Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Most Leeds United fans will shake their heads and sigh after getting up.

Then the daily routine began tacitly.

Scold Manchester United!

"If you mess with Fak, Manchester United will not live up to expectations!"

"It was 0:0 Chelsea in the away game. I thought they could defeat the Siberian tycoons at home, but they were eliminated by Chelsea at home. It was embarrassing!"

"Everyone thought they could beat Manchester United in the League Cup final, but now they can only beat Chelsea!"

"Did you read today's headline in L'Equipe?"

"Look, Chelsea vs. Leeds United, Mourinho vs. Shen Hao!"

"Haha, we haven't been promoted yet, but we seem to be even more prosperous than we were in the Premier League!"

...

Advancing to the League Cup final, whether to play Chelsea or Manchester United, the difficulty is similar for Leeds United.

They are not in a position to pick their opponents.

But preparations for war are different.

Because Manchester United and Chelsea are similar in strength, but have completely different styles and characteristics.

During training, Shen Hao just saved up enough points for a lottery draw and drew decisively.

The moment he saw the result, Shen Hao sighed helplessly.

But on second thought, it seems pretty good.

Be prepared.

A scroll that increases physical strength by 15% and is effective for 30 days.

In addition, he also has a 20% physical enhancement scroll in his hand.

Shen Hao has more confidence for the League Cup final.

...

The league is on schedule.

Leeds United had just finished playing Liverpool, and the team went to an away game to challenge Derby County.

Thinking back to the season opener, when Leeds United faced Derby County at home, Derby County coach George Burley made rude remarks about Shen Hao and Leeds United.

Now Leeds United is visiting Derby County as a guest, but George Burley did not dare to make any comments about Shen Hao and Leeds United before the game.

Became a shrinking turtle.

Naturally, Shen Hao would not be familiar with the other party.

Compared with Derby County, it is basically hopeless to compete for second place. The best result is to get a play-off place. Leeds United is far ahead in the league.

Maybe the two teams will never see each other again next season.

Shen Hao couldn't do it anymore and stepped on it.

After more than half a season of training and improvement.

Strong teams have basically reached the stage where they only need a head coach to maintain their form.

For those teams that cannot show their strength, or whose strength is limited, they will definitely not be able to stay at the top of the standings.

Derby County is now ranked fifth in the league, which is enough to show that their strength is among the best in the English Championship this season.

There is still a month to go before the League Cup final.

In this month, Shen Hao’s plan is to maintain the intensity of one match a week for your uncle team.

So we just finished the second round of the League Cup a few days ago, and today the rotation is relatively large.

This is great news for Derby County.

Derby County fans think so too.

Saw a truce between Redondo, Guardiola, Batistuta and Radebe.

They feel that it is not a dream to score all 3 points against the league leader today.

In order to warm up the tactics for the League Cup final, Leeds United will definitely still play defensive counterattacks in the away game.

The forward combination of Lennon and Joachim looks unreliable.

Midfielder Jamie Redknapp teaming up with Simeone is absolutely reassuring.

However, what surprised Shen Hao was that Derby County, who was playing at home, was more cautious than Leeds United after kick-off.

Sitting on the coaching bench, he glanced at George Burley, who was supervising the game on the sidelines. The other person seemed to be worried.

Maybe Shen Hao didn't notice it himself.

But now Leeds United is a terrifying existence in the eyes of the English Championship teams!

To beat Liverpool once can be said to be luck.

But double beating Liverpool at home and away?

This definitely cannot be explained by luck.

Coupled with Leeds United's unparalleled performance in the British Championship, other teams encountering them is like facing a evil star.

What Derby County fans want is to take all 3 points.

What George Burley is afraid of is being taken away by Leeds United for 3 points!

The game seemed to lack the passionate confrontation that the British Championship should have.

Leeds United had no chance to counterattack, and the positional battle was indescribable.

Lennon's form has declined.

This made Shen Hao realize something very important that was missing within Lennon.

Potential to potential.

High potential represents the upper limit of a player's ability.

But not every player with high potential can eventually become the protagonist of European football.

Lennon obviously does not have the temperament to consciously wear the halo of the protagonist in any environment.

He won’t be the most gorgeous flower on the stage.

