Chapter 439 A new powerful enemy emerges!
Chapter 439 A new powerful enemy emerges!
The second half of the game.
Mark Hughes no longer stands on the sidelines directing.
He knew that he stood there like a clown in the eyes of the world.
Manchester City is not yet an aircraft carrier.
But Mark Hughes has exposed his inability to control.
When the defeat was determined, he calmed down again and learned from the pain.
Even his mentality has serious problems.
How is it possible to lead Manchester City to a good record?
No matter what the fans expect or what the management demands.
Now that Manchester City is coming to Elland Road, as long as Leeds United can't let go, what can they do to resist?
The best result is to escape from Elland Road after all the hardships.
If you want a huge upset, you first need Manchester City to perform at a super level, and secondly, you need Leeds United to make mistakes.
Two conditions, one is indispensable.
On the premise that Leeds United makes no mistakes, Manchester City still wants to win?
Isn’t this embarrassing yourself?
They don't lack courage, but they don't have strength. The role of courage... can be ignored.
Leeds United attacked Manchester City's defense at their own pace. Although the Manchester City generals knew that the end was over, they clung to the bottom line.
I am afraid that Leeds United will suffer a historic tragedy like Manchester United.
So they increased the frequency of fouls without increasing their aggressiveness.
No need.
Just contain Leeds United's offensive rhythm and offensive threats.
Destructive moves will be more effective when the score is not behind.
Now I just don’t want to lose more, and I can’t make the mistake of using any more destructive moves.
Just after 60 minutes of the game, Zabaleta's foul on Ronaldinho earned him a second yellow card.
The referee really couldn't bear it anymore.
Zabaleta fouled Ronaldinho four times in a row within 10 minutes and did not play again.
Leeds United fans may have to collectively greet his eighteenth generation ancestors.
After Zabaleta was sent off, Mark Hughes replaced Adebayor with Kompany.
Manchester City fans sighed with melancholy.
Before the season, it was thought that Kompany could become their anchor, especially playing an important role in challenging Leeds United.
Unexpectedly, Kompany's first appearance against his old club at Elland Road would be in such an environment.
Richards moved to the wing and Kompany led the defense.
Leeds United fans had mixed feelings when they saw Kompany.
However, I quickly digested my emotions and adjusted my mentality.
Everyone has aspirations.
At that time, they regarded Ferdinand and Alan Smith as "traitors". The main reason was that the team they joined was Manchester United.
If it were a different team, it wouldn't be so emotionally difficult to accept.
Kompany's departure did not cause a stir in public opinion, and it was directly related to Shen Hao.
He downplayed the impact of the transfer when speaking to the media.
Now even extreme Leeds fans will not speak ill of Kompany and label him a Judas.
And most Leeds United fans were relieved.
There are no players like Robben, Ribery and Kompany who sell for astronomical prices.
How does Leeds United develop?
If you don’t leave and I don’t leave, where will the earnings beyond expectations come from?
Where will the new stadium under construction come from?
From a rational point of view, we still have to thank them for contributing to Leeds United's great cause.
Shen Hao sat on the coach's bench and watched the game. He first asked the substitutes to warm up, and then fell into deep thought.
Manchester City can't make waves at least this season.
The development of the times makes it difficult for Manchester City to rise overnight like Chelsea.
Excluding Chelsea, which has a certain team foundation, such as Terry and Lampard, half of the central axis is the "excellent legacy" of the Bates era.
Another point is that when Abramovich took charge of Chelsea, the new transfer rules had only just been implemented.
The impact of Chelsea's recruitment will be even greater.
Now it's not that easy.
And coupled with the rise of Leeds United.
If Manchester City cannot advance into the top four of the Premier League, it will not be able to cross the threshold of rapid development.
Leeds United made a series of substitutions.
When it’s time to train, train your troops.
They still have an important Champions League match to play in midweek.
Manchester City strengthened their defense and did not attack at a fast pace.
This resulted in Leeds United being unable to create a threat through counterattacks and fast breaks.
Royce, Gareth Bale and Suarez appeared one after another.
Manchester City's defensive pressure is reduced.
Kompany performed well in key defense.
But everyone also knows that he has not withstood the real test.
Manchester City's 5000 million pounds to buy Kompany must be a premium.
And there are many.
But without giving a super-premium offer, who would sell the player to Manchester City?
