Chapter 337: Still made a mistake, zoomed in at the beginning?
Reading, which has survived for two years in the Premier League by relying on a brutal and rough confrontational style, is facing a relegation crisis that it cannot survive this season.
It's not uncommon in football to see one move succeed all over the world.
It can be as small as a player's ability to conquer the world with one and a half moves, or it can be as big as a team's unwavering style that can stand firm.
But Reading's desire to survive in the Premier League simply by being rough is a bit naive.
The increase in the Premier League broadcast share will increase the team's income, which will eventually increase the cost of team building.
More expensive players, higher lineup value, stronger strength, and more valuable technical and tactical team characteristics.
In the process, Reading's style became a household name.
There aren't many secrets to speak of, and it's not that other teams are not good at it, but that they are unwilling to do so.
What is the end of savagery?
It's obviously not a straight road.
The team building plan for sustainable development always pursues a spiral upward trajectory.
Reading did not actively transform and improve its strength when it was prosperous, so it can't blame itself for being eliminated from the Premier League.
When the times abandon it, it will not even say hello.
Leeds United showed calmness and ease in controlling the rhythm of the game when facing Reading who needed points at home.
If Reading is only passively beaten, their relegation risk will only increase rather than decrease.
You can't expect all other relegation opponents to lose, right?
So when Reading couldn't help but start to show aggressive pressing, Leeds United accelerated the fast break to create a lethal threat.
Ma Kai, who played Ronaldo in rotation, received Deisler's cross in the penalty area and scored the goal.
The Reading fans were pale.
Reading coach Kuper is overwhelmed.
It seems that they are greeted by relegation, and Leeds United, who were once on the same starting line as them, are now a towering giant that they cannot shake.
Shen Hao looked indifferent.
Playing in Reading, a relegation zone, will not make him complacent, let alone show off his power.
As for the feud between Leeds United and Reading on the field.
Maybe it will be gradually forgotten as Reading gets relegated.
After all, it will not be easy to meet in the future. It depends on the luck of the local cup.
Reading wanted to use rough fighting to gain an advantage on the field, but Leeds United's quick passing movement made their opponents unable to even touch their jerseys.
When Reading presses too hard, Leeds United's fast break is naturally more threatening.
Before the end of the first half, Deisler reached the left rib area of the penalty area and successfully received the ball. After completing the breakthrough with a series of dunks, he was turned around and swept to the ground by the Reading defender.
The referee blew the whistle for a penalty kick.
Kuper yelled excitedly at the fourth official.
"That's not a penalty! It's a dive! Leeds United players are a bunch of liars!"
Shen Hao heard his roar not far away.
Like a cry of despair.
He didn't get angry, but smiled and shook his head without any concealment.
The thief shouted, "Stop the thief."
He is obviously a liar and is good at deceiving himself and others, so why should he throw dirty water on Leeds United?
Robben took the penalty kick and pushed the ball calmly and smoothly into the far corner of the goal.
Leeds United lead Reading 2:0.
After the game entered the second half, the trend of the game was relatively flat.
Reading could not steal the ball from Leeds United, who controlled the tempo with ease.
Shen Hao made early substitutions, and there was still the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals four days later.
Leeds United strengthened defense and scene control after substitutions.
The offensive threat has declined significantly.
But Reading organized the offense relatively simply.
The consecutive attempts failed to create a threat and simply allowed the fans to watch.
When the final whistle blew, Reading fans were in a state of panic.
Is the team really going to be relegated?
At least the current situation is not good for them.
Shen Hao was asked by reporters after the game if he would watch the match between Chelsea and Manchester United.
He said casually: "The pressure is not on our side. I said I hope Manchester United will not make mistakes."
The Leeds Tyrant is still full of confidence. No matter how much Fleet Street targets Leeds United on weekdays, it still fully expects the Leeds Tyrant to be trampled by thousands of people. At least the Leeds Tyrant's courage is unique in the Premier League and even European football.
The team resumed training the next day.
After the training, Shen Hao went to Portimao.
He gave the team a day off.
So I was able to spend a little more than a full day in Portimão.
When he came to Portimão, Tan Youyou had been staying here for nearly a week.
Shen Yao, who is almost one and a half years old, plays with toys in the living room with Shen Xiuqi, who is half a year old.
