Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals begins.

Unsurprisingly, both teams were extremely cautious after the start.

First establish a foothold, enter the state, and then launch an offensive.

Manchester United's blockade against Ronaldinho was full.

The stalking Park Ji-sung, O'Shea, who only blocked Ronaldinho's front line, and Carrick's help in defense.

If Ronaldinho wants to cut inside and directly threaten the goal, he must first break through the circle of these three people, and then there is Ferdinand between him and Van der Sar before he talks directly!

Of course, Ferguson can also see the trajectory of Ronaldinho's strength since joining Leeds United.

It's just that he once had extremely strong and gorgeous performances, so people's perception of Ronaldinho's change in strength is not obvious.

In addition to the deployment of Manchester United's defense, there are also obvious changes in the forward line.

Tevez not only has a large range of activities, but also works extremely hard in defensive harassment.

The two-year loan period at Manchester United is about to end. He hopes to stay at Manchester United. Naturally, he needs to use his performance to win Ferguson's determination to keep him.

Manchester United's midfield organization has been weakened, and they can almost only rely on Evra on the wing and Tevez who retreats to receive the ball and then pass the ball to Ronaldo or Rooney.

It seems that Manchester United has a 433 formation, but in fact it is more like a 4312.

Ronaldo's single after the start of the game was at best a long shot with an average outside opportunity, while Rooney was looking for changes in offense.

It's a pity that there are no supporting teammates behind him.

While Manchester United is trying to limit Ronaldinho, it can also be seen that Ronaldinho's containment has completed the cutting of their formation.

Tevez in the middle and Park Ji-sung can occasionally provide support.

Rooney has no more than three teammates with whom he can form a direct bond.

The situation is naturally difficult, so the style of play is simplified. If you can rush, rush, if you can't rush, send artillery shells into the penalty area, allowing Ronaldo to complete a wave of impact.

With little success.

Leeds United's offense made Ferguson frown.

They did not concentrate their forces to create opportunities for Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho's movement on the left side of the frontcourt was just a kick.

After receiving the ball, pass the ball back or crosswise.

Immediately afterwards, Leeds United's offense will speed up.

Focused on Modric and Deisler!

Regardless of the offense at this time, in defense Van Bronckhorst and Ze Roberto formed a double midfielder.

When Modric and Deisler retreated, the formation returned to three midfielders and four midfielders.

During the attack, Deisler and Modric had a good offensive space due to the containment formed by Ronaldinho on the left.

Fletcher simply could not resist the impact of the two men.

Modric and Deisler took the lead with a long shot, forcing Van der Sar to make a wonderful save.

Manchester United fans are terrified.

With not many people involved in the attack, Leeds United was able to threaten Manchester United's goal with higher-quality shots.

This is the difference!

Ferguson was impressed on the sidelines.

Even if he won't admit it on the surface.

But the white tyrant's ideas in technical and tactical design are always unexpected.

Ronaldinho, the strongest star, was used as cannon fodder.

This is something that many coaches would never even dare to think about!

But not only did he do it, he did it brilliantly.

Ronaldinho is very strong, very strong at the top level.

But when it comes to their use, Shen Hao has always been at two extremes.

Either be the most effective tool, or be the strongest offensive blade.

By the end of the season, Ronaldinho had also been conquered by the concepts and technical and tactical ideas instilled by Shen Hao, and he could flexibly switch between the two roles.

And this means that he is not only powerful individually, but also powerful in a system!

Barcelona once needed him to lead the team's technical and tactical system.

Shen Hao asked him to serve Leeds United's technical and tactical system.

This is also a difference in the way of employing people.

He has to rely on Ronaldinho, but he will not rely absolutely on one player.

If you don't grasp the balance well, it will be self-contradictory.

At least so far, there have been no negative reactions.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Manchester United's frontcourt offense changed.

Rooney reached the middle to meet Tevez, who passed the ball and ran forward.

Rooney made a pass and sent the ball to the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Ronaldo ran wildly forward and took off. He overwhelmed Kompany in the air and headed the ball to Tevez, who was advancing forward in the middle. The latter unloaded the ball from his chest and advanced.

It seemed that it was a one-man shot, but when the football fell, his shot seemed a little hasty.

Neuer took two steps and then opened his arms to block, widening the angle of the block.

