Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Sevilla's hard power belongs to the first line in Europe.

If you are in the top league, you are competing for fourth place.

But the gap with championship-level teams is definitely not just a gap in physical strength on paper.

Falling two goals behind put them in a moment of confusion.

Unsteady and disoriented.

Should we strengthen our offense or stabilize our defense first?

They don't even understand it themselves.

Leeds United appear to be more sophisticated.

When the opponent's own formation showed signs of disjoint, Leeds United decisively stepped up its offensive.

The formation, which contracted like a spring and rebounded, suddenly pressed forward, and the impact it brought caught the Sevilla defense by surprise.

Just after 40 minutes of the game, Modric and Rui Costa made short passes in front of the center circle to advance. Rui Costa was surrounded and suppressed. Modric quickly divided the ball after receiving the response.

Baynes has already started, advancing forward into the dangerous area.

When Dani Alves intercepted the ball head-on, Baines was unwilling to fight and calmly passed the ball diagonally to the left area in front of the penalty area.

Rivaldo moved to respond, and Ma Kai in front pressed the back line and moved laterally, ready to counter offside and advance forward at any time.

Sevilla's back line was retreating and shrinking blindly, flanking Ma Kai who had already scored twice.

As a result, Rivaldo made full adjustments in front of the penalty area and shot.

When Escud realized the danger, it was too late to step forward and block it.

The football made a slight arc and entered the upper left corner of the goal.

Rivaldo scored a goal as calmly and easily as if he was hitting a long shot on the training field!

"3:0! Rivaldo scores another victory for Leeds United! Playing in white against Sevilla in the Europa League is like chopping up melons and vegetables after four consecutive draws in the Premier League!"

"Sevilla are in chaos. They probably didn't expect to be led by two goals by Leeds United. Now, Leeds United will help them out!"

Juande Ramos looked gloomy.

In terms of overall experience and the level of thinking and reading ability to capture combat opportunities based on game trends, Sevilla and Leeds United are not at the same level at all.

Most Premier League teams don't have this problem.

Because their sense of rhythm is not strong.

Either play anti-counterattack, there is no need to control the rhythm.

Or beat the pace like crazy until you can't run anymore.

Sevilla fans are extremely disappointed.

But he also admitted that Leeds United was far better than Sevilla in terms of field control.

Who allowed Sevilla to play three defensive midfielders.

If you want to control the field and organize, you don't have the strength.

The strength and characteristics of players have nothing to do with artists.

Shen Hao felt relieved for the time being.

This European Super Cup is guaranteed.

After the kick-off, Sevilla took the initiative to slow down the pace and strengthen its defense.

No matter what, you need to take it slow.

The first half ended quickly.

The two teams returned to the locker room to adjust.

Shen Hao did not change the team's techniques and tactics.

The game came to the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

Leeds United still adopted a defensive counterattack posture. Sevilla did not dare to attack hard, but the offense became very restrained.

Leeds United had no good counterattack opportunities and began to focus on controlling the rhythm and scene.

Shen Hao returned to the coaching bench and sat down.

Simeone suddenly asked him: "BOSS, if we also adopt defensive counterattacks in the first four games of the Premier League, what will be the result?"

Shen Hao turned his head and looked deeply at Simeone.

He said meaningfully: "The result will be much better than four consecutive draws, but at the end of the 38 league rounds, we may not be able to win the championship."

Simone was thoughtful after hearing this.

Carefully ponder the meaning of Shen Hao's words.

If Leeds United is a newly promoted team and plays defensive counterattack with today's lineup, Shen Hao is confident that he can win the league championship with a [-]% certainty.

But Leeds United is now sitting on two and rushing three, and wants to win three consecutive Premier League titles.

Defensive counterattack can support the lower limit, but it cannot bring a considerable upper limit.

He knows that Simeone will actually be closer to a pragmatic tactical style due to his career position role, his own personality, and his experience in football.

Leeds United is not a purely romantic team.

But it’s not an extremely utilitarian style.

It can only be said that the technical and tactical style and temperament of each team are closely related to the head coach.

No matter how many personal thoughts Simeone has.

It was impossible for him to tell Shen Hao in the form of suggestions or opinions.

Because he is not the head coach.

It's just that when he takes on the position of assistant coach, he has his own thoughts.

Instead of blindly copying Shen Hao's tactical ideas and using them for your own use.

The scene became increasingly dull.

Leeds United made substitutions step by step.

Lopez, Rakitic, and Robben came on to replace Ma Kai, Rui Costa, and Rivaldo.

