Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United are back in preparation mode after a day off.

Premier League teams begin to compete in the FA Cup.

1 month 5 day.

Leeds United visit the Stadium of Light to challenge Black Cats Sunderland.

Sunderland, led by Roy Keane, experienced a good start in the league, but their record began to fluctuate significantly.

The goal of the season is definitely to avoid relegation.

So in the FA Cup battlefield, Roy Keane made a rotation.

There was a brief master-disciple relationship.

Shen Hao and Roy Keane briefly shook hands to greet each other before the game started.

There was no pleasantries.

Roy Keane is obviously not a social expert, and his straightforward character makes it easy for Shen Hao to deal with him.

Say what you have to say, never talk nonsense.

No need to ask for help.

Roy Keane scolded the media before the game.

Fleet Street is promoting the idea that Leeds United are collapsing.

Roy Keane is an outspoken critic of the media.

"Do you know that this is misleading all Premier League teams? The overall structure of Leeds United's lineup is older. This is an indisputable fact. However, you did not mention the cost of traveling to and from Japan to compete in the Club World Cup. There are also four rounds in the league. With a poor record of no wins, you have not specifically analyzed which players played in these four rounds of the league and who their opponents were.

If Ronaldo and his team failed to win in four league rounds, your report would still have a glimmer of credibility.

But Ronaldo didn't even play a game, and the other main players only played one game.

What are Leeds United doing?Don't you know?

You know it better than anyone else.

They are using their record to buy time and space. Their main lineup is recuperating. When they return, Leeds United will once again set off a strong green storm.

If you don’t want Leeds United to win three consecutive championships, then don’t mislead other Premier League teams to underestimate Leeds United.

The panic you are creating now has no effect on Leeds United, their fans are aware of the dynamics of the team.

On the contrary, it may cause other Premier League teams to wrongly assess Leeds United's combat effectiveness.

You guys are really..."

Roy Keane almost yelled.

Human head and pig brain!

He disdains psychological warfare with public opinion, but Fleet Street's recent crazy pressure on Leeds United is more like acting in conjunction with Leeds United.

If other Premier League teams believe that Leeds United are falling apart, or are in a trough with no signs of rebounding.

Then this is simply doing Leeds United a big favor!

Helped Leeds United confuse all Premier League teams.

Shen Hao expressed his appreciation for Roy Keane's sobriety.

But I always felt like I was stabbed in the back by my former disciple.

Now that everyone is their own master and their positions are different, it is easy for him to feel relieved.

Leeds United still played away from home with a substitute lineup.

Sunderland's combat effectiveness was a bit low after the rotation.

The average ability of today's starting lineup is only about 135.

Even with Leeds United's substitute lineup, the average team ability is above 160.

Leeds United, who played away from home, continued their defensive counterattack.

The scene looked calm.

However, Sunderland found it difficult to maintain a steady rhythm, while Leeds United played a delicate offensive after gradually improving their state and rhythm.

After counterattacks and fast breaks advance to the frontcourt, Ma Kai and Lopez, Rakitic in the midfield and Baynes on the wing, can often cooperate with local quick passes and cuts.

Today, Leeds United defended Seth Johnson in the midfield, and the defense was much more stable.

With continued output, Lopez and Ma Kai also got shooting opportunities one after another.

Leeds United's traditional style of play lacks rich changes in higher levels.

Concentrate energy and resources to create opportunities for the two forwards to deliver shells.

Ma Kai and Lopez scored 4 goals together with their heads and kicks.

Roy Keane, apart from being dissatisfied with the team's fighting temperament, did not care about the result.

Sunderland 0:4 Leeds United at home.

They were eliminated from the FA Cup as soon as they entered the competition.

They can focus on fighting for league relegation.

Leeds United successfully passed the test and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

Going far in the local cup will increase training opportunities for Leeds United.

Less than the semi-finals, the finals.

It was impossible for Shen Hao to mobilize the main force to participate in the war.

There is nothing to regret about falling outside the top four.

If you really want to make it to the semi-finals, you have to make a big push.

After all, we are not far away from winning the trophy.

After the FA Cup match, Leeds United only had two days of rest before facing the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals at home.

Their opponent is Everton.

Before the game, Shen Hao was very low-key.

