Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

The dream journey of Leeds's three thousand shareholders in white from China to Leeds has come to the last stop.

The most important thing about this trip is to watch Leeds United's last three decisive games of the season live.

On the surface, Leeds United have paid more than 1000 million pounds for this grand event.

In fact, they paid much more than that.

For example, the cost of tickets for the three finals is not included.

Overall, it was a great value trip for [-] shareholders.

If their expenses are used to deduce the dividends due to other major shareholders, Leeds United needs to owe Shen Hao, Xiao Ruoan, Zhao Xin, and Tan Youyou, a total of more than 8000 million pounds!

Because the shareholding ratio of these [-] shareholders is too low.

Shen Hao had already thought of this.

In the financial report, all his dividends will be used to pay for this expenditure.

In other words, Shen Hao personally paid 80% of all expenses for these three thousand shareholders' trip to Leeds, London, Eindhoven, and Cardiff out of his own pocket.

Some shareholders have long asked how the club copes with such huge expenses.

It’s not that they are worried that they will need to pay for it themselves, most shareholders are still willing to do so.

I’ve already traveled abroad, and no matter how fussy it is to save money, I’m sure I won’t sign up in the first place.

Tang Jinyu announced in the headquarters group that Shen Hao would use personal dividends to pay for the event.

Zhao Xin followed suit and announced that he would use his personal dividends to support this pilgrimage that was like a pilgrimage for everyone.

The crowd in the white-clothed headquarters suddenly became very emotional, and everyone expressed their admiration for Shen Hao and Zhao Xin.

Shen Hao really didn't care.

Seeing the shareholders so happy gave him a different sense of accomplishment.

Football is a team sport.

One player is not enough.

It won’t work without the fans.

In this atmosphere, he also hopes that the shareholders who invested in Green Fury back then can gain happiness and wonderful memories worth recalling in life.

Money is omnipotent, but money is also cold.

Shen Hao's main purpose of joining football was not for money.

So he can be free and easy.

Besides, his living conditions are already very favorable.

I'm not super rich, but I haven't worried about money in my personal life for a long time.

Cardiff, Millennium Stadium.

As the red sun sets, the FA Cup final is about to begin.

When Shen Hao walked into the Millennium Stadium, the three thousand shareholders in white shouted in unison: "Brother Hao! Brother Hao! Powerful!"

The sound is magnificent and majestic.

Local Leeds fans also recently learned how the Chinese call Shen Hao.

They always shouted "Shen".

Now some people are learning to shout "Brother Hao".

Shen Hao, wearing a suit and ties, walked to the coaching bench and sat down. His state seemed a little too calm today.

It was faintly noticeable that there was a sense of solemnity in his heart.

The whole world knows that Leeds United's physical condition has already exceeded the critical point.

In the Europa League final three days ago, if Sevilla was given another 10 minutes, or 5 minutes, the team that would eventually win the cup might not be Leeds United.

Not to mention that so far in the season, there have been 38 league rounds, 7 EFL Cup games, 15 Europa League games, and 5 FA Cup games have been played.

Leeds United have played 65 official games this season!

Just three decisive battles in eight days.

None of them are at home, and they travel across the country to fight. It's natural that Leeds United's physical fitness is overstretched.

The tenacity and tenacity this team presents to the outside world is also deeply rooted in people's hearts and is shocking.

After Benitez entered the field, he stood in the coaching area on the sidelines. He still had that meticulous and serious temperament.

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

The FA Cup final slowly begins.

"Good afternoon, fans in white, the long season is about to enter its final battle. Can Leeds United's 66th official game of the season end perfectly? Will the Dark Horse Legend and Epic be recorded in history as the Quadruple Champions?

I am Xiaochuang, and my glasses and I are live broadcasting the 2005-2006 English FA Cup final for everyone at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, England! "

"Sixty-six games, it's not easy. We thought the most difficult stage was over, but we didn't expect that the last game might be the most difficult. Maybe having achieved the Triple Crown will bring positive stimulation to the team as a whole. , This will allow our players to explode into combat effectiveness beyond expectations, but this cannot be forced. They have done a good job, perfect and impeccable. I dare not expect more."

"Yes, just as children who work hard are more distressed, our beloved Los Blancos' efforts throughout the season are seen by us. Maybe it would be hypocritical to say how difficult it is for them at this time. After all, they all have an annual salary of millions. It is a normal phenomenon for the pound-for-pound rich to make a lot of money in top sports. Look at those wealthy clubs that have nothing in the top four, and then look at the achievements Leeds United has achieved, how can we not be moved by it?"

"Liverpool have experienced a failed season and they will definitely want to console themselves with the FA Cup at the last moment.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Leeds United started 433.

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Kelly, Redondo, Kompany, Candela.

