721 Worthy of Being Called England’s Number One Nation
“Alright, the players from both sides have already appeared. Now let’s introduce the starting lineup for both sides!” Mark Lawrenson said.
The starting lineup for both teams today is as follows:
Team: Chelsea, Coach: José Mourinho, Formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Peter Cech
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Paul Ferreira
Three midfielders “left to right”: Michael Essien, Makelele and Frank Lampard
Three strikers “from left to right”: Malouda, Drogba and Joe Cole
This is Chelsea’s starting lineup for today, and this is Chelsea’s starting lineup for this season. It was clear that some of the main players had left, but there was no change in their main frame. Malouda took over Arjen Robben’s position.
However, from José Mourinho’s reluctance to part with Franck Ribery, it could be seen that he was worried about Malouda’s strength. Obviously, Malouda did not meet his requirements, which will be a shortcoming for Chelsea.
Team: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Evra, Gerard Pique, Compani and Sagna
Single waist: Mohamed Sissoko
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Samir Nasri, Luca Modric and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani
This was the starting lineup for Leeds United today. It was obvious that this was the main lineup of Leeds United for the new season. These two teams didn’t hide anything in this match. They were just going to fight to the death from the start.
It was clear that both teams viewed their opponents as sharpeners to test their team’s current condition and strength in preparation for the Premier League next season.
Before the match, both teams shouted very loudly, claiming that they would definitely win the championship at all costs in this match. They would definitely not show any mercy in this match.
Actually, it was only at this time that everyone realized that the clamors of the two teams before the match were all lies. They weren’t particularly interested in the outcome of this match. Whether or not they could win the championship was secondary. Their goal is to test the team’s strength by running into the squad.
However, these two teams were definitely the main force in the match, which made this match even more exciting.
The spectators were looking forward to the match and their eyes were fixed on the pitch. After all, this was the first official game after a long off-season, and they were watching it with great enthusiasm.
The players on both sides were now standing on the pitch in high spirits, waiting for the referee’s whistle.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng and José Mourinho were both standing in their positions.
The two of them also stared at the stadium. Then, they both turned their heads to look at each other on the sidelines. Both of their eyes flashed with the same brilliance!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the competition was about to begin.
The referee had already made the whistle sound like he was about to start the match-pu!
–Division Line–
The match had already begun, and neither team seemed to be particularly positive in the match.
This made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV somewhat unhappy. They had waited for such a long time before coming to such a match?
The players on both sides didn’t seem to be particularly aggressive in their offense. They were either probing or trying to lure the opponent out. Then, he struck back with his opponent’s counterattack, giving his opponent a fatal blow!
Yes, these two teams are the kind of teams that are good at defending and counterattacking. Naturally, they want to deal with each other in a way that they are good at.
The fans looked drowsy. This match really did not meet their expectations. They felt a little uncomfortable.
The two commentators on the BBC were both drowsy.
However, Zhong Cheng and José Mourinho sat steadily on the Diaoyutai Stage. Both of them sat on the coaching bench with broadswords and golden horses. They watched all of this calmly. There was no change in expression on their faces. They looked very relaxed.
The two of them didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. Could it be that this match was going to proceed in such a tacit manner?
Many people could tell that the two of them were competing for patience!
It was the ugliest thing to watch than patience. Everyone on the scene was drowsy. What was the point of this competition?
José Mourinho and Zhong Cheng looked at each other calmly and quietly.
On the pitch, the players on both sides were also very quiet. The match lasted for more than ten minutes, and the two sides only shot with one kick. It was still from Lampard’s long-range shot. The difference was very big.
The competition was very dull, but there were still a lot of people who could see something different.
That was because Leeds United’s ability to pass and control was greatly improved compared to last season. Their rhythm, timing, and routes of passing and control were all very clear and orderly. It was obvious that they had been carefully designed and trained.
Looks like Zhong Cheng and Leeds United were not blind this summer.
Leeds United and Zhong Cheng have stepped up their attacking prowess. The Leeds United team this season is stronger than last season’s Leeds United team. Because their ability to pass and control has improved a lot, it won’t be as difficult to play formation warfare as it was last season.
This was really due to the reward of the system mission. Zhong Cheng had obtained an “Intermediate Master of Communication and Control Training Skill”, which allowed the Leeds United’s communication and control ability to increase by so much.
Seeing this, José Mourinho was extremely shocked. Leeds United’s tactics had escalated again. Could this be Loria Tactics 3.0?
