Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 378 Strong bones, strong rebound!

After scoring the third goal, Leeds United made substitutions.

Rakitic, Mackay and Kilgallon appeared one after another.

Leeds United maintained a defensive posture, which made Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre hate Leeds United even more.

It seems that if a strong team defends against counterattacks, it must be invincible.

But in fact, not all strong teams can achieve impeccable results in counterattack.

For most of the defeated players, they are not willing to analyze the victory of the strong team in depth, as if it has no practical reference significance for them.

In European football, no one currently pays attention to Leeds United's defensive counterattack system.

It seems that this is just a prudent training or a go-for-moment strategy by the Leeds tyrants.

But on the other side of the world in South American football, Simeone, once a very good assistant coach, is using similar techniques and tactics to gradually show his talents in the Argentine top league.

...

Leeds United did not give Atletico Madrid many chances in the away game and easily defeated their opponent 3:0.

The victory in the first two rounds made Atletico Madrid think that they were not far behind Leeds United, or at least they were capable of fighting.

However, suffering a complete defeat at home not only dealt a big blow to their confidence, but the promotion situation no longer seemed as optimistic as before.

After the game, Aguirre complained a few words about Leeds United in frustration.

It's not about finding a fig leaf to cover up failure.

After all, they were facing the defending champion.

Shen Hao, on the other hand, was seriously asked by reporters about being shot in the head by Aguero.

They wanted to define Aguero's shot in the head as a brazen "assault."

Shen Hao's old habit happened again.

"What does this mean? When I was playing football... this kind of thing was too common on the court. There is no need to over-interpret it. He apologized to me immediately. I didn't even feel the need to apologize."

Reporters seemed to see a magnanimous side to the Leeds tyrant.

As for what they think and whether they will hype it up, Shen Hao doesn't care at all.

In another match in the same group, PSV Eindhoven won Marseille 2-0 at home.

After 3 rounds.

Leeds United lead with 9 points.

Atletico Madrid follows with 6 points.

PSV Eindhoven ranks third with 3 points.

Marseille finished last in the group in all three matches.

...

The draw between Leeds United and Liverpool in the last round of the Premier League allowed the other big5 collectives to narrow the points gap with Leeds United.

Manchester United and Chelsea are five points behind Leeds United.

Arsenal are 6 points behind.

Liverpool still has 4 points.

Back in the league at the weekend, Leeds United faced Aston Villa at home.

Modric and Kompany return to the starting lineup.

Leeds United came to Elland Road with high spirits and eager to get a win.

Aston Villa led by Martin O'Neill still adopted a defensive counterattack posture.

After the game started, Shen Hao felt that something was wrong.

Aston Villa has a bus in the backcourt, leaving only Agbonlahor in the frontcourt.

Martin O'Neill concentrated his forces to block the goal.

Leeds United patiently attacked at their own pace.

The 30-yard area in front of the opponent's goal was overcrowded, and Leeds United's passing and cutting cooperation was frequently frustrated.

Aston Villa cleared the ball from the back most of the time.

It also made Leeds United's defense look calm.

But just after 20 minutes of the game, Aston Villa launched a quick counterattack that maximized speed and efficiency.

Agbonlahor charged forward, with Ashley Young and Petrov behind him for offensive support.

When he succeeded in countering an offside move, Neuer struck out to the point where he was about to leave the penalty area. Agbonlahor shot the ball directly towards the goal without making any adjustments.

The football flew just under the arm of Neuer's save.

He looked back without any suspense.

Leeds United's gate is declared to have been lost!

Shen Hao couldn't help but look at Martin O'Neal in a different light.

The opponent is definitely fully prepared to come to Elland Road to defend against counterattacks.

He is worthy of being the coach who was able to bring Leicester City to the League Cup twice by relying on counterattacks in the Premier League.

As the hegemon of the Premier League, Leeds United must actively launch an offensive no matter what kind of opponent they face at home.

Opponents outside of the big5 often exert pressure.

Martin O'Neill made Aston Villa very simple. In addition to the goalkeeper, 8 or 9 players defended, and only 1,2 or [-] players went upfield when attacking.

At the same time, it can also patiently capture better counterattack opportunities in the space environment before taking the initiative.

It has both structure and depth.

Leeds United encountered a tough nut to crack at home.

With the score behind, the defense will be wary of Aston Villa's counterattack.

Martin O'Neal actively directed the team's defense from the sidelines.

