Leeds United’s third warm-up game of the season is away to Livingston, the Soviets’ premier league team.

Before the game, Manchester Evening News reporter Bradley Wilson vowed: “Mad Roja’s team will lose against Su Chao’s team. Leeds United have no strength to challenge Premier League teams, let alone be ruined by Mad Roja. Leeds United are doomed!”

Pa!

A day later, Leeds gave Bradley Wilson a resounding slap in the face and beat Livingston 1-0 away with a goal from Huntelaar.

Three days later, Leeds United return to Leeds to face Italy’s Serie A promotion to Atalanta at their home Stadio Elena.

Before the game, Bradley Wilson patted his chest and wrote in his column: “Against Atlanta, Leeds United will lose. Atlanta’s Italian defensive counterattack will teach Madman Roja that football is not something he, an outsider, can play! Leeds United, lose!”

Pa pa!

A day later, under the mockery of all the fans, Leeds beat Atlanta 2-1. Italian superstar Albertini scored a deciduous goal and Huntelaar scored again.

In Leeds United’s fifth warm-up game of the season, Leeds United play away to Auxerre in the French League. ,

Before the game, the reckless Bradley Wilson shouted again: ‘Auxerre are Champions League teams and they are very strong. This time Leeds United will die. Crazy Roja’s luck can’t be so good. He’s dead. Auxerre will recognize the cruel reality. He’s a madman. There’s no other way out but to scram! “Comrades, let ‘s pay our respects to madman roja!”

Pa pa pa!

Leeds United beat Auxerre 3-2 at home to Ellen Road and face Bradley Wilson again.

Bradley Wilson’s face was swollen, and it became a post-dinner fixture for fans across the continent. Now they can’t sleep if they don’t see Bradley Wilson getting slapped in the face.

Countless people laughed at Bradley Wilson, causing him to turn ashen, his lungs to explode with anger, and he hated Zhong Cheng to the bone.

At this time, Leeds United ushered in the final warm-up game before the new season, this game Leeds United is away to the Premier League team Everton.

Bradley Wilson saw hope in an instant. He jumped out again and mocked Zhong Cheng crazily, saying, “Madman Roja is finished!” Madman Roja is finally going to be torn apart. In front of Everton, Leeds United was a garbage team that could take whatever they wanted. In front of Moyes, Madman Roja was a garbage team. Madman Roja will be defeated by Moyes in a gorgeous manner. “In this match, madman roja will expose the nature of his bastard. Leeds united will be defeated and will go down the drain, going down the drain!”

This time, Bradley Wilson found an opportunity to retaliate, mocking and humiliating Zhong Cheng, claiming that the decline of Leeds United was about to begin.

At this time, there were many fans on the British continent who wanted to see Bradley Wilson get beaten in the face and see how long he could last.

This was the first time Zhong Cheng had played against a Premier League team in this world. He was very cautious and cautious. This was definitely a fierce battle between Zhong Cheng and Leeds United.

Everton were only relegated in the last few rounds of last season, but they were strong. And Everton coach David Moyes is a very strong manager who has won the Football Association’s Coach of the Year award.

This was also the first handsome person Zhong Cheng had faced since he came to this world.

Zhong Cheng placed great importance on this match, emphasizing it many times before the match, reminding the Leeds players that this was also a good opportunity for them to learn something.

In this match, Zhong Cheng’s line-up was 4132. The goalkeeper was Scott Carson, and the four defenders were Gary Kelly, Pique, Boumsong and Zimbonda. Lower back Russ Diarra, three fronts with Ribery, Modric and Milner, two strikers with Huntelaar and Olic.

Everton played a four-forty-two formation with Martin at goalkeeper, Hilbert, Jobo, Stubbs and Pistone at quarterback, Osman, Graveson, Tie Li and Kieran Kilbani at midfield, and Kevin Campbell and McFadden at double forwards.

In a sense, this match could be considered a Chinese derby.

Everton’s Chinese player Li Tie appeared in the starting lineup alongside Gravesen, both defensive players.

At the beginning of the match, Zhong Cheng felt tremendous pressure. Everton of Moyes was indeed not a joke. This was the level of the Premier League.

Previously, Leeds United’s seemingly decent defense had some problems here.

Graveson and Tie Li, two of the top performers in the middle of the road, the Leeds United players were really a bit unbearable, Las Diarra’s performance is not bad, but Luka Modric’s defensive weakness is too weak exposed to the skin.

Everton striker Kevin Campbell picked up Li Tie’s pass in the 20th minute of the first half. He changed direction slightly and shot from the far corner. Russ Diarra’s defense was a little late, giving the opponent room.

Zhong Cheng couldn’t say anything about this goal. Las Diarra had really done a good job. But against an Everton-level team, Leeds Lenovo couldn’t defend against Russ Diarra alone.

