Episode [450]: Successive Defeats, Disheartened
Leeds United came to Elland Road Stadium to face the thirty-sixth round of this season.
Leeds United take on Newcastle United at their own home ground, and it's an inconsequential game. But Leeds United fans and Leeds United staff want the team to win.
Zhong Cheng thought so too!
Although Leeds United has won the championship ahead of schedule, Leeds United's league winning streak will continue. Moreover, Leeds United's opponents are not very strong, and Leeds United must win this game.
Leeds United have to create more brilliance.
However, in this game, Zhong Cheng still carried out a rotation, replaced some of the main players, and asked some young players to play this game. One is to give these players a rest, and the other is to let the young players feel the atmosphere of the game and exercise.
Moreover, after the end of this season, there is still the European Cup to be held,
Many of the main players in the Leeds United team are the main players of the national team. Many of them are going to participate in the European Cup. It is also necessary to rest at this time.
Zhong Cheng knew what these players thought, so he made a rotation.
In this game, Zhong Cheng replaced a lot of young players, and his forward partners were Lewandowski and Pato.
To be honest, current fans and media reporters are very interested in Lewandowski.
Countless people are staring at Lewandowski now. This guy has shown a certain potential, but it seems that Lewandowski is still a lot different from what they expected.
Lewandowski has only scored four goals in the final of the League Cup this season, and has not scored in other games. It seems that Lewandowski is just lucky. If he is lucky, he is just a parallel importer.
Especially in the FA Cup semi-finals, Leeds United's opponents were not strong. In fact, they should be able to win and win the FA Cup, but it was because Lewandowski's performance disappointed everyone and eventually lost the semi-finals.
In that game, Lewandowski was very disappointing.
After that, Lewandowski didn't have many opportunities to play, and his performance was not satisfactory.
Now everyone wants to see what Lewandowski is. In this game, Lewandowski started, and everyone can see clearly.
However, Lewandowski's performance in this game was very poor.
In the 90 minutes, he got a lot of chances, but he couldn't break the opponent's goal, especially there were two very good chances, but he didn't send the football into the goal.
In this game, Leeds United defeated their opponents 2-1, and it was Pato and Pique who scored the goals!
Leeds United won their 32nd consecutive Premier League victory this season, which really caught a lot of attention! Leeds United is really a fortress this season, it is simply a super devil.
Zhong Cheng didn't pay too much attention to these, because Zhong Cheng felt that there were some problems in the Leeds United team, and it seemed that people's hearts were floating!
At this time, Leeds United ushered in the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League this season. Leeds United went to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.
Yes, this is the penultimate round of the Premier League this season, and the season has come to an end.
This season Manchester United is actually not considered a failure. Although they performed very well in the league and did not win the league championship, they reached the final of the UEFA Champions League this season.
This is enough for Leeds United to envy, Manchester United is going to win the UEFA Champions League again.
This season, two teams from the Premier League entered the UEFA Champions League final. However, the other team that advanced was not Liverpool, which defeated Leeds United. Liverpool lost to Chelsea. Chelsea and Manchester United advanced to the final together.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng felt a little surprised seeing this.
This season, the Chelsea team really didn't perform very well. After Jose Mourinho left, Chelsea was obviously affected, and their performance began to decline. However, Grant is not bad. He did not break the wealth and system left by Jose Mourinho, and did not integrate his own things. He followed Jose Mourinho's tactics completely, so he still had a good performance. They reached the top four in the league and also reached the UEFA Champions League final. They performed very well.
At this time, Abramovich was very happy and very excited.
You see, how correct is Lao Tzu's decision?
Jose Mourinho did perform well when he was with Chelsea before, and he also won the Premier League championship. But in the UEFA Champions League, where they place particular emphasis, Jose Mourinho did not shoot.
You see, Jose Mourinho has just left our Chelsea team and reached the final of the Champions League. What does that mean? It shows that it is absolutely correct to drive away Jose Mourinho.
Abramovich is the only leader of Chelsea. As long as we follow my footsteps unswervingly, we Chelsea will be able to create endless brilliance!
Yes, Abramovich has straightened his back now, who would dare to say that it was wrong for me to fire Jose Mourinho?
We Chelsea can reach the Champions League final without Jose Mourinho, so why do we have Jose Mourinho?
At this time, Abramovich gave Chelsea's players and coaches a death order. They must win the UEFA Champions League this season and beat Manchester United. Must win!
Yes, Chelsea's goal now is the UEFA Champions League.
Likewise, Manchester United's goal is also to win the Champions League!
