Danny Blinder and Tenkat remain at Leeds United.
The Leeds United team and Tenkat's Ajax played another hot match. Last year, the two teams had a warm-up match, but at that time, Ajax's head coach was not Tenkat, but Dan Brindel.
During this warm-up match, Danny Blinder also sat on the sidelines to watch.
Zhong Cheng's lineup looks like this:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Four defenders [from left to right]: Evra, Vermaelen, Ivanovic and Sarnia
Single back: Mascherano
Three avant-garde [from left to right]: Ribery, Modric and Joaquin
Double forwards: Luca Tony and Tevez
This lineup is the main lineup of Leeds United in the new season. Of course, there may be one or two places that need to be fine-tuned. There will be many matches in the Leeds United in the new season, so other players have opportunities, and their chances of appearance will not be. less.
In this game, Zhong Cheng focused on examining Tevez!
Tevez did not perform well after renting it, and he has not scored yet. This is somewhat unexpected. Did Tevez really feel homesick?
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United took the initiative and overwhelmed the first half.
The two wings flew together. Zhong Cheng directly changed the tactics. From defensive counterattack to high position grabbing, he began to push on opponents in the frontcourt, very positive.
In this case, the Ajax team has a difficult time in the first half. Their number of halftimes is very low. Tenkat on the sideline was very shocked. He did not expect that the game would look like this. Ajax Is it too bad?
Tenkat believes that Barcelona will be able to pour out the football with three or two kicks and pass quickly through the half. However, Ajax was difficult. Ajax used two sideways raids to drive straight in. However, these two wingers were restricted. As soon as they got the ball, at least three people came directly from different directions and they were very fast.
More importantly, these people have a reasonable running position and cut off the line where the player passes the ball forward or diagonally. He only has the option to pass back. So, the Ajax team is having a hard time passing halftime.
Tenkat was shocked. He didn't expect Leeds United to be so different from the previous tactics. This was amazing. Ajax would be more dangerous if he kicked this way.
Ajax is not an Italian team. Their tactics are generally against, no matter who the opponent is? Even if they want to defend, the defense is poor. Because they usually have n’t trained much, and their defensive tactics are not complicated, if they choose to defend and counterattack, it will be difficult.
However, at this time Tencate chose to let the team back and defend.
Yes, this is the new thing Tencate added to Ajax this season. He still has some confidence in Ajax's offense, but his defense is a bit poor. Therefore, after Tenkat came to Ajax, the first thing was to strengthen the defense.
Tenkat knew that as long as they could hold on now, the chance of Ajax in the second half came.
Leeds United's playing like this is obviously very energy-consuming. If they continue to play like this, the Leeds United team will definitely be finished in the second half, or even blew up.
Tenkat signaled his players to strengthen their defense and keep their goals intact. Also check the results of the Ajax training during this time.
The Ajax defense is really good, at least a lot better than last year.
Danny Blinder on the sidelines was also shocked to see here. It was not long before Tenkat accepted the team. Ajax had such a big change. It seems that Tenkat really has some strength.
At this time, the Leeds United team launched an offense on the court. The ball was intercepted in the frontcourt. Modric directly slanted the football to the foot of the sideline Joaquin. Joaquin glanced into the penalty area and suddenly stomped his legs pretending to make a cross. The patrol pushed the football forward, and one of them accelerated away from the bottom of the defensive player.
After the bottom, Joaquin directly passed the ball to the penalty area in the penalty area.
Luka Tony, who had been rushing forward, seemed to be in a good mood with Joaquin. When Joaquin passed the ball, he stepped back two steps and instantly opened the distance with the Ajax defenders. And Ajax's central defenders were rushing towards the goal. Luca Tony suddenly stopped and retreated. They were very passive and the brakes were too late.
Ajax's center-back hadn't turned around and rushed forward. Luca Tony near the penalty spot jumped up high and a header kicked the football directly into the upper right corner of the goal. Ajax's goalkeeper responded quickly, but the ball was faster and the football flew into Ajax's goal without a doubt.
Zhong Cheng stood up and applauded constantly. The ball matched well.
Di Matteo immediately came to Zhong Cheng and said: "The two guys really have a good understanding. We don't have to worry about this new season."
Zhong Cheng also nodded, and then said: "It depends on whether they can be integrated into our Leeds United system. If they are integrated, then we will be great this season!"
Di Matteo also looked intently into the stadium, his heart was facing, these two must be integrated into the team, must be!
Tencate's brows frowned, and the combination of Luca Tony and Joaquin did give him a surprise. Facing the intensive defense of Ajax, these two guys have performed very well, and they are powerful.
At this time, Tenkat waved a big hand, signaled that Ajax's players attacked and confronted Leeds United.
The Ajax rushed out, but their number of midfield attempts was still limited, and the Leeds frontcourt was really too fierce. But as long as he passed halftime, Ajax's offensive threat was very large, but the Ajax did not cause trouble for Leeds United.
Fortunately, Leeds United's back line has performed very well and the defense has stopped.
