Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Villa Park Stadium.

McLaren is in high spirits.

The league record is impressive, and the cup competition is brilliant.

He has entered the attention of the Football Association in selecting coaches, which is well known in the circle.

He certainly has reason to be complacent.

Facing Leeds United led by Shen Hao, McLaren also has the confidence to eliminate his opponents.

Without him.

Leeds United's title race is in serious danger!

At least that's what it looks like with points tied with Chelsea.

Middlesbrough played their best, and Leeds United also went all out.

When the game started, the two teams immediately launched a fierce confrontation.

Middlesbrough don't have many options in attack.

Downing and Rosenback crossed from the wing, and Hasselbaink and Jakub hit the goal.

Leeds United went tit for tat, and Kelly and Candela's defense was basically foolproof.

Coupled with the wing defense of Roy Keane or Davis, Middlesbrough's wing attack was even more suppressed.

Shen Hao was calm and composed on the sidelines.

Among the coaches he has played against, McLaren is not outstanding.

The former assistant of Ferguson is expected to become the coach of the Three Lions today. I don’t know if there are other factors that are contributing to the situation.

You must know that the Three Lions have invited Ferguson more than once when selecting their coach.

Although Leeds United's frontcourt fast break was surrounded and suppressed, Jamie Redknapp continued to deliver artillery shells to the front line. There was a lack of creativity, but the support intensity was sufficient.

Ribery and Rivaldo repeatedly created threats of cutting inside, and Vieri became better and better in his role as a fulcrum or grabbing points.

Middlesbrough are very ambitious and want to compete head-on with Leeds United.

They will look to move forward on a high note as they head towards a glorious FA Cup final.

But the strength gap between the two teams is still very obvious.

Leeds United gradually gained the upper hand in the head-on confrontation, and there was always room for ideal offensive cooperation in the frontcourt.

When the veteran defender Southgate gradually became difficult to control from the beginning to the end, Leeds United's wing cuts became sharper.

In the 28th minute of the game, Ribery moved in and cut inside. Vieri acted as a fulcrum and passed the ball to Rivaldo. The latter dribbled across and then sent a through ball.

Ribery succeeded in countering offside, received Rivaldo's pass on the left side of the penalty area, and shot low without stopping the ball.

The football quickly rolled against the turf towards the far corner of the goal.

Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer quickly landed to save, but was still too late.

When the football rolled into the far corner of the goal, Leeds United fans at Villa Park raised their arms and cheered.

"Ribery's fatal blow without any hesitation! It's crisp and clear, and it kills with one hit!"

"Middlesbrough had a tough attitude today, which we actually like, because if the opponent is not conservative, it will give us enough room to cooperate and perform."

"Of course, McLaren may have to join the Three Lions after the World Cup. Of course he has to show a high profile in the game, but that's all his coaching ability is."

Leeds United fans were ecstatic.

Although I am worried about the team's multi-line battle for the championship.

But as long as the reality does not show them the avalanche scene of the building about to collapse, they will definitely be drunk now and heartbroken when it collapses tomorrow.

McLaren has a strong aura.

He didn't panic at all when facing the loss of the ball, and calmly directed the team to strengthen the offensive.

It seems that confidence is a little too much.

Ten minutes later, when Leeds United switched from the left to the right, there was basically no change in posture.

It just turned into Ribery receiving Vieri's pass, making a strong pass in the inside and speeding up the left rib of the penalty area before sending a cross. Rivaldo outflanked the right rib of the penalty area and shot with his left foot and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!

Middlesbrough fans were stunned.

"Wow, Rivaldo scores! Leeds leads Middlesbrough 2:0!"

"The FA Cup final seems really not that far away."

"Middlesbrough must not be afraid."

After Shen Hao celebrated his goal, he glanced at McLaren with interest.

The other party still held his head high, but his expression was solemn.

Shen Hao smiled secretly in his heart.

The coach of the Three Lions has not yet been appointed.

The force of style has reached a new level first.

A position like the head coach of the Three Lions must have high requirements on image and temperament.

Shen Hao certainly doesn't care whether McLaren adapts in advance.

You can pretend as much as you want and wait and see when you panic.

McLaren's mind actually went blank.

Middlesbrough is still attacking hard on the field.

Still flying together.

After Rosenbach and Downing were blocked by strong interceptions, their efforts were obviously ineffective.

Before the end of the half, Leeds United's frontcourt fast break once again threatened to cut inside.

