Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Cardiff, Wales.

The sun was shining brightly on Sunday.

A main road leading to the Millennium Stadium was occupied by a huge crowd of Leeds fans.

Like a giant white dragon crawling slowly on the street.

"Liz, move forward!"

popping.

"Glory belongs to white!"

popping.

"With the great team!"

popping.

Wherever the white-clad fans passed, vehicles and crowds kept out of the way.

Even though it is suspected of causing traffic nuisance.

But who cares?

Leeds United has advanced to the League Cup final for two consecutive years, and Leeds United fans are extremely proud and proud.

While I am full of ambition, I feel like I have the whole world under my feet!

Not to mention tiny Cardiff.

Now they feel that the British Isles are trembling in front of them!

The momentum is huge and the atmosphere is majestic.

When approaching the Millennium Stadium, even Manchester United fans consciously gave in.

For fear of causing a conflict with completely unequal power.

The much-anticipated Millennium Stadium gradually became crowded and packed with seats.

The flags of the two teams were waved vigorously by the fans, slogans could be seen everywhere, and the slogans were shocking.

The sea of ​​red and white is rolling and boiling, and a championship battle is coming as scheduled.

In the VIP box, Xiao Ruoan came from China to witness Leeds United's championship battle.

Xiao Zheyuan also took time off from Portugal to attend the event in person.

Tan Youyou was nowhere to be seen. It was said that he was too busy with his domestic career and had no time to do anything else.

Chen Hao unexpectedly saw Zhao Xin appear.

"Why is your old man willing to come abroad? Aren't you afraid that you will get into trouble and you won't be able to survive?"

Zhao Xin laughed.

"Didn't I come here alone? When I get here, I have to rely on Brother Hao to protect me."

After saying this, he winked at Chen Hao.

Needless to say, the two of them will definitely work together, and there will definitely be no shortage of fun.

Xiao Ruo'an and Tang Jinyu exchanged views on the club's recent operating conditions.

Tang Jinyu didn't hide it.

The profits from results and attention have allowed Leeds to thrive.

The development prospects are bright.

The starting players of both teams appeared on the field.

Ferguson and Shen Hao will naturally become the focus.

The two teams had just staged an unforgettable Rose Derby at Elland Road a week ago.

Leeds United defeated Manchester United 5:2.

Even Fleet Street is convinced: Ferguson’s ultimate enemy has surfaced!

Leeds Tyrant!

The confrontation between Shen Hao and Ferguson is not only a continuation of the hatred of the Rose Derby, but also an inevitable challenge to the traditional hegemony from the rise of new players.

At present, Leeds United is expected to be the big winner this season.

"Good evening, everyone in white. Are you ready? Tonight, Leeds United, as the defending League Cup champions, will meet with their arch-rival Manchester United at the Millennium Stadium to compete for the 2005-2006 League Cup championship!"

"Looking at Manchester United's starting lineup, it is no different from a week ago. Leeds United only replaced Claudio Lopez with Vieri."

"Will today be a repeat of the Rose Derby a week ago? We certainly expect Leeds United to defend their League Cup title, especially by defeating their arch-rivals Manchester United!"

"Without further ado, let's cheer for Bai Yi and create greater glory!"

Although Leeds United doubled Manchester United in the league.

But Shen Hao did not underestimate the enemy.

For today's final, he still formulated a careful battle plan.

Manchester United's accumulated anger and accumulated experience will certainly enable them to make better adjustments.

People are still those people.

But the playing style and mental preparation must be different.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The League Cup final has officially begun.

Shen Hao and Ferguson supervised the battle with focused expressions.

Both Manchester United and Leeds United showed caution after the start.

There is nothing to fight for in the midfield.

Neither team's midfield creativity is strong enough.

The midfielder is prepared to intercept the opponent and can better contain the opponent's threatening offensive.

The confrontation remains fierce and the pace of the game is fast.

Both wings took turns trying, but they both hit a wall.

The scene seemed to be at a stalemate.

But just after 20 minutes of the game, Leeds United launched a fast break and Candela took the lead in the frontcourt.

After hitting the wall with Ribery, he made a pass.

Vieri collided with Ferdinand during the impact. Although the latter barely managed to clear the ball with a header, he fell to the ground.

After getting up, Ferdinand roared at the referee, believing that Vieri should be called for a foul.

As a result, the referee was indifferent and gave Leeds a corner kick.

Leeds United failed to threaten from the corner kick.

The football released by Silvestre was controlled by Rooney outside the penalty area.

This aroused Shen Hao's vigilance.

Rooney is obviously closer to the attacking midfielder today.

