Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 288: Making up for the regrets of last season!

Leeds United leads Liverpool by three goals.

The overall situation of the game is set.

After a series of games at the beginning of the season, the outside world has basically figured out Shen Hao's intention to make substitutions on the spot.

Going to Kelly is to strengthen the defense.

Van Bronckhorst came on the scene to replace Candela, who had previously burned his energy.

Since Leeds United focuses on full-back assists, it is natural to control their physical fitness.

If the trend goes well, allowing Belletti and Candela to rush for 60 minutes is almost the limit of their age.

It's okay to continue using them.

But there is a risk of overdraft due to accumulated fatigue.

In order for them to maintain their excellent ability to sustain operations, avoiding overdraft is the key to employment.

The game is settled for Liverpool.

Defeat at Elland Road is a foregone conclusion.

But the Liverpool generals did not surrender in despair.

Neither his posture nor his mentality seems negative.

Leeds United never got a particularly good chance to counterattack.

However, Liverpool disrupted Leeds United's defense in repeated attempts to create threats through offensive organization.

Even though Torres controlled the ball and failed to pose a fatal threat to Leeds United's defense, it still attracted the absolute attention of Leeds United's defense.

Just after the 85th minute of the game, Torres's restraining effect and Kuyt's support from the side, Gerrard inserted a feint shot and then passed the ball to Benayoun. The latter's sudden breakthrough tore apart Leeds United's defense, and in Use a powerful shot from the penalty area to hit the ball into the far corner of the goal!

Liverpool fans cheered.

It's not only a face-saving measure, but also gives them some comfort.

At least there's not much problem with the team's fighting spirit.

Benitez remained calm.

Thoughts in my mind.

After all, Liverpool still had to play 433.

If they lost points against weak teams, they only discovered problems in offensive firepower and organizational creativity.

Then the confrontation with the defending champion Leeds United made them more deeply aware of the flaws in the technical and tactical system.

But even Benitez realized the problem.

Liverpool also need to pay the price of a defeat.

If facing Leeds United always focuses on correcting mistakes, how can Liverpool compete for the championship?

Leeds United 3:1 Liverpool.

Nothing could change in the final minutes of the game.

The game is over.

Leeds United continue their winning streak.

Shen Hao and Benitez shook hands after the game, and the two looked at each other and nodded.

Benitez looked at Shen Hao's leaving figure and felt more and more that Shen Hao had become unpredictable.

Think back to the past two seasons.

Leeds United's playing style and technical and tactical system have been different for three consecutive Premier League seasons.

As a newly promoted team, they use Rivaldo as the core of the frontcourt and focus on fast breaks.

Last season, the forwards were mainly free to cooperate, similar to the Brazilian team's offensive system. This is understandable, after all, they have Ronaldo and Rivaldo.

But what’s really scary about Leeds United this season is the unpreventable full-back assists!

System changes each season are not an independent factor in personnel changes at a certain position.

Combined with other position roles in the team, changes in player characteristics.

Benitez believes that Shen Hao must have made extraordinary efforts behind the scenes in the team's personnel matching and technical and tactical transformation.

Thinking of this, Benitez also sounded a mental alarm for himself.

Always stay with me.

He also has to work harder to get Liverpool back on track.

Facing the media after the game, Shen Hao's comments on the game were limited.

There is no intention to show off one's power.

Fleet Street can't wait to add insult to injury to Liverpool, and the best scenario would be to see Benitez take the blame and resign.

However, Liverpool's two moneyless owners will certainly not allow Benitez to leave.

As for Leeds United, what is highly anticipated is the Rose Derby a week later!

Two teams that have been in hot and invincible form recently met on a narrow road.

The outside world will also lament that they met too early.

Manchester United also continued their winning streak in this round.

Arsenal also won and continue to lead the table.

Leeds United rose to third place in the league after beating Liverpool.

No. 2 is Manchester United, 3 points behind Arsenal.

Leeds United are 4 points behind Arsenal at the top of the table.

Not much.

The pressure must be on Arsenal now.

...

The Champions League group stage schedule arranged by UEFA is quite friendly to Leeds United.

They visited CSKA Moscow in the second round of the group stage.

The further back you go, the colder it gets in Eastern Europe.

Even the recent weather must have made Leeds United very uncomfortable.

But it’s much better than experiencing the Siberian cold snap when it’s freezing and snowy.

