Chapter 557: Noisy and silent, but still elegant!
In the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, the first half of Bayern Munich's home game against Leeds United came to an end.
Many Bayern Munich fans are already a little disappointed.
The total score of 4:7 on the big screen plunged them into despair.
The big three of Bayern Munich in the stands also looked sad.
If Van Gaal fails to lead Bayern Munich to eliminate Leeds United, it will almost be announced that Van Gaal will be dismissed at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich is a rational and ambitious club.
This can never be denied.
Maybe sometimes their steps are not so fast, but the direction is never wrong.
It's just that in different eras, there are only a few or one team that can stand at the top.
Bayern Munich also became the dominant player in European football during the Beckenbauer era.
They know very well that even if they are heading in the right direction, the conditions required to catch up with Leeds United, the hegemon of this era, in addition to their own efforts, also depend on Leeds United's rise and fall cycle.
If Leeds United does not fall from the altar.
No matter how hard the vast majority of teams work, they are not even qualified to stand at the top and compete with them!
Those with experience must have seen that Leeds United have not really been forced to give everything they have in order to win.
This can be seen from the white tyrant's formation and on-the-spot adjustments.
When will the tyrant in white be able to show his ability to lead the Dutch team to the World Cup finals, then he will be completely pushed to the limit.
After the results of the top 16 draw came out, some voices from the outside world inevitably lamented that Leeds United and Bayern Munich met too early.
If the giants meet before the top 8, it will inevitably affect the influence of the knockout rounds after the top 8.
But Shen Hao didn't thank UEFA for giving them a good opponent until the end of the first round.
It is enough for Leeds United to complete a major test before April and draw lessons from it to improve their technical and tactical system.
The so-called skills and tactics have never been something that the coach can figure out in his head and explain clearly to the players, so that the team can understand them.
In the step-by-step process, from running in and forming to maturing to being tested and perfected, in addition to the team, there are also factors such as the growth of players' personal abilities and accumulation of experience.
The ideal growth should be to get stronger as you fight.
Becoming stronger and stronger.
Opponents are getting stronger and stronger.
But reality doesn’t always play out this way.
Now that Leeds United meets Bayern Munich, it will also take time to digest the growth experience that facing a strong opponent can bring.
If they meet them in the top 8 or top 4, I'm afraid Leeds United will have a short time to digest.
As long as they pass Bayern Munich today, Leeds United will have enough time to digest and consolidate the gains from the round of 16.
In the second half, both teams returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.
Leeds United did not reduce the intensity of their pressure, while Bayern Munich arranged a more detailed coordination of offense and defense transitions.
Robben and Ribery retreated to the backcourt in a wide range and launched a fast break from one side depending on the situation.
Finally, people can see that Bayern Munich has a decent organization and advancement after switching from defense to offense.
But Leeds were not caught off guard in their defensive response.
Because they are still structurally able to block Bayern Munich.
The core defensive thinking has not changed.
Block the source of the organization, cut off advancement and support, and look for opportunities to launch encirclement and suppression.
In the rapid transition between offense and defense, in order to stifle Leeds United's offensive threat, Bayern Munich's players could only resort to tactical fouls.
It seemed difficult for both teams to threaten, and the game fell into a stalemate.
However, Leeds United has a three-goal lead at this time and naturally does not need to fight Bayern Munich.
If they really have to fight, Bayern Munich will be at a greater disadvantage the further the game goes.
After 60 minutes of the game, Gareth Bale and Deisler changed positions.
It's up to Gareth Bale to block Lahm.
10 minutes later, Royce came on to replace Deisler.
Leeds United consciously began to control the tempo.
The idea of scoring one more goal wasn't obvious.
Van Gaal stood on the sidelines knowing that the end was over.
But the embarrassment of Bayern Munich not being able to score a single goal at home will definitely embarrass the German class tyrants!
So Bayern Munich launched a desperate attack after 75 minutes of the game.
The strong pressure of the overall formation can indeed bring chaos to Leeds United's defense.
When Planic delivered a through ball to Ribery in the frontcourt, the latter got rid of Kyle Walker and successfully countered offside. He reached the edge of the penalty area and sent a precise cross.
