The Stamford Bridge Stadium is packed and the atmosphere is fiery!

The players on both sides were already standing on the pitch, and the match was about to begin.

The starting lineup for today is as follows:

Home: Chelsea, Coach: Grant, Formation: 4-3-3

Goalkeeper: Peter Cech

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Alex and Belletti

Three midfielders “left to right”: Michael Essien, Makelele and Frank Lampard

Three strikers from left to right: Salomon Kalou, Didier Drogba and Joe Cole

This is Chelsea’s squad for today. This squad and tactics are actually the same as José Mourinho’s. José Mourinho has built Chelsea into a strong team and many claim they are at their peak.

Many people also thought that Grant didn’t have any tactical ideas or systems to speak of. He had almost nothing of his own, all of which were things that continued from José Mourinho. Although Chelsea fired José Mourinho, they still used José Mourinho’s stuff!

This was quite ironic!

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

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Pique, Ivanovic and Sagna

Single waist: Sedu Keita

Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Frank Ribery, Luca Modric and Joaquin

Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani

This is the starting line-up for Leeds United today. Look, this is the normal starting line-up for Leeds United. This is the starting line-up for Leeds United at this stage.

Pique and Gary Cahill are both injured at the back and have yet to recover, so Ivanovic got a chance to start. Mohamed Sissoko, who is also injured on his back, has yet to recover and Sedu Keita is on the starting line-up.

Mohammed Sissoko was a player that Zhong Cheng had spent a lot of money on, hoping to build him into the absolute backside of the Leeds United team. Unfortunately, this fellow was seriously injured when he came to the Leeds United team. At the back, Sedu Keita is in the starting line-up and Stephen Mbia is on the bench. Yaya Toure was the third substitute back and forth between the waist and front waist!

Frank Ribery returned to the starting lineup after a few games of adjustment and recovery.

I wonder what kind of performance Frank Ribery will give in this match.

On the bench for Leeds United are goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, defenders Matts Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Gareth Bale, midfielders Yaya Touré and Joan Gourcuff, and strikers Alexander Pato.

These are all members of the 18-man list for the Leeds United game!

At this time, Zhong Cheng was dressed in a white suit, like a blooming white lotus, extremely eye-catching. The Leeds United fans who came from afar were all shouting Zhong Cheng’s name crazily, and that voice was filled with the shouts of countless female fans.

Sure enough, Zhong Cheng was still the idol of the female fans of Leeds United, the perfect lover, the national husband!

Zhong Cheng waved his hand to the grandstand, immediately attracting even louder cheers!

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the match!

The first to kick off was the Leeds United who had come from afar. As soon as they came up, the Leeds United came with a surprise attack!

Yes, Zhong Cheng had set up a tactic to snatch the start!

Because both Chelsea and Leeds United are defensive counterattacking teams, their tactics are somewhat similar. If both teams were defensive counterattacks, the game would be a bit dull, and it wouldn’t be so simple to break through the opponent’s goal!

Therefore, Zhong Cheng wanted to get off to a good start!

Grant was a very principled person, even a bit pedantic!

Grant’s tactics at Chelsea are based entirely on what Jos é Mourinho left behind. Many people even say that he imitates Jos é Mourinho, so his coaching style is somewhat rigid!

However, rigidity sometimes had its benefits!

At the very least, Grant would not be smart enough to destroy Jose Mourinho’s hard-won tactical system and mentality, which would ensure Chelsea’s integrity and ready-to-fight prowess.

So now that Grant has taken over Chelsea, the team is doing well.

However, media reporters and fans attributed the credit to Jos é Mourinho, and Grant has always lived in the shadow of Jos é Mourinho!

If you were to say that Grant didn’t have any strength or anything of his own, it would definitely be fake. On the contrary, in Zhong Cheng’s opinion, Grant was a very smart head coach and had some strength. Otherwise, how could he have achieved a good result at Chelsea?

Anyone who takes over Chelsea may not be as good as him.

Therefore, Grant was quite formidable!

Before the game, Zhong Cheng had always reminded the Leeds United players not to underestimate Chelsea and Grant.

It was because Zhong Cheng knew that Grant was modestly asking for change and was even a bit rigid. Therefore, he believed that the Chelsea team from the beginning is the defensive counter-attack.

Moreover, Chelsea’s defensive counterattack was very unique, different from Leeds United’s defensive counterattack.

Chelsea’s defensive counterattack was more often a frenzied counterattack from the front court. After stealing the ball, they quickly launched a three-foot pass to attack the opponent’s goal.

