creator of giants

Zhong Cheng walked back to his coach's bench slowly, and sat down directly.

On the other side, Guardiola kept watching Zhong Cheng's back, and waited for Zhong Cheng to sit in his seat before turning around slowly and sitting down.

Although Guardiola was very tough in front of Zhong Cheng before, he still felt a lot of pressure at this time.Their opponent is not only the defending champion Leeds United, but also the opponent's home court. The right time, place and people do not belong to them. It is very difficult for them to counterattack here.

Leeds United is not as easy to deal with as imagined.

At this moment, the fans at the scene became excited, jumping up and down like three-year-old children.

The Leeds United fans roared excitedly, welcoming their players.

Yes, at this moment, players from both sides came out of the player tunnel.

At the forefront is the referee group of this game. This referee group is from Italy. It is said that this referee group will participate in this year's World Cup in South Africa, and they will enforce the World Cup.

Then the players from the two teams walked in with vigorous steps.

"Okay, now the players from both sides have come out of the player tunnel, and the game is about to start. Now we use this time to introduce the starting lists of both sides today, everyone please pay attention!" Mark Laurence said immediately.

"Then first, we have Mr. Mark Lawrenson to introduce the starting situation of the visiting team Barcelona!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

Mark Lawrenson glanced at Eddie Gray, and immediately said: "Okay, this game is about to start. Now let me introduce the starting list of the Barcelona team. Let's see How is this different from what everyone expected before the game?"

Today's starting lineup for the visiting team Barcelona is as follows:

Away Team: Barcelona, ​​Manager: Josep Guardiola, Formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Victor Valdes
Back four [from left to right]: Maxwell, Puyol, Gerard Pique and Alves

Three midfielders [from left to right]: Iniesta, Marquez and Xavi

Three strikers [left to right]: Thierry Henry, Ibrahimovic and Leo Messi

This is the starting list of the Barcelona team today, which can be regarded as the absolute main lineup of Barcelona.But Thierry Henry is considered a main rotation player.

To be honest, many people today did not expect that Thierry Henry appeared in the starting list.Shouldn't Josep Guardiola start Pedro at this point?
Yes, Josep Guardiola attaches great importance to Pedro, cares about his training very much, and is very dedicated.It's clear that Jose Guardiola's future promises to be limitless for Pedro.

However, today the young Pedro did not appear in the starting list, but veteran Thierry Henry was discharged.Obviously, Josep Guardiola is still a little vain in his heart. He wants to make the Barcelona team more stable and have more experience.

Yes, Josep Guardiola thinks that Leeds United is really too good, so Thierry Henry will be discharged.

However, Barcelona's striker trident is really powerful, very powerful.

The most powerful thing about Barcelona is their midfielder, especially Iniesta and Xavi. This is the key to Barcelona.Josep Guardiola once said that the most important assists in the Barcelona club are not Messi, but Xavi and Iniesta, especially Xavi.

Therefore, before Josep Guardiola questioned the selection of European Footballer and World Footballer, he believed that both Harvey and Iniesta should advance to the final list of candidates, and even at least one of them Only one person can receive this award.

Therefore, Josep Guardiola's most important thing is the midfielder.

Barcelona is really too good, this frontcourt is really going to explode, no wonder Mark Pias is optimistic about Barcelona, ​​what he said makes sense.

Barcelona used Samuel Eto'o this season to return Ibrahimovic. For now, the cooperation between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola is still very good, but between them There are actually some cracks in the room.

However, for now, this rift is still very small and has not substantially affected the relationship between the two.But a disaster has already been planted between the two of them, and it won't be long before this conflict is about to erupt.

"This is the starting lineup of the Barcelona team today. It is really strong. Next, we will invite Eddie Gray to introduce the starting lineup of the home team Leeds United!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"Okay, everyone has seen the starting list of the Barcelona team. It is really strong. But compared with our Leeds United team, it is still a bit worse. This game must be our Leeds United team. We are confident~ !" Eddie Gray first expressed his confidence.

Then, Eddie Gray continued: "Okay, now it's up to me to introduce you to today's Leeds United starting list."