Now there is no goal in the league, even if they win all the last two rounds of the league, they will not be able to catch up with Lao Tzu I. Right, if they lose all the last two rounds, they will not lose their second place. What is the point of this league?
Therefore, even if this game is at home, even if their opponent is their mortal enemy Leeds United, Alex Ferguson has also carried out a rotation.
Yes, Manchester United is now all about the Champions League.
This season, the Manchester United team must not be empty of all four. Now these main players of the Manchester United team can take a good rest and accumulate energy for the UEFA Champions League final.
On Zhong Cheng's side, there are also young players selected, and the purpose is the same as before.
When he came to Old Trafford, Zhong Cheng was naturally booed and cursed fiercely by Manchester United fans.
If it weren't for this damn guy, the Premier League title for the whole season should be their Manchester United team. Instead of their mortal enemy Leeds United, Manchester United fans hate and dislike Leeds United very much, so they and Leeds United are natural mortal enemies.
Manchester United fans crazily attacked Leeds United, and at the same time called on the Manchester United players to teach Leeds United a lesson, so that the Leeds United guys know how good Manchester United is.
However, Alex Ferguson sent his blessings to Zhong Cheng. He held Zhong Cheng's right hand and said, "Congratulations, Loya! You Leeds United have created a miracle and won the Premier League three consecutive times. You are really amazing!"
Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Manchester United team is even better. You have already achieved three consecutive Premier League titles, and you have reached the final of the UEFA Champions League this season. I think your Manchester United team is the biggest winner this season!"
Alex Ferguson chuckled and said, "Thank you for your good words, our Manchester United team is bound to win the UEFA Champions League!"
Zhong Cheng is really envious, because the ultimate goal of Leeds United this season is to win the UEFA Champions League. It's a pity that they lost to the damn Liverpool team again in the quarter-finals, and now the Liverpool team has become the life and death enemy of Leeds United.
The outside world claims that Liverpool is the nemesis of Leeds United!
The Liverpool team is very uncertain, a typical robbing the rich and helping the poor, otherwise their results in the Premier League would not be so bad!
For the current game, Zhong Cheng still has some confidence, because Manchester United's main focus is still in the UEFA Champions League. In this game, they are sending some substitute players, so there shouldn't be much threat.
In Manchester United's starting list, Zhong Cheng also saw Dongfang Zhuo!
Yes, Manchester United let Chinese striker Dongfang Zhuo appear in the starting line-up today. Dongfang Zhuo got some chances to play this season. However, his performance disappointed many people, especially Alex Ferguson.
Originally, Alex Ferguson still had some expectations for Dongfang Zhuo, but unfortunately his performance this season was really disappointing. Many people claim that after the end of this season, Dongfang Zhuo will be cleared by Manchester United.
Zhong Cheng kept staring at Dongfang Zhuo on the court. Alex Ferguson pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "What? You've taken a fancy to Dongfang? If that's the case, you can take him away!"
Zhong Cheng frowned, he suddenly felt that this was not a good thing!
Zhong Cheng turned his head to look at Alex Ferguson, and immediately said: "No, no, no! I just feel a little embarrassed when I look at him. He is very talented. But his character and injuries have limited his growth. He could have become an iconic figure in Chinese football, what a pity!"
Alex Ferguson also nodded slightly, agreed with Zhong Cheng's words, and said, "Yes!"
Zhong Cheng could see that Alex Ferguson's regret was very real.
Suddenly, Alex Ferguson said: "How about selling Franck Ribéry in your squad to us Manchester United?"
Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment, my God, what's going on? Alex Ferguson's thinking is too jumpy, and he was tuned to this in one go. This special design is too blunt, right?
Zhong Cheng stared at Alex Ferguson with a wry smile!
Alex Ferguson immediately said: "Don't prevaricate me with the reason that it is not for sale! I think you should be very clear that being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons has already made some players in your club think about leaving! After all, the current group of Leeds United players have won many honors under your leadership, but the only thing that is worse is the UEFA Champions League. Many players will definitely choose to leave for the entire Grand Slam. You will not deny this point, right?"
Zhong Cheng was stunned. No wonder he felt that the hearts of the Leeds United players were fluctuating recently. It turned out to be the reason!
To be honest, Zhong Cheng knew that Alex Ferguson was telling the truth.
Leeds United has been defeated in the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons. It is inevitable that some players will be discouraged by Leeds United. It is understandable that they want to leave Leeds United.
What surprised Zhong Cheng the most was what Alex Ferguson told him. In other words, the players who already have Leeds United are now trying to leave Leeds United.
