Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 224: Attract firepower, kill people and kill people’s hearts!

Portsmouth's record has soared this season. In addition to Redknapp's improvement of the team's strength, of course, the addition of Sol Campbell, England's top central defender, has improved the quality of defense.

Portsmouth, which barely avoided relegation last season, now ranks sixth in the Premier League in defensive data!

Leeds United will be more patient when facing such an opponent at home.

Shen Hao supervised the battle from the sidelines, and Leeds United maintained an attacking attitude.

Rui Costa and Jamie Redknapp were responsible for organizing the offense in the midfield, with repeated attacks from the left wing.

The wing combination of Ribery and Candela can be said to be in sync with each other, and the upper limit of impact intensity is determined by Ribery's state.

And Ribery has not caused any trouble in more than a year and a half since he joined the team.

He is a player who is focused on his career.

Shen Hao's expectations for him are still relatively high.

However, there is still a big difference in the technical and tactical play of the game situation Leeds United is facing now.

There are many tough battles like this.

Leeds United will use Franck Ribery as the spearhead, trying to open up the opponent's defense from the wings, and then create opportunities for the center forward and the winger on the other side.

But if Leeds United is in a neck-and-neck offensive battle with its opponents, then Ribery will definitely not be the vanguard, he will be the back-up man, and Ronaldo will be the vanguard!

In the confrontation scene, the center will have more room to move and perform.

If Leeds United is playing counter-attack, then it must be adaptable to see who has better chances, Ribery or Ronaldo, and create each other.

In general, Leeds United's offensive focus has shifted this season.

Last season, Rivaldore was the top player.

This season, due to the arrival of Ronaldo, position C has changed hands.

Besides, Rivaldo will turn 2 in two and a half months, so he may not be able to do anything anymore.

Ribery and Candela made repeated attacks from the left, and Portsmouth's defense frequently assisted in defense, eventually forming an obvious tilt in the defense.

It wasn't until the first half of the game entered injury time that Ribery's backpass in front of the baseline allowed Rui Costa to send a wonderful pass through Portsmouth's defense.

Rivaldo outflanked the right rib of the penalty area, stopped the ball, kicked back and passed the defensive player, then took off and shot again!

David James made a flying save and although he touched the football, he failed to save the ball.

"Rivaldo's contribution! Finally here!"

"The advantage of Portsmouth is that they are pragmatic. They are conscientiously tightening the fence and it really makes it very difficult for us to overcome difficulties."

"After all, it's a defensive line with Campbell at the helm."

"Just imagine, if Arsenal played defensive counterattack when Campbell was there, how powerful would it be? It's a pity that Wenger can't bear to defend counterattack anymore."

Shen Hao clapped his hands and applauded.

Secretly relieved.

Old Redknapp's expression showed a bit of helplessness.

It's not that Portsmouth can't do it, but Leeds United's offense is too fierce.

Halftime is over.

Players from both teams return to the locker room.

Shen Hao also walked into the players tunnel.

Old Redknapp looked at Shen Hao's back from behind and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

Of course he still remembered that he owed Shen Hao a favor.

It's just that Shen Hao hasn't contacted him for a long time, so he really doesn't know how long he will owe this favor.

Could it be that he forgot?

Redknapp Sr. rejected the idea outright.

Look at Jamie Redknapp again. Old Redknapp knows that the greater Jamie Redknapp’s achievements, the greater the favor he owes.

But after all, it was owed to his son, so the father would naturally not be too worried.

Old Redknapp still hopes that Jamie Redknapp can achieve greater glory at the end of his career.

After midfield adjustments, the two teams returned to the court to change sides and fight again.

Shen Hao is still supervising the battle carefully from the sidelines.

We will also keep in mind some small details that occur on the field. If there are errors that cannot be corrected on the spot, the post-game summary must of course leave a deeper impression on the players.

Portsmouth waited until the 75th minute of the game before starting their counterattack.

Leeds United have completed their substitutions.

At the same time, the team also switched to a counter-attacking style.

Caution is the boat.

Nothing is more important than winning now.

Due to Lopez's recovery from injury, when Leeds United switched to anti-counterattack, Ribery and Deisler were left in the frontcourt.

As the game came to an end, Modric launched a quick counterattack. After advancing, Deisler assisted Ribery to score a single goal from the edge of the penalty area!

Leeds United 2:0 Portsmouth.

It can be considered a relatively smooth victory.

