Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

"The ball has gone in! Jamie Redknapp made a flying tackle to open the scoring for White!"

"The situation was stalemate and stalemate. Chelsea's defense was tight and solid. Penetrating passes were needed to tear the defense apart. The Whites did it!"

"Triangle passing is the most common, but this wave of offensive Lennon started from the back pass. Redondo, Batistuta, and Guardiola made every pass in a small area. Guardiola's threatening ball delivery Plus the electric mouse Lennon’s lightning cut inside completely penetrated Chelsea’s defense!”

"When we all thought that Batistuta couldn't catch up with the goal, we didn't expect that Jamie Redknapp, who was at the back point, was the killer who saw the blood and seize the opportunity with a decisive tackle."

"Chelsea is tenacious, but Leeds United is more talented. At least this season, Leeds United created by Brother Hao is definitely a technically strong team in English football that is not inferior to Arsenal!"

"If we can take the lead before the end of the first half, will it still be a dream for Leeds United to win the championship?"

"Let's all tell Chelsea what to do now?"

In the live chat box, the same two words filled the screen like crazy.

pray!

Millennium Stadium.

After Jamie Redknapp scored, he got up and rushed to the sideline to roar passionately.

The long-lost highlight moment arrives again.

The person he wants to thank most now is his father.

Old Redknapp sent him to Leeds United as a favor, allowing him to undergo rebirth and return as a teenager!

And the one I want to thank is Shen Hao.

Very metaphysical.

Even if I don’t know what magic Shen Hao has.

But he believed that his return to the top today must be Shen Hao's masterpiece.

The Leeds fans would swarm over, hugging Jamie Redknapp and roaring towards the stands.

Shen Hao roared at the moment he scored, turned around, took two steps and leaped high into the air. Assistant coaches Feiningan and Parker caught him with surprise on their faces.

League Cup final.

Leeds United takes the lead!

Mourinho's expression changed and became extremely solemn.

He suddenly realized that he was terribly wrong.

It wasn't until the moment before Jamie Redknapp scored and Redondo assisted to the frontcourt that he realized that he had guessed completely wrong.

Leeds United's real back-up is not a long-range shot or a sudden attack from the wing.

But to maximize the technical advantages of the midfield!

Guardiola, Redondo, Jamie Redknapp, these players combine offensive creativity and penetrating threats.

Looking at the entire Premier League, which team can compare?

Maybe Liverpool can fight, after all, they have Alonso and Gerrard.

But apart from Lampard, Chelsea does not have a second midfielder with outstanding organizational skills and creativity.

Manchester United are in a similar situation. They rely on Scholes, and they rely more on high-frequency small coordination to penetrate local areas, rather than threatening the ball to tear apart the opponent's defense.

In other words, Chelsea has not experienced Leeds United's midfield impact with strong technical coordination and creativity in the Premier League.

Organizational ability cannot be directly reflected in the form of simple ball control.

Threat ball delivery is okay.

And what does it mean to have excellent organizational skills?

In the Premier League, Cesc Fabregas, who is under 18 years old, shocked England, and Barcelona accused Wenger of being a thief!

The 17-year-old Cesc Fabregas has become the main player at Arsenal. Has his ability reached its peak?

Of course not.

It will take another three years at the earliest, and it will also require a super-star embryo that is extremely talented and rarely seen in ancient times.

In the past ten years of European football, only a handful of players have reached the peak of their abilities at the age of 20.

Among the forwards, Ronaldo and Owen are typical, both winning the Ballon d'Or at a young age.

And the data and performance cannot be overstated as gorgeous.

But midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, basically none.

Because they need more experience.

This is inseparable from the player's responsibilities. The forward's responsibilities are relatively single, the midfielder has to take care of more, and the defender has to endure countless tests to become a master.

So you can imagine the impact that the 17-year-old Cesc Fabregas has brought, which is a "dimension-reducing blow" to English football with his excellent organizational skills!

If this were placed in Spanish football, Fabregas would be outstanding, but he would not necessarily cause excessive sensation.

Because Spanish football is absolutely ahead of English football at a technical level.

It is not surprising that Guardiola was dissatisfied with the high-intensity training when he first joined Leeds United.

He is here to help the poor through technology.

If you show your skills, you will definitely go sideways in the British Championship.

Why bother with his old bones?

why?

Because Shen Hao needs him to stand up in the Premier League.

