Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Christmas.

Shen Hao didn't go anywhere. It was freezing outside. He would rather stay in the hotel, with the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms. It felt more comfortable to have someone warm the quilt to keep each other warm.

Boxing Day battle.

Leeds United face Manchester City at home.

Before the game, Shen Hao publicly responded to the matter about Vieri.

"There is no focus at the moment. We have recruitment targets in January, but the priority is the defense."

Shen Hao's statement can be described as extremely arrogant.

While other teams were vying for Vieri, Leeds United did not gain a favorable impression from public opinion or extend an olive branch sincerely.

Fleet Street believes Leeds United need Vieri, or rather a striker.

And Vieri is obviously the best choice now.

But Leeds United also showed unexpected confidence.

They don't lower their profile for one player.

It was a relaxed atmosphere at Elland Road on Boxing Day evening.

Local fans are on Christmas vacation, and there are many Santa Claus cosplayers in the stands, as well as young fans holding homemade simple Premier League championship trophies.

Before Shen Hao walked out of the players' tunnel, he saw the Manchester City generals lined up and ready to appear.

He greeted one of them.

The other person nodded to him in response.

Chinese player Lao Sun.

Shen Hao's coaching career has no intersection with the opponent.

However, the other party had a teammate relationship with Shen Guoqiang who had played side by side in the national team.

In terms of seniority, Lao Sun is Shen Hao's uncle. However, Shen Guoqiang competes at a very high age, which naturally makes Shen Hao lower than others in terms of seniority.

Shen Hao is not an old man, so he doesn't care about seniority or anything like that.

Just say hello out of courtesy and stop by the time you click.

Leeds United and Manchester City players will make their debut.

The Chinese media and fans are quite excited.

"It's too much to say that there is a civil war in China. Sun is only playing for Manchester City and is not the core of Manchester City."

"It's harmful, it's all a media gimmick and hype!"

"But this game does have a different flavor. In the Premier League, there is a Chinese coach and a Chinese star."

"Brother Hao's opponent is never any player."

"Oh, it's just a gimmick."

The Christmas Devil race begins.

Leeds United's starting lineup is very novel for fans.

Rivaldo, Davis, and Toldo were specially allowed to go home for the holidays.

Leeds United formed a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Sullivan.

Defenders: Kelly, Gregan, Kilgallon, Baines.

Midfielder: Ribery, Jamie Redknapp, Seth Johnson, Candela.

Forwards: Claudio Lopez, Batistuta.

Many fans looked dazed.

"Half a season has passed, and we finally see Xiaochong and God of War appear at the same time!"

"Such a striker combination, apart from satisfying the fans' feelings, may not necessarily make Leeds United the strongest."

"Of course, without Rivaldo, how can he be considered the strongest?"

The game begins.

Leeds United's 442 today focused on both wings flying together.

Their first offensive was pretty routine.

Batistuta and Lopez also failed to complete the goal in the penalty area and were cleared by Manchester City with a smooth header.

Manchester City's offense also focuses on the wings.

Today, Lao Sun was placed in the position of full midfielder, and he couldn't see many bright spots in the offense. He only played his part.

However, Manchester City gained something by attacking from the other side.

Sinclair made a pass from the left, and Kilgallon also completed a header to clear the ball.

However, Joey Barton controlled the ball in the middle of the frontcourt and then hit the ball back to the left.

Sinclair made another pass.

Vasseur, who is known for his speed, moved to interfere with the defense. French forward Sibylski ran behind the opponent but happened to receive Sinclair's cross and fired the ball with a volley.

There are obvious signs of kicking defects.

But the football flew into the top left corner of the Leeds United goal.

Sullivan was helpless.

Elland Road suddenly fell silent.

Manchester City fans were overjoyed.

Is Leeds United going to give a big gift on Boxing Day?

Shen Hao remained calm and carried out most of the rotations today because he wanted most of the veterans to have a good holiday.

Manchester City took the lead in the away game.

It's a dream start.

Leeds United fans couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

I am afraid that the devil's schedule will become a turning point in the team's road to the championship.

Before kick-off, Shen Hao gestured to the team.

Keep a good attitude and concentrate.

Leeds United are off to a nightmare start.

But the team's counterattack was strong.

Manchester City's goal completely wiped out their relaxed and happy Christmas mood!

If we lose at home on Boxing Day, this Christmas will be almost like Qingming Festival.

