current results of the Reading team are not very good. After four rounds of competition, they have achieved one win, one draw and two losses. With four points, they rank in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.
This season, the Reading team is obviously about to start relegation.
Therefore, in Koppel's view, this game is Reading's relegation battle. Koppel regards Leeds United as the most powerful enemy on the road to relegation, and Koppel doesn't want to be done by Zhong Cheng.
If Zhong Cheng knew what Koppel was thinking now, Zhong Cheng would really be dumbfounded!
Our goal for Leeds United is to win the championship, not relegation!
However, at this time, the media in England believed that this season's defending champion Leeds United was going to relegation. It might be that Leeds United would not be able to relegation this season and would be directly relegated to the English Championship.
Yes, the media reporters really hope that such a thing happens, because this is the big news!
Even if Leeds United completes three consecutive Premier League titles, it is not as big as Leeds United's continuation of relegation to the Championship this season!
Before the game, the head coaches of the two sides spat at each other, which raised the expectations of this game a lot, and attracted the attention of countless media reporters.
And everyone is very concerned about the result of this game of Leeds United. Will Leeds United usher in a five-game losing streak at the beginning of the Premier League?
Of course, many people think that the possibility of this is very, very big!
The current situation of Leeds United is very bad. Even with Zhong Cheng, what can they do? Leeds United is not the only one to lose!
Now everyone is waiting for the arrival of this game!
━━━Separation line━━━
On September 1, 2007, Reading, Berkshire, England, the weather was fine!
On this day, England's summer transfer door has officially closed, and there will be no more transfers.
Today, Reading's home stadium, Madejski Stadium, was packed!
This is a very small stadium, only capable of holding 20,000 people!
But today there was passion and laughter, as the Reading fans, in their blue and white striped shirts, were here to cheer for their team.
Reading fans are full of expectations for this game!
This game will be Reading's top game, which is simply a godsend. The Reading fans sang the Reading team anthem, and then cheered for the Reading team.
There are indeed not many Leeds United fans who came to the away game today, only less than a thousand people. They are wearing the team's white jersey, to cheer for Leeds United.
These Leeds United fans are all die-hard fans of Leeds United. They hope that the players of Leeds United can find themselves in this game and rise again.
And today the coach of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng, is back. The fans of Leeds United are full of expectations for this game!
Fans of Leeds United shouted Zhong Cheng's name one after another, because this name represented endless hope, so people screamed excitedly. Although there were few people, their voices still wafted from the scene.
Leeds United are really here for victory this time.
When Zhong Cheng appeared in the stadium, the Leeds United fans who came from afar were very excited and waved and shouted at Zhong Cheng. They seemed to have seen Leeds United win.
Today, Zhong Cheng formed a 4-1-3-2 formation, which is different from Di Matteo's formation. The list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [left to right]: Patrick Evra, Pique, Kompany and Bakary Sagna
Single midfielder: Mohamed Sissoko
Three forwards [left to right]: Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Joaquin
Forwards: Luca Toni and Alexandre Pato
Yes, Zhong Cheng made a rotation against Leeds United today. Both Samir Nasri and Edinson Cavani sat on the bench, and the players who replaced them were all young people.
After seeing the formation of Leeds United, the fans of Reading were pleasantly surprised. Leeds United is digging their own grave. In this game, their Reading team must win.
Reading coach Koppel raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. Zhong Cheng and Di Matteo are different people. Zhong Cheng seems to have done a little roller skating, but in fact he really has something to say.
Koppel reminded the Reading players to pay attention to Leeds United's attack on the left!
Obviously, what Zhong Cheng adjusted was Leeds United's left attack. Although Samir Nasri performed well before, he was still a bit out of touch with Leeds United.
Now Zhong Cheng is in line with Gareth Bell. This guy has been in Leeds United for a season. He is very familiar with Leeds United. Now, Leeds United's two flank threats have come up. Reading is very difficult to parry.
Sure enough, he deserves to be the master who won the best coach of the season. Looking at the problem, he really saw the key point.
However, Koppel doesn't have much to do now. Who said that the Reading people have no money and cannot introduce too many talented players?
Now, in front of Leeds United, the Reading team seems a bit stretched.
The match had been underway for some time, and the interior of the Madejski Stadium was silent.
Reading fans can see that their team is in very big trouble now. After Zhong Cheng came back, the strength of Leeds United has indeed improved a lot. Their Reading team can only parry now, and Leeds United's offense on the two wings is too sharp.
The strength of Gareth Bale, a young man, is really beyond everyone's expectations. His speed makes Reading fans feel a lot of pressure.
At this time, the Reading people no longer had the relaxation and freehand feeling they had before the game. They felt a lot of pressure and were very worried.
Zhong Cheng sat quietly on the sidelines, and it looked like he had won the game.
In the thirty-fifth minute of the first half, Lao Tzu's fierce attack finally achieved results. Gareth Bale on the wing suddenly dribbled the ball and made consecutive breakthroughs, reaching the Reading penalty area. Then he picked a pass directly to the back point, and Edinson Cavani, who rushed up from the back point, dived to the top near the small penalty area, and the football flew into the Reading team's goal quickly, one to zero.
All the Reading fans at the scene put their heads in their hands, and they felt that the game had gone far.
At this time, Koppel was gesticulating on the sidelines, directing and adjusting, hoping to change the current situation.
But in the 10th minute of the second half, Luka Modric sent a beautiful through ball in the middle. The young Alexander Pato directly succeeded in counter-offside, entered the penalty area of the Reading team, and sent the football into the Reading team's goal.
At this time, Leeds United has secured the victory!
Koppel shook his head helplessly, this lunatic Loya is really amazing!
Leeds United's offense was not over yet. In the 40th minute of the second half, Leeds United's center Luca Toni was violated. The substitute Yoan Gourcuff scored a direct free kick into Reading's goal, 3-0!
Leeds United beat Reading 3-0 away and won their first Premier League victory of the new season!
The fans of Leeds United were instantly happy, jumping up one after another, shouting Zhong Cheng's name frantically, cheering for Zhong Cheng, celebrating!
