Episode [335]: Leeds United's Eleventh Consecutive Victory

3 to 1, Leeds United defeated Coventry and advanced to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup this season.

The teams that entered the League Cup quarter-finals are Blackpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester United was upset by Coventry as early as the third round.

Soon, the English League Cup quarter-final matchup table also came out.

Leeds United face Everton, Manchester City face Tottenham Hotspur, Blackpool face Arsenal and Chelsea face Liverpool.

Arsenal's game should be the easiest, and Leeds United's game is still relatively difficult. Everton's strength is still very strong, and David Moyes' ability is also very good. It is very difficult for young Leeds United to pass this level.

The game will be played for more than a month, and there is still a long time to go.

At this time, many media reporters turned their attention to Leeds United's Robert Lewandowski and Jerome Boateng.

Media reporters claimed that these two people were super parallel importers, claiming that this was the strongest evidence that the madman Luo Ya also had poor eyesight. When introducing these two people, Zhong Cheng gave them a very high evaluation, but the performance of these two people is very bad, and they are not worthy of the evaluation of the lunatic Luo Ya.

And the performance of these two people is very clumsy, they have worked very hard in the game. But the strength shown is very bad, such a player has no future at all.

In this game, Robert Lewandowski did send an assist, but don't forget that he is a center forward. The data I look at is goals, not assists. This Robert Lewandowski has no future and is a parallel import.

The pressure on Robert Lewandowski is really too great!

Zhong Cheng specifically found Robert Lewandowski and Jerome Boateng to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.

Zhong Cheng glanced at the two of them and asked, "What do you think of the statements made by outside media reporters?"

Jerome Boateng's heart skipped a beat, while Robert Lewandowski was very unconvinced!

Robert Lewandowski immediately said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not fall into your reputation, I will let them understand that your vision is still sharp!"

Zhong Cheng chuckled, shook his head slightly and said, "You are wrong! My name doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that you are worthy of yourself. All your efforts now are for yourself, don't let yourself down. I know your level and potential very well. I hope you will not be swayed by the nonsense of the outside media. We are very optimistic about you!"

Jerome Boateng nodded immediately and said seriously: "Boss, don't worry! I will not let you and myself down!"

Robert Lewandowski also nodded firmly.

Zhong Cheng said: "You still have a lot of competition opportunities in the future. I hope you will not be so nervous in the future competitions and show your full strength. You are very strong. Please remember this!"

Robert Lewandowski and Jerome Boateng suddenly had a feeling that they would die for their confidantes, and each of them nodded solemnly to express their understanding.

Zhong Cheng reached out and patted the shoulders of the two, and then said directly: "Okay, you guys go back and train hard, and be ready to play at any time!"

Jerome Boateng and Robert Lewandowski both nodded firmly before turning away and heading back to training.

Zhong Cheng carefully observed the training of Leeds United. Jerome Boateng and Robert Lewandowski seemed to have really let go of the burden in their hearts. They played very quickly in the training match and performed very well, especially Jerome Boateng. This guy seemed to be a little enlightened.

Jerome Boateng is a master-level figure with outstanding comprehension skills. And after being approached by Zhong Cheng, Di Matteo, and Albertini to talk one after another, this little guy really got his head around it, performed very well, and also grew up a lot.

Di Matteo suddenly came to Zhong Cheng's side and said, "This kid has grown up very fast, even surpassing Mats, whom you value more!"

Yes, at the beginning, Zhong Cheng was more optimistic about Hummels.

However, it now appears that Jerome Boateng has grown faster than Hummels!

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly: "Jerome is a genius. He has a great body. He is also very fast and flexible. He has a great awareness of interception and positioning. He must be a world-class central defender in the future. I just didn't expect him to grow so fast. It seems that the own goal in the last game stimulated him!"

Di Matteo also nodded and said: "Recently, this little guy has been training very hard, and whenever he has time, he will come to ask me and Demi for advice. It seems that this guy is really brave after knowing his shame, and is working hard!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, he really deserves to be the absolute main central defender of the German national team in the future! His success does not seem to be a fluke, Zhong Cheng is more assured of Jerome Boateng.

Suddenly, Zhong Cheng turned around and asked Di Matteo, "How is Frank?"

Di Matteo immediately said: "Mark said that Frank's injury has fully recovered, and in the recent training, his state has recovered well. But he is still far from his peak state, after all, he hasn't played for a long time!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, that is indeed the case, it seems that the matter of Frank Ribery can not be rushed, it still needs some time.

