Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Liverpool obviously committed a lot of fouls in defense.

Although Leeds United's rhythm was interrupted.

But because Liverpool's offense was unable to threaten, Leeds United was still able to play wave after wave of offense.

The season has entered the final sprint, and Leeds United players are focused and fully committed.

It’s been a month since I heard any news about Ronaldo going to a nightclub.

Jamie Redknapp continues to run relentlessly across the pitch.

Rui Costa kept looking around to assess the situation while running without the ball.

Candela sprinted back to defense after every assist. After recovering from his breath, he looked for a good opportunity for the next assist.

Benitez's mood became increasingly heavy on the sidelines.

Leeds United's overall strength is at its strongest at the end of the season every year!

This is outrageous.

Logically speaking, since they have many veterans, their strength should fluctuate even more, and the strength of the veterans should decline.

But Leeds United's strength in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons was able to reach extremely terrifying levels by the end of the season.

It seems that after a season of playing for those veterans, only their physical fitness will decline.

Abilities in other areas have increased instead of falling!

Before the end of the first half, Gerrard brought down Ronaldo who took the initiative to retreat in defense.

After the foul, Gerrard took the initiative to pull Ronaldo up. The two of them clapped their hands and didn't take it to heart.

Rui Costa, however, ran to the spot where the foul was committed and tried to take a quick free kick.

Liverpool's defense suddenly became tense.

Rui Costa knew that if he passed the ball forward and delivered a threatening ball, he would probably be called back by the referee.

So he took a step to the football, turned around and passed the ball back!

Since it was a return pass, there was no need for the referee to call it back.

Sure enough, the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Acquiesce to Leeds United's quick free kick.

Jamie Redknapp received the ball directly and passed it diagonally to the wing.

Candela received the ball from the wing and immediately started a 45-degree pass.

Liverpool's defense was afraid of Rui Costa's quick free kick and subconsciously tightened the defense in the middle, naturally blocking the nearest Ronaldo.

But Rui Costa chose to pass the ball back.

Candela's cross quickly flew into the penalty area.

Liverpool's defense retreated again, but no one could block Rivaldo on the right side of the penalty area!

All Liverpool fans suddenly looked horrified.

Agger rushed towards Rivaldo, while Carragher ran towards the goal and tried to block part of the shot angle with his body.

Rivaldo stopped the football flying towards his chest and then, without letting the football fall to the ground, directly took off his feet and volleyed sideways!

Worried about masturbating, I deliberately lowered the angle of the shot, and then the football flew downwards, hit the turf in the small penalty area, bounced up, and flew toward the center of the goal.

Reina lowered his center of gravity to save.

Bounce the earth!

Goalkeepers are tricky to deal with.

He moved almost passively and raised his hand to block the flying football.

Rivaldo's shot was turned away!

But the football blocked by Reina flew towards the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Mascherano and Alonso quickly rushed towards the spot where the football landed.

But Ronaldo was one step ahead of schedule.

He used his forehead to relieve the force of the flying football. The football bounced forward, and he followed the trend.

From behind, Mascherano and Alonso gritted their teeth and accelerated to press.

Carragher came out of the small penalty area and advanced to intercept.

Ronaldo swung his legs to volley the ball before it hit the ground.

Carragher directly transferred his body weight to block it with his body!

The next second, Ronaldo spiked the ball past him!

Alonso and Mascherano also failed to press.

Reina had already stood up and quickly rushed towards Ronaldo to save again.

After Ronaldo broke through Carragher, he poked his left foot forward with his toe.

High-end shooters never stick to shooting techniques.

It's so unpretentious, there's not even an obvious movement of swinging a leg to shoot.

The football quickly rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Reina was a little slow to land the save.

The football rolled into Liverpool's goal first!

The Elland Road stadium burst into cheers, and Ronaldo showed a happy smile and ran to the sidelines to enjoy the cheers from the fans.

"The ball went in! Ronaldo scored another victory for Leeds United! He broke out of the siege with a clever smash, and his natural shot was superb!"

"In the first half, Leeds United played an absolutely strong style at home, but our physical consumption may be an issue that we must pay attention to."

"I believe Brother Hao has a plan in this regard. He will never fight an unprepared battle!"

Leeds United leads Liverpool 2:0.

The fans in white could not help but fall into madness.

I can’t help but look forward to the Champions League final!

Benitez frowned on the sidelines.

