574 A Run of Victories Over the Christmas Season
At the end of the 18th Premier League match, Manchester United still topped the Premier League. Although they lost to Leeds United, they still had 44 points and topped the league.
The second place was not won by Leeds United, but by Chelsea. Chelsea narrowly defeated Everton 3-2 on penalties this round. They managed to keep their second place in the Premier League with 40 points, four points behind Manchester United.
Leeds United, who beat Manchester United, are now ranked third in the league, with 39 points behind Chelsea and five behind Manchester United.
Leeds United have done well and this victory has given them hope of catching up with Manchester United.
Arsenal are now fourth in the Premier League, with 30 points behind the top three. Therefore, they are still quite far away from winning the Premier League this season. For Arsenal, their primary goal now is to secure fourth place and secure a place in the Champions League next season.
This season, they did not qualify for the Champions League, which made them very unhappy. They have to win next year’s Champions League, they have to!
Following behind them was Bolton, who also scored 30 points. Next up were Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth, who both had 29 points, followed by Tottenham Hotspur, who had 28 points.
These teams are all very close to Arsenal and there is a high chance that they will be pushed out of fourth place in a single game.
Leeds United are not in the mood to care about what happens next. They are all looking ahead and now they are thinking about how to catch up with Manchester United.
After beating Manchester United, Zhong Cheng led the team back to Leeds United.
After returning to Leeds United, Zhong Cheng set off again, leading the team directly to London, where they were challenging Tottenham Hotspur. This game was not a Premier League game, but an English Carling Cup match.
One of the last eight matches of the English league, two Carling Cup matches had already been played the day before.
Charlton actually lost 1-0 to Wycombe. Wycombe was an English Serie B team, and Charlton lost to them. It really was a big surprise.
Looks like the Carling Cup is really a hot bed!
In another game, Newcastle United lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea. In other words, Wycombe and Chelsea are already in the last four of the Carling Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur play Leeds United and Liverpool against Arsenal in the last two matches on the same day.
Now Zhong Cheng is leading Leeds United to London to face Tottenham Hotspur away.
In this match, Zhong Cheng did not send out all of his main forces to fight, but instead sent out some substitutes. It wasn’t that Zhong Cheng didn’t pay much attention to this game, but that Leeds United had too many games this season, and some of the players in the formation who were rotating between the main team and the substitutes also needed to have a chance to play.
Tottenham Hotspur paid great attention to this game, and all of their main players went out to play.
Tottenham Hotspur were very keen on the Carling Cup, but Leeds United gave them a head-on blow at the start of the game.
In the ninth minute of the first half, Leeds United’s substitute striker Nicklas Bendtner received a cross from winger Gareth Bale, heading straight towards Tottenham Hotspur’s centre-back. Leeds United are ahead 1-0.
The goal was beyond the expectations of all Tottenham Hotspur fans, and Tottenham Hotspur’s entire team was stunned.
After conceding the ball, Tottenham Hotspur attacked crazily and rushed towards Leeds United’s goal.
However, before the end of the first half, Yaya Touré received a backward triangular pass from the side at the front of the restricted area. Then, he directly swung his leg at the front of the restricted area and bombarded the goal, causing the football to enter the net.
There was nothing he could do. Tottenham Hotspur didn’t have much confidence in themselves.
At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur quickly scored a goal. Seeing the hope, they immediately attacked crazily and surrounded Leeds United.
Tottenham Hotspur were eager to score, attacking a bit fiercely, and were caught off guard by Leeds United when substitute Edinson Cavani scored 3-1.
Leeds United also beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 to reach the Carling Cup quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, in another game, Arsenal beat Liverpool 6-3 on the road to reach the last four of this season’s Carling Cup.
The last four of the Carling Cup are Wycombe, Chelsea, Leeds United and Arsenal. The Carling Cup semifinals are now out, with Wycombe against Chelsea and Leeds United against Arsenal.
The Carling Cup is a home-away two-legged game and it is the only home-away two-legged game in the Carling Cup. The competition is due to start in mid-January next year, and there are still about 20 days left.
It’s getting closer and closer to Christmas, and many players are thinking about it.
The sadness of the Premier League players is reflected in the fact that there is no winter break in the Premier League. The other Premier League players are on vacation, and the Premier League players have games to play. And this game is more than usual, more tired, this is the Premier League players sad place.
