Chapter 448 Start over, destiny returns!
"The tyrant in white has completely given up on Ronaldinho!"
"A feast of 14 goals, but the tyrant claims to be the worst in history!"
"Leeds United conceded 7 goals in a single game and also made history!"
Chelsea narrowed the points gap with Leeds United.
Leeds United's lead is reduced to 2 points.
The buzz is that Ronaldinho, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes at White Hart Lane, has become an outcast in the hands of the tyrant.
Manchester City started to get really anxious.
If it comes time for Leeds United to actually list Ronaldinho.
They are confident that they will be the team with the highest bid.
But Ronaldinho may face more choices and may not be willing to join Manchester City.
And whether Leeds United will release Ronaldinho to Manchester City after Kompany is also a suspense that makes Manchester City's top management unsure.
After a night of relaxation, Shen Hao solemnly addressed the team at the game summary meeting after recovery training the next day.
"We must start over, down to earth, and everyone, including me, must lower our posture and rebuild a strong white team."
Shen Hao, whose thinking became clear again, recognized the reality clearly.
Compared to the past two years, Leeds United still has an aging squad.
That doesn't change based on how successful it has been in the past.
The strong period of assists from both backs by Belletti and Van Bronckhorst has passed.
Ronaldinho will also fly away.
Leeds United's strong defensive midfielder period ended after Roy Keane and Simeone left. It's time to really face and solve the problems in the defensive midfielder position.
They have Kanter, but a Kanter who has not grown up still means that their problems have not been solved.
Ronaldo is experiencing a smooth landing at the end of his career after transforming into a pure shooter.
Compared to the past, Leeds United's strongest player now is the midfielder.
Modric and Kaká, two top superstars, are their biggest support.
If they perform well, Ronaldo will get more opportunities.
The Leeds United generals did not fall into depression because Shen Hao announced a "restart".
The Mesozoic generation will become the backbone supporting the team, and the new generation must stand out and strive to soar to the top.
Shen Hao did not wait until the day when everything was empty before he started over.
Accelerating the construction of a new generation will not only give young players playing time and opportunities.
There are also supporting technical and tactical system adjustments and character design.
...
Leeds United will face a life-and-death battle in the Champions League group stage in midweek.
A life and death battle, such a situation occurred in the group stage. This is something Leeds United has never encountered since entering the Champions League during the Tyrant era.
But the 7-point situation between Bayern Munich, Leeds United, and Juventus has indeed brought them to this point.
Due to the results of the match, they are at a disadvantage against Bayern Munich.
Leeds United must at least get an unbeaten result when facing Juventus.
If they lose at home, they may ultimately miss the top 16.
There is a lot of talk from the outside world that Ronaldinho has absolutely no future at Leeds United.
In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage in midweek, Leeds United faced Juventus at Elland Road in the starting lineup, and Ronaldinho was among them.
Leeds United in the 433 system.
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Deisler form a trident.
Modric, Kaká, and Seth Johnson form a midfield three.
Van Bronckhorst, Helguera, Thiago Silva and Belletti form the back line.
Neuer guards the goal.
Juventus' starting lineup has also changed.
Mainly playing 4312, they changed their faces on the offensive end. Diego, Amauri, and Del Piero formed the attack group.
Leeds United fans cheered in the stands with a hint of apprehension.
Seeing Ronaldinho starting, they didn't know whether this was the tyrant's helpless choice, or whether Ronaldinho and the club had settled their differences.
Leeds United is no longer as aggressive as in the past, but is playing steadily and step by step.
Juventus was passive for a long time under the control of the Leeds United midfielder's calm and relaxed situation.
The occasional sporadic fast breaks failed to make waves in the frontcourt.
Leeds United did not bombard Wanli like a tiger in anger.
Even though that kind of devastation in one battle is enjoyable, it will add more uncertainties to the current Leeds United and put the defense under huge pressure.
If they are in good condition, they can play well.
Their form is average, and if their opponents are in good form, the situation may get out of hand.
A truly strong team is in good shape and wins naturally, as a matter of course.
Even if the state is not good, no matter what the trend is, you can win in the end!
This is what better reflects the head coach's ability.
Otherwise, the results will just depend on the strength and condition of the team. How will the head coach's ability be reflected?
If it were anyone else, the difference would be the same.
