Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The much-anticipated final battle of the Premier League officially begins with the referee's whistle!

The enthusiastic cheers from the fans of both teams shocked everyone.

Arsenal fans are filled with joy and sorrow.

Sadly, they are destined to miss out on the top four in the Premier League this season. Fortunately, they have reached the Champions League final and are expected to win the Champions League for the first time in team history and achieve unparalleled glory.

Farewell to Highbury is a ceremony, a node that will go down in history.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, and they are about to enter a new era.

I hope the team can give Highbury a decent farewell.

Before the end of the game, this is still the home they need to protect the most.

Leeds United fans share the same mentality as the team.

With one go, you are invincible.

Arsenal once wrote the myth of winning the championship undefeated in the season.

Leeds United now have the chance to accomplish the feat as well.

The difference is that if it ends in a draw, Leeds United may become a tragic team with an unbeaten season, because once Chelsea defeats Newcastle United away from home.

Even though Leeds United were unbeaten in 38 games, they were unable to win the championship.

Undefeated runner-up for the season?

Then I'm afraid no fans will mention this record with pride in the future.

They have only one way out, victory!

Defeat Arsenal and complete the epic creation of an unbeaten season with higher points.

Both teams were cautious after the game started.

It can be said that Leeds United is facing a final where not winning means losing.

Caution is a given.

Arsenal's conservatism stems from preparations for the Champions League final.

What they will face is the best team in European football-Barcelona!

With Arsenal's strength, it is certainly impossible to overpower Barcelona and bombard them indiscriminately.

That would be tantamount to asking for death.

Therefore, Wenger wants to practice the skills and tactics of the final, and his style and posture are naturally more utilitarian.

People praise Arsenal for being unique in the Premier League. In fact, in the years when Wenger first came to Arsenal, Arsenal had always adopted a defensive and counterattack tactical style, but Wenger changed the technical and tactical implementation methods.

The British style of punching and hanging was abandoned, and the focus was on ground passing and cutting coordination, but the core of the technical and tactical skills was defensive counterattack.

It wasn't until Arsenal became the protagonist of the battle with Manchester United that the influence of a strong team once again became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they had to become active in their posture.

Because most teams can't be stupid enough to take the initiative when facing strong teams.

It is natural for weak teams to counterattack.

Strong teams fight back and sit back and hope to win.

In the 4th minute of the game, Arsenal counterattacked quickly from the right side of the frontcourt. Reyes had just received a precise pass from Cesc Fabregas. The next second, Roy Keane rushed in front of him and destroyed the ball with a flying tackle. Bottom line.

The two had a minor collision.

It's not a big problem and Reyes is fine.

The ball was still in Arsenal's favor, but Reyes was heartbroken.

Roy Keane's tackle was like the autumn wind blowing fallen leaves, fast and hard!

In addition to being clean and tidy, Roy Keane looked at him specifically like a wild animal staring at its prey after he stood up.

Reyes swallowed hard.

My mood is complicated and my thinking is a bit chaotic.

Four minutes later, Hleb received Henry's pass in the middle of the frontcourt. Just as he stopped the ball and changed direction to get rid of Jamie Redknapp, Davis came out from the side, stretched out his thigh in front of him, and his shoulders collided. He fell to the ground in a panic.

Davis stole the ball, but the referee's whistle sounded.

He was awarded a foul.

It seems to be a very common collision at the Premier League level.

Not to the point of taking out cards.

But Hleb stood up with a solemn look on his face.

When Pires received a pass from Ashley Cole on the left, Kelly pressed directly close to him, making small pulling movements with his hands. His body repeatedly collided and squeezed. Pires controlled the ball and tried to get rid of the entanglement. As a result, Davis flanked him again.

Davis and Kelly teamed up to steal the ball.

Pires even had his hair messed up and complained to the referee with his hands spread out.

Why not blow the whistle?

The referee ignored it at all.

This is the Premier League.

Physical contact is perfectly normal.

Leeds United's fast break was simple and rough.

Franck Ribery and Jamie Redknapp each failed to test Lehmann with a long-range shot.

But the game scene brought psychological tension to the fans.

A hint of anger appeared on Wenger's expression.

What are Leeds United doing?

After the opening, the confrontation was almost full of aggression.

Do you really think Arsenal are scared?

Shen Hao was calm and composed on the sidelines.

Leeds United want to win the Premier League title.

Arsenal are preparing for the Champions League final.

The former fights for the present, while the latter fights for the future.

This is the most decisive factor of mentality.

It is impossible for Arsenal, and they dare not, to fight Leeds United unreservedly!

There is both fear of injury and player overdraft.

Their personnel staff is not outstanding in terms of depth.

Against this backdrop, does Arsenal want to defend the glory of Highbury?