In the end, Leeds United defeated Blue Moon 4-0 at home.
After the game, Shen Hao shook hands with Mark Hughes and patted him on the arm to show encouragement.
Probably all the teams in the Premier League hope that Mark Hughes will always coach Manchester City.
In this case... Manchester City is less like a nouveau riche and more like a silly son of a landlord.
But this is not realistic.
I just hope he can coach one more day.
The biggest upset of this round of the Premier League occurred at Villa Park.
Aston Villa defeated Chelsea 2:1 at home!
Martin O'Neill's team can snipe BIG5 from time to time, and his coaching ability is admirable.
This also expanded Leeds United's lead over Chelsea from 1 point to 4 points.
Fleet Street was alarmed by the situation.
"It's starting, Bai Yi is starting to expand his lead!"
"Chelsea is affected by the FIFA virus!"
"Will Leeds' advantage expand to double digits before Christmas?"
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Leeds United defeated three of their BIG5 opponents in the first eight rounds.
Liverpool's current performance is the worst among the BIG5, so there are almost no obstacles in Leeds United's league schedule in the first half of the season.
This means that they are likely to wait for their opponents to make mistakes while on the road to great success!
...
News continues about Ronaldinho appearing in nightclubs from time to time.
It's just that he doesn't have fun in nightclubs until late at night like before.
Now most of them leave before 1 o'clock.
Although it has also missed the reasonable time that players should take a normal rest.
But at least he was able to catch up on training.
It's just that his performance in training has clearly begun to rank him at the bottom of the entire first team.
Shen Hao will give him verbal stimulation when summarizing after the training.
"Can you please stop being the tail end of the crane?"
Ronaldinho would cheerfully promise.
Then he had a good night's rest and went all out in training the next day and performed better.
It's just that this happens over and over again.
In other words, if his training status is expressed by a graph, it is like a wave, with ups and downs.
The overall trend is slightly downward.
Shen Hao really started to have a headache about this.
He couldn't imagine how bad Ronaldinho's condition would be without Leeds United's BUFF.
...
The third round of the Champions League group stage has arrived as scheduled.
The back-to-back contest between Leeds United and Bayern Munich is the most eye-catching battle in this group and even in this season's Champions League group stage.
Van Gaal made a comeback from the Netherlands, leading AZ Alkmaar to break the monopoly of the three local giants and use it as a springboard to return to Europe's top leagues and join the giant Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich's years of sluggishness in the European arena have finally made the Big Three determined to rebuild the team.
Franck Ribery and Robben, who spent 7500 million euros to take away from Real Madrid, quickly integrated into the team and showed strength in reducing dimensionality in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich is almost crushing the Bundesliga in a flat push. Its ambition to regain hegemony and its strength in reviving the European arena are hard to ignore.
Shen Hao expressed his importance to Bayern Munich before the game.
Rich clubs with a solid foundation always rebuild and revive quickly.
As long as you have the right direction, clear thinking, and patience, it will only be a matter of time before you get results.
As for whether he can ascend to the throne of European football, this cannot be forced.
Because you are getting stronger, other giants and overlords, there are always teams that do not choose to stand still or go backwards.
Van Gaal said before the game that challenging Leeds United was a test of Bayern Munich's overall strength.
Game day arrives.
At night, the Elland Road Stadium was bustling with people, the seats were full, and the atmosphere was overwhelming.
Leeds United faced off with their main lineup.
No important players are missing.
Bayern Munich also has elite players on the scene.
Goalkeeper: Bout.
Defenders: Lahm, Van Buyten, Badstuber, Altentop.
Midfielder: Van Bommel, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Tymoschuk.
Forwards: Robben, Klose, Ribery.
Except for the young player Badstuber who appears to be a weakness at center back, the players and formation structure at other positions can be said to be impeccable.
At least as far as Bayern Munich's own lineup is concerned, even if there are personnel adjustments, the overall strength will not change much.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of Leeds United fans, the game officially kicked off.
After the war started, Shen Hao paid attention to Bayern Munich's technical and tactical posture.
Van Gaal did not choose the most utilitarian extreme counter-attack, but was more pragmatic on the basis of balance.
The two teams entered the state and gradually got better, and then started a passionate tug-of-war between offense and defense.
Leeds United took the lead in attacking from the left, but Ronaldinho seemed to be stuck in a quagmire under the blockade of Lahm, Van Bommel and Van Buyten.