In this duel between masters, Leeds United is still superior.

In addition to being stronger than Liverpool in terms of overall hard power, what is even more terrifying is Shen Hao's strategizing.

Grab the start at home and constantly attack Liverpool's defense at the expense of burning physical energy.

Even though Liverpool tried their best to interrupt Leeds United's rhythm, they still couldn't stop the new 3r of the white trident!

Yes, when Leeds United reached the Champions League semi-finals.

European media focused on Leeds United, calling their striker the new 3r!

Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ribery, the initials of their names on their jerseys are all r.

Compared with the Brazilian Dream 5r that swept the world 3 years ago.

Leeds United's new 3r lacks imagination and endless talent, but has more discipline and accumulated experience that European football advocates.

Shen Hao clapped his hands and applauded the goal.

Then he fell into deep thought again.

Leading by two goals.

Actually...that's almost enough.

Just Liverpool's striker, trying to score Leeds United's goal twice?

I'm afraid it's more reliable to expect Alonso and Gerrard to take long-range shots.

He glanced in Benitez's direction.

Perhaps at this time, it will be more convenient for him to figure out the opponent's mentality to face the next game.

The first half ended quickly.

Liverpool's generals are disgraced and they need to adjust, both in terms of play style and morale.

Shen Hao walked quickly back to the locker room.

He decided to take a gamble.

Returning to the locker room, Shen Hao immediately made tactical adjustments. There was not much content, but he needed to emphasize tactical discipline.

On the night of Leeds United's last Champions League match of the season, the halftime show was particularly hot.

There is a lineup of a hundred people.

The dynamic, hot and even sexy dance moves made the Leeds United fans who were already excited about the two-goal lead even more enjoyable!

Many Leeds United fans were squirming in the stands as if they were immersed in a grand party.

In the box stand, Zhao Xin also danced passionately.

Chen Hao laughed heartily on the sidelines.

Although the halftime show is now managed by Chris Jones.

But he will check the quality and content.

When the grand halftime show ended, fireworks were set off from the top of the stadium.

Brilliant patterns blossomed in the sky.

Hundreds of young and beautiful cheerleaders with yellow, white and black skin colors in the field uniformly expressed their thanks to the stands around them with elegant movements.

Leeds fans applauded.

Thank you to the girl group in white for the wonderful performance.

Maybe Liverpool fans have no time to appreciate it now, let alone enjoy it.

When both players return to the court.

Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions.

Shen Hao was quite surprised.

He expected that Benitez might make a substitution.

But he didn't expect that Bellamy would be replaced instead of Zenden.

Crouch appears.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Hao understood Benitez's intention.

Leeds United did not give Liverpool enough space to counterattack today.

Bellamy would be useful if Leeds pressed forward.

But it was also obvious in the first half that Bellamy was unable to play his role.

While Cenden cannot threaten a personal breakthrough, he can still settle for the second best, hoping that he can display the most basic ability of a wide player, which is to cross!

After Crouch's appearance, whether he is bombing from a high point or acting as a fulcrum on the front line, he can give Liverpool's offense a more certain structure.

In response, Shen Hao stood still and did not signal any new adjustment instructions to the players.

No need.

He was more curious about how Liverpool would react when they saw Leeds United's attitude in the second half.

The second half of the game started.

Crouch played center and Kuyt went to the wing.

Liverpool has adjusted its forward structure.

After the game started, Benitez couldn't help but frown again.

Leeds United shortened their formation and compressed space in the midfield and backfield.

The offensive method has become simplified. It is obviously a simple attack in positional warfare, patiently waiting for the counterattack space to appear, and then focusing on the attack.

Benitez suddenly realized that the game situation had become extremely difficult.

Shen Hao's adjustment was very utilitarian.

But with the temptation of Champions League final tickets, what about utilitarianism?

If starting to set up the bus now can ensure that he will advance to the finals, he will not hesitate to set up the bus.

However, it is obvious that setting up a bus and minimizing the offensive intensity is not the safest in his coaching experience, and once it overturns, it will be very difficult to counterattack.

The personnel remain unchanged and only the posture is adjusted, which is enough.

Leeds United does not like to fight in the position and does not entangle with its opponents.

Franck Ribery, Ronaldo, and Rivaldo almost all shot from outside the penalty area.

The fans in white were puzzled.

Why are we starting to scratch lottery tickets too?

