Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

8 month 13 day.

Cardiff, Millennium Stadium.

On a sunny afternoon, when the starting players of Leeds United and Chelsea entered the field, cheers shook the world.

The long offseason has made fans who can't live without football suffer.

Finally, the new season is about to begin.

The Community Shield is the signal for the start of the new season.

Shen Hao, dressed in a shirt, vest and trousers, entered the venue in high spirits.

Even when Chelsea fans saw Shen Hao make an appearance, they had to admit that the Chinese coach was extraordinary, handsome and suave.

The temperament exuding a sharp edge is clean and neat.

Mourinho is also a unique head coach.

This allows the two coaches to compete in the same field, each with his own strengths and complementing each other!

The starting players of both teams performed the pre-match kick-off ceremony.

Mourinho looked dazed on the sidelines looking at a familiar figure he had not seen in Leeds United's starting lineup for a long time.

Ronaldo!

Ten years ago, he followed Bobby Robson to Barcelona. Although he was just a translator, he formed an indissoluble bond with Barcelona.

His heart is set on success in Spain and especially recognition in Barcelona.

Even today, Chelsea and Barcelona have a lot of grievances in the European arena due to their life-and-death battles in the past two seasons.

But Mourinho is still paying attention to Barcelona. He believes that he will eventually get the opportunity to become Barcelona's coach step by step!

He became friends with Guardiola in Barcelona ten years ago. It was also in that season that Ronaldo killed everyone in Barcelona and achieved a terrifying efficiency in his career. So far, almost no forward in the past ten years can match his performance in that season. Performance.

Unfortunately, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid led by Capello in La Liga that year.

Mourinho's first impression when he saw Ronaldo today was: What's going on?

Ronaldo today doesn't look like a bloated fat man at all.

But a strong man!

Nearly four weeks since joining Leeds United.

Ronaldo's transformation is astonishing.

It's like a new look.

When he joined Leeds United, he weighed close to 100 kilograms, but when he weighed himself this morning, he weighed 86 kilograms!

He has lost almost 10 pounds compared to before he competed in the World Cup.

Not much.

But without affecting his physical condition, his weight loss has achieved initial results.

The goal of the Leeds United coaching staff is to keep Ronaldo's body between 75kg and 80kg.

Players of his size, especially forwards, cannot be too thin and need muscle.

Muscles can bring confrontation, self-protection, and explosive power!

Mourinho had mixed feelings.

He looked at Shen Hao, and the doubt in his eyes almost drove him crazy.

"What magic power does Leeds United have? Ronaldo, who was helpless at Real Madrid, was transformed in such a short period of time!"

Chelsea poached two veteran Chinese medicine doctors from Leeds United last season.

To this day, they dare not say that the two old Chinese medicine doctors are useless.

At least when a player sprains, the case of an old Chinese doctor using acupuncture to cure a player has dumbfounded all the Chelsea team doctors.

The strange curative effect that seems to go against modern medical science has made two old Chinese medicine doctors take seriously in the Chelsea team.

The daily physical therapy, massage and moxibustion have subtly gained praise among the players.

Even some female employees in the club had chronic diseases, and the old Chinese medicine doctors prescribed Chinese medicine to treat them. After a period of time, the conditions did improve.

But these miracles pale in comparison to the medical miracles that continue to happen at Leeds United.

Not one level at all.

Mourinho surveys Leeds United's starting XI.

If he had a strange palpitation when he met Leeds United at this time last year, then his evaluation of the Leeds United lineup now is: a bit scary!

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Kelly, Kompany, Stam, Candela.

Midfielder: Davies, Jamie Redknapp, Roy Keane.

Forwards: Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ribery.

Last year's Leeds United had a group of veterans who were questioned by the outside world.

But through their performance last season, they shattered doubts and achieved the most incredible miraculous result in the history of English football.

And this year's Leeds United.

The players who were questioned last year are already scary. Before the players show a definite decline in form and strength, Mourinho cannot make a whimsical conclusion that Leeds United's veteran is dead.

The outside world will also put on glasses full of scrutiny for new faces or young players in Leeds United.

For example, Stam has been affected by injuries in the past few years, and whether Kompany can take on big responsibilities at a young age.

There is also Ronaldo, who was traded by Real Madrid and was considered to have a malignant tumor removed from his body.

Can they do it?

Everyone will ask.

But the results can only be judged and observed through game performance.

