Although Chinese media reporters and fans were looking forward to it, Lu Feng still regretted not appearing in the starting list.

For the sake of safety, and in order to let Lu Feng slowly get used to the rhythm of the Championship game, Klopp still made the decision to let Lu Feng substitute.

In this game, the pressure is not too high for Leeds United.

Queens Park Rangers have had a poor season this season, and earlier this season, the media predicted that they would at least reach the promotion zone.

However, due to the impact of injuries and the change of manager, in the 27th round of the Championship, that is, in this round of the competition, Queens Park Rangers currently only have 27 points, only less than five points above the relegation zone.

It can be said that this season, Queens Park Rangers and completely bid farewell to the dream of promotion, and even, if one is not good, Queens Park Rangers are still facing the pressure of relegation.

In the last three league games, Queens Park Rangers have drawn two and lost one, and it is difficult to find a chance to win.

The most critical thing is that the team's offensive end is collectively dumb, this season, the entire Queens Park Rangers have only scored 23 goals, you know, the league has passed 26 rounds, and the average result of not scoring a goal in a game is not good, and it may really be relegated.

Fortunately, the Queens Park Rangers' defensive performance was not bad, and they spelled out a lot of draws, otherwise, Queens Park Rangers would have fallen into the relegation zone at this time.

In contrast, Leeds United are the favourites for this game no matter how you look at it.

In the last 26 rounds of the league, Leeds United lead the Championship table with 48 points, followed by Blackburn Rovers with 46 points.

This season, Leeds United were the favourites for promotion or title.

At the start of the season, the acquisition of midfielder Silva from Santos at a high price was already a testament to Leeds United's ambitions. At the same time, the joining of world famous coach Jurgen Klopp has made Leeds United, which was already strong, play more stable.

And this season's performance in the Championship also proves this, Swansea City, who are in third place, are even six points away from Leeds United.

If this form is maintained, the championship this season will not belong to Leeds United.

Therefore, the clash between the two teams, everyone thinks that there is no suspense. One is a team that is mired in relegation and is not in good shape, and the other is a team that is full of momentum and fighting for the championship, and it is clear who wins and who loses.

And the process of the game also fully illustrates this point.

Although Queens Park Rangers were on their home turf, from the first minute of the opening kick-off, the whole scene was completely under Leeds United's control.

Of course, this is also related to the tactics of Queens Park Rangers, this season they are all defensive counterattacks, although most of the time, only defensive, no counterattack, but the players who have developed a habit will still do this.

For Leeds, they naturally played Klopp-style football – pressing high and attacking with all their might.

Since most of Leeds United are young players and there is no physical problem, Klopp's style of play quickly set off a "youth storm" in the Championship. ”

In 26 league games, Leeds United have scored a staggering 47 goals, and, it is more than a point blossom, almost all the midfielders and strikers have scored.

It can be said that this Leeds United team is especially like the previous Dutch team that attacked and defended.

Many people have a lot of complaints about the style of this Leeds United, thinking that Leeds United will not win the championship with this style of play. However, Leeds United is currently leading the Championship standings for the time being, and no one dares to come out and slap themselves in the face at this time.

After the opening game, there were a couple of tentative attacks.

Leeds United's players have noticed that something is wrong, although this Queens Park Rangers team has been playing defensive counter-attacks, it does not mean that they will not attack.

But today, even though the Queens Park Rangers players have accidentally made mistakes, the Queens Park Rangers players have no interest in attacking and have no intention of attacking at all.

What's going on?

Klopp, who was on the sidelines, glanced at the manager of Queens Park Rangers with some confusion, what the new manager was planning.

The new head coach of Queens Park Rangers is the team's firefighting coach Kevinci. From the moment he knew he was going to face Leeds, he didn't intend to attack the slightest.

After so many rounds of league games this season, the teams that dared to attack Leeds United died miserably.

Against Leeds United, as long as Queens Park Rangers can hold on and get a point, it will not be a shame, after all, Leeds United are the top team in the table.

What's more, with the offensive strength of this Queens Park Rangers team, it is too difficult to play a beautiful counterattack.

It's better to hold on to a draw, the season is already halfway over, and he also has to prepare for the relegation of Queens Park Rangers, so he can take one more point to count as one point.

For this reason, he also made some special arrangements to emphasize to the players that they must not attack.

Kevinch felt Klopp's gaze and threw a good-natured smile at him. In my heart, I couldn't help but sneer.

Wait, I've got a surprise for you.

Leeds United really didn't expect Queens Park Rangers to give up offensive opportunities, the so-called defensive counterattack, only defense. However, the defensive tactics of the Queens Park Rangers. They all thought of it.

Because most of the teams in the Championship are now facing Leeds United. will choose defensive tactics.

Defensive tactics though there is no guarantee that they will certainly not lose. But at the very least, they are guaranteed not to lose too badly, and Leeds have had a lot of games against the counter-attack.

So Leeds are now used to playing against counter-attacking teams. They also have experience in dealing with stubborn teams.

In the current Championship, there are few teams that dare to play against Leeds United. At least, the Queens Park Rangers, who are super weak in scoring goals, will never dare to play against Leeds United.

Attacking against each other, attacking each other, you don't even have the ability to attack, then it's not an attack, that's called sending points.

If Leeds can play against such an attacking team, the whole team will be very happy – they can finally play a good game. You know, most of this team is young, and what young people crave is passionate games.

It's just that there are too few opportunities like this, after all, as a league, most teams have the first purpose of scoring points.