The football flew through an arc to the right rib area of the penalty area. Robben, who ran towards the ball, volleyed with his left foot without stopping the ball!
The football shot towards the ground in the small penalty area in front of the goal, hit the ground hard and then bounced into the near corner of the goal!
Neuer was unable to do anything about this ball-bounce save.
"Bayern Munich recovers a goal! World-class connection between Robben and Ribery!"
"This shot was really crisp, exciting and beautiful!"
"Bayern Munich reduced the deficit to two goals. Is hope back?"
Leeds United responded quickly.
Suarez retreated in the middle of the frontcourt and cooperated with Modric and Kaká in a triangle pass. Royce and Kaká, who was advancing, directly countered the offside and advanced. At the same time, Modric's overhead pass passed just right. Over the heads of Bayern Munich's backline.
Royce volleyed the ball in the right rib area of the penalty area and pushed it towards the center. Kaka volleyed directly without stopping the ball in the middle of the penalty area!
The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Kraft threw up his hands in surrender.
Cold sweat couldn't stop pouring out from all parts of the body.
"Wow! Kaka scored twice! Not only did Leeds United re-extend their lead to 3 goals, they also scored 4 away goals!"
"Bayern Munich should know very well that if they want to fight a head-to-head battle, then they are no match for Leeds United in terms of organizational creativity."
"Yes, they can hurt Leeds United, but if they throw a punch, Leeds United will at least give them a combination of punches!"
Bayern Munich fans are disheartened.
There are 10 minutes left in the game.
But they also know very well that Bayern Munich had better not move at this time.
The more you move, the more it hurts!
Van Gaal did not give the team new instructions. In fact, he was telling the team to stop when enough is enough.
Score a face-saving goal, that's it.
After the goal just now, it looked like we were two goals behind, but it was actually 1.5 goals behind.
Because if they equalize the score, then Bayern Munich will advance.
But Leeds United returned a ball.
The situation is different.
Can Bayern Munich still score three goals in a row?
Not to mention whether there is enough time.
How many goals will Leeds United score?
Most Bayern Munich players actually understand this.
So become cautious.
Leeds United then used their last two substitutions.
Rakitic and Eriksen appear.
Gareth Bale and Kaka come off.
Royce goes to face Lahm, and Suarez stays in the middle.
Improved midfield control.
Bayern Munich's counterattack intensity is very limited.
The game is settled.
Leeds United beat Bayern Munich 4-1 at the Allianz Arena.
With a total score of 8:5, they eliminated their opponents and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
When the game came to an end, Shen Hao turned and walked towards Van Gaal who looked stiff. After the two shook hands, Shen Hao only smiled when he left.
The change in his expression was captured by the live camera.
Many viewers in front of the screen were in a daze.
The most talked about thing about Leeds United in the past three weeks is that the dynasty is coming to an end!
This is football, this is competitive sports.
Just let outsiders feel that you are not good enough.
It was a real swell of madness.
And as long as it can show "I'm okay."
It seems that the whole world will return to its quiet and beautiful state.
The harsh noise fell into silence, and those who were ready to add insult to injury disappeared without a trace.
There are actually some people in the media who are quite calm and rational.
Shen Hao was talking about Bayern Munich from the end of the first round to before the second round.
His compliments were sugar-coated.
This happened to be just right to paralyze Bayern Munich.
Facing the media again after the game, Shen Hao praised his team and then complimented Bayern Munich.
He sincerely believes that Bayern Munich is a good opponent regardless of the time point or the intensity of the opponent.
After the game, Van Gaal faced the media and found himself in a dilemma.
He also praised Leeds United, but was questioned angrily by German reporters.
"Bayern Munich achieved a very good result in the first round and faced Leeds United at home with a certain advantage. But you thought that as long as the team performed the same as in the first round, they could eliminate Leeds United. Didn't you realize before the game? Is this naive?”
With hindsight or hindsight, countless crimes can be pinned on the losing side.
If you lose, you lose.
Van Gaal couldn't defend himself.
Because everything is pale.
Leeds United triumph.
The tide of public opinion changed immediately.
"The White Dynasty will never die! Leeds United will use their dominance to destroy Bayern Munich!"
"Victorious counterattack against Munich, Leeds United showed the Bundesliga giants what it means to be strong!"
