After unifying the thinking, Zhong Cheng immediately led the team to the away team to face the Middlesbrough team.
Obviously, the focus of Leeds United is in the Champions League.
The UEFA Champions League and this FA Cup match are so close, Zhong Cheng did not lead the main players of Leeds United to the away road, the main players of Leeds United are staying at Leeds to rest and prepare The first leg of the UEFA Champions League playoffs against Real Madrid.
When facing the Middlesbrough FA Cup round, Zhong Cheng sent some young players. The starting list of Leeds United is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Simon Mignole
Four defenders [from left to right]: Danny Rose, Ivanovic, Matz Hummels and Kyle Walker
Single Back Waist: Yaya Touré
Three avant-garde [from left to right]: Eden Hazard, Tony Clos and Hulk
Double forwards: Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani
Yes, the only player in this game is Eddinson Cavani. Zhong Cheng was originally not let by Edinson Cavani, but Edinson Cavani himself asked to play.
After weighing the right and left, Zhong Cheng still allowed Edinson Cavani to play.
Recently, Edinson Cavani has not played many games, and his performance is not very good, so it is actually very good to let Edinson Cavani to look for the state.
In this game, Edinson Cavani's performance was really good. He led the entire Leeds United team. It is the main Edingson Cavani that is the focus of the team of Middlesbrough. He is helping other players of Leeds United to attract a lot of vitality and create more space for teammates.
In the eighteenth minute of the first half, it was Edinson Cavani's sudden change forward that helped Lewandowski tore the defense of the Middlesbrough team and let Lewandov In the air, Tony Cross received a sublime ball from Tony Cross, and then Lewandowski succeeded in a kick and helped Leeds United to take the lead.
However, the Middlesbrough team is not covered, and it has performed very well. In the subsequent games, he scored two goals in a row, and helped the team to surpass the score before the end of the first half.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United worked even harder, besieging the Middlesbrough team frantically. Lewandowski headed the ferry, followed by Tony Cross in the front of the penalty area, pretending to slam his leg and suddenly shot the ball diagonally to the ribs, and Marco Royce slanted it directly The shot succeeded and helped the team equalize the score.
Seeing here, Zhong Cheng is frowning!
To be honest, Zhong Cheng wants to give up the FA Cup game, not to distract Leeds United, and put more attention into the Premier League and the Champions League. On the other hand, he doesn't want to Being eliminated, this is a good place to train newcomers. At the same time, it also needs a championship to bottom. I don't want all four of this season to be empty!
However, Zhong Cheng is also very clear that it is actually very difficult to want the FA Cup champion, not much easier than the league and the Champions League.
So, this clock is a bit tangled.
Many times, this is the case, greed is unstoppable. Many times people just can't control their greed and ruin their lives.
And at this time, the reality was to help Zhong Cheng kill his greed.
Not long after the Leeds United goal, Middlesbrough quickly scored again and exceeded the score again.
Seeing here, Zhong Cheng knew that there was no chance for Leeds United in this game. Moreover, Zhong Cheng didn't want to have any chance, because this game told Zhong Cheng that the FA Cup was a single game, which was very occasional. Even in this game, Leeds United did their best to win After the game, can the Leeds United team make sure that they won the game in every game?
If Leeds United is fully committed to all-round preparation, Zhong Cheng believes they can do it. However, this will take a lot of energy, Leeds United is obviously unable to put all their energy into the FA Cup, and even Zhong Cheng is unwilling to invest more experience into the FA Cup.
Therefore, at this time, Leeds United lost this game is the best choice.
At this time, Zhong Cheng let it go, and did not fight any more. This game depends on the players on the court. What kind of results are achieved depends on them.
These young people on the field naturally did not give up, they are attacking frantically, trying to equalize the score, even overtaking the score. However, the leading Middlesbrough team at this time was retired from all fronts, and the city was united. The young people of Leeds United did not have much to do.
The main reason is that Zhong Cheng did not make any adjustments. This is to let the players of Leeds United know that Zhong Cheng has actually given up in this game.
Later, Zhong Cheng responded, but everyone also saw that this was not a struggle, but a new tactic was being tested. The young players of Leeds United sighed. Their chances were much less. what.
In the end, Leeds United lost to Middlesbrough 2-3 away, eliminated from the FA Cup and missed the next FA Cup game. The young players of Leeds United are very depressed, but the other players of Leeds United are much more relaxed.
