1182 Leeds United Is Really Going to Be Crushed
Zhong Cheng still didn’t agree to José Mourinho!
Yes, Zhong Cheng still doesn’t want to send Diego Milito away. This guy has only been here for a season and has a contract with Leeds United. There’s no hurry.
However, Diego Milito was in a trance during the next two days of training.
Zhong Cheng could tell that Diego Milito really wanted to leave Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng couldn’t figure out why Diego Milito left Leeds United and stayed at Leeds United, could he? Leeds United are a very promising team!
Unfortunately, Zhong Cheng wasn’t Diego Milito, so he didn’t know what he was thinking!
Zhong Cheng had to seriously consider this question.
In the next two days, Zhong Cheng had the Leeds players lighten their training load because their first game in Cape Town was coming. Reducing their training was to let them have a good rest and prepare for this warm-up match.
It was also Leeds United’s first warm-up game of the new season.
Zhong Cheng valued this warm-up very much. What Zhong Cheng indifferently valued was not the results, but the process. Zhong Cheng wanted to see how the Leeds United players were doing. See how they’re doing when they fall to the ground?
Zhong Cheng had a lot to observe.
Leeds United’s opponent in this match was Cape Town’s Ajax. This club’s strength was not very strong, and this should not cause too much trouble for Leeds United.
In fact, it was not the case!
After the game started, Leeds United had fallen to the bottom.
Zhong Cheng understood that the high-intensity training a few days ago had a very, very great impact on them, so much so that they were passive in this match.
However, the Leeds United players were still very defensive, so even though the game was passive, the Leeds United did not concede the ball. Of course, Leeds United didn’t have many chances to counterattack, and those chances were a sign of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo’s ability to keep up.
In the thirty-ninth minute of the first half, Leeds United conceded!
Simon Mignolet saved an accident. He slapped the football on David Louis’s back and bounced into the goal. Leeds United were 1-0 behind.
The score was unexpected.
After conceding the goal, Leeds United obviously stepped up their offense and wanted to level the score as soon as possible.
At this time, Mesut Özil was doing very well, which made Albertini and the others nod their heads, claiming that Mesut Özil could take over Luka Modric’s class. Of course, there were still some problems with his teamwork with the Leeds United players. However, these problems weren’t too big. He only needed half a month of training.
However, after the first half of the game, Leeds United still did not equalise.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United had a massive substitution, with a lot of young players appearing on the pitch, such as Kyle Walker, Danny Ross, Matts Hummels, Tony Cross, Eden Azar and Diego Costa.
Leeds United were a full substitute in the second half.
The youngsters at Leeds United are obviously not as dominant and controlled as their predecessors, but their impact is stronger and they play with more passion.
However, the Leeds United players are not in their best condition. They did create some opportunities, but they couldn’t grasp them.
On the contrary, the opponent had seized an opportunity before the end of the match to counterattack successfully.
Yes, Leeds United’s first warm-up game of the season was a 2-0 defeat to Cape Town Ajax. After this match, the media from all walks of life looked at Leeds United, claiming that Leeds United was really doomed.
Without Luka Modric and Yaya Touré and Sedu Keita, Leeds United’s system has collapsed and nothing can be done for them in the new season.
At this time, it was countless people who claimed that Leeds United were doomed.
Of course, everyone thinks that if Leeds United don’t bring in some super-strong players this summer, Leeds United will really sink this season.
Looks like Sheng Ji is bound to decline as expected!
Right now, countless people were waiting to see Leeds United’s joke!
Zhong Cheng did not care!
Losing this game wasn’t a big deal. The results of the pre-season warm-up matches weren’t the most important. The most important thing was for Leeds United to discover problems, correct mistakes, and become stronger in the new season.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng did not pay much attention to the loss of this match.
However, the intensity of Leeds United’s training had really increased!
The Leeds United players are back in a miserable state of life, and this fitness reserve training is really life-threatening.
Zhong Cheng ignored this and handed it over to his assistant, Canales.
Zhong Cheng was discussing the tactics of the new Seliz United with Albertini, Nai Smith, and the others. Of course, the general tactics would not change, only some fine-tuning would be made. After all, the current players of Leeds United were different and could not follow the same routine.
