Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

McLaren didn't dare to look at Shen Hao at the Riverside Stadium.

The ridicule of Leeds United fans and the glare of the spotlight.

It made him feel ashamed.

Almost reaching the top four last season made McLaren very high-spirited, but now the team is struggling in the middle and lower reaches of the standings and seems to have been brought back to its original shape.

Middlesbrough still have to adjust.

Viduka, who performed poorly, was replaced by Hasselbaink.

Tangning, who had almost only one pass from the bottom, finally sent a pass 10 minutes into the second half.

Hasselbaink came on as a substitute and made great achievements.

But the excitement among Middlesbrough fans was extremely limited.

After recovering one goal, we were still three goals behind.

However, Leeds United also made substitution adjustments near the 60th minute.

Rivaldo went off to rest and Mendieta came on.

The blood pressure of Middlesbrough fans is soaring!

McLaren's facial muscles twitched and he almost didn't dare to look at the stadium again.

"Killing the heart! Killing the heart!"

"Haha, we shouldn't scold McLaren, we should thank him."

"Who would have thought that Mendieta could miraculously get back on his feet at Leeds United after being seriously injured!"

"If Brother Hao hadn't insisted on staying, Mendieta would have returned to Valencia or gone to Seville by now."

Leeds United's offensive intensity has not weakened much.

There are just some changes in play style and structure.

Mendieta makes their offense more creative but reduces the threat of cutting inside.

When Ribery received Mendieta's overhead pass while cutting inside, he had time to fully adjust and hit a volley from the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

The football flies into the far corner of the goal.

Wonderful and shocking!

Leeds United leads Middlesbrough 5:1.

McLaren was stunned, looking at the field in a daze.

"Okay, McLaren is stunned."

"What level is Middlesbrough? If you really give Rivaldo to them, will they use it well?"

Shen Hao continued to make substitutions.

Middlesbrough was able to qualify for the Europa League last season, and this team still has something going for it.

Although by top-tier standards, not much.

But after all, he still showed his tenacious side.

After Kompany and Baines came off the bench, Middlesbrough scored again in the 80th minute of the game!

Once again the score gap was reduced to three goals.

Before the end, Mendieta received the ball from Vieri after entering the penalty area, and accurately pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal.

The icing on the cake.

Leeds United slaughtered Middlesbrough 6:2 away from home!

Facing the camera after the race, Shen Hao did not insult McLaren.

Middlesbrough had previously made offers for many Leeds United players. Although their words and deeds were offensive, they were not out of line.

Are other teams not allowed to bid for Leeds United players?

As for the low wages paid to players by Leeds United, this is just an expression of human nature.

...

Stamford Bridge.

When the final whistle sounded, the Chelsea generals were filled with resentment.

Mourinho looked expressionless, and Blues fans were worried.

Chelsea 1:1 Charlton.

They never expected to lose points to an underdog.

Leeds United leads the standings alone after winning this round, and Chelsea is once again 2 points behind.

Mourinho remained calm in front of the media after the game.

"There are still 15 rounds of the league, and anything can happen."

Leeds United regained the lead at the top of the table.

Moreover, after the previous rest, the team's current condition has obviously begun to soar!

Defeating the opponent with big scores in two consecutive rounds is the best proof.

The second leg of the League Cup semi-finals arrives as scheduled in midweek.

Arsene Wenger said before the game that Arsenal would give its best at home.

Shen Hao believed it.

Then Shen Hao brought the main force to Highbury Stadium.

When Wenger and Arsenal fans saw Leeds United's starting lineup, they suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

“Today’s starting lineup in Baiyi is really damn tough!

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Kelly, Redondo, DeBoer, Candela.

Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Roy Keane, Davies, Simeone.

Forwards: Vieri, Ribery.

If nothing else, the midfielder is definitely full of hardness. "

“Haha, Arsenal did play a lot of main players.

Goalkeeper: Almunia.

Defenders: Lauren, Senderos, Campbell, Gilbert.

Midfielder: Diaby, Hleb, Gilberto Silva.

Forwards: Reyes, Bergkamp, ​​Henry. "

"We defeated Arsenal 1:0 at home in the first round. Arsenal want to make a comeback at Highbury in the second round? Brother Hao's formation has said it all. The Whites will not give them a chance!"

When the game started, Leeds United directly adopted a defensive counterattack posture.

Wenger felt a little heavy.

When Reyes was intercepted by Roy Keane on the right, a haze seemed to hang over the hearts of all Arsenal fans.

