At the beginning of the game, Leeds United were mainly onslaught.
Yes, Di Matteo has made very big adjustments in this game, tactically!
Seeing the opponent is Birmingham, a promotion horse from the Premier League. Therefore, Di Matteo expected that the opponent would definitely defend and counterattack, so Di Matteo took the initiative to attack.
To be honest, Di Matteo really didn't look at Birmingham.
The strength of the Birmingham team is very weak, they are still at the level of the English Premier League, coming to the Premier League is simply travel, and will return to the English Premier League after a season.
To be honest, Di Matteo didn't look at Birmingham.
But for this game, Di Matteo is still very serious. He hopes that the players of Leeds United can also take it seriously, take this game seriously, strive to score goals as soon as possible, and give them the pressure on them. Remove it.
Yes, at this time, the pressure on Leeds is very high.
The two rounds are unbeatable, which is not a good thing for the defending champion Leeds United. The outside world has a lot of comments on Leeds United, and the pressure on Leeds is naturally very great.
To be honest, Di Matteo himself felt tremendous pressure.
No way, who told him he didn't lead the good Leeds United team? Now there are quite a few people who criticize the satire and dig at Di Matteo. There are even many media that list Di Matteo's previous coaching of Leeds United's results, but they have not won!
Di Matteo was really beaten, and beaten hard!
So now Di Matteo continues to prove himself!
At this time, the game had begun, and Leeds United launched a fierce attack, besieging the Birmingham team. The Birmingham team really has a sense of self-knowledge, and it really adopted a defensive counterattack tactic.
Seeing this, Di Matteo nodded and had confidence in this game.
The players of Leeds United were madly onslaught when they came up, and all of them were pressed, and they were about to push the line past halftime. The players of the Birmingham team stayed to the end, it seemed that they did not even mean to counterattack, they just came for a point.
Di Matteo was very easy to stand on the sidelines, but he knew very well about the defensive counterattack. The Birminghams playing this in front of him was like playing a sword in front of the public!
With a smile on Di Matteo's face, the Leeds United team won this game!
In the fifth minute of the first half of the game, Zhong Cheng's Luka Modric suddenly made a diagonal pass and sent the football to the foot of Joaquin, who was inserted in front of the side. Up the Birmingham defensive player, and then directly kicked the cross.
Luca Tony in the middle of the penalty area jumped his head high and hit the goal, but unfortunately the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.
This is the knockout of Leeds United, which also opened the Leeds United's bombardment mode.
Looking at the rhythm of the game, Yang Jiacheng's face is also a bit unsightly!
Yang Jiacheng naturally saw that there was a very, very big gap between their Birmingham club and Leeds United. They want Birmingham to be like Leeds United, they must also improve in all directions and fully promote.
Obviously, the Birmingham team has a long way to go!
The game continued, Leeds United arranged all the offenses and besieged the Birmingham team, which was just a half-court offensive and defensive exercise. But the defense of the Birminghams was very good. At the end of the first half, they did not concede the ball.
Zhong Cheng's brow frowned slightly. The players of Leeds United were still out of shape. In this way, it is more difficult for Leeds United to win this game. However, it seems that Di Matteo did not find this problem. It seems that the onslaught and almost goals in the first half of the game have forced Di Matteo's eyes.
The second half of the game started immediately, Leeds United still played in accordance with the pattern of the first half. Di Matteo has not changed at all, and Zhong Cheng knew that the game was a little overdone.
However, in the second half of the game, Leeds United still took absolute initiative and besieged the Birmingham team. Every offense is very threatening. The fans of the Birmingham team can't even breathe, and Yang Jiacheng is extremely nervous.
However, Zhong Cheng saw a bad sign!
Sure enough, at the 72nd minute of the second half of the game, the Birmingham team suddenly intercepted the ball in the midfield, and a simple straight ball directly penetrated the Leeds United defence. The Birmingham striker went to the meeting with a single shot, Leeds United's defense line was too close, and the opponent was underestimated.
This time, Leeds United suffered a loss. The opponent seized a chance to fight back and scored.
One to zero, Birmingham led Leeds United in their own home!
Di Matteo was aggressive when he saw the ball. He couldn't believe the facts in front of him. His eyes were wide and incredible.
In the end, Leeds United lost 0-0 away to Birmingham and ushered in a three-game losing streak in the Premier League in the new season!