Furthermore, Zhong Cheng proposed to strengthen the training of offensive positions.
Leeds United were already a strong team. Many clubs would choose to defend against Leeds United. If Leeds United continued to defend, the average Leeds United team would definitely be more than enough this season.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng had prepared a set of offensive tactics.
This set of offensive tactics, Leeds United, was previously trained by one team, but none of them were as specific as they are now. Zhong Cheng had reorganized this tactic and redesigned it according to the characteristics of the current Leeds United players.
After discussing with Nai Smith and the others, Zhong Cheng made a fine-tuning, and then came up with a set of offensive tactics. Zhong Cheng drew up these training plans and handed them over to Albertini and Nai Smith, telling them to instil this tactic into the players of Leeds United as soon as possible, so that they could practice this tactic in a month or two.
The Premier League will be even more difficult this season!
The training of the Leeds United players had become even heavier. Even the old Leeds United players could feel that this training task was much more difficult than before. The Leeds United players were too tired to say anything these days.
Very quickly, Leeds United welcomed their second warm-up game to South Africa.
Leeds United’s second warm-up match was against Ajax of the Netherlands. Yes, it was the real Ajax Club, not the Satellite Club.
The Ajax Club is quite strong, They were Dutch giants and had once won the Champions League. However, after coming out of Bosman’s rule, Ajax Club became the youth training facility of the five European leagues. Many of the stars Ajax had trained left Holland and went to the five European leagues.
The best players like this had already left. The Ajax Club had left behind some second-rate players. Therefore, their current strength was a bit weaker than those of the top rich and powerful teams in Europe.
However, their youth training is still very famous.
However, after Zhong Cheng came out, the name of Europe’s number one youth training cradle changed. Now everyone was staring at Leeds United. Leeds United had recently produced countless superstars, making all the clubs want to poach from Leeds United.
Against Ajax, Zhong Cheng did not have any requirements for results. He only hoped that the players of Leeds United could display their current state and level to let him have a good look and then prepare for the next stage of training.
In this match, the Leeds United players were in a much better condition than in the previous match, but their physical condition did not improve significantly. They were still tired.
Yes, after all, Leeds United had recently increased their training intensity. Zhong Cheng and the others could understand how tired the Leeds United players were.
The Ajax Club is clearly much stronger than the Cape Town Ajax Club.
The Ajax Club controlled the rhythm of the game and could be said to be attacking Leeds United. However, Leeds United’s defense was indeed formidable. The Ajax Club did not break Leeds United’s goal.
There were no accidents in the first half and Ajax did not break Leeds United’s goal.
Therefore, after the first half of the match, the two sides were tied 0-0.
At the beginning of the second half, the game was a turbulent one. Cristiano Ronaldo had two consecutive attacks on Ajax’s goal. Both chances were very, very good. He was about to score a goal.
Unfortunately, Ajax’s goalkeeper made two miraculous saves to keep the goal safe.
Zhong Cheng could only helplessly shake his head when he saw this. Today, Leeds United’s luck was not good.
Leeds United didn’t get a good chance after missing out on both, but Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale still threatened the other team’s goal.
However, the second half of the game did not last long before the two of them were substituted.
Leeds United are now playing again with a group of young players who, like last game, are playing more passionately, more eager to score goals and win. They are attacking crazily. Tony Clos has scored a few very good straight shots, but Diego Costa and his teammates haven’t played well enough to score.
Ajax have also stepped up their offense, but Leeds United’s defensive line has been well maintained. Ivanovic is a very good performance, very eye-catching, one of the best performers in the game.
The Ajax Club really wanted to break through to Leeds United’s goal, but Leeds United’s defense was really strong. The Ajax Club expended a lot of effort but still failed to break through Leeds United’s goal. In the end, the two sides were tied 0-0 in this match.
The result of the game naturally drew another wave of criticism and mockery. They believed that the Leeds United team was really finished this season. After these two games, Leeds United’s performance has been very, very mediocre. If Leeds United continue to perform like this in the new season, it will be very difficult for them to make it into the top six of the Premier League this season.
It is now claimed by countless media that Zhong Cheng destroyed the prosperous Leeds United for money. If Zhong Cheng held the money tightly in his hands and didn’t bring in some powerful players in the transfer market, Leeds United would be doomed.
