Episode [114]: The most attacking team in the Championship

Before the game, Ipswich Town coach Joe Royle also accepted interviews with media reporters.

Joe Royle said: "At the beginning of the season, Leeds United's performance did exceed many people's expectations, and it also exceeded my expectations. Their results are very good, and the strength of the crazy Loya also surprised me. But Now everyone can see that Leeds United's set of tactics has been thoroughly understood by everyone, and they are nothing to worry about now. We, Ipswich Town, have the confidence to win this game!"

Facing questions from media reporters, Joe Royle immediately said: "Of course, we will not make any changes. We are very confident in our offense. And this is our home court, we will definitely have I am confident that the sharp attack will break Leeds United, which is in dire straits!"

Ipswich Town is now the most attacking team in the English Championship. They have scored 18 goals in 42 rounds, averaging 2.3333 goals per game. This scoring rate is very amazing.No wonder Joe Royle would be so loud before the game, he really has the confidence and ability.

Joe Royle, this guy is Everton's legend, he played for Everton from 1966 to 1974, played for Everton for 8 years, during these 8 years, he played for Everton He played 276 games and scored 103 goals, becoming the top scorer in the Everton team for five consecutive seasons.

After this guy became the head coach, he also advocates offense. It can be seen that he really has a set of offense.

Now he is waiting for Leeds United at his home court.

November 2004, 11, Ipswich, Suffolk, England.

Today, Portman Loo Stadium is crowded with people, almost all of them are fans of the home team. They wear blue home jerseys and come to cheer for their favorite team, cheering endlessly.

There are still some Leeds United fans going away today, but there are too few conceded defeats, it seems that there are less than 100 people, which shows the embarrassing situation of Leeds United at this stage.

However, Zhong Cheng didn't care too much, as long as the home court is full, and the away game won't receive ticket fees.

In the shabby locker room of the visiting team, Zhong Cheng was giving instructions to his players face to face.

Zhong Cheng said very seriously: "This Ipswich Town team is very strong. They were relegated from the Premier League two seasons ago, but in the following two seasons, they performed very well in the Championship. They all made it to the promotion play-offs and fell short in the end, which shows that they are the top team in the Championship!"

What Zhong Cheng said was right. He reached the promotion play-offs for two consecutive seasons and was almost promoted. This is something that many teams cannot do.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Joe Royle has taken over the team for a season and a half, and now the style of play is more pure. This is a very difficult bone!"

The players of Leeds United seldom see Zhong Cheng being so serious. It seems that they only saw it before the game against Arsenal.The fans of Leeds United were shocked. Zhong Cheng actually put Ipswich Town on the same level as Arsenal. They knew the difficulty of this game.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich Town's striker is very powerful. Do we have to know our defense closely in this game?"

The Leeds United players nodded.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich's striker is a combination of one tall and one fast. Shefki Kutcher is a 188-foot-high Finnish flying man with excellent header ability. He is a player of the Finnish national team. He is partnered with the young England. Darren Bent, the main striker of the U21 national team, this is a pair of forwards with very high scoring efficiency!"

The players of Leeds United became serious and their eyes were sharp.

Zhong Cheng said: "Here I want to focus on Darren Bent. This is a fast striker. He played for Ipswich Town in the Premier League at the age of 17. He played 7 times that season and scored goals. 2 Two goals, good performance. After Ipswich Town was relegated, this young talented striker was the main force of the team. He scored 2002 goals in the 2003-18 season and 2003 goals in the 2004-16 season. He has scored eight goals this season and I think you all know what that means?"

Leeds United's defensive players are very serious.

Zhong Cheng said: "The defensive task in this game is very heavy, Gerrard and Thomas, you two must stand firm for me, and you must watch this sharp offensive combination for me!"

Zhong Cheng of the later generations once studied the game in the first year of the British Championship. This super striker combination of Ipswich Town has attracted Zhong Cheng's attention. In later generations, the two jointly scored 39 goals this season. Shefki Kutch scored 20 goals and Darren Bent scored 19 goals, the efficiency is amazing.

This is also the reason why Zhong Cheng attaches great importance to this combination. These two are a classic combination of one high and one fast, and there is still a very tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the two, which makes it even more difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the Ipswich Town midfielder also has assist experts such as the quasi-Scottish national Tommy Miller and the Northern Ireland international Jim McGillton. This is the reason for the sharp attack of this Ipswich Town team.

