Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Return to Leeds to rest for a few days.

Leeds United will usher in the last two warm-up games for summer preparations in early August.

When signing Rivaldo and Toldo, in order to express sincerity, Leeds United included additional clauses to invite opponents to play friendly matches.

Give your opponent 50% of the ticket share.

Olympiacos came gladly.

Inter Milan is not interested in this ticket share.

Just to warm up.

In the new season, they will play in the Champions League qualifying rounds, and finding a Premier League team to warm up can also help them get into shape earlier.

After all, Premier League teams have high intensity and fast pace.

At the beginning of August, Leeds United took the lead in hosting Inter Milan.

Inter Milan will play in the Champions League qualifiers on August 8th. This will be their last warm-up match in preparation for the summer.

The local Leeds United fans were so enthusiastic that the Elland Road stadium was filled to capacity.

Italian coach Mancini was not interested in Shen Hao and just nodded and said hello, but he had a pleasant conversation with Claudio Lopez and the two even hugged on the sidelines.

The camera focused on Shen Hao at the next moment, as if to convey a voice-over that his players were closer to other coaches.

Shen Hao was not reassured.

Inter Milan's lineup is indeed very high-level.

Goalkeeper Cesar.

The back line consists of Zanetti, Materazzi, Cordoba and Favalli.

The midfielder includes Cambiasso, Solari, Stankovic and Veron.

On the front line, Adriano partners with Martins.

The general framework of Leeds United's formation continues the idea of ​​​​the Asian tour.

Ribery, Batistuta, and Mendieta formed the starting striker.

Jamie Redknapp, Simeone and Davies form a midfield three.

Candela, DeBoer, Redondo and Kelly form the back line.

Toldo guards the goal.

Leeds United fans put on their new jerseys for the season and came to Elland Road to watch the game with great interest.

They are both proud and looking forward to the new season.

Leeds United has a brand new lineup, and they don't know how the team will perform in the Premier League.

As for the fact that Leeds United scored more than 40 goals in three warm-up matches during their Asian trip, they didn't care at all.

Just assume that the team is really serious about warming up.

Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench and watched the game.

Manic also did not stand up to take command.

Warm-up match?

Examine the status of your own players, see how the new players work with the team, identify problems, and solve them.

Winning or losing is really not the first priority.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Leeds United, who are sitting at home, are very active.

Since it is a friendly match, the defensive actions and confrontation must not be overdone.

After all, every high-intensity confrontation also involves the risk of injury.

However, Leeds United still obviously started the overall rhythm faster. Inter Milan, as an Italian giant, also has the tactical style of Italian football, which is conservative, pragmatic, and advocates counterattacks and fast breaks.

Leeds United did not win the Championship entirely by relying on counterattacks.

But they will definitely fight.

Today's techniques and tactics are more about balance.

Davis seems to have a normal relationship with Inter Milan.

The coverage of the midfield run after the opening kickoff was outstanding.

Leeds United's two wings are getting better and better.

Ribery was continuously taught by Zanetti when attacking from the left.

The French wing obviously needs to accumulate more experience and improve his strength.

Mendieta, on the other hand, was surprisingly active on the right.

Mendieta's performance during the Asian tour at least left a deep impression on Chinese and Singaporean fans.

From their understanding, the former best midfielder in Spain should have returned to the peak strength of his heyday.

However, no team in European football currently thinks so.

Inter Milan entered the game slowly, perhaps because of the friendly match.

It may also be related to playing as a guest.

When Mendieta cut in from the right and formed a collision with Jamie Redknapp, he then sent a wonderful through ball next to Cambiasso.

Batistuta's first touch of the ball in the game was to cross into the space behind Materazzi, half-turn to meet the ball and whip the ball hard towards the far corner of the goal.

Inter Milan's main goalkeeper in the new season, Cesar, flew to the extreme to save, but was beyond his reach.

The football flies into the far corner of the goal.

Simply neat.

The game has only started for 7 minutes!

Shen Hao nodded slightly.

Regardless of the team's attitude or the progress of the new players' running-in this summer, they have at least met the expected requirements.

Mancini frowned slightly.

There is actually nothing particularly outstanding about Leeds United's style of play.

But the players are very strong.

Mendieta has strong organizational skills, and his passing delivers threatening balls.

Batistuta has superb shooting skills and plays the role of terminator.

