Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Midweek in late September.

Leeds United compete in the League Cup.

Mendieta once again started to lead the front line.

Partnering Batistuta and Michael Gray.

Mendieta now feels a bit awkward in his position at Leeds United.

If there is no Rivaldo, he is the absolute main force and may be the core of the offensive system.

But he was overpowered by Rivaldo.

In the early days of Leeds United's era of tyrants, when the team was cleaning up and recruiting players and changing the lineup, Shen Hao definitely wanted as many players as he could meet his requirements.

As for issues such as overlapping positions and conflicting roles, it depends on his ability to formulate different technical and tactical systems and strategize.

The outside world will complain about Mendieta, but always ignores the existence of Rivaldo.

This kind of neglect is unreasonable.

Over and over again, there is only one question: Why can't Mendieta start in the starting lineup if he is so good?

It seems that Shen Hao's failure to try to let Mendieta and Rivaldo coexist has become his original sin.

But within Leeds United, there is no such problem.

Maybe it's because Shen Hao's authority is unquestionable.

Maybe it's because the other players aren't nosy.

It may also be a very realistic consideration: If Mendieta and Rivaldo are to coexist in a technical and tactical system, who will be sacrificed?

Jamie Redknapp?Or Claudio Lopez?

No one in this group of old gangsters would go to war for Mendieta.

It is neither necessary nor necessarily correct.

Mendieta is now like an erupting volcano.

After recovering from a serious injury, his condition is getting better and better. His situation at Leeds United has suppressed his fighting spirit to a certain extent.

When he becomes the starter and appears on the field, no matter who the opponent is, he is working hard to prove how good he is!

Leeds United vs Bournemouth.

Super low level.

Bournemouth's tenacity prevented Leeds United from attacking for a long time. Mendieta broke the deadlock for Leeds United with a powerful shot from the top right side of the penalty area at the critical moment.

At the last moment, Batistuta scored in the penalty area to seal the victory.

Leeds United successfully advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

After all, they are also the defending champions. Although the local cup is not their main focus this year, they still have to show their attitude.

Moreover, the thickness of the lineup has improved compared to last season.

The small villa that Shen Hao gave to Bai Muxin is still under renovation. She will go there to check on the progress in her free time. She will also spend her own money to buy some soft furnishings, trying to make this harbor, which she regards as her love nest, both refined and warm.

Ahead of the sixth round of the Premier League this weekend.

Everton coach David Moyes spoke at the pre-match press conference.

Will face Leeds United at home.

Moyes said: "Leeds United performed well. As a newly promoted team, it is impressive that they have won five consecutive games and lead the table, but if they want to compete for the championship, I don't think it is possible.

Within a month at the earliest and before Christmas at the latest, Leeds United will definitely give up the top spot, and they may achieve good results in their first season back in the Premier League.

But competing for the title?

They don't understand how cruel and intense it is. "

Moyes' remarks made Leeds United fans laugh.

Especially shareholders in white.

They mocked Moyes unscrupulously in the headquarters group.

"It sounds like he knows how to compete for the championship..."

"Everton? You're laughing so hard. Although they finished fourth in the Premier League last season, they were double beaten by Valencia in the Champions League qualifying rounds this season and didn't even make it into the main match. What qualifications does Moyes have to talk nonsense here?"

"Perhaps finishing fourth in the Premier League gave Moyes the illusion that his team should be in contention for the title."

"The Champions League qualifying round was pushed to the Europa League, and the first round of the Europa League was defeated 1:5 by a lowly team. Being eliminated is a foregone conclusion. Moyes is really big-hearted. Is he still in the mood to care about Leeds United at this time?"

"Haha, yes, yes, Moyes is right. He only scored 5 points in 3 rounds, with 1 win and 4 losses. What a genius!"

Shen Hao was slapped in the face by reporters at the pre-match press conference with Moyes' remarks.

He didn't get angry.

Totally unnecessary.

He said calmly: "Whether Moyes or anyone else, they are all qualified to evaluate Leeds United, because they are the audience, just like when we walk into the cinema, we watch the performance of the protagonist of the movie, whether it is Praise or criticize, as an audience, of course you have the right to do so.

Just like now, if I comment on whether Everton can avoid relegation, I have the right to do so, because I am also a spectator, and Leeds United did not participate in the relegation team. "

Fleet Street naturally understood the irony in Shen Hao's words.

the following afternoon.

