The lightning flashed and thundered, as if someone was robbing in London!
The pouring rain is like the fairies in the sprinkler festival, and the water is pouring down continuously, washing the dirty city.
Such bad weather caused a lot of business loss in the night market in London yesterday. People stayed at home and were unwilling to go out. Yesterday, Londoners spent almost a day at home.
It's too hot during the day, and lightning and thunder at night increase the rain!
No wonder it was so hot during the day yesterday. It turned out to be the rain at night!
However, after yesterday's heavy rain, today's weather was very good, and countless people walked out of the room to experience the rare good weather and good air.
And today, it is also a very good weather for playing football!
It is now evening, the sun has set, and the air is breeze blowing, which is really refreshing!
The Stamford Bridge stadium is now occupied by people. Chelsea fans in blue jerseys are everywhere. They are waving the team's flag and singing the Chelsea team song with excitement. The evening game is warm!
The scene was full of people, and it was huge, and the game was about to start soon.

Media reporters from all over the world have flocked here, as if it is not going to be an ordinary Premier League, but a World Cup final!

Today, naturally, there are a lot of Leeds fans coming to the scene. They are wearing the team's white jerseys and are waiting at the scene to start the game. This group is really crowded, occupying one side of the stand, and many of them appear on the square outside the stadium.
The local security personnel and police in London attach great importance, and many security personnel have been transferred from other places for security protection.
Moreover, some officials from the FA also came to the scene. The match between Leeds United and Chelsea is very hot, and there can be no more problems, otherwise their football in England will be laughed to death.
The atmosphere at the scene was already very hot, but the players on both sides were listening to the coach's final deployment in the locker room!
━━━Split line ━━━
In the locker room of the home team Chelsea, Mourinho stood in the forefront.
Mourinho is wearing a slightly trench coat-like coat today, looking cool, just like the Terminator.
Mourinho is very capable, and his eyes are fixed on the tactical board.
On his tactical board, he wrote a few names, and also drew a lot of lines, and some text notes. Obviously, Mourinho's explanation has begun for some time.
Mourinho said: "Still that way, the Leeds' tactics are the same as ours, they are all defensive counterattacks. Their counterattack is often to find the two fast lane horses directly through the diagonal long pass in the backcourt, unlike We fight back with a quick pass and tear after the steal! "
The Chelsea players nodded one after another, expressing understanding.
Before, they also played against Leeds United, and they also watched a lot of Leeds United's game videos. Their counterattacks are almost the same. Using the personal capabilities of the two wing players, especially Ribery, to Fight back.
Mourinho said: "So, Ribery is the key. As long as Ribery is stared at, Leeds' counterattack threat is reduced by at least half, understand?"
Chelsea players nodded, expressing understanding.
Mourinho also said: "Furthermore, Leeds United's front waist must also pay attention to, whether it is Modric or Gourcuff, these two are also a starting point for Leeds United's counterattack A breakthrough can also pass very fine goals. If they can't kill them, Leeds United will still be very dangerous! "
Chelsea players nodded again, the head coach was right!
Chelsea people know that the most threatening team in Leeds United is Ribery, the brain of Leeds United is Modric or Gourcuff, and the termination of Leeds United is Huntelaar. .
This set of tactics of Leeds United has already formed a system, each of which can perform well.
What's more, Leeds United's defense now has a level of improvement. Zhong Cheng also upgraded their defensive tactics.
Obviously, when defending, the overall shape of Leeds United is very complete and rigorous, and the gap between them is very small. When defending, almost the defender and the midfield are pushed to their own defense zone 30 meters. region.
Sometimes even two wingers can give up, that is, tortured in the range of the restricted area and so on. Such an intensive defense can be described as a devil for any team.
And the players of Leeds United are also very good at defense, both in overall defense and individual single defense. Faced with such a team, it is more difficult to score goals.
However, Mourinho has a way, because he has an attacking and destructive center like Drogba in his formation. Drogba can be a cudgel of the Leeds United defence, disrupting the Leeds United defence and creating opportunities for other teammates behind him.
