Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 20 The farce of the clown carnival!

As the game approached 75 minutes, Leeds United made a substitution.

Redondo, Lennon and Guardiola were substituted.

Forward Joakim, defensive midfielder Seth Johnson, and central midfielder Matthew Spring made three appearances.

Shen Hao stood up and walked to the sidelines to greet the three players who were replaced.

He high-fived Guardiola and Redondo with his left and right hands respectively, and then raised his hand to rub the little Lennon's head.

He gestured to the team and gave instructions to strengthen defense.

The two midfielders who came off the bench still implemented his tactical requirements well.

But the attacking group obviously didn't take his instructions seriously.

A 5:1 lead made them drift.

The offense became haphazard.

The defense was also noticeably slack.

Gillingham's defensive pressure was greatly reduced instantly.

Because Leeds United's overall offensive organization quality also dropped at least half after the substitution.

On the contrary, Gillingham's offensive organization lost the pressure from behind and repeatedly tried to lob in the frontcourt.

Leeds United has no offensive threat since the substitution.

Stan Turnette's earlier substitution to strengthen the offense began to work at this time.

Towards the end of the game, Gillingham repeatedly created dangerous situations with lobs and bombs. High center forward Sidby seized the opportunity and scored with a header.

Rewrite the score to 2:5.

Gillingham fans could only simply applaud the goal.

As time passed, death returned.

"Gillingham pulled a goal back and it certainly had no impact on the result."

"But looking at Brother Hao's expression on the sidelines, he is obviously very dissatisfied with the team's conceding the goal."

"Yes, Brother Hao was famous for his disdain when he was coaching in Chinese football. This loss of the ball shows that Leeds United can relax as a whole."

"After the game, he will definitely talk to the players about this conceded goal."

The cold light in Shen Hao's eyes unabashedly stabbed several players in the Leeds United attack group.

They only glanced at Shen Hao on the court and then looked away.

Ricketts and Buck looked at each other and shrugged.

It seemed that Shen Hao was making a fuss out of a molehill.

It's not like the cooked duck flew away.

As for?

The game is over.

"Ding, the points will be settled on the match day.

Victory, 100 points.

Goal difference, 30 points.

Total, 130 points. "

There is no reward for keeping an opponent clean.

Shen Hao turned around and left.

Only a handful of Gillingham fans were still hurling abuse at him at this time.

Everyone else was immersed in the disappointment of losing by a big score.

When being interviewed in the mixed area of ​​the stadium, the reporter asked him: "How do you feel about winning two consecutive league games by a big score?"

Shen Hao said calmly: "The season has just begun and we are laying a good foundation. Two consecutive wins are insignificant in the context of 46 league rounds. We need to stay focused and pay more."

"Do you have anything to say to Gillingham manager Stan Turnett? You should know who he is, right?"

A helpless smile appeared on Shen Hao's expression.

"What I can do is take care of myself and my team. I can't take care of others. It's their freedom to do what they want and say.

I don’t know when this clown carnival farce will end.

I have nothing to say to him, it's a waste of time. "

Shen Hao turned and walked to the locker room.

George Burley, Stan Turnett, and even Preston coach Billy Davies, who also declined an invitation to a friendly match with Leeds United before the season.

Shen Hao didn't take it seriously.

They are just distractions.

Being serious will only affect his work efficiency.

When Stan Turnet was interviewed after the game, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't give a reason when faced with the tragic 2:5 loss at home.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is unwilling to admit that Leeds United is better than Gillingham.

When asked by reporters if he still insisted that Leeds United had no future, Stan Turnett said something very clear.

"Leeds United won today, but their coach refused to shake hands after the game. This behavior is very shameful. There is absolutely no hope for Leeds United under the leadership of such a person."

Fans watching the game in a local pub in Leeds watched the live interview on television.

Everyone was a little sluggish as they held their glasses.

"Is there something wrong with this little cutie's brain?"

"Who would want to shake hands with a guy like him?"

"Although I don't like Shen, I support him in not shaking hands with this cutie."

"Whether Leeds United has a future or not has nothing to do with him. What he should worry about is whether Gillingham will be relegated."

Leeds United fans shook their heads and then toasted to celebrate their team's victory tonight.

It's the players' turn to be interviewed.

Redondo appears on camera.

