Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United retain the League Cup!

Three kills against Manchester United this season!

The Millennium Stadium saw the white jersey appear on the podium and win the championship trophy.

Captain Kelly burst into tears.

It's like witnessing the beginning of an era.

But he is already a veteran.

This season is his 15th year playing for Leeds United.

From the youth training to the professional arena, his career has only one color, pure white, pure and single.

Simeone raided Shen Hao with a bottle of champagne and poured the drink over his head, making the whole family laugh.

Shen Hao was never one to swallow his anger. He immediately shook a bottle of champagne wildly, pressed his thumb on the mouth of the bottle, and ran around chasing the players to retaliate.

The Leeds fans never stopped laughing as they celebrated.

The fans who toasted frequently in the bar were already tipsy.

Fleet Street sent congratulatory messages to Leeds United.

"The Leeds Tyrants are ushering in a new era!"

"Three kills of the red devils in white clothes, I deserve the cup!"

"Many old stars are shining brightly at Leeds United. This is a miracle for the old boys!"

...

The Los Blancos returned to Leeds with the League Cup trophy and were greeted by a sea of ​​fans.

They were treated like heroes.

The excitement spread throughout Leeds.

Shen Hao gave the team a day off.

He never restricted what the players could do during their holidays, and would always urge them to rest.

But maybe he's not a good role model.

Of course, he is a coach, and his work status and nature are completely different from those of players.

Xiao Ruoan and his son plus Zhao Xin naturally formed a team to greet Shen Hao.

As major shareholders, they are naturally grateful to Shen Hao for his efforts and achievements.

Zhao Xin was obviously a lot more reserved when he came to England. It was probably not the territory he was familiar with, and he obviously couldn't let go.

Apart from frequent toasts to Shen Hao, no other activities could be arranged.

The gong chips are staggered, and the cups are replaced.

The atmosphere is always warm.

Shen Hao drank too much.

In the end, he held Xiao Ruoan in his arms and spoke almost like an ordinary person. When he was drunk, he said solemnly: "Old Xiao, although I know that you want to start other clubs for your son, I don't mind, because you took my father's The retirement life is also well arranged, you are a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people, thank you."

Xiao Ruoan couldn't laugh or cry.

Shen Hao was indeed drunk.

Some words are tacitly spoken.

Speaking out actually made me feel inferior.

Finally, he hugged Chen Hao in the parking lot and kept stepping on the cigarette butts that had just bounced on the ground under his feet.

"Damn it, I want to play football, I want to play football, play football, play football!"

Chen Hao also looked a little confused.

"Kick, Brother Hao, you and I will come back together tomorrow. You will play as a forward and I will play as a midfielder. Mad, keep playing Manchester United!"

Shen Hao wiped his face.

"Mader, I not only want to fuck Manchester United, I also want to fuck Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​Bayern Munich, and Juventus... Mader, God will not reward you, give me Ronaldo's talent, I can be better than Ronaldo." Waldo is more self-disciplined...but God will not reward you with food..."

Chris Jones supported Zhao Xin, who was unconscious.

Bai Muxin reached out to gently support Shen Hao. She saw another side of Shen Hao.

The unwillingness in my heart and the regrets in my life.

She couldn't help being touched and felt sour in her heart.

After Shen Hao and Chen Hao stopped moving, Bai Muxin helped Shen Hao get into the car.

Chris Jones threw Chen Hao and Zhao Xin into the back seat of the car.

each leave.

...

Shen Hao woke up near noon the next day.

In fact, I got up before dawn and drank a few glasses of honey water prepared by Bai Muxin.

She has not slept.

Waiting by.

...

The day after Leeds United won the title was certainly the busiest for the cleaners.

Many streets were in shambles.

Fans partied all night long.

In terms of quality, they are all in disgrace.

The satisfaction and joy that follows the celebration will last for some time.

Shen Hao still maintained his meticulous style when he returned to work.

Keep improving.

You cannot relax at this stage.

The Leeds United players seemed to have tasted the appetizer of this season after winning the League Cup.

The real feast is still waiting for them.

Leeds United will face Roma at home in midweek.

The first leg of the Europa League round of 16 has arrived as scheduled.

Shen Hao continues the rotation.

However, because the opponent is obviously very strong.

So he still sent some of the main players in the starting lineup.

Ribery, Claudio Lopez and Mendieta form a trident.

Roy Keane, Seth Johnson, and Gregan formed a midfield three.

