Episode 051: The Unexpected and the Unexpected

"Friends from the audience, friends from the fans, now the players from both sides have played, and now we can see the starting lineups of both sides today, and then we will introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrence said immediately.

"Yes, now it's up to us to introduce the starting lists of both sides today!" Eddie Gray said the same.

Today's starters are as follows:

Team: Portsmouth, Manager: Redknapp, Formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: James

Four at the back: Primus, Khredason, Kaboul and Lauren

Four in midfield: Diop, Las Diarra, Distin and Kranjica

Two forwards: Crouch and Defoe

This is the starting lineup for Portsmouth today, and there are some changes from last season. Kabul appeared in the starting lineup on the back line. At the same time, Distin did not appear in the position of the central defender, but appeared in the position of the midfielder, which surprised everyone.

Many people have speculated that after Kabul came, he directly squeezed Distin away?

Of course, it is the midfielder Lars Diarra who attracts the most attention. Yes, this player who once played for Leeds United. The star who once grew up in Leeds United has now come to play for Portsmouth. This is indeed very unexpected.

Shouldn't Lars Diarra be in the Arsenal team at this time?

Las Diarra went to Chelsea when he first transferred and left, and he also played well in Chelsea. But after Jose Mourinho left, Las Diarra became emotional and he didn't want to stay at Chelsea.

Because Grant didn't seem to like him, and Grant liked the kind of tall midfielder, Lars Diarra was excluded, so he chose to go to Arsenal in the middle of last season.

However, in the Arsenal team, Las Diarra did not get too many opportunities, because in front of him, there were Fabregas, Gilberto, Diaby, Alexander Song and others, and his appearance in the midfield was very low.

So Lars Diarra chose to leave after five months at Arsenal.

At that time, many wealthy clubs took a fancy to Las Diarra, such as Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Lyon in France, and Ac Milan in Serie A. Ac Milan wanted Las Diarra to replace Gattuso.

But what is surprising is that Lars Diarra chose Portsmouth, which is beyond everyone's expectations. Now he is the main defensive midfielder of Portsmouth, which is his dream main position.

However, looking back and imagining now, if you just racked your brains for a main position, then why did you leave Leeds United back then? You are the absolute main force in the midfield at Leeds United, the best bodyguard around Luka Modric.

Now I ran around outside, this is the more I live, the more I go back!

I don't know, did Lars Diarra regret leaving Leeds United and went to Chelsea at this time?

However, now Lars Diarra is playing against Leeds United, this is really a very interesting game.

Therefore, after seeing Portsmouth's lineup, everyone has more expectations for this game.

Looking at Portsmouth's striker, Crouch and Defoe are a classic combination of high and fast.

Seeing this, everyone should understand that Redknapp's tactic in this game is to defend and counterattack, otherwise he would not hoard so many defensive players in the midfield.

It seems that Redknapp is going to discuss defensive tactics with Zhong Cheng.

Next is today's Leeds United starting lineup, the list is as follows:

Team: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four: Patrick Evra, Gary Cahill, Mats Hummels and Glenn Johnson

Single midfielder: Seydu Keita

Three forwards: Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Marco Reus

Forwards: Diego Milito and Edinson Cavani

This is today's Leeds United starting list.

Seeing this list of tricks, Leeds United fans and media reporters were very disappointed, extremely disappointed, and everyone on the scene was speechless.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who made them dream of him, did not start today. This is really too deceitful of everyone's feelings.

Of course, the fans and media reporters at the scene saw Cristiano Ronaldo from the side of the Leeds United bench. But everyone is not happy, because Cristiano Ronaldo is sitting on the sidelines wearing a black suit today, not the Leeds United sports suit!

Leeds United's sports suit was designed and manufactured in cooperation with China's Li Ning. Leeds United's substitute players are now wearing this sports suit, only Cristiano Ronaldo is wearing a black suit.

The results speak for themselves!

Cristiano Ronaldo has no game assignment at all today!

