In the locker room of the visiting Middlesbrough team at the Ellen Road Stadium.

McClaren stood there, staring fixedly at the Middlesbrough players in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.

The Middlesbrough players stared at McClaren and listened.

“You know, I’m leaving Middlesbrough at the end of the season, and I’m going to end my Middlesbrough career,” McClaren said.

Middlesbrough players are a little sad, McClaren is a good coach, they are reluctant to let McClaren leave!

McClellan said, “We’ve worked together for five years. I think everyone should be very happy during this period. We’ve had low ebbs and high peaks. We’ve created the history of the club and won the first championship trophy in history. We’ve shared glory and experienced low ebbs together. We’re brothers who fought in the same trench!”

The Middlesbrough players’ eyes were a little blurry, as if they were recalling the past.

McClaren said: “I think you already know what my goal this season is.” I just want to leave a championship trophy for Middlesbrough when I leave, a more important trophy, to create another miracle in Middlesbrough’s club history and to bring my Middlesbrough career to a successful conclusion. Are you willing to help me fulfill this wish? ”

Middlesbrough players immediately shouted: “Yes, we are willing! Boss, don’t worry, we will definitely win the UEFA Cup back to Riverside Stadium!”

McClaren is pleased with the reaction of his players.

McClaren nodded slightly, tears faintly appearing in his eyes. Although he had known that he would leave soon, the closer the time was, the more reluctant he was to part with it. In his opinion, this is a very, very good team, if possible, he hopes to be able to lead this team forever.

Unfortunately, he, McClaren, had a higher goal!

McClaren stared at the Middlesbrough players seriously and said: ‘I want to remind you that although everyone is optimistic about us now and we have a very big advantage. “However, you must not be arrogant and be careless. Leeds United’s ability to reach the scene is definitely not due to luck alone. They are very strong.”

Yes, McClaren didn’t dare to underestimate Leeds United at all!

Was it really just luck that allowed Leeds United to get to the scene, as the media reporters had said? Evidently not. Zhong Cheng is a very powerful fellow, and he has a lot of ideas. His tactics can be said to be unique in the Premier League, even in the current stage of the world football world.

In this world, there were many different tactics for defending and counterattacking. However, it was really easy for someone like Leeds United to appear. Leeds United made their defense very stable, and their counterattacking was also very sharp. It was simply a combination of spears and shields.

Such a team is difficult to deal with, don’t you see that there are a lot of strong teams who have fallen at the feet of Leeds United this season?

McClaren attaches great importance to Leeds United.

The Middlesbrough players all nodded their heads. They had fought against Leeds United before, so they knew better than the media reporters and fans who were watching from the side how powerful Leeds United were.

McClaren said: “We already have two goals in hand in this game, so we don’t have to be anxious at first. The one anxious now is Leeds United. We’ll give them a fatal blow when we draw them out!”

The Middlesbrough players nodded in agreement.

McClaren did not highlight too many tactical issues because he had said it seven or eight hundred times before the game. What he needed to do now was to investigate some of the things he should pay attention to and inspire the morale of the Middlesbrough players.

McClaren said: “The only thing to watch out for in this game is the Leeds United striker, Huntelaar! He’s an incredibly strong guy. Stop him and we’ll win this game!”

Middlesbrough players nodded their heads. Huntelaar was amazing this season.

–Division Line–

In Leeds United’s dressing room.

Zhong Cheng stood in front of the tactical board. As usual, the tactical board was filled with names and lines. It was obvious that Zhong Cheng had ruthlessly destroyed the tactical board just now, turning his white and clean face into a big one.

The Leeds United players were all very attentive and fascinated.

Zhong Cheng twisted the signature pen in his hand and looked up at the Leeds United players. He had a lot to say in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to say!

The Leeds United players looked up at Zhong Cheng and waited for him to speak. However, Zhong Cheng was actually silent, and this silence lasted for five to six minutes.

The Leeds United players were filled with surprise!

Rogers, DiMatteo, and the others were also filled with shock. This was unlike Zhong Cheng they knew. Could it be that Zhong Cheng was someone else wearing human skin today?

Zhong Cheng was silent for a while before he said, “Originally, I wanted to talk to you for a long time to stimulate your fighting spirit and provoke your desire to win. However, at this moment, I suddenly didn’t want to say anything!”

The Leeds United players were puzzled. Why? Why was this?

Rogers and DiMatteo also looked at each other!

