Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United suffered two consecutive draws.

After the game, Shen Hao was too lazy to add insult to injury to Liverpool.

Liverpool have had 5 draws and 5 defeats so far this season.

They are obviously going astray on the way to the fourth place.

As for Chelsea and Manchester United, they won at the same time and shortened the gap with Leeds United.

The gap between the top three became 2 points and 1 point.

It's enough to get Fleet Street excited.

The intense competition for the Premier League title makes this league even more eye-catching.

Leeds United visit West Ham United in midweek.

The team's state made Shen Hao more concerned.

Ronaldo being placed on the bench was interpreted by the outside world as Shen Hao was not satisfied with his recent performance.

Lopez started with a single arrow.

Leeds United played a 451 formation.

Deisler and Ze Roberto are two wide midfielders, plus Jamie Redknapp, Davis, and Modric in midfield.

Overall strengthen the intensity and control of the midfield.

The Hammers, led by Alan Pardew, are not as impressive this season as they were after promotion last season.

In the new season, everyone will no longer look at Leeds United the same way they look at newly promoted teams. The same situation also happens to West Ham United.

So the situation we face will be more difficult than last season.

This is often a test for newly promoted teams.

In the first year after being promoted to the top league, they went all out to avoid relegation.

In the second year, it may be downgraded.

Leeds United has nothing to do with relegation.

West Ham United has such a crisis.

Seeing that Leeds United has hidden Rivaldo and Ronaldo.

Ribery is still recovering from injury.

West Ham United has a desire to score points at home.

They are more proactive than Liverpool.

Shen Hao stood on the sidelines and looked at the West Ham United striker.

Carlos Tevez.

Argentinian striker.

The potential is actually as high as 178!

With the team of West Ham United, they can actually get such a striker.

It's outrageous!

Tevez is very capable in singles.

However, without effective team support, Leeds United's overall offense and defense are stronger and their control is stronger.

Naturally, West Ham United played very few threatening attacks.

When the space conditions are still ideal, Leeds United uses the midfield as the foundation and continuously launches threatening offensives. It is simple and neat, and the style of play is not complicated.

Jamie Redknapp first stepped in and scored from a long shot in front of the penalty area.

Later, Deisler assisted Lopez to counter offside and grab the point to expand the lead.

In the second half, Modric also shocked everyone with a long-range shot in front of the penalty area that passed through the fingers of the West Ham United goalkeeper.

Leeds United performed triumphantly at Upton Park.

3: 0!

Alan Pardew is helpless.

Looking at it this way, it would be better to go head-to-head with Leeds United.

But West Ham United is now obviously more concerned about changes in the relegation situation and wants to score points.

Leeds United won and ended their decline.

On the weekend, they visited the Riverside Stadium to challenge Middlesbrough.

Southgate retired in the summer and then switched directly to coaching and took up the pointer at Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough's performance is also okay, at least half a level better than West Ham United, ranking lower in the middle of the league.

Leeds United dispatched all its main players to fight.

Ribery returned to the team and started training with the ball.

But Shen Hao wanted to be on the safe side and let him get back into shape first through training.

The cold weather itself increases the risk of injury for players, preventing him from recurring injuries, so be careful when sailing.

Southgate, who is wearing a suit and tie, is very serious, and Middlesbrough's style of play is also very pragmatic.

However, Leeds United played steadily, and under the background of a stable overall control of the situation, the stars showed their power and made Middlesbrough's defense explode!

Rui Costa sent a wonderful pass, and Ronaldo controlled the ball in the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by defender Woodgate.

The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Ronaldo, who did it himself, succeeded in one fell swoop.

Just 20 minutes into the game, Leeds United broke the deadlock.

After that, he followed the trend and became domineering.

Rivaldo moved from the back of the penalty area to receive Ze Roberto's cross. He did not advance but retreated. After controlling the ball, he retreated and adjusted his left foot to shoot a pleasing inside arc shot. The football outlined a semi-arc fall. Into the upper left corner of the goal!

Surprised all four!

The everlasting Rivaldo made another shot in front of the goal before the end of the half. Ronaldo's shot was saved, but Rivaldo made a fatal shot.

At the end of the half, Leeds United led by three goals.

The fans in white are excited and the team seems to be back on track.

However, Shen Hao knew that this was because the opponent's strength was too different from Leeds United's.

But overall he was satisfied.

A strong team is a strong team.

It’s never about how strong the cards are.

