Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The battle at Anfield has come to an end.

Fans from both sides are still a bit unsatisfied.

Emotions vary and it is difficult to calm down.

Shen Hao and Benitez shook hands after the game, which attracted much attention.

Benitez defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the league title in La Liga, and came to the Premier League to lead Liverpool to the top of Europe.

Famous around the world, ranked among the top.

Although Shen Hao is well-known, he has no honors that he can achieve.

Being able to play against the top coaches in the Premier League without falling behind, and even turning the tide in adversity. In this battle, Leeds United's strength has once again been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Shen Hao must have earned enough popularity capital to compete with the famous coaches. .

Liverpool fans are terrified.

Without Garcia's equalizer, Anfield would have fallen.

"The gap is still 12 points, Farke!"

"It makes Manchester United and Chelsea cheaper, which... hurts both sides."

Yes, whether Leeds United or Liverpool win, it will put pressure on the other big4.

Leeds United can maintain its lead, and Liverpool can bring pressure to catch up.

But it was a draw.

I'm afraid this is the ending that Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal like to see the most.

After the game, Shen Hao faced the camera and praised Liverpool's performance.

He wasn't bothered by the narrowing of his lead.

Chelsea wins this round.

Leeds United have 12 wins and 2 draws.

Chelsea has 11 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Leeds United are only four points ahead of the defending champions.

This advantage seems insignificant in the context that the league is not yet halfway through.

But Shen Hao did not have any obsession.

Whether you can compete for the championship has nothing to do with points advantage.

It only has to do with the strength of Leeds United.

Benitez also complimented Leeds United after the game.

This contest is indeed a wonderful game in this round of the Premier League.

Before Leeds United went to play in the Europa League in midweek, there were frequent mishaps.

Fleet Street claim a number of Premier League clubs are interested in Vieri.

Shen Hao didn't care.

Vieri himself wants to come to Leeds United. If other Premier League teams can snatch him away, it means that Vieri's determination to join Leeds United is not firm.

In addition, there are also La Liga teams who want to take away Mendieta, who performed well in the Europa League.

Leeds United have advanced to the Europa League.

The final round was a complete formality.

vs. Lovich Litex at home.

Mendieta led the team with a single core, still like a suppressed lion, wreaking havoc on the court.

Almost the entire frontcourt center and right wing are the stages for his performance.

Leeds United fans will also ask: Can't he play in the Premier League?

Sure.

But there is no place for him at Leeds United.

A group of substitutes launched a mercury-filled offensive.

The opponent's weak strength is of course the main reason.

Leeds United easily won 3-0 at home.

3 wins and 1 draw in the group stage.

Easily advanced to the top 32.

After the recovery training on the afternoon of the second day after the game day.

Mendieta took the initiative to come to Shen Hao's office.

Bai Muxin happened to be present. She recently started producing materials for Leeds United's domestic official website. This is a long-term job.

Although Tang Jinyu is not in Leeds, he controls the club remotely.

There needs to be reconstruction in the area of ​​club culture communication.

Big clubs have their own internal media, like Manchester United, which has Manchester United TV.

Leeds United do not operate a television station.

They would rather invest their energy and resources into the Internet and build their domestic official website to be more social and become a gathering place for Chinese fans.

This requires the official website to continuously update content related to Leeds United.

The club's internal media, such as regular hosts, conduct interviews from time to time and only make videos introducing the internal situation of Leeds United to the outside world, allowing fans to understand Leeds United beyond just the games.

Bai Muxin left the office holding a pile of information.

Mendieta sat down across the desk and looked at Shen Hao. He said straight to the point: "Boss, I want to transfer."

Shen Hao was not surprised.

But his answer was also straightforward.

"Not before the end of the season."

Mendieta frowned.

"I'm not your core, nor your fixed main force, why don't you let me go?"

"Because you are very important. If Rivaldo is injured and misses, you have to step in."

Shen Hao is very straightforward.

He doesn't like to beat around the bush.

As a young man, most of the players he faced were older than him.

There's no point in being petty, it will only turn you into a clown.

Mendieta shook his head.

“I don’t want to be anyone’s stand-in.”

"It's not important. What's important is that Leeds United won't let you go, but I can make a promise to you. Our main goal is not to compete in the Europa League. You must have felt it. If you can lead Leeds United to the semi-finals of the Europa League, I allow you to leave the team next summer. This is your chance to prove yourself, not to me, but to other teams. You should be very clear that only you who can exert value will have a chance to be seen by the club you are willing to go to. superior."

Mendieta was silent.

Shen Hao was not in a hurry.

He didn't say it dead.

But at least he made his attitude clear.

Leaving the team mid-season?

impossible!

If Leeds United won’t let him go, can other teams still snatch him?

As for Mendieta, if he dares to be passive and sabotage.

He doesn't mind directly destroying the other party.

The outside world says he is a tyrant.

But that doesn't mean he's unreasonable.

There is still room for Mendieta.

After a while, Mendieta said: "Okay, if the team enters the semi-finals of the Europa League, please fulfill your promise."

