Finally, Leeds United drew 2-2 at home and beat Barcelona 2-1 away. In the end, Leeds United beat Barcelona 4-3 to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals of the season.
So the 2009-2010 Champions League quarter-finals were all born: Lyon, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Leeds United.
At the same time that the top four were formed, the semi-final matches were also formed.
The first half was Lyon versus Bayern Munich and the second half was Leeds United versus Inter Milan.
In other words, Leeds United will face Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final. This was not good news, because Zhong Cheng clearly remembered that the Champions League champion in his previous life was Inter Milan.
Inter Milan in José Mourinho this season will really give you strength, now is the Serie A league and the Italian Cup are high-spirited, can be said to advance three lines, and Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng still remembered that this season, José Mourinho pretended to be in a new international era.
So it’s really a terrible thing to meet Inter at this time.
Compared to the other two teams, Inter Milan are indeed stronger.
However, Zhong Cheng also believed that the current world had changed greatly from the one he remembered. Inter Milan were very strong, but Leeds United were definitely not afraid of them. In this match, Leeds United were very confident.
After all, Leeds United’s goal this season is to retain the Champions League title, so they will not be timid against any opponent. Otherwise, how will they win the Champions League?
However, Zhong Cheng was also more cautious. After all, the international Milan team was very strong. Leeds United must be careful not to give Inter a chance to take advantage of the situation.
The Leeds United players also felt a little depressed when they saw this, but they still believed in Leeds United. As long as Zhong Cheng was around, Leeds United would definitely win.
Leeds United fans are very confident in Zhong Cheng.
Right at this moment, Zhong Cheng was very gratified. Because the Leeds United players are very serious, very positive, in training is showing a very good state. Zhong Cheng firmly believed that as long as this continued, there would be no big problem in finding a season for Leeds United’s treble.
Right now, Zhong Cheng is leading the Leeds United players in training. Soon, it will be the weekend of the league tournament.
Leeds United will be back at home to Sunderland this weekend.
To be honest, finding an opponent wasn’t very strong. They were currently ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the rankings, and could be considered the type of team that had no hope of relegating Worry-free Europe. Therefore, such a team is almost without desire, for Leeds United is relatively easy to deal with.
To be honest, when Zhong Cheng first accepted Leeds United, their competitor was Sunderland.
Back then, the two teams fought to the death in the Champions League. In order to fight for promotion spots and the Champions League title, both teams used their full strength to solve the problem.
In the end, Leeds United were the best and won the championship.
Of course, Sunderland also caused a lot of trouble for Leeds United, who almost lost their boat in the sewer.
Sunderland, who had fought Leeds United so hard in the past, are now far from Leeds United. Leeds United won the Premier League after levelling up that year, creating a miracle for England’s Kaiserslautern.
Sunderland were relegated, but none of them succeeded.
Later on, Sunderland became a real lift, upgrading and downgrading, and life was really terrible.
Unlike Leeds United, who won the Champions League year after year and even won the Champions League.
The status and treatment of these two teams could be said to be both heaven and earth. Back then, Sunderland would never have expected Leeds United to be their target in a few years.
Now, Leeds United were going to play Sunderland. Sunderland attached great importance to this game. They still wanted to compete with Leeds United. They wanted to win this game.
Of course, Zhong Cheng and Leeds United would not let them succeed.
Leeds United still need a lot of points. After all, they are still one head ahead of Chelsea. If they make a mistake, the Premier League title this season has little to do with them.
In this round of matches, Chelsea’s opponent was also not strong, it was Bolton.
Bolton have almost the same points as Sunderland, but Bolton are still a bit dangerous. However, as long as they don’t lose all the matches in the future, Bolton will not be relegated.
However, at this time, Bolton still have to be very cautious, they do not want to be demoted.
Hence, against Chelsea, Bolton would definitely have to fight to the death.
In this round, Leeds United knew that Chelsea’s chances of winning were very high, so he would not underestimate Sunderland. They would definitely go all out in this match.
