Chapter 405 The bones at the foot of the ladder to the gods!
Leeds United entered the dressing room with a 2:1 lead.
Shen Hao has been trying to figure out Ferguson's psychology.
He wanted to know what the old fox was thinking.
Even if what he thinks cannot shake the final outcome of the game, it will definitely give him the experience Shen Hao expects.
When Manchester United fell behind, Ferguson did not turn on the hairdryer in the locker room. Instead, he solemnly made tactical demands on the players.
For example, Berbatov was asked to intensify the harassment of Leeds United's midfielder on the basis of support, counterattack and sweep, etc.
When Anderson is asked to defend, he can retreat into the penalty area from a long distance immediately.
Anderson is not good at frontal defense.
Isn't it okay to throw away your brain and go straight back to the defense to act as a barrier for the defender?
After Ferguson issued a series of orders, he gave the team a boost.
In the second half, they returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.
Ferguson watched as Leeds United calmly continued their defensive counterattack.
Manchester United actively launched an offensive, and Ronaldo and Rooney in turn created a good opportunity for Berbatov after forming a containment in the inside cut.
However, the football that Brother Xiaosha hurriedly kicked in front of the penalty area was firmly controlled by Neuer's save.
Ferguson's heart sank.
For the league, the outcome of this game is indeed not enough to change the final outcome.
To expect Leeds United to collapse would not only be ridiculously naive, but also an extreme lack of respect for the strong.
Why did Leeds United, which had been strong for more than eight months, collapse at the last moment?
This contest has been a warm-up for the Champions League semi-finals from the beginning.
It is not only the maintenance of morale and fighting spirit, but also has a deeper meaning.
trial!
Giving every effort represents Manchester United's unyielding fighting spirit and its will to defend its dignity as the Premier League champions.
But after the actual confrontation, the content presented in the game will provide Ferguson with intuitive reference material for hiring in the Champions League semi-finals.
In terms of adjustments, Berbatov can be replaced by Tevez.
The reason why Manchester United does not use Tevez as the main player this season is simple.
Berbatov is a player of Manchester United, but Tevez is a loan player.
But if Berbatov cannot show enough strength in this level of competition, then Manchester United should make decisive adjustments.
Even if Giggs is used to play on the wing and Rooney is used as center, it is still a backup option.
Anderson in midfield is also a point that can be adjusted.
Even if Hargreaves cannot come back, South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung can still step up.
Maybe Berbatov and Anderson themselves don't know that this second half will determine their chances and time to play a life-or-death battle with Leeds United in the Champions League semi-finals.
And they did not give Ferguson a satisfactory answer.
Leeds United's counterattack is still on the rise, and Ronaldinho's bloody storm alone is enough to turn Manchester United's defense upside down.
When Ronaldinho once again formed a containment, he used a fancy heel to knock the ball to deliver a wonderful pass. Modric stepped in and took advantage of the situation at the top of the penalty area to drive the ball into the penalty area.
Vidic was restrained by Ronaldo, Evans was a step too late to intercept, and Modric's frontal shot directly penetrated Van der Sar's ten fingers!
"Modric! Leeds United wins again!"
"We can now say that Modric has grown to a world-class level. His organization and threat from behind can be said to be a technical model in the midfield in today's football world."
"Yes, he is more delicate than Lampard and Gerrard, and is more threatening than Alonso when he cuts in from the back. Compared with the traditional attacking midfielder in the past, he has a wider running range and has more responsibilities on both offense and defense. He is the new generation benchmark of technical all-round midfielder!"
Leeds United 3:1 Manchester United.
Ferguson stared at Modric who was celebrating, sighing in his heart that the Croatian midfielder has grown so comprehensive and powerful in less than three years at Leeds United.
While the outside world is still marveling at how powerful Leeds United's medical system is, insiders have actually begun to study the unique features of Leeds United's training system that can enable many players to become talented quickly.
Each coach will emphasize key items in team training based on his or her own technical and tactical style.
The unusual thing about Leeds United's training that can be detected by the outside world is the intensity.
Their intensity is the highest in the Premier League.
Even the highest in European football.
This is unusual and unreasonable for Leeds United, who play the largest number of games every season and yet maintain the highest training intensity year after year. It violates the basic laws and principles of modern sports medicine.