Tevez's football shot was blocked by Neuer with his left leg!

"Manuel Neuer made a great contribution! This save is very crucial!"

"There was a rare and wonderful collaboration between the Manchester United trio, but Tevez failed to seize the opportunity."

"Cronaldo's ability to fight for the top is really strong. Even many top defenders can't claim to have the advantage of fighting in the air in front of him."

Red Devils fans looked up to the sky and sighed.

How eager to see the team take the lead in scoring Leeds United's goal, not only leading by score, but also precious away goals!

Leeds United fans breathed a sigh of relief but with lingering fears.

But it turned into cheers and applause for Neuer's brilliant solution to the danger.

Ferguson suppressed his disappointment.

Three minutes later, Leeds United's frontcourt offensive struck again.

Van Bronckhorst passed the ball to Ronaldinho, who slowly controlled the ball, attracting Carrick and Park Ji-sung to surround him. He decisively controlled the ball and took a step back before sending a cross pass.

When Modric ran up from the center, Deisler ran faster than him and had already entered the inside track.

Modric took advantage of the situation and moved forward with continuous stops. He stepped into the dangerous offensive area and faced Fletcher for a frontal interception. Modric changed the direction of the ball and crossed it out of the angle to send a direct pass.

Ronaldo moved from the center to the right side of the top of the penalty area to connect, and Vidic pressed closely from behind.

Ronaldo spiked the ball and moved towards the center. Vidic's center of gravity just moved towards the center, and he and Ferdinand were able to form a closed defense against Ronaldo.

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo knocked the ball with his heel and passed the ball behind him.

When Vidic braked suddenly and changed direction, Deisler cut in and accelerated the ball directly between him and Evra, breaking through Manchester United's defense!

Deisler, who already had a chance to shoot at this time, looked down the road.

Ronaldo outflanked the ball in the middle, and Ferdinand defended.

Vidic quickly retreated to block Deisler's passing line.

But Deisler suddenly stopped and spiked the ball back in the right rib area of ​​the penalty area. He and Vidic passed one meter apart, and then Deisler passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.

Everyone's eyes turned.

Modric ran wildly into the penalty area. Deisler's ball was very comfortable for him. He didn't need to adjust. He hit the ball and shot!

The next moment, the football hit the dead center like a meteor!

Van der Sar turned his head and looked at the upper left corner of the goal. He realized it, but his body could no longer keep up. The saving action stopped abruptly as soon as it started!

The Elland Road stadium instantly erupted in cheers like a roaring tsunami!

"Modric's shocking volley scored! Leeds United took the lead in breaking the deadlock at home!"

"What a wonderful triangle passing and cutting cooperation? This is a textbook teamwork!"

"Ronaldinho used diversion to create space for his teammates. Modric, Ronaldo, and Deisler completed wonderful group passes that shredded Manchester United's defense. This goal once again reflects Leeds United's ability to blend individuals and teams. How perfect!"

The Red Devils fans secretly gritted their teeth and tried to suppress their inner uneasiness.

The strength of Leeds United has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If they were not mortal enemies, they would definitely express feelings of envy.

Ferguson couldn't help but look solemn.

In fact, he was somewhat helpless.

Maybe in the end the only solution is to set up buses.

But he couldn't do it anyway.

A bright smile broke out on Shen Hao's face, and he raised his fist and vibrated it several times.

Being able to detect changes in player strength, he can certainly rely on the attacking group of Modric, Deisler, and Ronaldo.

Because Modric's ability has reached 185, which is only 187 points away from the peak of 2.

Deisler reached a peak ability value of 177.

Ronaldo's ability is 188. The distance between him and his peak of 189 has been as long as half a year and he has been unable to break through.

Shen Hao didn't force anything.

The average ability of these three people is close to 185. This configuration is top-notch among any team in European football.

Ronaldinho is very good, but Shen Hao never puts the burden of victory on a player.

Sit firmly on the coaching bench, just wait for the players to win the game and reap the fruits of victory yourself.

How can there be such an easy thing?

Even if you can win a season like this, can you keep winning?

To keep your opponent unpredictable, you need to create surprises for your opponent.

Keep the team's overall threat varied.

Only in this way can it be prosperous and prosperous.

Manchester United adjusted their defensive strategy after the kick-off.

They still blocked Ronaldinho, but made adjustments to the back line.

