creator of giants

On December 2005, 12, in the No.3 round of the Premier League, Leeds United challenged Birmingham in an away game. Leeds United conceded a goal first, relying on the goals of Crespo and Pique, the second match Yi reversed the score and scored three points.

A week later, Leeds United continued their away trip to play Blackburn again.

Zhong Cheng leads the team on consecutive away trips. Whether the players of Leeds United have a little physical problem, or is it because of the sequelae left over from the ultra-high-intensity game against Manchester United? In this game, Leeds United The players were very active, but in the end Leeds United lost to Blackburn in the away game [-]-[-].

This is also the second time Leeds United have lost to Blackburn this season.

The last time they lost to Blackburn was in the English League Cup this season. The defending champion was eliminated in the first round and went directly to the first round.

After losing this round of the game, Leeds United fell behind Chelsea by nine points, which is a relatively large difference.And according to the state of the Chelsea team, it is relatively difficult for Leeds United to surpass Chelsea.

And at this time Manchester United has caught up, Manchester United is only one point behind Leeds United.At the same time, Liverpool are only three points behind Leeds United. Leeds United are in a very dangerous situation.

At this time, Leeds United's main focus is on the last round of the UEFA Cup group stage in the middle of the week. This game is very important for Leeds United. It's up to a draw.

But in this game, Zhong Cheng is still in the suspension period and has no way to lead the team.

Rogers is still leading the team this time, but Rogers' leadership is very unstable. Leeds United fans don't know what is going on with Rogers leading the team this time?Will he lead the team to victory, or will he lead the team to failure?

Leeds United fans have a question mark in their hearts!

At this time, Leeds United fans naturally hope that Rogers can lead the team to victory.

Before starting, Zhong Cheng said to Rogers like this: "This game, play well. Now we don't have too much pressure. Even if we lose, we still have a chance to qualify. So you have to take it easy. Do you know how to lead the team well?"

Rogers kept nodding, indicating that he knew.

In this game, Zhong Cheng still did not follow Leeds United to the away game. He completely handed over this game to Rogers and let Rogers take full control.

This naturally attracted a lot of criticism. Some Leeds United fans thought Zhong Cheng was too irresponsible. How could such an important game be handed over to Rogers, a half-assed player?Some people think that Zhong Cheng is very good, he is very dedicated to the training of Rogers and others, and he is a very good head coach.

Anyway, at this time, there is everything to say.

Although, Zhong Cheng asked Rogers to relax and not to be stressed.But Rogers was still under a lot of pressure, and he felt that he was about to be crushed.

However, Rogers is also full of confidence, he believes in himself.

Not long after the start of the game, Leeds United took the lead, and it was Rodgers' very kind of Crespo who scored the goal.This made Rogers breathe a sigh of relief, but soon he panicked, because the Marseille team quickly equalized the score.

And before the end of the second half, the Marseille team overtook the score, two to one.

In the second half of the game, Rodgers made the whole team attack crazily, but Leeds United still failed to score. In the end, Leeds United lost the game away.

When losing this game, Rogers' heart almost jumped out of his throat.And the Leeds United fans who came from afar were criticizing and cursing Rogers, and Rogers ruined a good situation.

Seeing Leeds United being eliminated like this, the fans of Leeds United were naturally very angry.Rodgers became a scapegoat, cursed frantically by Leeds United fans.Even Zhong Cheng was scolded. They thought that Leeds United was eliminated entirely because of Zhong Cheng's irresponsibility, and they let the team go to Rogers. This is simply looking for death.

Leeds United fans cursed Rodgers and Zhong Cheng frantically.Soon, though, they discovered they had made a mistake.Because Leeds United were not eliminated, they were mistaken.

This is embarrassing for Tamar!

Leeds United ranked third in the group with six points and directly qualified for the third place in the group.

Seeing that Leeds United had qualified, Rogers was relieved. Fortunately, he did not become a sinner through the ages.

However, at this time, the fans of Leeds United were still cursing Rogers crazily. If it wasn't for this guy, they wouldn't have made a false alarm.

However, fortunately, the result was not bad, Leeds United was not eliminated, and they still have a chance to move on.

After the UEFA Cup group stage, all the top 32 were born. Group A's Monaco, Hamburg and Prague Slavia qualified for the promotion, Group B's Palermo, Espanyol and Lokomotiv Moscow qualified for the group. Group D star, Lens and Hertha Berlin qualify, Group D Middlesbrough, Akmaia and Letex qualify, Group E Strasbourg, Rome and Basel qualify Advancement, Group F Marseille, Sofia Levski and Leeds United advance to the group stage, Group G Rapid Bucharest, Shakhtar Donetsk and Stuttgart group group qualifying, Group H Sevilla, Zenit St Petersburg and Bolton Qualified to advance.

