Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chelsea's victory in the Premier League set off a storm of public opinion that was met with mixed reviews.

People don't praise Chelsea as much as they praise Arsenal for winning the championship.

The big reason is that Chelsea's football is not pretty.

Instead, it formed the ultimate opposition.

Those who appreciate them can say that they are tenacious and iron-blooded, and have the ultimate counterattack storm in their playing style.

But in a 90-minute game, how many wonderful counterattacks can Chelsea make?

How long will it take to fight back?

Only about 10 seconds.

Generally speaking, it is most common for a strong team to beat a weak team and a weak team to counterattack.

However, Chelsea often plays against the weak in the Premier League. As the stronger side, they also defend against counterattacks.

Weak teams won't fall for it most of the time.

This makes the game extremely boring most of the time.

And Chelsea can endure loneliness, wear down the opponent to a certain extent, seize the opponent's flaws in both rhythm and state, and finally complete the fatal blow.

If you only watch the post-match highlights, their performance will win applause, their dazzling counterattacks and crisp goals.

But in fact, in the 90 minutes of the game, the excitement they showed did not match their strength.

So the bitter criticism surrounding Mourinho never went away.

His utilitarianism despaired those romantics who expected more and had better visions of football.

Of course, people who like Mourinho will yearn for his free and uninhibited style, his unique style, and his high-spirited attitude when winning.

As for direct confrontation, Leeds United will not give Chelsea enough space to counterattack.

This limits their speed advantage.

It is difficult for Chelsea's regular offense to show the effect of penetrating or crushing Leeds United's defense on the offensive end.

When Duff delivered a threatening ball into the penalty area from the left side of the frontcourt.

Drogba, who took the initiative to respond, controlled the ball and changed direction to break through Redondo from the outside. The latter turned in the opposite direction, with the fastest speed and the shortest route. Then his long legs landed in front of Drogba. The latter took off and dodged. Football was cleared off the line.

Chelsea attacked from a corner kick and saw that Terry was expected to header the ball. Davis headed the ball to clear the ball at the critical moment.

Lampard reorganized the attack from the outside and Chelsea players retreated when they should.

After receiving the ball from the right, Robben forced his way into the penalty area and then suddenly changed direction to cross, which made Shen Hao frown.

This Dutch Peter Pan is not only fast and skilled, but also has a unique style.

I thought he would follow the path of his predecessor Overmars.

But the impact of cutting in with his left foot on the right is obviously very rare in European football.

Because looking at the contemporary right-wing configuration of European giants and top teams.

It is almost impossible to find another right winger who is good at cutting inside with his back foot.

Even though Ronaldinho, who is currently the most popular player in European football, also plays on the wing, his responsibilities are closer to the midfielder. The reason why I say close is that he also has good breakthrough and finishing abilities.

When Robben shot across the penalty area, De Boer stretched out his kick to block the ball, causing the football to fly out of the sideline.

Shen Hao looked at Robben and then at Ribery.

His training of Ribery is actually a winger who can cut inside and shoot from the left.

It's just that in terms of route selection, Ribery goes deeper into the opponent's penalty area, so that he has the opportunity to shoot and has more passing options.

Robben is obviously more "independent".

For players, "independence" has never been a problem.

Why pass the ball when you can go straight to Huanglong?

But if you can't do it and insist on going your own way, that's a mistake.

Any role or position on the football field has only one core point, and weakness is the original sin.

Being strong enough is the way to go.

After Chelsea's wave of consecutive attacks, Leeds United regrouped. The attacking center goalkeeper Diego was supported by the little insect Lopez, and he simply cooperated on the right to penetrate Del Horno's defense zone.

But the following cross failed to create a threat.

Gallas headers the ball to clear the ball.

However, Jamie Redknapp and Davies prevented Lampard from controlling the ball in the counter-attack.

Leeds United launched a second attack on the spot.

When Ribery cut in from the left, in order to avoid Makelele's pressing, he touched the ball and accelerated along the inside track.

Encountering Terry as soon as he entered the penalty area, Ribery did not dare to drag the ball further. He spiked the ball to the left and took a step forward and immediately passed the ball across with his left foot.

Terry's center of gravity was shaken, and he was slow to return to the middle.

Claudio Lopez's diagonal pass from Franck Ribery made all Leeds United fans excited and eager to see what he would do next.

Claudio Lopez, who hit the ball diagonally behind Terry, no longer adjusted and shot directly.

The power of the football played with the left foot is not very strong, and the line is quite tricky.

But he faced the best goalkeeper in the Premier League last season, Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, who had zero shutouts in 24 games.