This time, Middlesbrough's defense was obviously more wary of Rivaldo and Ribery, leaving the center wide open.

Rivaldo took the initiative to pass the ball back, and Jamie Redknapp followed up and sent a direct pass.

Vieri led the ball in the middle of the penalty area and turned around. Southgate, who hurriedly moved back to press, was blocked by his physical confrontation. Then Vieri kicked off and shot near the penalty spot.

Hit the bullseye and jump into the net.

"3:0! Vieri's domineering shot penetrated Schwarzer's fingers!"

"Haha, after winning the League Cup, we will reach the FA Cup final!"

"Now think about how many media were worried about Leeds United's physical problems before the season. Those media who said Leeds United could not survive Christmas had their faces really swollen!"

The Fleet Street pundits and reporters in the media box couldn't help but frown.

The classic car of Leeds United definitely breaks through their perceptions time and time again.

Extraordinary strength and endurance.

It's too ridiculous.

And compared to this.

Even more outrageous was Middlesbrough's performance.

"What's wrong with McLaren today? Do you really think that they and Leeds United have entered the semi-finals of the Europa League and the semi-finals of the FA Cup at the same time, so the two teams are on the same level?"

"If he becomes the coach of the Three Lions, Fake will definitely have the weakest qualifications in history. It might be a disaster!"

"The key is who will listen to him in the Three Lions? Lampard? Gerrard? Ferdinand? Ashley Cole? What does he rely on to convince the public? FA Cup semi-finals? Europa League semi-finals? Haha .”

"I think it's better to continue hiring foreign teachers."

Shen Hao really wanted to say thank you to McLaren.

Middlesbrough's ambition to confront Leeds United head-on is very good and will allow Leeds United to get off work earlier.

At the end of the half-time game, Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench and relaxed temporarily.

McLaren pretended to be calm, but inside he was already panicking.

Leeds United 3:0 Middlesbrough.

This score made Shen Hao more comfortable in the second half.

Substitutions started in less than 60 minutes.

Ribery and Rivaldo took a break.

Mendieta and Michael Gray appear.

Leeds United switched to a defensive counterattack stance.

Vieri was then substituted.

Leeds United's offensive threat is greatly reduced.

But Middlesbrough couldn't produce a decent shot for half a day.

Blindly attacking is enough to reveal that they are at the end of their rope.

The game was bland.

Leeds United fans entertain themselves.

They sang praises for Shen Hao in unison.

Villa Park seems to have become the home ground of Leeds United.

McLaren has always maintained his composure, but his composure looked weak at first glance.

Because the fans needed him to do something to rewrite the three-goal deficit.

But he was just calm, as if he was about to pass away...

The game came to an end peacefully.

Shen Hao stood up and walked towards McLaren with a smile.

McLaren was upset when he saw Shen Hao's smile.

But in order to maintain his grace, he still reached out to shake hands with Shen Hao after the game.

And he also congratulated the other party.

"I also wish you success in becoming England coach."

Rumors are rumors.

When Shen Hao said this so blatantly, McLaren looked happy.

But after reacting, it was unclear whether Shen Hao's words were full of ridicule.

Leeds United advance to the FA Cup final!

Regardless of the fate of the Europa League in the end.

At least in England, they have won the League Cup and the Premier League title race is at the last minute.

Reached the FA Cup final.

In the local arena, Leeds United played a dominant performance as a newly promoted team!

"The most promoted team in history - Leeds United!"

"After winning the League Cup, Leeds United has reached the FA Cup final and is expected to win the local treble!"

"The Leeds Tyrant is creating an unprecedented myth!"

The next day, Leeds United's opponents in the FA Cup final were announced.

Liverpool!

...

Leeds United will face Steaua Bucharest at home in midweek.

After reaching the FA Cup final, Shen Hao won another prize.

The system gave him an injury clearance scroll.

It seems useless so far.

Shen Hao could only stay for the time being.

Elland Road Stadium.

Seats are full.

After all, it is also the semi-finals of the European competition.

The fans are naturally enthusiastic.

And after Leeds United's starting lineup debuted, all Leeds United fans were particularly excited.

"Shen is serious about it!"

"Except for Rivaldo who is resting, the main players in other positions are all present. Today we are going to beat Steaua Bucharest!"

"Win this game and we'll reach the Europa League final!"

As Shen Hao stood aside, the coaches, players, and fans of Steaua Bucharest all felt the unusual atmosphere.

