Episode [360]: Leeds United Aim for the Top of the League Table

A dark night, a corner house, a dark room.

Everything is shrouded in darkness, as if the whole world has entered a dormant time!

However, there was a low, gloomy voice in the dark room.

"Their vigilance is very high, it is difficult for me to go in!" The deep voice said.

There were no other voices in the room, as if only one person was talking to himself, or the person was on the phone.

Yes, someone in the dark is on the phone.

Under the dark night, it is almost impossible to see the face of this person, and it is impossible to recognize who this person is?

It can only be heard from this voice that this is a man!

After the man finished speaking, he fell into silence for a long time.

Suddenly, the man's gloomy voice came back: "The only ones who can get close to their core are his personal assistant Julia Oliveira, and his two confidante Christina and Isabella George..."

Obviously, what this man was referring to was Zhong Cheng, the chairman and head coach of Leeds United!

The darkness fell into silence again!

A minute later, the man's voice sounded again: "Besides the three women who were able to get close, there seemed to be two bodyguards who walked very close to them, able to get close to him and get in touch with his core secrets. The others really have no chance to get in touch with their core secrets!"

Obviously this man and the people behind him are plotting against Zhong Cheng!

Even, this person has already lurked beside Zhong Cheng!

A gust of evil wind suddenly blew in the darkness, and the windows of the dark house in the corner were rattled and banged, as if the glass windows could not withstand the damage of the wind.

After a while, the man's voice sounded again, but it was a little confused in the wind!

The man said: "Yes, it is obvious that their vigilance is very high, maybe some people's assassination made the grass startle, so he will be very careful!"

There was another moment of silence in the darkness. It was obvious that the person on the phone was discussing something with this man?

In the silence, there is only the whistling sound of Yaofeng.

After a while, the man's voice came to mind again: "Okay, I'm standing still for the time being, waiting for your helpers. We can only attack from other places!"

There was another silence, the wind gradually tightened, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the sky, as if a thunderstorm was coming.

It's already December, and there are still thunderstorms now, which is really surprising.

Thunder and lightning flashed, and a torrential rain fell!

In the darkness, I never thought of that man's voice again, as if this man had never appeared in this darkness!

rain! Only rain!

Crashing, the crazy torrential rain is like footwashing water poured down from heaven and earth, crazily washing away the world, as if it wants to wash away the darkness of the whole world.

Rain, mercilessly washing the night!

At this point, the quarter-finals of the English League Cup this season are over.

Leeds United defeated Everton 2-1 at home and successfully entered the semi-finals of the English League Cup this season. At the same time, the other three games are also over. First, Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 and missed the semi-finals. Then Blackburn lost to Arsenal 1-2 and missed the semi-finals. In the end, Chelsea defeated the Red Army Liverpool 2-0 and successfully reached the semi-finals of the English League Cup this season.

The teams that successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the English League Cup this season are Leeds United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea. The strength of these four teams is very good, it seems that there is no upset.

The next step is to draw lots, drawing out the English League Cup semi-final matchup.

The English League Cup to the semi-finals is different from other games in other periods. At this time, the semi-finals will have two rounds of home and away matches. The English League Cup only has two rounds in the semi-finals, and the others are determined by one round.

Soon, the result of the lottery came out.

Leeds United was lucky enough to draw Chelsea, which had a lot of problems this season. Prior to this, Leeds United had just defeated Chelsea, and Grant's team was still not strong for Leeds United. However, if Zhong Cheng selects young players to fight, then Leeds United is still a bit dangerous.

Another game is between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. This is the London derby in England. There should be quite a lot of people paying attention to this game.

At this point in the English League Cup this season, the suspense is getting less and less.

After the lottery results came out, Zhong Cheng was interviewed by media reporters.

Zhong Cheng said: "To be honest, I don't have any expectations or surprises for the result of the lottery, because it has come to this point, the strength of these four teams is very strong, and whoever is drawn is actually the same, so there is no need to care so much!"

The media reporters shook their heads, Zhong Cheng was definitely telling lies.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Yes, although our Leeds United team has entered the semi-finals, we will still give young people more opportunities in the League Cup. Before this season, I told the young people of our team that the League Cup and the FA Cup are their opportunities. If they can make the team go further, they will have more opportunities. Therefore, it is their credit that Leeds United can go to the scene. In the next game, they will still get a lot of opportunities!"