Leeds United leads Chelsea 1:0.

Chelsea fans were stunned.

The visual impact brought by Leeds United's scoring process is extremely beautiful.

Accurate passing and clever coordination.

Mercury poured down the ground, all in one breath.

Is this the strength of a horse-riding British Championship team?

see the hell!

Mourinho felt a little heavy.

He knew things were bad.

There was not much time left in the first half.

Leeds United retreated.

Chelsea stepped up their attack slightly.

But it didn't show anything particularly powerful.

The two full-backs can only provide limited offensive support, but even a decent cross is a luxury.

Drogba is trapped in a fight.

There is the old tough guy Radebe in front of him, and the iron waist Simeone behind him.

If you want to give full play to the advantages of physical confrontation, there doesn't seem to be much room.

Before the end of the half, Joe Cole and Duff changed sides, and the former's long shot slipped past the goal.

A chill ran down Shen Hao's spine.

It was a false alarm.

What does more high-powered players mean?

It doesn't take much exquisite coordination, the probability of the players scoring goals themselves is not low.

It is also a simple play method. A team with a high average ability is definitely stronger than a team with a low average ability.

Halftime is over.

Leeds United fans collectively shouted to Chelsea fans in the stands.

"Have you prayed today?"

Shen Hao strode into the players tunnel.

Mourinho walked steadily, but looked obviously preoccupied in the camera.

What do teams that are good at counter-attacking fear most?

Throw the ball first!

As long as the ball is lost first, even if the counterattack environment will not disappear, the situation will definitely not be better than before the ball was lost.

And Leeds United's performance today made Mourinho very sure.

Leeds won't be fooled into giving them ideal space to counterattack.

Lennon didn't show his running ability, but what about Duff and Joe Cole?

There is no particularly eye-catching performance.

I don’t see anything about my own advantages and characteristics.

Back in the locker room, Shen Hao gave simple and clear instructions and adjustments.

Leeds United currently leads the score.

If the opponent is not of Chelsea's level.

He will be greedy because scoring more goals will ensure stability.

But as a weaker side, Leeds United should take advantage of the goal and adapt accordingly.

After adjusting the tactical posture and offensive and defensive investment, it is time to predict the opponent's substitutions and changes in playing style.

When the two teams returned to the field to change sides in the second half, Chelsea made substitutions directly at halftime.

Jarosik was replaced by Gudjohnsen.

This was something Shen Hao never thought of.

I thought Mourinho would seek stability and replace midfielder Thiago to improve Chelsea's midfield efficiency.

I didn't expect to directly withdraw the midfielder and forward.

It's clear Mourinho is starting to correct himself.

If he had anticipated the difficulty of today's final.

Perhaps the starting lineup will go directly to Thiago instead of Jarosik.

With Chelsea already lagging behind, Thiago's adjustments cannot be said to be ineffective, but Mourinho's assessment of the difficulty of scoring is more accurate!

Leeds United's defense is not that easy to break.

People have noticed that Leeds United is the best in the British Championship, and Batistuta's scorer list is also beyond the reach of all shooters in the British Championship.

In addition to the terrifying offensive firepower, it is easy to overlook that Leeds United is the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the British Championship.

After all, Shen Hao has never played against many top coaches.

It is a mistake to look at Mourinho through old eyes.

Mourinho will make mistakes before the game, largely because Chelsea just finished the Champions League in midweek, and Leeds United's strength has not been tested by enough high-level events from beginning to end.

People have a lower limit of their understanding of their strength positioning.

Definitely the strongest in the British Championship.

But where is the upper limit?

Only by actually fighting will you know.

Mourinho doesn't make consecutive mistakes.

At least not in today's contest.

Chelsea strengthened their forward attack.

However, the offensive threat in the middle of the midfield was instantly reduced.

In the first half, Lampard repeatedly moved forward and looked for opportunities to hit long shots.

The second half started with honest organization.

It's not that Makelele can't do it, it's that Makelele cannot withstand the strong pressure of Leeds United's many midfielders.

Once Leeds United has another offensive attack in which Redondo also assists in the frontcourt, Chelsea's defense will inevitably be in danger.

In the second half, Leeds United paid more attention to defense.

On counterattack, he hit Lennon on the right.

Midfield follow-up frequency decreases.

Joe Cole and Duff frequently changed sides and tried to deliver threatening balls into the penalty area.