Mourinho still has a similar mentality.

Like Stam and Ronaldo who started for Leeds United today.

Mourinho wouldn't have the slightest interest until they joined Leeds United.

As long as the top clubs in Europe are not here for emergencies, most coaches will not be interested in them.

But when they appeared in Leeds United's starting lineup and were about to compete against each other, they felt inexplicably deeply fearful!

A miracle happens by chance.

It's always amazing but also terrifying!

Leeds United's success over the past two years has continued to defeat doubters from the outside world.

How can Mourinho not be afraid?

I am so afraid that those rubbish from other people's homes will turn into treasures when they arrive at Leeds United!

Shen Hao is also reviewing Chelsea's lineup.

In this summer's transfer market, Chelsea is the protagonist of English football.

First, German midfield superstar Ballack joined on a free transfer, and then Abramovich spent a lot of money to lure Shevchenko from AC Milan!

The joining of two superstars will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of any team they go to.

If you include Ashley Cole, who is the ceiling of left backs in English football, he also joined Chelsea.

The Blues' three-line strength has been improved.

This is far more certain than Leeds United's position reinforcement but it has to be tested in actual combat.

But today's Chelsea starting lineup made Shen Hao look weird.

Goalkeeper: Hilario.

Defenders: Gremi, Carvalho, Terry, Paulo Ferreira.

Midfielder: Essien, Lampard, Ballack.

Forwards: Robben, Drogba, Shevchenko.

The formation is 433.

Ashley Cole is absent from the squad today, and Paulo Ferreira will serve as left back.

There is nothing wrong with the midfield, just one word: tough!

But there is obvious asymmetry on the front line.

Robben is a right winger, and there is a lack of suitable similar roles for the left winger position.

The two forwards of Drogba and Shevchenko are fine when viewed independently, but they look very awkward in Chelsea's lineup.

Far less smooth than Chelsea's 433 from both wings last season.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Chelsea took the lead.

Shen Hao and Mourinho watched the game carefully.

Chelsea took the lead in controlling the ball and patiently organized the attack.

Lampard and Ballack need to work together, but the team's progress seems to be blocked.

Since Robben is the only pure winger, Leeds United will of course focus on him.

Roy Keane consciously approached Robben's side, and together with Candela, the two were ready.

Chelsea did not force the right flank.

The space environment on the left is better.

Ferreira came up with an assist and successfully connected, then passed the ball diagonally to find Shevchenko who took the initiative to connect.

Kelly took the initiative to press closely from behind Shevchenko. Shevchenko pulled the ball and turned around, speeding up and changing directions to barely get rid of it. However, Davis successfully intercepted the ball the next second.

Leeds United quickly broke on the spot.

Davis made a short pass to the right, and Kelly stepped forward and kicked the ball.

Jamie Redknapp moved laterally and approached the right wing to receive the ball and then sent a medium and long pass.

Rivaldo was running on the right side of the frontcourt. He stopped the football that fell in front of him in the air, and continued to move forward without slowing down skillfully and smoothly.

Essien ran wildly to the wing to intercept, but Ferreira hadn't come back yet.

When the two were about to come into contact, Rivaldo spiked the ball across the ball and crossed the opponent. Seeing that Ballack was about to press in front of him, Rivaldo moved the ball towards the top of the arc in the penalty area like a dragonfly.

Ronaldo took the initiative to respond, and when he touched the ball, he moved the ball to the right and changed direction, dodging Carvalho's active pressing.

Carvalho was horrified.

Ronaldo touched the ball faster than he expected!

Terry bravely intercepted the ball head-on. Ronaldo feinted with his left leg in front of the football on the penalty area line for half a circle, then changed the direction of the ball with his right foot and continued to cut across the angle.

Terry's focus turned to follow up slowly, and Ronaldo's next move was to volley.

The whole movement is coherent and smooth!

The football flew towards the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball.

The ball speed is not extremely fast, but it is not slow either.

As Cech's substitute, Hilario was highly focused and ran two steps quickly before making a fierce save.

At the moment when the football was about to fly into the lower left corner of the goal, Hilario made an extreme save and blocked the ball with one palm of his right hand!

The rebounded football just bounced out of the small penalty area, and a figure flashed across the front edge of Chelsea's small penalty area like lightning.

Before Hilario could get up and make another save, Ribery was like a whirlwind passing by. He hit the ball with a follow-up shot and then turned to the sidelines to celebrate without looking back!