But just like their miraculous medical system, the training system has also been noticed by the outside world, but there is no way to explain the source of the magic.
When the score became 3:1, Shen Hao suddenly decided to dig a hole for Manchester United.
He made substitutions and then made technical and tactical adjustments to the team.
The team changes from defensive counterattack to all-out attack!
In the eyes of the audience, this was a concrete action taken by the Leeds tyrant to show off his power to Manchester United.
The white army on the green field can advance and attack, retreat and defend, move and release freely, and are extremely tyrannical!
Manchester United failed to withstand the stormy impact caused by Leeds United's change in technical and tactical posture.
Daisler and Belletti cooperated on the right to break through Evra's defense. Belletti entered the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball in front of the baseline, allowing Ronaldinho, who was outflanked from behind, to score!
"Ronaldinho finally scored! His performance today deserves a goal!"
"His expression looks a little regretful. He doesn't even dance samba anymore. What happened?"
"We still don't know what Brother Hao meant when he shook his head at Ronaldinho on the dial in the first half. Maybe one day we will find the answer in Ronaldinho's mouth or in Brother Hao's autobiography."
Ronaldinho was a little melancholy.
The goal was scored, but it came too late.
He knows that a person who does not keep his promises cannot gain the most basic respect.
So he will fulfill the consequences of his bet and stop visiting nightclubs until the end of the season.
Maybe he can only catch girls at home.
...
Manchester United trailed 1:4 to Leeds United.
This score gap reminded Red Devils fans that Liverpool had defeated them with such a score this season.
They fell silently into sorrow.
Not sure what went wrong.
Are their opponents getting stronger, or is Manchester United stuck in a quagmire that is difficult to get out of.
The scene became unrestrained and Manchester United began to get better offensive opportunities.
In the 77th minute of the game, Berbatov acted as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and passed the ball back to find Scholes who came in. The latter sent a penetrating through ball behind the Leeds United defense.
Rooney cut inside to counter offside and passed the ball before Helguera put down a shovel to block it.
When the football quickly rolled to the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo rushed to the ball and hit the ball with a clean volley into the upper left corner of the goal!
Neuer came to block the near corner but was still slow, or Ronaldo's near corner angle was really tricky.
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo did not celebrate, and his expression did not change at all. He turned and ran towards the midfield.
His performance this season has declined compared to last season.
At least the statistics are obviously not as good as last season.
But he is still Manchester United's best player.
This is the strength of world-class stars.
When in good condition, he is unique.
When in average condition, he still stands out from the crowd.
Far from being comparable to ordinary stars.
Such stars are rare in European football in every era.
"Cronaldo got a goal back for Manchester United! When he became active and unrestrained on the sidelines, Manchester United's offensive strength can be said to be on par with ours, no different!"
"Yes, although they are our mortal enemies, we must admit that the attacking group formed by players such as Rooney, Ronaldo, Scholes, etc. in the Premier League is not much different from our attacking group."
Shen Hao noticed that there seemed to be something on his mind hidden in Ronaldo's calm demeanor.
He didn't know what it was.
But I know it must have affected his condition.
I'm afraid only Ferguson knows at this moment that Ronaldo's heart is flying away from Manchester United and going to Madrid, which is beautiful all year round.
Shen Hao didn't know for sure that he believed this, despite rumors from the outside world.
However, Real Madrid's current problem is that Calderon has stepped down and a new chairman has not yet been elected.
Talking about who Real Madrid will introduce...this is obviously an unreliable rumor.
If he knew that Calderon signed an agreement with Manchester United and Ronaldo on behalf of Real Madrid last summer, then he would not think so.
Too bad he didn't know.
The unrestrained scene continues.
Shen Hao hopes to use the ending of the attack to give Manchester United some hope.
Turn strategic failures into improvisational deficiencies.
After Ronaldo once again entered the penalty area to grab a header, but Neuer blocked the ball head-on, Berbatov seized the opportunity to make a supplementary shot and volleyed the ball into the goal!
Neuer looked up to the sky and sighed.
Shen Hao also saw the deficiencies in defense and protection in the midfield.
This is basically determined by the structure of Leeds United's lineup.