Leeds United's quick counterattack reached the frontcourt, and Vieri wanted to bully Senderos again. Fortunately, Campbell's zone defense prevented Vieri from making trouble.

Wenger looked at Leeds United's lineup and said he was not envious. It would be a lie.

But if you really want him to sign like Leeds United, he can't do it.

This is a very strange state.

It is very similar to Mourinho's mentality in the opening game.

It is difficult for Mourinho to be interested in Leeds United players in the transfer market. He only has the benefit of hindsight. After seeing the performance of Ribery and Rivaldo, most of them will be eager for talents.

Wenger, on the other hand, focuses on discovering young players.

Not interested in veterans.

But when these players put on Leeds United jerseys, they look more and more like they have a terrifying sense of déjà vu!

It seems as if their former peak style can be reproduced in Leeds United!

Arsenal's midfield organization is very poor, with Jamie Redknapp and Davies in the middle.

Simeone and Roy Keane are on both sides.

The defense line is tight, like an iron wall.

Just after 15 minutes of the game, Jamie Redknapp received a pass from Candela in the middle of the backcourt, and then crossed the half-court and sent a direct pass.

Vieri turned around with the ball and continued to advance. When he saw the panicked Senderos actively approaching Campbell to form a zone defense, Vieri dribbled closer to the two before passing the ball diagonally to the open area in front of the left.

Senderos turned and chased back, but Ribery, who was at his peak speed, had already cut inside to get away from him.

After entering the penalty area, Ribery volleyed.

The football flew into the lower left corner of the goal without a trace of spin.

I deliberately made a reverse cut line.

Almunia's save was beyond his reach.

The Arsenal fans in the Highbury stands looked as if they were mourning.

"Fuck, we are the main force, will the home court also fall?"

"Leeds United only knows how to defend against counterattacks, they are shameless!"

"It seems logical for them to defend against counterattacks. After all, the cost of building a team is not high..."

Wenger felt even heavier.

The competition for fourth place in the league is getting further and further away, and the rise of Leeds United has become unstoppable.

This is bad news for traditional big4!

Moreover, Leeds United’s ability to train new players cannot be underestimated.

The outside world only paid attention to the sudden resurgence of more veterans in Leeds United and became more energetic.

But it's easy to overlook Lennon, who shone at Leeds United last season.

And Franck Ribery, who has almost locked up the Premier League rookie title this season!

The veterans become stronger with age, while the rookies forge ahead with determination.

In Wenger's eyes, Leeds United has risen like a comet and is shaking up the Premier League.

After the era of competition between Arsenal and Manchester United was just ended by the sudden emergence of Chelsea, the Premier League structure in the new era will be even more chaotic.

When all the powers compete for hegemony, there must be a seat in white clothes!

Being behind at home aroused the anger of the Arsenal generals, and their fighting spirit increased to a higher level.

But he wanted to turn the situation around and fight his way through Leeds United's tight defense.

Obviously in the absence of a creative organizer like Fabregas, more can only rely on the individual abilities of the players.

Looking at the game, the most capable player on the field today is none other than Henry.

When Henry began dribbling wildly on the left, frequently trying to tear apart Leeds United's defense with variations on dribbling and controlling the ball, Leeds United's defense was naturally under tremendous pressure.

Leeds United's excessive concentration on Henry caused Bergkamp to have room to play when he retreated.

As the game approached 30 minutes, Henry passed the ball from the inside of the left wing of the frontcourt.

Bergkamp controlled the ball at the top of the penalty area and changed direction to dodge the pressure from Roy Keane. Seeing that he would encounter Redondo forward, he passed the ball across the right side.

Candela returned to defense to guard Reyes, who was showing no improvement.

However, Hleb suddenly made a forward move and spiked the ball in a different direction to break through DeBoer as soon as he entered the penalty area. Redondo stretched his legs in a hurry to intercept, but the result was too slow.

The ball passed and the man was brought to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle and pointed at the penalty spot in the Leeds United penalty area.

Arsenal fans cheered.

The Leeds United general accepted the penalty calmly.

Nothing to argue with.

It was indeed a penalty.

Henry took the initiative to give the penalty kick to Reyes.

Expect Reyes to boost his confidence by scoring from the penalty spot.

Even Shen Hao had to admire Henry, the King of Highbury, for his team spirit.

Simply speaking, penalty kicks.

It's definitely not best for Reyes to take the penalty.

But if Reyes makes the free throw.