That is no longer enough to affect the basic mentality.

Shen Hao formulated technical and tactical skills for Leeds United, not to compete with all Arsenal players.

You only need to focus on attacking a few players with good skills.

Just like Leeds United, there is no need to go hard with Sol Campbell and Gilberto Silva.

It doesn't make much sense.

And deterring or even intimidating players such as Reyes, Pires, Hleb, Fabregas and others can greatly suppress Arsenal's offensive threat!

Once a chain reaction forms, Leeds United will have an overall advantage!

When Reyes received the ball again in the frontcourt, Roy Keane just got close, and the opponent quickly moved the ball and went outside to try to get rid of it.

But Candela stepped forward and stole the ball.

Roy Keane was still staring at Reyes, who pretended to turn a blind eye, but was drumming in his heart and felt uneasy.

What if a fierce press is not enough to scare the opponent?

Very simple.

Again.

More times!

In the counter-attack, Vieri bumped and tripped Fabregas from behind and brought Fabregas to the ground.

The referee still called the foul but did not give a card.

Fabregas was very annoyed and stood up to argue with Vieri, not afraid of the difference in strength between the two men.

However, Vieri looked calm and did not pay attention to Fabregas' anger at all.

Nearly 20 minutes of the game passed.

Leeds United gradually took advantage on the field.

Because Arsenal can hardly see the ball getting rid of and dribbling when attacking in the frontcourt.

Players took the initiative to reduce the time they spent possession of the ball.

Strive to complete the pass in the shortest time and form teamwork.

There doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

But this made Leeds United's tackling efficiency soar!

Henry took the initiative to expand his running range and retreated deeply to respond. Even so, Leeds United quickly formed a crazy siege, which often made Arsenal's offensive end in vain.

As long as Henry passes the ball, it is basically impossible to touch the ball again in this offense.

Reyes, Pires, Hleb, the three players behind Henry in the formation have all turned themselves into supporting roles.

Supporting means that you don’t have to stick to the ball, and you don’t have to push forward to shoot.

If the scope of responsibility is reduced, it will naturally be difficult for the comprehensive chemical reaction to produce positive results.

They are all afraid of injuries.

Especially before the Champions League final!

If Arsenal don't have worries about the Champions League final.

Can they enter into a mutually damaging contest with the mentality of dying with Leeds United?

Shen Hao also thinks that Arsenal is not good!

Some characteristics are in the bones.

For example, Reyes has been considered by Fleet Street to be weak in confrontation in the Premier League, and may have a psychological shadow.

After players such as Keown, Adams, and Vieira retired or left Arsenal, the Gunners became increasingly weak in confrontation and moved firmly in the direction of gorgeousness and refinement.

Regardless of right or wrong, it can only be said that in front of Leeds United, Leeds United's toughness also caught them.

Wenger can certainly see the situation changing.

But he could only put pressure on the fourth official, hoping that the referee's penalty would be harsher.

Shen Hao turned to look at Wenger, his eyes cold.

After Wenger complained repeatedly, he also noticed Shen Hao's eyes, and he couldn't help shouting to Shen Hao.

"Do you want to win the championship with this method?"

Shen Hao raised his lips slightly and responded decisively.

"Get ready for the Champions League final."

Wenger was immediately speechless.

Yes.

He did not signal to the team to strengthen confrontation and increase aggression.

The concern to a certain extent is the Champions League final!

If Arsenal dares to attack Leeds United head-on.

Then Leeds United may change the game from a fierce confrontation to a fierce and tragic one!

Can Leeds United do it?

What can't they do?

Ask Bolton, but also West Ham United, and Reading, they all have a say.

The Leeds Tyrant is no soft-hearted guy.

In the eyes of some rival fans, he is a villain and a bastard!

As the game approached 30 minutes, Leeds United suddenly accelerated as a whole!

The situation has almost been shaped, and it’s time to focus on efforts.

I have been shooting from long range before, but the effect is average.

Lehmann made a wonderful save to keep the goal intact.

After Leeds United's overall efforts, the activity of the midfielder further improved.

Ribery once again hit a long shot but Kolo Toure blocked it with his body.

Gilberto Silva looked for Cesc Fabregas after controlling the placement of the ball.

Vieri and Jamie Redknapp fought back and forth. As soon as Cesc Fabregas redirected the ball to get away, Jamie Redknapp poked the ball away.

Roy Keane stepped forward and passed the ball diagonally to Ribery. The latter dribbled forward to form a containment and then passed the ball to the deep area of ​​​​the wing.

Candela ran down the stairs at lightning speed, but it was too late for Eboue to turn around and pursue him.

Candela's cross flew into the penalty area and was cleared by Sol Campbell's header.

