Of course, there was no hatred between the fans of the two teams. When they arrived at the stadium, the atmosphere was harmonious. Even the fans of the two teams greeted each other. It was really too harmonious.
This scene caused the commentators to feel a little uncomfortable!
As expected, this was a friendly match, a pure friendly match.
Of course, the friendly meant that the fans on both sides would be friendly, but the players on both sides would definitely not show mercy on the pitch because both sides needed to win.
Leiden Dongfang can’t rise to the second place, they naturally hope to keep this second place, but also catch up with the Chelsea team ahead, they also want to win the Premier League championship.
Regarding this match, Leiden Oriental was also very confident. Whether it was the head coach or the players, they knew Leeds United very well. They had a very good chance of winning this match.
“We have a very big chance of winning this game,” said Brandán Rogers, head coach of Leiden Orient. “I hope that you guys will get up and play this game and bring the victory back!”
Brandán Rogers is really confident!
The Leiden Oriental fans were also confident that they knew Leeds United too well. Leeds United may not understand them, so they have a big advantage now.
Yes, that’s what the people of Leiden East think now.
Zhong Cheng had only one goal for this match, and that was to win.
The position of Leeds United is also very awkward. If they lose at this time, they will really be in the middle of the Premier League and will fall behind Chelsea by a lot. At that time, there will be no way to compete for the Premier League title.
Zhong Cheng had sent out all the main players he could now. It was clear that Leeds United were going to clash with Leiden East in this match.
The starting lineup for Leeds United today is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Danny Ross, Compani, Gary Cahill and Lichtsteiner
Single waist: Sammy Hedilla
Three midfielders “from left to right”: Gareth Bale, Tony Clos and Cristiano Ronaldo
Twin strikers: van Nistelrooy and Alexander Pato
Yes, this is the starting lineup for Leeds United today. Apparently, there are some Leeds United rotation players in the starting lineup. That’s because many of the main players of Leeds United are recovering from their injuries on FIFA International Day.
Today’s lineup is the best starting lineup Leeds United can play.
Zhong Cheng came to the sidelines and gave Brandán Rogers a hug. The two of them were close friends and tears flowed down their cheeks when they saw each other again.
The first thing Brandán Rogers said when he saw Zhong Cheng was, “Holy shit, Crown Stadium is so imposing!”
What could Zhong Cheng say?
When did this Brandán Rogers guy become like this? His way of thinking had become so peculiar that the words and atmosphere that Zhong Cheng had prepared had instantly dissipated.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Holy shit, the new Rogers is really weird!”
Brandán Rogers glared at Zhong Cheng, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Zhong Cheng and Brandán Rogers exchanged a few words before returning to their respective seats. After that, they had to put aside their friendship. On the court, there was no relationship between friends and apprentices. There were only enemies.
In this match, Brandt Rogers was Zhong Cheng’s enemy.
Zhong Cheng knew about the Leiden Oriental Club. The opponent’s players were all very special and powerful. He was slightly surprised that this team could achieve such a strong result. He could only say that Brandán Rogers did a very good job and was very good!
However, Zhong Cheng believed that their Leeds United team would definitely win this match.
Many of the players in Leiden East are on loan from Leeds United and Zhong knows them very well. Moreover, those players who were not on loan to Leeds United were all recommended by Zhong Cheng, so he was also very familiar with this team from Leiden Orient.
Zhong Cheng also had a lot of thoughts about this match. Leeds United would definitely win this match.
Soon, the game began. Leeds United used the advantage of the home court to push forward. Of course, they did not press forward crazily, but slowly. This made Leiden Oriental Club feel very uncomfortable.
Brandán Rogers looked at the current Leeds United and kept nodding his head in admiration. “The boss is really amazing. The Leeds United team is way too different from when he was at Leeds United. The Leeds United team is much stronger and more comprehensive now. They don’t only know how to defend and retaliate!” “The boss is really too powerful!”
The players of Leiden Orient felt a strong pressure and pressure from the beginning of the game. They felt that Leeds United were really strong, it was completely different from the Premier League teams they had met before.
Strong, Leeds United is too strong.
This was not the strongest Leeds United. If the Leeds United squad was well-rounded, what would happen? The players from Leiden East didn’t dare to imagine.