"Van Gaal is scheduled to be dismissed at the end of the season, and Bayern Munich has begun contacting Heynckes!"
...
The next day, the Champions League quarterfinals were announced.
Leeds United faced last season's Champions League final opponent Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals!
Manchester United and Chelsea staged a civil war in England.
Arsenal and Real Madrid battle each other.
In the Champions League quarter-finals, four Premier League teams appear again.
But looking at the division, there are three teams in the same half zone, Arsenal is in the half zone where Real Madrid is, and Barcelona is in the half zone...
Leeds United host Birmingham City this weekend.
Birmingham, struggling in the relegation zone, worked hard to score points and set up an iron barrel formation in the White Temple.
Leeds United bombed wildly for 90 minutes. In the end, Kaká and Gareth Bale each scored a goal for the team to win 2:0.
At the end of the 30th round of the Premier League, Leeds United has a record of 24 wins and 6 draws, leading the standings.
With eight rounds left in the league, Fleet Street no longer has any expectations for a suspenseful change in the league title.
Perhaps the only suspense is how early Leeds United will complete its sixth consecutive Premier League title.
The fifa match day in November is here.
Shen Hao can take advantage of this time to take a short vacation for himself.
He took Bai Muxin and Shen Zhiping to Portimao.
Two-month-old Shen Miao was still lying on the crib and could not turn over.
But it’s not like before where I spent most of the day sleeping.
Xiao Shixia would bring some small toys to coax her, and occasionally hearing her laughter would make the whole family infected.
"Brother, give me some advice."
Shen Yao, who was already over four years old, took Shen Hao to the backyard, putting his warm and happy time on hold, and was forced to work overtime at the store to teach him his skills.
In football, in addition to the technical specifications of basic skills, practice makes perfect.
Dutch football once had a school whose core idea was "genius can be made."
Through repeated training of technical skills, an ordinary player can become a top league player in a few years.
Top stars of the era such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, etc. cannot be created through pure training.
That school of Dutch football is just giving direction to ordinary players.
But its core application is not overstated for all players.
Just like the core of "The Ten Thousand Hours of Genius Theory", no matter what you do, if you study it with concentration, the accumulated proficiency can turn a layman into a professional. The premise is that these 100 hours are not perfunctory, but % invested.
Therefore, Leeds United's high-intensity training coincides with these ideas and theories.
No matter what position or role you play, you have to work hard first.
Enough sweat has flowed, let’s talk about talent.
After Shen Hao taught Shen Yao some technical moves, he gave Shen Yao an ideological education class.
"If you want to have great shooting skills, you must first accumulate enough shots in training."
"Man, how much is that?"
"When you are a child, you should do 100 times on each foot every day. Every year, increase it to 10 times a day. After you are 10 years old, it will be 200 times a day."
"I can do 200 times a day right now."
"No, don't overdo it. You are still growing, so you have to listen to advice on this matter."
"Ok."
Shen Hao sat in the courtyard and watched Shen Yao practice shooting again and again. He felt a little emotional that this monster was really outrageous.
In his opinion, Shen Yao is definitely at least two levels above his peers in the Super League.
Whether it's the feel of the ball when he bounces the ball, or the lack of stiffness when dribbling and shooting.
Maybe this is talent.
Shen Hao didn't have it, so he couldn't understand it.
His memory of playing football as a child is very vague, but he must have gradually moved from playing around to professional training. He was a bit confused before the age of 10.
Even though Shen Guoqiang was already a coach at that time.
But looking back now, the coaches at that time really didn’t have much scientific content.
Infinitely close to a physical education teacher.
But the current Shen Yao is different.
From the moment he started to get involved with football, whether he was watching games or playing by himself, he had professional guidance around him.
Shen Guoqiang is no longer at the level of a physical education teacher who was actually a physical education teacher in the guise of a football coach.
Shen Hao just didn't know whether instilling too much professional knowledge into Shen Yao prematurely would make him lose the joy of playing football.
Football is definitely the most entertaining competitive sport among civilians. If the joy brought by entertainment cannot be obtained from it, then the driving force from the heart will inevitably become unsatisfactory.
Shen Hao was actually confused about this.
Maybe he should learn from some coaches who have been rooted in youth training for many years.
