Chapter 312 The uncrowned king can only get two hands of information!
Everton fans saw Leeds United's lineup and were trembling in the away fans' stands before the game even started.
They were brutally slaughtered by Leeds United's substitutes in two rounds of the League Cup.
Went to Elland Road as a guest today.
Facing Leeds United's main team...
No matter how you think about it, you may be drained of blood on the river again.
Moyes stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed and looked nervous.
"The league and the cup are different," he said in an interview before the game.
Fleet Street laughed its head off.
David Moyes has the toughest mouth in every part of his body!
However, it is indeed different.
Take a look at Leeds United's starting XI.
How can it be the same as the lineup in the League Cup?
Leeds United fans are full of expectations and can't wait to enjoy the wonderful performance of the main team.
The game begins.
Leeds United took advantage of the home court and took the initiative, and soon the offensive was overwhelming.
Moyes and Everton fans are feeling numb and uneasy.
but...
Just after 20 minutes of the game, Everton made a quick counterattack and entered the frontcourt. Andy Johnson received Cahill's pass while running inside.
He stopped, speeded up, changed directions, widened the distance between him and Helgra, and then shot hard.
The football goes straight to the far corner of the goal.
The angle is very tricky.
Toldo's save was unable to save the day.
Leeds United fans:! ! !
Everton fans and Moyes were stunned for a moment before suddenly bursting into cheers.
"The ball went in! Andy Johnson gave Everton the lead in the counterattack!"
"What's going on? We used our substitute lineup to keep Everton clean in both legs of the League Cup semi-finals. Why did we concede a goal when we played at home with our main force?"
"The tactical posture is different. In the League Cup, we were playing defensive counterattack, with offense second and defense first. But today at home, it was obvious that offense became the first priority, which gave Etienne the advantage. There is room for Everton to counterattack, and Everton’s strength has an ideal stage to display.”
Moyes swept away his previous nervousness and suddenly felt courageous and confident.
No matter whether Leeds United is good at playing cup matches or the main lineup is thin today.
Everton was ahead anyway.
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and he felt that he could do it again!
Shen Hao raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
In addition to changes in techniques and tactics, the main team really needs to find its actual combat status.
Just dropped a ball.
The problem is not big.
However, he still gave signs to the team, asking them to cheer up and improve their condition!
Leeds United's main team is eager to compete!
They were extremely grateful that Shen Hao gave them a holiday.
Although they don't have a holiday at the same time as Christmas, compared with other Premier League teams, Leeds United's benefits simply make them happy.
And they also knew that the reason why Shen Hao did this was to allow them to have stronger fighting power after returning from vacation!
Physical fitness is no longer an excuse.
Under objective conditions, Shen Hao did his best to create the best for the team.
The rest is up to them.
Leeds United actually maintained a good rhythm from the beginning.
It's just a matter of seizing the opportunity.
After losing the ball, the Blancos were like an enraged beast.
After the kick-off, he quickly launched a violent attack on the Everton defense.
Wave after wave of fast breaks repeatedly ravaged the Toffees' defense.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Deisler received a pass from Candela on the left side of the penalty area, faked a crosscut and then volleyed.
Howard made a flying save to block the ball.
The football that bounced towards the right side of the penalty area was controlled by Robben. He faced Jagielka and faked a shot, then crossed the ball and then kicked the goal.
The football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Robben rushed to the sideline with a confident look on his face.
Regardless of whether Everton were fools today.
He can still score goals!
"Robben scores a supplementary shot! Leeds United equalizes the score!"
"Robben is in good shape after returning from vacation, and his ability to seize opportunities has improved significantly."
"Of course, my brother Hao's ability to train stars is undoubted. To put it bluntly, if Robben is thrown to another team now, he will definitely not be able to achieve the data and efficiency he did at Leeds United. This is the gap."
Shen Hao smiled. Entering 2008, he had a hunch that Robben's true transformation was not far away.
From a first-line star to the top ranks!
