The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1362
1362 Perverted Front Field Attack Combination
Zhong Cheng slowly walked back to his coaching seat and sat down.
On the other side, Guardiola’s gaze was fixed on Zhong Cheng’s back. After Zhong Cheng sat in his seat, he slowly turned around and sat down.
Although Guardiola had been very tough in front of Zhong Cheng, he still felt a lot of pressure. Their opponent was not only defending champion Leeds United, but also their home ground. It was not their turn to fight back.
Leeds United were not as easy to deal with as they had imagined.
At this moment, the fans on the scene were excited, all of them were so excited that they jumped and jumped like three-year-olds.
Leeds United fans roared with excitement as they welcomed their players.
Yes, right at this moment, the players from both sides walked out of the players’ passageway.
At the forefront of the competition is the referee team from Italy. It is said that the referee team will be participating in this year’s World Cup in South Africa. They will be refereeing the World Cup.
Then, the players from the two teams walked in with vigorous steps.
“Alright, now that the players from both sides have walked out of the tunnel, the match is about to begin. Now, let’s use this time to introduce the starting lineup of both sides for today. Everyone, please pay attention!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Well, first of all, we have Mr. Mark Lawrenson to introduce the starting line-up of the visiting team Barcelona!” Eddie Gray said immediately.
Mark Lawrenson glanced at Eddie Gray and immediately said, “Alright, this game is about to start. Now let me introduce Barcelona’s starting lineup and see how this is different from what everyone expected before the game?”
Following is the starting line-up for Barcelona:
Visiting team: Barcelona, head coach: Jos é Guardiola, formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Victor Valdes
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Maxwell, Puyol, Gerard Pique and Alves
Three midfielders “left to right”: Iniesta, Marquez and Xavi
Three strikers “from left to right”: Thierry Henry, Ibrahimovic and Rio Messi
This is Barcelona’s starting lineup for today. This is Barcelona’s absolute starting lineup. But Thierry Henry is a rotating star.
To be honest, many people today did not expect Thierry Henry to be on the starting line-up. Isn’t Jose Guardiola supposed to start Pedro at this point?
Yes, Jos é Guardiola attaches great importance to Pedro. He is very concerned and devoted to his training. Apparently, Jose Guardiola is feeding Pedro an unlimited future.
However, today the young Pedro did not appear in the starting line-up, but excluded veteran Thierry Henry. Apparently, Jos é Guardiola was still feeling a little guilty, wanting to make Barcelona more stable and experienced.
Yes, Jos é Guardiola thought Leeds United were too powerful, so he chose Thierry Henry.
However, Barcelona’s forward trident was truly formidable, extremely formidable.
And Barcelona’s strongest midfielder is Rain, especially Iniesta and Xavi, which is the key to Barcelona. Jos é Guardiola once said that the most important assists in Barcelona were not Messi, but Xavi and Iniesta, especially Xavi.
That’s why Jos é Guardiola had previously questioned the selection of the European and World Players of the Year, arguing that both Xavi and Iniesta deserve to be promoted to the shortlist, and that at least one of them could win the award.
Hence, Jose Guardiola attaches the utmost importance to the midfielder.
Barcelona is really amazing. This front court is really going to explode. No wonder Mark Piercy is looking forward to Barcelona. What they said is very reasonable.
Barcelona have used Samuel Eto’o to bring in Ibrahimovic this season. For now, Ibrahimovic and Guardiola are working well together, but there are still some cracks between them.
However, for the time being, this crack was still very small and did not substantially affect the relationship between the two of them. However, a calamity had already been planted between the two of them. It could not be said that this conflict was about to erupt before long.
“This is Barcelona’s starting lineup for today. They are really strong. Next up, let’s invite Eddie Gray to introduce the starting lineup for today’s home team Leeds United!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Alright, everyone has seen Barcelona’s starting lineup. They are indeed very strong. However, compared to our Leeds United team, they are still a bit lacking. The winner of this match will definitely be our Leeds United. We are confident!” Eddie Gray first expressed his confidence.
