April 9, 2006, London, England, sunny!

Today, there is still a red sun hanging in the sky of London. However, the weather today was not bad. It was not as hot as yesterday, nor was there any muddy mist. The air was filled with a fresh smell.

Yes, there was a heavy rain in London last night.

Lightning flashed and thunder rang out, as if someone was undergoing a tribulation in London!

It rained heavily, like the gods were celebrating the Waterspray Festival. Basins of water kept pouring down, washing away the dirty air of the city.

Such bad weather made the night show in London lose a lot of business yesterday. People stayed at home and did not want to go out. Yesterday, Londoners stayed at home for almost a day.

It was too hot during the day, and lightning and thunder increased the rain at night!

No wonder it was so hot in the daytime yesterday. It turned out to be for the rain at night!

However, after yesterday’s heavy rain, the weather today was very good. Countless people walked out of the room to feel the rare good weather and good air.

Today is also a very good day for football!

It was already dusk, the sun had already set, the air was blowing a breeze, it was really refreshing!

The Stamford Bridge Stadium is now occupied by a sea of blue-robed Chelsea fans, who are waving their flag and singing Chelsea’s team song excitedly, warming up for tonight’s game!

The arena was already packed with people, and it was very impressive. The competition was about to start soon.

This match attracted a lot of attention. Countless media reporters came to the scene. This match was the Battle of King’s Hill in England, and it was also the decisive battle for the championship next year. Many people even called this match the “final battle”!

Media reporters from all over the world rushed here, as if this was not an ordinary Premier League match, but a World Cup final!

These media reporters couldn’t wait to see the start of this match. They also wanted to know who the winner of this match would be.

There were naturally a lot of Leeds United fans present today. They were wearing the team’s white shirts and were waiting for the start of the game. There were a lot of people in this group, occupying the spectator stands on the side, and many of them had appeared in the plaza outside the stadium.

Security personnel and the police in London attach great importance to it, and they have also transferred a lot of security personnel from the field to provide security protection.

The match between Leeds United and Chelsea was very popular and there must be no more problems, otherwise their English football would be laughed to death.

The atmosphere was already very lively, but the players from both sides were in the dressing room listening to the final arrangements of the head coach!

–Division Line–

Jose Mourinho stands at the front of Chelsea’s dressing room.

Mourinho was wearing a slightly trench coat today and looked cool like a Terminator.

Mourinho was very stylish and his gaze was fixed on the board.

There were several names written on his tactical board, many lines drawn and some notes written. Obviously, Mourinho’s explanation had already begun for some time.

Mourinho said: “Still, the Leeds United tactics are the same as ours, both defensively counterattacking. Their counterattacking is often through long diagonal passes from the backcourt looking for two winged Clippers, unlike us who use quick passes and tears after steals to counterattack!”

The Chelsea players all nodded in understanding.

They had fought against Leeds United before, and they had watched many Leeds United videos. Almost all of their counterattacks were like this, using the personal abilities of the players on both sides, especially Ribery, to counterattack.

Mourinho said: “So Ribery is the key. As long as we keep an eye on Ribery, Leeds United’s counter-attack threat will be reduced by at least half, understand?”

The Chelsea players nodded in understanding.

Mourinho also said: “Also, Leeds United’s front waist must also pay attention, whether it is Modric or Gourcuff, these two people are Leeds United counterattack a starting point, they can break through, but also can pass a very good ball, if strangled them, Leeds United is still very dangerous!”

The Chelsea players nodded again. The head coach was right!

Chelsea know that Ribery is the most threatening side of the Leeds United squad, with Modric or Gourcuff in their head and Huntelaar as their terminator.

Leeds United’s tactics seemed to have formed a system, and each of them would be able to perform their duties well.

Moreover, Leeds United’s defense has now improved by a whole new level. Zhong Cheng had also upgraded their defensive tactics.

It was clear that Leeds United’s overall shaping was very complete and rigorous when defending, and the gap between them was very small. When defending together, almost all of the defenders and midfielders were pushed to the 30m area of their defensive area.

There were even times when even two wings could be given up, even if they were to hide in a restricted area. Such a dense defense could be said to be a devil for any team.

Moreover, the Leeds players were very good at defending, both in terms of overall defence and individual defence. Against such a team, it is difficult to score goals.

