Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United faced Lyon and scored one goal in each half.

The defensive performance satisfied Shen Hao.

But the offensive system is still a bit "chaotic".

The thinking is not clear enough.

This is directly related to the changes in Leeds United's offensive structure.

Goals from Jamie Redknapp and substitute Rivaldo gave Leeds victory.

But Shen Hao couldn't be happy about his victory in the warm-up match.

On the contrary, he seemed preoccupied after the game.

After fully entering work mode, he was thinking about how to stimulate the team's fighting capacity to the limit all the time.

The next day, the match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan was equally exciting.

Both teams scored a lot of goals, but both teams had obvious defensive problems.

In the end, Inter Milan and Real Madrid drew 2:2.

The Rose Cup ends in two rounds.

Leeds United are neck and neck with Inter Milan.

After a day off.

Real Madrid took the lead and staged the final contest with Lyon.

Faced with the victim of last season's Champions League, Real Madrid is eager for revenge.

An equally exciting game was presented to the audience.

Lyon took the lead with a counterattack, but was defeated by Ruud van Nistelrooy at the last moment.

Real Madrid has drawn all three games.

Both Schuster and Calderon were surprised by the results.

I thought that Real Madrid had strengthened its own strength and was able to have a clear advantage in competing with strong teams.

The results were far from satisfactory.

The two teams finished the game and left Leeds that evening.

Last game day.

Leeds United compete with Inter Milan for the Rose Cup.

Shen Hao and Mancini meet again.

Mancini's attitude was obviously relatively indifferent.

Leeds United stole the show last season.

That is the glory that can only come from stepping on a wealthy family.

Shen Hao tried to make the team play more conservatively under the 433 system.

It looks like 433, but it's actually more like 442.

Because the main scoring points are Ronaldo and Robben.

In fact, if he goes to Rivaldo.

In the eyes of fans, this is still a 3r lineup.

When Ribery was here, it was 3r... When Ribery became Robben, he was still 3r.

But Shen Hao didn't do that.

Rivaldo will definitely be a substitute in the new season.

He didn't even need to communicate much with Rivaldo about this.

Rivaldo has made brilliant achievements at Leeds United, his salary is not low, and he is willing to follow Shen Hao's arrangements.

The game scene didn’t look particularly exciting.

But when Inter Milan gave Leeds a relatively loose attacking space, Robben's threat came into play.

It's quite similar to when he was at Chelsea.

The right side of the frontcourt is his exclusive corridor.

Dribbling, cutting in, and shooting all at once.

Ronaldo's covering effect is obvious.

Robben cut all the way inside to the left side of the top of the penalty area and then shot.

In the end, Leeds United defeated Inter Milan 1:0.

Although Robben performed well, it was Deisler who scored the goal.

The dust has settled on the Rose Cup.

Leeds United won the championship with 2 wins and 1 draw.

The competition ended successfully.

However, Shen Hao was not satisfied with the training effect.

Many problems were discovered during the warm-up match.

He needed to collect his thoughts.

There are many problems.

But it needs to be dealt with in a prioritized manner.

Like Ronaldo, who is in a sluggish state, there is no rush.

If he scolded him a few words, his behavior would be completely new. Shen Hao could block the door of his house and scold him all night long without falling asleep.

...

Last year's Calciopoli scandal completely changed Italian football.

After Juventus was relegated to Serie B, it was no surprise that they returned to Serie A in the summer of 07.

In just a short period of time, Juventus' dominance over the league was gone forever.

Juventus, which has entered the stage of hiding its capabilities and biding its time, wants to be the first to revive its popularity.

So they invited Leeds United to play a friendly match against them in the summer.

The appearance fee of 50 euros is definitely not low.

Leeds United played in the Rose Cup and then took a three-day break before heading to the Apennine Peninsula.

Coming to Turin, the contest between Leeds United and Juventus is also in line with Shen Hao's positioning for the warm-up match.

Strong teams have fought, but with Juventus' current strength, it is difficult to call it a strong team in European football.

It’s just that they have the foundation and capital, and if they want to revive, it’s just a matter of time.

Leeds United played relatively easily in their fourth warm-up match this summer.

Whether it is the team's overall technical and tactical strength or the players' personal abilities, they can form local advantages when facing Juventus, which can be superimposed to form an overall advantage.

Ronaldo and Robben both scored.

Seems like a good sign.