Baines, Kilgallon, Kompany and Carlisle formed the defense line.

Toldo guards the goal.

Since Spalletti's Roma arrived in Leeds, Fleet Street reported there were reservations in their squad for the trip.

It has long been confirmed that Totti is out due to injury.

For example, De Rossi did not come with the team and was obviously rotated.

After the end of the era when English teams dominated European football in the 80s, Serie A became the protagonist of European football.

From the Milan dynasty to the dominance of Juventus, to the Italian Derby in the Champions League final in the 21st century.

It was a glorious time when seven sisters competed for supremacy and were known as the Little World Cup.

In Serie A at that time, even if you did not look at the top three in the north, the stars of other first-tier teams were the unbeatable main force and even the core of many giants at the time.

But they are both in Serie A.

This created the unprecedented heyday and prosperity of Serie A at that time.

It’s just that things are different now. After the Bosman Act, the circulation of players became more convenient, and after the new transfer rules gradually matured, the glory of the Galaxy Battleship and the rise of the Premier League came again.

Roma is no longer the Serie A champion led by Capello, but Spalletti's Roma is still a bit stronger.

At least that's how Fleet Street describes Rome.

Are you willing to challenge Leeds United as a guest and still dare to retain your strength?

But maybe Roma are just unwilling to invest too much in the Europa League.

A team that is fighting for a Champions League spot even if it is not competing for the title in Serie A, of course must concentrate on the league.

Spalletti's starting lineup confused Shen Hao.

Manic Jr., Harja, Perrotta, Taddei, Damiano Tomasi, Dacote...

This is the player outside the backline.

Manic Jr. is outside the forward.

The others are all midfielders. Even if some players can play as an attacking midfielder, they do not have the excellent ability of a second forward.

Do you need to rely on Manic to ride a bicycle to get over Leeds United's defense?

Shen Hao didn't know.

He frowned after the game started.

Rome nearly charged with its entire army.

The style of play is somewhat aggressive.

At least five players in the midfield and frontcourt broke into key areas of Leeds United's defense.

The back line pressure is also more obvious.

Very maneuverable.

But...it's a mess!

Rushing and fighting, it's like a street gangster's fighting routine, with no moves at all.

But the momentum and impact really shocked Leeds United.

Leeds United's defense was in a hurry and frequently cleared the ball from the backcourt.

It was not until 15 minutes after the game that Leeds United established a foothold at their home court and began to organize a decent counterattack.

Mendieta sent a diagonal pass from the right side of the frontcourt.

Claudio Lopez successfully entered the penalty area after countering offside. As soon as he controlled the ball and adjusted, he was tripped to the ground by Mexes who was chasing after him from behind.

The referee blew the whistle decisively and pointed at the penalty spot.

Leeds United fans looked surprised.

"What is Roma doing? Suicide?"

"A group of midfielders want to kill each other in the midfield? Isn't this funny?"

"Shouldn't the Italian team be defensive?"

Leeds United were awarded a penalty.

Mendieta came to take the penalty.

Even if he became the main force, Shen Hao gave Mendieta an absolute core position in the Europa League.

Even if this doesn't satisfy him.

But it can at least ease his mood and mentality.

Mendieta calmly took the penalty and scored it in one stroke.

Fans in white cheered and celebrated.

After applauding, Shen Hao looked at Spalletti thoughtfully.

Italy is known as a tactical paradise.

It is filled with academic teachers and various schools of theoretical and practical analysis and research.

Therefore, looking at world football, Serie A not only has the core style of the chain defense foundation laid half a century ago, but also has the strongest tactical discipline in the world.

It was a belief in a tactical philosophy.

Unwavering respect for the belief that tactics can bring victory to the game.

Therefore, their training sessions take up a high proportion of time. The team may be in a static state during training every day, and the tactics may last more than 2 hours.

Naturally, Shen Hao would not think that Roma came to Leeds United to make fun.

No matter how much he despises the Europa League, Spalletti cannot let the team play as they please.

However, Roma's anti-traditional Italian style of play is indeed very different.

After thinking about it.

For the time being, Shen Hao could not see the specific threat of this style of play, or whether the core element was to use offense instead of defense, or whether he hoped to create murderous opportunities in the frontcourt pressure.

But he had a hunch.

Spalletti is tinkering with new tactics.

Maybe he already has a mature design in theory, but this definitely requires practice, especially for a group of players who have grown up under the influence of defensive counterattack tactics to play non-defensive counterattack core tactics. This will definitely require a long process.

