creator of giants

January 2005, 1, Leeds, England, Elland Road Stadium.

The weather in Leeds is not bad today, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. It is still a relatively warm day in winter here.

Naturally, countless fans came to Leeds United's home stadium, Elland Road, on this day.

The fans of Leeds United filled the stadium, and they all crazily pulled the banners. Those banners were full of words that criticized and humiliated the Liverpool people, showing their position, and at the same time taking revenge on the Liverpool fans.

Before the game started, the Leeds United fans declared war on the Liverpool people with singing, telling the Liverpool people, whose territory is this here?
It can be seen that the fans of Leeds United are very angry because of what happened in the first round. Now it is their turn. The fans of Leeds United will criticize the Liverpool people crazily and let the Liverpool people know why Huaer is like this red?

There are not many Liverpool fans who came to Leeds today, because it is a working day, and the Liverpool people are still away, so there are really few fans who can come to Leeds.Although there are few, they are all hardcore, and they have been fighting Leeds United from the very beginning!
Don't look at this group of Liverpool fans is a little small, but their fighting power is very strong!

Liverpool fans sang "You'll Never Walk Alone", using this song to support Liverpool, but also to fight back against Leeds United fans.

The match hadn't started yet, and the scene was already full of gunpowder.

The media reporters who came to the scene were very happy. This game was really full of highlights. After the game, this game will definitely cause a huge sensation.

It's not long before the game starts, but everyone at the scene feels that the time is really passing too slowly. When will the game start?
━━━Separation line━━━

Today's starters are as follows:
Away team: Liverpool, head coach: Benitez, formation: four four two
Goalkeeper: Kirkland

Back four [from left to right]: Jimmy Traore, Henkoz, Carragher and Riise

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Nunes, Hamann, Smicer and Partridge
Double striker: Cisse and Mellor

Before the game, Benitez repeatedly emphasized that he will send a full lineup for this game. In fact, it is all a lie. This is an international match day, and many countries that Liverpool can really go to the national team to report For example, their absolute main force Gerrard, Harvey Alonso, Baros and others.

However, Liverpool still sent some main players and main substitutes today, such as Carragher, Riise and Cisse, who are also members of the national team, but Benitez used his relationship to keep these people, obviously , Benitez is here to fight for breath.

The [-]-[-] loss to Leeds United in the first leg filled Benitez with anger, and now he is here for revenge.As he said before the game, he is going to stop Leeds United!

Home team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: [-]
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Back four [from left to right]: Zimbonda, Vermaelen, Boumsun and Sagna
Double defensive midfielders: Lars Diarra, Albertini
Three strikers [left to right]: Olić, Luka Modric and Milner

Solo striker: Bendtner

Today's law-abiding lineup of Leeds United also has a lot of changes, because the Leeds United club has now left four people to report to their respective national teams at all levels.

Everyone has been belittling so much that Luka Modric appeared on the starting list again. This is beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought that Luka Modric had been completely sidelined. The guy is the biggest failure of Leeds United's signings this season.

However, after seeing Luka Modric starting, Modric's agent, Mamic, breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Zhong Cheng kept his word and gave Luka Modric a chance.I hope Luka Modric seizes the opportunity to perform well and prove himself.

Davis, the Dutch wild boar that everyone is most looking forward to, did not appear in the starting list today, but he is sitting on the bench. Perhaps in the second half of the game, the Dutchman will complete his debut in Leeds United!
━━━Separation line━━━

beep!
The referee blew his whistle to start the game.

The first kick-off was the Liverpool team in the away game. The Liverpool team was mainly against the guest and launched a ferocious attack, flooding towards Leeds United's goal like a tide.

The fans of the Liverpool team were very excited and sang the Liverpool team's team song "You will never walk alone" loudly to cheer for the Liverpool players and shout passionately.

On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng clearly felt the murderous intent of the Liverpool people. Obviously, the Liverpool people took this game very seriously. It seems that this game will be an extremely tragic game.

Seeing the crazy attack of the Liverpool people, Leeds United's defense line is not messed up at all. Leeds United's tactic is to defend and counterattack. They are not only good at defense. Not only are they not afraid of the opponent's attack, but they are also very excited. .

The Leeds United players still follow Ortega's requirements in defense. They are very active in defense and have a lot of defensive moves. The most important thing is that they are full of pressure and are in physical contact at any time.

Many Leeds fans who are hostile claim that Leeds are not playing football, but rugby.

Countless teams and fans crazily criticized Leeds United for being dirty, and countless head coaches criticized Zhong Cheng for his rough and dirty tactics. On Cheng's head, Zhong Cheng became the sinner of the entire football world!

