Elland Road Stadium was already full.

The craziest fans in England filled Leeds United's home stadium before the game began, cheering and singing.

In the tunnel, Luka Modric, who was waiting to enter the stadium, was looking down on what was going on, completely oblivious to the Leeds players around him watching him.

It wasn't until his teammate Joel Luca arched him that he noticed what was going on around him.

First of all, there are two bald heads, one is a little stronger in size 16, and the other is not so strong in size 18, but it doesn't look like a good class.

The other Leeds United players were also chatting in twos and threes, but their eyes were all looking at Modric from time to time, which made the Croatian very uncomfortable.

Then Leeds United captain, Alan Smith, came from behind, ready to walk to the front of the group, and just as he passed by Modric, he stopped and began to look Modric up and down.

Modric was so uncomfortable with his eyes that he wanted to open his mouth to ask him, but he didn't know English.

After two glances at Modric, Smith continued to walk in front of Van der Sar. And the Leeds United coaching staff, who have been at the back of the team, are now chatting, and the content of the chat is also about Modric.

"It looks pretty good, is it really as powerful as you say?" It was Brian Kidd who spoke.

The team has been working on how to play Dinamo Zagreb for the past two days, and the focus of George Lee is to freeze their midfield core, No.10, Luka Modric.

"When Kaka first went to AC Milan, he was just as handsome as him, and he still wore glasses......

When George Li spoke, he pushed his glasses. He was not very used to wearing glasses just now, and when he was watching the game off the field before, he realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

It wasn't until he watched TV that day that he finally discovered the problem, which turned out to be myopia.

George Li pushed his glasses again and continued to speak.

'He's just played at the World Cup and he can see a lot of potential. And to be able to wear No. 10 at Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 20, don't you think he must be a bit level? ”

George Li can only say this, and he can't tell them that after more than ten years, people will still take the World Footballer.

"Hmph, I thought you targeted him like this because Viduka said it." Casper also joined the chat.

"Am I such a small-bellied person?"

"You're ......," Kidd and Casper said in unison.

^^^

As he spoke, the players from both sides began to enter the stadium and the game officially began.

Leeds United were also more conservative today, with new signings Kuyt and Woodgate not starting, instead using last season's regular line-up in a 433 formation.

Edwin van der Sar, Bynes, Mathieson, Albucheson and Mills partnered at the back.

Because of the departure of Glen Charles and Rometadal, Smith went to play on the left side of the team, so the midfield became the combination of Parker and De Jong and Gruvisen.

The front trio is Smith, Van Persie and Kevin Davies.

After the start of the game, Leeds United continued to press high up front, putting pressure on the back line of Dinamo Zagreb.

The Dynamo team's backline can only hand over the ball forward as quickly as possible to prevent the backcourt from being tackled.

The ball was quickly driven into Leeds' half, where Dynamo striker Eduardo was defeated in a head-to-head battle with Albuchesen and the ball was headed towards the centre circle.

Luka Modric and De Jong were about to scramble for the ball, but just as they were about to touch it, De Jong slid straight to the ground and began to tackle the ball.

Modric was instantly frightened and quickly jumped up to dodge, avoiding De Jong's legs.

The ball was received by De Jong, who got up and handed the ball to Gravesson, and then began to run and receive it himself.

Gravisen began to organise the attack, Leeds United began to push forward layer by layer, and the ball was passed back and forth by several men in midfield.

From Smith on the left to Van Persie on the right, Davies who retreated from the front and Baines who was inserted in the back are all constantly transmitting.

Until De Jong, who was following him, spotted an opportunity to spot Smith cutting in diagonally behind Dynamo's defence.

However, De Jong passed the ball a little late, and was stuck in the position of the opposing defender Mamic, standing on the passing route to cut the ball.

After getting the ball, Mamic quickly counter-attacked and passed the ball forward to the defender Joel Luka.

Joel Luka glanced up and spotted Modric, who was answering, and just as he was about to pass the ball, he saw the right number 16 bald head blocking the passing route.

Just as he hesitated, Leeds defender Parker stepped up and cut the ball away from Joel Luka's feet.

The situation reversed in an instant, and Parker found Davis directly this time.

The retreating Davies used his body to jam another Dynamo centre-back, German veteran Novotny.

Then a heavy shoulder to the right, followed by a half-turn to the left immediately to get rid of the defense.

Turning around, Davies slipped the ball behind the defence on the right, where Van Persie was in an offside position.

After coming to the penalty area, Van Persie met the incoming ball and shot directly into the far corner with his left foot, and steadily hit the ball into the goal of Dynamo.

1 to 0.

Van Persie opened his arms and began to run along the baseline after the goal, followed by other Leeds United players who arrived on the road.

Finally, in the corner kick area, he was caught up by Smith behind him, threw himself to the ground, and celebrated together.

Leeds fans on the flanks are already going crazy as their team gets closer and closer to the Champions League fixture.

And George Li also waved his arms fiercely off the field, this goal was not because it limited Modric, but because the team's tactics and strength were a little higher than the opponent, and they could completely defeat the opponent with their strength.

As for why you want to target Modric, one is that the opponent is indeed a capable and potential player, and it is necessary to strengthen the targeting just in case; There's also the one that is pure and pure, just to give Vidu a little color.

After the restart, Modric felt the bad faith of the Leeds United manager.

Leeds United's three midfielders will always deliberately stand in the passing path given to them by their teammates and will not let him get the ball comfortably.

After they finally got the ball, they would immediately fall into the bag as soon as they started, and it was a complete bag, and they would rather let go of their teammates than come to surround him.

You can pass the ball to your teammates, but they will be snatched away by them right away.

The opposition's left winger and centre-forward will always drop back to defend, so that they do not have an advantage in midfield.

In one of the confrontations, Modric was again knocked to the ground by Parker, but the referee did not blow a penalty.

Luka Modric sat on the ground and watched Parker get the ball and walk away. After Parker came to the center circle, he faced Joel Luka's defense and secretly distributed the ball to Smith on the side.

Smith cut inside from the left and found his way to the left front of the box and fired a long-range shot past Dynamo again.

At this time, Modric had just gotten up from the ground.

2 to 0.

Leeds United are one step closer to the Champions League group stage.
