1099 Is This Really Signing?
Chelsea, Leeds United face Chelsea at home.
To tell you the truth, the draw for Chelsea at this time should also be considered a good lot, it can be considered a lot.
This season’s Chelsea is different from previous seasons’. This season’s Chelsea is actually very chaotic. The head coach has changed several times.
During this period of time, Chelsea’s president Abramovich was a bit too eager for quick results.
I wish Chelsea could win the Champions League right away!
Although Chelsea are doing well in the Premier League this season, they do have a lot of problems.
Leeds United’s luck was pretty good. In the European semi-finals, they had already drawn in internal chaos. It was also Real Madrid who had changed their coaches a few times and easily defeated them. And now they’ve picked Chelsea, who have internal problems, what is it if it’s not luck?
Therefore, Zhong Cheng was generally quite satisfied.
Leeds United did well against Chelsea this season, and Zhong believes his team can beat Chelsea.
This season, Leeds United also occupied the absolute peak of the duel between the two teams. Zhong Cheng is very knowledgeable about the match against Chelsea.
Zhong Cheng was full of confidence in the upcoming competition.
Leeds United are confident they can play Chelsea easily. After all, they have been playing against Chelsea all these years. They have done very well and this time they are confident of beating Chelsea.
When Cristiano Ronaldo talked to his teammates about the game, the Leeds United players were full of confidence.
To tell the truth, Cristiano Ronaldo was shocked.
However, when he learned of Leeds United’s record against Chelsea in recent years, he understood. Leeds United have been very strong and impressive in the Premier League these past few seasons, and their record against the traditional top four has been astonishing.
This season’s results are slightly lacking because there were some problems at the beginning of the season.
It also has to do with him, Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn’t join the team at the time, causing some problems for the team. However, he is now part of the team and Cristiano Ronaldo is confident about the upcoming game.
Now the Leeds United players are waiting for the game to come.
The Chelsea players came to Leeds a day earlier, and it was clear that they took the game seriously. This time they were here to steal the victory.
Chelsea’s Abramovich has given orders to Van Gaal and Chelsea players that Chelsea must win the Champions League this season or Van Gaal will be dismissed!
Yes, Abramovich is so desperate.
The Chelsea players are also under pressure and they know the strength of Leeds United very well. However, they also believe that their strength is not bad, this match they are confident in winning against Zionist United.
After the Chelsea man arrived at Leeds, countless media reporters rushed over and surrounded the Chelsea players for interviews.
Chelsea’s players said they were confident they could win the game.
The Chelsea man is confident.
–Division Line–
April 8, 2009, Crown Stadium, Leeds, England!
Today is the gathering of countless fans, they are waiting for the start of the game. At the scene, they all had their necks crossed, staring at the field, carefully identifying the players who had come out.
Today, both sides had discharged the strongest lineup they could dispose of. The starting list of both parties is as follows:
Visiting team: Chelsea, head coach: Van Gaal, formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Peter Cech
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Bosingwa
Three midfielders “left to right”: Michael Essien, Mikel and Frank Lampard
Three strikers “from left to right”: Salomon Kalou, Didier Drogba and Malouda
This is Chelsea’s starting lineup for today. Obviously, there are some positions that are different from their main lineup. Some of the players in the Chelsea squad have suffered injuries and some have been suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
So today, their starting lineup was like this. Especially the midfield trio, there were some changes. The changes were quite big. Mikel started as the starting lineup’s back. It could be seen that Van Gaal was full of expectations for him.
Zhong Cheng felt that Chelsea’s tactics were mainly based on the high-pitched front court. The thickness of Chelsea’s defense in the middle was very high, which had some impact on Leeds United.
Following is the starting line-up for Leeds United today:
Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Four defenders “from left to right”: Ivanovic, Compani, David Louis and Lichtsteiner
Single waist: Stephen M’Bia
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Gareth Bale, Luca Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo
Twin strikers: Diego Milito and Hulk
Leeds United’s starting lineup changed today. Patrick Evra suffered an injury while playing for the national team. Although it wasn’t serious, he still needed to rest for about three weeks, so Ivanovic was in the left-back position today.
