Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The turmoil at Stamford Bridge led to Fleet Street's immediate death sentence.

They will lose their qualifications for the championship this season.

Whether it is as pessimistic as the media predicted, at least the head coach of the championship group will not draw conclusions easily.

That's too hasty.

Anything can happen in the green world.

If you blindly judge the situation at the slightest sign of trouble, you will surely suffer the consequences.

Leeds United has won consecutive victories on multiple fronts, and the white shirts who are on the right track have returned to the public eye with an invincible attitude.

Leeds United, which has reached fourth place in the league, will face the Red Army Liverpool at home this weekend.

This is a much-anticipated big5 civil war.

Before the season started, Fleet Street predicted Liverpool would make a splash in the league this season.

The reason is that their forward line has been targeted and strengthened, and they can also focus on the league.

In August, Liverpool's performance was as strong as they predicted, and it even reached the top spot that Liverpool fans dream of.

But in September, Liverpool seemed to be brought back to its original shape.

In the past two rounds of the league, there were two consecutive draws and no results. Not only did Liverpool hand over the top spot to Arsenal, but it also made the outside world suspect that Torres was just a flash in the pan in the Premier League and would actually be Liverpool's parallel import king in the summer.

The media will follow the wind and will not change its stubbornness.

Shen Hao attaches great importance to this game.

After all, it is a civil war between championship groups.

Liverpool is only 1 point ahead of Leeds United, which means that Leeds United's "Northern Expedition" has the opportunity to continue to expand its territory and move one step closer to the top spot.

However, after studying Liverpool's recent game data, Shen Hao felt a mess.

Benitez's team seems to have not yet determined the true core technical and tactical system.

What is certain is that Benitez is more pragmatic for the sake of record and attaches great importance to defense.

However, the team's offensive configuration has not stabilized, which makes Shen Hao's targeted deployment impossible.

However, no matter from the psychological level or the history of past battles, Leeds United will definitely be the stronger side. Excessive looking at the opponent's face will inevitably weaken the initiative.

The training ended the day before the game, the pre-match preparation meeting was held, and Shen Hao was preparing to attend the pre-match press conference.

Ronaldo ran over and called him with a smile.

"Boss, please stay."

Shen Hao stopped and turned around, asking curiously: "Is something wrong?"

Ronaldo smiled broadly and said, "I formally invite you to my wedding."

Shen Hao:...

The alien is about to enter the grave of love for the third time.

Shen Hao actually thought in his heart that this was a good choice.

After all, after getting married, the frequency of going out to fool around will definitely decrease. I don’t dare to say that it will be eliminated, but at least it will not be unscrupulous.

"When?"

"The initial date is after Christmas."

Shen Hao:...

Last Christmas, Shen Hao gave Ronaldo a holiday.

This makes it possible for aliens to have no concept of the Premier League's devilish schedule.

Shen Hao smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid I don't have time."

Ronaldo was stunned when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "Christmas vacation..."

Suddenly he reacted.

There is no Christmas holiday in the Premier League.

This is awkward.

Shen Hao patted his arm and said with a smile: "Congratulations, even if I can't attend the wedding in person, I will give you a gift."

Ronaldo scratched his head, looking unhappy.

"I really hope you can come to my wedding."

“But I also really don’t have time around Christmas, and that’s probably the busiest time of year at work.”

After Shen Hao said this with a smile, he turned around and attended the pre-match press conference.

Ronaldo felt melancholy for a while.

Shen Hao is not only a very outstanding coach in his heart, but also his noble person.

Allowing his career to rebound astonishingly at the lowest point in his career.

And his personal physical condition also makes him very satisfied.

Therefore, at important moments in his life, he naturally expected to receive on-site blessings from Shen Hao.

...

In the past three seasons, the Premier League champions have won more than 90 points.

In addition to the increase in the number of teams competing for the Premier League, the changes in the Premier League's structure are also reflected in the increase in championships.

Liverpool's loss of an excellent start to the season has left fans worried.

Even if there is a slight fluctuation in the record, the mentality will also take a turn for the worse, which is a sign of lack of confidence, but Liverpool's history of not winning a championship in the Premier League era does make it difficult for Liverpool fans to be confident.

Game day arrives.

The Elland Road stadium was packed, and the huge crowds reflected the popularity of the football market.

Benitez remains meticulous.