Leeds United's squad for Eastern Europe left Fleet Street speechless.

Are you sure you want to play in the Champions League?

Instead of playing in the League Cup?

Shen Hao left all his main players in Leeds.

On the one hand, I really don’t want to torture the main lineup in such a long-distance game, and on the other hand, I take into account the big battle with Manchester United on the weekend.

Let the main team stay at home to recuperate.

Bai Muxin thoughtfully filled Shen Hao's suitcase with clothes to keep out the cold.

Shen Hao put on a warm coat after getting off the plane in Moscow.

All the Leeds United substitutes almost sneezed.

Really, it's a little cold.

CSKA Moscow lost to PSV Eindhoven in the first round of the group stage.

If you want to advance to the knockout rounds, you must grab points at home.

Leeds United came to the away game without their main lineup. Fans of the Fighting Nation thought that Leeds United underestimated them.

The momentum of cheering at home is really scary.

Shen Hao was wearing a warm coat.

As a result, some shirtless fans of the Fighting Nation could be seen shouting.

Leeds United didn’t even bring their main goalkeeper.

When we come to the away game, we naturally play defensive counterattack.

Mackay formed a trident with Claudio Lopez and Rivaldo.

Seth Johnson, Rakitic and Davis are the three midfielders.

Carlisle, Thiago Silva, Kilgallon and Baines form the back line.

Blazer guarded the goal.

After the game started, Leeds United put on a defensive counterattack posture.

Shen Hao did not expect to win in the away game.

Playing a game with this lineup and setting the goal as victory would be really arrogant.

It would be the best outcome if we could escape unscathed.

Therefore, Leeds United has a conservative attitude and a utilitarian style of play.

Seeing the posture of the defending Champions League champions, CSKA Moscow continued to attack Leeds United's defense while taking the initiative.

Before the home team could pose a clear threat, Leeds United's quick counterattack stumbled in the frontcourt and posed a threat.

Rivaldo almost had the ball stolen while he was getting rid of the ball on the spot, but the football that was destroyed by the opponent's outstretched legs was controlled by Rivaldo, and then he broke in and successfully sent a through ball.

Claudio Lopez successfully countered offside and then shot the far corner of the goal and hit the post!

However, the rebounded football was sent into the goal by Ma Kai.

Leeds United took the lead in the away game.

Shen Hao felt that this was an unexpected surprise.

With the goal, Leeds United became more determined to play defensive counterattack.

CSKA Moscow also increased its vigilance and chose to play it slow and steady.

Neither team could change the score in the first half.

But after the game entered the second half, CSKA Moscow's offensive became more fierce as its state improved.

As the game approached 60 minutes, they stormed and caused Leeds United's defensive chaos in the penalty area. If the Brazilian forward seized the opportunity, he pushed and scored.

CSKA Moscow equalized the score.

The roar of the Fighting Nation fans started to get a little louder in the cold weather.

The competition became more and more intense.

Leeds United's decline on the scene is very obvious.

In a very passive situation, Shen Hao replaced Rivaldo with Rui Costa.

Soon after Rui Costa came on the scene, he penetrated CSKA Moscow's defense with a half-high ball of more than 40 yards in the backcourt.

After successfully countering offside, Claudio Lopez directly chose to assist Ma Kai in the penalty area for another victory!

Leeds United lead CSKA Moscow 2:1.

Shen Hao almost burst into flames on the sidelines.

If the substitute rotation lineup can really win the away game, then the situation of qualifying for the Champions League group stage will be more optimistic than expected.

However, Leeds United's second lead obviously angered CSKA Moscow.

For the rest of the game, CSKA Moscow launched a bombardment.

Leeds United's overall combat effectiveness obviously gradually declined in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Their biggest enemy in this away game is actually the cold weather.

When the game entered stoppage time, CSKA Moscow finally knocked on Leeds United's goal through repeated cross bombing.

When the score was rewritten as 2:2, Shen Hao just had a look of helplessness on his face.

Then he cheered up and boosted the team's morale.

CSKA Moscow attempted to stage a reversal in a short period of time, but they failed to seize the opportunity.

The final whistle blows.

Leeds United beat CSKA Moscow 2:2 away from home.

Retired from the away game.

Shen Hao expressed satisfaction with the result at the post-match press conference.

In another match in the same group, Inter Milan defeated PSV Eindhoven at home.

