Chapter 385 Guess...Welcome to the Premier League!
Chapter 385 Guess...Welcome to the Premier League!
It must be a special fate.
Real Madrid and Leeds United have met in the knockout stages of the Champions League for three consecutive years.
Even though Shen Hao and Calderon have a pretty good relationship, they are familiar with each other once and twice, and it can be said that there is "mutual benefit" between them.
Real Madrid got the players they wanted from Leeds United.
Leeds United also completed the "cash-out" from Real Madrid and introduced dynasty heroes like Ronaldo and Helguera.
But it was obviously a mutual choice between the two parties, and the transactions in the transfer market were pleasant, but on the court they became enemies who fought against each other every year.
But Real Madrid fans always feel that they have been cheated by Leeds United.
Now facing Leeds United, I can't help but feel a little aggrieved.
Calderon even cursed UEFA at home the moment after the draw result came out!
Everyone thinks there is something very fishy in this.
This confrontation between the old and new kings will surely attract much attention.
Because Real Madrid is also engaged in a fierce championship competition with Barcelona in La Liga. With a lineup like Ribery and Robben plus Sneijder and Van der Vaart, Real Madrid has indeed made a statement in European football at least in terms of offensive firepower. The beginning of the return of the king.
What's even more surprising is that just before the halfway point of the league, Camp Nou has gradually become enthusiastic from being deserted at the beginning of the season.
Barcelona led by Guardiola rebounded strongly in La Liga, and the statistics produced by the trident of Messi, Eto'o, and Henry were equally astonishing.
Real Madrid faced a crisis when their rivals overturned their local dominance.
The Champions League knockout round was drawn to Leeds United, which means that the dual crisis of internal and external troubles is before Calderon.
How could he not be angry?
Even Real Madrid fans are excited.
They still remember that Real Madrid performed well in the group stage last year and after finishing first in the group... they were drawn to Leeds United, which was second in the group.
This year, Leeds United had an almost perfect performance with 5 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, while Real Madrid failed in the group stage and was snatched away from first place by Juventus.
Unexpectedly, they were second in the group but were drawn against Leeds United, who were first in the group.
It must be said that UEFA wrote the script for them to compete on the same stage.
Well, first of all, they themselves have created conditions that allow UEFA to do a lot.
If the two teams finish first or second in the group at the same time, it is absolutely impossible for them to meet in the top 16.
Leeds United fans are in a stable mood.
There was not the slightest bit of fuss about the result.
Even if someone mentions it in a bar, others will definitely say with disdain: "Oh? Real Madrid, is that the 16th player in the Champions League?"
"Whether they meet Leeds United or not, they can't make it to the top eight, so don't take them seriously."
"Robben? Ribery? Haha, do they have a Ballon d'Or? How many goals have they made in total now? Do they have Ronaldo and Ronaldinho?"
...
Leeds United host Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.
Mark Hughes went to Manchester City to take up a new job, and Blackburn invited Paul Ince to coach. The former England international was well-known as a player, but he was not good at coaching.
Blackburn were able to stay in the middle of the Premier League during Mark Hughes's tenure, and occasionally reach the upper reaches.
But after Paul Ince came, Blackburn struggled in the lower reaches of the standings.
It's just not as miserable as the relegation zone.
Shen Hao is not interested in such a famous coach in his playing days.
Objectively speaking, the common rule in football that you play and worry about teaching is not scientific.
The current coaches of the BIG5 Premier League are Shen Hao, Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, and Scolari.
It can be said that the player era is... nothing.
Including Mourinho, who left the Premier League and now coaches Inter Milan, and Lippi, the World Cup winning coach two years ago, their playing days either died young or had nothing to do with their glory.
It’s rare for players who have had great success in their playing days to transform into top coaches.
Some experiences in their playing days can make it easier for them to empathize with players and gain their trust.
However, without the accumulation of professional experience in the system and coaching, coupled with the lagging awareness of the development of the times, they often like to use past experience to lead contemporary teams, which is tantamount to trying to find a sword in a desperate situation.
Rollovers are common, and even those who do well, most of them clearly show great limitations in thinking.
For example, Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes are all coaches in this category.
They are good, but you can visibly see that there is an invisible barrier between them and the top ranks.
They cannot step out of their comfort zone and do not have enough courage to innovate themselves.
Because Shen Hao regrets that he never started his career, he even has some disgust with the kind of coach who plays and teaches based on excellence.
It's like they took the back door to run a team in the top flight without having to prove anything.
And if Shen Hao had not sold the iron and had the support of Sanqian Baiyi, no matter how outstanding he was in coaching in Asian football and won the championship, he would not have been accepted by a team in the five major leagues to take charge of the team.
Before the game started, Ronaldo held the Ballon d'Or in his hand to show it to Leeds United fans. Tang Jinyu specially asked the staff to set up an exhibition table with the three Ballon d'Or awards that Ronaldo had won previously.
Ronaldo walked up to the table and placed his fourth Ballon d'Or on it.
Four Golden Globe Awards sparkled in the pre-dusk sun.
The Leeds United players lined up on the sidelines to applaud. Some were envious, some admired, and some felt proud.
After applauding, Ronaldinho turned back and muttered to Shen Hao: "BOSS, why didn't you tell me earlier? I can also contribute a Golden Globe Award."