Leeds United patiently attacked the situation, constantly switched their playing styles, and never missed a shot. However, the starting environment and the quality of the shots were not satisfactory.

The opponent almost killed Leeds United's shooting opportunity from a frontal angle in the 20-yard area in front of the goal.

After Aston Villa took the lead, they paid more attention to defense and almost did not launch a more threatening counterattack.

This is also directly related to Leeds United's strengthening of midfield area control.

When the game comes to the second half.

Leeds United fans started to get a little restless.

Aston Villa fans began to look forward to the glorious success of slaying the dragon.

After 70 minutes of the game, Shen Hao replaced Rakitic with Ma Kai.

The team strengthens its offensive attack on the front line.

Although the continuous crosses are to deliver shells to the forwards, they are more to create more space for Modric in the back row and Deisler and Ronaldinho on the wing.

Even if it doesn't allow them to be completely liberated and able to use it at will, it will definitely improve their situation of being tightly guarded for a long time.

Leeds United accelerated the frequency of bombing.

Aston Villa's defense was in turmoil, and obvious dangers began to appear.

A player like Ma Kai's rush for a header sometimes has little to do with the number of defenders.

Find the right spot and seize the opportunity, and the opponent will not be angry.

Therefore, Aston Villa not only strengthened the blockade of the area in front of the goal, but also interfered with Leeds United's ball from the wing.

After 80 minutes of the game, Aston Villa suddenly launched a quick counterattack.

It’s still Agbonlahor!

Helguera made a decisive foul when he was about to be rushed by his opponent.

The result was that Agbonlahor fell to the ground and his perfect counterattack opportunity was stifled.

The referee blew the whistle and gave Helgra a red card.

Leeds United fans are really frightened at this time.

"No way, after being unbeaten at home for more than four years, is it going to be defeated by Aston Villa today?"

"There is still time, the game is not over yet!"

"But we have one less person to fight."

Helguera was sent off.

Shen Hao made no personnel adjustments.

One less central defender will have little impact on Leeds United's offense.

The team continued to maintain its aggressive attitude.

5 minutes later, when Agbonlahor was once again about to score a one-on-one shot while running, Neuer controlled the ball first outside the penalty area!

"Is Neuer attacking so far away? He almost rushed to the midfield!"

"But it's undeniable that this is the right choice."

"Yes, otherwise Agbonlahor will have to go it alone again."

Seeing that the game is about to enter injury time.

Leeds United's bombarding tempo shows no signs of slowing down.

Belletti passed the ball from the right to the back of the penalty area, but Ma Kai did not header this time.

The angle is too small and the location is not good.

So he swung the ball backwards.

Everyone turned their attention and saw Ronaldinho unloading the ball on his chest in the left rib area of ​​the penalty area. Someone came to press the ball before it hit the ground.

Ronaldinho flicked the ball to the right.

Just dodged the pressing of Aston Villa players.

Then he took a step sideways and kicked up a volley!

The football was like a bolt of lightning passing through Aston Villa's goal and hitting the blind spot!

All the Leeds United fans cheered!

Not only because of the equalizer, but also because of the excitement of the scoring process.

Martin O'Neal concealed his inner disappointment very well. He actively gestured to the team on the sidelines, asking the team to stabilize their mentality and continue to defend well.

Leeds United raced against the clock but failed to score a winner at the last minute.

Leeds United 1:1 Aston Villa.

After the game, Shen Hao shook hands with Martin O'Neill. He expressed his respect for Martin O'Neill in an interview.

Being able to nearly defeat Leeds United at Elland Road earned his respect.

The reflection and summary brought about by losing points at home will also force him to maintain a sense of urgency and crisis, while also placing higher demands on the team.

Fleet Street are also raving about Aston Villa.

Leeds United's two consecutive draws will make the Premier League championship situation become fierce and cruel.

In this round, Manchester United was tied by Everton away from home.

Arsenal defeated West Ham United away from home.

Chelsea was defeated by Liverpool at Stamford Bridge!

Leeds United still lead the table.

But the lead over Liverpool is only 2 points.

4 points ahead of Arsenal.

5 points ahead of Manchester United.

6 points ahead of Chelsea.

Big5 maintains its monopoly on the top of the Premier League standings, and the internal gap is only two wins.

The Premier League starts fast in midweek.

Leeds United traveled to London to challenge Fulham.