Shen Hao, who was wearing a slim coat, received enthusiastic cheers from Leeds fans when he entered the stadium.

He stood on the sidelines with one hand in his pocket, and his calm demeanor revealed a fearless and aloof aura.

The starting players of the two teams enter the field, and the much-anticipated red-white battle is about to begin.

"Good evening, dear viewers, I am your old friend Xiaopang. Today, together with my glasses, I will bring you the highlight of the 8th round of the new Premier League season at Elland Road Stadium.

Leeds United vs Liverpool! "

"Hello everyone, I am glasses. There has been an earthquake in the Premier League recently. Mourinho's departure from Chelsea will have an immeasurable impact on the championship situation. Whether Grant can stabilize his position and lead Chelsea out of the trough, I am afraid this is even the case for Manchester United and Leeds United. , Liverpool and Arsenal are all the focus of attention.

At the same time, Liverpool has lost 4 points in the past two rounds of the league and may be squeezed out of the top four in a short period of time. "

"I originally thought that Liverpool, with its strengthened front line, would show extremely terrifying combat effectiveness. Unexpectedly, the front line failed in the past two rounds. Torres has not scored a goal since returning from the national team. FIFA virus is well-deserved."

“Haha, the trend is completely opposite to that of Liverpool. After experiencing four consecutive draws in the beginning, Leeds United has returned to the right track by winning all the last three league rounds.

If we can win against Liverpool at home today, Leeds United will at least reach the top three in the standings. "

“Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Leeds United started 433.

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Belletti, Kompany, Helguera, Candela.

Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Ze Roberto.

Forwards: Robben, Ronaldo, Deisler.

Liverpool starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise.

Midfielder: Pennant, Gerrard, Mascherano, Aurelio.

Forwards: Kuyt, Torres.

Alonso's absence due to injury has a big impact on Liverpool, but if it is today's 442 formation system, it seems that even if Alonso starts, he can only replace Gerrard or Mascherano. "

"If Alonso can play, I believe Benitez will play 4231 or 433."

"Okay, let's see how powerful this Liverpool lineup is."

Benitez looked solemn.

It is indeed deplorable that Liverpool have dropped points in the past two league rounds.

But he also knows very well that Liverpool's lineup is still too fragile.

To put it simply, even if he builds a system, but does not have suitable substitute players, once the main player is absent, the operation of the entire system will be greatly affected.

On the other hand, Leeds United has suitable substitutes in most positions to ensure the fault tolerance rate of the technical and tactical system in terms of personnel.

This makes Benitez envious.

But thinking about what Leeds United's lineup was two years ago, he had to admire Shen Hao's skill in team building.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

As a guest, Liverpool took the lead.

Gerrard organized the midfield and split the ball to the wings when Modric intercepted him in the middle.

Aurelio dribbled from the left and passed the ball diagonally to the center as soon as he entered the dangerous offensive area.

Kuyt was unable to stop the ball and turn around during the reception. Under the attack of Belletti and Jamie Redknapp, he passed the ball back to Aurelio, who directly sent a 45-degree cross.

Torres was first cleared by Kompany when he was grabbing a point in the penalty area.

Then Leeds United launched a fast break.

Under the pressure of Gerrard, Modric did not struggle with the opponent at all. He passed the ball back and Jamie Redknapp transferred the attack to the left.

Candela advanced quickly, passed the ball in front of Pennant towards the center and continued to advance.

Ze Roberto provided him with support when he hit the wall.

Work together.

Pennant was left behind by Candela.

Benitez frowned.

What makes Leeds United more powerful in the new season is wing assists!

Today's match is well-deserved just from the speed of operation and tacit understanding of cooperation!

Mascherano did not dare to help defend the wing, so he could only retreat in the center and form a joint defense with the back line to surround Ronaldo.

However, Candela, with the support of Deisler, hit the wall and passed the ball to cooperate. He ran from the outside and penetrated Arbeloa's defense zone before turning inside.

The ball went into the penalty area again, Carragher retreated to block the ball, and Mascherano stepped into Carragher's center back position.

It can be seen that Benitez still put a lot of thought into training the defense.

Candela's cross passed over the heads of everyone in the middle of the penalty area and flew to the back point.

Robben cut inside and received the ball at the back point. He didn't try to shoot with his right foot even in a tight angle, so he used his left foot to volley the ball towards the center.

