On December 3, 2005, in the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Leeds United challenged Birmingham away. Leeds United lost a goal first, relying on the goals of Crespo and Pique. One reversed the score and scored three points.
A week later, Leeds United continued their road trip to play against Blackburn.
Zhong Cheng led the team's continuous road trip. Did the players of Leeds United have a physical problem or the sequelae of a super-intensive match with Manchester United? In this game, Leeds United The players were very positive, but in the end Leeds United still lost to the Blackburn team 0-0.
This is the second time that Leeds United have lost to Blackburn this season.
The last loss to Blackburn was in this season's English League Cup. The defending champion was eliminated in the first round and went directly to the round.
After losing in this round of competition, Leeds United are nine points behind Chelsea. This point difference is relatively large. And in terms of Chelsea's status, it is more difficult for Leeds United to exceed Chelsea.
And at this point 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, the main energy of the Leeds United team was put into the final round of the UEFA Cup group stage in the middle of the week. This game is very important for the Leeds United team. Only in a draw.
In this game, Zhong Cheng is still suspended and there is no way to lead the team.
Rogers is still leading this time, but Rogers is very unstable. The fans of Leeds United do n’t know what is going on this time. Will he lead the team to victory, or will he lead the team to defeat?
The fans of Leeds United have a question mark in their hearts!
At this time, Leeds United fans naturally hoped that Rogers would lead the team to victory.
Before leaving, Zhong Cheng said to Rogers: "This game, play well. Now we don't have much pressure, even if we lose, we have a chance to qualify. So you need to relax, Do you know how to lead the team? "
Rogers nodded and said he knew.
In this game, Zhong Cheng still did not follow Leeds United to go away. In this game, he completely gave it to Rogers and let Rogers take full control.
This naturally attracted a lot of criticism. Some Leeds fans think that Zhong Cheng is too irresponsible. How can such an important game be handed to Rogers? Others believe that Zhong Cheng is very good, and he is very dedicated to the training of Rogers and others. He is a very good head coach.
Anyway, at this time, everything is said.
Although, Zhong Cheng made Rogers relax and not be stressed. But Rogers was still under a lot of pressure, and he felt himself almost overwhelmed.
However, Rogers is also confident, he believes in himself.
Not long after the game started, Leeds United took the lead, and the goal was scored by Rogers, a very Crespo. This gave Rogers a sigh of relief, but soon he was flustered 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, Rogers made the team crazy attack, but Leeds United still did not score goals, in the end Leeds United lost this game away.
When losing this game, Rogers' heart was almost out of his throat. And the fans of Leeds United from afar all slammed and sweared at Rogers, and the guy Rogers had a great situation.
Seeing Leeds United eliminated this way, the fans of Leeds United were naturally very angry. Rogers became a scapegoat, cursed wildly by Leeds fans. Even Zhong Cheng was scolded. They thought that Leeds United was eliminated because of Zhong Cheng's irresponsibility and he let the team go to Rogers.
Leeds United fans were swearing at Rogers and Zhong Cheng. But soon they found that they were mistaken. Because Leeds were not eliminated, they were mistaken.
This Tama's is embarrassing!
Leeds United ranked third in the group with a six-point performance and third in the direct group.
Watching Leeds United come out of the line, Rogers was relieved. Fortunately, he did not become a sinner for eternity.
However, at this time, the fans of Leeds United are still madly cursing Rogers. If it were not for this guy, they would not be alarmed.
However, fortunately, the results were not bad. Leeds United did not eliminate, they still have a chance to move on.
After the UEFA Cup group stage, all the top 32 are born. Group A of Monaco, Hamburg and Prague Slavia qualify for promotion, Group B of Palermo, Spaniard and Lokomotiv Moscow qualify for promotion. The Bucharest Distar, Lance and Hertha Berlin teams qualify for the group promotion, the Middlesbrough, Ekmaya and Letex teams of the D group qualify for promotion, and the Strasbourg, Rome and Basel teams of the E group qualify for promotion Promotions: Group F Marseille, Sofialevsky and Leeds United team qualifying, Group G Bucharest Express, Donetsk miners and Stuttgart team qualifying, Group H Sevilla, St. Petersburg Zenit and Bolton team Qualifying.