The team will play for one or two days at Christmas if there is no mission. But there are some teams that have game assignments during Christmas to celebrate Christmas for the fans, what kind of Christmas battles do they have?
This week, Leeds United’s game was really full, three games a week, an average of one game every two days. Two days later, Leeds United ushered in their nineteenth Premier League game of the season when they played Fulham away.
Fulham are doing well, in the middle of the league, 13th.
For such an opponent, Zhong Cheng only had one goal, and that was to defeat Fulham and get three points. Because Leeds United are ambitious, they want three points.
Because Zhong Cheng knew that Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team would not stop and wait for them. He had to ensure that he could win every match, keep up with Manchester United’s pace and even surpass Manchester United.
In this match, Zhong Cheng did some rotation, because after three too difficult days, that is, on December 26, Leeds United still had another match, which was also the league tournament.
That’s why Leeds United have been so busy lately. Almost all of the Premier League teams will play on December 26 for the sake of Christmas.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng stayed in the competition. And after this round, Leeds United will have a short holiday to give the players back to spend Christmas with their families. Although this would distract the players and make them unable to recover their thoughts after returning to the field, Zhong Cheng still had to do so.
Often at this time of Christmas, there would be a lot of surprises, and that was also the reason.
In this match against Fulham, Zhong Cheng had Luca Tony, Joaquin and the others take turns to rest.
Leeds United did not perform well in this game after many of their regular breaks. The game was pulled away by Fulham’s rhythm. Looks like the minds of the Leeds United players have already flown to Christmas.
In this match, Zhong Cheng had been standing on the sidelines, furrowing his brows. This match looked very suspensive.
Was Zhong Cheng directing from the sidelines, signaling for the Leeds United players to be more serious and to defend more tightly? He definitely couldn’t give Fulham a chance.
If it weren’t for Zhong Zheng’s good performance, Leeds United would have fallen behind 2-0 in the first half of the game.
Fulham saw a chance of winning, attacking heavily in the second half, besieging Leeds United, who defended the counter-attack.
Leeds United were in a really bad shape today and couldn’t even fight back.
However, Leeds United’s luck was pretty good. At the end of the game, Shao Jiayi’s inadvertent pass was scored by the Fulham centre-back. With this lucky goal, Leeds United defeated Fulham 1-0 and scored three points.
After the game, Leeds United took a day off and the Leeds players went back for Christmas.
Zhong Cheng and Zhong Zheng naturally went home for Christmas.
After returning home, Old Hour still did not give Zhong Cheng a good look, but Amelia George treated Zhong Cheng well. This Christmas was not bad, but with two little devils by his side, Zhong Cheng was badly beaten by the Gu.
After a decent Christmas, Zhong Cheng returned to the team.
After the players came back, Zhong Cheng could clearly feel that this group of brats hadn’t retracted their thoughts. Looks like they’re still silent in the Christmas atmosphere.
Zhong Cheng was very confident in his training. He hoped that the players of Leeds United would take back their thoughts, because the next match was also very important. Leeds United play Portsmouth at home, and Portsmouth are strong.
Portsmouth are now in the top six of the Premier League and are very strong.
At this moment, the Leeds United fans were very excited.
This was a Christmas match at their home, and Leeds United fans naturally hoped that the team would win and have a very happy holiday.
In this match, Zhong Cheng had made a partial rotation. Some of the players were not in their best condition. In order to win, Zhong Cheng naturally had to let the players who were in better condition go on stage.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United showed a very strong momentum, attacking from the start.
However, in the 15th minute of the first half, Portsmouth’s attack had already broken through Leeds United’s goal, which shocked the Leeds United. No one expected this kind of remembrance, and Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned.
Portsmouth were lucky to have scored twice before crossing Zhong Zheng’s ten-finger mark and turning into a goal.
After conceding the ball, the Leeds United players continued to attack, attacking crazily.
Leeds United used all of their strength to attack crazily. Towards the end of the first half, Watkin crossed from the side and Luca Tony jumped high in the middle, heading the ball into Portsmouth’s goal.
Leeds United equalised and, at the start of the second half, took advantage of a quick surprise attack to take a 2-1 lead over Portsmouth with a goal from Darren Bent.
Leeds United finally got the lead and overtook the score.
After that, Portsmouth wanted to counterattack, but failed to break through Leeds United’s goal. Zhong Zheng kept it very well.
Leeds United beat Portsmouth 2-1 in their home game and scored three points.