Leeds United couldn't completely block them, but they didn't let Gudjohnsen and Drogba seize the opportunity.

The defensive pairing of Radebe and De Boer has to go through the test of their opponents' attacks almost every game in the British Championship.

Watching time pass by minute by second.

Mourinho's face became increasingly gloomy.

After 65 minutes of the game, he immediately made his second substitution.

Glen Johnson came on as a substitute for Joe Cole.

Strengthen crosses from the right wing.

This can also be regarded as giving up the offensive of penetration in the middle to a certain extent.

Concentrate your forces to attack from the side.

Shen Hao still stood still.

Mourinho has played two cards.

There is another card in hand.

Leeds United's defense began to show signs of danger.

Including Lampard, he would sometimes suddenly run to the wing and make a pass.

Drogba's header missed the outside of the goalpost and flew out of the baseline.

Chelsea fans held their heads and sighed.

Although Gudjohnsen did not touch the ball after his appearance, his interference with Leeds United's defense in the penalty area cannot be ignored.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Glen Johnson's cross from the right drew a large arc in the air.

Watching the football fall into the penalty area and close to the baseline.

Neither the two Chelsea forwards nor the two Leeds United center backs were able to touch the ball immediately.

Just when everyone thought the ball would hit the ground and pop out of the baseline, Duff cut in from behind and volleyed directly to the center of the penalty area.

Seeing that Gudjohnsen was expected to hit an empty goal, at the critical moment, Radebe subconsciously raised his leg to block the ball from the baseline.

Leeds United high-fived Radebe one after another.

Shen Hao took a deep breath.

Another thrilling near miss.

Mourinho seemed unmoved, but secretly he clenched his fists so hard that his nails were digging into his flesh.

Just after 75 minutes of the game, Mourinho made his third substitution.

Gallas was substituted.

Kežman appears.

Chelsea's formation has become extremely unbalanced.

It can be said to be 343, or it can be said to be 325!

Shen Hao knew it very well.

If Chelsea equalizes the score, then Glen Johnson will inevitably retreat.

Chelsea will try to return to a balance of offense and defense and a tactical posture that leans towards defense.

Mourinho's desperate substitution adjustments were learned from Bobby Robson, who had at least two classic battles in Barcelona that relied on the substitution of stacked offensive players to turn the tide.

This time is very critical.

Mourinho looked at the time.

Leeds United should enter a stage of decline in overall physical fitness.

He firmly believes that Chelsea's strong pressure at this time, at least in terms of strength comparison, will become increasingly disparate.

Just when Chelsea was brewing a desperate counterattack, Leeds United, which had never been a threat enough, suddenly launched a violent offensive in the 79th minute of the game and swept the frontcourt!

When Lennon pushed the counterattack into the frontcourt, it still looked normal.

But when Makelele went to snipe for the first time, Batistuta responded in the middle.

With only three defenders left, Chelsea's defense instantly exploded under pressure.

Guardiola, Redondo, Jamie Redknapp are at the gate!

Although Lampard's defense was in place, it failed to form an interception.

Guardiola and Redondo hit the wall and then made a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area.

Jamie Redknapp made a forward pass and broke through Paul Ferreira's side.

The opponent was originally a full-back, but after changing to three defenders, he did not move in completely enough.

This is a matter of player positioning.

Let the midfielder play forward, and there will definitely be big problems with the running routes and areas at critical moments.

When Jamie Redknapp broke into the left rib of the penalty area, Terry and Carvalho tightened the defense in the middle of the penalty area to flank Batistuta.

Lampard and Makelele guarded and restricted the connection between Redondo and Guardiola in the reverse triangle.

They are all following their defensive instincts.

But when Jamie Redknapp passed the ball, the football flew over the center of the goal and began to fall.

The entire audience saw that the areas in front and behind the door were completely empty!

When the football fell, Lennon volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal in front of him!

Mourinho almost wanted to applaud Leeds United on the sidelines.

Really awesome at riding a horse!

Shen Hao!

You are very good!

Batistuta was used as a feint from beginning to end.

It allows Batistuta to contain the defense and provide cover.

Based on this alone, looking at European football, how many head coaches can do it?

After scoring, Lennon ran to the sidelines with arms spread wide to enjoy the cheers from the Leeds United fans.

In this star-studded battle, Lennon's moment must be the highlight.

At the age of 17, he scored against Chelsea in the League Cup final.

Let everyone see his hope of becoming a god in the future!