Manchester United also plays more like a 4231 formation.

Rooney split the ball to find Giggs under tight siege, and then Manchester United's entire front line charged.

Saha took the initiative to support Giggs's sudden attack from the wing.

Giggs cooperated with him in passing and cutting, and then passed the midfielder, and then sent the ball to the right side of the frontcourt with a long diagonal pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo controlled the ball on the right and cut inside, allowing Candela, who was chasing straight back, to clear the air.

When encountering Simeone and De Boer, Cristiano Ronaldo poked the ball to the center.

Rooney sprinted up and took advantage of the situation to change the direction of the ball and directly beat Redondo's defense zone.

The Red Devils fans were extremely excited and suppressed their excitement.

Leeds United fans took a breath and were shocked.

It's single-handed!

Rooney just dribbled to the penalty area and kicked the goal.

The football shot like a white rainbow through the sun, flying against the lower edge of the crossbar and into the goal!

"Rooney's explosive shot was so beautiful! I have nothing to say, it was an impeccable goal!"

"Manchester United's style of play became more efficient today."

"Yeah, I thought Ronaldinho could stick to the ball, but he didn't. It was really a shocking change."

Rooney ran to celebrate, and Manchester United fans pumped their fists and roared excitedly.

"Revenge is today!"

"Does Leeds United think we are destined to be defeated? You have provoked the wrong people!"

"We have been riding on your heads throughout the Premier League era, and we will step on you in the next 100 years!"

Ferguson clapped his hands and applauded, but there was no joy on his face.

Manchester United is showing signs of revival.

Rooney's growth actually belongs to the peak of his debut.

He shined in the 2004 European Cup and became England's new golden boy.

Very much like Owen in the 98 World Cup.

When he became famous all over the world, he was already very capable.

In addition to continuing to grow after joining Manchester United, the accumulation of experience is even more important.

But for Manchester United, the most important point that brings about improvement in overall strength is Cristiano Ronaldo.

His ability is also very strong since his debut.

It's just that the integration of his abilities with the team is not smooth.

Today's final is very different from his performance last season.

There is no more beautiful work that makes people shine but in the end they can only sigh helplessly.

Become more integrated with the team.

This made Shen Hao feel heavy.

He doesn't know if Leeds United's double defeat of Manchester United catalyzed Manchester United's growth.

If your heart is strong enough, adversity is the best soil for growth.

It not only allows people to see the reality clearly, but also gives enough pressure.

Manchester United has the ability to break fast.

This forced Shen Hao to signal to the team that the team should be more cautious in defense.

The Red Devils took the lead and their morale was boosted.

The status continues to improve.

But Leeds United also broke out with strong combat effectiveness due to the sense of urgency brought by falling behind.

Leeds United took the initiative to speed up, resulting in more melee confrontations and mistakes in the game.

When the Manchester United midfielder is forced to pass the ball forward from Park Ji-sung or O'Shea, it is easy to make mistakes.

The same is true for Leeds United. Roy Keane and Simeone are not the kind of pure fools who can't control the ball.

However, under the pressure and harassment of Rooney and Saha, the pass was also slightly hasty and lost its accuracy.

It is also related to the fact that the pace of the game is too fast and the situation changes rapidly.

The passing line visible to the naked eye will be quickly cut off by the opponent to complete the interception after the ball is released.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams made the audience's blood boil.

While cheering, I almost forgot the passage of time.

After 30 minutes of the game, Ribery's extensive retreat eased the chaotic situation.

Shen Hao nodded slightly.

If Ribery has any advantages during his rapid growth stage, it must be obedience.

Not so much mess.

In the 33rd minute, Ribery retreated to receive Davis' pass, and he immediately dribbled forward.

Gary Neville took the initiative to defend and teamed up with Park Ji-sung to launch a pincer attack on Ribery.

Ribery decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left.

Candela rushed to the frontcourt at lightning speed, and took advantage of the situation to stop and rush towards the dangerous area.

Ferdinand moved slightly to the side and tried to block Candela, but he could only block the inside.

Candela went directly to the ball and passed in front of the baseline.

Silvestre retreated quickly, and Vieri had no chance to outflank him in the middle.

The football headed by Silvestre flew outside the penalty area.

O'Shea tried to make a rescue, but Davis rushed up first, jumped and then flicked his head to ferry.

The football flew to the right area in front of the penalty area.

Rivaldo took the initiative to respond and before the football landed, he volleyed the ball with the arch of his left foot towards the right rib of the penalty area.

This volley pass made all the spectators open their eyes.

Surprised all four!

Full of energy!