Ronaldinho seems a little less aura than before on the court, but is more willing to make wedding clothes for his teammates, as if he has been tamed by the tactical discipline of European football and has become obedient.
With technical strength as a foundation, Ronaldinho's performance is naturally outstanding.
All that's missing is the unique explosion operation.
Leeds United's output has always been very stable, constantly creating opportunities through patient organization and passing. The occasional acceleration and sudden surprises also come from Kaka or the full-backs inserting assists at long intervals.
The first half was a see-saw affair.
Leeds United's offensive threat exploded in the second half.
Juventus can remain patient and prepare to show off again in the final stages of the game.
Ferrara knew that Juventus did not have the strength to fight Leeds United with their lives from the beginning of the game.
The Old Lady's technical and tactical style also did not allow them to take the initiative to increase the rhythm of the game and make the situation get out of control.
But before Juventus could hold back enough to take action, Leeds United had already blasted their left wing.
Grosso only performed magic in the 2006 World Cup, and it seemed that he had exhausted all the glory and highlights in his entire career.
After 2006, he was still an inconspicuous and even mediocre left back most of the time, rather than a "great left back".
Deisler, supported by Modric and Belletti, cut inside from the right side of the frontcourt and successfully connected.
When Chiellini stepped in to intercept the ball, he passed the ball back to the center with ease.
Kaká stepped into the penalty area and changed the direction of the ball to create an angle. Buffon, who had been unable to penetrate the ten-finger gap with his ordinary attack shots before, faced Kaká this time with a swinging leg shot and blasted the ball towards the upper right corner of the goal.
He fought hard to save, but was unable to save the situation!
The Elland Road stadium was filled with cheers!
"Kaka! Finally broke the deadlock!"
"Even if it's a life-and-death battle, it's a battle where Leeds United lives and Juventus lives and dies!"
"Leeds United showed an absolutely stable attitude today, which is very reasonable. We may not win at home, but we must not lose!"
Leeds United 1:0 Juventus.
Ferrara looked heavy, and Juventus players and fans looked ugly.
The situation became more difficult and dangerous for them at this moment.
After Leeds United took the lead, they obviously slightly improved their defense and scene control.
For Leeds United, as long as they win this game, they can basically advance in advance.
Unless they lost to Maccabi Haifa in the last round, Juventus defeated Bayern Munich.
Then the situation may become very complicated by then.
Because of Bayern Munich's strength, it is a sure bet to defeat Maccabi Haifa in this round.
If the three teams end up with the same points, it will be a cycle to compare each other's records, and then compare the goal difference and the like, then there will be variables.
When the game approached 70 minutes, Juventus had to bite the bullet and launch a strong attack.
Even if they draw with Leeds United on the road, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated, let alone now they have to reverse the game.
The difficulty can be imagined.
Leeds United were waiting for them to launch a counterattack.
Just after the 75th minute of the game, Leeds United defended successfully in the backcourt and quickly moved from defense to offense to the frontcourt. Ronaldinho dribbled from the wing and cut inside, which turned Juventus' defense upside down.
At the moment when chaos emerged and flaws were exposed, Ronaldinho calmly used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the ball to the left rib area of the penalty area.
Ronaldo unloaded the ball from his chest in a diagonal move, then half-turned and swept the ball towards the front and back points of the goal.
This shocked Buffon, who was trying to block Ronaldo's shooting angle. He turned around and rushed towards the far post, but it was already beyond his reach.
Deisler outflanked and shot the ball into the empty goal in front of him!
"Swift fast break, wonderful coordination! Leeds United won another victory at home and sealed the victory!"
"Although Ronaldinho didn't have an explosive performance today, he still performed very well. Maybe the differences and conflicts between him and the club have disappeared!"
"Hopefully, if Ronaldinho, who is not yet 30 years old, can focus on the game, he will be at his peak in at least two years."
Leeds United 2:0 Juventus.
Ferrara sighed on the sidelines.
Leeds United conceded 7 goals in a single game in the last round of the Premier League, which was considered a sensation in European football.
But as long as Leeds United pays more attention to defense, there are still not many opponents who can stand a chance in front of them.
Obviously Juventus is not one of them.
Shen Hao made substitutions step by step.
Gareth Bale replaces Deisler.
Suarez replaces Ronaldo.
Kanter replaces Seth Johnson.
After Leeds United made substitutions, Juventus' counterattack continued.