When asked by a reporter about his experience in the English Championship.

Redondo smiled and praised: "The English Championship football is very intense and fast-paced. Every player seems to have plenty of physical fitness. The tension and pressure caused by running all the time makes the game smooth."

"Two games in four days, how do you feel physically?"

"I still feel that I can persevere. As a 35-year-old player, everyone says it is not easy to fight continuously, but I personally don't find it difficult."

The outside world has begun to marvel at the fact that two old guys, Redondo and Guardiola, can play well in the British Championship, which pays more attention to physical confrontation and physical endurance.

"What makes your body so dynamic?"

"I have been training hard all summer, and the team's training intensity is very high, which will help every player maximize their potential. I think this is a very important reason. At the same time, I am needed by the team again and play an important role and responsibility. It forces me to be at my best on the court.”

Leeds United fans watching the live broadcast in the bar raised their glasses and shouted: "Here's to Fernando Redondo!"

"Here's to Fernando Redondo!"

Leeds United fans drank happily.

After being tortured by the disaster of being relegated to the Championship for a long time, they were able to start the new season smoothly and win two consecutive games.

The fans got some comfort in their hearts.

Worshiping the strong is the most common phenomenon in the world.

The green field is no exception.

At this time, no fans care about Redondo's age.

Based on their performance in these two games alone, Redondo and Guardiola have won the recognition of fans.

Add to that the aura of their past glory.

There is no doubt that he has become one of the pillars of the team in the hearts of Leeds United fans.

"Go buy a Redondo jersey tomorrow!"

"Haha, I want to buy one of Guardiola's for my child."

...

Shen Hao waited in the locker room for all the players to come back.

After the big win, the players were in a happy mood and extremely relaxed.

Shen Hao poured cold water on it at this time.

"We only played good football for 60 minutes today, starting from the 10th minute and ending at the 70th minute.

I am very dissatisfied with your performance in the last 20 minutes!

We will discuss the details at the game summary meeting tomorrow afternoon. "

After Shen Hao finished speaking, he turned and left.

Since it was an away game, the coaches worked quickly to give the players muscle massages after the game.

So that everyone can start home early.

Eric Buck and Ricketts were the absolute contributors to the win today.

Both scored twice.

Ricketts snorted disapprovingly.

"5:2, are you still dissatisfied? He is really harsh."

Eric Buck smiled and said: "He is using different tricks to put pressure on us, so that he can show that he is the head coach."

Assistant coach Feiningan massaged the muscles of Ricketts' legs and said, "You can't say that. He has high expectations for you. Now that you have a good start, you should cherish it even more."

Ricketts, a black man, was clumsy, hesitated to speak, and finally fell silent.

Eric Buck nodded sinisterly and said: "Yeah, yeah, of course he has high expectations for us. Apart from us, no one else is working hard for the club."

Guardiola, Redondo and Radebe frowned slightly.

They didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Hao.

Because...Gillingham is too weak!

For a relegation team, it should be natural for them to win.

If you are complacent or careless about this, this is obviously the bad root of a team!

If the head coach turns a blind eye when symptoms appear, it will definitely plant hidden dangers for the future!

Just be on guard against the slightest change.

...

Shen Hao came to the parking lot and boarded the Leeds United bus.

Chen Hao, who was in the driver's seat, dropped his feet from the large steering wheel.

"Brother Hao, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Hao took the bottle of water from the other party and sat in the first row.

"You must be quite bored, right?"

Chen Hao laughed, took out a handheld game console and shook it.

"Mr. Tang gave it to me because he was afraid that I would be bored."

Shen Hao nodded when he saw this.

"It's appropriate. I see that a company in North America recently released a brand new handheld computer that can be installed with the XP system. If it can be used with mobile networks, I will buy one for you later, so that you can install a chat software and find people in the white clothes group to relieve your boredom. .”

Chen Hao was never polite.

"Then I would like to thank you in advance."

Half an hour later, Leeds United coaches and players boarded the bus one after another.

After counting the number of people and seeing that no one was absent, Chen Hao started the bus and headed back home.

Labor was too expensive, so in order to save budget, Leeds United rented a bus but provided their own driver.

If you let someone else do part-time work, you will definitely have to pay an extra salary.

Chen Hao works part-time as a driver.