Redknapp Sr. had no emotional upheavals.

Facing reporters after the game, he said frankly: "There are many controversies about Leeds United, but I think the least controversial thing is their strength. You can disagree with their style of one way or another, but I think the entire Premier League does not Which coach said that we can definitely beat Leeds United, especially at Elland Road. We suffered a defeat here. There are experiences and lessons worth summarizing that need to be digested slowly, but I will not put pressure on my team because They have tried to do their best.”

Redknapp Sr.'s compliments for Leeds United didn't last a day or two.

After Jamie Redknapp moved to Leeds United, Fleet Street knew that the old Redknapp was like a mouse meeting a cat when meeting Shen Hao.

So there was a cacophony of noise coming out of Fleet Street.

"Portsmouth is giving Leeds United points!"

"Redknapp should be ashamed of himself!"

"It's a shame to lose to Leeds United, but it's a shame to not dare to resist against Leeds United!"

In the same round of the league, the top three teams win at the same time.

The gap between the championship groups remains unchanged.

Leeds United face Arsenal in midweek.

At the pre-match press conference, Shen Hao did not talk about the upcoming game, but spoke for the old Redknapp.

"I'm actually used to the weird and even unabashed slander from the media about Leeds United, but now the public opinion atmosphere has become a bit strange. If Portsmouth lost to Leeds United because they didn't dare to resist, then, from now on, the public opinion atmosphere has become a bit strange. From last season to today, how many teams in the Premier League did not dare to resist Leeds United and lost the game? Who can give me an answer?

I know you don't like Leeds United winning, it doesn't matter, just come at me.

But to harm innocent people and try to confuse right and wrong is to fool everyone.

Maybe Arsenal fans will not watch the game between Portsmouth and Leeds United, but it does not mean that they will not watch the game between Arsenal and Leeds United. Premier League fans know how strong Leeds United is. "

After Shen Hao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

No opportunity was given to reporters to ask questions.

He used this cold gesture to warn the Uncrowned King.

He doesn't mind the media attacking Leeds United.

In a sense, this will also bring heat and pressure to Leeds United.

Popularity will bring advertising effects.

Pressure will keep them alert at all times.

But if it involves those teams who are willing to compliment Leeds United, this attack surface is too wide.

If the development continues, Leeds United will be completely "isolated".

Any club that has contact with Leeds United will be targeted.

Shen Hao must guard against subtle changes.

Naturally, some tough measures have to be taken.

The Uncrowned King was not intimidated.

The next day Fleet Street was blasting Shen Hao for his ego and his misrepresentation of the facts.

It seems that losing to Leeds United is not a problem. The question is how to lose, which is worth exploring.

This is used to distinguish which teams dare to resist Leeds United and which teams give points to Leeds United.

Anyway, the judgment standard is in their hands.

They are the referees.

In the evening, Leeds United visited the Emirates Stadium in North London.

As soon as Shen Hao entered the field, he was greeted with crazy curses from Arsenal fans!

Leeds United gave Arsenal an unforgettable 9:0 victory in the first half of this season!

Write yourself into Arsenal's history.

Arsenal fans should hate Leeds United second only to Tottenham this season.

Taking the place of Manchester United in the past.

Shen Hao turned a deaf ear.

Wenger entered the game with a cold face.

Now in the Premier League standings, the championship group has clearly left behind its pursuers.

The pattern is clear at a glance.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, there is a high probability that these four teams will compete for the top four.

So in terms of grade, Leeds United has left Arsenal behind.

Don't look at the lineup, just look at the point difference.

You must know that Arsenal does not have the Champions League to distract them this season, but the league performance is still unsatisfactory.

Henry is rumored to want to leave the club.

Desire to achieve perfection by winning a Big Ear Cup before the end of his career.

Whenever such rumors appear, it will have a huge impact on the team's internal stability.

If possible, Shen Hao would like Henry, but he doesn’t know if there is a chance.

A flag-type player is unlikely to transfer to a competitor in the same league if he has not broken with his old club.

Shen Hao could only wait and see for the time being.

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

"Hello everyone, I am Xiaopang, and I am here again with my glasses in the early morning of China to commentate live on the Premier League highlight battle between Arsenal and Leeds United for all the fans in white!"

"Arsenal...the Arsenal we miss!"

"Yeah, when I see Arsenal, I think of Leeds United's biggest winning record in the history of the Premier League."

