The next day, news of the Leeds United-Eindhoven game spread all over the world!
The major media were crazily reporting that they had caught the “fake ball”. Many media were pulling out screenshots of Blechette’s special delivery points and detailing the process before and after Blechette’s delivery points. They claimed that Blechette was playing fake balls one after another.
Moreover, many media outlets, including The Times, The Manchester Evening News and The Mirror, have acted fairly and voted to see if the ball was a fake. The Times said 76 percent of the votes were fake, 8 percent were non-fake and 16 percent were not interested.
The Manchester Evening News was the most shocking, with 88 percent believing it was a fake and 8 percent believing it wasn’t a fake, regardless of interest!
It could be seen that the Manchester people were not at all courteous towards their mortal enemies!
The Mirror’s approval rating was the same, with the majority of fans supporting the game as a fake. However, their approval rating was only 64%, with 28% believing that the game was not a fake, and only 6% not interested.
Therefore, most people now think that this match is a fake ball!
It was because Blechette and Isaksson’s performances were too bad and too obvious. This was not a fake ball. What was a fake ball?
During this period of time, this question was stirred up. Countless fans were discussing this matter. The fans from all over the world were participating in this discussion. They were all discussing whether this match was a fake ball or not. Some people even fought to the point that their faces were red and they started to curse on the Internet.
The impact of this matter is very big, UEFA naturally will not sit idly by.
Uefa immediately announced that they would set up an investigation team to investigate the match in detail and give everyone an explanation in the end.
Of course, a lot of people don’t believe UEFA, but they still want to see the results of the UEFA investigation.
Of course, there were also a lot of very reasonable people. They felt that what Blechette and the others said was very reasonable. This match was not a fake ball. If it was all a fake ball, then Blechette and the others’ IQ was too low. They were simply stupid.
Right now, countless people were paying attention to this matter, but Zhong Cheng did not pay too much attention to it.
Because there was no point in paying attention to this. It was obvious that these public opinions were controlled by those damned media. The truth was that this was not the case. Could this be a fake ball?
Zhong Cheng didn’t care about this anymore!
By this time, the Champions League group matches had been held for two rounds. Leeds United had won two matches and their results were very good.
Athletics Madrid beat Marseille 2-1 at home. Therefore, Atletico Madrid was still ranked first. They defeated Eindhoven 3-0 in the first round and defeated Marseille 2-1 in the second round. Although the goal was the same as Leeds United, they scored more goals, so Atletico Madrid was ranked first.
Leeds United are second in the group!
Ranked third in the group was Marseille. Although they had also lost two consecutive games, they were much better than Eindhoven in terms of goal. Marseille’s goal was second against Eindhoven and Eindhoven’s goal was sixth against Eindhoven. How could this compare to the Marseille Club?
Right now, Leeds United are lagging behind Atletico Madrid. Actually, the difference is not too big. Next, Leeds United will play Atletico Madrid back-to-back in the Champions League. They will play Atletico Madrid for two consecutive matches. In these two matches, it is very likely that they will think who is the first in the group.
Therefore, these two rounds of matches are very crucial. At the same time, the other two teams in the group are also very concerned, because these two matches are also related to their fate.
To be honest, Eindhoven and Marseille wanted two things to happen. One was that the two teams were tied in two matches, so the difference between their points would not be too big, and they would have a chance. Another situation is that someone wins both matches, so that they can at least compete for a spot.
The last thing they want is for Leeds United and Atletico Madrid to play one game each, which is the worst thing for them.
Of course, Zhong Cheng was hoping that they could defeat Atletico Madrid directly and win the first place in the group as soon as possible.
This will give them more energy to play in the league.
Speaking of the Premier League, Leeds United will now play Bolton at home this weekend.
Bolton’s result is terrible. Their record is one win, one draw, four losses, four points. They are 18th in the Premier League, third from bottom. It is in the relegation zone.
Such an opponent was indeed very weak.
Zhong Cheng was confident in this match, but he could not let down his guard.