Leeds United defeated Juventus 3:1 away from home.

After this game, the new season will begin.

Chelsea defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup final last season.

Before the new season officially starts.

Leeds United will play Chelsea in a Community Shield match.

Among English football stadiums, Wembley Stadium is a national-level stadium.

It has been renovated over the past few years, so England's domestic cup finals have been moved to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

In the first half of this year, the renovation of Wembley Stadium was completed, and last season's FA Cup final was staged there.

It is now the new Wembley Stadium.

At the pre-match press conference, Shen Hao said frankly: "The results of Leeds United's summer warm-up are not satisfactory to us. We still need time."

Whether it is the determination of the core technical and tactical system, or the adjustment of lineup combinations and individual player status.

Shen Hao found that this summer may be the "most difficult" preparation period since he coached.

Perhaps this is directly related to his high positioning of Leeds United.

If Leeds United were just a team competing for fourth place in the Premier League.

So just looking at the results of the warm-up match, it's definitely not bad.

But the defending champions of the Champions League and Premier League should be the standard.

This clearly falls short of expectations.

But just as Manchester United also encountered similar problems, Chelsea's lack of big moves in the transfer market in the summer brought negative morale to the army.

Every family has its cupboard.

time does not wait.

Everyone needs more time.

But God is fair to everyone on this point.

There is the European Cup next summer.

Europe's top leagues will compete for time to prepare for national teams.

England has not qualified for the European Cup finals to this day.

However, the schedule has set aside more preparation time for the Three Lions.

Early August.

The Community Shield is played at the new Wembley Stadium.

Leeds United and Chelsea meet on a narrow road.

Shen Hao stepped into the new Wembley Stadium with a calm expression, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Mourinho.

Mourinho, who always showed high spirits in the past, was obviously frowning and looking worried.

Everyone has something to worry about.

But Mourinho showed it subconsciously.

She seemed like a resentful woman who had turned into a yellow-faced woman.

Seeing his expression, everyone knew that he was suffering.

Sugar daddy Abu doesn’t give money to spend.

It's really sad.

But perhaps Mourinho himself did not realize that his expressions and gestures would have a very bad impact on the team.

Shen Hao nodded to the other party and did not exchange greetings.

When Mourinho encountered a coaching crisis last season, Shen Hao finally supported him in terms of public opinion.

Business is done publicly, but there may not be any conflicts in private.

The starters of both teams enter the field.

Fans are looking forward to it.

After waiting for a summer, fans will return to the stadium to watch games. Naturally, they expect to see exciting games and experience the passion brought by green venues.

Leeds United started 433.

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Belletti, Kompany, Helguera, Candela.

Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Ze Roberto.

Forwards: Robben, Ronaldo, Deisler.

Leeds United's starting lineup looks worse than when they played in the Champions League last season.

Because people will not think that Modric is better than Rui Costa now.

It is also doubtful whether Leeds United's midfield defense can withstand the loss of Roy Keane.

As for the effect of Robben replacing Ribery, I'm afraid not many people are optimistic about him now.

But this is really not Leeds United's initiative to lower their combat effectiveness.

Ribery's 8000 million euro transfer is understandable.

And Rui Costa is old, so there is no problem in updating.

As for Ronaldo's sluggish state, that is beyond Shen Hao's control.

Compared with Leeds United's "decline in combat effectiveness", Chelsea's starting lineup is a bit unbearable.

The same formation is 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Carvalho, Ben Haim, Ashley Cole.

Midfielder: Essien, Lampard, Mikel.

Forwards: Wright-Phillips, Joe Cole, Malouda.

A 433 system without a positive center.

Drogba, Ballack, Terry, the three generals on the central axis are collectively absent.

It's no wonder why Mourinho has such a bitter look on his face.

The house leak happens to rain overnight, and the ship is late and hits the wind again!

The referee blew his whistle and the fans cheered enthusiastically, and the game began.

Leeds United must be cautious against opponents like Chelsea.

Chelsea's midfield is still strong.

But the offense must have space to counterattack in order to be a threat.

If there is no space for a group of fast and technical forwards, the advantage of sudden speed cannot be used.

Although the Community Shield is also a warm-up, Leeds United obviously takes it very seriously.

Play slowly and slowly, not at a fast pace.

Chelsea naturally attaches great importance to defense.

Being invincible is the foundation of Mourinho's tactics.