Moreover, Leeds United's goalkeeper Zhong Zheng performed very well, two consecutive priests, and gave Ajax a good opportunity to fear out of destruction.
At the end of the half-time, Leeds United was leading by one.
The second half of the game has just begun and Leeds United have scored again. It was still Luca Tony who scored, but this time the assist was not Joaquin but Ribery. Ribery did not send a high ball, but a low ball.
Luca Tony doesn't stop at his head. He works under his feet.
Face this pass. Luca Tony turned straight and fired, sweeping the football towards the back post. Ajax's goalkeeper failed to respond and watched the football smash into the goal post and bounce into the goal.
Two to zero, the beginning of the second half of the game, Leeds United led by two zero.
Tenkat couldn't help shaking his head. He could see this game. There was a gap between Ajax and Leeds. No wonder they can win the UEFA Cup.
Of course, Tenkat will not admit defeat.
Tenkat signaled that Ajax's players immediately attacked, attacked fiercely, tried to score goals, and even equalized the overtake.
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, Tevez's performance was very unsatisfactory, this game was invisible many times. And when it was time for him to grab, he always made a few slow shots and seemed very lazy. It is because of this that Ajax has had so many opportunities to threaten Leeds' goal.
The game kicked for 65 minutes. Zhong Cheng couldn't help it anymore. He directly replaced Tevez with Darren Bent.
Darren Bent wanted Bitvis to perform better, and he ran to make Bitvis more active. But this guy also has some problems. He is more willing to participate in the offense. His characteristic is speed. He is always ambushing in the Ajax defense line. He is mad to signal the Leeds United team between the offside and the offside position Players pass behind.
More pass, always pass.
Although there may be a lot of offsides, as long as one or two are caught, Leeds United will win steadily.
Looking at Darren Bent's performance, Zhong Cheng knew that this guy was more suitable for defensive counterattack. It seems that this position should be more suitable for Olich or Cavani, especially Cavani.
Darren Bent did a good job on the court and had several shots. However, Ajax's offense is also very good, threatening Leeds United's goals many times.
Zhong Cheng's brow was tightly frowned, which gave Ajax too many opportunities.
Zhong Cheng felt that at this time he still had to make a substitution. Zhong Cheng directly replaced Darren Bent with Eddinson Cavani and asked Eddinson Cavani to partner with Luca Tony.
Darren Bent was a little dazed when he was off the field. He was replaced in the second half of the game. He didn't play long before he was replaced. What's going on? Is the boss dissatisfied with himself?
Darren Bent stepped out in doubt, his eyes fixed on Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng immediately waved to Darren Bent and motioned for Darren Bent to come over. Darren Bent ran to Zhong Cheng immediately, staring at Zhong Cheng tightly.
Zhong Cheng patted Darren Bent on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, you're doing well. Also, when you come down, you just want to see what the situation between Edison and Luca is. The new season is about to start. We are running out of time. I want to try more risky combinations. There are too many games in the new season. I hope you can understand! "
Hearing Zhong Cheng say this, Darren Bent understood.
In fact, even if he didn't understand, he had to pretend to understand at this time, otherwise her Leeds career would be over. Darren Bent is not a fool, he won't fight against Zhong Cheng.
Of course, there must be something uncomfortable in his mind.
However, Zhong Cheng's explanation still satisfied him, so he did not express any dissatisfaction. And Darren Bent is very confident in himself, he firmly believes that he is not worse than anyone, he will definitely be the main force in the new season, and he will form a high and fast combination with Luca Tony.
Darren Bent came to the end and sat on the bench, staring closely at Edinson Cavani in the stadium. He wanted to see what this guy really deserves from his boss. Chance.
Darren Bent's gaze has been on Edison Cavani, and soon he knew why Zhong Cheng gave Cavani a chance. Because Cavani, like Olich, is active in the frontcourt, hesitates physical strength, and is madly grabbing.
Darren Bent knew this was the effect Zhong Cheng wanted, and sure enough, the Ajax team had a lot of offensive opportunities. However, Leeds United's offensive opportunities have also been reduced, and even less threatened to penetrate the opponent's heart.
Darren Bent nodded immediately, Cavani had his strengths, and he also had his advantages. According to Darren Bent, he is more likely to become the team's main force in the new season. As for Tevez, this guy still forgets, he has a lot of opportunities to play in these warm-up games, but the performance is mediocre, and even a bit lazy, Zhong Cheng obviously will not give him a start.
And at this time, Edison Cavani was aggressively and fiercely on the pitch, cutting off the football under the feet of Ajax players. Cavani passed the ball directly into the ribs of the Ajax penalty area. Ribery, who rushed up, suddenly made a horizontal slam, then kicked it, kicking the football directly into the far corner.
The goalkeeper of the Ajax team encountered football, but the football still flew into the goal of Ajax.
Three to zero, Leeds United is leading three to zero.
However, at the end of the game, Ajax got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Ajax made a beautiful arc and directly broke the goal guarded by Zhong Zheng, one to three.
This game, Ajax won three to one.