Even if it realizes all its potential, it will only be the greenest leaf.

Discovering this would not cause any trouble to Shen Hao.

Looking at the football world, there are naturally flowers and green leaves on the top stage.

There is no need to expect a player to become a flower.

Moreover, this is only a preliminary understanding.

This can only be further confirmed or falsified based on his future performance.

After an uneventful first half.

George Burley is obviously under more pressure than Shen Hao.

Perhaps it was the calm 45 minutes that made Derby County fans restless.

This triggered an outpouring of dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

This sent a clear signal to George Burley: They need Derby County to be tougher and show enough aggressiveness and courage!

Leeds United are as fearful as a tiger at home.

This is so embarrassing.

A big taboo in football is to be timid before fighting.

So Derby County decisively changed their attitude in the second half of the game.

Set off an offensive storm in the active attack.

Leeds United were given the environment to counterattack.

Shen Hao looked at Leeds United's counterattacks and the threats they posed in the frontcourt were unsatisfactory.

Lennon and Michael Gray can indeed create a passing threat to set off counterattacks.

But Joakim's ability to seize opportunities is really worrying.

When the game just passed 60 minutes, Derby County scored through unremitting strong attacks.

Derby County fans were excited and cheered for their team's performance.

George Burley also jumped with excitement.

It was as if a goal had restored his confidence as a man.

Shen Hao did not hesitate and made a decisive substitution.

Batistuta appears.

Replaced Joakim.

The Derby County fans who had just been happy for a while suddenly became worried again, and they did not forget to greet the eighteenth generation of Shen Hao's ancestors in their hearts!

Derby County's overall condition has improved, and Leeds United's offensive battle has only average results.

As the game approached 75 minutes, Shen Hao replaced Guardiola again.

This time, Leeds United's positional warfare attack not only has a good reputation, but also has a double improvement in efficiency and quality.

Not long after the 80th minute, Jamie Redknapp's long shot from outside the penalty area hit the defensive player and bounced off the baseline.

Guardiola's corner kick flew into the penalty area. In the seemingly chaotic environment, Simeone caught the ball's landing point, jumped and flicked the ball into the goal!

George Burley looked dull.

At the same time, I was a little scared.

Decisive substitutions were made to strengthen defense.

Derby County fans are furious!

"Burley, you are so timid when riding a horse!"

"What are you afraid of? You won by 3 points, lost by 0 points, and now the draw is 1 point. Can't you do such a simple arithmetic problem?"

"I didn't expect you, Burley, to be a pure coward!"

"Okay, he was physically castrated by Shen Hao at Elland Road on the first day of the season."

Derby County strengthens its defense.

There was still time in the game, but Leeds United was surprised that Derby County suddenly lost their courage again.

Seeing Derby County like this, Shen Hao suddenly regretted removing Joakim.

Otherwise, the bombing of crosses from the wing at the last moment would give them an extra chance of winning.

There is not much time left for Leeds United to make a comeback.

Guardiola and Jamie Redknapp's repeated through balls eventually came to nothing.

The game is over.

Leeds United beat Derby County 1:1 away from home.

Retreat all over.

Regarding the results, Shen Hao could not be said to be satisfied, he could only say that he did not have any negative emotions.

The last league game in January.

Leeds United dispatched most of their main players to fight at Elland Road and defeated Brighton 3:1, solidifying their lead in the league standings.

The next night, Shen Hao met Bates again when he was gathering with his friends at the Elland Road bar.

Bates joins their game again.

"I'm surprised you didn't step George Burley into the sewer and let him know that messing with Leeds United was the stupidest thing he could do in his life, or at least that's what Leeds United fans would expect you to do."

"Not every Leeds fan expects me to be like you and I'm not interested in slaughtering ants."

Facing Bates' teasing, Shen Hao didn't take it to heart.

This old man who would be sued to court by the other party for swearing at the fan organization has never been restless.

"Then I'm curious why they call you, tyrant!"

Bates seemed to enjoy talking to Shen Hao like this.

Direct and brutal.

"I never care whether I am what others expect me to be. Today they can call me a tyrant, and tomorrow they may call me a wise master or a coward. I don't care."