Midfielder: Davis, Guardiola, Simeone.

Forwards: Rivaldo, Claudio Lopez, Ribery.

The good news is that Rivaldo has a rest in the Europa League final in mid-week, as does Redondo. Maybe they can play a key role today.

Liverpool starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise.

Midfielder: Kewell, Alonso, Gerrard, Sissoko, Cisse.

Forward: Crouch.

The pre-match kick-off ceremony has ended and the game will begin immediately.

We have talked a lot about the hidden worries about Bai Yi's physical fitness and condition before.

But after all, we are facing a final that is about whether we can win the championship trophy.

So I think you still have to have faith.

I believe in Los Blancos unwaveringly.

The moon does not change the light, the broken sword does not change the steel! "

"Yes, when the season comes to an end for this legendary chapter where the old boys are struggling and aiming for thousands of miles, we should believe in the courage and will of the old boys to run towards glory."

Liverpool fans are actually frustrated inside.

Liverpool only finished fourth in the league, which looks better than last season's fifth place finish.

But as the defending champions of the Champions League, they did not get far in the Champions League knockout rounds this season.

Even if we do win the FA Cup, it seems that the happiness will be short-lived.

Especially thinking about if Leeds United continues to become stronger in team building.

Then the structure of the Premier League will be completely overturned.

What role will Liverpool play in the new landscape?

Fighting for the championship?

It used to be inferior to Manchester United, but now in the long-distance competition in the league, there is Chelsea in the front and Leeds United in the back.

All the heroes came together, but only Liverpool seemed to be standing still.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially kicked off.

Leeds United directly entered a defensive counterattack posture.

Liverpool seems to have a balanced offense and defense, but they are constantly strengthening their offense.

Benitez knows very well that if Liverpool does not play more proactively, then Liverpool will not be able to take advantage of their physical strength.

Fans from both teams cheered and cheered at the top of their lungs.

The sound hit my ears like bursts of thunder.

Shen Hao stared at the arena with deep eyes.

In my mind, I was looking back at every detail of this season with some distraction.

Liverpool finally finished fourth in the Premier League, but their performance was not bad.

Because their points are 80 points.

Throughout the history of the Premier League, 80 points is very close, and there are even some seasons where we can still win the championship.

Even Liverpool's 80 points can only rank fourth in the league. It is not surprising that Arsenal, which has reached the Champions League final, can only rank fifth in the league.

Leeds United has one win and one draw against Liverpool in the league, and they have the advantage.

But that doesn't mean they have an advantage in today's showdown.

At least it is extremely difficult to gain the upper hand on the scene.

So Shen Hao chose the simplest tactic in comparison.

Defensive counter attack.

In the first 10 minutes, Liverpool's repeated attacks failed to create a threat, and Leeds United's counterattack was getting better.

Crouch lacks space to play under the marking of Kompany and Redondo, and Gerrard's late penetration will also encounter interception and sniping by Simeone and Davis.

Kewell delivers artillery shells from the wing more frequently and lacks the performance to break through and tear apart the defense.

The player Kewell is suffering from a rare disease, which predicts that he will not live for ten years, which is regarded as one of the human tragedies on the green field.

Therefore, the green world is a microcosm of the real world.

Joys and sorrows, love and hatred, everything is there.

It's no surprise that Kewell started to go downhill, but Cisse is obviously more useful in grabbing points. He is threatening when dribbling from the wing and cutting inside, but he still lacks the strength to pass the level.

Liverpool's shackles are still the lack of sufficient impact and finishing ability on the front line.

Unable to attack for a long time, they are still blindly increasing their speed and intensity.

As the game approached 25 minutes, Crouch was forced to steal the ball by Simeone when he was receiving near the top of the penalty area. Redondo stepped forward and passed the ball to Guardiola. The latter controlled the ball and turned around, spiking the ball in a different direction to dodge Gerrard's counter attack.

The next step is to pass the ball diagonally to the left side of midfield.

Ribery rushed forward wildly, stopping and speeding up to allow Alonso to help defend the air. After reaching the frontcourt and turning inside, when Sissoko rushed to press, Ribery accurately passed the ball to the front right of the penalty area. side area.

Rivaldo cut inside and dribbled forward to impact. When he encountered Hyypia, he smashed the ball with his left foot and changed direction to complete the breakthrough!

Liverpool fans were shocked.

An idea came to mind.

Hyypia is also old!

After Rivaldo broke through, he continued to dribble towards the right side of the penalty area, and then he passed the ball.

Claudio Lopez made a move to grab the point.

Carragher gritted his teeth and put out his tackle during the block, trying to destroy the ball first.

But the ball was too fast and it was difficult for him to control his footwork after releasing the tackle.