After all, Modric is not a purely defensive midfielder.
"Berbatov made a great extra shot! Manchester United recovered another goal!"
"Oh my god, are we going to be tied by Manchester United? Not long ago we were leading 4:1, and now it's 4:3."
"There is still time in the game, I believe Leeds United can withstand it!"
Leeds United don't need to stand up.
When Manchester United actively counterattacked and swept away, Leeds United's delicate, smooth and fast teamwork penetrated Manchester United's defense.
The attacking Van der Sar was powerless against Ronaldinho's deft but precise lob from outside the penalty area.
Helplessly, I stopped and looked back, and saw the football falling into the goal in a light and graceful trajectory!
The cheers at Elland Road were deafening!
Ronaldinho just turned around and ran to the sidelines to celebrate, when he suddenly realized that he had scored twice.
What if... another goal is scored?
Isn’t it just a hat trick?
So he turned around and ran towards Manchester United's goal.
Race against time!
This made the fans stunned for a moment.
"Ronaldinho scored with a lob! He scored twice and he... he seemed not satisfied yet."
"Although the fighting spirit is commendable, what is going on with the sudden strong desire to score goals?"
"His performance on the court today is a bit incomprehensible. It seems that his thinking in the game is full of leaps and his actions are also full of huge turns."
Shen Hao originally applauded, but after seeing this scene, he smiled and shook his head.
There's no time.
Manchester United did not give Leeds United another chance to attack.
Anderson's long shot at the last moment blasted the ball directly into the stands.
The whole game came to an end.
Leeds United fans were full of laughter.
But Ronaldinho on the court had a sulky expression on his hips.
Ronaldo walked up to him with a rather playful smile.
"Did you also make a bet?"
Ronaldinho nodded.
"If you had told me earlier, I would have passed the ball to you. You should have yelled in the locker room and asked everyone to help you."
Ronaldinho's eyes suddenly widened.
"Can such an operation still be possible? Could it be that you..."
Ronaldo smiled and said nothing.
When he was able to beat Shen Hao, it was indeed because of the help of his teammates and he sought the full support of the team in the locker room.
Of course, as the main shooter, his demands are not excessive.
Ronaldinho sighed.
I feel that I missed a good opportunity.
Today we play Manchester United because it basically doesn’t involve the title race.
So he can definitely play his cards right in the locker room and let his teammates create opportunities for him.
Presumably with his character that gets along well with everyone, no teammate would refuse.
But when he met Manchester United again in the Champions League semifinals at the end of the month, he knew the basic professional qualities of a player. He could not ask for help from his teammates in the locker room.
Because he may disrupt Shen Hao's deployment and arrangements.
The importance of the Champions League semi-finals cannot be taken lightly.
Missed it, missed it!
His melancholy made the photographers on the sidelines have questions on their foreheads.
Leeds United clearly defeated Manchester United 5:3.
In addition to scoring twice, he also had a wonderful performance that absolutely dominated the game.
What is there to lose?
There are 5 rounds left in the league.
Leeds United leads No. 2 Manchester United by 13 points.
With just one more win, Leeds United will win the league title and complete their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
As soon as possible, it can be achieved in the next round.
After the game, Shen Hao faced reporters with a confident and charming smile.
"Four consecutive Premier League titles is a glorious achievement that demonstrates our dominance. It will lay the foundation for us to surpass Liverpool and Manchester United to become the strongest and most successful team in the history of English football. Here, I thank everyone at Leeds. I would like to thank United fans for their support, and I would like to thank all the staff of the club for their dedication, as well as all the players who make me full of pride and pride. The battle is not over yet, and the heights we can reach are also full of unknowns. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. , but I know Leeds will still climb higher."
Shen Hao issued a declaration of victory.
A summary of this season’s Premier League in advance.
He doesn't like to be secretive, preferring to be frank.
Rather than worrying about winning an early championship that will make players relax, it is better to make it clear and tell players that they still have challenges to face.
Many Premier League coaches watched the video of Shen Hao's post-match interview, and they fell silent.
Perhaps what they are thinking about at this time is that it is their sorrow to compete in the Premier League in the same era as Shen Hao.
Because they have all become the white bones of the white-robed tyrant at the foot of the ladder to the gods!