The match with Leeds United, at the home of Queens Park Rangers, actually sat less than half of the fans.

This season, Queens Park Rangers' poor results have also caused many teams who support them to be heartbroken, so their home attendance has been declining since the beginning of the season.

However, despite the small number of home players, Queens Park Rangers fans are still cheering for their home team, even if they think that the probability of a win for Queens Park Rangers is basically non-existent.

The Queens Park Rangers gave up on the offense altogether. Shrink the defense. All shrunk into their own half, focused on defending.

The Queens Park Rangers players ran at all costs, blocking Leeds United shots with their bodies.

Even if it's a foul, it's not a matter of course. After all, this is a tactic arranged by the manager, and as players, they can only do what they are told.

They would rather give Leeds a free-kick and there's an element of luck in it. But it would be dangerous to let Leeds United put the ball straight into the box for fear of fouls.

The defensive tactics of free-kicks, Queens Park Rangers are also specially trained.

Anyway, during this time, the only thing Queens Park Rangers do when they are training is to practice defense, all kinds of defense.

And although their defense is a shrink defense, it does not mean that all the swarms are compressed in their own penalty areas. They are still hierarchical.

Despite the tight space, the Queens Park Rangers arranged three lines of defence inside and outside the penalty area.

The first, and most outer, defence, is dominated by forwards and forwards, and its main role is to harass Lazio's midfielders.

Kevinci's idea is definitely not to give up possession in the 30-meter area, but to interfere with the opponent's playmaker as much as possible, so that the opponent does not easily organize the football.

The second line of defence is made up of the midfield. Defend Leeds United's attack in the middle head-on, radiating both the wings and the back line. This line of defense is very important because it will play the role of a tandem front and back, which is not for attacking. Defence also requires a tandem of front and back.

The midfielders can support the defense of the forward line forward and increase the defensive strength of the back line backwards. If you shrink in the middle, the middle will be solid, and if you disperse to the wing, you will help the wing defense.

In short, they can be the second line of defense, but they can also be a guerrilla force, and they will go wherever they are needed.

The third line of defense is naturally the back line.

The defence of two centre-backs and two full-backs is the main defence of Queens Park Rangers, and they are the real defenders, and their task is to put an end to all Leeds attacks here.

Leeds United's attack must end here, otherwise Queens Park Rangers are in danger.

Although there is still a goalkeeper behind the back line, for Leeds United, if there is only one opposing goalkeeper left in the end, then the attack is basically considered a success.

So Queens Park Rangers must avoid letting Leeds United's attack face the goalkeeper directly.

To do so, they must stifle Leeds United's attack at the back.

This is the last line of defence for Queens Park Rangers.

These three lines of defense are the methods that Kevinci uses to deal with. His idea is simple, as long as he holds on to the draw, this game is equivalent to a victory,

I have to say that Kevinci's method still had a great effect.

The Italian-born head coach is quite good at tuning the Queens Park Rangers' defense. In his five games in charge, Queens Park Rangers have won just one game, but the team has conceded just four goals.

Five games and four goals conceded are enough to prove the current defensive strength of Queens Park Rangers.

You know, they have also played against another Nottingham Forest team with strong attacking power this season, and they only let the opponent score 2 goals.

Nottingham Forest, although the results of this season are not ideal, but this has something to do with their porous backline, their forward line, but very strong, offensive power, compared to Leeds United is not inferior.

In the previous match between Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, the two sides attacked the whole way, and in the end Leeds United won with a score of 4-3, which was a very difficult win.

Queens Park Rangers defended quite successfully, with Leeds having had very few shots on goal after twenty minutes of play.

Leeds United have won a lot of free-kick opportunities in front, but there are no free-kick masters among the current Leeds United starters, so it has little effect.

Klopp, who was next to the pitch, couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he saw the situation on the field.

However, he didn't worry too much.

Queens Park Rangers' style of play is doomed to be impossible to score, which means that Leeds United are inherently invincible in this game.

And, Jurgen Klopp doesn't believe the Queens Park Rangers players are fit enough to hold the game.

You know, this kind of defense, for the players, the physical pressure is huge.

Even if Leeds United didn't score anything in the first half, what could the players of Queens Park Rangers do to stop Leeds United's attack after their physical strength slipped in the second half.

Klopp is very confident in the attacking ability of Leeds United, who has been trained for most of the season.

The Chinese reporters in the media gallery couldn't help but sigh again and again when they saw the Queens Park Rangers bus defense facing Leeds United on the field.

They came here to see Lu Feng's play.

However, Lu Feng couldn't play.

It doesn't matter if Lu Feng can't play, if the game is more exciting, they can still bear it, but such a dull game scene made many Chinese reporters a little drowsy.

"It was an ugly and boring game, and if no one had told me, I would have thought it would have been a cup final and not a normal league game."

A Chinese journalist complained that he was speaking Chinese, and that reporters from other countries could not understand what he was saying.

"yes."

A Chinese reporter chimed in.

"We came to see Lu Feng's performance, who knows, it's a waste of time to see such a boring game."

"Who knows when Lu Feng will play, Lu Feng is a master of free kicks, Leeds United has so many free kicks, handed over to Lu Feng, maybe he will have already broken the goal. What was Klopp thinking? ”

Another Chinese journalist was also dissatisfied.

"Look, the land breeze is moving!"

A reporter who had been staring at Lu Feng shouted excitedly.

He walked over to Klopp, not knowing what to do.