First, the Leeds players were still young. Second, the Leeds players really did not understand this defensive tactic. Third, Everton’s strength was indeed stronger.

Zhong Cheng frowned on the sidelines. He was considering whether to directly replace Modric and let Albertini play so that he could keep two people in front of the defence.

However, Zhong Cheng also knew that if Modric was replaced at this time, it would have a great negative impact on the young Modric’s heart.

Zhong Cheng bit his lips and pondered.

Bradley Wilson jumped up in excitement, frantically waving his fists and roaring, “Madman Loria, you’re finished! Madman Loria, you’re finished! Hahaha! You’re a fucking hammer, go to hell! That’s where you belong, Madman Loria!”

Zhong Cheng could not hear Bradley Wilson’s howl, nor was he in the mood to pay attention to it. He was currently thinking of a solution.

Zhong Cheng suddenly thought of Oli ć. This was an untiring, aggressive striker. His stealing ability was very good. This fellow could also kick the front waist, and it was even possible for a guest to run around the back waist.

However, Zhong Cheng did not push Oli ć back. He wanted Oli ć to retreat back to midfield.

Leeds United’s formation changed to 4141. Olic and Modric played at the front waist. This time, Lulitz United had three defenders in midfield. They covered a large area and had an advantage in numbers. This was to curb the performance of Everton’s two tough men, Gravesen and Li Tie.

Seeing this, Moyes exclaimed, “Interesting!”

Moyes thought that Zhong Cheng would choose to replace Modric, who had little effect today, with a waist. He didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to do this, and the effect was very good. Moyes couldn’t help but look at Zhong Cheng twice. This fellow didn’t seem like a piece of shit like the reporters from the outside world had boasted.

As the game continued, Leeds United’s defensive line gradually stabilized and there was a counterattack. Modric created a miracle with a straight shot. Unfortunately, Huntelaar was interrupted by Jobo and missed the ball. This was the best chance for Leeds United in the first half.

After this attack, the game was relatively calm. Leeds United’s defense seemed to have stabilized, and Everton’s advantage was not as great as before.

Bradley Wilson was anxious in the stands, and he looked forward to Moyes stopping Zhong Cheng and letting out a sigh of relief for him. He was cheering for Everton in his heart, hoping that Everton would increase their offense.

However, Moyes was not anxious at all, as if he was satisfied with the current situation, which made Bradley Wilson very angry.

At the end of the first half, Leeds United were 1-0 behind Everton.

During the break, Zhong Cheng did not criticize the Leeds players, but praised them for playing well and hoped they could continue to do so. Of course, he also pointed out the mistakes made by the Leeds players in the first half and told them not to make such mistakes again.

At the same time, Zhong Cheng also reminded the players of Leeds United to concentrate on defending, giving Everton players enough pressure to not let Evertonians easily use the ball to make movements and pass the ball, and to be tough when defending, especially when facing iron men like Gravesen and Li Tie.

The Leeds United players said they knew, and then filed out.

Zhong Cheng did not change players. He believed that this lineup could last another ten to twenty minutes, paralyzing Everton’s players, and then replacing them with Albertini for 60 minutes.

However, Zhong Cheng was too optimistic. Everton launched a quick attack at the beginning of the second half. Osman’s kick from the side sent the football flying into the restricted area of Leeds United. McFadden jumped high from behind and smashed the football into Leeds United’s goal, 2-0.

The Everton fans cheered, but they weren’t the happiest people on the scene. The happiest person now was Bradley Wilson. He could really lift his eyebrows and humiliate Zhong Cheng. He wanted to vent all the anger he had suffered recently.

Zhong Cheng sighed. He had underestimated Moyes and Everton. He was careless. He should have switched players in midfield. This time, there was a problem with Modric.

In order to take into account Modric’s feelings, Zhong Cheng changed Modric as soon as possible. After a few minutes, he changed Modric into Albertini.

After changing into Albertini, Leeds United’s defense was much better and their offense had improved.

Albertini’s precise long pass has created a lot of trouble for the Evertonians and Liz United winger Stephen Ribery is too fast for them to catch him.

Zhong Cheng asked Modric to carefully observe Albertini’s style of playing on the sidelines, hoping that Modric could occasionally learn something and grow as soon as possible.

On the pitch, Albertini’s accurate long cross found Huntelaar in the front court. Huntelaar headed over and Ribery scored with a kick. Leeds United scored a brilliant attack.

However, they weren’t happy for long when Everton’s tough guy Gravesen suddenly shot out from a distance of 36 from the goal, sending out a world wave and the football flew into Leeds United’s goal.

In the end, Zhong Cheng’s Leeds United lost 3-1 to Everton at Moyes, ushering in the first and final defeat of the season’s warm-up.

After this warm-up match, the Leeds United warm-up match was over. The new season of the Champions League was coming and Zhong Cheng was about to start fighting for promotion.