Manchester City leads the score and obviously pays more attention to defense.

Little has changed offensively for Leeds United.

Jamie Redknapp organizes and distributes the ball in the midfield, Ribery and Candela attack back and forth from the wings, and they have the ability to cross the ball when the opportunity arises.

Without a chance, he started at a 45-degree angle from the wing.

Ribery on the right has the ability to advance personally.

Candela is supported by Baynes on the left.

The continuous bombing from the side suddenly made Leeds United fans discover a situation that they had not noticed before.

"It turns out that we can also play the traditional British wing attack with great success!"

"The efficiency and threat presented by all techniques and tactics are derived from the strength of the players. As long as the strength is sufficient, controlling different techniques and tactics is not a problem at all."

Just after 15 minutes of the game, Baynes' cross from the left caused chaos in the penalty area.

Batistuta and defender Distin were fighting, and the two blocked the ball in the penalty area.

Lopez passed by and fired first.

The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper David James was hit in the face and could only watch the ball and sigh.

Leeds United equalized the score.

Manchester City coach Pierce frowned slightly.

It seems that Manchester City's strengthening of defense after taking the lead has actually enabled Leeds United to continuously improve their status.

When Manchester City kicked off and increased their offensive again, Leeds United's overall state soared and already suppressed them.

Ten minutes later, Ribery dribbled in from the right and delivered a direct pass into the penalty area.

Batistuta took the initiative to make a move and was unable to turn around. He then knocked the ball back and found Jamie Redknapp who came in from behind. The latter changed the direction of the ball to dodge Joey Barton's press, and then took off. Bang the door.

The football flew into the penalty area and accidentally hit defender Onuoha's calf and then redirected.

David James was about to jump to make a save while he was on the move, but he watched in astonishment as the football refracted and flew into the goal!

The Elland Road stadium was filled with thunderous cheers.

"Jamie Redknapp scores from long range! Leeds United takes the lead!"

"Haha, this goal is as full of surprises as a Christmas gift."

"I have to say that Manchester City is a bit unlucky."

Leeds United fans dance with joy.

After the team's large-scale rotation, they can still perform like this, they are absolutely extremely excited.

Because this also reflects the strength of Leeds United from the side.

"It's hard to imagine that two years ago today, we were struggling in the relegation zone of the Premier League. One year ago today, we were dominating the Championship. Today, we lead the Premier League!"

"If there is a savior in this world, it must be Shen!"

"Leeds United cannot live without Shen, just like the West cannot live without Jerusalem."

Manchester City is a little confused.

From leading to being overtaken.

Such changes are naturally difficult for them to accept.

As a result, they further strengthened their offensive rhythm to launch a counterattack.

Leeds United's offensive and defensive posture remains unchanged.

The scene suddenly became very intense.

Joey Barton, the bad boy, did something wrong when defending Jamie Redknapp.

Jamie Redknapp was sent off at the cost of a yellow card.

Jamie Redknapp is out injured.

Shen Hao would never get used to this kind of player.

Carlisle came on as a substitute and played as a defensive midfielder.

Shen Hao signaled to Ribery and Candela, asking them to step back and respond.

The midfield organization is almost useless and can only rely on the attack group itself to find opportunities.

Soon after Carlisle came on the scene, he knocked Joey Barton over in the air during a head-to-head duel.

Joey Barton rolled to the ground, landing almost head first.

As soon as he stood up and went to find Carlisle to settle the score, he was spinning again and again, staggering for two steps before falling down.

The Manchester City team doctor was startled and immediately rushed onto the field to check Joey Barton's injury.

The initial diagnosis was a concussion.

Pierce was forced to make a substitution.

Stuart Pearce has no coaching achievements in English football, but he has strong connections.

The Nottingham Forest legend took charge of the Three Lions' youth teams directly after retiring.

It is still the case, strictly speaking, he is the youth team coach of the Three Lions first, and then the coach of Manchester City.

At the end of last season, he took over Manchester City as the firefighting coach.

His long-standing role as Three Lions youth team coach has given him good relations with English clubs.

He is a good talker when dealing with people.

Joey Barton's injury only cost Carlisle a yellow card.

Pearce walked up to the fourth official in protest.

He seemed a little aggrieved, and even if he wanted to be angry, he couldn't express any strong words or actions.

Shen Hao glanced at him and stopped paying attention.

A tick for a tick.

Anyway, he has never had the idea of ​​"a gentleman's revenge is never too late".