"I never break my word."

Mendieta stood up to say goodbye.

He knows very well that if Leeds United reaches the top 16 or top 8 of the Europa League, Shen Hao will definitely focus on the Europa League to reach the top four.

What Shen Hao is thinking about is if the team really reaches the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Who can not have ambitions for the finals?

...

Leeds United's devilish schedule comes earlier.

Playing Liverpool away.

Playing Chelsea away.

Playing Manchester United away!

Within 11 days.

Then it’s time to approach the Christmas Devil schedule.

They defeated defending champion Chelsea in the opening game, and they had to visit Stamford Bridge before the halfway point of the schedule.

Shen Hao didn't know how the FA arranged this schedule.

The fans complained, but Shen Hao didn't care.

To become a championship team, there will always be challenges of one kind or another.

Does the picky team seem to have championship qualities?

So when a reporter asked him at the pre-match press conference if he was dissatisfied with the schedule, he said calmly that it didn't matter.

Even if they have to play all the Big8 home and away games in eight consecutive rounds, he doesn't care.

As for the trouble-provoking media, they once again took advantage of Lennon.

Shen Hao still had the same attitude.

"If Chelsea wish, they can loan Lennon to Leeds United when the winter transfer window opens."

Mourinho encountered the same problem before the game.

However, he said that Lennon is an important player for them and believes that he will play an important role in the second half of the season.

The implication is that it is impossible to loan Lennon back to Leeds United!

That simply made Chelsea an outright victim in the eyes of the Premier League heroes.

12 month 10 day.

Leeds United went to west London to challenge Chelsea as a guest.

This is Shen Hao's first visit to Stamford Bridge. This stadium has a small capacity and is about the same size as Leeds United.

But compared with Chelsea's current ambition to become a giant, it seems a bit mismatched.

Therefore, there are often rumors that Chelsea will build a new stadium or expand Stamford Bridge.

In 2005, this was the third time Leeds United faced Chelsea.

The League Cup final at the end of February.

The Premier League opener in early August.

Another conversation at the end of the year.

Mourinho and Shen Hao know each other well.

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

Chelsea fans are fully looking forward to avenging their humiliation by defeating Leeds United at home today, and at the same time shortening the gap with Leeds United.

There is now a 4-point gap.

If they win the game, the difference will become 1 point.

Chelsea start 433.

Goalkeeper: Cudicini.

Defenders: Del Horno, Carvalho, Terry, Gallas.

Midfield: Essien, Joe Cole, Lampard.

Forwards: Robben, Crespo, Duff.

Main goalkeeper Petr Cech's performance this season has declined compared to last season, but it is also within the normal range of top goalkeepers. However, he has suffered from shoulder injuries for a long time and is sometimes rotated by Mourinho. It seems that he has suffered a shoulder injury. , not suitable for competition.

Leeds United's starting 433 did not change much from the previous game.

Davies is suspended and Jamie Redknapp starts.

After the game started, the shocking battle that people expected to see did not appear before their eyes.

Chelsea started to prevent a reversal, and now they are extremely determined.

Leeds United came to the away game and also adopted defensive counterattack tactics.

In this way, both teams are attacking head-on, with no counterattack opportunities to seize.

The devil's schedule is approaching.

Shen Hao naturally has to reasonably allocate the team's physical fitness.

Moreover, against opponents like Chelsea.

The more aggressive you play, the easier it is to fall into the danger of your opponent's counterattack.

At the same time, he also wants to see how Chelsea performs when facing tough battles.

Mourinho did not expect Leeds United to adopt a relatively conservative style of play.

Chelsea's frontcourt attack has hardly changed at all.

Even the most basic organizational adjustments and transfer offensives do not exist.

It's not that they can't do it, it's that they don't pursue rich and varied play styles in positional warfare.

Focus on counterattack opportunities.

Then the scene became as dull as water.

Robben and Duff's wide advances were obviously self-inflicted.

The weather is getting colder, which will suppress the ability of technical players, especially those who are good at sudden turns and sudden stops.

Robben's threat was not as good as in the opening game, and his performance at that time could only be described as average.

Duff is clearly showing signs of declining strength.

Shen Hao didn't care about the specific reasons.

But in my impression, the opponent's strength dropped instead of rising compared to the opening game.

This is actually the most common situation in world football.

Duff, who has a potential of over 170, failed to make any further progress when he approached the ceiling. On the contrary, his ability declined.

For most ordinary players, they will never be able to touch the ceiling of their ultimate potential in their lifetime.

Even many players are far from the limit.

It hasn’t reached its peak yet, but it has already begun to decline.

It's normal, no need to make a fuss.

If only everyone in the world could reach their fullest potential.

The world will also be brighter.

But the reality is that most people are ordinary.

Joe Cole played as an attacking midfielder today, and his technical strength at his feet is still impressive. He has a beauty and delicacy that is different from the local players in England.

