Chapter 117: A fierce battle is in full swing

The World Cup qualifiers between the "Three Lions" and Moldova at home are about to kick off. Thompson is once again on his way to London.

This time Hodgson's England team is still the only Leeds United player selected, Lampard, Ferdinand, Hargreaves, Crouch, Gerrard, Joe Cole and other veterans over 30 years old are selected again, I don't know what Hodgson's heart is, this old man seems to have given up on the promotion of the youth of the England team, or he feels that it is more secure to be an old player in the qualifiers that need to play ten rounds of home and away games.

This match against Moldova is already the last game of the season for England, and the next game will not be until the beginning of June. Thompson went to London in a good mood and returned to Leeds with satisfaction, because England, who were playing at home, swept their opponents with a score of 10-0. Thompson also scored a hat-trick in the game, and the other hat-trick was "The Big Man" Crouch.

After this game, Zach? Thompson's teammates' bonus skill points have increased to 37 points, and he can also provide more help to his brothers in the "swordsman group", he is sometimes quite contradictory, and the last players are his own brothers, and when he uses the "black foot" system to provide bonuses, there is really no way to favor one over the other, and this teammate bonus skill points are too little.

The draw for the quarterfinals of the Europa League was also carried out on these two days, and the quarterfinals were Leeds United, Paris Saint-Main, PSV Eindhoven, Switzerland's youth team, Chelsea, Athletic Bilbao, AC Milan, Inter Milan, these eight teams, in addition to Leeds United, young team, Athletic Bilbao, the other teams are almost comparable to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

It's just that this year's Champions League is a bit weird, the current top eight are Real Madrid, Shakhtar, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, the eight teams, Swiss Youth Team, Paris Saint-Hero, Inter Milan were eliminated from the Champions League and came to play in the Europa League.

Leeds United's luck was not so good this time, they met the Italian giants Inter Milan, although the Nerazzurri have been getting worse, but the framework of this team to win the Champions League is still there, Leeds United meeting them is also seen by the outside world as the end of the Europa League journey.

Simon? Grayson and his ** are quite open-minded, even the fans of the team feel that an English Premier League promoted horse can reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League, they are already very content, no one expects Leeds United to win the Europa League, that is simply unrealistic.

After returning to Leeds United, Zach? Thompson was pleasantly surprised to find that the team's state was better than the previous game against Bayer Leverkusen, and it was almost back to the state of the dragon at the beginning of the season. Although Thompson is the absolute core of the team, and even the vane of the team, his physical state is there, and there is no possibility of being infected by the "virus".

Welcoming the defending champions at home in this almost 100 per cent state is not a bad thing for Leeds United, who are waiting for their work, and there are a lot of internationals on Manchester City's side who have just played an international game!

Due to the schedule arrangement, Leeds United has fallen to third place in the standings because of one less round, "Gunners" Arsenal has returned to the top position, "Blue Moon" Manchester City is 3 points less than Arsenal, but because of one more game than Leeds United 2 points more in second place, "Red Devils" Manchester United also caught up with Leeds United because of the goal difference is temporarily fourth, Tottenham Hotspur is only 1 point less than Leeds United.

If the 'Young Guards' lose this game, they will immediately come under great pressure, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur could overtake them at any time and push them into fifth place, and the most real thing for Leeds United right now is to keep their top four in the table so that they can hope to play in the Champions League next season.

But isn't there such a thing as pressure Simon? Unique to Grayson and Leeds United, the "Blue Moon" Manchester City also has a lot of pressure as the defending champions, and the match with Leeds United is definitely an important event related to the championship.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was silent before the game, but in the end he couldn't resist the rush from Sky Sports News and jumped out to give a response: "This game is going to be a lot of attention, no one can predict the outcome of the game, what I and my team can do is to handle this game with the best mentality, so that we will have the advantage."

The odds of the bookmakers before the game are still unanimously optimistic about Manchester City, and the prediction of Sky Bookmakers is that although Leeds United have the advantage of home field, the difference in strength between the two sides is still not small, and Manchester City will win the opponent by a small distance away.

Reporter interviews Simon? Grayson's boss said: "I know we don't want us to win the game, we lost 2-0 in the first leg, but don't forget that this is Elland Road and any opponent who wants to leave here with a win has to be agreed by me and my players! Right now...... We disagree! ”

Simon? Grayson's words are very tough, it's not that he's bluffing, but he knows very well what kind of state his team is in right now, Shaq's form is still as stable as ever, and as long as he's okay, the "Leeds Three" won't have a problem, and "The Beast" has recently become excited again, and even tried a little too hard in training, which is of course the chemistry caused by his hatred of Manchester City, which is a good thing for Leeds United.