If you can understand your grudges today, you will never let them stay overnight.

Manchester City was somewhat frightened by the scene of Joey Barton's concussion.

We are all players and obviously know how serious it is.

Players in the top leagues mostly have bodies made of steel.

They all looked at Carlisle with fear.

"The Butcher of Leeds", notorious!

Before the end of the half, Manchester City, who could not pose a threat, played more and more urgently, but instead allowed Leeds United to seize the opportunity.

Candela didn't show enough threat on the left today.

Ribery lived up to expectations, dribbling from the backcourt and delivering key passes.

Batistuta kicked the ball when receiving in front of the penalty area line, completing a dream connection with Lopez.

Batistuta turned around and moved forward. Lopez controlled the ball and faked a dunk to complete the breakthrough. He then sent a wonderful pass and found Batistuta just in time.

The old God of War fired furiously from the right rib area of ​​the penalty area, and the ball hit the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball!

"Bati go...al! This is a masterpiece of the former Argentine national team's striker combination!"

"Haha, the Argentinian striker has overturned the Premier League. Fleet Street and England fans are probably going to be furious!"

Due to the historical conflicts between England and Argentina, the antagonism on the court can be imagined.

Although this will not specifically target an Argentine player, unless that Argentine player is named Maradona, who makes his classic background all in England?

Five players scored in a row and with the hand of God, England felt as if they had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out.

But Leeds United has a lot of Argentinian players... which is a little different.

The two strikers on the front line are Simeone in the midfield and Redondo in the back line.

It is not surprising that sometimes Fleet Street will say sarcastically that Leeds United do not consider the psychological feelings of English fans at all.

But it won't become mainstream either.

Fans are not fools and can distinguish right from wrong.

When it comes time to target every Argentine player, he can only be embarrassed and have no pattern.

Halftime is over.

Leeds United leads Manchester City 3:1.

Shen Hao did not return to the locker room.

The half-time show at Elland Road was unique.

The female cheerleading team donned special Christmas outfits.

The red and white Santa hat, corset and skirt are also red with white edges.

It makes people happy just looking at it.

Shen Hao didn't know whether this was specifically requested by Chen Hao or whether the girl group arranged it themselves.

Anyway, it is pleasing to the eye and especially suitable for the holidays, making Elland Road Stadium feel like a grand Christmas party.

The game came to the second half.

Manchester City does not have particularly good ideas or routines in attack.

Instead, I felt very anxious.

Perhaps falling behind by two goals made them aware of the crisis.

In danger.

If you can't get a goal back as soon as possible.

I'm afraid that the result of winning first and losing later will be confirmed.

Leeds United continue to fly on both sides.

At the 60th minute of the game, Shen Hao replaced Ribery with Mendieta.

Ribery came off the pitch to wild cheers and applause.

Mendieta came on the scene, worked hard and actively, and got into shape instantly.

Leeds United's attack has more changes in the frontcourt.

After all, Mendieta has outstanding organizational skills.

First, they made trouble inside. When the game was approaching 70 minutes, they suddenly dribbled through from the right and made a pass from the bottom.

Claudio Lopez scored with a header from both sides of the goal!

Leeds United 4:1 Manchester City.

The fans were excited and cheered wildly.

Shen Hao continued to make substitutions.

Michael Gray replaces Claudio Lopez.

Leeds United strengthened their defense.

Manchester City seized the opportunity to score a goal with Andy Cole, who came on as a substitute, at the last minute.

But that doesn't change the outcome.

The Boxing Day war comes to an end.

Leeds United defeated Manchester City 4:2.

In the pleasant atmosphere of cheering fans, Shen Hao left the stage with a smile on his face.

In an interview after the game, Shen Hao was asked by reporters about Mendieta's performance as a substitute.

He dealt with a few words.

But it also made him realize that there must be other clubs that have ideas about Mendieta, so that there will be public attention.

But he had already had a formal conversation with Mendieta before.

It can be regarded as a verbal agreement.

So he didn't take it to heart.

Devil's Schedule Leeds United got off to a good start, but the series of battles has just begun.

There is less than 48 hours between the Boxing Day battles.

Leeds United will go to East London to challenge West Ham United.

Given that both teams had large-scale fan conflicts after last season's British Championship game.

The Football Association sent warnings to both teams before the game.

It’s the holidays.

Don't make yourself uncomfortable!

Whoever dares to cause trouble will be severely punished!