If you want to be world-class, you must show dominance or decisiveness in key games and big scenes.
Moyes and Everton fans looked miserable again.
Leeds United's strength is visible to the naked eye, and their aura alone makes them breathless.
Everton's counterattack was less threatening due to Leeds United's encirclement and interception.
Before the end of the half, Belletti went down the right wing and was covered by Robben. He easily adjusted after receiving the ball and then sent a high-quality cross.
Ma Kai outflanked one end in the middle and headed the ball into the goal!
The cheers at Elland Road shocked everyone.
"Ma Kai scored with a header! Haha, overtake!"
"I just want to ask Moyes, what is the difference between the league and the cup? Is it different because Everton can score goals? Is there any difference in the results?"
"Moyes is like a mad dog. Ever since we returned to the Premier League, he has been biting Brother Hao and won't let go. It's so shameless to rub off on my brother Hao in this way."
Leeds United fans only feel that the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up, and the haze has dispersed.
Moyes' expression was distorted.
But there was nowhere to vent his depression and slight sense of humiliation.
Leeds United is bullying people too much!
The substitutes tortured the main players.
It's like all the players in the first team are rushing to beat Everton!
Halftime is over.
Shen Hao did not enter the locker room, but paced back and forth on the sidelines to stretch his muscles.
By the way, watch a dynamic and hot halftime show of the Leeds women's team.
He even signed autographs for the young fans in the stands.
"Lord Tyrant, today is my birthday, can you give me a signed jersey from you?"
After taking the group photo, the little boy said to Shen Hao with a look of anticipation on his face.
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment.
Signed jersey?
I'm not a player.
Still, he smiled and nodded.
He walked back to the bench and asked Feiningan to find him a spare jersey, but these spare jerseys all had numbers and names.
He got a piece of Ronaldo's No. 9 jersey.
Anyway, he wasn't in the squad today, so if you need a spare jersey, you won't need his.
Shen Hao signed his name on the back of the jersey.
When he walked back to the little boy with the jersey, the Leeds United fans in the stadium had already begun to applaud enthusiastically.
Shen Hao handed the jersey to the little boy.
The other party excitedly took it and thanked him in a row.
The boy's father applauded Shen Hao with great pride, his eyes filled with admiration.
The little boy put the jersey on directly. Although it was big, it had a cute contrast on him.
The cheers in the stadium lasted for a long time.
Shen Hao walked back to the coaching bench and sat down.
Just an episode.
The second half started very early.
Everton came up to grab the start and looked like they were going to struggle violently.
However, Kompany resisted Andy Johnson in the key defense. After the interception was successful, Leeds United quickly launched a fast break.
Robben received the ball from the right side of the midfield and started ejecting from the spot. When he encountered a defensive player while dribbling at lightning speed, he paused and then speeded up and changed direction to rush forward.
He just took an S route to connect the two people and then passed the ball across the middle from the edge of the penalty area.
After receiving the ball in the middle, Ma Kai turned around and swept the ball towards the left rib area of the penalty area.
Deisler, who was running wildly, took off his foot and shot the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Leeds United 3:1 Everton!
"Hahaha, Everton steals the chicken but loses the rice!"
"You want to grab the start and catch us off guard? You're so naive."
"Robben's racing progress has been wonderful, Makai has not been sloppy, and Deisler's ability to play as a left winger has also improved significantly this season. Entering the new year, his true colors in white are back!"
Moyes felt a chill in his heart.
Is this the time to be slaughtered again?
The Everton fans on the field were not only disappointed, but also confused.
Moyes spent 15 minutes carefully deploying the opening game during the halftime break... but the result was a loss of goals.
Come on, his battle plan can be thrown into the trash can.
If he didn't want to eat this bowl of rice, some people would want to do it in front of him, He...Tui!
Leeds United did not reduce their offensive intensity after taking a two-goal lead.
On the other hand, the Everton generals were a little disheartened.