When playing away games, if the distance is not particularly far, they will take the bus.

Chen Hao is such a versatile person that he can be seen busy in many places inside and outside the club.

On the way back.

Chen Hao drove and chatted with Shen Hao without looking back.

They communicated in Chinese and were not afraid of others listening.

"Brother Hao, I see there are a few kids in the first team. The only ones who made the squad for these two games are Lennon and Paul Keegan, who haven't played for even a minute. The other two kids didn't even make the squad. You Don’t you think highly of them?”

Shen Hao said calmly: "Well, the other two, 17-year-old Simon Walton and 19-year-old Chris Jones, I really don't think highly of them. To be honest, four or five years ago, we were 18,19 and [-] years old. At that time, he was stronger than both of them."

Chen Hao smiled and said: "It seems that England's youth training system is not full of good prospects."

Shen Hao laughed.

"Where can there be so many good talents? Those who can be seen by foreign audiences on TV are all selected from thousands of people.

Why do you ask?have a thought? "

"Yes, Mr. Tang said that I do everything by myself without anyone to take care of me. He asked me to develop some good colleagues who can help me."

"Tang always asked you to develop direct relatives. Anyway, these two people will leave when their contracts expire next summer. My Leeds United does not support idle people. At least in terms of playing football, they are worthless. If you can convince If they change their career to something else, the club can give them a job."

Chen Hao agreed and concentrated on driving.

Back to Leeds United, the players and the coach dropped the players off in town.

Shen Hao and Chen Hao returned to the hotel together.

After the midweek game, it was already early morning when we returned to the hotel.

It is definitely impossible for Shen Hao to go wandering again.

Rest honestly.

...

"Leeds United have won two consecutive games and their promotion odds have been reduced rapidly!"

"Shen Hao ridiculed George Burley and Stan Turnett as a clown's carnival!"

"No one dares to mess with Leeds United who scored 9 goals in two rounds!"

After restorative training the next afternoon, Shen Hao and the coaching staff carefully reviewed yesterday's game for the team at the game summary meeting.

Several players were visibly distracted.

Shen Hao stopped and named Buck, Ricketts, and Haley.

Each team has its own clique.

It doesn’t have to be about forming cliques to cause trouble.

It's just like-minded or similar.

It is familiar that players are divided into gangs based on their nationality.

For example, the Dutch gang, the local gang, the French gang, etc.

Some team locker rooms are divided by continent.

European players peed in a pot, while South American players hugged each other to keep warm.

Those are all wealthy or very famous teams.

For Leeds United, which is currently in decline, the small group in the locker room is just a closer exchange between players.

Haley, Ricketts, and Buck can play together on weekdays, so naturally they form a small group.

Players like Guardiola, Redondo, Radebe, and Kelly are different.

I have a family and a room, and playing football is a job.

Leave time for family after work.

He will not interfere with other players' activities.

And young players are another category.

They may have their own small group, but they never dare to disobey the head coach.

Since I had just started my career, I didn’t have the courage.

At the same time, they are also afraid that stable opportunity resources will be lost.

What young players need most is stability.

Now that Shen Hao has called his name.

The three of them also pretended to be serious.

After the summary meeting the team disbanded.

Training as usual tomorrow.

Generally, after the weekend game is over, the team resumes training the next day and then gives the team a day off.

But after the midweek game and recovery training the next day, there will be no more days off.

Need to continue preparing for the weekend games.

Nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

Thorpe Arch training ground.

Four players failed to show up for training on time.

Buck, Ricketts, Haley, Clark, Carlisle.

Training starts normally.

About half an hour later, Ricketts was the first of the four players to appear.

He trotted to the training ground.

When he came to Shen Hao's side, Shen Hao could clearly smell the smell of alcohol on him.

I didn’t even change my clothes from yesterday.

It’s really not fastidious.

Shen Hao said calmly: "Warn once, fine next time."

Ricketts still wanted to find a reason to explain, and finally went to run laps to warm up without saying a word.

Haley, Carlisle, and Buck also arrived one after another.

Shen Hao said the same thing to them.

Neither Hailey nor Carlisle had any reaction, but Buck laughed and replied to Shen Hao: "I promise, there will be no next time!"

The staff is assembled and training continues.

The episode of players being late was quickly forgotten by everyone.