In this group, Leeds United leads the standings with 4 points.

Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven are tied on 3 points.

CSKA Moscow is at the bottom with 1 point.

Leeds United are on their way home.

The round trip took more than 24 hours just on the road.

The journey made people dizzy and exhausted.

Back home, some players who traveled to Eastern Europe will have a day off to rest and adjust.

However, Shen Hao still insists on leading the team in training to prepare for the Rose Derby at Old Trafford on the weekend.

The day before the much-anticipated Rose Derby, Shen Hao attended the pre-match press conference in the evening.

The press hall was overcrowded.

It's not just Fleet Street that's paying attention.

After Leeds United won two consecutive Premier League titles, their focus battle attracted the attention of the world.

Media from more than 200 countries and regions around the world will broadcast the game live.

The packed house made Fleet Street reporters think of a competition of this level in their minds, plus there were so many media from other countries.

Shen Hao shouldn't deny face, right?

Shen Hao appears.

After sitting down, he said with a normal expression: "Leeds United failed to win the game against Manchester United twice last season. This was a regret for us in winning the championship. We must avoid such regrets from happening again this season, and it will also give us a The fans have an explanation.”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

Have a look.

The Leeds tyrant is about to make a shocking statement again.

A reporter immediately raised his hand to ask a question.

But Shen Hao chose to ignore it.

He continued: "In my opinion if Manchester United want to take points at home tomorrow, the best way is to put the bus in, and if they don't do that, Leeds will continue to climb up the table."

After saying this, Shen Hao stood up and left.

He has never been interested in nagging reporters about the team's status, individual players' situations, or commenting on other matters in the Premier League.

He only focuses on his work and life.

The reporters at the scene were all stunned.

Fleet Street journalists were angry and laughing.

Sure enough, that guy is here again!

Fortunately, Shen Hao also gave them enough headline topics.

Media reporters from other countries looked at each other with confusion.

Some people even speculated whether Shen Hao had an urgent need to urinate.

After last WC, come back and continue the press conference.

But the Fleet Street reporters had quietly packed up their things and left.

Colleagues from other countries were even more stunned.

This... is it over?

...

Before the game, Ferguson bluntly stated that Manchester United would compete for the title this season. At the same time, their opponents Leeds United were more dangerous than Arsenal.

Arsenal are only temporarily leading the table.

Neither Ferguson nor Shen Hao believe that they have the strength to continue to lead.

But Ferguson dared to point this out.

At the same time, Manchester United's injury problems have made the outside world worry that they will not be able to exert their strongest combat effectiveness at home.

However, Ferguson said Manchester United is not afraid of any challenges and difficulties.

The tenacity in the Red Devils spirit is always closely related to the temperament of the head coach.

Ferguson's fighting spirit, stubbornness, and fearlessness deeply influenced Manchester United.

...

"The Rose Derby is coming! Can Leeds United win at Old Trafford?"

"The Leeds tyrant plans to capture Old Trafford!"

"The Red Devils face the biggest test of the season, the invasion from the defending champion!"

When match day comes, security in Manchester becomes tense.

The influx of Leeds United fans into Manchester means the atmosphere in the city is extraordinary.

Shen Hao visited Old Trafford again and was indignantly insulted by Red Devils fans when he entered the stadium.

His arrogance and strength in public opinion made Red Devils fans not uncomfortable, but absolutely angry!

Although Manchester United has indeed been unable to hold its head high in front of Leeds United in the past two seasons.

But starting from the bottom line, Manchester United is still ten blocks behind Leeds United.

It's just that Manchester United fans themselves haven't noticed that the capital they can show off is constantly decreasing.

When Leeds United was a newly promoted team, they looked down on Leeds United at all.

Just want to say, have you ever won the Premier League championship?

Leeds United fans were speechless.

But as Leeds United won the Premier League title.

Manchester United fans will feel that Leeds United is just a flash in the pan. There is no defending champion and no dominance at all.

But Leeds United not only completed the defense of the Premier League, but also won the Champions League!

What can now bolster the confidence of Manchester United fans is their greater number of Premier League titles and two Champions League titles.

Shen Hao stood in the visiting team coach's command area at Old Trafford, looking at this glorious dream theater.

He knew his journey had just begun.

He will build Leeds United step by step into the most successful club in England, Europe and the world!