But Moyes started talking nonsense again.

"We are fully capable of knocking out Leeds United. No matter what the reason is, many important players of Leeds United are still on vacation. Maybe they no longer want to play for a team that is going to fail. Leeds United has won a lot of honors in the past two seasons. But they cannot hide the problems they have encountered. Success will make people feel lost. Maybe Leeds United needs to think carefully about the new direction of development."

Moyes echoed Fleet Street talk of Leeds United collapse.

He had a great time chatting with reporters.

He led the team to the Elland Road Stadium with a strong attitude, and his team also seemed to have high fighting spirit.

After all, for Everton, if they can advance to the League Cup final, it is equivalent to the success of the season.

Ever since Moyes entered the field, Leeds United fans have had a disdain for him that they can't be bothered to pay attention to. Only a small number of fans who can't hold back have spoken sweet words to him and paid tribute to his eighteenth generation ancestors.

It's rather vulgar, but it's a common phenomenon on the golf course and nothing special.

Shen Hao sat on the coach's bench calmly.

Shen Hao was delighted with the performance of their bench after entering 2008.

Drawing with Liverpool and eliminating Sunderland, the trend is improving.

Some young players also become more courageous as they fight.

For example, Thiago Silva was as stable as an old dog in the last game against Sunderland. Baines has also changed from relying solely on speed and physical running to having an overall view of the offense. Organizational Depth.

Leeds United still deployed a 442 formation at home.

Goalkeeper: Blazer.

Defenders: Carlisle, Thiago Silva, Stam, Kilgallon.

Midfielder: Rivaldo, Rakitic, Seth Johnson, Baynes.

Forward: Ma Kai, Lopez.

Everton starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Howard.

Defenders: Hilbert, Yabo, Jagielka, Lescott.

Midfielder: Andy Johnson, Phil Neville, Cahill, McFadden, Carsley.

Forward: Yakub.

After the game started, Everton did not play conservatively, but balanced offense and defense.

The investment is not small when it is time to attack.

The entire offensive system is relatively simple to coordinate with the forward attack.

Although Moyes is the Scottish coach, he has paid more attention to the study and improvement of the traditional British style in the Premier League in recent years, only injecting a small amount of the delicate passing elements of Scottish football into the team.

In the football map of the British Empire, England focuses on confrontation, while Scotland focuses on technology.

Therefore, among the successful coaches in England, Scottish coaches are far more successful than English coaches. It can even be said that there is no comparability between the two.

Before England won the World Cup nearly half a century ago, Scottish football was even ahead of English football in its popular ground-forward, passing, and cutting style.

It was after England won the World Cup that English football became even more arrogant.

But the subsequent success and dominance of English football in European football was largely due to the Scottish coaching staff.

Everton's attack put obvious pressure on Leeds United.

The overall formation shrinks more tightly.

Blazer played steadily, constantly blocking high passes and blocking the long shots of Cahill, Jakub, and Andy Johnson.

Leeds United's counterattack went wide, with Baines speeding up the attack and trying to open up the opponent's defense.

However, Everton's defense was deployed in a targeted manner, and the flanking zone defense restricted Ma Kai and Lopez. Their players' abilities should not be underestimated.

Leeds United's counterattack did not pose a strong visual threat. Even if there was a shot, it could not test Howard.

Moyes was on the sidelines supervising the battle with a serious and focused expression.

He was too eager to beat Leeds United.

Trying to prove that he is better than Shen Hao.

There was nothing he could do, his position was also very awkward.

If he doesn't work hard to move up and squeeze into the top coaching circle, then he can only be his blue-collar coach among a group of mediocre people.

The defensive triangle composed of Thiago Silva, Stam, and Seth Johnson performed better today.

It is impossible to prevent the opponent from taking a shot, but it can prevent the opponent from getting a great opportunity.

When the game reached a deadlock, in the 28th minute of the game, Lopez was kicked to the ground from behind by McFadden during a counterattack in the frontcourt.

Leeds United receive a direct free kick from a good position.

Since it is on the right side of the penalty area, it is more suitable for left-footed players.

So Rivaldo stood in front of the football.

David Moyes suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart and muttered to himself.

"No way? No way?"

The whistle sounded.

Rivaldo took a run-up and shot.