Tang Jinyu and Chen Hao, who lost all their chips last time, were obviously much more cautious.

Therefore, the poker game continued until Shen Hao went back to rest and no one cleared the chips.

But when he said it was over, it was over.

Bates won again, not much, but a win.

Shen Hao also won.

As they walked out of the Elland Road pub, paparazzi photographed them smoking together.

There are already rumors that Bates will take a stake in Leeds United.

But Shen Hao didn't care about the rumors from the outside world.

It was not until representatives of the two major fan organizations, Warnock and Morel, expressed the same view to Shen Hao during the regular dialogue between the club and the fan organization.

"We don't like Chelsea people."

Morel got straight to the point with Shen Hao.

In the conference room, Shen Hao sat in the main seat and looked at the two people with interest.

He asked meaningfully: "Let's not say that Bates is technically a Londoner... Well, if you don't like him, do you mean you like me?"

Warnock looked a little embarrassed. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute it against his will.

The young man Morel was much more candid.

"At first we were waiting and watching to see how Leeds United would change under your leadership. Now, yes, the vast majority of us like you. You have brought stability to Leeds United and an impeccable record. We can raise our heads again."

Shen Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry about Bates, I know what he wants, but I won't give it to him. Maybe he doesn't like to leave the center of the stage and appear around me just to be in the pages of newspapers."

Warnock said to Shen Hao: "Dear Mr. Chairman, I have a proposal that I hope you can adopt."

Shen Hao didn't like others speaking to him in such a formal tone.

Generally speaking, when someone hears "Dear...", the following content will probably not make him feel respected.

He raised his hand, indicating to the other party to talk first.

"If you decide to sell your shares to Bates, I would expect that you will sell the shares you decide to sell to us and we will buy them at the same offer price."

Shen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. He stared at Warnock for a few seconds and then said, "You said you respect me, and then you questioned what I said just a moment ago. I said I won't give Bates anything he wants." thing."

Warnock was sweating slightly, he was obviously a year older than Shen Hao.

But during the conversation with Shen Hao, I felt invisible and huge pressure.

"Then why don't you just reject him?"

"You want to teach me what to do?"

Shen Hao asked in a calm tone.

Warnock waved his hands quickly and said eagerly: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, not at all. I take back what I just said, I'm sorry."

Shen Hao was silent for a moment and then asked: "What I'm more curious about your proposal just now is, who do you mean by 'we'? Anyone who wants to acquire shares in Leeds United will have to start with at least tens of millions of pounds."

Warnock was stunned.

"Ten million? Mr. Chairman, are you going to either not sell it or sell it all?"

Shen Hao laughed and said: "Selling shares for millions of pounds? Isn't that too disrespectful? And if you still regard Leeds United as a Championship-level club now, then we will talk about this topic in half a year. 1000 With 15 pounds, you can only buy [-]% of Leeds United’s shares at most now.”

Warnock was visibly shaken.

After a while, he recovered and smiled bitterly: "We were naive. The 'we' I said is our fans organization. Fleet Street reported on the company you represent, which inspired us. We don't need billionaires." , we only need each member to invest 1000 pounds, and we can have millions of pounds. If the per capita investment is more, the funds will be more."

Shen Hao understood.

It is not uncommon for fans organizations to take control of clubs.

But most of them happen in very low-level leagues.

Have Leeds United fans not thought about saving the team that once fell into the abyss?

Of course I thought about it.

But Leeds United had debts of more than £8000 million at the time.

They can only collect this huge sum of money unless they all go bankrupt.

But no one has really done this for the club.

After all, that is just repaying the debt, and it does not mean that Leeds United will take off from the same place.

The two representatives of the fan organization also discussed some daily chores with the club management, such as players going to the community to carry out welfare activities.

After the exchange meeting ended, Warnock was the first to leave.

Morel secretly asked Shen Hao: "I'm actually also curious about a guy like Bates. If you don't make a deal with him, do you want to be friends with him?"

Shen Hao still likes to spend more time with young people.

He smiled at Morel: "Everyone knows that Bates is a wolf looking for food, but doesn't this just mean that Leeds United has potential and rewards in his eyes? He is not a poverty alleviation philanthropist, right?"

Morel nodded in understanding.
