On May 24, 2009, at seven o'clock in the evening, Leeds Crown Stadium was packed with people!
What will be held here today is the final game of this Premier League season, Leeds United vs. Middlesbrough at home. Middlesbrough have struggled this season and are now on the verge of relegation.
This team actually performed well last season. In the last round against Manchester City, Middlesbrough defeated Manchester City 8-1 at their home court. However, now they are indeed going to be relegated.
Of course, the Middlesbrough people are definitely not happy to be relegated, they want to fight hard.
The people of Middlesbrough also hope that they can stage a stunning battle in the last round of the game like last season. For victory and relegation, long live the Middlesbrough team.
Of course, Zhong Cheng's side will definitely not give up.
This game is related to whether Leeds United can secure fourth place in the Premier League this season. Therefore, how could Zhong Cheng give up on this game?
The Arsenal team is still watching behind them, and they must not give up on this game!
In the last round of the Premier League, all games are played at the same time, so there are now ten games that kick off at the same time.
Now, no one has the time to care about other opponents' games. Their current goal is to win this game, they must!
In this game, Zhong Cheng ranked among all the main players that can be ranked now. This is a crucial battle.
For this game, Leeds United’s starting lineup is as follows:
Home team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Back four [from left to right]: Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Lichtsteiner
Double defensive midfielder: Stephen Mbia and Yaya Toure
Midfield three [from left to right]: Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos and Cristiano Ronaldo
Lone forward: Diego Milito
This is the starting list of Leeds United today, and there are big changes. Patrick Evra at the back was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and was not included in the squad today. Center back Kompany missed this game due to a minor injury and will start in Leeds United's Champions League final against Manchester United next weekend.
Right back Glen Johnson also accumulated yellow cards and was suspended and missed this game. Replacing him in the starting lineup was Lichtsteiner, the Swiss international.
Seydu Keita was slightly injured on the defensive midfielder, so Zhong Cheng let him rest and let Stephen Mbia start.
Luka Modric's injury on the forward line has not healed yet, and Zhong Cheng did not take risks. After all, this was the most important UEFA Champions League final, so substitute Toni Kroos appeared in the starting lineup.
The forward has not changed, it is still Diego Milito.
Diego Milito has performed well since coming to Leeds United. He has scored 19 goals so far this season, ranking second in the Premier League scorer list. The first place is Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo, their number of goals is 24.
Yes, none of the Premier League shooters are strong enough this season. The only one with 20 goals is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The only ones who still have a chance to hit 20 are Diego Milito and Drogba.
Therefore, Leeds United has a problem this season. Their forwards occupy the top two scorers in the Premier League, but they only rank fourth. This is very abnormal. It can be seen that after the end of this season, Zhong Cheng still has a lot of things to deal with.
This is Leeds United’s starting lineup for this game, followed by the visiting team Middlesbrough’s starting lineup, as follows:
Away team: Middlesbrough, head coach: Southgate, formation: 4-3-1-2
Goalkeeper: Tumble
Back four [from left to right]: Pogatz, Whitt, Rigot and Taylor
Midfield three [from left to right]: Downing, O'Neill, Deegard
Single attacking midfielder: Thongcay
Double forward: Alfonso Alves and Aliadiere
This is the starting lineup of the Middlesbrough team today. You can see from this lineup that the Middlesbrough people are eager to attack.
Yes, they put three people in the midfield, but these three are not defensive midfielders. Downing and Deegard are both good players on the wing and can attack forward. The real defensive player is O'Neal. In fact, O'Neal is not a 100% defensive player. He still has the ability to organize and organize in the middle.
Tuncay, the captain of the Turkish national team in the attacking midfielder, used to be a right winger and is very fast. Here, he is not so much an attacking midfielder as a second forward. Therefore, the formation of the Middlesbrough team can actually be regarded as an offensive 4-3-3. Isn't this a crazy attack?
Yes, the Middlesbrough team is aiming for victory in every game. Only by winning can they have a chance to successfully avoid relegation.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Middlesbrough launched a ferocious attack and besieged Leeds United.
Although Zhong Cheng also hopes to win, at this time, Zhong Cheng is not in a hurry. Now that the Middlesbrough team has attacked and taken advantage of it, Zhong Cheng can only let nature take its course.
To be honest, Middlesbrough's attack is still very strong, especially Downing's side.
Downing is very fast, and he is also the number one star in this Middlesbrough team. Many wealthy clubs have wanted to introduce Downing before, including Manchester United and Chelsea.