Cech made a flying save to block the near corner of the goal, blocked the ball in front of and behind the goal line, and then jumped to completely hug the football.

Leeds United fans are disappointed.

Every scoring opportunity they face against Chelsea makes their blood boil.

Even though they defeated Chelsea in the League Cup final last season, today it is clear that Leeds United needs to get a good start in the new Premier League season.

Mourinho looked solemn on the sidelines.

In the new season, Leeds United has obviously undergone more changes on the offensive end. In addition to the overall improvement of the team's capabilities, the activity of the midfield has become something that cannot be underestimated.

Jamie Redknapp and Davis may not be able to bring strong organizational creativity, but they are definitely good supporting players around the offensive core.

Mendieta's defensive performance is something Mourinho doesn't like.

But the problem is that Chelsea can't make a big fuss about him.

Unless Del Horno can give Duff more support.

And the midfield coverage and defensive blockade of Redknapp and Davis.

Definitely better than Chelsea's three midfielders today, Makelele, Lampard and Gudjohnsen!

Makelele habitually stays in front of the back line, almost never leaving.

Typical b2b for Lampard.

Gudjohnsen can play as an attacking midfielder or forward.

Lampard is the strongest in terms of coverage, but Leeds United's combination of Redknapp and Davies is stronger than Lampard's partner Gudjohnsen.

Chelsea's attack in the center was therefore restricted, and they could only attack from the wings.

Duff, who once surpassed Giggs in the Premier League, was in average condition today, and Robben was too lonely. As the game progressed, Leeds United got better.

Leeds United at least made it difficult for Chelsea to attack in frontal defense.

When Lampard blasted a long shot from the outside, Toldo played steadily and moved to catch the ball.

Then Robben dribbled in advance from the right side of the frontcourt and then fired a long shot.

The football crossed an inner arc and fell towards the far corner of the goal.

Shen Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself on the sidelines.

"It's crazy, isn't it?"

He was really worried that Robben's curve ball would create a world wave.

But the next second, Toldo made a flying save and saved the ball with one palm just as it was about to fly into the upper left corner of the goal!

All the Leeds United fans cheered wildly.

"San Toldo! San Toldo!"

"Phew! If Sullivan had scored this ball, he would probably have been able to watch it and sigh. Fortunately, our current goalkeeper is Toldo!"

"Chelsea can't come up with anything new offensively, but now they're shooting from long range to win the lottery!"

The disappointment in Mourinho's eyes flashed away.

Leeds United is indeed stronger than he expected.

When a team has made reinforcements in multiple positions and roles.

This sense of déjà vu as the team becomes stronger becomes even more visually impactful.

It's clear at a glance.

Chelsea were forced to rely on long-range shots to try their luck.

However, Leeds United played more teamwork in the frontcourt attack.

Mendieta showed his outstanding ability in organizational connection.

When the offense advances, he will dribble inside to contain Makelele, and then quickly make an offensive transition.

Jamie Redknapp or Davies transitions the ball to the left.

The impact of Ribery's dribbling and cutting in made Terry dare not relax at all.

Even though he failed twice in a row, when Ribery and Lopez cooperated to develop into the deep area, Terry was forced to make a key clearance in the penalty area defense, and even could only kick the ball out of the baseline.

After 35 minutes of the game, Leeds United almost formed a continuous bombardment in the frontcourt.

The defense in the midfield and backfield is even more convenient against Chelsea's winger attack, which has almost no efficient team cooperation.

The core is that Gudjohnsen is like wearing an invisibility cloak. He can't see any outstanding performance and has no sense of existence.

Redknapp and Davis received passes from Ribery and Mendieta and each fired high-quality long-range shots.

Cech resisted with a high pass to keep the goal open.

Before the end of the half, Candela assisted in the frontcourt and then sent a cross to the deep area of ​​​​the penalty area.

The fast Lopez rushed behind Galas and volleyed in the air!

Leeds United fans opened their eyes wide in shock and anticipation.

But just after Lopez had completed a difficult shooting action, Cech flew to save but blocked him in front.

Under the spotlight, Cech's hand just happened to touch the football. The football rushed to the wing and hit the goal post and bounced out!

All Leeds United fans in the audience held their heads and sighed.

Shen Hao couldn't help but turn around in a circle, and then looked at the Chelsea goal and felt a sense of loss.

Mourinho was terrified.

Leeds United's advantage in the midfield already made him feel troublesome, and the endless switching of offensive methods made him realize that this contest might really be very different from outside expectations.