Zhong Cheng said, “You know our team’s current situation, and you know what to do in your heart. To tell you the truth, I don’t think I need to remind you anymore!”

The Leeds United players were shocked and stared at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng said: “You are the players that I have chosen. I am very relieved of you and understand you very well. I know that you are unwilling to lose this match, I know. You want to reach the final of the UEFA Cup!”

The Leeds United players nodded their heads. This was what they were thinking.

Zhong Cheng said, “Since you all know, why should I say so much? I firmly believe that you have already stimulated your fighting spirit in your hearts. There is no need for me to say anything else. Because your autonomy exceeds many, many people. You are a group of warriors with boundless fighting spirit!”

Although Zhong Cheng did not say anything very flaming, the Leeds United players could feel their entire bodies burning.

Zhong Cheng said, “Right now, there is only one path ahead of us, Leeds United. You all should know what this path is. Whether you want to be eliminated immediately or advance to the finals is up to you!”

The Leeds United players nodded firmly.

Zhong Cheng said: “I have already made it clear about the tactics of this match and what you should pay attention to. Now I need to capture what I am emphasizing. Finally, I will only say one thing. If we win the UEFA Cup this season, we will receive an additional £ 4 million in bonuses!”

The eyes of the Leeds United players lit up.

Zhong Cheng said, “Alright, that’s all I have to say today. After coming out, you guys should know what to do.”

After saying that, Zhong Cheng waved his hand and let his players out. The Leeds United players filed out and rushed into the players’ passageway.

–Division Line–

“Hello, fans and spectators! This is the BBC, I am the commentator you are familiar with, Mark Lawrenson. Today we are bringing you a civil war in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup this season. This is the second leg of the semi-final. After this match, teams will be born to advance to the final!” Mark Lawrenson began his introductory remarks.

“Hello, I am Eddie Gray, who you are familiar with. The game we are bringing today is Leeds United’s home game against Middlesbrough. After this game, the UEFA Cup final this season will come out.” Eddie Gray said.

“Middlesbrough beat Leeds United 2-0 at home in the first leg, and now they have an absolute advantage. They have already reached the UEFA Cup final this season with one foot. Today, whether they can reach the final or not will be in this match!” Said Mark Lawrenson.

“Yes, the situation is very bad for Leeds United, and they have a lot of problems in the team, the team’s main players are injured, which has a great impact on them. Leeds United’s side will definitely lose a lot of strength. I wonder how they are doing in this match? Eddie Gray was filled with worry!

At this time, the players from both sides had already followed the referee team into the stadium.

The fans on both sides immediately screamed excitedly, shouting the names of the players of the two teams to cheer for their players.

Zhong Cheng was wearing a white suit and quietly sat on the coach’s bench. He stared at the field and told the truth. At this moment, he was still a little nervous.

In today’s game, Leeds United were not the strongest lineup of the Leeds United team!

“Alright, the players from both sides have already played. Now let’s introduce the starting lineup for both sides!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.

The starting lineup for today is as follows:

Visiting team: Middlesbrough, head coach: McClaren, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Schwarzer

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Kodru, Southgate, Rigoth, Panaby

Four midfielders “from left to right”: Tangning, Boateng, Rosenbach and MacCarone

Twin strikers: Hassel Baink and Viduka

Today, this lineup could be considered the absolute main lineup of Middlesbrough. The previously suspended Southgate was released today and appeared in the starting lineup. He was a core player in the Middlesbrough defence. Seeing him, the Leeds United fans’ eyes became filled with sadness. How could this fellow be able to make a comeback?

Everything else was normal, but Macarone was slightly surprised that he had replaced James Morrison in the starting lineup.

Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Evra, Vermaelen, Gary Cahill and Sagna

Single waist: Nigel Dejon

Three avant-garde “from left to right”: Gourcuff, Modric and Lennon

Twin strikers: Huntelaar and Darren Bent

It was clear that Zhong Cheng’s intention today was still to attack. Otherwise, he would not have sent out five players in the offensive combination. Moreover, Gourcuff and Modric had both started at the same time today. It was clear that Zhong Cheng wanted to do something in the offensive.

However, compared to the offense, Leeds United’s defense today is very worrying. First of all, Nigel Dejon was behind them at the waist. Although this fellow’s strength was not bad, he was still too young. Could he stand on his own side?

There was also a young Gary Cahill on the defensive line today. It was clear that he would be a target for Hassel Baink and Viduka. Could he defend against them? Very hanging.

Hence, after seeing this lineup, many people believed that Leeds United had no chance!