Especially in their eyes, Leeds United seems to be a different team.

Except for Mendieta, who had played against each other in the first round, Vieri and Ribery's starting lineup put them under tremendous pressure.

After the game started, Leeds United immediately kicked off the pace.

Compared with other European leagues, the fast-paced style of play in the Premier League means that the opponent is at a loss with the impact of rhythm.

Candela frequently supports Ribery and can also make crosses from the bottom.

Jamie Redknapp and Davis took turns to move forward to the area in front of the penalty area to create the threat of long shots or support.

Although Mendieta lacks support from the rear wing.

But the left wing is active enough, giving him better room to play on the right wing.

You can also create opportunities and create threats in your own singles.

In the 8th minute of the game, Jamie Redknapp's long-range shot was just blocked.

Roy Keane controlled the ball in front of the center circle and then transferred the attack to the left.

Candela advanced the ball while running along the wing, hit the wall with Ribery and then made a cross.

No possession of the ball is redundant, and no second is wasted.

Vieri ran in the penalty area to gain the upper hand, flicked his head and sent the ball into the near corner of the goal!

"Vieri scored with a header! Leeds United equalized the total score! It's just the beginning and we equalized the total score!"

“Keep up the good work and don’t give Steaua Bucharest any chance!”

Leeds United did exactly that.

Steaua Bucharest frequently made clearances in the backcourt and even resorted to fouling as a last resort to contain Leeds United's offensive threat.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Mendieta took a direct free kick from the right side of the frontcourt and dropped it into the penalty area.

Young centre-back Kompany's header from the penalty area sent countless Leeds United fans into a frenzy.

"Wow! Kompany! Unbelievable, he actually scored!"

"Haha, the Belgian central defender was unwilling to join Leeds United a year ago, but now he may not even want to leave."

"We have overtaken the score, but we still have to keep hammering! Try to expand our lead."

Surrounded by his teammates and enjoying the cheers of the fans, Kompany began to find his place at Leeds United.

Steaua Bucharest did panic.

Leeds United's fast-paced impact made them very uncomfortable.

In fact, they were very cautious in the first round. If Leeds United used British fast-paced attack to deal with them at that time, it might allow them to adapt in advance and be mentally prepared, and accumulate some experience.

But Leeds United were more conservative in the first round.

This resulted in a very strong gap between them and the nearly complete Leeds United in the second round.

Or the inability to adapt and bear the pressure.

The Leeds United team's morale is high and their arrogance is high.

Indiscriminate bombardment, like a wave, repeatedly hit the Bucharest Steaua defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, Mendieta's long shot from outside the penalty area caused the goalkeeper to save.

The blocked football was sent into the goal by Vieri stretching his legs first!

Vieri opened his arms and roared.

Like a wild beast emerging from its cage.

"Vieri scored twice with a supplementary shot!"

"Fleet Street recently selected the best transfers of this winter. Vieri was on the list, and there is no controversy. The second place is Roy Keane."

"Haha, it seems that these two transfers were not initiated by Brother Hao. They came to work on their own."

"Without the outstanding performance of Leeds United last season and the transfer results of Toldo, Rivaldo and others last summer, there might not have been the joining of Vieri and Roy Keane in the winter transfer window. .”

"Even I am very curious about what skills Brother Hao has that can bring the veteran back to the top."

"Technology? I think it's magic."

Leeds United 3:0 Steaua Bucharest.

The total score is 3:1 lead.

The game was completely under control for them.

Shen Hao gestured on the sidelines to keep the team steady.

Avoid overconsumption.

Steaua Bucharest was in complete disarray at half-time.

What they encountered in the first half was an inevitable avalanche.

After the game entered the second half, Leeds United made early substitutions.

The team's attitude has also changed.

Defensive counter attack.

Only then did Steaua Bucharest begin to gain a foothold, adapt to the rhythm, gradually improve their condition, and begin to exert force.

But in the 65th minute of the game, Leeds United quickly counterattacked.

After Mendieta cut inside, he suddenly redirected the ball back to the outside and then sent a cross.

The football flew through a slight arc to the middle of the penalty area. Batistuta, who came on as a substitute, stopped the ball with his left foot and volleyed with his right foot.

A powerful shot of the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!

Leeds United leads Steaua Bucharest 4:1 on aggregate.

The atmosphere at Elland Road exploded.

The stands looked like a boiling white ocean.

White clothes, four lines competing for the championship.

It's a foregone conclusion!
