Leeds United face Ipswich at home in the fifth round of the 2006-2007 FA Cup. This was another clash between the two teams, and Leeds United had won several previous matches. Moreover, this Ipswich team is no longer the Ipswich team from back then.

In this match, Zhong Cheng sent out all the substitutes and some young players to start.

The young Azar also appeared in the starting line-up, which was beyond many people’s expectations. Many media reporters claimed that Zhong Cheng was crazy, super crazy.

Of course, many people think that Zhong Cheng is giving up this season’s FA Cup.

However, in this round of matches, Leeds United defeated their opponent Ipswich 1-0. The goal was scored by their substitute striker Nicklas Bendtner, and it was the young Azar who assisted him.

Azar played for 60 minutes in this match, and his performance was very good, making people’s eyes shine. This has attracted the attention of many other rich clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who have offered an olive branch to Azar in the hope of bringing in the 16-year-old.

Chelsea are the newest of them all and want to bring in Azar.

Zhong Cheng wasn’t worried about this, because he believed that Azar was a smart player. To go to these rich clubs, Azar would have to wait at least three to four years before he could play. At Leeds United, Azar won’t have many chances to play right now, but there will always be chances to play for the first team.

Moreover, Azar was brought here from Belgium by Zhong Cheng. Furthermore, Zhong Cheng’s ability to discover and nurture young players was very impressive. Azar would not leave Leeds United.

Azar rejected these teams and stayed at Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng did not care about this. He was very confident in Azar.

Right now, Zhong Cheng was concerned about Gourcuff. After stopping for so long, Gourcuff was finally about to recover.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng called Gurkuf to his office. Looking at Gurkuf, who was a little old, Zhong Cheng’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Gourcuff, now only 20, has grown a beard and doesn’t look like a 20-year-old at all. He looks more like a 25-year-old or even older middle-aged man. It could be seen that the injury had dealt a heavy blow to Gourcuff.

Zhong Cheng felt somewhat distressed when he saw this. He asked, “Yao An, how is the situation now?”

“Boss, don’t worry. I’m in a very good condition. Although I’m not at my peak last year, I’m at 80%,” Gourcuff said straightforwardly.

Hearing Gourcuff’s words, Zhong Cheng felt much more relieved.

Gourcuff wasn’t the kind of person to talk big. He said that, and that was the general truth. His words were never exaggerated or false.

Zhong Cheng nodded his head and said, “You’ve recovered quite well. This way, you can train with the team first and we’ll see your level. Then we’ll give you a chance to play as soon as possible and let you find the feeling of playing. We’ve really had a lot of games this season. Don’t worry about coming out, you know?”

Gourcuff could see the concern in Zhong Cheng’s heart. He nodded and said, “I understand, boss. I obey the team’s arrangements!”

Zhong Chengshi patted Gourcuff on the shoulder and said, “Alright, then you can go out to train first and be ready to play at any time!”

Gourcuff nodded firmly and walked out of the office.

Seeing Gourcuff walk out of the office, Zhong Cheng nodded. The Leeds United team was getting better and better. The injured players were gradually returning. Right now, they were just short of Ribery. After Ribery returns, Leeds United will not be afraid of any matches.

Of course, Zhong Cheng was still a little worried about Gourcuff and Ribery’s condition. If these two returned, they wouldn’t be able to do so.

However, Zhong Cheng believed in Gourcuff and Ribery.

However, Zhong Cheng discovered that Gourcuff’s condition was not bad during the training. As Gourcuff had said, it had recovered to about eighty percent. However, the feeling of his match was still a bit lacking. It was obvious that he hadn’t touched the ball for more than half a year, so it still had some impact on him.

Zhong Cheng tried to persuade Gourcuff not to be anxious. He slowly found a feeling that Gourcuff would definitely play.

Zhong Cheng then led the Leeds United players to Holland for the first leg of the Champions League knockout half. Arsenal play Holland’s PSV Eindhoven away, with Arsenal being the first to visit and then the host.

This time, Zhong Cheng did not lead Gourcuff away. Gourcuff stayed at Leeds and continued to adjust.

This match was still very crucial for Leeds United, so Zhong Cheng naturally hoped that the team would win this match. Eindhoven’s strength was not particularly strong, and they had fought before. Leeds United had won.

Zhong Cheng had great confidence in this match.

However, after the start of the game, Leeds United did not control the situation and the players were not in good condition. It was clear that continuous battles and multi-faceted battles had affected the health of the Leeds United players.