Then Eddie Gray continued: “Alright, let me introduce the starting lineup for Leeds United today.”
The starting lineup for Leeds United today is as follows:
Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Compani, David Louis and Lichtsteiner
Double waist: Sammy Hedilla and Stephen M’Bia
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Marco Reus, Mesut Özil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Single striker: levandovsky
Today, Leeds United’s list of tricks had changed a little, and it had changed a little. Because at the very least, the formation had changed, from 4-1-3-2 to 4-2-3-1, clearly strengthening the defensive midfield.
Zhong Cheng added a man to his back, which meant that he was afraid of Barcelona’s attack, otherwise he wouldn’t have changed his formation. But to be honest, Barcelona’s front court configuration is really, really awesome. Leeds United really have a good reason.
Look at Xavi, Iniesta, Rio Messi, Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic in Barcelona’s front court. Which is better?
Although Zhong Cheng trusted Sammy Hedilla very much, Zhong Cheng still needed to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield and give more protection to the defensive line.
Barcelona’s attack was very strong, Zhong Cheng was careful not to make a mistake.
Moreover, Leeds United’s game was also a defensive counter-attack, so it wouldn’t be too much of a problem to lose a man at the front. Leeds United’s counter-attack was basically waiting for the second line of attack, namely, the changed Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Reus, who were fast enough to support Lewandowski.
Therefore, Levandovsky’s main goal in this match was to stand at the center.
Guardiola saw the formation of Leeds United and immediately understood Zhong Cheng’s intentions. Not only did he not feel relaxed, he felt even more difficult. Leeds United put on such a formation, which is a very difficult problem for Barcelona.
Barcelona are definitely going to attack, but Leeds United’s defense has instantly become much thicker. It’s really hard to break through.
Guardiola knows a lot about Leeds United. Moreover, the two teams had fought before. He knew that Leeds United’s defense was formidable. Even though Leeds United were tightly packed with a man at the back, the intensity of their defenses was multiplying exponentially.
However, Guardiola had anticipated this before the game, so he was not particularly afraid. This only made it difficult for Barcelona. Guardiola was confident in his players, very confident.
Guardiola believes Barcelona will win this game.
The Barcelona players nodded slightly when they saw Leeds United’s starting lineup. Their head coach was really amazing. He had thought of Leeds United’s strategy before the match and they had more confidence in this match.
Yes, the Barcelona players feel they are certain of winning this game.
At this moment, the players on both sides were standing on the field, in their respective positions. The match was about to begin.
At this moment, the referee was already working hard, and the match was about to start.
“Barcelona are starting with Gerard Peeker today. Gerard Peeker is facing his old club again. To be honest, Gerard Peeker has never defeated Leeds United since he left. I wonder if Gerard Peeker will change his fate this time.” Said Mark Lawrenson.
Although, Leeds United and Barcelona are now close enemies, competing for the only spot. But at the same time, Leeds United fans put up banners for Gerald Pique to welcome him home.
Leeds United fans still like Steven Gerrard Pique very much.
Although Gerald Peeker was the one who wanted to leave Leeds United, Leeds United fans understood that it was not Gerard Peeker’s fault. But good fortune.
At the scene, Leeds United fans even shouted Gerard Peeker’s name.
Gerald Peeker was very excited and grateful. These Leeds United fans were really cute. Gerald Peeker really felt like he was home, even though he had never played at Crown Stadium in the future at Leeds United.
Gerald Peeker immediately applauded. After all this last night, the match was really about to start. The fans on both sides had already entered their roles. The referee had also made his final preparations for this match. The match was about to begin.
At this moment, the referee of this match blew the whistle at the beginning of the match.
“Alright, the game officially begins. The first team to kick off is Barcelona. They are wearing traditional red and blue stripes. They are attacking from the left side of the screen to the right. Leeds United are wearing their traditional white shirts and attacking from the right side to the left side of the screen!” Mark Lawrenson shouted loudly.
The game has begun and Barcelona have the ball.