Downing's ability is indeed impressive. He was once the hottest rising star in England. He was selected for the England national team in 2005. However, he was suddenly injured in 2006, which seriously affected Stuart Downing's future.
Although Stuart Downing made mistakes after recovering from injury, his reputation was not as good as before.
Stuart Downing has applied to the club many times for a transfer this season, but has been denied, so he still remains at Middlesbrough.
With a bang, Tangning received a pass from O'Neal in the middle, suddenly dodged and pushed the ball, passed Lichtsteiner, caught up with the ball, and suddenly kicked the ball in.
The football flew quickly into the Leeds United penalty area. Unfortunately, Alfonso Alves did not grab David Luiz, and the football was directly pushed out of the penalty area by David Luiz.
Alfonso Alves has been at Middlesbrough for almost two years but he has never proven himself.
Alfonso Alves, the Brazilian forward, is tall and strong, with a balanced left and right foot. He can break through with the ball and has great impact. He also has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal. He has attracted the attention of Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich and other wealthy clubs. .
Speaking of which, Alfonso Alves couldn't even play football in Brazil at first. Later, he left Brazil and went to Sweden to join Ibrahimovic's old club Malmo. Soon he made the Malmo fans forget that Ibrahimovic had not scored in nine consecutive games. Simovic, Alfonso Alves ushered in the first glory of his career here.
Here he once staged a great show where nine players scored a goal in a row, and led the Malmö team to the championship that year. Then, like his predecessor Ibrahimovic, he was recruited to the Netherlands. After moving to Heerenveen, Alfonso Alves completely broke out. He created an Eredivisie single here. The record for the most goals scored in a game. In the same game, he scored seven goals by himself. He is still the holder of the record for the most goals scored in a single game in the Eredivisie.
This guy became the top scorer in the Eredivisie in the 2006-2007 season, scoring 30 league goals. This season he scored a total of 34 goals for Heerenveen. During this year, he was chased by Chelsea and other giants.
Just before the start of the 2007-2008 season, Middlesbrough introduced the Brazilian forward from Heerenveen in the Eredivisie with a record of 16 million pounds, the most expensive signing for the team.
Many people claim that Alfonso Alves is Adriano No. 2, the Vieri of Brazil.
But after coming to Middlesbrough, this player did not prove his worth. He only scored seven goals for Middlesbrough last season and only six goals in the league.
This season, Alfonso Alves has only scored four goals for Middlesbrough so far, which is really rubbish.
Middlesbrough made a huge loss!
At this time, Chelsea and other clubs are thankful that they did not introduce this super parallel import back then. It seems that this guy is only good in Northern Europe and the Netherlands. He is really not Adriano No. 2 or Brazilian Vieri.
This game reflects this. When facing David Luiz, Alfonso Alves had no chance at all and was stared at by David Luiz.
In this game, Middlesbrough people still only have to watch Stuart Downing and Tuncay.
These two really performed well, especially Turkey's captain Tuncay. Although his speed has slowed down as he gets older, he is Middlesbrough's top scorer this season and has scored more goals in all competitions. It has reached 11, which is very good.
Just now, Tuncay received Aliadiere's counterattack ball and shot directly. It's a pity that he didn't have the strength to kick, and the football was directly held in Zhong Zheng's arms.
Middlesbrough's poor performance this season is actually because of its poor performance on the front line. Alfonso Alves and Aliadiere performed really rubbish. Compared with Aliadiere, Alfonso Alves is pretty good, because so far, Aliadiere's league goals are only half of Alfonso Alves's, which is two Goal.
Aliadiere has played in more than 30 games this season, and is often the main starter. The number of goals scored is really impressive.
Now Southgate is able to start Aliadiere, which also shows how courageous he is!
Seeing the number of goals scored by Middlesbrough's forwards this season, you will understand why Middlesbrough will be relegated this season. With the goal efficiency of the main forwards, if you don't relegate, who will be relegated?
Although Middlesbrough is attacking like crazy and besieging Leeds United, there are not many attacks that are truly threatening. Two super forwards, Alfonso Alves and Aliadiere, were stuck by Leeds United's center back and had almost no chance.
Middlesbrough's chances all came from Tuncaj and Stuart Downing, but these two really couldn't break Leeds United's defense. Therefore, now Middlesbrough is in a position to gain the upper hand and cannot score, and The defense is still in danger.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng felt that Leeds United was stable. As long as there were no accidents, Leeds United would win this game.
