Before setting off, Zhong Cheng accepted an interview with a media reporter. He said: "This game will be very difficult. The strength of the Chelsea team is really too strong. They are much, much stronger than the Arsenal team. This is a test for us. But we have the confidence to win!"
The grievances between Leeds United and Chelsea are very deep, and they are simply sworn enemies.
At this moment, how could Zhong Cheng say that he has no confidence? When they came to London, Leeds United came to compete with Chelsea.

In this game, they The Chelsea team will definitely teach Zhong Cheng a good lesson, and let Zhong Cheng know how good their Chelsea team is.
A lot of Edinson Cavani has also been interviewed by media reporters recently. He said: "Yes, Chelsea is very good, but is our Leeds United weak? Obviously not, our Leeds United are not. The champion of the Premier League last season and the defending champion this season, will our strength be weaker than other teams? Obviously not!"
Many media reporters nodded and had to admit that Leeds United is still very strong. Although they are young, it is really good that they can still maintain such a performance under the current situation.
Of course, the Chelsea team is even more powerful. The more important thing is that the Chelsea team is in a very good state now, and it is still very difficult for Leeds United to beat Chelsea.
Edinson Cavani also said: "I am in good form for this game. As for whether I can start this game or not, it depends on our boss's decision. I obey our boss's arrangement. However, As long as I play, I will definitely give my all!"
Edinson Cavani has expressed his position, obviously he is very eager for this game.
Some other Leeds United players also accepted interviews from media reporters. Their interviews were all similar, and they were all full of confidence in this game.
After the interview, Leeds United set off for London.
On the London side, Chelsea people are also being interviewed by media reporters.
Jose Mourinho said in an interview with media reporters: "We are under a lot of pressure this season because our goals are very high. Our Chelsea team is now very mature. In the next one or two seasons, our Chelsea team will definitely be able to win the UEFA Champions League. But our chairman can't wait, we will win the UEFA Champions League this season!"
Yes, Abramovich has never been a very patient man. It can be seen from the fact that he spent money crazily when he took over the team and used the money to pile up a strong team. He hopes that the team can produce results immediately.
After winning a Premier League title and a Premier League runner-up, Abramovich hopes that the team can make a breakthrough in the UEFA Champions League. This is an order he gave Jose Mourinho. Therefore, this season is also very stressful for Jose Mourinho.
In the league, Chelsea will naturally not give up. Abramovich hopes to win more championships. Jose Mourinho said: "The strength of the opponent is not weak. This is not the first time I have said this. However, there can only be one winner in this game, and that is our Chelsea team. So, Leeds United are sorry, you have to lose!"
As expected, God is number one and my master is number two, and his words are so domineering.
Jose Mourinho also said: "The current situation of Leeds United is really very bad. There is a big gap between them and us. This game may be a little more difficult, but victory must be It belongs to our Chelsea team, for sure!"
Jose Mourinho is confident about this.
In Jose Mourinho's view, this season, they have only one opponent, and that is Ferguson's Manchester United. He doesn't have that much thought to spend on other teams, because they still have to hit the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho finally said: "We have made complete preparations for this game. Leeds United will definitely take away a loss when they come here!"
The Chelsea players were also interviewed by media reporters. Terry said: "We have played against Leeds United many times, and we are very familiar with them. Although in the previous games, our results None of them have an advantage, but we will definitely win this game, we are fully prepared!"
The media reporters are full of black lines. Haven't you been fully prepared for every game before? You said the same thing before, why did you lose in the end?
Terry continued: "From the game between Leeds United and Arsenal, it is not difficult to see that Leeds United has a lot of problems now, and the state of their players is really bad. The first stage of their offense is now very good. Single is to find the high point of Luca Toni in front. Although Luca Toni is very powerful, it is very easy for us to defend against such a single method!"
The media reporters kept nodding their heads, that's true.
Leeds United's players are not in very good condition now, so their offensive method is relatively simple, so Chelsea's players are naturally more confident in their defense.
It seems that Leeds United's chances of winning this game are really slim.
Chelsea striker Drogba also accepted interviews with media reporters. He said: "Leeds United's defense is very good, but I am not afraid of their defense. Because this way of playing is my favorite. , I just like to collide. In such a competition environment, I am more likely to be excited. I believe that this competition will bring you surprises!"
Indeed, Drogba is very familiar with this style of play, and Leeds United's defense should pay attention.
Drogba also said: "For this game, our Chelsea team obviously only has one goal, and that is to win this game, yes, we must win!"
Before the game, the personnel of the two teams showed super confidence. It can be seen that the two teams are bound to win this game, and the competition in this game will definitely be very fierce. Coupled with the historical grievances between the two teams, this game will definitely be extremely hot.
The media reporters were worried about warming up for this game. They used all kinds of previews, and they also found out the historical records of the two teams, recounting the historical grievances between the two teams. It is to dig out the tragic scenes of the previous confrontation between the two sides, as well as the scenes of fans from both sides fighting, etc., which makes people excited and full of expectations.

The change on the front line was beyond many people's expectations. Zhong Cheng did not use Edinson Cavani, who has been very popular recently, but the speedy Darren Bent.
This move really surprised many people, even Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho did not expect it. After seeing the lineup of Leeds United, his brows were also slightly frowned. It seems that today's game is still a bit unexpected.
Zhong Cheng stood there very calmly, wearing the new [Zhong Cheng Suit], like a world famous model. It seems that he is not here to teach the game, but to advertise his suits. Zhong Cheng really deserves to be called a mobile advertisement.
And at this moment, the referee blew the whistle for the official start of the game.
The first attack was the visiting team Leeds United. Leeds United was mainly against the visitors. They had a very simple attack as soon as they came up, but the effect was very good.
After Luka Modric in the backcourt received the ball, he crossed directly to the wing. Joaquin from the wing quickly made a long pass and found Luca Toni who was going forward. Luca Toni jumped up next to Makelele, flew the header directly, and rubbed the football back.
Darren Bent rushed up quickly, caught up with the football and flicked lightly, over the top and passed Ricardo Carvalho who rushed out. After catching up with the football, he didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, he swung his leg and volleyed in the air, knocking the mountain with his kick.