But look at the results.

When playing against weak teams, one can achieve a terrifyingly efficient and stable winning rate, and when playing against strong teams, the overall record will not fall behind.

Then this can be considered a strong team.

Like Liverpool this season, how many teams will be afraid of them?

In the first half, more than half of the league opponents could not win.

How is it considered strong?

It can only be said that the height of the lineup can bring a lot of room for improvement in the record.

But it cannot be said that the results can be determined by looking at the cards.

Leeds United were more stable in the second half.

Southgate was not discouraged.

It was probably expected.

Losing to Leeds United is not a matter of life and death. The gap in strength between the two teams is clear at a glance.

There is no need to hold a grudge and make things difficult for yourself.

Leeds United burst out with new energy after a substitution.

The enterprising Modric and Baines caught Middlesbrough off guard on the court.

The main reason is that most of Middlesbrough's defensive energy is focused on Leeds United's other strong players.

As a result, Baynes frequently made assists to the frontcourt and sent threatening crosses, while Modric actively delivered threatening balls.

Leeds United's striker is more like passively eating pie.

Ronaldo responded to Baines's cross and deftly shot in front of the goal to score twice.

Deisler, who came on as a substitute, also blasted a world wave from the right area in front of the penalty area.

Leeds United slaughtered Middlesbrough 5-0 away from home.

After two consecutive draws, he quickly won two consecutive victories.

Chelsea drew with Arsenal in this round and fell behind again.

Manchester United continues to be 1 point behind Leeds United, which is closely followed and biting tightly.

Chelsea fell behind again to Leeds United by 4 points.

Leeds United will play in the final match of the Champions League group stage in midweek.

Shen Hao led his team to Portugal.

None of the main players came.

A full substitute lineup was used as a guest to challenge Sporting Lisbon.

Redondo, DeBoer, Kilgallon, and Baines formed the back line, with Sullivan guarding the goal.

Modric, Simeone and Rakitic form a midfield three.

Batistuta, Deisler, and Ze Roberto formed the trident.

Before arriving, Shen Hao revealed Leeds United's rotation at the press conference.

It's just that people didn't expect it to be so thorough.

Sporting Lisbon wants to move to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

Leeds United took the initiative to lower their combat power to be a guest, and of course they welcomed them with both hands.

As long as they can beat Leeds United, they can finish third in the group.

Paulo Bento is full of confidence.

Shen Hao has been sitting on the coaching bench since the beginning of the game.

Leeds United won the first 5 rounds and their record was brilliant.

As for the fans, they are so arrogant that they want to win six consecutive victories to advance.

This kind of thing, combined with the fact that Leeds United is about to face a devilish Premier League schedule.

Shen Hao still didn't force it.

Control the team at your own pace.

After the start of the game, Sporting Lisbon pressed forward with their troops, creating a strong posture of wanting to win a battle.

Leeds United passively shrank its defense and launched a counterattack.

Although there are occasional dangers in the defense, Sporting Lisbon's finishing touches and ability to seize opportunities are really unflattering.

Daisler and Ze Roberto are in strong form, and Modric and Rakitic's midfield cooperation supports the backbone of the team's situation.

Leeds United's threat of quick counterattack continues to soar.

As the game approached 25 minutes, Sporting Lisbon's inability to attack for a long time gave their fans a premonition of something bad.

Leeds United quickly counterattacked and reached the frontcourt. Modric passed the ball to the onrushing Deisler. The latter stopped and spiked the ball, changed direction and cut inside, then accelerated and rushed into the right rib of the penalty area and succeeded.

The faces of Sporting Lisbon fans were filled with horror.

Deisler did not greedy for credit and decisively sent a cross.

Batistuta outflanked the center and pushed the ball hard enough, but the football rolled into the lower left corner of the goal.

Leeds United fans cheered wildly.

"Wow! The old God of War Batistuta scored again!"

"He will turn 38 in less than three months! Yet he is still scoring goals in the Champions League!"

"It's true that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure."

"Hahaha, if you want to put it that way, we have a lot of baby bumps in our family."

Even Shen Hao smiled and stood up to applaud Batistuta.

Shen Hao has always been extremely generous and respectful to those meritorious veterans who came to the team during his early days of coaching Leeds United, accompanied Leeds United from the Championship to the Premier League, and went through the club's dark era.

Guardiola wanted to be a coach after retiring. Shen Hao not only gave him a chance, but also entrusted him with important tasks.