Mourinho said: "In this game, we need to make some changes. In this game, we will dominate the offense, let Didier attack the Leeds United's defense, and then others will swim around Didier Looking for a second and second offense, you know? "
Although this tactic is simple, it should be effective.
Breaking intensive defense, a center like Drogba is very important, his impact is too strong, the average center defender really can not withstand his impact.
In future generations, did Drogba directly torment the genius star defender Senderos?
Chelsea players nodded and said, "I see, boss!"
Mourinho also said: "When attacking, the people on the line of defense must stare at the people, and kill their counterattack in the bud, know?"
Chelsea players shouted immediately: "I see!"
Seeking change, Jose Mourinho is asking for change!
Mourinho's eyes flashed and he said, "Crazy Loya, don't you think?"
━━━Split line ━━━
In the dressing room of the visiting team Leeds United, Zhong Cheng sat in front of the tactical board.
The tactical board behind Zhong Cheng is written with the names of today's Leeds starting players, arranged according to the formation. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that this is not just as simple as the name of the starting list, it even has a special position.
Yes, these people shrink tighter, looking like a board, running across Leeds' goal, in the penalty area.
This formation looks 4-4-2. The midfield and the defender line stand in parallel. From the sky, it looks like a complete rectangle, which covers the entire restricted area.
This is Zhong Cheng's request today!
Zhong Cheng said, "I need you to do this when defending, keep the two lines relatively complete, keep a good distance from your teammates, and keep the linkage when defending. Keep the formation complete at any time. ? "
Such requirements are relatively high, requiring each player to concentrate and have better physical fitness!
More importantly, Zhong Cheng also asked Leeds United's players to maintain high pressure and fierceness, so that their defense is more tough.
Leeds United players nodded!
They have used this tactic several times before, and they all perform well. This is an upgraded version of the previous tactics. However, now they are not perfect.
Therefore, the players of Leeds United are still very serious.
Zhong Cheng said: "In this game, our defense will definitely have a very large impact. Perhaps from the beginning of the game, Chelsea center Drogba will attack us in a crazy way. He is an impact Destructive center, you must stand against the back line, and can't you know? "
Leeds United's defensive players nodded, saying they knew it!
Zhong Cheng also said: "Pay attention to Drogba's surroundings at all times, because Drogba is obviously just an attacking door striker. The real killing trick must be ambush beside him!"
Zhong Cheng has also done a lot of research on the Chelsea team recently. Chelsea did so in many times of attack, that is, using Drogba to charge.
The English Premier League teams are not fools. They all know that Chelsea has a strong defensive counterattack, and they will naturally not rush offensively. And the Chelsea team is so good, it is also very good to be able to score a point here at Chelsea.
So why are they going to storm Chelsea?
Therefore, many people, the Chelsea team also need to attack, Zhong Cheng just saw the Chelsea's means of attack.
After Zhong Cheng's reminder, the players of Leeds United nodded and said they knew.
Zhong Cheng also said: "Mourinho is a very cunning guy. Obviously he will study our tactics and play. Therefore, Frank and James will definitely be closely guarded in this game, even Luca will also be closely guarded, so when fighting back, we should be bolder and can directly find Hernan on the front! "
Yes, Zhong Cheng wants the counterattack of this game to be more direct and simple.
It was the big foot that went directly to Crespo on the front line and let him control the first point. If there was a chance, he would directly attack Chelsea fans. If there is no chance, wait for Ribery to plug in their back, so that they can form a combined fist, causing some invisible trouble for Chelsea's defenders.
Leeds United's backcourt players and Crespo and others nodded, saying they knew.
At this time, Zhong Cheng looked at the time and saw that the time was almost up. He immediately stood up and said to the players of Leeds United: "This game is very important for us. We can only win, we cannot Failure. As far as morale is concerned, I won't say it anymore. After all, after our Leeds United win this season, I will give 8 million pounds as a championship reward, I hope you work hard! "