Leeds United come to Liverpool.

The two places are very close to each other, just over an hour's drive away.

When Shen Hao stepped into Goodison Park, Everton fans booed and insulted him.

Loud.

On the front page of today's Fleet Street preview of the game, Shen Hao undoubtedly made the headlines.

"Leeds Tyrant: Everton watches Leeds United compete for the title, and Leeds United watches Everton avoid relegation!"

Fourth place in the Premier League did well last season.

But Everton, who have plunged into the relegation zone this season, are really having a hard time, which makes their fans feel bitter.

I thought I could play in the Champions League, but I failed in the qualifying round.

After being relegated to the Europa League, the league situation became urgent and they did not dare to fight on multiple fronts, so they simply chose to give up.

A 1:5 defeat at home to Dynamo Bucharest, what is it if not a shame?

Moyes’s comments about Leeds United may be more in line with public psychology.

Leeds United is at the top of the list for a while and cannot always lead the Premier League.

He stated what most people thought.

But he didn't consider how Shen Hao would fight back.

Now he has become the target of ridicule from the outside world, looking like a clown.

He watched Shen Hao enter with an unkind look on his face. The Scottish coach's inherent arrogance naturally made him somewhat contemptuous of Shen Hao.

He has the same view as many others.

It's just that most Premier League teams underestimated Leeds United, which allowed Leeds United to win five consecutive games.

But seeing Leeds United's starting lineup, when the owners of those famous names actually stood on the Goodison Park pitch in white, no Evertonian could face it easily.

Everton has a good lineup, which is above mid-table in the Premier League.

Last season's results really reflected Moyes' coaching ability.

But this disastrous start to the season is also a reflection of Moyes's lack of ability.

The inability to take into account multi-front operations and the ability to control the overall situation are still shortcomings.

After the game started, due to the pressure of performance.

Everton played very proactively and in a wide-ranging style.

However, when it comes to the frontcourt, it is still the traditional British wing play.

Crazy kick to pass.

He is also extremely aggressive in confrontations on the court and fights for every inch of ground.

Leeds United's defense of Simeone in the middle showed great strength and repeatedly gained the upper hand in confrontations. Kelly's defense of the wing also highlighted the characteristics of excellent defense.

Kelly's assists have always been insufficient. Fortunately, Leeds United's offensive individual ability on the right has been extremely strong for two consecutive years.

Lennon was fully cultivated by Shen Hao last season.

This season, there is Rivaldo, whose ability is steadily improving and heading towards the top after getting rid of the negative impact of injuries.

Therefore, the right frontcourt can function independently without support.

And Candela on the left became more and more courageous as the competition period passed the initial adaptation period.

Everton's crosses from the wing are frequent.

But the quality is terrible.

Leeds United's frontcourt offense frequently made Shen Hao grit his teeth and clench his fists, and the fans beat their chests and feet.

Lopez and Ribery missed opportunities one after another.

Opportunities can be created, but under the restrictions of the defensive triangle of Yabo, Will, and Phil Neville, it is difficult for great opportunities to appear.

When the stalemate of the game lasted until the 70th minute, Leeds United's offensive from the left frontcourt suddenly chose to shift the offensive after going deep into the hinterland of the dangerous area.

Franck Ribery wisely passed the ball back, and Jamie Redknapp diverted the ball back to Guardiola, who had just come on as a substitute, who sent in a precise diagonal pass.

Rivaldo cut inside to the right side of the penalty area, stopped and took a step on the penalty area line, and then suddenly stopped and changed direction to cross.

He cut his way out of Phil Neville and Will's flanks, and swung his leg to fake a shot, forcing Yabo to surrender his defensive focus.

He dropped his left foot but changed the direction of the ball and continued to move towards the left side of the center of the penalty area.

After the breakthrough, almost single-handedly, Rivaldo suddenly started to volley.

The football flew to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Cut the line!

Everton goalkeeper Neil Martin made a flying save but could only watch the ball and sigh!

"Rivaldo! He's getting stronger and stronger!"

"Everton, keep fighting for relegation!"

"Be gentle and don't knock Moyes out of class."

Shen Hao also felt aggrieved for a long time.

The main thing is to gain the upper hand and not score.

After so much accumulation of disappointment, I was finally able to vent my passion.

He raised his fists in the air and couldn't help laughing.

Rivaldo enjoyed the cheers from Leeds United fans in front of the visiting team's stands.