Of course, Zhong Cheng had also saved his hand, and had arranged for a full-fledged substitute squad to play this match. Zhong Cheng believed that this would allow him to defeat his opponent.
However, after the start of the game, Leeds United still encountered some problems.
Sure enough, the Premier League has no weak side.
Sunderland created chaos in the penalty area in the nineteenth minute of the first half before the centre-back headed home from behind and surprisingly led Leeds United.
This surprised Zhong Cheng and excited the Chelsea people in front of the TV.
The Chelsea men naturally want Leeds United to lose this game from time to time so that they can dominate the Premier League.
The Leeds United players weren’t in a hurry. They were slowly attacking and besieging the defending Sunderland team. Leeds United created a lot of chances in the first half but failed to break Sunderland’s goal.
But Leeds United scored in the sixth minute of the second half.
The goal was scored by Gareth Bale, who was in excellent form recently. Gareth Bale shot directly from the front of the restricted area, sending the football into Sunderland’s goal and equalizing the score.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Leeds United kicked out a corner kick and the football flew towards the back point. Compani jumped high to head the goal, 2-1.
Leeds United were ahead of the game.
The Chelsea man was speechless when he saw this. Sunderland were really too weak.
Fortunately, Leeds United did not score again after scoring the goal. Leeds United wanted to score more goals and score more goals, but Sunderland defended well, Leeds United were unlucky, and Leeds United didn’t score in the end.
Leeds United reversed Sunderland 2-1 and won the game.
Seeing this result, Zhong Cheng shook his head. This match ended like this. Looks like Chelsea are going to open the gap again. After all, Bolton’s strength is not strong, so it’s easy for Chelsea to defeat them in a big score.
Zhong Cheng sat in his house and watched the game, because the next day Leeds United had a holiday.
Zhong Cheng watched the match on TV. To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng originally thought that Chelsea would win by a large margin. However, what Zhong Cheng did not expect was that there might be pressure to relegate. The Bolton team had shrunk considerably in this match and was extremely tenacious.
In the first half of the game, Chelsea shot 13 kicks and failed to break through Bolton’s goal.
Zhong Cheng was also shocked by Bolton’s defense.
The second half was almost the same as the first half. Chelsea attacked frantically and surrounded Bolton’s goal, but Bolton’s defense was really too strong. Zhong Cheng was speechless. Was Bolton’s defense that powerful?
If Bolton had used such a defensive technique before, what would their results have been like?
However, there was also a time to reveal his formidable defense. In the second half of the game, Bolton’s players had a lot of physical problems. Chelsea’s attack was becoming more and more threatening. In Zhong Cheng’s opinion, Bolton’s team still couldn’t defend it.
Sure enough, in the 41st minute of the second half, Chelsea’s Didier Drogba crossed from Malouda, who was on the side of the middle of the restricted area. He jumped high and a European lion shook its head, smashing the football into Bolton’s goal.
Chelsea relied on Didier Drogba to find a goal and beat Bolton 1-0.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng exhaled slightly. The Bolton team had done them a great favor. The two teams are one goal away from each other in this round, so there is still a gap of one goal between the two teams and Leeds United are one goal behind Chelsea.
Therefore, Leeds United were not pushed apart. Zhong Cheng finally felt relieved.
However, after watching this match, Zhong Cheng felt a lot of pressure. Chelsea are tough to deal with, and Leeds United will have a lot of difficulties in the upcoming league.
However, Zhong Cheng himself was very confident. He insists the Premier League title this season belongs to Leeds United.
Of course, in the current situation, Leeds United could not have any pine creek.
After the next day off, Zhong Cheng became even more strict with the Leeds United players. Zhong was hoping that the Leeds United players would work hard for another month because there was only one month left of the season. Fortunately, Leeds United had a bright future this month.
Zhong Cheng kept feeding chicken soup to the Leeds United players, hoping that the Leeds United players would go all out.