At this moment, Leeds United winger Cristiano Ronaldo erupted.
After receiving a very ordinary pass from midfielder Tony Close, Cristiano Ronaldo swung a Marseille swing past the midfielder’s defender and passed the opponent with a crotch-piercing pass against the pouncing full-back.
Cristiano Ronaldo went straight into the box with the ball.
The Leiden Oriental fans who came all the way here were shocked. Cristiano Ronaldo was really amazing.
At this time, Leiden East’s young centre-back Jerome Boateng immediately came forward.
Jerome Boateng was a teammate with Cristiano Ronaldo and he knew how powerful Cristiano Ronaldo was. He was already very young Cristiano Ronaldo, but he was still shaken away by Cristiano Ronaldo.
That’s not to say he’s good. Jerome Boateng did a great job, but he was still broken through by Cristiano Ronaldo.
It could only be said that Cristiano Ronaldo was amazing.
Tiago Silva exclaimed, “Holy shit, the World Player of the Year is indeed worthy of his reputation!”
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo won the World Player of the Year last year, and he is still the favourite to win the World Player of the Year today.
Tiago Silva was amazed at how powerful Cristiano Ronaldo was.
But Tiago Silva’s feet weren’t slow at all, shoveling straight at Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have anticipated it. He gently moved the ball to the side, dodged the tackle, and then shot the ball into Leiden East’s goal.
Yes, in the tenth minute of the first half, Leeds United broke through Leiden East’s goal and took the lead. Of course, the ball was mainly attributed to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in great shape today.
Leeds United fans were shocked. Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and rested for a while. It was a great game.
The Leiden Oriental Club naturally would not admit defeat just like that. They immediately attacked crazily, wanting to level the score.
To tell the truth, Leiden East’s offensive power was still very strong, giving Leeds United a lot of pressure.
The players in the front two wings of Leiden Oriental Club were really too agile, and their speed was also very fast. They had excellent skills under their feet, and their cooperation in passing down the field made the players of Leeds United feel very uncomfortable.
Leiden Dongfang knew of the threats many times. In the 29th minute of the first half, Demba Ba directly headed the ball forward and ferried the ball to the back. Griezmann, who followed behind him, directly shot the ball into Leeds United’s goal.
To tell the truth, Zhong Zheng’s reaction was already very fast. His right hand touched the football. Unfortunately, there was still no way to stop the ball from flying into Leeds United’s goal.
One versus one, the two teams were evenly matched.
Both teams have shown great strength, which is in line with their current ranking on the Premier League table. Both teams are strong players.
At this moment, Leiden East had another excellent attack on the pitch.
Football came under De Bruyne’s feet in the front court. Yes, it came under De Bruyne’s feet again. This fellow’s delivery ability was very outstanding. He was always able to deliver some unexpected balls.
Sure enough, De Bruyne sent an imaginative pass.
Lidenba Ba fell to the ground and shoveled the ball towards Leeds United’s goal. The speed of the ball was very fast.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into Leeds United’s goal, Zhong Zheng stretched out his long arms.
Zhong Zheng stood in front of the door and saved the day.
The ball was so beautiful that Leeds United fans immediately gave Zhong Zheng thunderous applause and cheered for him.
This ball was indeed too beautiful. Zhong Zheng was indeed worthy of being England’s number one goal.
At the end of the first half, the two sides drew 1-1. The players and fans on both sides were not satisfied with this result. Both sides had the chance to lead, and they wanted to win.
Very quickly, the second half of the match officially began, and Leeds United attacked as soon as they got up.
In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Leeds United striker Alexander Pato was tripped by midfielder Schneiderin of Leiden East, and Leeds United got a very good free-kick from the front court.
The Leiden East fans were nervous, very nervous.
Because they knew that Leeds United had a few excellent free-kicks. The chances of losing the ball were very high. They were very worried and nervous.
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo and the man from Gareth Bale stood in front of the goal.
Just these two people made the Leiden East fans nervous.
Before the referee’s whistle, Gareth Bale sprinted forward while Cristiano Ronaldo stood there.
Everyone in Leiden East thought that Gareth Bale was a cover, the real gesture was Cristiano Ronaldo, so the players in Leiden East did not move.
Gareth Bale sent an arc and the football immediately bypassed the wall and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
Leeds United took the lead 2-1.