Leeds United always maintains the deterrence of quick counterattacks.

This kind of deterrence makes Sevilla very afraid.

They didn't dare to burn the boat.

Probably unwilling to face a massacre of defeat.

After all, if they dare to make a desperate move, the probability of Leeds United killing them in a river of blood will be higher.

The final whistle blows.

Leeds United beat Sevilla 3-0.

Defended the European Super Cup!

Last year Leeds won the UEFA Super Cup as Europa League champions, beating the Champions League champions.

This year, he defended the championship as the Champions League champion and defeated the Europa League champion.

Sevilla players and fans looked disappointed.

Facing Leeds United, who were stronger but chose to play defensive counterattack, they really felt their own insignificance.

Juande Ramos may have a way of training the offense.

But in the decisive game, he was limited by utilitarian thinking.

On the contrary, Sevilla did not show its true offensive strength and hated the Northwest.

Shen Hao's mood suddenly brightened.

This time when we came to Monaco, although Leeds United had hidden its main players, they were all here.

If you win, you will hold the cup. There is no reason not to bring anyone with you.

Winning the championship can bring about a small boost in morale.

After all, the gold content of this cup is really limited.

better than nothing.

The team's celebration after the trophy ceremony was very restrained.

The competition period has just begun, so it would be unjustifiable to indulge.

Especially since they are so close to the relegation zone in the league.

When Leeds United returned to England, UEFA conducted the draw ceremony for the new season's Champions League group stage.

Leeds United has won the European Championship in the past two years, and this year's group draw has become the seeded team in the Champions League.

When the second team in the same group was drawn, the Nerazzurri fans in Milan screamed.

"Why are you drawn with Leeds United again?"

"Not only did we play last year, we played in the warm-up match in the summer, but we are going to play again this year. I don't know, I thought we were in the same league!"

"There won't be another death group, right?"

Leeds United, Inter Milan.

After the third-tier team was announced, Inter Milan fans became even more nervous.

PSV Eindhoven!

PSV have performed much better than Ajax in the Netherlands and in Europe over the years.

The fourth team is CSKA Moscow!

Fans of Inter Milan and Leeds United will not pay too much attention to this opponent.

Shen Hao frowned after seeing the result.

It's not that you're afraid of your opponent.

But the journey consumes too much!

Flying from England to Moscow...it takes more than 12 hours!

Plus climate differences, time differences and other factors.

Traveling back and forth in a short period of time plus playing games.

As a head coach, Shen Hao feels a headache just thinking about it.

He can only hope that UEFA will act as an individual and allow Leeds United to play away games against CSKA Moscow in the first two rounds.

If it's November or even December.

I might freeze to death if I fly to Moscow.

Leeds United, Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow.

The results of this group are really much better than last year.

At least for Leeds United, it is definitely not a group of death.

There are only two teams in the five major leagues.

The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage has ended, and at the same time UEFA is conducting a summary and selection of last season's European competition.

Three Leeds United players were named in the best team.

Ronaldo, Ribery, Toldo.

Shen Hao was elected the best coach.

Tang Jinyu went to receive the award on behalf of the club’s winners.

Leeds United's players and coaches have no time to spare.

Return to England.

Leeds United took a two-day break and entered September, heading to the northeast of England to challenge Newcastle United as a guest at the beginning of the school season.

Newcastle United were still considered one of the teams in the top four by Fleet Street before the season.

On the one hand, their investment in signings is not small, and new boss Ashley's investment is more prudent. The signings are not as obsessed with famous stars as before, and the players they introduce are actual combat warriors.

Owen's return from injury, Allardyce's arrival and more.

Newcastle United is believed to have improved significantly in strength.

But after the first four rounds, Newcastle United is also in the lower reaches of the standings.

1 win, 2 draws and 1 losses.

0 point more than Leeds United's 4 wins and 1 draws.

But obviously Newcastle United is unlikely to find superiority and comfort from Leeds United.

The ambitious Ashley and Allardyce, who wants to do something big after taking up his new job, are also experiencing the troubles and pressure of a poor start.

Ashley's family is not rich.

Can't afford to lose.

If this wave of investment fails.

Then it is impossible for him to continue to invest in Newcastle United in the future.

You can only rely on the team to be self-sufficient.

Teams in each league that are considered to be in the middle or upper reaches, or the second tier, often have this fate.

If they can't continue to invest heavily, they can change their destiny and become one of the top teams in the league.

So it is difficult to stabilize the second tier in the long term simply by relying on the team's own management.

Because others are investing.

The cake of the market is often divided up by the leading teams and the biggest benefits are taken away.