There are a total of 24 teams here, and eight teams are third in the UEFA Champions League this season. They are Bruges, Thun, Udinese, Lille, Schalke 04. , Rosenborg, Royal Betis, and Artmedia.
This is the top 32 of the UEFA Cup this season, and the draw for the top 32 elimination round is next.
As the head coach of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng naturally went to UEFA headquarters to participate in the lottery ceremony.
Here, Zhong Cheng naturally sees the two guys who are most willing to see, Allardes and McLaren, and before McLaren was still taught by Zhong Cheng, the Bolton team lost very badly.
At this time, when McLaren looked at Zhong Cheng, his eyes were full of resentment.
Zhong Cheng didn't even bother to go to the birds. Zhong Cheng's thoughts were all put in the upcoming lottery.
The result of this draw was this:
Litex vs. Strasbourg, Lokomotiv Moscow vs. Sevilla, Artemia vs. Sofialevsky, Basel vs. Monaco, Hertha Berlin vs. Bucharest Express, Lille vs. Donetsk Miners , Leeds United against Bucharest star, Rosenberg vs. St Petersburg Zenit, Schalke 04 vs. Spaniards, Udinese vs. Lance, Bolton vs. Marseille, Bruges vs. Rome, Real Betis vs. Ekmaya, Thun against Hamburg, Stuttgart against Middlesbrough, and Slavia from Prague against Palermo.
This is the hottest match table, Leeds United's opponent is Bucharest star.
Leeds United and Bucharest are really destined. Before the group stage of the knockout match, Leeds United's opponent was from Bucharest, that opponent called Bucharest Dynamo. Now that the top 32 knockout round is over, Leeds United's opponents are still from Bucharest, calling the Bucharest star.
Leeds United are now fast against Bucharest. In this case, they have played all three Bucharest top three.
The UEFA Cup Elimination Round of 32 will not be played until late February. At this time, Leeds United have no UEFA Cup games.
At this time, the door to the winter transfer will soon open.
Many people now think that Leeds United should add some players at the east window, especially in the front waist position, there is only one Gurkuf, which is not enough.
Fortunately, Olich, Ribery, Alexander Song and others can play this position. In fact, the most important thing is that Modric is about to heal now. Modric is now undergoing recovery training. He will soon be able to return to the court.
After Modric's return to the field, Modric and Gourcuff are already in a bad position at the front. In fact, there is no chance of a match if there is one more person. So, it's useless to introduce a front waist at this time?
Instead, in the position of the lower back, Zhong Cheng felt that it was still necessary to introduce a talented player.
However, there are not many low-back football players in the world today. That is a scarce resource in the world today. All the giants are robbing such players, how can it be possible for Leeds to get away?
This is why Zhong Cheng has been looking for some young and very promising waists.
However, this season's Alexander Song and Diabbi are still too young, so this season the Leeds United have lost so many goals. Alexander Song and Diabbi are still too young, although they have great potential, But it is not yet mature.
In the game, they can have two-eye performance, but there will be problems such as that due to experience, so Zhong Cheng will want to find an experienced back.
Just like the beast waist Davis rented last season, see if you can rent another one this winter?
In fact, at this time Everton's Li Tie was pretty good.
Li Tie is a main rotation player in Everton. In fact, Moyes has high hopes for Li Tie. However, Li Tie does not have much talent in offense and seems to have been injured recently. There is no more post.
This post is exactly the type that Zhong Cheng wants. In the position of the back, Zhong Cheng needs a player who is purely defensive, just like Las Diarra last season.
After Li Tie came, as long as he was in charge of the defense in front of the back line and sweeping the area. The offense can be given to the teammates around him, just defend it.
Moreover, Zhong Cheng also hoped that the main defense defensive back waist does not have any offensive ability, so that he will not forward forward, and has been at ease behind the defense, so that there will be no emptiness in the rear because of the defensive back forward.
Now Li Tie echoed Zhong Cheng's request very much.
The only question now is what happened to Li Tie's injury? Can Li Tie play in the second half of the season? If you can play, Zhong Cheng hopes to rent Li Tie for half a season to try. If Li Tie is doing well, Zhong Cheng signing him is not a problem.
The relationship between Zhong Cheng and Moyes is very good. If Zhong Cheng really wants to introduce Li Tie, which is not in the 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 to ask them about Everton's Li Tie's injury!"
Julia Oliveira paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I see, boss!"