José Mourinho couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Zhong Cheng. This fellow was so young, how could he have such a strong tactical accomplishment and ability? Didn’t this guy start off halfway? How could he be so strong?
To tell the truth, José Mourinho, who was extremely proud today, was also shocked by Zhong Cheng. This fellow’s strength was indeed extraordinary.
However, José Mourinho is not worried and is confident in his chelsea side.
Leeds United’s tactics had indeed become even richer, and their strength had also increased. However, this was still a new tactic, and the Leeds United players had yet to reach the stage where they could handle it.
Therefore, the Chelsea team still has a chance in this match, and the chances are very high.
José Mourinho turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng. The corner of his mouth rose slightly!
–Division Line–
Bang!
With a loud noise, Drogba’s right foot ruthlessly touched the football!
“Drogba exploded at close range!” The BBC’s commentator, Mark Lawrenson, suddenly roared in horror and his expression changed drastically.
Lampard faked a violent long-range swing in the front of the box and suddenly stuffed the ball into Leeds United’s box. The ball rolled under Drogba’s feet.
Originally, the ball was not a big threat, but at the critical moment, Kompani slipped and rolled the football directly from his side to Drogba’s feet.
The turf was really slippery today, and some players had slipped many times.
There was too much turf watering in the new Wembley Stadium today. Isn’t that what happened to Compani? He slipped and lost his best defensive position. At the same time, he gave the football to the opposing striker.
Didier Drogba didn’t say anything. He aimed at the ball and shot it with a swing of his leg!
Didier Drogba’s fierce tiger shot was very sharp, very powerful and very fast. Moreover, it was such a close-range shot that even if a super goalkeeper was alive, it would still be difficult to save him.
The Chelsea fans jumped up excitedly and cheered wildly with their fists raised high.
José Mourinho also jumped up in excitement and fiercely waved his fist. The pressure on his body started to become very great. He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him. As long as he didn’t do a good job with you, he would be doomed.
Now, the pressure in his heart was much less.
However, just as the football was about to fly into the goal, a pair of hands crossed in front of the football’s path forward.
With a slap, the football fiercely gathered its hands and quickly rebounded.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Beautiful! Amazing! An incredible save! Aldrich actually managed to pounce on the football in front of the goal! Oh my God, this is not true! This is definitely not divine!” Even Eddie Gray didn’t believe it!
Because the ball was really too fierce and powerful, almost no one believed that anyone could pounce on it.
However, Zhong Zheng pounced on the football, causing everyone present to be dumbfounded!
At this moment, Zhong Cheng was a heavenly deity!
José Mourinho was incomparably disappointed and disappointed, and his mood was exceptionally bad. Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines and applauded incessantly. Just now, he was truly frightened to death. It was too frightening.
Lippick quickly kicked the ball out of the box and didn’t give Malouda a chance to revolve around him. Chelsea’s ferocious attack was disintegrated.
Zhong Zheng was really amazing. All the Leeds United fans present gave him thunderous applause. Zhong Zheng was indeed the number one international in the English national team, his strength was extremely awesome!
Corner kick, Chelsea get a corner kick!
Yes, the danger hasn’t been touched yet. Leeds United have to deal with the defenses of the corner kick before they can touch the threat.
Zhong Zheng shouted loudly, signaling the Leeds United players to pay attention to defense. Especially Didier Drogba, who was defending the back of the line. Didier Drogba’s heading ability was very powerful and he definitely couldn’t give him any chances.
At this moment, the referee whistled and served.
Joe Cole, who was in the corner, arced the ball into Leeds United’s box and flew quickly to the front of the box. John Terry leapt up high and scratched his head. Didier Drogba leapt high into the air to head Kompani’s header.
The Leeds United fans were shocked. How could the ball have allowed Joan Terry to head to football so easily? The Leeds United fans’ faces changed slightly.
John Terry’s movement was very exquisite, confusing Peeker behind him. Peeker was a step late, causing John Terry to jump up and head back.
All the defenders’ attention went to the front point. When the ball flew backwards, it was too late for the defenders to divert their attention. Didier Drogba leapt high into the air, crushing Leeds United centre-back Gianluca Compani as he slammed his head into the flying soccer ball.
With a bang, the football flew over like a missile.
“Drogba! Drogba again, header! Danger, Leeds United is in danger!” The BBC commentator, Eddie, screamed in horror.
In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng immediately threw himself sideways like a spring man. He bounced very high and very fast. His extended palm quickly touched the football!