Resolutely give up the outside line, and all defenders return to the penalty area. When necessary, the full-backs cover the defense and act as midfielders.

This is used to limit Leeds United's offensive threat.

At the same time, Manchester United's offensive trident also began to enhance changes in movement.

Taking turns changing positions and running across each other, it seems to be dazzling.

But there is still a fatal problem that cannot be solved.

Who will deliver the shells to them?

Rooney and Tevez gave Ronaldo the ball, but the goal was too conspicuous. Leeds United's defensive interference would prevent their passing quality from reaching a creative and lethal level.

Shen Hao looked at Ronaldo who was running actively but couldn't get a chance.

I can't help but sigh: No matter how high the ability is, if it has no place to be used, it will be useless.

Ronaldo has the second highest ability in the world.

If he were swapped with Ronaldo of Leeds United.

Shen Hao couldn't even imagine the destructive power he would cause.

It doesn't matter even if he shoots wildly, and with both head and kick, Leeds United will definitely spend all their resources to deliver cannonballs to him.

Perhaps the gap between Leeds United and Manchester United is more reflected in offensive creativity.

Rather than the striker's finishing ability.

Just because Manchester United cannot create a steady stream of opportunities like Leeds United.

Modric, Deisler, and Ronaldinho have the organization, cooperation, creativity, and ability to deliver threatening balls. Perhaps in Manchester United’s current lineup structure, only Giggs in his peak period and Giggs in his peak period are also included. Scholes can only match that on the pitch.

Without Hargreaves' strong individual defensive ability, more players are needed to fill the defense, relying on numbers to accumulate quality.

The consequence of this is that with seemingly balanced numbers of offense and defense, Leeds United actually has more space.

Because of the containment caused by Ronaldinho, Manchester United's defensive focus was seriously tilted.

Ronaldo also showed helplessness and despair on the court.

His teammates' passes meant that he was always fighting to complete the shot.

Leeds United's defense was not disturbed.

Just like asking him to charge head-on, the difficulty can be imagined.

When the game approached 40 minutes, Leeds United's offense once again swept the frontcourt.

This time Deisler went down from the wing and made a pass.

Vidic cleared the ball.

Park Ji-sung won the header, but the ball he pushed was controlled by Ze Roberto.

At this time Van Bronckhorst started from the left, Modric and Deisler retreated.

During the retreat, Modric first approached the left wing and completed a collision with Van Bronckhorst before continuing and retreating to the center.

When Van Bronckhorst entered the offensive dangerous area, O'Shea directly gave up the outside line to let the opponent calmly hit the bottom.

So Van Bronckhorst passed the ball into the penalty area and faced O'Shea. When the two were about to come into contact, Van Bronckhorst passed the ball diagonally to the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Ronaldinho kicked the ball out of the double and sent a cross.

Ronaldo encountered Ferdinand and Vidic in the middle. He took a step back and then suddenly knocked the ball and turned around.

As the football passed between the two, Ronaldo was tripped by Vidic and Ferdinand and fell to the ground.

Ronaldo, who fell in the penalty area, hugged the ball directly with his hands.

Then the referee's whistle was heard.

Everyone was extremely nervous at this time.

The next second I saw the referee pointing at the penalty spot in Manchester United's penalty area!

Ferdinand, Vidic and other Manchester United players immediately surrounded him.

Explain that they did not meet Ronaldo.

But...

"It was Vidic who tripped Ronaldo with his leg! The slow-motion replay is clear!"

"Manchester United players should stop confusing right and wrong, it's meaningless."

"Ronaldo is not a striker who goes down easily!"

Ferguson verbally responded to the fourth official, expressing his dissatisfaction angrily.

It was as if they had been misjudged.

Shen Hao was both disdainful and tired of this behavior.

That’s it, what’s there to protest about?

Red Devils fans also erupted in dissatisfaction.

But it cannot change the referee's decision.

When Ronaldo stood in front of the penalty spot, he didn't have any nervousness when facing Van der Sar. After a run-up, he hit the ball with a powerful shot into the lower right corner of the goal!

Leeds United wins again!

"2:0! Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot to expand Leeds United's lead!"

"If Manchester United can't score against us at Elland Road, then we can almost say we have one foot in the Champions League final!"

"It depends on Manchester United if they want to fight for away goals."