Psychological stress is relieved a lot. They don't have to carry too much stuff, naturally they have to relax a lot.
Removed some of the burden, this is very important for Leeds United's main players, they can more easily face the next game.
This is really important for Leeds United!
Now the thing that Leeds players want is to devote themselves to the UEFA Champions League. Leeds United are going away to face the powerful Real Madrid team.
Of course Real Madrid's lineup is very powerful, but Real Madrid's fighting power may not be strong, which is also the opportunity of Leeds United.
This season, things have really happened too much in Real Madrid. Now the situation inside Real Madrid is more complicated than the inside of Leeds United, many times more complicated.
The biggest problem for Real Madrid is that their chairman, Calderon, has gone wrong, and he is now dismissed, and he faces prison terms ranging from six months to three years. Real Madrid has been suffocated by Calderon. Many people in the team are maggots who only take money and do nothing, which makes Real Madrid frustrated.
Although Calderon has now stepped down, there are many more problems left by him.
For example, when he introduced the team's head coach Juan de Ramos, when Calderon was still at the end of last year, he replaced Juan De Ramos with his strong Shus at the beginning of the season. Tell, but Calderon stepped down shortly after the guy took over.
This is very embarrassing for Juande Ramos. He was labeled as Calderón, but he is still in Real Madrid. The Real Madrid lineup has a lot of Calderon's enemies. Now they are It was the muzzle that was shifted to Juan de Ramos, facing Juan de Ramos everywhere.
At this time, it is not easy for them to replace Juan de Ramos, because Florentino Perez will definitely bring a new coach after returning. At this time, replace Juan de Ramos. Finding a transition coach is not cost-effective, and at this time there are not many head coaches willing to accept the mess of Real Madrid and be an over coach.
So, now that Juande Ramos is still the coach of Real Madrid, not because the club's senior officials trust him, but have to keep him and let him over to the end of the season.
Coincidentally, the contract between Juande Ramos and Real Madrid is actually only half a year. After the season ends, he will get out of his own pocket and won't get a penny.
This is naturally the best thing for Real Madrid.
This season, Real Madrid's executives no longer have much hope of Real Madrid, so leaving Juan de Ramos is nothing. This is the best choice at this stage.
Juande Ramos did a good job with Tottenham Hotspur before, but he did not have much amazing results. So this season he was fired from the Tottenham Hotspur team before long, but it seems that Juan de Ramos left Tottenham Hotspur is not easy.
It is said that Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement with their favorite coach, Redknapp, to change coaches. That's why I fired Juande Ramos temporarily. Speaking of which, Juande Ramos himself was very sad.
In addition, the players inside Real Madrid have a big prejudice against Juan de Ramos, and some of the club's stars were very opposed to the admission of Juan de Ramos, because Juan de Ramos Stewart's reputation is too small, even worse than Schuster. Schuster can't make the team better, is Juande Ramos feasible?
Anyway, these superstars of Real Madrid do not believe in Juan de Ramos, and are very disgusted with him. The locker room inside the club is full of factions. After Juande Ramos came to Real Madrid, there was no way to control the locker room. Therefore, the interior of Real Madrid is also very chaotic. In this way, Real Madrid has a lineup from the paper. It looks very strong, in fact, it is not particularly strong, and it is still very easy to deal with.
Therefore, now seeing Leeds United's opponent is Real Madrid, Zhong Cheng is not nervous at all, because their opponents are actually full of problems, the chances of Leeds United are great.
Of course, Zhong Cheng will still be very serious. He wants to set an example for Leeds United players. In this game, Leeds United must not be taken lightly. Leeds United cannot make any mistakes, Leeds United must win this game.
Yes, Zhong Cheng is letting the players of Leeds United go all out and there must be no problems.
The players of Leeds United are also very serious about this game. Their goal is the Champions League champions. Even if they play against Real Madrid, they will not be timid. For the championship, they can die with any opponent, die to the end.
Now Zhong Cheng has just returned to Leeds. He led the main players of Leeds United to the airport and flew directly to Madrid, Spain, where he was preparing to play against Real Madrid.
The players of Leeds United were very serious sitting on the plane. They knew that the war was imminent, all of them had no joke, they were seriously doing rest, and they were preparing to face the Real Madrid team. .
The players of Leeds United firmly believe that Leeds United will win!