Liverpool's offense fell into a quagmire and repeatedly hit the wall.

It's hard to even get a decent shot in the frontcourt.

The main reason is that they don't dare to invest too much offensive force.

Apart from the front three, Gerrard is the only one to step in in the midfield.

Alonso's own tendency to push forward is relatively low.

This makes it very difficult for Liverpool to attack Leeds United's complete and tight back line and mid- and long-term zone defense.

Even if Crouch serves as the fulcrum, he can provide too little coordination.

If Zenden and Kuyt want to cross comfortably from the wing, they need full-back support to create opportunities.

But the full-backs dare not assist frequently.

Once there are few defenders in the backcourt, you can imagine how terrifying the impact of the Leeds United Trident will be.

And there is no doubting Leeds United's ability to deliver mid-range passes.

The deeper the position of Rui Costa, the through-ball master who delivers threatening balls, may make the opponent relax their vigilance and regret it too late.

Shen Hao watched the battle patiently.

He used the two-goal lead as leverage.

The bet is that Liverpool will be unable to resist a golden away goal.

A two-round knockout round.

Plus the Champions League away goals rule.

Liverpool don't need to fight for a draw at Elland Road.

Just one goal is enough!

In this way, they return to home and can eliminate Leeds United 1:0.

And if Liverpool wants to fight for this golden goal, Leeds United's counterattack will also have the opportunity to further expand the two-goal lead!

But Benitez is obviously cautious.

No tactical instructions were given to Liverpool to attack.

Take ten thousand steps back.

If Liverpool doesn't want to be like Chelsea, they can't lose everything in the first leg.

Especially on Leeds United territory.

If Liverpool wants to fight hard, it would be wiser to choose Anfield as the venue for the decisive battle.

If you lose the ball and go up top, that is definitely not the performance of a strong team.

On the stage of the Champions League semi-finals, the pursuit of passion will not be the main theme.

For example, Leeds United can attack and retreat.

Move forward and retreat freely, retract and release in a controlled manner.

In the eyes of Benitez, it is not surprising that such an opponent has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And he definitely has the potential to win the championship.

In other words, Leeds United, which has a central axis system that brings together Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Rui Costa, Roy Keane, Stam, and Toldo, only needs the players to show their strength without stretching their hips.

Even though they only have the strength of top players and first-line stars, with the blessing of experience, the strong impact of rising stars like Franck Ribery, and the hard work of Jamie Redknapp and Candela .

Leeds United are certainly qualified to challenge for the championship.

The game time came to 70 minutes.

On the contrary, the scene showed an eerie calm.

Both teams did not reduce their intensity, but their aggressiveness declined.

Liverpool is unable to attack.

There is no threat.

On Leeds United's side, Rivaldo's physical fitness began to decline.

The power is naturally reduced.

The first half was very exhausting, and it is understandable that the veterans were weak in the second half.

Shen Hao took the initiative to make substitutions and adjustments.

Benitez stared with concern.

Let’s see if Shen Hao’s substitution will give Liverpool an opportunity.

Davis and Ze Roberto both appeared.

They replaced Rui Costa and Rivaldo.

Leeds United changes 442.

Only Ribery and Ronaldo are left on the front line.

The midfield is full of muscles.

After seeing Shen Hao's substitution, Benitez felt even heavier.

Just the four great players in Leeds United’s midfield.

Davies, Jamie Redknapp, Ze Roberto, Roy Keane.

Liverpool may find it difficult for even Gerrard to play his role next.

Don’t even count on other players.

In fact, after Leeds United took the two-goal lead, the Whites already had the strategic commanding heights.

Now Shen Hao is confident.

As long as he doesn't let his guard down.

Leeds United is really setting up a bus, and there is a high probability of blocking Liverpool from the Champions League final!

Benitez also made a substitution.

Pennant came on to replace Zenden.

Watching the substitutions of my own team.

Liverpool fans sighed.

"Leeds United's substitution is star for star, what about us?"

"Common people should be replaced by civilians..."

Can't blame Liverpool fans for laughing at themselves.

In fact, Liverpool has never been a star-studded team.

Most of the time, there are about three stars who support the appearance, and then the remaining players are between the first line and the top.

To say first-tier is low-key, but to say top-notch is not enough.

And looking at Leeds United now, Fleet Street says they are the new Galacticos in European football.

Not as gorgeous as Real Madrid back then.

But it is definitely more dazzling than other teams!
