Leeds United beat Liverpool 3-1 at their home stadium, Elland Road.
Looking at the process of this game, Leeds United seems to have won easily, relying on three counterattack opportunities to score three goals and win this game. In fact, it is still very, very difficult and fortunate for Leeds United.
Because Leeds United put more energy into defense.
Liverpool's offensive strength is not weak, and Leeds United can hold the ball until the end before conceding the ball, which shows that the players of Leeds United let go.
The last goal conceded in this game was due to some physical problems of the Leeds United players.
Yes, the physical fitness of the Leeds United players is very strong, and they rarely have physical problems during games. But it appeared in this game, which shows that the Leeds United players consumed a lot in this game.
Liverpool's striker put a lot of pressure on Leeds United!
In defense, the players of Leeds United really put in a lot of effort, pressing and making physical contact, blocking fouls, etc., which really consume too much energy.
In the end, Fernando Torres was not stared down, and Fernando Torres scored a goal, which shows that Fernando Torres is really good, very good.
After the game, Zhong Cheng said: "Fernando Torres is a super-strength player. He is very, very good, really good. We conducted a lot of offensive and defensive drills against him in this game, but we still let him score. He is very impactful, and the Liverpool team has found a treasure!"
Yes, Zhong Cheng praised Fernando Torres severely!
After this game is over. Leeds United has achieved an astonishing 20-game winning streak in the Premier League, and the entire British continent has been shaken. Is Leeds United going against the sky this season? This is a new winning streak in the Premier League. What Leeds United are breaking now is their own record, and every consecutive win in the following games is a new record.
The media reporters in the British mainland were stunned. Leeds United is so strong?
Many media claimed that this season seems to belong to Leeds United again. Leeds United will dominate the Premier League for three consecutive years!
The media reporters all took a breath, Leeds United is simply a record smasher!
At this time, the media reporters in Englanddale were also frantically praising Zhong Cheng, claiming that Zhong Cheng is a super famous coach, the king of winning streaks!
Zhong Cheng's reputation in the world is getting louder and louder, and even many national teams hope that Zhong Cheng can coach, including the Three Lions!
Of course, Zhong Cheng will not give up Leeds United, he will not coach any England team!
The twenty-fourth round of the Premier League is over. The 20-game winning streak of Leeds United has now reached 60 points, ranking first in the Premier League.
The second place is still the Red Devils Manchester United, with 57 points, three points behind Leeds United. The third place is still Sheffield Wednesday. Their points are also 57 points, and then the goal difference is behind Manchester United.
Ranked fourth is the Arsenal team. Their points are 56 points, which is a very good result.
This is the current ranking of the top four in the Premier League. To be honest, everyone is not particularly surprised that Leeds United ranks first in the Premier League, because Leeds United is the defending champion after all, and they have dominated the Premier League for two consecutive times before. They are ranked first, which everyone can expect.
What shocked everyone the most was the Sheffield Wednesday team. At this time, they are still ranked third in the Premier League. This is indeed unexpected. Can the Sheffield Wednesday team really win the world with a group of old men?
Of course, many media reporters predicted that the Sheffield Wednesday team will definitely be weak. Because the average age of the Sheffield Wednesday team is too high, it is very, very amazing to be able to achieve the current results.
Ranked fifth is Chelsea. Their points are 53 points, and they continue to hit the top four. The sixth-ranked Liverpool team has 43 points, and it is believed that they have already lost their qualifications for the Premier League championship. At the same time, Liverpool's qualification for the UEFA Champions League is very hanging. Next season, Liverpool's team may go to the UEFA Cup.
Three days later, the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League is coming!
The time also entered February 2008, and Leeds United went to an away game to challenge Wigan Athletic.
This game, Leeds United is an away game, but there are still a lot of people paying attention, and a lot of Leeds United fans followed them to the away game. Because Leeds United fans want to witness Leeds United's winning streak, and they want to participate in it.
The fans of Leeds United are really happy during this period. Every match day seems to be a holiday, and they are really excited.
Of course, Zhong Cheng believes that Leeds United cannot stop their winning streak, because Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday are chasing too closely, and now they are only three points away from Leeds United, just one game away.
If Leeds United lose a game, it is very likely that they will lose the top position in the league, and they will not even be able to keep the second position. Therefore, Leeds United must continue the winning streak and continue winning streak.