The wall was already jumping to try and push the ball away.

However, the football shot by Rivaldo still brushed Yabo's head and crossed the wall, then outlined a pleasing outer arc and fell into the upper right corner of the goal!

Everton fans were immediately furious!

"Farke, Leeds United is poisonous!"

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right? If we can't pose a threat in a positional battle, we'll score directly from the set kick!"

"Can Moyes shut up? The Leeds tyrant's opponents are Ferguson, Wenger, and Benitez. We are not in the same competitive circle at all. Why are you trying to squeeze in? You are humiliating yourself."

Leeds United fans applaud veteran Rivaldo.

The legend in white still contributes his remaining energy to the team.

By far the best memories for Leeds United fans are the achievements of the past two seasons.

And among those brilliance always shines Rivaldo's never-fading figure.

But everyone also understands that Rivaldo will turn 36 in more than three months.

Watching one of his games is one less game.

The cheers and celebrations at Elland Road were therefore particularly fervent.

It is not only a celebration of goals, but also a tribute to veterans!

Shen Hao stood up from the coaching bench and applauded.

The mentality of Everton's generals on the field has fluctuated.

Everyone feels that Leeds United's substitute lineup can only be beaten by the main lineup in the lower reaches of the Premier League.

But as long as the teams in the middle and upper reaches bring out their main lineup, they will definitely be stronger than Leeds United's substitute lineup.

Even on the road, falling behind was unacceptable to them.

Everton took the initiative to increase the tempo and set off a continuous bombardment.

However, the offensive methods are still a bit monotonous.

A cross from the wing and a risky pass through the middle.

Too obvious.

Thiago Silva, Stam, and Seth Johnson gradually showed their dominance in defense.

When Stam overwhelmed Yakub in the confrontation, Thiago Silva intercepted Cahill's forward drive, and Seth Johnson went back and forth to fill in the position.

Every defensive success they have can excite the fans. At the same time, their own confidence has been continuously strengthened and their temperament has become stronger.

It's a pity that Leeds United failed to seize the opportunity to expand the score.

Halftime is over.

Leeds United 1:0 Everton.

Shen Hao returned to the locker room.

Everton also need to adjust, unless they have no idea about the Carabao Cup final.

In fact, the League Cup semi-finals are played over two legs, home and away.

Moyes can definitely put the decisive battle at Goodison Park.

But he is afraid!

He was afraid that in the second round, Leeds United's main team would return.

Even if Everton has the advantage of home court, how can it withstand the impact of Ronaldo and Robben?

So he feels that if Everton wants to enter the League Cup final, the first leg at Elland Road will be the decider!

The vision of Everton crushing Leeds United's substitute lineup in the away game did not appear.

On the contrary, falling behind in the score made him panic.

From strategic planning to actual combat, everything was in chaos.

In the second half of the game, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Leeds United took the lead in making substitutions.

Mackay goes off and Rui Costa comes on.

Leeds United made adjustments to further strengthen defense and midfield control.

Everton kept the pace straight.

Repeatedly attacked Leeds United's defense.

Just after 60 minutes of the game, the threat Everton could create felt like it was just a little bit close to breaking Leeds United's goal.

A little better chance, a little more tricky shooting, a little more brave and powerful in the fight...

But if everything is a little bit worse, it seems that the difference is not a little bit worse.

Leeds United's counterattack gradually got better after Rui Costa's appearance improved.

He teamed up with Rivaldo to advance the counterattack and restricted Everton's defense to the greatest extent.

Rui Costa then suddenly shifted his attack to the left.

They created better space for Bynes to break into.

Baynes crossed the ball from the wing to gain the advantage of attacking depth, and then sent a high-quality cross.

When the football flew to the middle of the goal with a slight arc, Lopez rushed to the goal, stepped on the ball accurately, raised his leg to volley and shot, smooth and silky.

The football flew past Howard into the goal behind him.

Howard, who was almost hit in the face, failed to make a magical save, so he could only lie on the ground with a look of helplessness.

Elland Road was filled with cheers.

Leeds United 2:0 Everton!

Moyes's expression gradually distorted...

Is this another self-inflicted humiliation?

Is the gap between civilian teams and BIG5 really so big that it seems like an insurmountable chasm? !