Ready for anything? Grayson also didn't expect that in the game on April 1, Zack? Under Thompson's leadership, Leeds United will surprise everyone one after another.

In this game, Mancini lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but the Italian's tactic was to pile up six players in central midfield, and he seemed to be very comfortable with his team's defensive line consisting of Klich, Bochetti, Richards and Srna, and did not set up a central midfielder at all.

The lone striker is Bosnia-Herzegovina center Dzeko, and behind him to the left is Manchester City's engine David? Silva, Argentinian Sergio Aguero plays the role of shadow striker behind Dzeko, and Yaya on the right? Toure, the two midfielders are Frenkie de Jong and Croatian midfielder Badergui, who has been bought for £19.25 million this season.

The "Blue Moon" line-up is simply outrageous, but even such a strong defending champion, when they meet the "Young Guards" away from home, they are still incapable of outwitting them, because Leeds United has a nickname "Shaq" Zach? Thompson.

Just a minute into the game, Croatian midfielder Badergui, who was wearing Manchester City's No. 16 shirt, gave the No. 21 David in front of him? Silva sent a through ball, he felt that Leeds United's midfield only had one "Shaq" is too weak, his team can organize the attack in the midfield well, this guy who was unable to play due to injury in the last Manchester City home game against Leeds United is obviously underestimating the famous "Shaq".

"Smack!"

David? Silva stopped the ball before dribbling to the right and shaking the pme in front of him? Vrsariko was about to shove the ball directly into Dzeko in front of him, when a white figure suddenly stepped in front of him and poked the ball out with one kick.

Sark!?

Badelji was stunned, he really didn't expect to be away from David before? Silva is more than ten meters away from "Shaq", and he actually arrived at David in the blink of an eye? Silva broke the ball on his side.

David? Silva's ball was broken, but the matter wasn't over yet.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

David? Silva's right arch pushed Zach? Thompson poked the ball out of his right foot, and then he felt his big toe of his right foot hurt and fell to the lawn with a scream.

Kindness!?

Zack? Thompson scratched his hair inexplicably, and looked at David, who was lying on the tip of his right foot? Silva: Holy! No way? Lao Tzu didn't foul! And you kicked me, and you fell first!?

Fortunately, the referee is not far from the place of the incident, and his eyes can see it clearly, this ball Zack? Thompson didn't really make any foul moves, but David? Silva kicked "Shaq" in the foot.

After the game was interrupted, the Manchester City team doctor came up to diagnose and treat him, and immediately made a substitution at Mancini on the sidelines, and then turned his head to look at Zach in surprise? Thompson, he's really curious, "Shaq" this guy's body is flesh and blood, after being kicked, there is no, but the kick broke his right big toe.

Mancini was also stunned off the field, and hurriedly sent the most expensive player in the Russian league that he bought this season, the Portuguese Danny, all the players warmed up when they warmed up before, and there was no need to wait at this time, but at the beginning of the game, a big player was lost, and this game was ...... It's really hard to fight!

Just three minutes later, Badergui was once again seeing the way "Shaq" played, and when he tried to pass the ball to Sergio Aguero in front of him, Zack? Thompson burst out from the side again, squeezing Aguero aside with a reasonable "bang", and he himself broke the ball again.

No way! So violent!?

Baderji was a little frightened, looked at Aguero who was grinning on the lawn, and hurriedly followed carefully to defend Zack? Thompson is up.

Baderghy or is it the first time I've seen like Zach? Thompson played like this, and the Leeds United midfielder, who was the only one in charge, actually gave Badergui a sense of danger, as if there was really a shark with its mouth open and quietly waiting for someone to reach its mouth.

Badelji subconsciously said to Zack? Thompson was fearful, and naturally he was not so tight in terms of pressing, but Zach? Thompson didn't dribble the ball much, he directly stuffed the ball to the feet of Pivkowski on the right side, and the ** person of the "Swedish Tower" was still improved by his ability to pass the ball with his teammates' bonus skill points, and there was no problem with relying on speed to break through and cross on the right.

"Smack!"

Pivkowski didn't turn around, he leaned sideways and sent the ball to the top of the Manchester City ** arc, and the "beast" Tevez was really like a beast at this time, rushing out and bringing the ball into the space between Bocchietti and Richards.

After running diagonally to the left with the ball for two steps, Tevez suddenly turned with his left foot, and the ball flew to the bottom right corner of the Manchester City goal!

Joe Hart's center of gravity had moved to the side of Tevez to seal the near corner, and it was too late to fall to the left to make a save, watching the ball fly in front of him and finally fall into the depths of the net, but he could only sit on the turf because of the distortion of the center of gravity......

Just seven minutes into the game, Leeds United took a 1-0 lead!

[Is there a commuter pass?] Hey, 10+1, I'm going to challenge you! (To be continued.) )