━━━Split line ━━━
With three consecutive defeats, Leeds United is the worst start in a few seasons.
The Premier League has lost three straight games since the start!
This result is blinding to everyone. I think this is not true. This is definitely a problem. This is false. How can Leeds United lose three straight games?
Now there are only two teams in the Premier League with three losing streaks, one is Leeds United and the other is Bolton. These two teams can be described as difficult brothers, but Bolton's performance is slightly better than Leeds United's goal difference, so they have a goal difference, so they rank second to last, and Leeds United's bottom.
This season the Premier League has become what it is now, which is not expected by many people.
Of course, this season's Premier League league is not the only one Leeds.
Now that the three rounds have passed, it is not Manchester United or Chelsea that ranks first in the league, not Arsenal Liverpool, not Sheffield Wednesday, but Manchester City.
Manchester City have won three consecutive games in the first three rounds and top the list with nine points!
The second and third are Liverpool and Chelsea. They are two wins, one draw and seven points. The fourth place is Sheffield Wednesday. They have six points.
Arsenal ranked eighth, one win, two draws and five points!
The situation of Manchester United and Leeds United is similar, but they are a lot better than Leeds United. They are ranked 17th, with two draws and one loss, and two points.
Leeds United is really tough against Manchester United!
This season's Premier League is really beyond everyone's expectations. I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. This is something many people didn't expect.
It seems that the Premier League this season is going to change dramatically.
Of course, many people claim that the Premier League has just begun, and the traditional giants and strong teams have not entered the state, but after giving them a period of time, these teams will soon be able to find the status and then come up.
However, media reporters have claimed that the relegation of Manchester United and Leeds is indeed unlikely, but the possibility that they want to catch up with Liverpool and Chelsea in front is very small. The Premier League champions this season should be in Liverpool There was a match between the team and Chelsea.
Media reporters are reporting this way now. They have very strong confidence in Liverpool and Chelsea.
Especially for Liverpool, this season they have spent a lot of money and introduced a lot of talented players. Liverpool team is going to the Premier League title.
The current situation is also very good for Liverpool. They are still a big step away from their goals. As long as they do not have problems themselves, Liverpool may really win the Premier League title.
At this time, the Liverpool fans are naturally very happy and excited, they are all too happy to stop.
At this time, everyone ushered in the fourth round of the Premier League in the 2007-2008 season. In this round, Leeds United's opponents were their rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday have very deep grudges. Sheffield Wednesday ’s chairman Kramer and Leeds United ’s chairman Zhong Cheng have deep personal grievances, even the information in it It was dug up by the Sun.
The Sun claims that Kramer and Zhong Cheng have hatred for wives!
The three-page tabloid such as "The Sun" is best at digging and reporting on these things. They have figured out the whole story. "The Sun" claims that Kramer came into football for the sake of a woman who wanted to destroy Zhong Cheng!
These reports reported by the "Sun" have caused a lot of people's attention and narration. This is almost the plot in the TV series. The two turned out to be jealous. Cramer was even more able to buy a club to mad Zhongcheng for this.
This cost is really too big, we do not understand the life of the local tyrants.
Moreover, after Kramer joined Sheffield on Wednesday, he repeatedly dug into the corner of Leeds United, so that the grievances between the two teams are getting deeper and deeper. In addition, Sheffield and Leeds United are also Yorkshire on Wednesday, and they are the rivals of Derby.
The grudge between the two teams is even more intense!
Now when these two teams meet together, naturally they will attract the attention of a lot of people, both of which should attract the attention of the media. They are all crazy about reporting this game to attract more attention!
This game was played at Elland Road Stadium, home of Leeds United, but Zhong Cheng was still only able to sit in the stands and watch the game. thing.
However, this is also Zhong Cheng's last ban. After this game, Zhong Cheng lifted the ban and was able to lead Leeds United himself.
When Cramer came to the scene during this game, Zhong Cheng ignored the guy, and came to see and be upset.
In this game, Di Matteo has never done Van Gaal!
Van Gaal built the current Sheffield Wednesday team into a very strong team. Last season they ranked fifth in the Premier League and now rank fourth in the Premier League. They are very strong.
Di Matteo did not get any good in front of Van Gaal. In this game, Huntelaar scored twice to kill the old owner. Cramer was very happy, but unfortunately he didn't see Zhong Cheng, which made him very depressed. This is the only flaw!