The football that flew out was once again controlled by Leeds United players in the middle of Arsenal's backcourt!

Davis!

After taking possession of the ball, Davis sent a diagonal pass to the ground, and the football rolled to the right area in front of the penalty area.

Rivaldo took the initiative, and Cesc Fabregas, Ashley Cole, and Gilberto Silva started pressing together.

Rivaldo did not advance but retreated. He took one step back after taking possession of the ball and passed the ball back. After releasing the ball, he turned back and inserted into the penalty area.

Everyone's attention turned and they saw Jamie Redknapp kicking the ball and sending a direct pass.

Vieri received the ball with his back in the middle of the penalty area, then turned around and sent a diagonal kick.

The football rolled behind Sol Campbell, and Rivaldo got in position!

When Campbell turned around, Rivaldo touched the ball and cut across to seize the line. Campbell had difficulty speeding up and couldn't reach him with his legs.

However, Rivaldo continued to cut across and came to the middle with better starting space and space.

The football blasted out with his left foot flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a white rainbow!

German goalkeeper Lehmann made a flying save but was unable to save the ball.

The distance is short, the ball is fast, and the angle is tricky.

The door god also has to raise his hands and surrender!

boom!

The atmosphere in Highbury suddenly exploded.

Leeds United fans cheered wildly.

"It's finally here! Rivaldo scored with a blast! A wonderful continuous offensive, long shots, crosses, penetration and cooperation, Bai Yi's series of combination punches finally penetrated Arsenal's defense!"

"He just came out after he had been waiting for a long time. At the critical moment, Rivaldo showed the level of MVP in white this season. He lived up to expectations and made our blood boil with his explosive goal!"

"Now the score has been rewritten. If we can guarantee not to concede a goal, then we will be on the map!"

Rivaldo rushed to the sidelines with a serious look on his face, raised his right fist and looked at the crazy Leeds fans in the stands.

Wenger looked unwilling, but he could only be secretly angry.

He just doesn't dare to let Arsenal risk everything to fight Leeds United!

Shen Hao lowered his head and gritted his teeth, then raised his head. There was no smile on his face, and his expression seemed even colder.

Leeds United 1:0 Arsenal.

When the news reached St. James' Park, Chelsea fans were disappointed.

Then he started swearing at Arsenal again.

"Arsenal, useless thing!"

"Highbury is retiring today. Arsenal doesn't even want the dignity of their home court!"

"Having any illusions about Arsenal is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life!"

Highbury.

Arsenal fans are certainly disappointed too.

But he can only comfort himself.

They are going to play in the Champions League final.

It seems that this reason can be greater than anything else!

Henry stood in the center circle ready to kick off, and the King of Highbury, with his hands on his hips, felt heavy at this time.

He certainly wants to defend the ground that truly made him a top star.

But the team's overall performance has begun to weaken.

After Arsenal kicked off, Henry tried to turn the situation around on his own.

Frequently dribbling from the side to try to open up gaps in Leeds United's defense.

Even though the wing can only restrict and block him, he cannot steal the ball.

But this is enough to make it difficult for Arsenal to be an offensive threat.

Because after Henry passed the ball from the wing, Arsenal's subsequent offensive could neither form a shot nor pass the ball to Henry.

There were even situations where he was forced to pass the ball back to the midfield.

The overall mobility of the Leeds United team is stronger.

The frontcourt offense is also more vigorous.

Ribery cut in from the wing and encountered a three-man attack. Gilberto Silva pressed, and Eboue and Kolo Toure blocked the line.

Ribery tried to pass the ball through the gap, but Cesc Fabregas cleared the ball.

But the ball that had just been released was headed back to the frontcourt by De Boer. Davis took possession of the ball and found Roy Keane, who quickly passed the ball and found Ribery.

Arsenal's defense once again squeezed and blocked his side.

This time Ribery pulled the ball and turned around to deliver the pass.

The football rolled towards the baseline on the left wing.

Candela sprinted and touched the ball, which was a cross.

The football flew towards the center of the penalty area, and Sol Campbell and Vieri were entangled with each other.

Vieri rushed forward to grab the point, and Sol Campbell had no choice but to make a move and tended to hug the opponent.

As a result, Vieri fell down in the penalty area.

When he fell to the ground, he raised his arms and shouted.

Indicates that the referee should blow the whistle to award a penalty kick.

But the next second.

The ball was missed in the middle, and the football flew to the back of the penalty area, but Rivaldo, who cut inside, swung his leg and volleyed the ball towards the near corner of the goal.

The ball speed is not fast, the main thing is to master the footwork.

The football flew into the goal against the inside of the right goal post!

Within 10 minutes, Rivaldo scored twice!