The Leeds United players didn’t feel good about this game.

Zhong Cheng shook his head repeatedly when he saw this. This match was very difficult.

Zhong Cheng changed the disadvantage on the court by changing people and gradually controlled the situation. But the counterattack was still a bit lacking, not enough to threaten Eindhoven.

Finally, in the 82nd minute of the game, Leeds United’s goal was broken by the Eindhoven. It was also with this goal that Eindhoven defeated Leeds United at home, winning the first leg of the Champions League knockout round of the season.

To be honest, this game was not a success for Leeds United!

Zhong Cheng’s pre-game goal was to win, and even if he didn’t win, he would still have to score a goal away from home. Evidently, neither of these tasks had been completed.

After this match, the English media naturally played down Leeds United, claiming that their Champions League tour this season had ended.

Of course, at this time, Zhong Cheng was badly criticized.

English media reporters have claimed that Zhong Cheng overestimated himself and was too ambitious. Even though Leeds United’s bench wasn’t deep enough, this fellow still wanted every line to move at a high speed. He simply didn’t know himself. He was just a piece of trash that was greedy to the point of death.

Media reporters have claimed that Leeds United in this situation is due to Zhong Cheng’s greed and lack of self-knowledge. What’s more important? It was because of Zhong Cheng’s recklessness that Leeds United were on the verge of collapse this season. At that time, the entire team would collapse.

Yes, at this time, countless media outlets were singing about Lizzie United, and they had even reached the point of alarmist talk. It was as if Leeds United had lost the entire world just by losing one game.

Zhong Cheng ignored these damned media reporters. He only recorded the names of these media reporters in his notebook and waited for the right time to deliver a fatal blow to these fellows.

Zhong Cheng was indeed a narrow-minded and vengeful fellow.

At this time, everyone thought of Leeds United’s former goalkeeper ShaunAllaway, the goalkeeper who had been thoroughly beaten into the cold by Zhong Cheng. Now, this fellow had already retreated for a long time, and many media did not know where this fellow had gone now.

Zhong Cheng is really ruthless!

Zhong Cheng led the team back to Leeds, ignoring these damned media reporters. Zhong Cheng is preparing for the weekend’s Premier League, the 28th round of the Premier League this season. Leeds United will play Charlton away.

Yes, the team that Zheng Zhi joined on loan this winter.

This match was another Chinese derby. There were really too many Chinese derbies in the Premier League. Many people were confused. Could it be that Chinese players were so popular in the Premier League?

Anyway, at this time, countless media were covering this match, covering this time’s Chinese derby. Zheng Zhi has performed very well since joining Charlton. He wore the team’s No. 5 shirt, but he has become the core of the team’s midfield. His performance is very eye-catching.

Now Charlton fans like Zheng Zhi very much. Zheng Zhi has succeeded in Charlton. In this match, Zheng Zhi will definitely be Charlton’s starting player. Right now, the media reporters were all speculating whether Shao Jiayi would appear in this match.

Of course, these media reporters naturally did not expect Shao Jiayi to start because Shao Jiayi was a substitute for Leeds United. They wanted to see if Shao Jiayi could be a substitute for the Chinese derby!

Before the game, there was a lot of publicity for the game. Many people were watching the game. Especially the Chinese fans. They can’t wait to watch this match. They are all waiting.

Of course, they also thought that Shao Jiayi was very difficult to get a chance to play, and Shao Jiayi was a substitute.

However, at the time of the match, Zhong Cheng did give the fans a big surprise. Zhong Cheng actually put Shao Jiayi on the starting line. Hua Jin is taking turns to rest today. On the other side, Zheng Zhi really made his debut. This was a real Chinese derby.

In this match, the two Chinese players performed very well, making the eyes of the English fans shine brightly.

In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Shao Jiayi crossed from the side and assisted Luca Tony in heading the goal. In the second half of the match, Zheng Zhi had a good chance at the front of the forbidden area, shooting straight into a dead end. Both of them had a very stunning match, which could be said to be a very wonderful Chinese derby.

In this game, Leeds United defeated Charlton 4-2 away, Carlos Tevez scored twice and Pique scored a goal. Gourcuff was also a substitute and was warmly welcomed by Leeds United fans.

However, after Gourcuff came on as a substitute in this match, his performance was still somewhat lacking. However, he had just recovered from his injuries, so he should be given more time. Leeds United fans also shouted Gourcuff’s name to encourage him.