The football was touched by him first, but it refracted and flew towards the lower right corner of the Liverpool goal.

Reina made a belated save and was unable to save the situation!

The Millennium Stadium was filled with cheers.

Leeds United fans cheered.

"Carragher scored an own goal! Rivaldo's cross turned into a goal! Leeds United's defensive counterattack led to the first victory!"

"It's really unexpected that Liverpool's defense can be so fragile."

"Benitez's plan failed. Liverpool's strong attack had not yet had any effect, but the city gate was declared lost. Leeds United led Liverpool 1:0. Yes, keep it!"

Rivaldo ran off to celebrate with a big smile on his face.

As the Premier League mvp this season, he also gained a sense of honorary satisfaction and achievement.

When Shen Hao was sitting on the coaching bench and saw the goal, he just smiled slightly, and then quickly became calm again.

He glanced thoughtfully at Benitez, who seemed unresponsive on the sidelines.

He was self-aware of Leeds United's problems, so even though Leeds United was the Triple Crown winner, they didn't bother to compete head-on with Liverpool.

This is a very basic idea in coaching to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.

And Liverpool's problem.

Does Benitez himself know this?

Liverpool's strong attack was not ideal in terms of effect.

But Benitez did it anyway.

Perhaps Bannister saw Leeds United's physical weaknesses.

If they hope to increase the pace of the game and maintain a fast-paced impact, Leeds United's physical energy will be exhausted earlier.

If you want to consume Leeds United, you must do your best to attack in order to put pressure on the entire Leeds United team.

Otherwise it won't make any sense.

However, Liverpool's offense is weak and there are problems on the defensive line. Did Benitez expect it or was it unexpected?

Shen Hao didn't know.

The reason why he dare not be overly optimistic is that the real contest of the game, or the important time period that determines the result of the game, will be after 60 minutes.

By then, Leeds United's physical condition will definitely be very bad.

Now, it's good to score and take the lead, but it's not enough to determine the outcome.

The players cheered each other on after Liverpool conceded the goal.

The offensive intensity continued to increase after kick-off.

Finnan and Riise took turns going upfield to support the forwards.

Cisse went directly to the penalty area and became a double forward partner with Crouch.

Leeds United's defense is under pressure.

Cisse received Riise's cross from close range and shot from the spot, but Toldo attacked from the front and blocked it with his body!

"Wow! Toldo! Another wonderful rescue, worthy of the reputation of Saint Toldo in white!"

"Toldo's performance in the last two games is absolutely world-class. This may also be due to the fact that Leeds United's overall performance is limited by fluctuations in physical fitness and state, giving opponents more opportunities to create threats. He can step forward at this time. Go out and defend Leeds United’s goal, it’s your honor!”

The scene started to get scary for Leeds United fans.

As the game approached 35 minutes, Gerrard fired a long shot of more than 25 yards from outside the penalty area!

Everyone saw the football flying straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

This is the rhythm to create a world wave!

At the critical moment, that man appeared!

"Toldo! Wow! Santoldo blocked Gerald's world wave!"

"If a man has no strength, he will not be secure! Saint Tordo tells the world with his hands what it means to be a god at the door!"

Liverpool fans beat their chests in disbelief, burned with unwilling rage.

Shen Hao was secretly caught off guard, and the cold sweat on his palms was wiped away.

He then stood up and walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands, and signaled the team to stay focused and execute the tactics unswervingly.

Liverpool's offensive became more and more fierce.

But a bit simple and crude.

As the game approached 40 minutes, Kewell made a pass from the right but Kompany blocked the ball to the wing.

Candela responded and sent an overhead pass.

Ribery stopped the ball with his back and chest in front, and Finnan and Gerrard were preparing to attack him.

Liverpool's formation was obviously over-pressured.

Ribery passed the ball to the center.

Guardiola, who followed up, touched the ball and passed it diagonally to the ground.

Rivaldo stopped the ball on the right wing just after halftime and adjusted on the spot.

Sissoko was heading towards him, and Alonso retreated.

The Liverpool defense is turning back.

Rivaldo completed the adjustment in two movements, and then passed the ball on the spot with the outside of his left foot.

The football flew forward, drawing a half-height internal arc with strong rotation!

It flew from a short distance outside Hyypia and then flew inwards to the center in front of the Liverpool penalty area!

This pass is not only beautiful, but also accurate!

Claudio Lopez countered offside and made a single shot!

Reina struck decisively.

But Lopez still touched the ball first and directly changed the direction of the ball and hit the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Reina turned hastily to pursue, but Claudio Lopez turned flexibly and got rid of him very quickly!

Single sword, empty door!

Claudio Lopez caught up with the football and half-turned to shoot.

The football rolls towards the unblocked goal.

There is no suspense.

Leeds United wins again!