Players like Jamie Redknapp and Edgar Davis both have b2b capabilities, so they completed high-intensity coverage in the midfield.

A tangle formed between Veron and Stankovic.

Leeds United's tactical system has a clear division of labor and each performs its own duties.

In just a few minutes, no one could be seen who might become an unexpected attack point.

But as far as basic skills are concerned.

They did a great job.

Inter Milan conceded the ball.

The ideological awareness is instantly full.

The game scene started to come and go.

Inter Milan's wing attack is slightly inferior.

Although Zanetti was very successful in defending Ribery on the right, he was unable to help defend, and the offense was also afraid of being beaten and unable to return to position immediately.

Favalli is old, and facing Mendieta is defensive first.

Therefore, it is difficult for Inter Milan to form support for the striker on the left.

However, Inter Milan's forward has strong personal abilities.

Martins and Adriano are both forwards with physical confrontation and speed.

Adriano's singles ability is even better.

His burly and majestic body repeatedly created ferocious collisions after personal breakthroughs in the frontcourt.

Leeds United did not want to turn the game into a brutal British confrontation.

But facing Adriano, a physical monster, you need speed and speed, confrontation and confrontation, and flexibility is not necessarily strong, but it is definitely enough.

The key is that he also has the skills a Brazilian forward should have at his feet.

Redknapp and Adriano have no ability to compete at all, and they are not on the same level.

Davis can keep up, but can't hold him back!

So Simeone could only step in and pull and make some small moves, so that Adriano could not make trouble in the frontcourt.

Inter Milan didn't cooperate much on the offensive end, at least this kept Leeds United from having any big trouble defending.

As the game approached 30 minutes, Ribery still showed little improvement.

So much so that after Candela assists to the frontcourt, he tries his best to pass the ball to the center or directly kick the ball.

Even if the ball is sent to the deep area of ​​​​the wing to the running Ribery, the latter will probably not be an opponent against Zanetti who moves quickly and shows no signs of losing his position.

On the contrary, it will make the ball control environment worse and there will be fewer options.

However, Leeds United played vigorously on the right, and Mendieta repeatedly delivered threatening balls.

After Cordoba and Materazzi strengthened their defense against Batistuta, the space for the old God of War to play was obviously not ideal.

But this time Mendieta dribbled inward to contain Solari and then decisively passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.

Jamie Redknapp moved forward to respond to the ball and deflected it past Cambiasso before sending a through ball.

Batistuta's advance made Cordoba and Materazzi subconsciously retreat together.

What they didn't expect was that Mendieta met Jamie Redknapp's through ball while cutting inside.

Mendieta smashed the ball with his right foot and adjusted one step across, then volleyed with his left foot.

The football flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal without any spin.

Cesar's save was powerless!

Elland Road was filled with cheers.

Leeds United fans were extremely surprised.

But it also felt very incredible.

"Is that Mendieta? That Mendieta that Middlesbrough gave us for free?"

"Haha, although it can't be explained, I'm sure that if Mendieta had stayed in Middlesbrough, he would be a waste now, but it will be different when he comes to Elland Road."

"The changes in the players make me suspect that Shen indeed has magical powers beyond imagination."

"Whatever, if Mendieta can return to his former peak, that's the best news for us."

Mancini felt a little uncomfortable.

The giants come to play against the newly promoted Premier League teams.

Although it is a friendly match.

Although it's an away game.

But... Inter Milan conceded two goals in a row, which can't be justified.

He had to go to the sidelines to signal to the team and ask the team to cheer up.

Inter Milan really quickly showed a stronger performance.

Two goals behind, I can’t lose face!

The midfield is more dynamic.

At least in the middle of the park, Inter Milan actually have more people than Leeds.

Moreover, coupled with Zanetti's wing support, Inter Milan did not launch a mercury-filled offensive in the frontcourt.

But as long as the offense advanced to the dangerous area, Adriano did not choose to go straight to Huanglong, but created a good long-range shot opportunity for Stankovic.

When Stankovic's powerful shot from the right side of the top of the penalty area sent a world wave, and the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal, Toldo was a little stunned.

He didn't pounce.

The sound of a football hitting the crossbar truly rang the countdown to the new season for him.

In the first three warm-up games, he made less than 10 saves combined.

It's like going to Asia for training but without actual combat.

Shen Hao was not angry about losing the ball.

