Proud Founder

Before the game, Ipswich head coach Joe Royle also gave an interview to the media.

Joe Royle said: "At the start of the season, Leeds did surprise a lot of people and I didn't expect, they did really well and I was surprised by the quality of Loya. But now everyone can see that Leeds United's tactics have been thoroughly eaten by everyone, and they are not worried about it now, this game, we Ipswich

are confident to win!" Joe Royle immediately said in response to questions from media reporters: "Of course, we will not make any changes, we are very confident in our attack. And this is our home stadium and we're going to have a sharp attack on Leeds in the depths, I'm confident!"

Ipswich are the most attacking team in the Championship right now, they have now scored 42 goals in 18 games, an average of 2.3333 goals per game, which is a staggering percentage of goals. No wonder Joe Royle shouted so much before the game, people are really confident and capable.

Joe Royle is a Everton legend, he played for Everton from 1966 to 1974, playing for Everton for eight years, and during that eight years, he played 276 games for Everton, scored 103 goals, and was the top scorer in the Everton team for five consecutive seasons.

After this guy became the head coach, he also advocated offense, and it can be seen that he really has a set of offense.

Now he is waiting for Leeds United to arrive at his home turf.

November 2004, Ipswich, Suffolk County, England.

The Portmans Stadium was packed with fans of the home team, wearing blue home jerseys and cheering for their favourite team.

Today, there are still some Leeds United fans who go away from home, but the number is too small, it seems that there are not even a hundred people, which shows the embarrassing situation of Leeds United at this stage.

However, Zhong Cheng didn't care too much, as long as the home stadium was full, and the away team couldn't receive the ticket fee.

In the shabby away dressing room, Zhong Cheng is teaching his players a face-to-face opportunity.

Zhong Cheng said very seriously: "This Ipswich team is very strong, they were relegated from the Premier League two seasons ago, but then in the next two seasons, they performed very well in the Championship, both reached the promotion play-offs, and finally fell short, which shows that they are the top team in the Championship!" Zhong Cheng said well, they reached the promotion play-offs for two consecutive seasons and were

almost promoted, which many teams can't do.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Joe Royle has been in charge of the team for a season and a half, and now the style of play is more mature, this is a very difficult bone to gnaw!"

Leeds United players really rarely see Zhong Cheng so serious, it seems that they have only seen it before the game against Arsenal. The Leeds United players were all in their hearts, and Zhong Cheng actually put Ipswich on the same level as Arsenal, and they knew how difficult this game would be.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich's forward line is very strong, do we have to know closely in this game?"

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich's forward line is a combination of high and fast, Shevki Kucchi is a 188-tall Finnish flyer, and his header ability is very good, and he is a player of the Finnish national team. He was joined by young England Under-21 striker Darren Bent, a pair of strikers who were very efficient in scoring goals!"

the Leeds United players were serious and sharp-eyed.

Zhong Cheng said: "I would like to highlight Darren Bent here, a very fast striker who played for Ipswich in the Premier League at the age of 17 and scored two goals in seven appearances that season. After Ipswich's relegation, the talented young striker was a regular in the team, scoring 18 goals in 2002-2003, 16 in 2003-2004 and eight goals this season, I think you all know what that means.

Zhong Cheng said: "The defensive task of this game is very heavy, Gerrard and Thomas, the two of you must hold my position for me, and you must give me this sharp offensive combination!"

Bent scored 19 goals and the efficiency was amazing.

This is also the reason why Zhong Cheng attaches importance to this combination, these two are a classic combination of one high and one fast, and there is still a very tacit understanding between the two and there is chemistry, which is even more difficult to deal with.

And Ipswich Town also has assisters such as quasi-Scottish international Tommy Miller and Northern Ireland international Jim Magilton in midfield, which is why this Ipswich Town team is sharp in attack.

Leeds United Boumsson is injured and is still recuperating, and today Zhong Cheng has to send a young central defender combination of Pique and Vermaelen, whether this combination can withstand the impact of these two strikers, it is really suspenseful.

Zhong Cheng finally instructed and said, "Gerald, Thomas, you may be tired today!" The

two immediately said neatly: "Don't worry, boss, we will not let you down!"

Zhong Cheng reminded Zim Bonda and Gary Kelly again: "Pascal and Gary, you should not only pay attention to the defense of Tommy Miller and others, but also pay attention to the two fullbacks of the opposing team, Matthew Richards and Fabian Kelly. Venice, these two have a good ability to assist!"