What kind of newly promoted horse is this?

More like a regicide challenging the champion!

The half game came to an end.

Shen Hao turned and walked towards the players tunnel.

Mourinho followed with a sullen expression.

At the end of the first half, Leeds United set off an offensive frenzy that left the fans unsatisfied, and they regretted not being able to score.

Cech's performance impressed all Leeds United fans.

Similarly, Toldo also showed that his sword is still young in official games.

Even though this cannot be said that Inter Milan made a wrong choice in supporting Cesar, it at least gave Leeds United a big advantage.

Back in the locker room, Shen Hao made adjustments intensively. In view of Chelsea's performance, Shen Hao had no particularly good way to completely collapse the opponent's defense.

Chelsea, which is based on defense, aims to pursue impeccable performance.

Leeds United, on the other hand, is more of a one-man show.

On this basis, Leeds United's adjustments are also more inclined to further improve the defense.

It just requires more unconventional plays on the offensive end.

Traditional technical and tactical play and coordination are basically difficult to make holes in Chelsea's defense.

Because in the past season, Chelsea's defense has withstood the tests of Premier League teams.

Leeds United can only try to take the wrong side as much as possible in order to achieve unexpected results.

In the second half, they returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.

Shen Hao suddenly discovered that Chelsea had made substitutions.

Wright-Phillips replaces Robben.

Robben's deep attack from the wing was insufficient in the first half. Although the inward shot was bright, the sparkle was not sustainable enough. At the same time, Drogba was not able to get enough support to a certain extent.

Joe Cole replaced Gudjohnsen, who was invisible in the first half.

This substitution does not exceed expectations.

If it were Shen Hao, he would probably replace Gudjohnsen.

But Lennon, who was sitting on the Chelsea bench, looked a little lonely.

After he joined Chelsea... it was a disaster.

Frequent mistakes were made in the warm-up matches, and their own characteristics did not perform to the expected level.

Even he himself was a little confused.

He felt that his own strength seemed to be beyond his capabilities.

His body and skills couldn't keep up with his own mind.

It's like the mind is in Two-dimensional, but the body is in cruel reality.

Fleet Street is also questioning whether the £2000 million was taken advantage of by Chelsea.

No one knows that Lennon's ability has gone from peaking at over 160 when he left Leeds United to now reaching 140.

His potential hasn't changed much.

But the decline in strength made him uncomfortable at first.

The performance certainly fell short of expectations.

But he is only 18 years old after all.

As long as he can regroup and work hard to improve his abilities, there will definitely be no problem in returning to an ability exceeding 160 within three years.

After all, he was just walking the same path again.

Shen Hao believes that players are similar to fitness in this aspect. As long as they have muscle memory, they can get twice the result with half the effort.

It depends on whether he can withstand the gap caused by the impact of reality.

Mourinho would be forgiven for not using him at this time.

Chelsea's two substitutions allowed Shen Hao to see more.

The most important point is that although Mourinho attaches great importance to Leeds United in his attitude.

In actual practice, there is actually some overestimation.

This is probably the temperament a defending champion should have.

After using up two substitution places, the room for further adjustments is extremely limited.

In other words.

Mourinho took the lead.

Now the opportunity to take the back phone belongs entirely to Shen Hao.

The second half of the game started.

After the substitution, Chelsea had some changes in the midfield attack.

Joe Cole, who plays as an attacking midfielder, and Lampard's organized coordination in front and back makes the offensive organization smooth.

At least Chelsea can continue to deliver shells to both wings of the frontcourt.

Wright-Phillips and Duff took turns trying to pass.

Drogba ran back and forth in the penalty area looking for opportunities.

In the 53rd minute, Drogba's header into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area was brilliantly resolved by Toldo's flying save.

The entire Leeds United fans cheered with relief.

Leeds United's frontcourt offense was a bit stretched.

Chelsea's midfield adjustments must have also made targeted adjustments in defense.

Mendieta was taken care of by Makelele, and his organizational performance declined significantly.

The ball was intercepted twice in 10 minutes, resulting in Leeds United's offense showing no threat.

Jamie Redknapp tried to deliver a threatening ball directly in the middle, but Terry intercepted the ball.

The game has just passed 60 minutes.

Shen Hao began to adjust.

Mourinho looked at the two players preparing to appear on the sidelines and felt a little nervous in an instant.

Rivaldo and Guardiola are ready to appear.

Leeds United fans are full of expectations.

Last season's midfield playmaker and this season's most important forward signing, Mr. Golden Ball, appear together!

Baiyi, draw your sword!