On the contrary, I think this is pretty good.

If Inter Milan doesn't put some pressure on Leeds United.

Leeds United will probably start the new Premier League season with an extremely relaxed mentality.

After the start of the second half of the game, Zanetti assisted to the frontcourt to receive Veron's pass, and sent a beautiful cross from the right.

Although Martins missed the first point, Adriano volleyed the ball into the goal with a volley in the middle of the penalty area.

Redondo failed to guard Adriano at the critical moment.

Shen Hao looked at Adriano and sighed in his heart: What a perfect center.

Adriano currently has an ability of 170 and a potential of 184.

If he can reach the top, I am afraid that in the next ten years, when the contemporary superstar centers come down, he will stand proudly at the top of the center.

The score was equalized.

Leeds United also got angry.

The intense and fast-paced competition gradually made the audience's blood rush.

The players continue to improve their condition, and more and more exciting scenes are presented to them.

When Ribery gave up playing on the wing and turned inside to create a threat, Shen Hao saw his positive adjustment under pressure.

Batistuta and Mendieta teamed up to create a threat that was resolved by Cesar.

Martins and Veron's shots also allowed Toldo to make consecutive excellent saves.

When the game approached 60 minutes, Leeds United made a substitution.

Rivaldo, Claudio Lopez and Guardiola appeared.

Leeds United's offensive style has changed after the substitution, but the intensity is still full, even stronger!

Rivaldo's cut in from the right caused frequent cheers from Leeds United fans.

As the 70th minute approached, Rivaldo dribbled in and cut to the right side of the top of the penalty area and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Claudio Lopez seemed to move too quickly in the middle of the penalty area and the football rolled past him.

He braked suddenly and turned around, obviously his chance was gone.

But Materazzi almost broke his waist!

Because the ball was not passed to Lopez, but to Ribery.

Ribery cut inside and reached the left rib of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he changed direction and made a cross cut. After adjusting, he immediately started to shoot.

The football was deflected by him and shot towards the far corner of the goal.

Cesar made a flying save and once again announced that the city gate was lost.

Leeds United fans couldn't be more excited.

The score was ahead again.

They seemed to be on par with Inter Milan.

Five minutes later, Kilgallon and Baines came on the scene to replace Candela and Redondo.

There was a substitution here, and Adriano ran away directly in the frontcourt.

He single-handedly withstood the attack from Jamie Redknapp and Baines, and went to the penalty area before smashing the ball and changing direction to complete the escape.

Just when Kilgallon was defending, Adriano changed direction and broke through.

When the two collided, Kilgarron lost his balance and fell to the ground.

As he fell to the ground, he was fully aware of the gap between a rookie center back and a top forward.

Adriano chose to push the ball into the near corner of the goal in a semi-single shot.

There was nothing Toldo could do.

Leeds United fans were shocked.

This majestic Brazilian center really rides like a tank!

Mancini also made a substitution here.

Just as everyone thought the game would end with 3:3.

With only 3 minutes left in regular time, Claudio Lopez received the ball in front of the penalty area, turned around and forced a volley, but Cordoba blocked it.

Everyone's attention turned, and they saw Guardiola taking the ball in the frontcourt first, and then sent a direct pass without any delay.

Rivaldo made an inside cut and moved the ball inside slightly before the penalty area line. Cordoba's defensive focus tilted towards the center. Rivaldo then spiked the ball and changed direction to hit the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

When Cordoba turned back to put down a tackle to intercept, Rivaldo stopped and pulled the ball and changed direction to complete the dodge.

Cambiasso rushed to the penalty area urgently and rushed towards Rivaldo's cross path. The latter passed the ball across the middle first.

Materazzi blocked Claudio Lopez's shooting path, but Lopez used his outside instep to block the ball to the side and behind.

Materazzi looked to the side and ahead, and what came into view was Rivaldo!

After the ball was released, Rivaldo, who crossed behind Cambiasso, completed his adjustment in advance when he touched the ball again and shot the ball.

The football blasted from the instep went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Cesar stood motionless in front of the door.

Too late!

After Rivaldo scored, he ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and the Elland Road stadium was filled with excitement.

Leeds United fans looked at Rivaldo with surprise.

Cheer for him, cheer for him!

The new season in white is even more exciting.

"The current Whites don't look like an English team at all."

"Nonsense, look how many English players are there in white?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, as long as we can win!"