DiMatteo suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked: "Could it be that you want Frank to play in the next game?"

In the next game, Leeds United will face Slavia Prague at their home court. This is the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The opponent's strength is not very strong, Zhong Cheng really has this plan.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said: "The opponent is not strong, and Frank can indeed go up to find his status!"

Di Matteo raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is true that the opponent is not very strong, so we can give it a try. However, let's forget about starting the game, it's too risky!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, thinking that Di Matteo was right!

Zhong Cheng is ready to let Franck Ribery play the game, but not as a starter, but as a substitute!

In the first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League, Leeds United has won two consecutive victories and is now at the top of the last group of the UEFA Champions League group stage. It is really not difficult to qualify from this group, Zhong Cheng wants to give more people some opportunities.

In this game, Zhong Cheng arranged such a starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Simon Mignolet

Back four [left to right]: Gareth Bale, Pique, Jerome Boateng and Sagna

Single midfielder: Seydu Keita

Three forwards [left to right]: Eden Hazard, Luka Modric and Joaquin

Forwards: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani

This game still gave some young people a chance, such as Simon Mignolet, Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard and Jerome Boateng and others.

Yes, Jerome Boateng is starting!

To be honest, Jerome Boateng didn't even think of it himself, and he was very shocked.

However, thinking of what Zhong Cheng said to him before, Jerome Boateng was not nervous at all and devoted himself to this game. Not to mention, Jerome Boateng's performance in this game is really remarkable.

In the first minute of the game in the first half, Leeds United's winger Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard had a very beautiful cooperation. Then Gareth Bale made a cross, and Luca Toni, who followed up from the center, headed directly to the goal and succeeded, leading 1-0.

Yes, Leeds United are off to a flying start!

This goal set the tone of the game. The strength of Slavia Prague is really bad.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Leeds United midfielder Luka Modric sent an exquisite through ball. The football directly penetrated Slavia Prague's defense. Edinson Cavani succeeded in turning offside.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Leeds United got a corner kick. Joaquin took a corner kick, Pique from the front of the penalty area headed back, and Luca Toni's header from the middle succeeded again, 3-0.

Luca Toni scored twice!

Before the end of the first half, Luca Toni received a cross pass from Edinson Cavani and directly shot the empty goal. Luca Toni completed a hat-trick in halftime.

Leeds United ended the first half with a 4-0 lead.

The strength of Leeds United is indeed strong, and the strength of Slavia Prague is indeed poor. This half of the game is a manifestation of the strength of both sides. Leeds United's performance in the UEFA Champions League is very strong.

Recently, the state of Leeds United is also very strong, winning consecutive victories one after another. Obviously, they have now won ten consecutive victories in all competitions, which can be called a giant.

Just after the start of the second half, Zhong Cheng made substitutions. He replaced Eden Hazard with Frank Ribery, Luca Toni with Alexander Pato, and Pique with Ivanovic.

Obviously, Zhong Cheng replaced some of the main players and let them rest.

And replacing Eden Hazard is to let Frank Ribery go up to find his status.

Franck Ribery returned from injury, the Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited and chanted Frank Ribery's name, which moved Frank Ribery very much, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Leeds United fans have not forgotten him Frank Ribery!

As soon as the second half started, Leeds United scored a goal. Of course, this goal has nothing to do with Franck Ribery. The football came from the other side. Joaquin passed it diagonally into the penalty area. The football was touched by the opponent's defender and rolled out of the penalty area. Luka Modric from the front of the penalty area rushed up with a heavy shot. The football roared past and flew into the goal of Slavia Prague, 5-0.

Leeds United has gone crazy, and Slavia Prague has no power to parry.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Leeds United won a corner kick. Joaquin took the corner kick. Ivanovic from the center of the penalty area jumped high and scored with a header. Leeds United led their opponents 6-0.

This game was completely under the control of Leeds United, and Slavia Prague had no chance at all. In this game, they really accompanied the prince to study.

In the 22nd minute of the second half, after Edinson Cavani received a long pass from the backcourt in the penalty area, he stopped the ball in the chest and picked the ball. Then he volleyed directly and the football flew into the goal of Slavia Prague. Edinson Cavani scored twice. Leeds United led Slavia Prague 7-0.

At the end of the game, Slavia Prague's central defender accidentally hit the football into his goal. Leeds United defeated Slavia Prague 8-0 at home and scored three points!