However, as Leeds United tightened its defense, although Juventus created some threats in the middle, it was not fatal enough.
Kanter is relatively embarrassed in defense. It can be seen to the naked eye that he is still very immature. Whether it is defensive ability or experience, he is still far behind.
If it weren't for the shrinking of Leeds United's defense, his inability to block Diego's flaw might have resulted in catastrophe.
Leeds United's counterattack maintained its speed and impact threat.
After 85 minutes of the game, when Ronaldinho advanced on the left side of the frontcourt and formed a containment, he suddenly pulled the ball back and sent an overhead cross.
Suarez stepped forward to stop the ball and immediately volleyed.
Buffon made a heroic save to block the ball.
Just bad luck.
The blocked football happened to be controlled by Gareth Bale who was cutting in to follow up. After stopping the ball, Gareth Bale moved the ball on the spot and made a cross cut and then blasted the ball out with his left foot!
The football flew towards the far corner of the goal. Buffon, who went to save again in a short period of time, was not fully prepared. In the end, he saved to the limit but failed!
"Gareth Bale scored his first goal in the Champions League! And it was goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon who scored the goal!"
"This goal must have a very strong motivational effect on him!"
"Leeds United leads Juventus 3:0. This result can bring us closer to advancing in advance!"
Gareth Bale smiled and ran to the sidelines with his arms spread wide to enjoy the cheers of the fans.
At this moment, his eyes were as bright as stars.
Shen Hao transformed him into a winger, and now he has found the feeling!
It’s like destiny has returned!
The Juventus general and fans are very frustrated.
At the same time, the struggle and resistance in the death group will also come to an end.
There is not much time left in the game.
Juventus' offensive still failed to test Neuer.
This contest once again showed the gap between Juventus and the top teams.
The final whistle sounded.
The game comes to an end.
Shen Hao stood up and shook hands with Ferrara after the game and then turned and left.
At the post-match press conference, reporters asked whether Ronaldinho playing the entire game meant there were no longer any problems between them.
Shen Hao asked knowingly: "Were there any problems before? He retained his strength and did not play in the last league game just to play against Juventus today."
The reporters at the scene were stunned for a while.
Just looking at Ronaldinho's enthusiasm in participating in the celebration after his teammates scored today, you can see that his feeling in this team is completely different from the past.
Another point is that people cannot see the interaction between Ronaldinho and Shen Hao.
Not to mention dialogue, there is no eye contact in public.
No matter how reporters ask.
Shen Hao insisted that there was no problem between them anyway, especially since Ronaldinho performed very well today, leaving reporters unable to attack.
If Ronaldinho fails, there will be great things to watch.
In another match in the same group, Bayern Munich defeated Maccabi Haifa.
After 5 rounds, the qualifying situation of this group became clear.
Bayern Munich 10 points.
Leeds United 10 points.
Juventus 7 points.
Maccabi Haifa has 1 point.
In the last round, unless Leeds United lost to Maccabi Haifa and Juventus defeated Bayern Munich by a big score, then Leeds United would be eliminated.
However, judging from the current situation, Leeds United is very comfortable.
As long as they don't lose to Maccabi Haifa, they will definitely advance to the top 16 of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich and Juventus will have an ultimate life-and-death battle in the final game of the group stage.
Because once Leeds United does not lose to Maccabi Haifa.
Juventus defeated Bayern Munich at home. Juventus was able to beat Bayern Munich to advance with the same points.
The suspense of promotion to the Death Group will not be settled until the last moment.
On Thursday night, Shen Hao played cards with Chen Hao, Tang Jinyu, Chris Jones, and Ronaldo in the casino room of Modern City.
Ronaldo asked Shen Hao: "Boss, my intuition tells me that there is no conflict between you and Ronaldinho as reported by the outside world. What on earth are you doing?"
Shen Hao smiled and said nothing.
At this time, a waiter came over and bent down to whisper a few words in Shen Hao's ear. Shen Hao nodded and replied: "Bring him in, he is my friend."
After a while, Assis, whose face was red and glowing, entered the private room with great interest, and greeted everyone after seeing them one by one.
Ronaldo knew his instincts were right when he saw Assis.
In the exaggerated reports in Fleet Street, Shen Hao and Ronaldinho are in the same boat.
But seeing Ronaldinho's brother running so happily to see Shen Hao, if the paparazzi from Fleet Street discovered it, they would definitely be shocked.