As long as Leeds United makes substitutions and arranges tactical requirements, Guardiola will communicate with the players.

During daily training, Guardiola communicated with Shen Hao anytime and anywhere, and Shen Hao never showed any impatience.

He is like a senior apprentice with special treatment.

As for Batistuta, Redondo, and De Boer, as long as they did not want to retire, Shen Hao had never thought of expelling them.

Saving that little salary doesn't mean much to Leeds United today.

It's better to let them finish the last part of their career comfortably.

Moreover, the experience they can impart to young players is actually quite important.

Sporting Lisbon fans were dumbfounded.

Paolo Bento was stunned.

It was like a bolt from the blue, and my mind was completely blank.

Leeds United are not the main force!

Well...

Maybe they didn't go and see how Bayern Munich failed at Elland Road in the last round.

The situation has changed.

It may not be easy for Sporting Lisbon to advance to the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

Leeds United are not serious about murder.

If Sporting Lisbon chooses to be patient and deal with Leeds United, it cannot be said that they will definitely win, but at least they will not lose the ball so suddenly.

But Sporting Lisbon underestimated Leeds United's new and old lineup.

It still has a certain lethality.

And now they are completely panicked.

He launched a fierce attack eagerly, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Leeds United took the lead and the team's morale was high.

A group of veterans are burning their little remaining energy and enjoying the passion brought by the field.

10 minutes later, Leeds United's quick counterattack penetrated the left side of the frontcourt.

Zelberta chose to pass the ball back in an inverted triangle on the left side of the penalty area.

Modric rushed up and shot furiously.

The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

Sporting Lisbon fans almost wanted to hug each other and tremble.

Paulo Bento's mentality exploded.

Pacing back and forth in the coaching area, he was unable to express his inner fear and shock.

Leeds United are two goals ahead!

Not many fans came to the away game, but they were full of enthusiasm on the winter night.

Before the end of the half, Leeds United attacked head-on in a positional battle.

Modric, Rakitic, and Baines played a triangle pass and cut cooperation after the offensive advanced to the frontcourt.

But at this time, Modric retreated again. After receiving the ball in a loose environment, he adjusted his direction and sent a long diagonal pass to the front and right area of ​​the penalty area.

This transfer of the ball is eye-catching.

Excellent offensive organizers have the overall view and passing skills.

Deisler cut inside and directly moved the ball with his instep to change direction and rush forward. After entering the penalty area, he decisively passed the ball across the middle.

Batistuta stopped the ball before the penalty spot and was intercepted by the defender with his legs stretched out. He calmly changed the direction of the ball and then connected with the shot.

I realized it, but my body couldn't keep up.

After all, this level of competition is not something that can be won slowly.

But Batistuta, who slipped under his feet and began to fall to the ground, still used his right foot to sweep the ball towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Ricardo made the ultimate save, but his blocking palm missed the mark a little, and the football rolled into the goal from the edge of his fingertips!

Leeds United fans continue to cheer for the old God of War.

Although the goal was barely scored, it was not clean enough.

It was obvious that Batistuta's physical condition was no longer good.

But as long as the ball is scored, the fans will be even more excited!

Batistuta didn't mind that he couldn't hit the "Bati goal". When he got up and ran to the sidelines to celebrate, he smiled and raised his machine gun gesture and started shooting.

"Batistuta, this is so emotional. For him, one game is less than one game."

"Yeah, it's inexplicably sad. Although the news of his retirement has not yet come out, at the end of this season, at the age of 38, it may be difficult for him to play for Leeds United again."

"I hope the team can win some more important honors this season so that the old God of War can retire with glory!"

Sporting Lisbon fans were completely numb.

home field.

0: 3!

Paulo Bento is already doubting life.

Halftime is over.

The Sporting Lisbon generals walked towards the players tunnel in a daze.

Shen Hao stayed in the field to kill time.

In fact, when he came to Portugal, he couldn't help but be distracted.

Shen Guoqiang and Li Fen in Portimao.

Li Fen is expected to give birth at the end of the month.

He is about to welcome a biological brother.

I am also worried about whether Li Fen will be in danger during childbirth.

He was fearless in society, but for the first time, he was enveloped in uneasy emotions.

It's just that he didn't show it externally.

As for his half-brother...he still has no sense of expectation.

Maybe only if Li Fen survives the delivery safely, Shen Hao will feel relieved and seriously think about how to fulfill his brother's responsibility.
