The starting lineup for Leeds United today is 4-2-3-1, as follows:

Double waist: Alexander Song and Albertini
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Franck Ribery, Luka Modric and Watkin
Single forward: Luca Tony
The first team to kick off was Leeds United. They did not take any defensive counterattacks against teams from the Ligue 3 League. They attacked from the start and surrounded Leiden East.
Zhong Cheng vented his displeasure in this match and wanted to teach Leiden Dongfang a lesson.
At the beginning of the match, the rhythm of the match was in the hands of Leeds United. Leiden East only had the ability to defend. Even when they were defending, they were a little panicked, giving Leeds United a lot of chances.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Leeds United were threatening to attack.
Luka Modric, who was in the middle of the line, shouted and passed the ball along with Franck Ribery. Suddenly, a diagonal kick reverberated and passed the ball to Joaquin, who easily unloaded the ball. Then, he arced the ball into the restricted area east of Leiden.
In the penalty area, Luca Tony, the tall centre-back who was pushing east of Leiden, shook his head and shot straight into the upper corner of the goal.
Unfortunately, Luca Tony was not able to catch the ball due to the interference of the opponent’s tall centre-back. The football was not strong enough and its speed was too slow. The goalkeeper from Leiden Orient directly knocked the ball out of the bottom line.
This time, Leeds United’s attack was so ferocious that they almost scored.
The Leeds United team was indeed strong enough. Leiden Oriental truly did not have any strength to resist.
Corner kick, Leeds United get a chance to get a corner kick!
Luka Modric curled the ball into the area east of Leiden, where the goalkeeper leapt out and punched Luca Tony out of the area with a single fist on his head.
However, the football landed at Albertini’s feet outside the restricted area.
Albertini was impolite and didn’t stop the ball. He directly shot sideways and fiercely kicked the football. The football flew towards the empty door east of Leiden.
With a clang, the football hit the lower edge of the beam and directly bounced into Leiden East’s goal.
Leeds United scored in the seventh minute of the first half. The goal was scored by Albertini, one of the protagonists of the match. The fans present were very excited and excited. They applauded and shouted Albertini’s name.
Even many fans shed tears excitedly when they shouted Albertini’s name. Sad emotions spread in everyone’s hearts, engulfing the entire Elland Road Stadium.
Yes, after the goal, the Leeds United fans did not celebrate much and were very sad. Many Leeds United fans shouted loudly, “Demi, don’t go, stay, we still need you! We need you!”
Albertini, who scored, also burst into tears. He was very excited and reluctant to part with these adorable fans. However, there was no choice. There was no banquet in the world that did not end. There was always a time for people to bid farewell.
Albertini embraced the rushing Leeds United players and enjoyed the moment and the time he spent with his teammates.
Leeds United led Leiden East 1-0.
Zhong Cheng stood up and applauded Albertini. He kept nodding his head and did well.
Rogers frowned slightly. Looks like Leiden East still had a lot of things to change. After taking over Leiden East, Rogers had a lot of work to do on his own.
The game continued, and Leeds United were still in control of the situation. Of course, Leiden Orient also had occasional opportunities to attack. Sure enough, they are still following the traditional English football style, that is, directly opening the backcourt, looking for a high point in front, looking for a second point of attack, or directly heading the goal.
Unfortunately, it was clear that the Leiden Oriental players were still lacking in strength.
Rogers frowned. This football tactic was exactly the same as his football philosophy. He had a lot of homework to do in the new season. At this time, he was hoping that he could take more people away from Leeds United. He trusted Zhong Cheng’s vision very much.
However, Rogers did not know how many people he could take from Leeds United.
On the pitch, the game was still going on. The Leeds United players did not hold back because the other team was from League One. Their attacks were very ferocious. The players from Leiden Orient were truly unable to defend and felt a lot of pressure.
In the 11th minute of the first half, Luca Tony received a pass from Luca Jr. and Modric. He suddenly shot a cold arrow at the front of the restricted area and almost broke through Leiden East’s goal, which shocked the Leiden Orientals.
The goalkeeper of Leiden East pounced on the football and the centre-back of Leiden East cleared the siege, wanting to kick the football out of the sidelines. However, Watkin suddenly rushed forward from the side. He received the football and did not let it out of the line. The defenders from Leiden East were shocked and immediately rushed forward.
