Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Monaco, Stade Louis II.

The peak showdown between Europa League champions Leeds United and Champions League champions Barcelona has begun.

After the game started, Leeds United took the initiative to enter a state of resistance.

The formation shrinks and plays steadily.

Already prepared to face Barcelona's stormy offensive impact.

Deco and Xavi organized an offensive in the middle to handle the ball concisely and efficiently. They took the lead in delivering the ball to the left side of the frontcourt to find Ronaldinho.

When the Brazilian elf touched the ball, he first cut across the ball and then spiked the ball back to the wing to advance forward. After getting rid of Davis, he faced Kelly for a rhythm and then suddenly moved the ball and cut inside.

Compared with Henry's changes in dribbling rhythm, the ball control is more skillful and delicate, as if the football is stuck to his feet.

Davis returned to defense to assist Kompany.

Ronaldinho delivers a short pass to the center of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Eto'o met Stam head-on and tried to find an angle to shoot, but Roy Keane's defense destroyed the ball from the side and behind.

Toldo stepped forward to control the ball, and Eto'o rushed forward to counterattack.

Toldo calmly passed the ball across the wing.

Shen Hao noticed that Ronaldinho did not engage in counter-attack harassment, which allowed Kelly to easily dribble forward and instigate a counterattack with ease.

Jamie Redknappla responded from the side, and before Xavi and Deco came to press from the side, the former passed the ball straight forward.

Rivaldo encountered the zone defense of fellow countrymen Silvio and Thiago Motta in front, and he decisively passed the ball diagonally to the center.

Ronaldo took the initiative to stop the ball and adjust, and then blasted a high-quality shot from outside the penalty area.

Valdes made a flying save and saved the ball from the bottom line.

Barcelona fans were shocked.

Leeds United's quick counterattack was flawless. While pursuing speed, the offensive quality was not low.

It's no surprise that they were able to win the Europa League last season.

There are indeed two brushes.

Barcelona has not realized at this time that Leeds United has a clear goal at the start of the game today, and using defensive counterattacks to deal with them will maximize its own advantages.

They did not play Rui Costa today, but faced the toughest defensive midfield combination.

After compressing the space, it is not a static defense like Chelsea, but will actively press in a small area to form a zone defense.

When Barcelona launched an offensive again and reached the frontcourt, Ronaldinho did not advance but retreated under the attack. After controlling the ball, he retreated and sent a long diagonal pass.

It seems that a connection with Messi is about to be formed.

But Candela took the initiative to head the ball out, causing Barcelona's attack to be in vain again.

Xavi controlled the ball in front of the center circle, quickly hit the wall with Deco, and then sent a precise direct pass.

Although the ball still reached Messi's feet, he was directly pressed by Roy Keane and Candela, causing him to quickly control the ball in a small area and change direction to complete the dodge, and then was intercepted by Jamie Redknapp head-on.

Shen Hao's deep eyes flashed with meaningful colors.

He felt that Barcelona's attacking efficiency was not as strong as expected.

The decline of core Ronaldinho is only a little bit.

But his state was obviously relaxed, and this relaxation caused him to lose his sharp edge.

He won't be very technical in his performance.

However, the combination of the individual and the whole always has the regret of "just a little bit".

If the passing is more accurate, the breakthrough is sharper, and the speed is faster, the quality of the entire offense may undergo a qualitative change that will overwhelm Leeds United's defense.

But just a little bit.

When Belletti assisted Messi in the frontcourt, his pass was directly confiscated by Toldo.

Toldo raced against the clock and started the offensive by throwing the ball.

Shen Hao's requirement for the team to play at a fast pace as a whole is almost abnormal.

When the team should be fast, the goalkeeper cannot slow down his own pace.

Davis successfully connected in the middle of the backcourt, and Barcelona's forwards were not very motivated to counterattack.

This allows Leeds United to have a relatively relaxed environment to organize the offense.

Jamie Redknapp responded and then passed the ball across the wing. Candela quickly stepped in to meet the ball and sent a direct mid-range pass.

Ribery had already started, speeding along the left side of the frontcourt.

After the ball rolled from behind, he had already left Xavi and Motta behind on a parallel line.

When he touches the ball, he changes direction and cuts inwards towards Barcelona's penalty area.

Belletti assisted but didn't come back.

When Leeds United counterattacked, they had a very keen awareness of catching the defensive gaps in the opponent's backcourt and wide areas.

Straight to the point.