Yes, Zhong Cheng did not play because the team entered the semi-finals.

Zhong Cheng said: "This season, our Leeds United's attention and energy are mainly in the league and the UEFA Champions League. These two events are our pursuit. We need to make new breakthroughs. At the same time, we can also train these young players, which is very good!"

The media reporters nodded slowly when they heard this, maybe Zhong Cheng is quite right.

Zhong Cheng also said: "Chelsea's situation is really not good, but our Leeds United team are all young players. It's really hard to say how the result of this game will be. I think we both have a good fight. I am also full of expectations for this game!"

The media reporters nodded one after another. It turned out that Zhong Cheng meant this!

Zhong Cheng regards the League Cup and the FA Cup as training tools for young players. Zhong Cheng is also a big-hearted guy. He doesn't pay much attention to the English League Cup and the FA Cup. This makes many people very angry.

However, the fans of Leeds United are not angry, because compared to these, the league and the UEFA Champions League are more important, and they hope that Leeds United can make new breakthroughs in the UEFA Champions League.

Zhong Cheng finally said: "This season is indeed much more difficult than the previous two seasons, because now the strikers already know who we are and our strength. Therefore, the enemies we face are more powerful, and they also understand us better. It is very right for us to make choices at this time, as long as we can ensure what we want!"

The media reporters applauded one after another. Crazy Luo Ya didn't lose himself in such a situation. He kept such a clear head, which is very good, he is a powerful guy.

Leeds United has won 13 consecutive victories in the Premier League, and many media reporters exclaimed at Leeds United's results. Of course, the Premier League teams hope to meet Leeds United at this time, because they all want to break Leeds United's winning streak.

Leeds United only lost four games in a row at the beginning of the league this season, but Leeds United has been on a winning streak since then, but still won 13 consecutive games, which is simply abnormal.

Now Leeds United's points have reached 39 points, ranking third in the Premier League!

Ranked first in the Premier League is Arsenal. Their current points are 40 points, which is only one point more than Leeds United. Leeds United are really catching up now.

And ranked second is Manchester United, their points are the same as Leeds United, but they have a slight advantage in goal difference, so they rank second, and Leeds United ranks third!

You see, the results of Leeds United are really dazzling. The 13 consecutive victories are really scary. Their results are so good that they explode!

Zhong Cheng is also very excited. Now they are only one point away from the top of the Premier League. It's just a game. Zhong Cheng is very excited, he can let go of his revenge now, they are the third in the league.

Zhong Cheng is very clear that now Leeds United need to continue to win, so that they are likely to surpass Arsenal immediately and reach the top of the Premier League.

Therefore, every next Premier League game is very important!

Arsenal and Manchester United also felt a lot of pressure. They were all preparing seriously, and they didn't want to give Leeds United any chance.

Especially the Arsenal team, they have missed the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons, this season they are bound to win the Premier League and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, otherwise their Arsenal team will be finished, and Arsene Wenger's life will not be easy.

In the upcoming eighteenth round of the Premier League, Arsenal will face their city rival Tottenham Hotspur, and they will have a London derby. Leeds United's opponent is Middlesbrough, which is now ranked fifteenth, in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and its strength is not strong.

Therefore, now both Manchester United and Arsenal feel a lot of pressure. At this time, they really cannot lose, otherwise Arsenal will surrender their leading position once they lose.

At this time, Leeds United ushered in the eighteenth round of the Premier League match against Middlesbrough. Leeds United went to challenge Middlesbrough away!

In this game, Zhong Cheng lined up a semi-main lineup. Zhong Cheng let many players take a rotation break to prepare for the next game. After that, every game of Leeds United is very crucial. Zhong Cheng must pay attention to it.

The players of Leeds United are also very aware of this, so they all listen to Zhong Cheng.

At the beginning of this game, Middlesbrough still threatened Leeds United with their three axes and caused some troubles for Leeds United. But they were all overwhelmed by the defensively strong Leeds United, and then in the 16th minute of the first half, Leeds United took the lead with a goal from Alexander Pato. Alexander Pato also scored his eighth goal of the season.

In the 15th minute of the game in the second half, another Leeds United striker, Edinson Cavani, scored directly from the front of the penalty area. Leeds United led Middlesbrough 2-0.

And in the 82nd minute of the game, Leeds United's central defender Pique jumped high and scored a header. He defeated Middlesbrough 3-0 and scored three points!