Joaquin pretended to break through to attract the full-back’s attention, then gently pushed the ball forward, allowing Gary Kelly, who was on the wing, to easily pass the full-back and receive the ball. Comfortably moving the ball forward, a kick curved the ball into the forbidden area east of Leiden-the front point!
Luca Tony, who was quickly following, jumped up easily and headed towards the goal, smashing the football into Leiden East’s goal with a bang.
2-0. In less than 15 minutes of the first half, Leeds United had a 2-0 lead.
Today’s main character Albertini scored a goal and Gary Kelly gave an assist. It was a perfect performance.
Leeds United fans watched the duo perform so brilliantly that they felt they had chosen to retire too early and should be pushed back by another two years.
Rogers also has the same idea, if only the two of them could follow him to Leiden East, Leiden East will definitely upgrade to the Champions League next season. Unfortunately, Rogers knew this was impossible. Albertini and Gary Kelly had both made up their minds to retire and neither of them could change it.
The Leiden East fans shook their heads. They really didn’t have a chance in front of Leeds United. Their goals were often in danger.
In the 29th minute of the first half, After Luka Modric and Albertini had two consecutive passes, Luka Modric suddenly easily smashed the back of Leiden East. Leiden East’s back was extremely nervous, so he didn’t want Luka Modric to touch it and directly hooked Luka Modric on the free kick.
Leeds United got a very good free-kick in the front court and the Leeds fans shouted, “Demi! Demi! Our dear Demi!”
Yes, Leeds United fans are hoping to see Albertini’s deciduous ball.
If Albertini said goodbye to his career, it would be a classic moment, a legendary end.
Albertini is in front of everyone under the weirdness of football, this will be him to start.
Albertini did not attach much importance to the goal. For him, it did not matter if the goal was scored or not. He was already very satisfied with his performance today. However, he still had to satisfy the fans’ wishes and take the ball seriously.
Standing in front of the football, Albertini put his hands on his hips and stared at the opponent’s wall with ease.
Albertini stood there very relaxed, looking very relaxed. The Leeds United fans were very excited and applauded.
At this moment, the referee whistled and was ready to serve.
Albertini took a deep breath and quickly ran up to the football. He suddenly stopped in front of the football. Then, he fiercely kicked the football. The football quickly flew up into the sky, crossed the human wall, and continued flying into the sky. It was as if it was going to hit the plane directly.
However, right at this moment, the football suddenly fell down rapidly, swiftly falling towards the upper right corner of Leiden’s oriental goal.
The goalkeeper from Leiden East couldn’t react and the football quickly flew into the goal, 3-0!
The Leeds United fans were all crazy. They were jumping up and down the stands, screaming crazily and shouting passionately. All of them jumped up excitedly, their mouths full of worship for Albertini. This ball was really perfect, too sharp, too powerful.
Leeds United fans kowtowed to Albertini in the stands.
Zhong Cheng also raised his fist high on the sidelines. This match was really going according to everyone’s expectations. Albertini’s farewell contest was perfect. Using the method he was best at, using his unique skill to retreat from the world was truly a legend.
Zhong Cheng also applauded non-stop and gave the applause to Albertini.
After the first half, Leeds United led 3-0.
After the second half of the match, Zhong Cheng still didn’t let the team hold back and continued to attack crazily. Rogers couldn’t help but glance at Zhong Cheng. This guy was very vengeful.
In the twelfth minute of the second half, Franck Ribery and Gary Kelly played a wonderful game together. At the bottom of the game, Gary Kelly provoked the ball into the restricted area. Substitute Edinson Cavani headed home a 4-0 header in the second half.
Gary Kelly also finished the second assists of the game and performed well.
Albertini and Gary Kelly were the only two teams left in the second half of the Leeds United game.
In the 26th minute of the second half, Leeds United centre-back Ville Mullen jumped up high and headed the goal, making the score 5-0.
The goal was not assisted by Gary Kelly, but by Evra.
Leiden Orient really didn’t have many chances in this match. Together, they definitely wouldn’t have more than six chances. They didn’t have many chances to threaten Zhong Zheng and Simon Minolai. There was only one chance. However, Simon Minolai did well that time, saving the football from the bottom line.
It could be seen that Leiden Orient was really at the level of a League One relegation team. Last season, they were going to relegate them to the next level and almost relegated them to the next level. After Rogers took over Leiden East, he had a lot of work to do.