"That was also the worst defeat record in Arsenal's history."

"Henry has returned from injury. I wonder if Arsenal can save face at home."

"I don't know if Wenger has a long memory. Can he be embarrassed and defend against counterattacks at home?"

The best of both teams came out.

Arsenal's side is much shabby.

The blow to them from losing Campbell, Ashley Cole, Pires, Bergkamp and other players has been very obvious this season.

If we lose Henry again...

can not imagine.

After the start of the game, Leeds United played steadily, and Arsenal was also cautious.

Both teams adopted exploratory offensives.

Shen Hao noticed that Henry's injury had caused his abilities to decline.

The French winger, who is about to turn 30, is more dependent on his body. The impact of injuries on their skills is more reflected in players with more fancy movements, while the impact on speedy players is very comprehensive. As long as he is injured, he will definitely Have a negative impact on strength.

Henry's outbreak is more cautious, and he is no longer able to eject and start anytime and anywhere like before.

The midfield three composed of Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto Silva has sufficient organizational and creative capabilities.

Walcott and Henry fly together on both wings, and Baptista is the center. The structure is very reasonable.

However, Arsenal's focus on Henry's side of play is self-defeating.

Leeds United will certainly take measures against Henry's threat in their pre-match preparations.

Henry's threat failed to materialize.

Leeds United's fast break was also mercury-filled.

But after the team's offense advanced to the frontcourt, Arsenal's midfield and backfield players seemed very nervous.

The frequency of active fouls is very high. Although the actions are not big, the constant fouls interrupting the rhythm really frustrates Leeds United emotionally.

Successive frontcourt set pieces did not pose a threat.

Shen Hao frowned and didn't understand whether Arsenal fouled because they couldn't defend themselves, or whether they used the foul premeditatedly to interrupt Leeds United's rhythm.

If it were Mourinho, Shen Hao would definitely be the latter.

But based on his understanding of Wenger, it seems that he cannot do this.

Arsenal's defense looks safer than Leeds'.

Because Leeds United's offense reaches the frontcourt and once there are signs of creating a threat, it becomes a set piece.

When Arsenal's offense reached the frontcourt, Walcott and Henry passed the ball to the center without a good opportunity to cut inside.

Rosicky and Fabregas took turns to come in and form a long-range threat.

However, if it fails to create a world wave, shots from outside the penalty area will basically not be able to penetrate Toldo's fingers.

30 minutes of the game passed.

Clichy, Cesc Fabregas and Rosicky received yellow marks.

But Gilberto Silva is still very clean.

But at this time, Arsenal's midfield defense obviously had concerns.

Players who have received yellow cards dare not receive another yellow card for fear of being sent off.

When Rivaldo faced Clichy on the right side of the frontcourt, Fabregas came to help defend.

Rivaldo passed the ball diagonally back and immediately ran inside after releasing the ball.

Jamie Redknapp followed up and seemed to be about to send a through ball, but Gilberto Silva immediately came to press and harass.

Jamie Redknapp, however, spiked the ball under his feet and then passed the ball across.

Rui Costa took advantage of the situation in the middle to receive the ball and moved forward. When he reached the top of the penalty area, he had the opportunity to take a long shot but still chose to send a through ball.

Ronaldo turned around and pushed forward, but Kolo Toure and Djurou closed the door and defended slowly.

The man failed to follow and the ball passed.

Lehmann struck immediately, and just as he reached Ronaldo, Ronaldo passed the ball to the right like a dragonfly.

Lehmann turned to look, and Rivaldo met the ball parallel to Ronaldo and shot.

Lehmann twisted around and tried to save but it was too late.

It's impossible to catch it.

The Emirates Stadium suddenly burst into cheers from Leeds United fans!

"Rivaldo pushed and scored! The goal was scored so easily!"

"Arsenal has obviously learned the lessons of the disastrous defeat in the first half. Although their defensive actions were not out of the ordinary today, they have been very vigilant and committed fouls at the first sign of trouble. However, under the background that three backcourt players have already been dyed yellow, their defense still showed up. flaw."

"Look at our goal, how wonderful the teamwork is! Isn't this the scene Wenger has always longed for?"

Perhaps this is the most heart-wrenching point.

Leeds United have never claimed to play beautiful football.

Shen Hao would not talk about being romantic, unrestrained and good-looking.

However, Leeds United's teamwork often produces a mercury-flushing effect on the playing field.