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo not only did not appear in the starting lineup, he was not even qualified as a substitute, he did not enter the 18-man squad of Leeds United!

The fans and media reporters are very uncomfortable. They came to see Cristiano Ronaldo today. Who knew that Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear in the squad. This is really sad.

This guy Zhong Cheng is really disgusting!

However, Zhong Cheng is still good, at least let everyone see Cristiano Ronaldo. Didn't Cristiano Ronaldo appear on the bench on the sidelines at this time?

Leeds United fans are a little helpless!

However, it makes sense to think about Zhong Cheng's arrangement carefully. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo made his official debut at Leeds United two days ago. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to practice with Leeds United. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo has been exhausted, and his body should not have recovered to his best condition, right? Therefore, Zhong Cheng did not let him start today.

Although everyone can figure it out, they are still very awkward!

Everyone is here for Cristiano Ronaldo, how can he not play? Even if you let him show up at the last minute!

It is a pity that their dreams cannot be disappointed.

"Sure enough! It really disappointed everyone. Crazy Loya didn't let Cristiano Ronaldo play in the game. This is the same as I guessed. If not, how could Leeds United keep the starting list to such an extent?" Mark Lawrence was also very disappointed.

"I think the main method should also be involved in this matter. They are also co-conspirators. After all, they know that if everyone knew that Cristiano Ronaldo would not play the game, today's new Wembley Stadium would not be so popular!" Eddie Gray said.

Mark Lawrenson didn't speak, but he nodded firmly.

The media reporters on the sidelines suddenly felt that the game was meaningless. This was the double disappointment brought about by high hopes!

Bian Yuqing was also in a low mood, and she couldn't help turning her head and staring fiercely at Zhong Cheng on the Leeds United coaching bench. Of course, Zhong Cheng couldn't feel it. Zhong Cheng's attention was all on the court.

At this time, players from both sides were already standing on the court, and the referee was waiting for the time, and the game was about to start.

At this time, the referee of the game blew the whistle to start the game.

beep!

After hearing the whistle, the fans on both sides of the scene were full of blood and captured, shouting frantically, cheering for their teams. At this time, they all forgot about Cristiano Ronaldo and devoted themselves to this game.

The first kick-off was Leeds United, wearing their home white jerseys, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left.

As soon as the ball came out, it rolled to the feet of midfielder Luka Modric.

Before Luka Modric had the ball, he saw Marco Reus rushing forward from the right. Marco Reus is still very young, but his speed is very fast, which is called "little rocket" by their head coach Zhong Cheng.

Yes, since then, Marco Reus has a nickname, and the players of Leeds United don't call him by his name anymore, they all call him Little Rocket.

Now the little rocket has taken off, and the speed is so fast that everyone on the scene was shocked.

After seeing Royce's speed, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting on the bench, was also surprised and exclaimed: "He is so fast, like a bolt of lightning!"

Portsmouth fans were taken aback.

With a bang, Luka Modric sent a precision-guided long pass directly into the forward line of Marco Reus.

The ball is passed very well, the power angle and ball speed are perfect. And the amount of advance given is just right, Marco Royce doesn't need to slow down at all, he can directly move the ball along, and the opponent's defensive player can't touch the football.

The passing of this ball is really perfect.

Marco Royce caught up with the football and gently poked the football forward, and the football quickly rolled between Primus' legs. Marco Royce rushed past Primus like a flash of lightning and caught up with the football.

"Beautiful, Marco passed! He's going to cut inside, Portsmouth is going to be finished!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.

The fans of Leeds United were very pleasantly surprised. They didn't see Cristiano Ronaldo today, but they saw Marco Reus. Marco Reus gave them a big surprise!

After passing Primus, Marco Reus cut directly into the Portsmouth penalty area with the ball.

Perhaps because the game has just started, the Portsmouth players have not yet entered the state, and their defense was penetrated so easily!

"Danger!" Mark Lawrenson roared frantically.