However, Mourinho has a solution because he has a destructive center like Didier Drogba in his formation. Didier Drogba could become a shit-stirrer in Leeds United’s defensive line, disrupting Leeds United’s defensive line and creating opportunities for the rest of his teammates behind him.

Mourinho said: “We have to make some changes in this game. We will lead the offense and let Didier break through to Leeds United’s defensive line, and then the others will roam around Didier in search of a second point and a second chance to attack, you know?”

Although this tactic was simple, it should be very effective.

Breaking through the dense defense, a center like Didier Drogba is very important, his attack is too strong, ordinary centre-backs really can not withstand his attack.

Didn’t Didier Drogba directly massacre talented rookie centre-back Senderos in his later life?

The Chelsea players nodded and said, “Got it, boss!”

Mourinho added: “When attacking, the players on the defensive line have to keep an eye on the players and kill them in the bud. Do you understand?”

The Chelsea players immediately shouted, “Got it!”

Change, Jos é Mourinho is taking the initiative to change!

Mourinho’s eyes lit up as he thought, “Madman Loria, you didn’t expect that, did you?”

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng sat in front of the tactical board in the guest team’s Leeds United dressing room.

On the tactical board behind Zhong Cheng was the name of today’s Leeds United starter, arranged according to the formation. However, if you look closely, you will find that this is not just the name of the starting list, there are even special positions.

Yes, these people shrank a little, looking like a board, crossing in front of Leeds United’s goal, in the restricted area.

The formation looked like 4-4-2, with the midfield and defensive line standing parallel, looking like a complete rectangle from the sky, covering the entire restricted area.

This was Zhong Cheng’s request today!

Zhong Cheng said, “When defending, I need you to do this. Keep the two lines relatively intact, keep a good distance from your teammates. When defending, you need to maintain linkage and ensure the integrity of the formation at all times. Do you understand?”

This kind of requirement was relatively high, requiring every player to concentrate and have good physical fitness!

More importantly, Zhong Cheng also asked the Leeds United players to maintain a high level of oppression and ferocity, so as to make their defenses even tougher.

The Leeds United players all nodded.

They had already used this tactic a few times before, and all of them had performed quite well. This could be considered an upgraded version of the tactic from before. However, they weren’t doing it perfectly right now.

Therefore, the Leeds United players were still very serious.

Zhong Cheng said: “In this match, our defense will definitely suffer a very big impact. Perhaps from the beginning of the match, Chelsea’s center Drogba will frantically attack our direction. He is a very destructive center. You must withstand the defensive line, and you must not know about it randomly, right?”

The Leeds United defenders nodded in agreement.

Zhong Cheng added, “Pay attention to the surroundings around Drogba at all times, because Drogba is obviously just a bolt-on weapon. The real killing move must be ambushed by him!”

Zhong Cheng has recently done a lot of research on the Chelsea team. That’s what Chelsea do on many occasions, using Drogba to charge forward.

The Premier League teams are not stupid. They all know that Chelsea have a strong defensive counter-attack, so they naturally won’t rashly attack. Furthermore, Chelsea are in such good form that it is very, very good for them to get a point from Chelsea.

So why did they attack Chelsea?

Therefore, many people, Chelsea also need to attack, Zhong Cheng just happened to see the Chelsea people attack the means.

After Zhong Cheng’s reminder, the Leeds United players nodded in agreement.

Zhong Cheng also said: “Mourinho is a very cunning guy, it is clear that he will study our tactics and play.” Therefore, Frank and James will definitely be closely watched this match, even Luca will be closely watched, so we should be bold when counterattacking, we can find Hernan directly at the front!

Yes, Zhong Cheng wanted the counterattack to be more straightforward and simple.

It was Bigfoot looking for Crespo at the front and letting him control the first point. If there was a chance, he would attack the Chelsea fans directly. If there is no chance, just wait for Ribery and the others to insert themselves, so that they can form a combined fist and create some invisible trouble for the Chelsea defenders.

The Leeds United backcourt players, Crespo and the others nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zhong Cheng looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost time, he immediately stood up and said to the Leeds United players, “This match is very important to us. We can only win, not lose.” I won’t say anything to boost morale. “That ‘s the same thing. After our leeds united win this season, I’ ll give you 8 million pounds as a reward. I hope you work hard!”