For Arsenal as a whole, it is not just as simple as equalizing the score.

Reyes vs. Toldo.

All eyes.

Shen Hao was actually prepared to lose the ball.

Available in the next second.

Reyes shot the ball after running up.

Toldo made a flying save and blocked the ball with one palm!

"Oh my God! Toldo saved Reyes' penalty!"

"Roy Keane makes the save!"

"Hahaha, Arsenal is disappointed, fly! Fly!"

Shen Hao couldn't hold back and laughed.

Then applause.

Leeds United will go and high-five Toldo.

Reyes lowered his head even more sadly.

Henry had to give him a few words of encouragement.

But apparently it has no effect.

Arsenal's situation will only become more difficult.

Henry tried his best to create threats.

But facing the tight blockade from Leeds United, it was obviously difficult for him to get through alone.

At the end of the first half, Leeds United quickly counterattacked and swept the frontcourt.

Ribery dribbled in and then collided with Vieri against the wall. Vieri passed the ball back to him and then ran directly behind Campbell.

Ribery, after Lauren returned to the center of defense, spiked the ball and rushed in from the outside.

Entering the penalty area, he immediately made a pass from the outside of the left rib.

The football quickly rolled towards the back of the goal.

It seems to pass and shoot.

Just when the football was about to roll in front of the far post, Vieri rushed in, stretched out his legs and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, and ran out of the baseline from the outside of the goal post.

He glanced at the linesman and did not raise the flag to indicate offside.

So he opened his arms and ran towards the visiting team's fans' stands.

"Wow! Vieri scores again!"

"In January of 2006, Vieri was the player in white jersey who was in the hottest form and scored the most goals. His feet were so hot!"

"The total score is 3:0 ahead of Arsenal. As the defending champion of the League Cup, the white jersey will compete in the League Cup final again this year!"

"I hope Manchester United won't pull the crotch."

During the halftime break, the two coaches returned to the locker room for training and adjustments.

Wenger looked unhappy.

The home court is in danger of being lost, which is unacceptable to a strong team at any time.

Before the start of the second half, Pires and Robin van Persie came on the stage.

Reyes and Diaby were replaced respectively.

Arsenal changes 442.

Leeds United made no personnel changes.

After the start of the second half of the game, the confrontation on the field became obviously more intense.

Leeds United are unwilling to spend too much and deliberately slow down the pace.

Henry continued the difficult blasting project with the support of Pires, Bergkamp and Hleb.

Leeds United's counterattack frequently encountered snipers in the frontcourt.

Arsenal traded fouls for forgiveness.

After 60 minutes of the game, Shen Hao made a substitution.

Gregan and Seth Johnson replaced Redondo and Simeone respectively.

Remove the two oldest veterans and improve the energy.

Arsenal forced to speed up, Henry was very exhausted, but his performance was also dazzling.

The individual ball control breakthrough and the continuous cooperation with teammates in local areas are dazzling.

If Leeds United hadn't given Arsenal enough offensive space, I'm afraid Arsenal would have been able to play more threatening offenses.

Just after the 70th minute of the game, Bergkamp switched positions with Henry, and the former sent a diagonal pass in response.

Pires made a pass from outside.

Henry rushed to the door and shot sideways.

The football flew past Toldo before he hit the ground.

Toldo could have blocked it but was unable to save it.

Arsenal recovers a goal!

Gunners fans cheered loudly when they saw hope.

Henry got up and rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.

"The total score became 3:1, and we only led by 2 goals."

"There are still 20 minutes left. As long as Arsenal don't score any more goals, we will probably get through."

Shen Hao decisively used up the last substitution spot.

Michael Gray comes on to replace Franck Ribery.

Leeds United has officially entered a defensive state.

The midfielders have nothing to worry about either.

A frantic campaign began to destroy Arsenal's offensive organization.

In the face of tighter defense, Arsenal is even more difficult to move.

Even Henry can't make waves.

Shen Hao stood on the sidelines and looked at the field calmly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Arsenal fans are getting increasingly desperate.

Wenger's heart sank to the bottom.

In the League Cup semi-finals, his team suffered huge losses in the second round.

But still couldn't make a comeback.

The final whistle blows.

Leeds United fans rejoice!

"Advancing to the League Cup final for two consecutive years!"

"In the English Championship, we are the strongest relegated team, and in the Premier League, we are the strongest promoted team!"

"Shit Manchester United will definitely knock out Blackburn tomorrow night!"