In comparison, the pressure on Leeds United should be greater.

After all, they have fewer points than Newcastle United.

However, Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench after arriving at the away game, looking calm and relaxed.

No one can link him with the four-game winless start of the league.

Allardyce stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest, chewing gum and looking serious.

The starters of the two teams came on the field.

Leeds United started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Belletti, Helguera, Stam, Candela.

Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Ze Roberto.

Forwards: Robben, Ronaldo, Deisler.

Do your best.

Newcastle United's starting lineup is also quite aggressive.

Goalkeeper: Harper.

Defenders: Roger Nar, Kasapa, Steve Taylor.

Midfielder; Milner, Geremi, Butt, N'Zogbia.

Forwards: Alan Smith, Viduka, Owen.

Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench looking at Newcastle United's starting lineup and glanced at Allardyce with some curiosity.

whole job?

343.

Haha, Dutch coach.

When you are under pressure, you will increase your attack power.

Looking at this situation, Newcastle United should not be able to play defensive counterattacks at home.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially kicked off.

Fans from both sides cheered with a slightly heavy heart.

Everyone wants to grab points!

Leeds United fans may have a stronger desire to grab points than Newcastle United at this time.

They are really afraid that the team will fall into the relegation zone.

That would really go down in Premier League history in a different way.

The scene was very intense from the beginning of the game.

The two sides competed fiercely for the initiative in the midfield, fighting for every inch of ground.

The action in the confrontation is not rough, but the intensity is almost full.

Newcastle United obviously plays a wing attack. Milner on the right cooperates with Alan Smith, and N'Zogbia on the left forms a connection with Owen.

Leeds United went tit for tat.

Alan Smith experienced a serious injury at Manchester United. He suffered a broken bone from a direct free kick by Riise.

After moving to Newcastle United, he was no longer as brave as he once was.

Milner was born as a winger and naturally does not have the ability to cut inside like a modern winger.

Leeds United's corresponding defensive pressure on the left is actually pretty good.

Candela intercepted head-on, and even if he gave his opponent a chance, it was only a cross from the side.

Newcastle United's offensive performance from the left was a bit poor.

Obviously, Allardyce overestimated Owen by putting him on the wing and taking the winger route. N'Zogbia also has the characteristics of a traditional wing player.

Overall, Newcastle United has no threat of a breakthrough and is working hard to find cooperation.

During this process, they encountered defensive resistance from Leeds United, resulting in a lack of quality cooperation.

On the one hand, making mistakes while busy reveals a lack of ability.

On the other hand, Leeds United's active midfield coverage also played a very important role.

Jamie Redknapp, Ze Roberto, and Modric retreated to the midfielder when defending.

Leeds United actually have 2.5 defensive midfielders when defending.

Newcastle United, which had the advantage of home court, failed to make a successful start.

Intense fighting and fast breaks set up the rhythm, but the result was that the scene was a bit messy.

Just 15 minutes later, Leeds United, who had entered the state at St. James' Park, began to exert force.

Belletti took the lead in the attack and jumped in at high speed on the right to capture the space. After receiving a pass from Jamie Redknapp, he attacked the dangerous area in the frontcourt and cooperated with Robben.

Leeds United's poor start to the league at the beginning of the season made Robben significantly restrained in his desire to dominate the ball.

Especially against the backdrop of Ronaldo's resurgence in form.

Belletti sprinted all the way without slowing down, except for a slight sense of slowdown during the match. He received Robben's pass and accelerated from outside the penalty area to cut into the penalty area.

Steve Taylor turned around to chase and was about to get close. Belletti decisively passed the ball back to the center in an inverted triangle.

Ronaldo took the initiative to move and was flanked by Kasapa and Butt.

He took the initiative to receive the ball and went to the right, widened the distance between him and the nearby defensive players, and then passed the ball back.

Robben cut inside and passed from behind, taking advantage of the situation to hit the ball from behind Butt to the middle of the penalty area!

Rojenal quickly moved towards him to block.

Robben sensed that Gremi was approaching from behind.

He poked the ball to the left front like a dragonfly.

Goalkeeper Harper quickly moved towards the left goal post.

What caught the eye was Deisler cutting inside, meeting the ball in front of the small penalty area and hitting a neat push shot.

The football rolled to the far corner of the goal.

Harper's save was clearly not fast enough.

The football rolled into the far corner of the goal!

St. James' Park rang out with the wild shouts of Leeds United fans.

Allardyce's expression remained unchanged, but his face turned redder and redder.

Lost the ball...blood pressure started to rise!