Ronaldo outflanked, but Hyypia blocked the ball out of the baseline first.

Leeds United fans immediately applauded.

Nothing to regret.

They can play this kind of offense at will now.

Leeds United took a corner kick from the right side of the front court.

Tactical corner kick!

Modric kicked off the ball and Belletti responded from close range and passed the ball back after reaching the bottom.

Modric regained control of the ball during the retreat and quickly passed the ball across the front area of ​​the penalty area.

Robben didn't go into the penalty area at all.

After receiving the ball, he controlled the ball on the spot and changed direction to dodge the pressure from Torres. Then he swung his left leg and shot the ball.

The football blasted from the instep drew an internal arc in the air and fell to the upper left corner of the goal.

Seeing that Reina could only watch the ball and sigh.

But there was a bang, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced into the stands.

"It's just a hair's breadth! Robben's long-range shot hit the lintel and bounced out."

"Although the ball didn't go in, we can see that Leeds United also designed the set-piece coordination carefully."

Liverpool tried to stabilize the rhythm and scene.

However, their offensive attack into the frontcourt was obviously a little weak.

Gerrard was cut off from direct contact with the forward line.

The two players on the wing attack have the ability to advance and the ability to break through is average.

Looking for opportunities to pass the ball to the forwards, both Kuyt and Torres will be trapped in a trap.

When Torres received Pennant's pass, he directly knocked the ball behind him and then turned around and accelerated forward.

Elgra was suddenly caught off guard.

The Spanish golden boy wants to make the old-timer make a fool of himself at home.

It was a bit difficult to turn around and pursue.

But the next second, Elgra felt relieved again.

When Kompany turned to cover, he directly put the tackle and sent the ball out of the baseline.

Helguera stepped forward and pulled Kompany up, then high-fived and nodded.

Shen Hao felt a little frightened just now.

Torres is really fast when he knocks the ball with his back and turns around behind him.

Fortunately, Kompany saved the day.

Kompany gained tremendous experience in last season's Champions League final.

He became very decisive in resolving the siege.

Don't dare to make any excuses.

Liverpool's corner kick attack was very average and failed to present a threat.

Leeds United positional warfare organized offensive.

Liverpool's defense looked tight as it retreated.

Deisler received Modric's pass from the left side of the frontcourt and then retreated instead of advancing. He passed the ball back without a good chance to break through.

Ze Roberto overshoots and Jamie Redknapp shifts the attack to the right.

Belletti had already started, and entered the dangerous area of ​​​​the frontcourt attack. When he received the ball, he saw Aurelio coming from nearby. He touched the ball and passed the ball across the middle like a dragonfly, and then continued to advance.

Modric took the initiative and sent the ball to the ground with a diagonal pass.

Robben responded from the front wing.

Belletti passed him as he advanced, Robben raised his leg to pass the ball, and Riise shifted his focus to retreat and defend.

It's true that Belletti goes forward, and it's true that Riise retreats.

But Robben didn't pass the ball!

Directly hit the ball to start the crosscut!

When Robben, who was getting faster and faster, reached the right area in front of the penalty area, Mascherano and Hyypia were forced to come up to block his passing and cutting routes.

Robben didn't have a good chance to shoot, so he passed the ball diagonally back while Mascherano was kicking.

Ze Roberto went to the left area in front of the penalty area to receive a short and medium pass.

As soon as the ball reached the left rib area of ​​the penalty area, Deisler cut inside.

Carragher quickly rushed to press, but Deisler also kicked the ball and sent a cross.

The football rolled into the middle of the penalty area.

There are no defenders two meters around Ronaldo!

Hyypia just went to block Robben, and Carragher went to block Deisler.

Leeds United's teamwork once again had the effect of exhausting the opponent's defensive strength in the offense.

Created a good shooting opportunity for their main scoring point.

Ronaldo stopped the ball and shot from the spot.

Unpretentious.

But the football that was shot was extremely fast and had a tricky angle.

Reina jumped forward, but before he hit the ground, the ball had already rolled against the turf into the lower left corner of the goal!

The Elland Road stadium suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers.

Ronaldo smiled and ran to the sidelines to celebrate.

All the Leeds United generals also laughed and rushed to chase his back. Together they raised their fists and roared at the fans in the corner flag area.

Baiyi's overall technical and tactical combat effectiveness is still improving!