Everyone saw that Vieri, who was retreating, turned around and rushed forward. Before the football hit the ground, he unloaded the ball with his right foot, and then in the next step, he swung his leg and hit the goal!

The football shot into the goal from the inside of the near post like a shooting star!

Millennium Stadium shakes!

Leeds United fans cheered wildly.

The Manchester United generals raised their hands to indicate that Vieri was offside.

But the linesman was unmoved.

"Oh my God! What an incredible cooperation?! Davis headed the ball, Rivaldo sent a wonderful pass in the air, and Vieri shot immediately after stopping the ball. In one go, a shocking and crucial goal was born!"

"Leeds United equalized the score, and Manchester United may be happy too soon!"

"If we can beat Manchester United twice, we can beat Manchester United three times!"

Manchester United fans looked ugly.

Although Leeds United's goals are different, the essence in the eyes of old fans is similar.

It's a problem stemming from Manchester United's defense.

The midfield is not strong enough and there are gaps in the defense.

That's it.

Ferguson couldn't help but glance at the two defenders on the bench.

French full-back Evra, and Serbian center back Vidic.

Both of them joined Manchester United in the winter transfer window.

If Ferguson knew that Shen Hao actually thought about competing with Manchester United during the winter transfer window.

But Vidic needs more than 700 million pounds and Evra almost 500 million pounds.

For Leeds United, grabbing Vidic will be more important.

Because he is a central defender.

Evra, on the other hand, is not a necessity.

Leeds United's finances do not allow Shen Hao to buy people at will when signings are not necessary.

So in the end he gave up the idea.

If he really takes action but fails to win.

It will definitely make Ferguson determined to focus on cultivating these two people at the expense of record.

Now these two are at the stage of integrating into the team and adapting to the Premier League at Manchester United.

Therefore, they are not the main players, but will be given playing time in appropriate games.

Ferguson was lost in thought.

If Silvestre and Wes Brown prove not enough to be a championship piece.

Then it would be a wiser choice to start Vidic and Evra earlier.

This does not mean that Evra and Vidic are better.

But the upper limits of Silvestre and Wes Brown have been determined by him to be insufficient to become champions.

Evra and Vidic are still full of unknowns.

Perhaps they will prove to be mere passers-by in United's process of replacing players.

It may also bring surprises to Manchester United. Two or one of them becomes indispensable to the team.

Shen Hao raised his arms and applauded the goal.

After not falling behind for long, the team equalizes the score and morale will improve.

Manchester United kick off.

The sun shines on the Millennium Stadium, making it seem to be coated with a layer of brilliance.

Leeds United fans sang loudly.

They firmly believe that this season will be a turning point in the times and the prelude to the white shirt becoming the protagonist of English football.

The confrontation between the two teams is still fierce.

With Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs flying together on both wings, and Rooney acting as the second forward, Manchester United created a lot of threats with the continuous impact of the fast pace in the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot slid past, showing a look of unwillingness and anxiety.

Rooney's back play was also very impactful, and Redondo and De Boer tried their best to limit it.

Saha, who had the best chance, missed the opportunity in the penalty area.

His shot sent the ball directly into Toldo's arms.

Manchester United fans were beating their chests and going crazy.

Ferguson shook his head slightly.

Facts have proved that Saha is not qualified for the Manchester United center position.

Perhaps the ideal puzzle in his mind should be a trident of Cristiano Ronaldo, Giggs and Rooney.

However, due to the lack of major players in the midfield, the problem of lineup configuration and structure will never be independent.

This made Ferguson inevitably stretched and in a dilemma when it came to arranging his troops.

Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end.

When Rivaldo controlled and dribbled the ball at a constant speed on the right side of the frontcourt, he attracted fans, Wes Brown and Giggs to surround him.

In the short-hand encounter, Rivaldo retreated instead of advancing. He controlled the ball and took a step back along the sideline before sending a cross pass.

Davis moved forward, and his strong speed impact made O'Shea passive in frontal interception.

While turning around to pursue, Davis passed the ball diagonally toward the center of the penalty area.

Vieri took the initiative to receive the ball, changed direction and retreated to avoid Silvestre's pressing interception, and then used his right foot to slant the ball into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Davis continued to break through Manchester United's back line.

Pass the ball back to the center of the penalty area in front of the baseline.

Ferdinand blocks the center.

But at this moment he looked back and saw that in front of the penalty spot, Ribery suddenly cut inside and shot the ball cleanly.

The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

The moment he scored, Ribery rushed straight to the sidelines without stopping, leaped high and punched the air.

Scarface roared angrily, his sharp edge revealed, and his momentum was terrifying!

Leeds United took the lead at halftime!