From the disastrous defeat in the League Cup to the league, three games against Leeds United in a short period of time.
They have been knocked out of the shadows.
In general, they did not surrender directly, but after resisting and struggling, they found that they could not change their fate.
This is how morale deteriorates!
As the game approached 70 minutes, Modric suddenly reached the front area of the penalty area to receive Deisler's return pass. He changed the direction of the ball and broke through Arteta, and shot furiously from the penalty area line.
The football flew through a stream of light into the lower right corner of the goal.
After Howard's save failed, he lay in front of the goal line with a numb face.
"Modric scored with a long shot! Leeds United 4:1 Everton, sealing the victory!"
"I'm now curious to see what Moyes will say after the game."
"Hahaha, how about we broadcast the interview live after the game?"
"It depends on what everyone thinks. I have no problem with working overtime."
The chat box on the live webpage was filled with crazy views.
Everyone unanimously asked to see the post-match interview.
Shen Hao started making substitutions step by step.
Lopez, Rakitic, and Kelly appeared one after another.
The morale of the Everton team was low, as if they didn't even want to try to counterattack.
There are no obvious signs of gaining momentum.
It may have indeed been numbed.
In the end, Leeds United stabilized its defense and strengthened its control, ending the game smoothly.
The moment the final whistle sounded, Elland Road erupted in wild cheers from Leeds United fans.
Shen Hao turned around and walked into the players tunnel with a natural expression.
When interviewed by reporters after the game, Shen Hao said lightly, "We just won a game that we should have won."
Didn't take Everton seriously at all.
Moyes, on the other hand, was hesitant and unable to come up with anything when faced with the defeat.
A little embarrassed, a little embarrassed.
If not for the previous remarks against Leeds United.
In fact, he will not lose his composure when facing a defeat.
But if you raise your tone, it’s not that others can’t catch it, it’s that you can’t catch it!
The chubby and glasses people on the live webpage joked that no matter how thick-skinned Moyes is, he will soon be broken.
Fans in white couldn't stop laughing.
...
In the same round of the league, Manchester United defeated Reading away from home, and Arsenal won Fulham away from home.
The gap between the top three in the standings has not changed.
...
There was no fighting in midweek and Leeds United took full rest.
At this time, the vote on whether to build a new stadium in the Leeds United Chinese Official Forum has become news.
After Fleet Street learned the news, they first logged on to the Leeds United official website to verify it.
but...
They can't get into the shareholder section!
So after extensive verification, Leeds United’s new stadium plan was confirmed from some screenshots.
Fleet Street felt suffocated.
They are the center of European media and the most developed in consulting.
Leeds United is also a football club of the British Empire.
As a result, for such an important matter, what they got was second-hand information.
Ahead of the weekend's FA Cup tie.
Shen Hao attended the pre-match press conference.
Because the opponent is Chelsea.
That's why it seems more grand.
After all, there are many games, but the clash between Leeds United and Chelsea is the focus.
Fleet Street reporters rushed to ask Shen Hao questions.
“Are Leeds United’s plans for a new stadium true?”
When Shen Hao heard this, he was silent at first, then shook his head and said: "It's just an idea at the moment, and it has not yet become a plan to be implemented by the implementation committee."
"The Leeds United board will decide whether to build a new stadium through an online vote. Don't you think this is child's play?"
Only then did Shen Hao realize that Fleet Street had some intention of launching an attack.
He smiled slightly.
"Only our shareholders have the right to vote. In other words, it is all shareholders who decide whether to build a new stadium. How can this be child's play? This shows that we fully respect the opinions and decisions of shareholders."
Fleet Street reporters were even angrier.
"Don't the opinions of local fans matter?"
"Are you messing around? If we want to build a new stadium, where will the money come from? This is closely related to the interests of all shareholders of Leeds United. Don't confuse the concept. If our shareholders vote in the end to reject this plan, it will also turn It’s not your fault. There are so many clubs in England, and there are many clubs that need maintenance, upgrades and replacement of their stadiums. You can ask them why they don’t take action, and don’t bother me.”