As long as he scores goals in the league.

Basically, the MVP of the game voted by white shareholders after the game belongs to him.

There is an additional £[-] bonus available.

This made Rivaldo, of course, very fond of Leeds United, and he worked hard here wearing white clothes.

And the more capable players feel about themselves at Leeds United, the deeper they feel.

It's as if he has an indescribable and mysterious bond with Leeds United.

Aware of this, Rivaldo became even more determined.

Everton fans looked as if they were mourning for their heirs.

Winter has not yet arrived, but their hearts seem to have fallen into an icy abyss, and a biting chill has swept through their bodies.

"You can't...really have to fight for relegation every season, right?"

"Fuck, we were supposed to play in the Champions League group stage at this time, to compete with the European giants, but now the Champions League is gone, the European war has also declined, and now the league rankings may be at the bottom after this round!"

"Moyes, you are so good at riding a horse! Damn Fuck!"

Moyes is embarrassed.

Regardless of whether Leeds United can secure top spot.

At least his team might be on the verge of becoming league vice president.

Dispatch troops and generals.

Try to fight back.

He substitutes.

Shen Hao also changed.

Lopez exits.

Leeds United have added another midfielder, Seth Johnson.

Evolution 442.

The main focus is to prevent counterattacks.

While Everton went all out for an equalizer, Leeds had better attacking space.

Just after the 80th minute of the game, Franck Ribery burst forward alone from the left, and his quick and flexible breakthrough directly penetrated Everton's wing defense zone.

After reaching the inside, he finally sent a mid-range cross.

The ball goes around the back of two Everton defenders.

Rivaldo, who followed up and cut in from the far point, didn't need to stop the ball at all. He met the ball and shot directly with his left foot.

The football drew a pleasing arc and fell into the upper left corner of the goal!

Another city.

A brace!

Moyes' legs almost gave out and he knelt down!

Six league rounds, only three points!

How can I meet people?

Leeds United fans cheered and celebrated and then shouted to Moyes in unison.

"Moyes, what else do you want to say? Say it louder!"

Everton fans have been collectively silent.

Therefore, Leeds United fans became the most active protagonists at Goodison Park.

Shen Hao used up the last substitution spot.

Kilgallon replaced Redondo.

Leeds United ended smoothly.

Everton's military morale has obviously hit rock bottom.

No hero can stand up and turn the tide.

There is no team momentum to rebuild Shanhe.

When the final whistle blew, some extremists among Everton fans couldn't help but curse Moyes.

Shen Hao walked towards Moyes and shook hands with the opponent generously after the game.

Moyes didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.

Arriving at the mixed area of ​​the player tunnel, Shen Hao faced reporters with his thoughts on defeating Everton away from home.

Shen Hao said of course: "Judging from the standings, we defeated a relegation team. There is nothing to be proud of, but Rivaldo's performance in the game made me have to praise him. He gave a phenomenal performance today." And performance, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he wins the Ballon d'Or again."

For a self-discipline monster like Rivaldo.

Shen Hao is not worried that excessive praise will make him lost.

Rivaldo had an eccentric side to his character.

But based on his strength, he deserves the team's best efforts to play with him as the core.

At this point, Shen Hao did not hesitate to give him the greatest support within the scope of his responsibilities as head coach.

Moyes was forced into a corner by Fleet Street after the game: Will he take the blame and resign?

Moyes walked away without giving a direct answer.

Reality played a big joke on him.

Last season, he led the team to achieve the highest ranking in Everton's Premier League history.

The glorious battle that people longed for in the Champions League has never come. Now in the new season, the Premier League has 1 win and 5 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the league.

Well, bottom of the league is Sunderland.

Winning is hard to come by.

After the game, Shen Hao added insult to injury seriously, as if he was convinced that Everton was the relegation team.

Fleet Street could not help but sigh with surprise.

"Everton won't really be relegated by Moyes, right?"

...

Leeds United took a four-day break, and then Shen Hao led his team to Greece to challenge Xanthi as a guest.

Leeds United entered this game lightly.

Mass rotation.

The first round established a 5:0 lead.

No matter how you look at it, the second round is just a formality.

However, Mendieta's starting lineup made Leeds United's bench still full of strong combat effectiveness.

Xanthi played freely against Leeds United at home.

In the end, Leeds United defeated their opponents 3:2 away from home to complete a double play.

The total score was 8:2 and they advanced to the Europa League group stage.