As for Leeds United, Bumsong is injured and is still recovering from his injuries. Today Zhong Cheng has to choose the young central defender combination of Pique and Vermaelen. Can this combination withstand the impact of these two forwards? It's really hanging.

Zhong Cheng gave a last word of advice: "Gerald, Thomas, you may be troubled today!"

The two immediately said neatly: "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely not let you down!"

Zhong Cheng reminded Chimbonda and Gary Kelly again: "Pascal and Gary, you must not only pay attention to the defense against Tommy Miller and others, but also pay attention to the opponent's two full-backs, Matthew Richard. Zi and Fabian Venice, the assist ability of these two people is very good!"

Gary Kelly and Gary Kelly nodded firmly.

━━━Separation line━━━

After talking about defense, Zhong Cheng started talking about offense again.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich Town's central defender combination is also a combination of one tall and one fast. The Canadian international Jason DeVos with a height of 193cm and the black central defender Dereza Diallo from Africa with a height of 185cm, this The cooperation between the two is also very good. This season, Ipswich Town has conceded 21 goals so far. Their defense is not the best, but they still have a certain strength!"

Leeds United's offensive players nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

Zhong Cheng said: "Jason DeVos' turning speed is very slow, so he usually lags behind and defends frontally, while Dereza Diallo is fast and flexible. He usually grabs, intercepts, chases and makes up. Fang, this guy has amazing physical fitness!"

Leeds United's offensive players listened to Zhong Cheng's introduction, and they were all carefully thinking about the solution.

Zhong Cheng said: "The two full-backs of Ipswich come in and assist, and the assists are relatively large. We must use the space behind them, you know?"

The eyes of Leeds United's offensive players lit up and found the center of gravity of the attack.

Zhong Cheng said: "We have lost five games in a row in the league, and now we can't lose again. And you know, this game is a six-point game, I hope you can go all out to win this game The game, we need this win!"

The players of Leeds United immediately shouted firmly: "Victory! Victory! Victory!"

Midfield Four [from left to right]: Tommy Miller, Kevin Horlock, Tony Tinen, Jim Macgierton

Forwards: Shefki Kutch and Darren Bent
Looking at this lineup, I know that Ipswich Town is very strong. There are many international players in the lineup, and they are all of good strength.

At the beginning of the game, Ipswich City launched a very fierce attack amidst the cheers of the fans.

Ipswich Town's midfielders are all international-level players. Although they are not the absolute main players today, the strength of these people is already very good. Jim McGillton is already very old. He is 35 years old. It is said that after the end of this season, he will choose to retire, but he started today.

Jim McGillton is getting old and his speed is not good, but he has very rich experience. He used to be a Northern Ireland international. His current pass is very demonic and coquettish!
Just 5 minutes into the game, Jim Magirton sent a very precise 45-degree diagonal cross. The football quickly passed over Vermaelen's head and flew towards Finland behind Vermaelen. Flyer Shefki Kutcher.

Shefki Kutch’s title of Flying Finn comes from a celebration he made after scoring a goal. He rushed a certain distance, and then kicked his legs on the ground, and his whole body flew out, flying into the air, as if swimming The athletes started off the same way, then plopped into the pool, while Kutcher flopped onto the turf.

The commentator at the time gave Shefki Kutch the nickname of a Finnish trapeze, which has been used to this day.

It has also been claimed that Kutcher's Flying Finn title was a compliment to his jumping ability, as he really looked like a flying man when he jumped up for a header.

At this time, Shefki Kuqi jumped up high, like a flying man.

Amidst the frenzied screams of the Ipswich Town supporters, Shefki Kutch headed the ball and slammed the football back.

"The Finnish trapeze header!" Mark Lawrensen exclaimed.

Ipswich Town's offensive power is really good. The game has just started, and they got a very good opportunity to endanger Leeds United's goal.

The ball is fast, like a bolt of lightning.

Scott Carson was shocked in front of the goal. He immediately flew sideways and stretched his hands desperately.

To be honest, Scott Carson himself did not have the confidence to save the ball.

With a snap, Scott Carson caught the football with his right hand. He was overjoyed, and the Leeds United fans on the sidelines all jumped up and cheered excitedly.

The football immediately bounced out and flew towards the middle of the penalty area.

"Ah, not good!" Eddie Gray exclaimed suddenly, his face pale.

"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! Only 5 minutes into the game, Ipswich Town scored a goal! It was their young striker Darren Bent who scored the goal!" Mark Lawrenson was immediately surprised Exhale.