At this time, Zhong Cheng did not need to think too much, because after this round of matches, the Premier League was going to enter a short off-season, and the damn International Day was coming again.
Yes, Zhong Cheng was worried about the Leeds United players again. He was really afraid that the Leeds United players would get hurt again. To be honest, if the Leeds United players got hurt again, the Leeds United team would collapse this season.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng was reminding the Leeds United players to protect themselves when they returned to the national team and not get injured easily. Otherwise, they would be doomed.
Of course, what Zhong Cheng is thinking about now is the upcoming weekend league tournament.
Leeds United played Bolton at home, and Zhong Cheng’s starting line-up for this game was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Ivanovic, David Lewis and Glen Johnson
Single waist: Stephen Mbia
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Gareth Bale, Jaya Toure and Marco Royce
Twin strikers: Diego Milito and Alexander Pato
The Leeds United starting line-up has changed somewhat this game, starting with Ivanovic and David Lewis at centre-back, which is rarely seen in Leeds United, followed by Glen Johnson’s return to the starting line-up at right-back.
Glen Johnson has finally recovered from his injury, the fastest in the Leeds RUF.
Zhong Cheng rotated from one waist to the other. Sedu Keita rested and suffered from Stephen Mbia.
In the vanguard, Yaya Toure is finally starting, rotating Luca Modric, while Marco Royce, who performed well, is in the starting line-up, while Samir Nasri is sitting on the bench.
Samir Nasri is very anxious now that Cristiano Ronaldo is injured, his chances are better. If Cristiano Ronaldo comes back from his injury, he won’t have a chance!
Now Samir Nasri is wondering if he was right or wrong when he joined Leeds United?
In his first season at Leeds United, he was highly valued, but he suffered serious injuries and didn’t make many appearances in a season. This season, his order of appearances was very low, and Samir Nasri regretted it.
He should have joined Arsène Wenge’s Arsenal team back then, so he should be Arsenal’s main player now. Unfortunately, he chose to join Leeds United back then.
Of course, Samir Nasri did not blame Zhong Cheng, mainly because his life was not good. When he arrived at Leeds United to receive attention, he was seriously injured and missed an excellent opportunity. If he hadn’t been injured, he would have believed that he was already a regular for Leeds United.
Unfortunately, the will of the heavens is like this. Good fortune is a joke!
Samir Nasri was sitting on the bench, waiting for an opportunity.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United attacked instead of defending. The Bolton players were a little unexpected. The first line of defense was messed up by Leeds United, and the goal of the Bolton team was in danger.
In the third minute of the first half, Leeds United’s Diego Milito shot straight into Bolton’s goal from the front of the box, sending a tiger knocking on the door. Fortunately, the football hit the post of the goal. Otherwise, the goal would have been scored without a doubt.
The Boltons were shocked, and quite shocked.
The Boltons immediately turned to defense, and at this moment, Leeds United attacked crazily, crazily surrounding Bolton’s goal.
Twenty-six minutes into the first half, Leeds United player Alexander Pato received a direct ball from Yaya Touré and sent the ball directly to Alexander Pato’s feet.
Alexander Pato used his speed to break through the opposing defense, then shot out and scored the far corner of the goal, 1-0.
Yes, Leeds United have scored and are ahead of their opponents.
Five minutes later, Leeds United broke through Bolton’s goal again. The goal was still scored by Alexander Pato. It was a corner kick. Alexander Pato missed in the middle of the penalty area and swept the ball into Bolton’s goal with a kick.
As the first half drew to a close, Leeds United were given a direct free-kick. Then Gareth Bale curled the ball into Bolton ‘s goal,
At the end of the first half, Leeds United led 3-0.
The Leeds United fans were very excited, while the Boltons could only hug their heads and cry.
The second half of the game began without any change in the situation, with Leeds United taking an absolute advantage. In the second half of the game, Leeds United scored three goals in a row. In the end, Leeds United defeated Bolton 6-0 and won the game.
