Chapter 380: Laugh at it, opportunities are rare!
In the absence of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, the two Brazilian golden ball players, Leeds United can still score goals, which to a certain extent is an alternative consolidation of the team's morale and confidence.
After all, Stoke City failed to withstand Leeds United's delicate, smooth and fast-paced team offensive.
With the score behind, Stoke City launched a fierce attack in the last 15 minutes of the game.
Shen Hao stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly as he watched Stoke City's aggressive counterattack and simple and rough play.
If you say you're not worried about players getting injured, that's definitely a lie.
Even though he has enough reels in stock, he doesn't want his players to be injured.
Apart from brutal confrontation, Stoke City had no other way to fight for opportunities.
A team like this... can compete in the Premier League.
But it definitely won’t last long.
If it's better, you can stay in the Premier League for a few years. If it's not, you may be relegated soon.
As the game approached 90 minutes, the desperate Stoke City defense suffered heavy losses.
Leeds United's fast break swept the frontcourt.
Their pressing was fierce and menacing.
But he couldn't even get close to Leeds United players.
Ma Kai acts as a bridgehead in the frontcourt.
Modric followed up with the opponent's return pass and sent an overhead through ball.
Deisler got into the penalty area and unloaded the ball on his chest, then volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal!
A brace!
Shen Hao smiled and applauded on the sidelines.
The former German prodigy is definitely not Leeds United's most shining player, but he is the player who has continued to contribute the most consistently in the past year or so.
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Robben and Ribery are all stars who can bring the upper limit of the team's combat effectiveness.
But Deisler and Modric are important players in stabilizing Leeds United's fundamentals.
Stoke City are hopeless.
Leeds United won 2-0 at home.
After the game, Ronaldinho was diagnosed and sidelined for a month.
But Shen Hao knew that he would be back in a week.
Chelsea and Liverpool won this round at the same time.
The finale took place at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal unexpectedly defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 2:1 at home.
Ferguson was furious.
Although Manchester United, Real Madrid and Ronaldo signed the agreement.
However, it is obvious that Ronaldo's condition this season is not as good as last season, and he seems to be a little absent-minded.
At the same time, Hargreaves' glass body was exposed, and he looked like he was suffering from a long-term illness, which made Manchester United suffer from a weak waist again this season.
Leeds United continue to lead the table.
Liverpool are 5 points behind the top spot.
Chelsea are six points behind the top spot.
Manchester United are 8 points behind the top spot.
Arsenal are 9 points behind the top spot!
...
Leeds United went to North London to challenge Arsenal in midweek.
The team made a massive rotation.
After all, it is the battlefield of the League Cup.
Before reaching the semi-finals, Shen Hao must be serious, but he will definitely have reservations.
After he saw Arsenal's starting lineup, he couldn't help but lament that Wenger was a little impatient.
Years without a trophy have left Wenger eager to earn honors from local cup competitions to inspire the team.
The team's full lineup came on the field to face Leeds United's rotating substitute lineup.
I don't know if it was the defeat of Manchester United in the league that made them drift away, or if they simply didn't want to compete for the league title.
Wenger was still very tough-mouthed at the beginning of the season.
It means that Arsenal has a fantastic lineup.
Anyway, Shen Hao carefully read Arsenal's lineup from head to toe, inside and out, over and over again.
The only one who can catch his eye is Cesc Fabregas.
Even forwards like Robin van Persie cannot be said to be a handful in European football, but they are not necessarily that special.
Arsenal broke even in the transfer market during the summer.
Sold Hleb to Barcelona, introduced Nasri from Marseille, and dug up rising star Ramsey from Cardiff City.
Shen Hao originally wanted to steal Ramsey, but considering Rakitic's leveling space, he gave up in the end.
Arsenal are playing their best at home, and Wenger's goal is very clear, which is to overpower Leeds United and attack!
And to win.
Leeds United's rotation is not as good as Arsenal's in terms of appearance and offensive and defensive quality.
Definitely.
After moving away a bunch of veterans in the summer, the intensity of Leeds United's bench rotation has dropped significantly this season.
Coupled with the impact of injuries, Shen Hao is sometimes stretched by available people.
The team started to fight back, but Arsenal was strong enough to suppress Leeds United.