Liverpool's offense was very fierce, but Leeds United's defense was also very fierce. The players on both sides seemed to be fighting hand-to-hand during the game. The pitch was turned on their backs, and the referee's whistle kept ringing!

The Liverpool fans who came from afar were very upset and criticized the Leeds United players for their dirty tactics with all kinds of boos and abuse.Zhong Cheng was also crazily cursed and humiliated by the Liverpool fans, but Zhong Cheng stood quietly on the sidelines without any reaction.

At this time, Zhong Cheng's eyes were fixed on the court, and his brows were slightly raised.

Liverpool's offense is really too sharp, too fierce.Although Leeds United's defense seems to be very solid now, it is also worrying. The combination of Cisse and Mailer is really strong. This is definitely not an attacking combination that a Championship team can have. Their power is too great .

Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines and shouted into the court: "Keep an eye on Cisse, keep an eye on him!"

This guy Cisse has a body and is not slow. He is a very powerful striker and must be strictly guarded.

━━━Separation line━━━

Suddenly, Liverpool's frontcourt Mellor steals the ball!
Las Diarra's pass made a mistake, the football was in the middle of the road, and Mailer, who had been ambushing for a long time, made a steal and intercepted it!

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng immediately turned to look at Benitez!

This is definitely not an accident. This is a specific arrangement by Benitez. It can be seen that Benitez put down his body and carefully studied Leeds United's tactics. Now Leeds United's midfield defense strength is very good Yes, but still lacking in offense.

What is lacking is lacking in that Lars Diarra is a pure defensive player, and his passing ability is not strong.Therefore, when Leeds United counterattacked, it was almost impossible to see Lars Diarra passing the ball directly to participate in the counterattack. All he wanted was two defensive interceptions and the first time to hand the football to Albertini beside him. Or Modric.

This is why Modric often retreats deeply when kicking the midfielder.

Benitez studied Leeds United's tactics and discovered this.Therefore, after losing the ball, they were the first to put pressure on Las Diarra, and hide a stealer beside Las Diarra, ready to steal the ball at any time.

In this way, it can not only strangle Leeds United's quick counterattack, but also launch an attack in an instant, which really kills two birds with one stone.

Zhong Cheng's eyes tightened. In this game, Leeds United is in danger!

After stealing the ball, Mailer didn't put the football into Leeds United's penalty area immediately, because he found that Leeds United's defense line was dangerously good, and they had no chance.So, Mellor immediately sent the football to the wing, and the football rolled to Partridge on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Partridge faced Chimbonda's defense. Partridge pretended to dribble the ball through, but suddenly crossed his foot in the middle, and the football quickly rolled to the feet of the midfielder Smicer.

Smicer was an important part of the Czech 96 golden generation. He, Poboski, Nedved and others were one of the most iconic figures in Czech football in that era. He could play as a midfielder and left The position of front and shadow front.

Smicer is a very spiritual player!

After receiving the ball, Smicer did not pass the ball immediately, but suddenly stopped suddenly, then accelerated suddenly, and directly got rid of Lars Diarra who rushed forward to press. The Liverpool fans who came from afar were very excited Excited, they sent thunderous applause to Smicer.

Smicer immediately rushed to the restricted area of ​​Leeds United like a sharp knife.

Leeds United's defensive players did not panic. Vermaelen did not move forward rashly, but firmly blocked Smicer's forward line, blocking the angle of Smicer's shot.

And at this moment, on the forward line, Cisse and Mailer suddenly made a crossover, disrupting Leeds United's defense.Although the two central defenders of Leeds United were not tempted, they did not move at all.However, Smicer suddenly slanted his foot and stuffed the football into the ribs of the penalty area.

Liverpool's Norwegian cannon, Riise quickly inserted back, one step inside the penalty area line, and directly slammed the goal with his foot. With a bang, the football flew towards the goal of Leeds United.

The speed of the ball is super fast, even if Zhong Cheng reacted quickly, he could not catch the football.

The football flew into the Leeds United goal!

One to zero, No.14 minutes into the first half, the Liverpool team from afar scored a goal. It was their main player, the Norwegian Cannon Riise, who scored the goal. This guy can play as a full-back or a full-back. The speed is not bad, and the impact is full, the most important thing is that it has a super heavy cannon.

Riise's kick was a heavy shot in the penalty area. The speed of the ball was really too fast. Zhong Zheng really couldn't save it. Even Casillas and Buffon couldn't save this ball. No solution!

The Liverpool fans who came from afar were very excited and excited. They immediately shouted Riise's name and cheered for Riise.Benitez on the sidelines also raised his arms and shouted excitedly, today, we are going to stop Leeds United's goal!