As for what kind of combat effectiveness it would have if this tactic was perfected using Rome's framework and configuration.

Then only time will give the answer.

Spalletti frowned slightly.

Leeds United on the field looked more like a Serie A team, while Roma looked like a Premier League team.

They fight for every inch of ground in the midfield and frontcourt.

Leeds United patiently waited for the perfect counterattack opportunity to appear.

Rome's offensive was vigorous, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light.

A group of midfielders rushing up front can dazzle everyone and indeed lead to some dangerous situations.

But the tragic final kick made all the previous efforts in vain.

Shen Hao felt that Spalletti was really practicing and adapting new tactics.

That would be crazy.

Such a tactic... full of momentum and very strong in following the trend.

But Roma's lineup configuration.

What if they encounter a top team?

Can you still suppress your opponent?

Perhaps Totti's presence can bring better finishing efficiency.

But still the same.

Roma does not have top-level equipment, and this tactic has great limitations.

Before the end of the half, Leeds United were constantly sniped during the counterattack, but Ribery's dribbling shot made goalkeeper Curci save.

Claudio Lopez scored with a complementary shot!

Elland Road was filled with cheers at night.

Countless white-clad fans were excited.

"If we can knock out Roma, we will enter the Europa League quarter-finals!"

"Maybe we really want to compete for the championship on four fronts!"

"The League Cup has been obtained, the FA Cup has entered the semi-finals, and the Europa League is also expected to enter the quarter-finals. In the first season of returning to the Premier League, the team's performance is simply amazing."

Maybe even Roma fans are puzzled by the team's performance.

Their performance was absolutely unorthodox in terms of technique and tactics.

It goes against the traditional style of Italian football.

Spalletti has his own persistence.

In the second half, they returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.

Roma continued to attack hard, and Leeds United did not relax at all in defense, and occasionally took active fouls to interrupt the opponent's rhythm.

After all, Roma players are like a pack of wolves charging up front. Once a continuous offensive rhythm is established, just the continuous shooting may cause the Leeds United defense to "accidentally" concede the ball.

It cannot be ruled out that the opponent may launch a world wave.

Leeds United's counterattack chances are always good.

It's just that the time span of appearance is a bit long.

Claudio Lopez missed a solo opportunity.

The status seems to be declining.

Shen Hao made a decisive substitution.

Batistuta's debut left Roma fans in a daze and with mixed emotions.

Roma has only won three Serie A titles in its history.

There has only been one in the past 20 years. It can be said that a generation has witnessed a championship.

In the third league championship in team history almost five years ago, Batistuta was an important contributor to the championship.

Although he only played for Roma for two and a half years, and after joining Roma and winning the championship in his first season, the team fell into long-term internal strife.

But Roma fans still have mixed feelings about seeing the old God of War on the field again after so many years.

After Batistuta came on the stage, he fired a long shot from outside the penalty area, and Curci made a brilliant save to resolve the danger.

Roma fans looked even more sad.

Because Leeds United fans are cheering for Batistuta.

It can be said that Batistuta belongs to the "pioneers" of the Leeds United tyrant era.

Don't look at Guardiola and Batistuta being reduced to substitutes now.

But whenever they take the field, Leeds fans cheer them on.

Without them, they would not have made great contributions in the Championship.

How could Leeds United be as invincible as it is today?

The only thing they ask of you now is: retire at Leeds United!

Leeds United will remember their great contribution.

Spalletti also made a substitution.

Center Okaka, who is under 18 but already as strong as an ox, made his debut.

Shen Hao paid attention to it, but it was not worth paying too much attention to.

Then Aquilani and Alvarez also appeared.

Obviously, Roma's style of play consumes a lot of physical energy.

If you want to cover the midfield and frontcourt, and go deep into the opponent's penalty area, this means that Roma's midfielders must have b2b physical fitness.

But that's not reality.

So earlier and more substitutions will be the norm.

Roma played lively, Leeds United focused on efficiency.

Batistuta's pass to Ribery was squandered by the latter.

Shen Hao sighed slightly.

After nearly two weeks of buffering and recovery since the end of the Premier League Devils schedule, Leeds United has had a strong period of nearly two months.

Now, the team's status seems to be starting to fluctuate downward again.

This made him decisively replace Ribery.

Before the final stage of the season, Leeds United needs to distribute the players' physical fitness more reasonably.
