...
The media in England are reporting this one after another. Obviously, the media in England are not optimistic about Leeds United, because the group of Leeds United is really too strong, which is considered a death group.
CSKA Moscow, Marseille and Heerenveen in this group are all very strong. They have greater hope of promotion. Among the odds offered by a European bookmaker, Leeds United is also relatively backward. .
Obviously, everyone is more optimistic about the other three teams!
The English media also analyzed that the three teams in the Premier League, of which Middlesbrough's group is too easy, that group has no strong rivals at all, and Middlesbrough can be said to stand tall.
Although Middlesbrough have not performed well in the Premier League this season, their strength lies there, especially the two-member awards Hasselbaink and Viduka on the front line.
Therefore, in the eyes of the English media, Middlesbrough's promotion is inevitable.
Middlesbrough coach Sam Allardes explained the interviews with media reporters after the draw, saying: "Obviously, our group is really easy, which is not a big deal for us. As long as there are no surprises, we will definitely advance to the next round of competition. "
Allendes was very confident, and even a little arrogant, with no one in his eyes.
At this time, a reporter suddenly asked: "What do you think of the prospects of Bolton and Leeds?"
Allendez frowned slightly, then said: "Bolton's group looks very strong, but Bolton's strength is still strong, there should be no problem in their promotion. As for Liz United ... haha!"
Media reporters are all stunned. What's wrong with Leeds United, you say? Why are you huh? What does hehe mean?
Following the questioning of media reporters, Allardes reluctantly said, "Does Leeds still need to say? It is already their luck that they can go to the present, and there is still a prospect? Ha ha! They still think about how to relegate, The UEFA Cup is not their place! "
Allardes was aroused the madness of Leeds fans and made them very angry. However, it has been recognized by many people. Many media reporters think Allardes is right. Leeds United has been relying on luck by now. Why, they still want to go by luck?
Many famous names in English football also support Allardes's statement, claiming that Allardes has spoken very well, Leeds United has completed its task, and the next step is to go home.
These famous places also supported Allardes. All of England was not optimistic about Leeds United for a moment, they all thought that Leeds United was finished.
When Zhong Cheng got the news, his eyes were cold and sneer: "Allardes? Take care of yourself first, garbage!"
Zhong Cheng remembered Allardes and was about to give him a critical strike!
━━━Split line ━━━
Many media reporters came to interview Zhong Cheng, but Zhong Cheng ignored it.
After returning to England, Zhong Cheng directly invested in the league. In the last round of competition, they just got rid of the embarrassment of losing streak. Now they need victory to accumulate confidence. Zhong Cheng attaches great importance to this game.
Now a lot of media are watching this game, they are staring at Leeds United.
Many people think that Leeds United's victory in the last round was luck, and it will not change their destiny. Now many people are cheering on the Sunderland team.
Sunderland and Leeds United are also promoted. Last season, Sunderland ranked second in the Champions League and performed well. However, this season the Sunderland team's performance is very bad. So far their record is one win, one draw and five losses. The points and quarters are second to last in the league, which is very embarrassing.
Now Mick McCarthy's situation is very embarrassing. It is said that the senior management of Sunderland is very dissatisfied with him. It is said that he is now preparing to fire Mick McCarthy for a new coach.
Now, it is rumored that former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane will replace Mick McCarthy's position and become the manager of Sunderland.
There is also rumor that Mick McCarthy has a few more chances to play. But in these rounds, Mick McCarthy must lead the Sunderland team to get more points.
This match with Leeds United was very important. Mick McCarthy said before the game: "I said that Loya's relationship is good, but we will go all out in this game, we must win this a match."
This game is too important for Mick McCarthy, he naturally hopes to get three points.
On the side of Zhong Cheng, he also said before the game: "I know Mick's situation. I don't think that the mix of the Sunderland team is completely Mick's. In fact, there is a reason for the Sunderland club. This season, they basically There was no transfer fee for Mick. How did you get him to play in the Premier League? "
Zhong Cheng also said: "The Premier League is different from the English Premier League. Sunderland's lineup last season was really not good in the Premier League. Mick has no big problems and the responsibility lies with the senior Sunderland. As for this game, we Leeds The United team naturally will not give up, we will go all out! "
Leeds United was the best performing team among the three promoted horses last season, but at this time they were still under attack by many media reporters, which shows that Leeds is not popular.
