Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United defeated Birmingham 2-0 at home.

Birmingham's relegation situation is worrying.

Leeds United continues to maintain a 3-point advantage in leading the standings.

Chelsea coach Mourinho later reviewed the game between Leeds United and Birmingham and couldn't help but sigh.

"Steve Bruce is so confused. He only thinks about relegation, but never thinks that the championship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Leeds United. How could Shen be willing to only score 1 point at home?"

But Mourinho also began to really be wary of Shen Hao.

To be able to maintain such a stable mentality at the critical stage of the championship, it can be said that playing against Birmingham was a desperate move.

Shen Hao definitely has a big heart to compete for the championship!

...

After Leeds United advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League, their schedule has undergone some adjustments.

Because they also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

There is no fighting in the middle of the week.

The team can rest and recuperate.

mid-April.

Leeds United traveled to the northeast of England to challenge Newcastle United as a guest.

Souness has already left get out of class midway.

The current manager of Newcastle United is Glenn Roeder.

This coach does not have a particularly dazzling resume in his coaching career.

This is completely an excessive choice made by Newcastle United after denying Souness' coaching ability and record.

However, as a defender, he pays special attention to defense.

At least Newcastle United played a defensive counterattack style technically and tactically.

Leeds United was able to compete with Birmingham mentally in the last game to see who couldn't hold back, but not this time.

Newcastle United's coaching change is like a knife change.

Even though the signings of Irving and Luke caused them heavy losses.

But relying on the team's existing strength, it still achieved a good record under the leadership of Rodel.

After regaining his courage, he has jumped to the upper reaches of the standings.

There is no hope of entering the European competition next season, and they have entered a state of having no desires and no desires early.

Leeds United hit the ground running at St James' Park.

There is no temptation.

Rivaldo, who had been resting for almost half a month, was full of energy. He made a solo breakthrough on the right side of the frontcourt at the beginning and created an explosive effect.

The delivery of the cross from outside the right rib of the penalty area was wonderful.

Vieri outflanked the ball in the middle and volleyed, facing goalkeeper Given to complete the goal!

Leeds United fans were ecstatic.

"5 minutes! In the first 5 minutes, Leeds United got off to a fantastic start!"

"Rivaldo's solo blasting ability is really strong!"

"Perhaps we should say happy 34th birthday to Rivaldo in advance!"

Glenn Roeder looked calm and was not panicked by losing the ball.

He gestured to the team to hold on.

Leeds United, however, refused to give up and pursued the victory.

The indiscriminate bombardment in the frontcourt sent Newcastle United's defense flying.

In the 23rd minute of the game, it was Rivaldo again. After passing the ball in an inverted triangle on the right side of the penalty area, Jamie Redknapp shifted the attack to the left.

Ribery made an emergency stop while cutting in from the wing and broke through from the outside into the left flank of the penalty area. He took advantage of the depth of the offense and then made a pass.

Vieri ran too fast in the middle and when the football fell backwards, Rivaldo volleyed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

"Wow! Another victory for Leeds United!"

"Rivaldo is really full of energy after having some rest."

"With two goals scored in 20 minutes, the Whites are sure to conquer St. James' Park today."

Glenn Rodel looked a little ugly.

Leeds United's violent attack is indeed nerve-wracking.

Magpies fans were trembling in the stands and dared not say a word.

At this time, Shen Hao waved his hand and asked the team to withdraw for defensive counterattack.

Then the audience felt as if the climax had subsided.

The scene became a little dull.

Leeds United tighten the fence.

Focus on disrupting Newcastle United's offensive organization.

Glenn Roeder came to his senses.

"Leeds United got off to a great start today...let them finish!"

Newcastle United are now in a dilemma.

Taking the initiative to strengthen the offensive will give Leeds United a more ideal counterattack environment.

But if we don’t step up our offensive.

The two-goal deficit may not be reversed.

Shen Hao was calm and relaxed at this time.

In the sprint stage of the season, Leeds United certainly does not pursue maximizing victory in every game.

That will just tire them out.

Now Bai Yi focuses on being pragmatic!

The first half is over.

Leeds United held a two-goal lead and took the initiative to control the rhythm of the game. The situation was definitely in their favor.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Shen Hao is also looking forward to Glenn Rodell coming to fight for his life.

But Glenn Roeder wasn't taking any bold risks.

The pace of the game was always suppressed by Leeds United.

After 65 minutes of the game, Shen Hao also replaced Ribery and Jamie Redknapp with Guardiola and Mendieta.