Looking at the toys that the uncle and nephew had piled up in a space of seven to eight square meters, Shen Hao couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
If he had so many toys when he was a child, he would be absolutely happy.
Shen Guoqiang's life has been quite good recently.
Portimao completed the relegation task early in the Portuguese Super League and ranked in the middle of the league.
In the evening, when the family was sitting together for dinner, Shen Guoqiang and Shen Hao had a few drinks.
"Son, Perisic from Croatia is really good. There are also three German players who came last year. Although they have no talent, they are really tough guys who dare to fight. The young Bender brothers are now the best players in our team. Midfield barrier.”
Shen Guoqiang drank a glass of wine and smacked his mouth with pleasure.
Then Shen Hao asked him a heart-wrenching sentence.
"How are the Chinese players performing?"
Shen Guoqiang sighed when he mentioned this.
"It's not that good...I struggle every day. Should I put them in the first team? Then I can only watch the water dispenser. Why don't I put them in the first team? I can't supervise their training at all times."
"Haha, let's not let them fend for themselves. At least the platform and environment have been created for them. As for whether they have a firm belief and are willing to endure loneliness and give their all, this is beyond our control. I I think it’s better not to have too high expectations, and it’s better to leave the Chinese players to Xiao Zheyuan’s people. They themselves are not doing this with the lofty ideal of cultivating talents for Chinese football.”
Shen Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh.
"That's what I say, but I just feel it's a pity. You said that if there were Portuguese Super League teams 20 years ago or 10 years ago to provide conditions and opportunities for domestic players, then our Chinese national team would not be at least one level stronger? "
"Don't just drink, eat some hot food."
Shen Hao didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
His father still has the feelings of family and country on the green field.
Shen Hao is very realistic.
Just talking about dedication, Chinese players are far inferior to European football players in terms of basic contributions.
This has nothing to do with physical fitness or talent.
It’s just pure giving.
Time, energy, endure loneliness, overcome inertia.
So... Mud can't hold up the wall, so why bother?
Playing football is never easy.
A very small number of players are talented players who are blessed by God.
And most players' success relies on great perseverance.
Not to mention his football skills and his tactical literacy.
Most of the players in the top leagues of European football have endurance comparable to marathon runners, strength far beyond ordinary people, and bodies that can switch to the gym as a coach at any time.
These are the basics.
If the foundation is not solid, it will never have anything to do with others.
Shen Hao didn't want his father to be obsessed with this and cause trouble.
After dinner, Shen Hao played and interacted with Shen Xiuqi in the living room for a while.
But Shen Yao went to play football in the backyard. He wanted to vent his energy, otherwise he would stay awake until midnight.
Tan Youyou sat next to Shen Hao and peeled fruit for him, peeling and feeding him. She occasionally glanced at him, showing her charming style.
The autumn eyes of Ru Shui are like thousands of words, all of which are love words that can make people sick to death.
After putting Shen Xiuqi to sleep on a small bed at night, Shen Hao also prepared to go to bed and rest.
Tan Youyou couldn't wait any longer. She put on her silk pajamas and knelt on the bed. Her charming expression was irresistible.
He stood by the bed, looked at Tan Youyou, and then at the small bed next to the big bed.
It would be quite embarrassing if my son woke up.
The movements between the two of them were not earth-shattering, but they were by no means silent.
Shen Hao brought a quilt, opened it and wrapped Tan Youyou up. With Tan Youyou's puzzled expression, Shen Hao stepped forward and hugged her, rolled her over, and the two of them rolled under the bed on the other side.
Tan Youyou straightened up and glanced at Shen Xiuqi on the small bed, then leaned down and hugged Shen Hao tightly.
A protracted war began.
...
"Manchester United drew with Chelsea away from home! 2 points behind Leeds United at the top of the table!"
"Manchester United has no room for mistakes!"
"Leeds United are just a stone's throw away from three consecutive titles!"
Chelsea drew 2:2 with Manchester United at home.
In fact, it was Manchester United who drew with Chelsea.
Without Ronaldo's savior at the last moment.
Maybe the suspense of the Premier League title disappeared the moment the game ended.
Leeds United not only leads Manchester United by 2 points, but also has a 6-point advantage in goal difference.
Looking at it now, the goal difference advantage may no longer be meaningful.
Shen Hao returned to Leeds with physical and mental pleasure and a bit of exhaustion.
He didn't watch the Manchester United game.