Fulham, led by Hodgson, was unable to perform as extreme a defensive counterattack as Aston Villa at home. Leeds United lost points in two consecutive league games, and the players were simmering with anger.

A strong attack at the beginning, and he did it right from the start.

Although Fulham put on a defensive counterattack posture.

But in terms of mobility, he was completely unable to limit Leeds United's offensive threat.

The full-backs who rotate left and right can penetrate Fulham's defense zone and deliver shells to the forward every time they rush to the frontcourt.

Ronaldo first outflanked the goal in the penalty area.

Then Ronaldinho sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a rub shot from the left side of the top of the penalty area.

Fulham conceded two goals in 15 minutes.

Hodgson realized the situation was not good.

Stand up and walk to the sidelines to direct the team to strengthen defense.

However, Leeds United has become stronger both in form and on the field, and Fulham has passively strengthened its defense.

Deisler assisted Modric and then scored with a powerful shot.

Ronaldinho assisted Kompany with a header from a set kick!

Fulham were defeated!

The home fans looked helpless.

At the end of the half, the game was no longer in suspense.

Leeds United leads Fulham 4-0 away from home.

In the second half, Fulham's morale was sluggish. Ronaldinho made a violent dribbling breakthrough from the left, pretended to ride a bicycle to pass people, and swung his tail with every pull and buckle. Fulham fans couldn't help but stand up. Cheers.

After entering the penalty area, he suddenly moved the ball across the field, completed the breakthrough against the No. 3 player, and then shot the ball into the near corner of the goal!

The Fulham generals looked at Ronaldo, who was shaking his hands in the sign of six, with despair on his face.

The feeling of being pressed to the ground and being rubbed made them not angry or unwilling, but some of them felt it was natural.

Because Ronaldinho showed an almost inhuman performance.

Leeds United started to control the field and slow down after taking a five-goal lead.

Shen Hao also made substitutions early.

In the 74th minute of the game, Jamie Redknapp scored the last goal of the game.

Leeds United 6:0 Fulham.

A big win ended the two-game losing streak.

On the same night, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea won one after another.

Arsenal staged an earth-shattering goal battle with Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

The North London derby ended with 4:4.

The game was exciting, but Arsenal fans were very depressed.

They are six points behind Leeds United again.

...

On the last day of October, Shen Hao routinely attended the pre-match press conference for the weekend Premier League match.

After dealing with the media, Shen Hao drove to Modern City.

Bai Muxin was waiting for him in a roast duck restaurant.

After Shen Hao entered the private room, his phone rang.

"Brother Hao, I, I have a son!"

"Hey, congratulations, how is the child?"

"It's pretty good. All the indicators are normal, but it doesn't look that good."

"The child is still young and will be fine as soon as he grows up. When I have free time, I will go over to see you and my half-blood nephew. In addition, I will give you another month's leave. You don't have to worry about other things."

"Er...okay."

Shen Hao was in a happy mood after hanging up the phone.

Chen Hao sent him a baby photo, and Bai Muxin immediately came over to take a look.

"Why does Mr. Chen's child look nothing like him?"

"It doesn't matter whether it looks like it or not. He will do a paternity test anyway. If it's not his, then it's a waste of feelings."

"I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know what my little baby will look like."

She had ordered the food before.

Shen Hao served her a bowl of duck soup and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you look like, health is the most important thing."

Bai Muxin smiled and kissed Shen Hao first, and then ate happily and actively.

Shen Hao was curious about how much football potential this child would have since Chen Hao gave birth to a son.

The next day Leeds United went away to challenge Portsmouth.

Portsmouth has just completed a coaching change.

Juande Ramos' coaching career at White Hart Lane has finally come to an end.

Tottenham changed coaches midway and poached Redknapp from Portsmouth.

Now Portsmouth can only use an interim coach.

To be honest, the old Redknapp is a bit unauthentic.

It's true that people go to higher places, but it's a bit unconscionable to catch their old club off guard.

Facing Portsmouth, who had just changed coaches not long ago, Leeds United continued their excellent form in midweek in the away game.

Ronaldo didn't touch the ball many times in the game, but almost every time he touched the ball, he did something big that made headlines!

Three shots in the penalty area, three goals!

Ronaldinho, Modric and Deisler each had an assist.

Ronaldo scores a hat trick!

Leeds United easily defeated Portsmouth 3-0 away from home and took all 3 points to win consecutive games.