Use the team's possession of the ball to wear down your opponents.

Newcastle United was unable to control the ball for a long time and naturally could not launch an offensive.

This is very different from the traditional style of English football, and naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Magpies fans. They burst into boos and mocked Leeds United for their lack of offensive courage.

"What's the point of passing the ball all the time? Isn't it just a waste of time?"

"You have the ability to attack!"

"Farke, Leeds United are really bad!"

Leeds United fans couldn't care less.

They mocked Newcastle United in turn.

"Last summer, you signed more than 4000 million pounds. What exactly did you buy? Where are the reinforcements?"

"I can rely on Shearer to survive this season, but next season? Who can I rely on?"

When Newcastle United was ready to make a move in the last 15 minutes of the game, they had to take a counterattack stance and launch a fierce attack on Leeds United's defense.

Leeds United played smooth, fast and delicate passing and cutting cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt.

Guardiola, Mendieta, and Candela penetrated Newcastle United's midfield defense with their mercury-like passing and cutting.

The offensive was transferred in the front area of ​​the penalty area, and Rivaldo cut in and sent a cross.

Claudio Lopez, who had just come on as a substitute, outflanked and easily pushed the ball into the goal.

"The teamwork is so beautiful, maybe Mendieta and Rivaldo can coexist!"

"Yes, it's a dreamy combination and pleasing to the eye."

"3:0, there is no suspense for Leeds United to win this game."

Glenn Roeder was helpless and Newcastle United players were disheartened on the field.

When the final whistle sounded, Shen Hao turned and walked towards Glenn Rodell for a routine post-game handshake.

Refreshed, he maintains a confident and slightly cool demeanor.

He is the focus of the camera and is being discussed in Fleet Street as to whether he will become the creator of the biggest miracle in Premier League history!

The youngest championship coach.

The myth creator of Leeds United's newly promoted team winning the championship.

And it may also be superimposed on the undefeated season!

"There are four rounds left in the league. We now have the upper hand, but the tests and challenges we face cannot be ignored. There are different battles waiting for us in the Europa League, FA Cup."

Shen Hao reiterated the situation faced by Leeds United after the game.

He was not blindly optimistic.

Nor did he use spiritual victory methods to paralyze himself.

Leeds United's lead at the top of the table remains 3 points.

Many people place their hopes of sniping Leeds United on Arsenal.

But the premise is that Chelsea can still maintain the pressure to catch up with Leeds United before the final game.

...

Leeds United traveled to Romania in the middle of the week to challenge the Romanian giants Steaua Bucharest.

Steaua Bucharest is a regular in the Champions League and has also won the Champions League.

When it comes to heritage, Steaua Bucharest has more to say than Leeds United.

It's just that the economic development of the country where it is located makes the team's popularity not match its previous historical record.

Time passes.

Although Steaua Bucharest is still active on the European stage, its current strength is not as good as before.

The team building framework is also based on the strongest players who stay and work hard in the local area, plus some actual warriors.

Leeds United surprised Fleet Street with their visiting starting line-up.

Shen Hao started the rotation.

Very thorough!

Except for goalkeeper Toldo, there are no main players visible.

This makes Fleet Street torture their souls.

"If Leeds United doesn't show its full strength to challenge when we reach the semi-finals, then why should we fight to reach the semi-finals?"

"Mr. Shen doesn't think that Leeds United's lineup can win the Romanian giants away from home, right?"

Leeds United, who came to the away game, entered a state of extreme anti-counterattack at the beginning.

Except for Mendieta and Batistuta, other players are compressing space in the midfield and backfield, guarding key positions.

Steaua Bucharest don't dare to push the envelope, they are certainly full of ambitions for the European war.

We hope to reach the Europa League final and spread our reputation.

The game was very tight.

Knowing that Leeds United was going to counterattack, Steaua Bucharest would not be easily fooled.

The scene is intense, but not exciting.

Shen Hao was pacing the sidelines, looking a little distracted.

Because the content of the game is lackluster.

No matter how focused he is, he can't change the fundamentals.

Steaua Bucharest's caution also made it difficult for the game to show excitement.

The first half of the game came to an end.

Shen Hao sighed helplessly.

He hoped that Steaua Bucharest could speed up the attack in the first half.

At least at this time, Leeds United's counterattack threat is definitely the greatest.

After the game enters the second half, Leeds United's overall physical condition will be tested.

Especially on the front line, the old God of War may not be able to sustain the explosive power of sprinting after 70 minutes.