This game is an away game. The atmosphere of Sunderland's home is very good. The scene is full of people. Although the team's performance is not very good now, they are still cheering for the team, hoping that team can win a victory at home.
Now the Sunderland team really needs love to win, and the Sunderland team is fully attacking.
However, in the fifteenth minute of the first half of the game, Huntelaar, who has recently recovered, received a cross from Ribery in the penalty area. The header was scored directly in the middle of the penalty area. Leeds United scored zero. Lead.
Mick McCarthy shook his head constantly on the sidelines. He could see that the gap between Sunderland and Leeds United was getting wider. No wonder Leeds United could mix so well here.
Just when Mick McCarthy was stunned, Leeds United's Gourcuff broke the goal of Sunderland again with a wonderful direct free kick, two to zero.
In the first half, Leeds United easily led Sunderland with a 2-0 score.
The second half of the game just started, and the Sunderland striker made a leak in the penalty area to recover a goal, so that the fans of Sunderland saw hope to equalize. Sunderland fans cheered with excitement immediately, cheering on the team.
However, in the 26th minute of the second half, Leeds United's centre-back Pique took a corner kick from Gourcuff in the penalty area and succeeded with a header and a goal, which widened the score to three to one.
This one goal is also the last goal of the game. Leeds United defeated Sunderland in the embarrassing situation 3-1 away.
After the game, Zhong Cheng immediately walked towards Mick McCarthy and stretched out his right hand towards Mick McCarthy: "I'm so sorry, Mick! I'm giving you trouble!"
Mick McCarthy held Zhong Cheng's right hand and shook his head slightly. "It's no trouble. My situation is like that!"
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Really?
Mick McCarthy sighed and said, "The executives are indeed very dissatisfied with me. Although I haven't talked to me yet, I know they are looking for my successor!"
When hearing this, Zhong Cheng sighed and nodded!
Zhong Cheng said, "It's not easy, it's not easy! Don't be discouraged, you still have time and opportunities!"
Mick McCarthy said with a smile: "I'm fine, congratulations on your victory! Hurry up and celebrate with your players, I still have something to do, I have to go first!"
Zhong Cheng nodded, then said, "Okay, go ahead and go! Come on!"
Mick McCarthy also smiled and said, "Come on!"
After saying this, Mick McCarthy turned and left. Looking at the back of Mick McCarthy turning away, Zhong Cheng's heart was full of helplessness and sympathy.
Think of the match against Mick McCarthy in the game last season. At that time, Mick McCarthy was really a very talented person. The team he led was very powerful, and he was always following closely, even at the last moment. It surpassed Ipswich and Wigan Athletic in a row and won the second athletics in the league.
To be honest, in the last stage of the Champions League last season, the Sunderland team was really too stable, which put a lot of pressure on him.
Mick McCarthy is really a very talented head coach. Unfortunately, the Sunderland team has not given him enough support this season, and Mick McCarthy has to suffer the fate of being fired.
This is the disadvantage of the head coach. Sometimes it is not that your coaching level is not good, but it is because there are many and many reasons that limit your performance and limit your strength. Then all the responsibility for the poor performance of the team must be your Come piggyback.
The head coach is always the kind of person who is not easy to pay attention to, but always comes out of the pan!
The head coach is the potboy!
Fortunately, I don't have to do everything on the team like Mick McCarthy. This is Zhong Cheng's biggest advantage over other head coaches.
At the end of the eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea are still advancing, with eight consecutive winning points and 24 points top the list. The second-place Charlton team finally lost again, but their points are still 18 points, ranking second in the league.
Ranked third is the Red Devils Manchester United, their points reached 17 points. Fifteen points from the Belize United team was two points higher. Leeds United is now ranked fourth and has reached the Champions League qualification zone.
After the end of this game, many people were taken aback. The Leeds United team really stayed together. Why did they keep winning and why?
The performance of Leeds United is to let many English media realize that Leeds United is not easy to hack, and now many media are gradually changing their tone.