A total of 24 teams have been produced here, and eight teams are No.3 in each group of the UEFA Champions League this season. They are Bruges, Thun, Udinese, Lille, Schalke 04 , Rosenborg, Real Betis and Artemedia.

This is the top 32 of the UEFA Cup this season, and the next step is the draw ceremony for the top 32 knockout rounds.

Zhong Cheng, as the head coach of Leeds United, naturally went to UEFA headquarters to participate in the draw ceremony.

Here, Zhong Cheng naturally saw the two guys he was most willing to see, Allardyce and McLaren, and before that, McLaren was taught a lesson by Zhong Cheng, and the Bolton team lost badly.

At this moment, when McLaren looked at Zhong Cheng, his eyes were full of resentment.

Zhong Cheng didn't have the time to go to these two guys at all, and Zhong Cheng's thoughts were all on the upcoming lottery ceremony.

The result of the lottery this time is as follows:
Letex vs Strasbourg, Lokomotiv Moscow vs Sevilla, Artemedia vs Sofia Levski, Basel vs Monaco, Hertha Berlin vs Rapid Bucharest, Lille vs Shakhtar Donetsk , Leeds United v Steaua Bucharest, Rosenborg v Zenit St Petersburg, Schalke 04 v Espanyol, Udinese v Lens, Bolton v Marseille, Club Brugge v Roma, Real Betis v Akmaia, Thun against Hamburg, Stuttgart against Middlesbrough and Slavia Prague against Palermo.

This is the hottest matchup table, Leeds United's opponent is Steaua Bucharest.

Leeds United and Bucharest are really destined. In the knockout round before the group stage, Leeds United's opponent was from Bucharest, and that opponent called Dynamo Bucharest.Now that the top 32 knockout rounds are underway, Leeds United's opponent is still from Bucharest, calling Steaua Bucharest.

Leeds United are now short of playing against Bucharest Quick. In this case, they will have played all the top three in Bucharest.

The UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout rounds will not take place until late February. During this period of time, Leeds United will not have any UEFA Cup matches.

At this time, the door to winter transfers will soon open.

Now many people think that Leeds United should add some players when they are in the east window, especially in the midfielder position. There is only one Gourcuff, which is not enough.

Fortunately, Olic, Ribery, Alexander Song and others can play this position.In fact, the most important thing is that Modric is about to recover now. Now Modric is already undergoing recovery training, and he will be able to return to the court soon.

After Modric returned to the court, having Modric and Gourcuff in the front midfielder position is actually pretty good. If there is one more player, there will be no chance of a game.So, it's useless to introduce a midfielder at this time?

On the contrary, in the position of the midfielder, Zhong Cheng felt that it was still necessary to introduce a capable player.

However, there are not many super strong midfielders in today's world football, but that is a scarce resource in the world now.Every giant is robbing such a player, how could it be possible for Leeds United to take it away?
This is why Zhong Cheng has been looking for some young midfielders with great potential.

However, Alexander Song, Diaby and others are still too young this season, so Leeds United conceded so many goals this season. Alexander Song, Diaby and others are still too young, although they have great potential. But not mature yet.

In the game, they can have two-eyed performance, but they will also have various problems due to experience. Therefore, Zhong Cheng wants to find an experienced midfielder.

Just like Davis, who was on loan last season, let's see if he can rent another one this winter?
In fact, Li Tie of the Everton team is not bad at this time.

Li Tie is a main rotation player in Everton. In fact, Moyes has high hopes for Li Tie, but Li Tie does not have much talent in offense, and he seems to have been injured recently. Therefore, Moyes' plan has already There is no room for Li Tie.

This Li Tie is exactly the type Zhong Cheng wants. In the midfielder position, Zhong Cheng needs a player who is purely defensive, just like Las Diarra last season.

After Li Tie came, he only needed to be responsible for the defense in front of the back line and the sweeping of large areas.The offense can be handed over to the teammates around you, just defend with all your strength.

Even, Zhong Cheng hoped that the main defensive midfielder would not have any offensive ability, so that he would not advance forward and always defend at the back with peace of mind, so that the rear would not be empty because of the defensive midfielder's forward attack.

Now Li Tie is very much in agreement with Zhong Cheng's request.

The only question now is what happened to Li Tie's injury?Can Li Tie play in the second half of the season when he falls to the ground?If he can play, Zhong Cheng hopes to try out Li Tie on loan for half a season. If Li Tie performs well, it is not a problem for Zhong Cheng to sign him.

The relationship between Zhong Cheng and Moyes is very good. If Zhong Cheng really wants to introduce Li Tie, who is not in Moyes' plan, it should be very easy.

Zhong Cheng suddenly turned his head and said to his assistant, Julia Oliveira: "Julia, go and send a message to the transfer department and ask them to inquire about Everton's Li Tie's injury!"

Julia Oliveira was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "Okay, I see, boss!"