Ivanovic did not play much in the early part of the season, but in the middle and late stages he played a lot more. He often played at centre-back and left-back, and even played more than Compani.
Because Kompani was seriously injured, he rested for a period of time.
Therefore, 10,000 Nokia’s condition was very good, so no one had to worry about him.
On the back line, Sedu Keita also suffered minor injuries and was unable to play. He did not even enter the roster. Stephen M’Bia started and Yaya Toure sat on the bench.
Vanguard is the main player, there is no problem. Edinson Cavani, who was also injured at the front, could not play today, starting with Hulk.
Edinson Cavani has suffered many calamities this season. Although he has not suffered any serious injuries, his condition has not reached its peak due to his constant minor injuries. Therefore, his performance this season has been somewhat unsatisfactory. Compared to last season, it is really far from satisfactory.
So far, Edinson Cavani has scored only 13 goals in all competitions.
So this season some people are starting to doubt Edison Cavani, this guy can’t be a shooting star right? Or was this fellow really going to slowly descend and disappear in front of everyone?
Edison Cavani is on the verge of becoming a glass man this season.
This was mainly related to Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng was overusing Edison Cavani. This was Zhong Cheng’s problem. Zhong Cheng had repeatedly said that the responsibility lay with him, but many people did not believe him, so now it was still Edison Cavani who was taking the blame.
However, Zhong Cheng was full of confidence in Edison Cavani. He firmly believed that Edison Cavani would be very powerful in the future.
In the future, Zhong Cheng would pay attention to these problems and would no longer use Edison Cavani like this crazily.
This is the starting list for both sides today!
Seeing Leeds United’s starting lineup, Van Gaal was confident that their Chelsea team would have a good chance of winning this match.

“It’s a goal! The game has just begun two minutes ago. It’s a goal!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
Everyone present was somewhat confused. Was the goal that fast?
Leeds was in a dumbfounded state as he stared at the stadium in disbelief. Wasn’t that true?
“Drogba! Drogba scored, a very easy header in the middle! What’s wrong with the Leeds United players? Did Drogba head so easily?” Eddie Gray’s eyes widened in disbelief!
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng found it hard to believe!
What happened? The Leeds United players’ minds went short? Why did Didier Drogba head home so easily in the middle?
What are the Leeds United defenders doing?
To be honest, the Chelsea crowd was a little surprised. Wasn’t that true? This was too easy!
Yes, it looks so easy!
Salomon Kalou, who had crossed from the side, did not receive any hard-fought attacks or defenses, so he easily and comfortably crossed. This was very different from the usual Leeds United. Before, Leeds United’s defensive tactics were always high-pressure and high-intensity. What was going on today?
Zhong Cheng was also speechless. What kind of defense was this?
The Leeds United players were actually short-circuited. They weren’t in the right state yet. This goal left Zhong Cheng speechless!
Yes, the Leeds United players were a little slow today and were caught by the Chelsea man, falling behind 0-1 from the start.
This was a bit of a disruption to the rhythm of the match.
The Chelsea players took advantage of this opportunity to attack frantically and attack Leeds United in an attempt to score more goals.
On the tenth minute, Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard suddenly threw the ball forward and it rolled at Drogba’s feet.
Didier Drogba took the ball into Leeds United’s box like a bulldozer, carrying Leeds United centre-back Kompani to break Leeds United’s goal with a low kick, 2-0.
And it’s not over yet. Another five minutes later, Chelsea are attacking Leeds United’s forbidden area. This time, the Leeds United players had their own mishaps, and they shouldn’t have made any mistakes. M’Bia’s return ball rolled toward David Louis.
Seeing Didier Drogba rush forward, David Louis and Lixi Steiner were too active. They charged forward crazily and collided with each other, causing the football to leak out. Malouda slanted forward and shot straight at Leeds United’s goal.
Zhong Zheng contributed a miraculous save, but the ball that was saved smashed into David Louis’ back and bounced into Leeds United’s goal.
Three to zero!
Fifteen minutes into the first half, Leeds United were 3-0 behind!
