Chapter 231： Episode [231]: World Famous Star Processing Factory

Still Belgium, Ghent!

The weather today is nice and sunny, but the temperature is not very high. It was also breeze, relatively cool, and it was good weather for a game.

Today, the pre-season warm-up match between Leeds United and Ajax will take place at the Horace Otten Stadium, home of the Ghent Club. This stadium is small and can only accommodate more than 12,000 people.

Today is full of fans, they are all here to watch this game.

Ghent local fans have rarely had the chance to see such a match, so the Ajax vs Leeds match is still very attractive for them. Although the stadium is not completely filled, you will still feel that the stadium is full when you look down.

There are some fans wearing Ajax jerseys in the stands. It can be seen that Ajax also has many fans in Ghent. As for the fans of Leeds United, there are naturally, although the reputation of Leeds United is not as profound as Ajax. However, in the first two or three years, the youth training storm of Leeds United has attracted the attention of countless people and attracted countless fans.

Now the fans on both sides are distinct, but the atmosphere between them is very harmonious.

Of course, there are more ordinary fans at the scene. Most of them are wearing Ghent club jerseys, and some of them came to the scene in casual clothes.

The atmosphere of this game looks very friendly, these fans are here to enjoy the joy that football brings to them, not to fight.

Being able to play in such an atmosphere, the players on both sides seem to feel that when they were young, they are playing football for the first and most true happiness in football.

━━━Split line ━━━

Zhong Cheng made some adjustments to the starting lineup of Leeds United today. The formation is: 4-1-3-2

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Four defenders [from left to right]: Evra, Vermaelen, Pick and Gary Kelly

Single back: Russ Diarra

Three avant-garde [from left to right]: Ribery, Modric and Lennon

Double forwards: Huntelaar and Darren Bent

After Leeds United's coaches saw this lineup, they all knew that this should be the main lineup of Leeds United this season, and maybe a bit of a minor position. For example, in the position of Darren Bent, he has to compete with Olich, and Lennon's position is not reliable.

However, the main lineup of Leeds United's new season is probably this.

Zhong Cheng, wearing a white suit, stood quietly on the side of the court, pretending to be forced. In this game, he will see what the status of these main players is. If the state is not very good, the starting lineup of Leeds United in the new season may continue to adjust.

At this time, Ajax's head coach Danny Blinder is also staring closely at the starting lineup of Leeds. Danny Blinder was also surprised: "What a young group of guys!"

Yes, this lineup of Leeds United is really too young, the oldest of which is Gary Kelly, except for some young people who are eighteen, nine and twenty, this young is simply outrageous.

Danny Blinder is thinking, can this group of young people really be able to get a foothold in the Premier League? To be honest, Danny Blinder doesn't think Leeds could succeed in relegation in the Premier League.

Looking at these starters in Leeds United, Danny Blinder is very confident in this game.

Ajax's lineup today is a four-three-three formation, starting as follows:

Goalkeeper: Marten Steinberger

Four defenders [from left to right]: Maxwell, John Heitinga, Joel Luca and Hatem Trabelsi

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Sneijder, De Jong and Maduro

Three forwards [from left to right]: Marcus Rosenberg, Charisteas and Babel

This is the Ajax team's starting lineup today, and there are also new recruits such as Marcus Rosenberg. Marcus Rosenberger joined the Ajax club for a transfer of 5 million euros this season. Prior to this, Marcus Rosenberger's agent Dahlin rejected the sky-high offer by CSKA Moscow. .

Marcus Rosenberg was very mediocre when he first appeared, and he didn't perform much in the team. But since the European Cup came off the bench in 2004, the Swedish striker has been reborn. In that session, he scored three goals on the bench and played well.

Last season, he won the top scorer in Sweden's top league and was also the assist king, which naturally attracted the attention of countless European giants.

Marcus Rosenberg's Swedish predecessor Larson also recommended it to the Barcelona club, which also invited Marcus Rosenberg to trial training.

But Marcus Rosenberg's agent Dahlin thought Marcus Rosenberg would not have a chance even if he joined Barcelona, ​​so he rejected the invitation, which prompted Marcus Rosenberger joins the Ajax team.

So Marcus Rosenberg came to Ajax.

After coming to Ajax, Marcus Rosenberg was valued by head coach Danny Blinder and is now one of the team's starters.

At the beginning of the game, Marcus Rosenberg had a very good chance. He received a precise long pass from Sneijder on the side and suddenly picked the ball. After passing Gary Kelly, who was going to grab, he glanced into the penalty area and crossed the ball directly.