Even the midfield master Scholes, in terms of finesse, Joe Cole is still better, but in terms of overall strength, Scholes is better in terms of organizational ability, overall view, forward penetration, long-range shooting, etc. powerful.

If the wings cannot take off, Chelsea cannot threaten.

Crespo is diligent and hard-working. This Argentine forward who experienced a shocking reversal by Liverpool in AC Milan last season is also tinged with tragedy.

It seems that he is destined to wander, scarred and without a trace of his destination.

Leeds United are wary of the threat of Chelsea's late penetration in the midfield.

In addition to the possible rotation of Lampard and Essien forward, the full-backs Del Horno and Gallas are not afraid.

But Chelsea is really conservative.

The integrity and tightness of the defense line were maintained from beginning to end.

This made Leeds United's positional warfare attack somewhat difficult.

Rivaldo and Ribery were looked after with a double focus.

To a certain extent, it also restrained Essien and Lampard.

The situation is not stalemate and the confrontation is not intense.

There is a lack of exciting images.

In the first battle, both teams fought counterattacks.

Who can counterattack whom?

In the eyes of everyone, this battle at the top of the Premier League is not worthy of its name.

There is no sign of a classic.

Shen Hao is in a good mood.

If Chelsea are willing to let Leeds United escape from Stamford Bridge.

Leeds United can definitely accept that.

Not to mention still being able to maintain a 4-point lead over Chelsea.

In just two matches this season, Leeds United has the advantage with 1 win and 1 draw.

This is enough to give Leeds United more confidence and motivation to compete for the championship.

The half game ended uneventfully.

Shen Hao returned to the locker room to take a rest.

There is nothing to adjust.

Emphasis on staying vigilant in the second half.

In addition, they also took the lead in taking action.

After all, based on the situation presented in the first half of the game.

It's really too dry.

I really want to take the initiative.

It also lacks ideas and practical environment and conditions.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The fans are itching and looking forward to the two teams taking the initiative.

But Shen Hao and Mourinho tacitly agreed to stay put.

Mourinho thought Leeds United had staged a shocking battle with Arsenal and Liverpool.

Leeds United will definitely continue their form and strengthen their offensive.

But he missed a move and made a wrong prediction!

Chelsea, who tried to play second fiddle to Leeds United, never found a good environment.

As the game approached 60 minutes, Mourinho took the initiative to make substitutions.

Drogba came on to replace Duff who performed poorly.

Gudjohnsen comes on to replace Robben.

Shen Hao looked at Chelsea's substitutions.

There is no doubt that this will change Chelsea's offensive approach in frontal battles.

Robben, Duff, they are all wing knives in counterattack tactics.

Take them out and put on two forwards who are not wingers.

Although it can be expected that Chelsea will soon change their offensive tactics.

But it also revealed from the side that Mourinho has given up on the idea of ​​counterattacks and fast breaks.

Mostly from the dull scenes in the past hour, it can be seen that Leeds United came to Stamford Bridge today with the purpose of maintaining a tie and winning.

Shen Hao also changed.

Lopez and Guardiola exit.

Gregan and Seth Johnson appear.

Strengthen the midfield.

Even if Chelsea can let Joe Cole go to the wing to take advantage of the width of the field.

But more often than not, a simple and crude style of play is needed for punching and hanging.

Drogba, Crespo, and Gudjohnsen entered the Leeds United penalty area to look for opportunities.

It looked menacing.

But how to pass the ball has become a problem.

After Leeds United changed to 442, the midfield interception was stronger.

The only ones who can deliver high-quality threatening balls are Lampard and Joe Cole.

Clamp these two people down.

No matter how many forwards there are, they just look scary.

Shen Hao is also waiting and watching.

If Chelsea can't hold back, the formation will press forward.

Ribery and Rivaldo may not be able to penetrate their defense.

But Chelsea is as steady as an old dog.

The offense was really messed up.

It's all a matter of luck.

Couldn't shake Leeds United's defense at all.

But Chelsea's defense just wouldn't press.

It’s as if the forwards can’t score and the defenders don’t even worry.

This also makes sense.

A team that cannot score can never blame its defenders.

When the game ended, Chelsea fans looked ugly.

Let the tiger go back to the mountain!

Shen Hao and Mourinho shook hands after the game.

Mourinho whispered to him: "Leeds United don't seem to be as courageous as the outside world says."

Shen Hao disagreed and replied with a smile: "Chelsea, which can spend [-] million pounds on signings every year, is far worse on the offensive end than Arsenal, who are frugal."

After saying that, the two separated, and he turned and walked towards the players' tunnel.

During an interview in the mixed zone, the reporter asked him how he felt after facing two consecutive draws.

Shen Hao looked relaxed.

"Chelsea are afraid of losing at home. Of course we will respect the defending champions and take away a draw, which I can accept."

Mourinho will naturally be under greater pressure.

They failed to win Leeds United at home, and the two clashes this season have ended.

1 draws and 1 losses.

The defending champion lost face.

Especially the performance at home, was criticized by Fleet Street for having no courage and lack of enterprising spirit!