In this game, Leeds United's opponents were not strong. Zhong Cheng made tactical adjustments and attacked as soon as he came up. This caught Wigan Athletic by surprise. In the 19th minute of the first half, Leeds United center Luca Toni stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area, and then shot the ball into Wigan Athletic's goal. Leeds United led 1-0.
At the beginning of the second half, Leeds United striker Luca Toni headed the ball away. Edinson Cavani also stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed the ball directly into Wigan Athletic's goal. Leeds United defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 and won their 21st consecutive Premier League victory.
In this game, Edinson Cavani and Luca Toni scored goals in the same way, but Edinson Cavani's goal was more difficult because the distance was longer and the arc was more beautiful. And Luca Toni's shot is powerful and full of violence.
Leeds United has won 21 consecutive victories, and the entire British continent is trembling. Leeds United are too fierce.
After this round of competition, the Premier League standings have undergone some changes.
Ranked first is still Leeds United, with 63 points. The second place is no longer Manchester United, but Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield Wednesday has 60 points. The third place is still not Manchester United, because Manchester United was tied by Tottenham Hotspur in this round, and the third place became Arsenal, with 59 points. Ranked fourth became the Manchester United team, and their points were fifty-eight points!
The competition for the top four positions in the Premier League is still very fierce, but almost everyone believes that Leeds United's position should be very stable, and their strength is really too strong.
On February 9, 2008, Leeds United ushered in the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League this season. Leeds United played against Birmingham at their home court.
There are still two highlights in this round of matches, that is, Chelsea against Liverpool, Manchester United against Manchester City at home, Sheffield Wednesday against Everton, Arsenal's opponents are weaker, Arsenal have a chance to go one step further.
Zhong Cheng didn't have the mind to pay attention to the next game, his attention was all on his own game.
Now Leeds United are under a lot of psychological pressure. After all, they have won 21 consecutive victories, and everyone wants to continue the winning streak. But this has become a psychological pressure for the Leeds United. They want to win but not lose, and sometimes they will be timid.
It was very obvious in this game that Leeds United's opponent, Birmingham, is not strong. However, the players of Leeds United were afraid of losing during the game, they kept shrinking, and the psychological pressure was too great, and the defense had many problems.
Moreover, he was too hasty in the offense and got a lot of opportunities, but it was difficult to break through the opponent's goal. Leeds United are in trouble, big trouble.
Just when everyone thought that Leeds United's winning streak had stopped at 21 games, in the 90th minute of the game, Gareth Bale, who came off the bench, scored a beautiful direct free kick for Leeds United. Leeds United narrowly beat Birmingham 1-0 and won the victory.
It is very difficult for Leeds United to win the 22nd consecutive Premier League this season!
The media reporters in the British mainland took a deep breath. Leeds United is really lucky. If this ball ends earlier, Leeds United's winning streak will be gone.
Arsenal won this game, Manchester United unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Manchester City, while Chelsea and Liverpool ended in a draw, and Sheffield Wednesday also unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Everaton.
In this round of the game, there are really many surprises in the Premier League.
At the end of the twenty-sixth round of the league, Leeds United still topped the list with 66 points. The second ranked team was replaced again. Now the second ranked team is Arsenal with 62 points. Sheffield Wednesday ranked third with 60 points, and Manchester United ranked fourth with 58 points. Chelsea ranked fifth with 55 points, Liverpool ranked sixth with 47 points, and Everton ranked eighth with 47 points.
This is the current situation in the European theater of the Premier League.
Obviously, Leeds United is very good about the current situation. They have widened the gap with the chasers behind, because the second-placed Arsenal team is four points away from them. This is the gap between the two games.
At this time, Leeds United ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup this season, and Leeds United played away against Middlesbrough.
In this game, Zhong Cheng had a rotation, and the main players of Leeds United also needed to rest.
Lewandowski appeared in front of everyone again.
The last time Lewandowski played, he scored his first goal joining Leeds United. However, everyone continued to think that Lewandowski was a parallel importer, and it was impossible for this guy to score.
In this game, Lewandowski was still holding back his energy, wanting to score a goal, and slapped these people hard in the face. But Lewandowski was unlucky, he did not score in this game. These fans and media reporters immediately clamored that Lewandowski is a parallel importer, a piece of garbage, and the goal in the last game was a fluke and luck.
Lewandowski can't get out, he will be eliminated sooner or later, because he is a super big parallel importer!