Gary Kelly nodded firmly.

━━━Dividing Line━━━

After talking about defense, Zhong Cheng began to talk about offense again.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich's center-back combination is also a combination of high and fast, 193cm tall Canadian international Jason DeVos and 185cm tall black central defender Derisa Diallo from Africa, these two are also very good together, this season, Ipswich has conceded 21 goals so far, their defense is not the best, but there is a certain strength!" Leeds United's

attacking players nodded their heads and said they knew.

Zhong Cheng said: "Jason DeVos's turning speed is very slow, so he usually drags back and defends head-on, while Drissa Diallo is fast and flexible, he usually grabs and intercepts, chases and makes up for defense, this guy has amazing physical fitness!"

Leeds United's attacking players listened to Zhong Cheng's introduction, and they were all thinking carefully about the way.

Zhong Cheng said: "Ipswich's two full-backs came in to assist, and the assists were relatively large, and we had to take advantage of the space behind them, you know?"

Leeds United's attacking players looked at each other and found the centre of gravity.

Zhong Cheng said: "We have lost five consecutive leagues, and now we can't lose again. And you know, this game is a six-point game, I want you to give it your all, win this game, we need this win!

" Leeds players immediately shouted with determination: "Victory, victory, victory!"

Vermaelen, Pique and Gary Kelly

double midfielders: Las Diarra

and Albertini three forwards [from left to right]: Ribery

, Modric and Lennon single forward: Huntelaar

Zhong Cheng today let Albertini and Modric both start at the same time, the rhythm of this double core, it can be seen that Zhong Cheng is very eager to win.

Ipswich Town lined up today in a

four-four-two: goalkeeper: Kevin DaviesDefender

four [left to right]: Matthew Richards, Drissa Diallo, Jason DeVos and Fabian Venezia

Four midfielders [left to right]: Tommy Miller, Kevin Hollock, Tony Tinnin, Jim Magilton,

two forwards: Shefki Kutch and Darren Bent

Looking at this lineup, you know that Ipswich is very strong, there are many international players in the team, and they are all the ones with good strength.

As soon as the match began, Ipswich launched a very ferocious attack to the cheers of the fans.

Ipswich's midfielders are all international-level players, although they are not the absolute main force today, but the strength of these people is already very good, Jim Maguilton is very old, at the age of 35, it is said that after the end of this season, he will choose to retire, but today he started.

Jim Magillton is old, his speed is not good, but he is very experienced, he used to be a Northern Ireland international, his current pass is very demonic, very coquettish!

This is not just five minutes into the game, Jim Magillton sent a very accurate diagonal 45-degree cross, the ball quickly over the head of Vermaelen at the front point, flew towards the Finnish flyer Shefki Kuchi behind Vermaelen.

Shevki Kutch's name as the Finnish Flyer comes from a celebratory gesture he made after a goal, when he shot a certain distance, then kicked his legs and his whole body flew into the air, like a swimmer taking off, and then plunged into the pool, while Kuchi fell to the turf.

The narrator at the time gave Shefki Kutch the nickname of the Finnish Flyer, which is still used today.

And it is also claimed that Kutchi's title as the Finnish flyer is a compliment to his bouncing ability, because when he jumps up for the header, he really looks like a flyer.

At this moment, Shefki Kutch jumped high and jumped like a flying man.

Amid the frantic screams of the Ipswich fans throughout the stadium, Shevki Kuchi shook his head at the ball and slammed the ball towards the back post.

"Finnish Flyer headers!" exclaimed Mark Laurenson.

Ipswich had a good attacking prowess and they had only just started the game when they had a very good chance to put the Leeds United goal in danger.

The ball was so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning.

Scott Carson was so shocked in front of goal that he immediately flew out sideways and stretched out desperately with one hand.

Truth be told, Scott Carson didn't have the confidence to save the ball himself.

With a snap, Scott Carson's right hand slapped the football, and his heart was overjoyed, and the Leeds United fans on the sidelines jumped up and cheered excitedly.

The ball immediately bounced off and flew into the middle of the penalty area.

"Oh, no!" Eddie Gray exclaimed suddenly, his face pale.

"It's in, it's in!" Just five minutes into the game, Ipswich got the goal, and it was their young striker Darren ————Bent!' Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