Shen Hao actively directed from the sidelines, but the situation was extremely passive.
Especially today, he went to level up with Kyle Walker to gain experience, but was beaten to death by Nasri!
In front of Nasri, the fledgling Kyle Walker was like a clumsy brute with no choice but to foul.
Even the mentality could not be stabilized.
Perhaps he was too eager to perform well to prove himself, but it backfired, causing him to be sent off before the end of the half-time game!
The local British commentator launched a bitter attack on Shen Hao!
"Throwing Kyle Walker, an 18-year-old full-back, to the Emirates Stadium to face the Premier League team Arsenal? What the Leeds tyrants are doing is so irresponsible!"
"Doesn't he know that doing this would probably destroy Kyle Walker's self-confidence?"
At the end of the half, Leeds United was already two goals behind.
Shen Hao returned to the locker room and saw Kyle Walker sitting in front of the closet in frustration, looking lost.
He said to him with a disgusted expression: "Don't act like a coward. If you want to cry, go find a place where no one is around to cry. I can wait for you to wipe away your tears before summarizing your performance today. If you If you feel that you should be the protagonist on the court, you must first understand that at your age, failure and setbacks are the norm, and every failure is an encouragement and spur to yourself."
Kyle Walker immediately cheered up after hearing this.
If you want to gain a foothold on the green field, you must first have a strong heart.
An indestructible heart is far more important than gorgeous and dazzling talents.
Shen Hao made adjustments.
Having one less player makes the game difficult.
The most important thing is that Leeds United does not have a strong enough power point to threaten Arsenal, which is full of main players today.
However, he still made adjustments very seriously and did not let the team fend for itself.
In the second half of the game, Arsenal strengthened their control of the situation.
Their fans naturally enjoy the game, and maybe they themselves have forgotten that this is only the stage of the League Cup, not the league.
Leeds United launched a counterattack after 70 minutes of the game. Even if the situation was passive, they still had to counterattack forcefully.
The result of bucking the trend was to be penetrated by Arsenal again.
Arsenal leads Leeds United 3:0.
And there is also the advantage in numbers.
Leeds United's defeat is certain.
When the final whistle sounded, Shen Hao shook hands with Wenger after the game and he left the field calmly.
Arsenal fans couldn't wait to boo him, showing off that they stepped on the corpse of Leeds United to advance to the next round of the League Cup today.
After the game, Shen Hao still showed his tough side when faced with difficulties from reporters.
"Kyle Walker's performance today disappointed me, but I believe he will learn lessons and perform better in the future. This is a process of growth for young players. No one can stand on the field. Think of yourselves as flowers in a greenhouse. If you just want to simply criticize me, fine, you have the right.
Because Leeds United lost today and I deserved it.
Just like when my team lifted the championship trophy, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to pay tribute to Leeds United.
Now, laugh as much as you like. Opportunities like this are rare for you all year round, and you should cherish them even more. "
Shen Hao's words left the reporters speechless.
They really want to add insult to injury to Leeds United.
But after Shen Hao said these words, whoever really takes the initiative to make a fuss about the failure of a training session in the League Cup will be more like a clown.
After the Arsenal fans calmed down at the end of the game, they felt a little melancholy.
They eliminated Leeds United in the League Cup.
But the problem is that in the more important league stage, they are still 9 points behind Leeds United!
...
Leeds United will visit St James' Park to challenge Newcastle United in the weekend league.
At the pre-match press conference, Fleet Street once again hyped that Michael Owen would not accept Newcastle United's request for a salary cut to renew his contract, and implicitly expressed his desire to join Leeds United.
When the two teams are about to face each other, talking about such a topic is definitely a lack of respect for each other.
There is no animosity between Leeds United and Newcastle United at club level.
Shen Hao also did not want to use the topic to disrupt Newcastle United's morale.
Can't do it!
He dismissed questions from Fleet Street reporters about Owen.
"If Owen really expresses his desire to join Leeds United as you said, then I can only say that I disagree with his approach. A professional player who is under contract should play for himself. The team will go all out and we will discuss future matters in the future. Within the constraints of the contract, loyalty is the most basic professional ethics."
Shen Hao's statement will at least make Newcastle United fans sound comfortable.