Puyol was forced to move inside towards Ribery to prepare for an interception.

But Ribery decisively passed the ball diagonally to the center while dribbling at a lightning speed.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area, Ronaldo made a forward touch and smashed the ball with his right foot before heading to the left.

Max immediately rushed in front of him to defend.

Just when the two were about to confront each other, Ronaldo suddenly stopped and turned, flicking the ball across with the outside of his right foot.

Ronaldo consciously raised the ball slightly to the right and changed direction, just in time for Max to subconsciously stretch his legs to destroy it. As a result, the football flew over the opponent's feet.

Ronaldo crossed the opponent and smashed the ball with his right foot at the moment the football hit the ground, speeding up and impacting forward to the right.

After breaking through Max with the ball, Ronaldo swung his leg and volleyed.

The football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

Valdes made a flying save but was unable to save the ball.

The whole stadium at Louis II was shocked!

The audience was all surprised.

"Ronaldo scored, Leeds scored with a blitz!"

"Ribery was too fast, and this counterattack made Barcelona's midfield do nothing!"

"Ronaldo's handling of the ball is also a pleasure to watch. Max was completely eaten alive by Ronaldo, and his shots were crisp and clean. This is the absolute strength of a super forward!"

"Haha, Barcelona didn't expect it. As the Europa League champions, we scored first, and now the pressure is on Barcelona's side."

Barcelona fans were stunned.

"Is that Ronaldo? He hasn't performed like this in the past two years at Real Madrid!"

"You see he has obviously lost a lot of weight. What kind of place is Leeds United?"

"No, I have a very ominous premonition!"

Although Ronaldo once played for Barcelona, ​​times have changed and he is now a stranger to Barcelona. Of course, he has no worries about scoring goals at this time.

Shake your fingers and run to celebrate with a smile on your face and enjoy the crazy cheers from the fans.

He was surprised by the ease with which he felt after scoring the goal.

This is a sign that your physical condition continues to change for the better.

Rijkaard's expression turned gloomy.

Even though Leeds United was the Premier League champion last season, he actually didn't take it seriously.

They eliminated the Premier League champion Chelsea in the Champions League last season.

Premier League champion?

Not worth mentioning.

Especially after the start, I saw Leeds United playing a defensive counterattack very similar to Chelsea.

The contempt in his heart was just not written on his face.

It seems that the Premier League teams can only play anti-counterattack.

But Leeds United's lightning-like counterattack just now really made him feel incredible.

At least Chelsea doesn't have a striker who can eat Max head-on.

But Leeds did it.

What does this phenomenon mean?

This means that if Max wants to guard Ronaldo, he must have helpers.

Even if it doesn't mean that every one-on-one encounter will be broken down, judging from the situation just now, even if it is a [-]-[-] situation, it means that Barcelona's defense is in danger.

But as a Champions League champion, Rijkaard believes more in the team's own style and technical and tactical strength.

There was no deliberate adjustment to strengthen defense.

He didn't believe that Leeds United could still play such a wonderful offense.

It must be an accident!

Shen Hao was not surprised by the arrival of the goal.

Barcelona does not have a defensive midfielder.

Both Xavi and Thiago Motta are organizational in style.

There is neither a beastly waist like Essien in modern times, nor a tackling machine like Makelele.

As a center forward, Ronaldo will have very little defensive pressure from behind.

What's more, he still has enough room to play on the counterattack.

He seemed calm about scoring goals, and his gestures to the team were just to let the team firmly defend against counterattacks and not to relax.

Barcelona continued to strengthen its offensive after conceding the ball.

The team became more serious and their running was significantly strengthened.

When Messi dribbled forward from the right, changed direction to get rid of Franck Ribery's pursuit, and after encountering Jamie Redknapp, he suddenly diverted the ball and changed direction before sending a direct pass. The series of operations were smooth and smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Shen Hao saw it in his eyes and felt envious in his heart.

pity.

It's a pity that he can't get Messi.

It is also a pity that Barcelona does not have Messi as the core.

But Ronaldinho.

This means that Messi without a core position will not get more ball rights than Ronaldinho.

His role is also almost a team support.

Eto'o was unable to turn around under the attack, so he passed the ball back to Deco, who quickly transferred the ball.

Ronaldinho moved inside to touch the ball and adjusted, like a simplified version of the handsome cow's tail. He made a breakthrough from Davis with one push and another, then adjusted with the ball and then took a long shot.

The football flies towards the goal.