Chelsea fans were stunned.

Leeds United fans were ecstatic.

Terry raised his hand to signal that Ribery was offside, but the linesman had no reaction.

The Millennium Stadium was filled with cheers.

Ribery's face is full of cruelty, which cannot be ignored!

Shen Hao smiled and clapped.

The opening blitz scored.

Dream start.

Mourinho was distraught.

The goal was scored by Ribery.

But the threat came from Rivaldo and Ronaldo!

Is that Ronaldo?

Just after receiving the call, he stepped on his bicycle in front of Terry, swung out from an angle, and launched a volley with his feet.

99% of forwards don’t have it!

really!

The familiar sense of foreboding became reality.

Ronaldo has made some progress in losing weight. Not only has his physical condition improved, but his explosive power after controlling the ball is hard to fault.

Leeds United...absolutely terrifying!

Countless fans in white cheered and cheered.

The offensive just now can be called a mercury-dropping ground.

From stealing the ball in the backcourt to organizing a fast break, it is simple and clear, without any delay.

Rivaldo spiked the ball to dodge Essien, and the ball allowed Ballack to defend. Ronaldo responded by dodging Carvalho's press, and showed off his skills in front of Terry to shoot at an angle, all in one go!

Ribery also looked sharper.

The complementary shot gave Leeds United the lead.

Even though it is a warm-up Community Shield.

Chelsea generals also felt tremendous pressure.

Blues fans looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Who is the team that defends against counterattacks?"

When Chelsea kicks off, they must first stabilize the scene and rhythm.

The morale of the Leeds United players was high and they were fully focused on the game without relaxing at all.

Chelsea was a little embarrassed.

The score was behind, but Mourinho asked him to tighten the fence first.

Positional warfare is simple, but it is more difficult to create threats.

At this time, the frontal attack requires the individual players' abilities to play a more important role.

Robben's racing down the right was blocked. When the cross from the bottom flew to the middle of the goal, Drogba took off and collided with Kompany.

He succeeded in the challenge, but the football he pushed went over the crossbar.

Kompany staggered and fell to the ground. Although he got up immediately and stood upright, he looked at Drogba solemnly.

Stam saw this and briefly exchanged a few words with him.

Drogba, who is known as a monster, is indeed not a guy that the young central defender can handle.

But in terms of strength confrontation, Stam is confident that he can suppress Drogba.

Leeds United's fast break also flies upfield from both wings.

Ballack, Lampard, and Essien blocked the middle and it was absolutely airtight.

Jamie Redknapp and Davis organized and supported the ball. They simply passed the ball to the winger and then took turns stepping forward to carefully respond.

While Ribery was dribbling from the left, Geremi suddenly spiked the ball and changed direction to speed up and break through outside when Gremi was tightening inside.

After going down, he passed the ball across the left side of the penalty area.

Ronaldo took the initiative and stopped when he touched the ball. He pulled the ball behind him and made the pressing Carvalho take a decisive step.

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo pulled the ball behind him and knocked the ball with his right foot continuously to change direction. During the turn, he distanced himself from Carvalho and continued to control the ball to shoot.

Essien actively defended and retreated into the penalty area to block Ronaldo's route to the center.

Ronaldo speeded up the ball and retreated, then passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

Everyone's eyes turned, and what they saw was Rivaldo cutting inside, meeting the ball and directly kicking the goal!

The football flew towards the near corner of the goal.

Hilario was helpless.

Far water cannot save near fire.

But... boom.

The football hit the outside of the goal post and popped out of the baseline.

Rivaldo was not angry or disappointed, nor was he unwilling to accept the outcome of the football knocking post.

He smiled and looked towards Ronaldo.

Ronaldo smiled too.

It was as if he was "laughing" that Rivaldo could not score this goal!

Chelsea fans began to tremble in the stands.

Leeds United's pair of Brazilian Golden Ball players began to have a dreamy linkage on the pitch!

Who can not be afraid?

"Damn Fak, Real Madrid! Why did you give Ronaldo to Leeds United!"

"Well, that's what Leeds United got back in exchange for Mendieta."

"What's the difference between giving it away for free?"

"Capello doesn't like Ronaldo..."

Mourinho looked gloomy.

Not to mention how much stronger Leeds United has become.

At least Chelsea looks... weaker than last season!