The zone defense pressure of Lahm and Van Bommel caused him to escape many times, but the ball ended up being destroyed at his feet.
Bayern Munich's fast break is simple and crude.
Bastian Schweinsteiger's midfield organization simply delivers the ball to the wings, either to Ribery or to Robben.
The threat of the two wingers cutting inside made Leeds United's midfield defense very difficult.
The combination of Modric and Ze Roberto prevented them from creating golden opportunities at best, but they still had no problem completing the shot.
When Ribery and Robben fired left and right, the moment to test Neuer came.
Neuer performed wonderful saves one after another, which made Leeds United fans frequently applaud.
However, the frequent occurrence of Bayern Munich's shots made Leeds United fans realize the problem belatedly.
“We seemed to have a hard time limiting these two shots.”
"Of course, we know best how good they are."
"Actually, the key is that there was a problem with our offense."
Of course Shen Hao could see it, and his heart sank.
Ronaldinho's personal threat was suppressed by Bayern Munich's defence.
Van Bommel's defense is fierce and decisive, while Lahm's defense is mainly about seizing the opportunity, one is hard and the other is soft. The combination makes Ronaldinho even embarrassed in controlling the ball.
Is Bayern Munich's defense too good?
Shen Hao was more willing to believe in his own judgment. It was Ronaldinho's condition that started to have problems.
Barely able to meet the training intensity and complete the training tasks.
In the competition, when you encounter a top-notch opponent, your flaws will be magnified infinitely!
In the 27th minute of the game, Leeds United's frontcourt offense was frustrated again.
The previous few shots completed were reluctant.
It seems to confirm that Ronaldinho can no longer create excellent opportunities for Leeds United's striker with points and points.
Bayern Munich's offense began to undergo derivative changes.
When Ribery dribbled in from the left side of the frontcourt to create a containment, he did not hesitate at all and sent a short pass to the left area in front of the penalty area.
Klose failed to advance in the penalty area but retreated. After turning around, Klose passed the ball diagonally back.
Robben made a strong cut inside and took a step forward with a stop. Helguera intercepted him head-on, but Robben diverted the ball to dodge, then spiked the ball and changed direction again.
Robben, who broke through Leeds United's defense, faced Neuer on the right side of the penalty spot. His shot aimed at the far corner of the goal was blocked by Neuer as he fell to the ground and stretched his legs.
Seeing that the football that popped out was about to roll out of the penalty area.
However, Ribery took possession of the ball before Modric, took a step inside and then fired a powerful shot into the lower left corner of the goal!
After scoring, Ribery ran to the visiting team fans to celebrate his goal.
Leeds United fans were silent.
Ribery has moved to Madrid after leaving Leeds United, so there is nothing wrong with him even if he celebrates scoring against his old club.
After all, Leeds United fans have long forgotten about him.
Now that they have forgotten, how can Ribery not be allowed to start over?
"Francis Ribery scored with a supplementary shot! This goal came...it's not surprising at all."
"Bayern Munich was more active and threatening than us on the offensive end today regardless of their state or performance."
"One thing to say, given the strength of Franck Ribery and Robben, in their own position, there is absolutely no problem in being among the top five in the world. Whether they are in the top three or not depends on their condition."
Van Gaal sat on the coaching bench with a pen and notebook and took notes from time to time.
After seeing the goal, he put down his pen, clenched his fist and shouted.
This goal was a great morale booster.
It is absolutely exciting for the Bundesliga giants, who have been in decline for a long time, to take the lead against the European hegemons.
Even Bayern Munich fans were overjoyed.
"We seem to be different this year!"
"Ribery and Robben are so good, and I would like to thank Leeds United for training them to be so good!"
"It's no use saying all this, we still have to see if we can win the championship!"
"It's too early to talk about the championship. How many teams can lead in goals at the home court of the European hegemon?"
Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He noticed that the ability development curve of Ribery and Robben after leaving Leeds United changed from decline to slow improvement. This season's ability improvement is very close to their previous peak.
This in itself shows that they left Real Madrid to join Bayern Munich, which has a positive stimulation and obvious improvement to their own strength.
Bayern Munich with Ribeiro combination.
It already possesses most of the basic hard power to challenge Leeds United's European dominance.
If they can further strengthen their lineup and improve their playing style, they will definitely become a big problem!