Just spending time with my family.
As for Leeds United, they are 2 points ahead.
In his view, it cannot be said that there is no meaning, but it is not decisive.
Because Leeds United and Manchester United will meet in the final game of the league.
As long as the winner is determined, the winner will be the champion.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone from the two teams would pull their hips in the penultimate round, which would change the situation again.
The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals has arrived as scheduled.
Leeds United are ready.
Before the game, Shen Hao just reminded the team not to take it lightly.
There's not much else to say.
This battle was called by the Spanish media as "the battle that determined Rijkaard's fate."
If Barcelona can't make a comeback away from home.
Then it is certain that Rijkaard will be dismissed after the season.
The first day of May.
When the lights first came on, the Elland Road stadium was packed.
The overwhelming attendance made Shen Hao lament after entering the stadium that the stadium could not accommodate the fanatical Leeds United fans.
They need a bigger stadium!
As for the votes from shareholders on Leeds China's official website, the overall situation has basically been decided, but the final deadline has not been reached.
More than 70% of shareholders agreed to the plan to build a new stadium.
The starters of both teams enter the field.
Shen Hao looked at Barcelona's starting lineup, wondering in his heart, and looked at Barcelona's bench again.
Just looking at Henry on the bench.
Henry's expression revealed a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly looked away.
Shen Hao also withdrew his gaze and shook his head slightly.
How come Highbury's gun king went to Barcelona and couldn't even play as a main player?
Does Rijkaard have a problem with Henry?
Leeds United's starting lineup today surprised Rijkaard and Barcelona fans.
"Van Bronckhorst and Belletti are back from injury! And they are still starting!"
"Hahaha, we can definitely compete with Barcelona today!"
"Yes, we are two goals ahead and there is no reason for us to be afraid of Barcelona."
Leeds United's starting lineup is 433.
Goalkeeper: Toldo.
Defenders: Belletti, Kompany, Helguera, Van Bronckhorst.
Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Ze Roberto.
Forwards: Robben, Ronaldo, Deisler.
Compared with the first round, the starting two full-backs were replaced.
Barcelona's starting number was also 433.
Goalkeeper: Valdes.
Defenders: Zambrotta, Puyol, Gabriel Milito, Abidal.
Midfielder: Xavi, Deco, Yaya Toure.
Forwards: Messi, Eto'o, Iniesta.
Compared to the first leg, Barcelona's only change is that Puyol replaced Max.
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially kicked off.
Barcelona needs to score at least two goals to have any hope of coming back.
So we actively launched an offensive from the beginning.
When Messi moved away from Deisler, and after receiving the ball, the fried ball changed direction and wiped Ze Roberto. When Van Bronckhorst helped defend the center, Messi crossed the ball.
It looked a bit like Robben's cross-cutting posture, but when Jamie Redknapp was about to press, Messi quickly changed direction and entered the penalty area with his left foot.
Kompany and Helguera quickly closed the door to defend.
Jamie Redknapp was a little stunned.
Messi's change of direction simply defies physics, as if he has no speed inertia and can turn as he pleases!
I'm afraid Newton's coffin boards won't be able to hold it down!
He moved the ball across the penalty area again and then took a shot.
Shen Hao was shocked.
No way?
A big move right from the start?
This is the home ground of Leeds United. Don’t I want to lose face?
Under the spotlight, the football flew into the stands grazing the outside of the left goal post.
Messi looked up to the sky and sighed.
Barcelona fans sighed.
Leeds United fans rubbed their eyes.
Was it just a hallucination?
I almost got killed by a dragon!
Shen Hao did not dare to be careless and quickly signaled to the team.
As long as the player's ability exceeds 190, the horse riding will definitely have unique destructive power!
Once you are in excellent condition, you will be like a nuclear weapon on the court!
Destruction!
Leeds United strengthened its marking of Messi, and at the same time further restricted the connection between Xavi and Deco and Messi compared with the first round.
Cut off their passing lanes.
Trying to completely cut Messi out of Barcelona's offensive system.
Messi's opening performance gave Barcelona hope.
Rijkaard was lost in thought.
If we re-formulate techniques and tactics from the beginning of the season and build a team around Messi.
Could it be that Barcelona will not reach the situation where it is hopeless to compete for the league title early today?
Can they perform better against Leeds United?
But even now it's too late to regret.
Time cannot be turned back.
