The new season is coming to an end.
On Saturday, August 13, 2005, the 2005-2006 Premier League war was reignited.
Manchester United, one of the BIG4, played first at this stage. Without any surprise, Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 away from home. Ferguson did not let the new signing Tevez play in this game.
On Sunday, the first surprise of the new season occurred. The new European champion Liverpool drew 0-0 away from home with Middlesbrough.
Then Arsenal beat Newcastle United 2-0 at home. Adebayor and Henry formed a double striker and scored twice. It took only one game to conquer Highbury Stadium!
Leeds United's home game against defending champion Chelsea was scheduled for the last game of this round.
The entire Chelsea team arrived in Leeds last night.
In an interview with reporters in the morning, Mourinho also responded to Li Shiguang's previous comments about him. He said that he would let Li Shiguang see what he meant by "he only knows how to play defensive counterattacks" in the evening. Chelsea can directly crush Leeds United with the hard power of its players, and he doesn't need to win by parking the bus.
After the interview with Mourinho, the reporters quickly conveyed Mourinho's words to Li Shiguang.
After hearing this, Li Shiguang's mouth curled up a trace of disdainful ridicule, saying that Mourinho's words were simply nonsense. He didn't think that Chelsea's players were much stronger than Leeds United in terms of hard power, and even weaker than Leeds United's players in some positions.
This confrontation between the two head coaches immediately caused a new round of verbal battles among fans of both sides on the Internet.
But no matter how fierce the quarrel between the two sides is, football matters must be resolved on the football field.
At 7:25 p.m., the players of both sides have lined up in the player tunnel and are ready to go out.
After more than two months, Ere Geddy's voice once again floated over Elland Road: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Elland Road!!!!"
"Today, after a year, our young guards will once again embark on the journey of the Premier League at Elland Road. In a few minutes, our boys will be here to face the defending champion Chelsea. Let us cheer for them~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Following Ere Geddy's high voice, the atmosphere on the scene was also pushed to a climax by the United fans.
"Next, please allow me to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams today, starting with our Leeds United."
"Today, Leeds United still lined up a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Falcao at the forefront! Behind him, from left to right, are the young players Gareth Bale, Berbatov and Sebastian Deisler who were just promoted to the first team by Li! The double defensive midfielders are our young captain James Milner and summer new signing Yaya Toure. The two central defenders in the backcourt are our old acquaintances, Chiellini and Kompany, and the two full-backs, Philipp Lahm from Germany on the left and Maicon who came to Leeds United from France in the summer on the right! The goalkeeper is still Schmeichel."
Although many fans have criticized Li Shiguang's new lineup before, it is their own team after all. After scolding, they still have to support it.
Especially the die-hard fans in the South Stand who had been conquered by Li Shiguang last season, every time Ere Geddy introduced a player, they would be greeted with crazy cheers. In their hearts, no matter how the team's players change, as long as Li Shiguang is still there, Leeds United is invincible!
After introducing the lineup of Leeds United, Ere Geddy continued to introduce the lineup of Chelsea: "Next is the visiting Chelsea. It is different from the previous one. Today Mourinho arranged a 4-3-3 lineup. The three forwards are Drogba in the middle, Duff and Robben on both sides of him, Joe Cole starts in the attacking midfielder position, and behind him are Makelele and Lampard. The back line from left to right is Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Gallas, and the goalkeeper is Cech."
Before the game, the head coaches of both sides actually got the other side's lineup.
When Li Shiguang saw the Chelsea lineup, he knew that he guessed right.
Mourinho didn't know whether he underestimated the opponent or was provoked by his own remarks, but he changed his usual 4-2-3-1 style of play. It seemed that he wanted to play offensive football today.
Seeing that his evil plan succeeded, Li Shiguang's signature smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself:
"Although Joe Cole and Robben are also extremely fast players, their defensive attributes are not strong, and today Mourinho put them in the wingers, leaving only two full-backs to face the impact of Bale and Deisler. Then we can only pray that they run fast enough, hehe."
Just after speaking in the locker room, Li Shiguang has used two cards on Falcao and Deisler respectively.
The attributes of the two have also changed.
Deisler is fine, just recovered to his original level.
But Falcao's current comprehensive evaluation has been pulled to S+, and in the three items of physical fitness, shooting power, and shooting accuracy, it has reached the peak value of 99.
After reading Falcao's attributes, Li Shiguang also had to sigh at the strength of Drogba at his peak! He is worthy of being the man who led a group of old men in Chelsea to snatch the Champions League title from Bayern Munich in 2012 with his own strength!
Just when Li Shiguang was still sighing at Drogba's strength.
There was a burst of cheers in the stadium, and the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game.
The first team to kick off was the visiting Chelsea.
After the game started, Chelsea changed their previous style and directly pressed forward, constantly attacking Leeds United's defense line through the speed of Robben and Duff.
In just 15 minutes after the start of the game, Robben made Lahm miserable, and even Milner would move to the left to assist most of the time.
At this time, the Little Flying Man had already shown his terrifying talent. Most of Chelsea's attacks would be launched from his left. Once there was a chance, Robben would cut in from the edge of the penalty area to create a shooting opportunity, and then shoot.
Within these 15 minutes, he had already had 3 shots. If there was no chance to cut in, he would find the right time to cross the ball from the bottom, and Drogba in the penalty area would use his strong physical fitness to compete for the first landing point to form a shot or knock it back to Joe Cole or Lampard who was hiding at the top of the penalty area.
Fortunately, in the locker room before the game, Li Shiguang specifically reminded the players and made it clear that Chelsea would definitely bombard and try to score first in the first 25 minutes, so he asked the defense to concentrate and not give the opponent too many opportunities.
Everyone also did as Li Shiguang asked.
Especially Toure, who had been wandering around the penalty area to help defend, did not lose the wind in two direct confrontations with Drogba, and grabbed the first landing point. One time, he even turned it into a quick counterattack. However, Bale, who received his pass, may also be inexperienced. In the end, when he brought the ball to Chelsea's bottom line, Terry broke it out of the sideline and did not form an effective shot.
But in the 29th minute, when everyone thought Chelsea was close to scoring, the situation on the field suddenly reversed.
It was Leeds United who scored the first goal!