An arc ball quickly sent the football into the penalty area of ​​Leeds United.

In the restricted area of ​​Leeds United, the Greek center Charlie Steas, 191cm tall, jumped high and forced Vermaelen to header.

Charles Steas was the main center of the 2004 European Cup champions Greece. He scored three goals in that European Cup and performed well.

At this point, Charles Steas jumped high, like a winged eagle soaring into the sky.

Although the height of the bruised Vermaelen can be made up by bouncing, it is still slightly inadequate in the face of a header killer such as Charles Steas.

With a bang, Charisteas slammed the football hard, and the football rushed towards the goal of Leeds United.

In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng fluttered quickly and his body was as fast as electricity!

With a bang, the football hit the bottom edge of the crossbar in the upper right corner of the goal fiercely, and then slammed into the goal.

Zhong Zheng's body is already very tall, and his response is very fast, but he still hasn't touched the ball. Charisteas's top is really tricky!

One to zero, the Ajax club scored.

Watching Charles Stias's goal, Danny Blinder was both happy and helpless.

To be honest, Charisteas is a good center, but he is not suitable for Ajax's four-three-three formation because Ajax's offense is to advance rapidly, not just for the sidelines. Fast forward, the center of the middle must also follow the pace of his teammates. Obviously, Charisteas does not work. He only has height and a header. His speed and possession of the ball are not his strengths at all, and they do not meet Ajax's standards.

In Danny Blinder's view, Charisteas's most suitable formation is still four or two. He must cooperate with him as a fast forward who can take the ball and the ball.

Obviously, Ajax cannot meet this point. The tradition of Ajax is four, three, and three, and they will not change it for one.

In the mind of Danny Blinder, Charisteas can only be a backup center. When the team cannot open the situation or the traditional way is not feasible, he will send Charisteas to go up and bomb.

In other words, Charisteas is just a stranger for Danny Blind's rich team play. I have to say that Charisteas was wrong when he chose Ajax.

Today, it is ironic that Danny Blinder did not value the goal of Leeds United from Charisteas.

Zhong Cheng watched Charisteas' performance and couldn't stop nodding. This guy is really a domineering header, but the other guy is too bad. This is a typical column center. However, his ability to play under his feet still needs to be improved, but it seems that he has never improved.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng originally had a little interest in Charisteas, but now he has no interest.

After the goal was scored, Ajax's attack surged like a tide, and their wing was very happy. But gradually, their problems were also exposed, that is, Charisteas in the middle could not keep up with the pace of the two sidelines, and often the opportunity had already come out. It was because Charisteas did not follow up and missed Had many good opportunities.

At this time, Leeds United seized the opportunity to fight back.

Ribery received a cross from Modric on the sideline, then made an inward breakthrough and swept the football to the middle. Huntelaar on the middle did not grab a point. But Darren Bent of the second point shoveled the football into the goal. Leeds tied the score one to one.

Darren Bent really performed well and scored goals one after another. It seems that he is going to squeeze Olich onto the bench.

Ajax's right-back Tunisian international Hatem Trabelsi is staring closely at Ribery, with some wonder and confusion in his eyes. How is this guy so young and so strong?

Hatham Trabelsi is not a trivial person, he is very famous. Is the star player on the right back, very young to be selected for the Tunisian national team. After joining Ajax, the performance is also very outstanding, attracting the attention of many giants.

Last year, Hatham Trabelsi also went to the Arsenal team for training, of course, Wenger's evaluation of him is very high. After the trial, Wenger has decided to introduce Hattem Trabelsi, and even the contract is ready.

However, due to personal reasons, Hattem Trabelsi failed to complete the signing with Arsenal, but returned to Ajax to continue playing.

Zhong Cheng does know that this guy has joined the Manchester City Club in the future and has a good performance.

However, today he was played a few times by Ribery, but he also caused a lot of trouble for Ribery, the two of them were fighting each other.

At the 22nd minute of the second half of the game, Leeds suddenly changed its attack direction, and Milner, on the other side, quickly swiped and then passed the football.

Modric, who followed in the middle, shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

The football quickly shot out, and Changhong, like a rattling arrow, shot at the upper right corner of the Ajax goal.

Known as "Vandersa's successor", the tall figure of Malten Steinberger flung out immediately. Unfortunately, but did not meet the football, the football flew into the goal and hit the net fiercely, then rebounded quickly ...