Regardless of the strength of the team's starting lineup today, Chelsea's generals will still go all out to give their best performance when facing Leeds United.

Tough confrontation, active zone defense, tight defense.

Chelsea's performance.

However, after working hard on the solid defense line, their sharp counterattack was never presented to the audience.

Leeds United's position battle was brutally strangled.

Almost every impact of Deisler, Ronaldo and Robben in the dangerous offensive area is a solo operation.

It's not that there is no conscious cooperation, but Chelsea's defensive cutting is very good.

Leeds United has not yet developed a new style of play to promote the offensive threat.

Shen Hao stared at the sidelines.

He was thinking about the breaking point.

So far, combined with actual combat tests, what he can determine is that Ronaldo and Robben are the main c and deputy c, and the striker cannot add a forward with the right to fire.

Otherwise, the team's defense will not be strong enough.

This is why Rivaldo must be a substitute.

If none of the three forwards can bring defensive contributions to the team, it will be dangerous for Leeds United's defense to be under pressure.

Maybe there will be no problem playing against 80% of the teams. They can use offense instead of defense and suppress their opponents with firepower.

But there are still 20% of opponents who will make them confused.

Although Modric is protected by two midfielders behind him.

But strictly speaking, he is not an attacking midfielder with a very strong ability to break through.

The attacking midfielder with the strongest penetration ability in the contemporary era is undoubtedly Kaká.

Modric is a versatile central midfielder.

This makes Leeds United's ability to tear apart the opponent's defense from the center a little worse than last season.

Rui Costa's through-pass creativity is unique. Modric's stronger point is that he can bring about a smoother offensive and defensive connection and deliver offensive opportunities forward.

But the crucial advance was not stable.

Deisler and Robben tried to form a straight line with Ronaldo. This offensive style was too clear to make Chelsea's defense vulnerable.

Belletti or Candela's assists to the frontcourt will bring a sudden threat, but on the contrary, Leeds United's defense will also be at risk of being counterattacked.

At the same time, it will take time for Deisler to adapt to the left wing and find a sense of position.

The confrontation between the two teams on the field was not particularly fierce.

Because they are unable to pose an explosive threat on the offensive end.

Mourinho seemed a little frustrated.

Without Abramovich's financial support, Chelsea's overall strength will theoretically not improve.

But what Shen Hao doesn't understand is if he is discouraged just because of insufficient investment in summer signings.

It seems that Mourinho is too willful.

Isn’t Chelsea’s current lineup strong?

A world-class midfielder, and after Terry recovers from injury, he will also be a quasi-world-class defense.

The forward line is a little worse.

Drogba, Shevchenko, Malouda, Kalou, Joe Cole, Wright-Phillips.

In theory, it also has close to world-class strength.

Last season's data does not reflect this.

Then downgrade the forward strength assessment by one notch.

Chelsea's overall strength is still very strong.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Is this better than the Porto led by Mourinho in terms of hard power?

But he seemed to be engaging in a cold war with a negative attitude and a pessimistic attitude.

Who is he fighting against...maybe it's Abramovich, maybe it's Kenyon, maybe it's himself.

Anyway, Shen Hao feels that with Mourinho's character, he doesn't look so free and easy now.

For example, Capello resigned after leading Real Madrid to win the championship, which is both true and pure.

Maybe Mourinho really has feelings for Chelsea and can't bear to give up.

There is still unfinished business and goals.

If this is the case, then we should cheer up even more.

Shen Hao didn't understand.

Chelsea's attack was weak.

Mourinho does have a way out.

He can wait.

When he can put Drogba on the field.

Leeds United can't wait.

Because the ones they put on the field are the strongest.

It was not until the second half that the game, which had been a bit dull, suddenly experienced a sensory impact that made all the fans wake up from a dream!

Rui Costa, who had just come on as a substitute, sent an overhead pass.

It seemed to be flying towards the center of the penalty area, but the football was spinning left in the air.

A curveball actually!

Deisler made a strong cut and volleyed the ball towards the center of the goal.

Ma Kai, who also came on as a substitute, got rid of Ben Haim, grabbed the point and outflanked the ball and sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Cech was hit in the face and was unable to recover!

Shen Hao applauded.

In fact, it is easy to defeat him like this.

But he knows that if he still uses Ronaldo, he still has to carefully polish his skills and tactics.

Because Ronaldo's biggest threat is not to eat cakes, but to explode with the ball!