Furthermore, Chelsea can withdraw from the defensive line!

As a result, it is difficult to break through Chelsea’s goal in a normal offensive position. The Chelsea midfielder’s sweeping and intercepting ability, especially in the middle and front, is very strong. Look at the three defensive and intercepting midfielders at the back of the midfield.

Once the steal formed a counterattack, the speed of the two wings of the front court trio would be reflected. That’s why Jos é Mourinho likes to use players who are very fast on the frontlines, which is what he wants to do on the counter-attack and a very important part of the strategy.

Moreover, Jos é Mourinho’s counter-attack tactics are very demanding on the wingers. They need to be faster and they need to have strong dribbling ability and delivery ability. You can see how important the positions of these two wingers are in Jos é Mourinho’s counter-attack tactics.

Moreover, the center must be able to hold the ball, endure the defenders, pass the ball, and most importantly, the impact on the front line must be enough!

This is the hallmark of Jos é Mourinho’s defensive counterattack at Chelsea.

This was similar to Leeds United’s defensive counterattack. Zhong Cheng’s requirements for the two wings were quite good. Speed was the key, and he also had the ability to drive and pass the ball. Look at Frank Ribery and Joaquin, as well as the substitutes Samir Nasri and Eden Azar.

Leeds United’s defense was different from Chelsea’s. Leeds United’s defense was more holistic, more oppressive, had a lot of physical contact, and was very bloody. Their defense was more like a meat grinder!

Leeds United’s defense is also very powerful!

Therefore, if the two teams met, if there was no change, the game would be very difficult to score goals. The defensive strength of both teams was very strong.

Only then did Zhong Cheng set up a strategy to snatch the start!

Obviously, Grant did not expect Leeds United to come this suddenly, so at the beginning, Chelsea were a little panicked when they saw Leeds United’s performance.

When the middle lap kicked off. Luca Tony and Edison Cavani were like two sharp swords as they charged into the Chelsea box one after the other.

The football quickly rolled under Luka Modric’s feet!

Looking at Luka Modric’s posture, it seemed like he was going to have a long, big pass. The hearts of the Chelsea players tensed up. The Leeds United were going to attack.

At this moment, the Chelsea players have not fully entered the state, some people are still a little confused.

So, as Leeds United’s two strikers rushed forward, the defenders and midfielders shrank to the centre, squeezing out Luca Tony and Edison Cavani’s room for manoeuvre. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s defenders immediately rushed to Luca Tony and Edison Cavani to prevent them from catching the ball.

However, Luka Modric’s long-legged pass did not go to the center, instead sending the ball to the side.

Hua Jin, who was on the side of the road, continued to insert himself forward. In front of him was a smooth path.

Because Chelsea’s players have retracted, the wings have been cleared. Seeing this, the Chelsea fans and players were shocked and secretly said that it was dangerous.

The Chelsea wingers immediately frantically rushed out to intercept.

However, Joaquin had already stopped the football steadily. Seeing Chelsea winger Ashley Cole pouncing on him, Joaquin immediately stopped as if he was about to send the football to the center.

Ashley Cole, who was rushing forward, immediately braked, wanting to stand in front of Watkin and stop him from moving forward.

However, just as Ashley Cole was about to stop, Watkin’s right foot suddenly stabbed the football forward. Joaquin quickly dodged over Ashley Cole, who was in a hurry to stop.

Ashley Cole was speechless!

Joaquin used the rush stop to get rid of Ashley Cole and quickly drove the ball into the Chelsea box, causing the Chelsea fans to be nervous.

“Beautiful. The first attack from Leeds United was very beautiful. Chelsea are in danger now. They are really slow to get into shape. Leeds United have a chance!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson immediately shouted.

The Chelsea fans were terrified.

At this time, Chelsea’s central defender John Terry immediately turned around and rushed out, not rushing out more dangerous. John Terry had to jump out and stop Watkin from moving forward, and also stop Watkin from crossing.

However, Watkin’s movements were much faster than John Terry’s. The moment John Terry rushed out, Watkin swung his leg and directly passed.

The football flew towards the front of the small forbidden area!

This route was extremely dangerous. As long as someone touched it in the middle, it was almost certain that the goal would be scored!

The Chelsea fans were so nervous that they were speechless that they all stared at him worriedly.

“Luca Tony header!” Chelsea fans were shocked when Eddie Gray, the BBC’s commentator, suddenly shouted.