After saying these words, Shen Hao stood up and left.
Fleet Street is here to fan the flames.
To find fault with the local fans of Leeds United under the banner of defending them.
But the next day, representatives of the fans organization came to seek confirmation from Leeds United management.
Shen Hao did not come forward.
On game day, he has to lead the team to prepare for the game.
Chen Hao received Warnock, the representative of Glory Leeds, and Andy Morrell, the representative of Progressive Leeds who had a good relationship with him, in the office.
He also invited journalist representatives from the Leeds Daily News and the Yorkshire Evening Post.
They sat around the coffee table.
If Shen Hao has always been tough in dealing with them, then Chen Hao is very gentle.
He seems to be both strong and soft, but Yorkshire Evening Post reporter David Walmott, who has been dealing with Leeds United for the longest time, knows that Chen Hao is a typical person who hides his sword behind his smile.
Chen Hao first introduced the plan of the new stadium to everyone in a serious manner.
Warnock and Morell nodded frequently.
Two reporters took notes.
Even if they want to know something, they will do so after Chen Hao communicates with representatives of the fan organization.
"This plan is great. If it can be carried out without significant impact on the club's operations and construction, then we will support the club in building a new stadium."
Andy Morrell was the first to express his opinion.
Chen Hao put down his tea cup and smiled.
"Who knows what will happen in the future. If Arsenal fans knew that the debt of the new stadium would cause them to be downgraded from the favorites to compete for the Premier League title to the top four, would they still support Arsenal in building a new stadium?"
Warnock frowned.
This...makes sense.
No one can predict what will happen in the future.
When Leeds United is doing well, everyone wants the club to become more prosperous and stronger.
From competitive strength to asset size.
Last summer they upgraded the Thorpe Arch training base, renovating the training infrastructure, adding advanced equipment and equipment, and a behind-the-scenes team.
Although these are not Fleet Street's main concerns.
But it can be seen in the eyes of local fans.
Even if we don't consider how much this kind of investment can improve the team's combat effectiveness, from an environmental perspective, it will be more attractive to outstanding players and top players.
Players with high value are of course willing to go to clubs with more advanced environment and facilities and higher-end clubs.
Who wants to go to a shabby team?
But the plan to build a new stadium was too big.
This will almost affect the club's operating conditions in the next 5-10 years.
In fact, the opinions of local fans don't matter.
Chen Hao just wanted to prevent local fans from being too extreme and causing conflicts.
That's why this meeting took place, and he explained the pros and cons to them as gently as possible.
“Our shareholders do not have the same position. According to my observation, there are many people who voted against it, but no matter what the result is, we will implement the majority resolution.
In the final analysis, we are here to serve shareholders and fans, but huge interests are involved, so we can only seek the opinions of shareholders. "
Morell and Warnock were silent.
They know very well the urinary nature of Leeds United, a Chinese capital.
Shareholders take precedence.
This is the consensus that everyone has formed.
But if they don't pay attention to local fans... there will be no discounts on tickets, no investment from Modern City, and no concert programs prepared for local fans after last year's championship parade.
Compared with other Premier League teams, Leeds United and China Capital have actually done an impeccable job.
It's just building a new stadium, which is the club's [-]-year plan.
The most profound impact will be on local fans.
They were going from Elland Road to another stadium to watch Leeds United play...
At this time Volmot said something.
"If Leeds United wants to compete with England's traditional giants for a long time in the future, a larger stadium is essential and will receive official support from Leeds."
Chen Hao looked at Volmot and admired in his heart: This is a real teammate.
Walmot has always supported Leeds United from an objective, rational and inclusive standpoint.
There is no racist prejudice, and there is no impetuous desire for quick success.
Morel and Warnock soon figured this out and finally gave up their original demands.
They expect local fans to also participate in voting.
But that will once again be in opposition to Leeds United China Capital.
Because this is challenging their bottom line.