But they have had a hard time this season.
Newcastle United, struggling in the relegation zone, have endured a tumultuous past year.
Allardyce's reforms last season only lasted half a season before he was dismissed in disgrace.
In the nearly 10 months since then, Newcastle United has experienced three coaches.
There was chaos inside the club.
It seems that as long as the results are not satisfactory, the boss Ashley will fire the coach.
The road to relegation this season can be expected to be very difficult.
Come game day, Ronaldinho is back training...
Once again, he came to Ronaldo excited and repeatedly declared "My injury is healed!"
Ronaldo still disliked his unusual and strange reaction.
It was originally expected to take a month to recuperate, but now it only takes a week.
After the training, Ronaldinho was still kneeling on the training ground, looking up to the sky and closing his eyes. He didn't know what he was whispering to the god in his heart.
As a young man of the new era who advocates science, Shen Hao is obviously not interested in this kind of feudal superstition.
In his mind, even his system must be high-tech.
It has nothing to do with metaphysics or theology.
Leeds United went to the Northeast without Ronaldinho.
Shen Hao gave him more time to consolidate his recovered body.
This guy turned around and went into Leeds United's nightclub that night.
Celebrate your recovery.
...
St James' Park.
The afternoon was clearly sunny and the breeze was gentle.
But the entire stadium seemed to be shrouded in gloom.
Newcastle United fans all looked sad, as if they had encountered a difficult obstacle in their lives.
Owner Ashley stood in the stands wearing his jersey to be with the fans. Then, Shen Hao stood on the sidelines and clearly heard the Newcastle United fans cursing Ashley!
This boss is...
There are definitely a few bosses in the football circle who do not receive scolding.
And even if most bosses are scolded, they are still in the box.
Ashley is very different. Standing in the stands and letting the fans scold him seems to relieve the fans' anger.
But that doesn't solve the problem.
Newcastle United was eager to grab points and attacked aggressively.
Leeds United quickly gained a foothold and took advantage of the situation.
Newcastle United want to attack, give them space to attack.
In the 15th minute of the game, Leeds United's quick counterattack broke out from the center.
Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton turned around and intercepted, and he was so bold that he directly chose to tackle!
This famous bad boy in England has always done nothing!
But Modric just happened to control the ball and speed up without letting the opponent touch him!
Joey Barton's shovel missed, but he fell to the ground and put on a pain mask while touching the back of his thigh.
The Leeds United fans were shocked at first, and then burst into laughter.
"You bastard, you deserve it!"
"Is it a strain? It's a strain! It's best to scrap the season!"
"Come, come, come!"
Modric didn't know what was going on behind him. He just realized that Joey Barton was going to foul, so he changed the direction of the ball to speed up.
After that, he certainly wouldn't look back.
After advancing all the way to the dangerous area, Modric found the right angle and sent an overhead through ball.
Ronaldo countered offside and moved forward to form a single shot, and Given was about to attack.
Ronaldo touched the ball first and kicked the ball to the right.
Given blocked the ball and failed to touch it. He turned around and saw Deisler outflanking and pushing the ball into the empty goal easily.
After scoring the goal, Deisler smiled and hugged Ronaldo and ran together towards the visiting team fans' stands.
Newcastle United fans were silent at first.
I saw the team doctor come in and perform an operation on Joey Barton. Then Joey Barton stood up on one foot and limped out with the help of the team doctor holding his arms on both sides.
Newcastle United fans rolled their eyes in resignation and went about their business.
The target is Ashley.
three two one.
Start scolding!
Ashley was already numb.
I want to cry without tears.
The grand ideal and beautiful blueprint that we had just after acquiring Newcastle United seemed to have failed to go completely right from the first step.
Lend Irving to Leeds United and let Leeds United help them heal Irving's injury and eliminate his hidden injury risks.
Also gave Leeds United £600 million...
In the end, Irving is still a glass-bottom man, and he is refusing to cut his salary and renew his contract, which shows no sense of friendship at all.
Moreover, even though the Newcastle United team he purchased back then disappoints fans every year, it is still a team hovering in the middle of the Premier League. When it performs well, it can reach the upper reaches.
But what about Newcastle United now?
He is staying in the dire relegation zone!
How could the fans not explode?