Today, 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 [left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Lichtsteiner
Double Pivot: Sami Khedira and Stephen Mbia
Three midfielders [left to right]: Marco Reus, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Solo striker: Lewandowski
今天利兹联队的这个手法名单是有些变化了，而且变化还是有些大了。因为最起码的阵型就发生了变化，从之前的4-1-3-2直接变成了4-2-3-1，很显然是加强了中场的防守。

Zhong Cheng added another person in the position of the midfielder, which shows that he is a little afraid of Barcelona's offense, otherwise he would not change his formation.But to be honest, Barcelona's frontcourt configuration is really, really awesome, and Leeds United really have a reason to add people.

You look at Xavi, Iniesta, Leo Messi, Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Barcelona's frontcourt, which one is easy to match?

The offensive talents of these guys are terrifying. Although Zhong Cheng trusts Sami Khedira very much, Zhong Cheng still needs to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield and give the back line more protection.

Barcelona's offensive strength against the opponent is very strong, Zhong Cheng was careful not to make a mistake.

Moreover, this game of Leeds United is also a defensive counterattack, and there is no big problem if there is one less person on the forward line.Leeds United's counterattack basically waits for the second-line attack, that is, the changed Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Reus. The speed of these two is very fast enough to support Lewandowski.

Therefore, in this game, Lewandowski's main goal is to stand up as a center.

After Guardiola saw the formation of Leeds United, he also instantly understood Zhong Cheng's intentions.Not only did he not feel relaxed, but he found it even more difficult.Leeds United set up such a formation, which is really a very difficult problem for Barcelona.

Barcelona is definitely going to attack, but Leeds United's defense has suddenly thickened a lot, and it is really difficult to penetrate.

For Leeds United, Guardiola has a lot of understanding.And the two teams have also played against each other, he knows that Leeds United's defense is good.Don't look at Leeds United just adding someone to the midfielder, but the level of defensive strength has increased exponentially.

However, for this point, Guardiola had expected it before the game, so he was not particularly afraid. This just added or subtracted some difficulties to the Barcelona team. Guardiola has confidence in his players , very confident.

Guardiola believes that their Barcelona team will win this game.

After the players of the Barcelona team saw Leeds United's starting list, they all nodded slightly.Their head coach is really good. Before the game, they thought of Leeds United's countermeasures, and they have more confidence in this game.

Yes, the Barcelona players felt they had won this game.

At this time, the players of both sides were standing in the court, standing in their respective positions, and the game was about to start.

At this time, the referee is already working seriously, and the game is about to start.

"Today, the Barcelona team started Gerard Pique. Gerard Pique is facing his old club again. To be honest, after Gerard Pique left Leeds United, he has never won. I don’t know if Gerald Pique will change his fate this time.” Mark Lawrenson said.

Although, Leeds United and Barcelona are now like mortal enemies, competing for the only place.But at this time, Leeds United fans still held up a banner for Gerard Pique, welcoming Gerard Pique home.

For Gerard Pique, Leeds United fans still like it very much.

Although Gerard Pique wanted to leave Leeds United at the beginning, the fans of Leeds United understood Gerard Pique. This is not Gerard Pique's fault.It's a trick of good fortune.

At the scene, Leeds United fans even chanted Gerard Pique's name.

Gerard Pique is very excited and full of gratitude. These Leeds United fans are really lovely.Gerard Pique really felt as if he was coming home, although he never played at the Crown Stadium when he was at Leeds United.

Gerard Pique applauded immediately, thanking the Leeds United players for their understanding and support.

After doing this last night, the game is really about to start.The fans of both sides have already entered their roles, and the referee of this game is also making final preparations, and the game is about to start.

At this moment, the referee of the game blew the whistle to start the game.

"Okay, the game has officially started. The first kick-off is the Barcelona team from afar. They are wearing traditional red and blue striped shirts. They attack from the left to the right of the screen. And Leeds The United team is wearing their traditional white jerseys, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left!" Mark Lawrenson shouted loudly.

The game started and Barcelona had the ball.