Since Romania is in Eastern Europe and England is in Western Europe, the distance is quite far. When Shen Hao led the team this time, he basically didn’t bring any of the main members and only brought three substitutes.

Substitute goalkeepers Sullivan, Kelly, Davis.

Gone.

If one of the forwards really got injured and couldn't hold on, he wouldn't even think about making substitutions.

The second half of the game continued the intense stalemate of the first half.

available over time.

Leeds United's counterattack became increasingly less threatening.

As long as Steaua Bucharest can contain Mendieta, they can basically ensure that the defense will sit back and relax.

When the game came to the last 15 minutes, Steaua Bucharest took the initiative to speed up the offensive rhythm and increase the frequency of attacks.

Shen Hao used up two substitutions.

Kelly and Davis came on to try to strengthen the defense.

Leeds United don't even have a regular striker anymore.

This is the rhythm to maintain a tie.

If you can escape from the away game, even if you don't score an away goal, it is absolutely acceptable.

But what to be afraid of.

Leeds United lost the offensive threat, making Steaua Bucharest even more unscrupulous.

The offensive became like a violent storm.

Constantly testing Leeds' defense.

When the game was about to enter stoppage time, Steaua Bucharest finally broke through Leeds United's defense!

The home fans were ecstatic.

"It's not easy!"

"Is this the level of Premier League leader Leeds United?"

"I hope that in the second round, Leeds United will continue to carry forward today's defensive spirit and only defend, not attack!"

The Leeds United fans who came to the away game were certainly disappointed.

However, Shen Hao seemed very calm when facing the loss of the ball.

He gestures to the team.

Stay calm.

Don't panic and get hit by your opponent in the end.

Steaua Bucharest certainly wanted to seize the final injury time to expand their lead.

But they were disappointed.

Leeds United stubbornly resisted their offensive and the city gate was not lost twice.

competition is over.

Steaua Bucharest 1:0 Leeds United.

Shen Hao was in a peaceful mood.

Speaking to the media after the game, he said frankly: "With a two-leg home and away game format, we certainly have a chance to comeback when we return to our home court."

At this time Fleet Street probably guessed Shen Hao's strategic plan.

A two-round contest.

Leeds United only plays at home!

The away game is completely defensive.

Conceding fewer goals can lay a not too bad foundation for a home comeback.

The Premier League starts fast in midweek.

Leeds United went to play in the Europa League.

Chelsea defeated Everton 3-0 at home.

The defending champions have tied the points gap with Leeds United!

Leeds United have one game in hand.

Although in theory, Leeds United's lead can be reestablished as long as they don't lose in the make-up game.

However, the psychological pressure brought by the public opinion atmosphere cannot be ignored.

"Leeds United will suffer the consequences! The impact of multi-front operations will make them about to lose the top spot!"

"Chelsea goes all out to defend the league title and has more potential than Leeds United!"

"Mourinho is waiting for Leeds United to collapse in the gutter."

Leeds United returned to their home country to rest for two days.

Come to neutral Villa Park this weekend to compete with Middlesbrough for a ticket to the FA Cup final.

Although Middlesbrough's performance in the league has dropped significantly from last season's ranking.

But it has basically been declared successful in relegation.

They entered the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the Europa League, but were completely defeated by their opponents in the first round against Sevilla.

Even so, McLaren received unanimous praise from Fleet Street.

Praise him for leading a not very strong team but being able to achieve good results.

Eriksson, the coach of the Three Lions, has been exposed to many scandals in recent years.

During the sex scandal and being fished by Fleet Street, he took the initiative to reveal a lot of inside information. He also expressed his willingness to coach at a Premier League club invested by the sponsor, and also guaranteed that Beckham could be persuaded to return to the Premier League from Real Madrid, etc.

England fans can't stand him anymore.

So there were rumors that Eriksson would leave after leading the team after the 2006 World Cup.

As the first foreign coach in the history of the Three Lions team, unless he can complete the counterattack in the World Cup in Germany, his coaching will definitely be labeled as a failure.

After he leaves office, the choice of successor will become a hot topic.

The results of the local coaches in England are not satisfactory, so they can only choose the generals from the dwarfs.

Middlesbrough coach McClaren is now very vocal.

Looking at the current coaches in England, it is true that his coaching record is the best.

Especially the performance of leading Middlesbrough in the cup competition is eye-catching.

The national team stage is all about the knockout system of cup competitions!

Therefore, McLaren has become a popular candidate to join the Three Lions.