Toldo flew out and blocked the ball with his left hand.

Stam moved to block Eto'o who wanted to take a follow-up shot.

Toldo quickly got up and hugged the ball.

Barcelona fans were surprised again.

"Was Toldo really injured before?"

"Doesn't he look like he is playing with an injury?"

"Leeds United really have two skills."

Leeds United quickly broke into the frontcourt. Xavi and Thiago Motta quickly returned to the defense and combined with the defenders to surround Ronaldo.

Rivaldo also tried a long shot after dribbling outside the penalty area.

Although Valdez struggled to make a save and missed the ball, he was relieved when the ball missed the far post.

Barcelona's offensive quality in the frontcourt has begun to improve, but it is also very limited.

When Ronaldinho completed a triangle pass with Deco and Eto'o, he faced Kompany on the left side of the penalty area and faked his body, then suddenly spiked the ball towards the bottom line and broke through. Kompany blocked the inside and Was pushed outside.

It was too late to turn around and try to block it again.

Watching Ronaldinho send a cross.

When the football flew to the back of the penalty area, Messi, who had cut in place, could only take off and head the ball towards the goal.

Unfortunately, the football he pushed went directly over the crossbar.

Like hitting a plane with his head.

Just after 20 minutes of the game, Leeds United's quick counterattack once again swept the frontcourt.

After Ribery dribbled into the dangerous offensive area, he chose to pass the ball back in an inverted triangle when faced with Belletti.

Harvey turned around and saw Jamie Redknapp rushing towards him, leading the ball and sending a through pass.

Ronaldo didn't hesitate to respond with his back, and he passed the ball across to find Rivaldo, who speeded up the inside cut and passed the ball past Max.

Max was restrained by Ronaldo and turned slowly, but Rivaldo changed direction again to seize his return route.

Seeing Rivaldo approaching the small penalty area, Barcelona's defense quickly retreated.

Ronaldo surrounded the goal, and Ribery cut in from afar to connect.

At the critical moment, Rivaldo passed the ball back in an inverted triangle when Valdes attacked him to block his shooting angle.

Everyone's eyes turned, and they saw Jamie Redknapp running into the penalty area to meet the ball and shoot!

boom!

A white rainbow flashed across his eyes.

When everyone came to their senses, the football was already spinning in the goal.

"Jamie! Another victory for Leeds! This goal will definitely make Barcelona people's heads buzz!"

"The handsome Jamie Redknapp is now weathered, and he exudes mature charm after experiencing many vicissitudes. At the age of 33, he is bound to play a key role in the white jersey this season!"

Leading by two goals.

Jamie Redknapp rushed to the sideline in excitement and roared, sliding to his knees in celebration.

The fans in white cheered like crazy!

Barcelona fans were stunned and in disbelief.

"This Leeds United is a bit scary!"

"Jamie Redknapp... also has two brushes."

"Stop talking, Leeds United are not selling brushes, they are very powerful! We were careless."

Barcelona may have underestimated the enemy.

But his condition is definitely not at its best.

Compared to Leeds United, which has already started playing in the Premier League, the overall rhythm and state are getting better early.

Barcelona seems a bit relaxed.

Rijkaard had to walk to the sidelines sullenly.

Angry!

The Champions League champions were beaten twice by the Europa League champions after playing only half of the first half?

This is the beginning of a nightmare.

He made a statement with his actions, and his team definitely needs a stronger performance.

A smile appeared on Shen Hao's lips, his eyes sparkled, and his whole person exuded a charming and confident charm.

At this moment, what he can be sure of is that Barcelona is definitely not at its strongest.

And combined with the abnormal phenomenon that Ronaldinho's ability began to decline.

He even suspects that Barcelona's current technical and tactical system and framework may never return to its peak.

The reason is actually simple.

If Ronaldinho is strong, Barcelona will be strong.

Just like Ronaldinho's performance in the Champions League final was unsatisfactory.

If Arsenal hadn't been overwhelmed by their numerical advantage, it's hard to say who would win in the end.

Now under heavy pressure, Barcelona is bound to continue to strengthen its offense.

Perhaps the Leeds United defense will suffer a greater test.

But as long as Leeds United is not equalized by their opponents, they will have more counterattack opportunities and the counterattack environment will be better!

Honoring the flag with the Champions League champion will lay a positive momentum for the Champions League group stage starting next month.

There couldn't be a better start to the new season.

Now he is looking forward to Barcelona's next performance.

Just let the horse come!