Shen Hao glared at him.
"Your Ballon d'Or has nothing to do with Leeds United."
Ronaldinho pouted.
This sounds like Ronaldo's four Ballon d'Or awards are all related to Leeds United.
He looked back and applauded big brother Ronaldo.
After the ceremony to present the Golden Globe Award, Ronaldo walked to the sidelines and hugged Shen Hao.
Shen Hao said to him: "You should thank your family, they give you more strength."
Ronaldo nodded and kissed his wife in public before sending her away.
When turning back to enter the field, Ronaldo made a prayer gesture of crossing himself on his chest, put away his relaxed look and ran into the field.
Paul Ince stood on the sidelines and looked at Shen Hao. It seemed that he felt that he could compete with the Leeds Tyrant. This was a good start.
But the next second Shen Hao turned around and walked back to the coaching bench and sat down.
Paul Inston felt uncomfortable for a moment.
Then came a surge of ambition.
I dare not say that he can defeat the contemporary Premier League hegemon at Elland Road, the devil's home stadium, but if he can take away 1 point and cause trouble for Leeds United, then this will definitely be a wonderful performance for him in the coaching position.
When the game started, Leeds United was still improving at home and shaping the situation.
Blackburn took the initiative and launched a crazy press, fighting for every inch of ground.
Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench with a smile on his lips.
Is Paul Ince carrying forward the traditional British style?
Playing this trick in front of Leeds United?
Do you usually not watch football?
After more than half a month of adjustments, Ronaldo showed off four Ballon d'Or awards today, with improved condition and full fighting spirit.
Ronaldinho went berserk shortly after the start for his long vacation!
Blackburn pressed fiercely.
Naturally, Leeds United did not advance as a whole, because the opponent could not occupy the entire stadium. When focusing on surrounding Leeds United's midfield, Modric and Rakitic decisively passed the ball back.
Jamie Redknapp played the role of a deep-lying organization and sent the ball to the left area of the center of the frontcourt with a medium and long pass.
Ronaldinho cut across the middle from the wing, took off while running and stopped the ball with his chest. Before the football landed, he immediately changed direction and volleyed the ball over the head of the player who was attacking.
The breakthrough passed by and then he swung his legs to volley.
Blackburn's defender stepped forward and used his body to block the angle of his shot.
But Ronaldinho faked a shot!
The fake ejaculation was real!
The moment the football hit the ground, he changed the direction of the ball and completed the breakthrough. The only remaining defensive players on Blackburn's back line were rushing towards him.
Instead, Ronaldinho slowed down and seemed to be about to shoot while adjusting, but instead chose to pass the ball diagonally to the left.
Ronaldo stopped the ball from the side and pushed the ball accurately into the far corner of the goal.
Leeds United fans cheered.
The elated look was not only happy for the goal, but also excited for Ronaldinho's wonderful performance.
When Ronaldo and Ronaldinho hugged, the latter raised a finger in the direction of Shen Hao on the sidelines.
Shen Hao saw his actions from a distance and immediately looked away.
What is this for?
Don't you understand that what he said a week ago was just a polite comment?
Do we really need to decide whether to give him a holiday based on his performance today?
As long as he doesn't show off his hips to the point of making people speechless, Shen Hao will give him a holiday.
Ronaldinho didn't seem to understand this, and he was serious about going on a killing spree today.
Paul Ince's face darkened.
All previous thoughts disappeared.
He was a morale booster from the sidelines.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a chicken blood injection.
Blackburn then continued to put on a balanced offensive and defensive formation, engaging in hand-to-hand confrontation with Leeds United in every area, but Leeds United's passing organization moved very quickly.
Their running zone defense turned out to be a waste of energy.
Seeing Leeds United constantly creating offensive threats, Shen Hao couldn't help lamenting that the tall and powerful Paul Ince was stupid and naive.
"BOSS, what are you laughing at?"
Assistant teacher Feiningan noticed Shen Hao's subconscious smile and asked curiously.
Alone Better Together.
If you are happy, please share it.
Shen Hao turned to him and smiled: "Why do you think Chelsea led by Mourinho adopts intensive defense and sometimes even puts up a bus?"
Feiningan said of course: "Compress the space, improve the efficiency of zone defense, and limit the opponent's offensive creativity and team coordination quality at the forefront of the offense..."
Shen Hao continued to laugh: "Then why do you think Blackburn didn't set up a bus when they came to the away game?"
"Why...I don't know why they did it. It's inexplicable."
Feiningan also laughed.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed true.
Paul Ince could copy what Mark Hughes did when he led Blackburn Rovers against Leeds United over the past two years.
He wouldn't even think of confronting Leeds United at Elland Road.
Judging by his posture, his courage is commendable.
Look at the scene, ignorant and fearless.
Daisler teamed up with Belletti on the right side of the frontcourt to break through the defense and then passed the ball back in the right flank of the penalty area. Ronaldinho followed up by cutting inside and hit the ball without adjusting.
The ball hit the dead center, clean and crisp.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Leeds United led by two goals!
Shen Hao smiled even more.
Paul Ince, welcome to the Premier League.
At least it can be regarded as experiencing the strength of the contemporary hegemony of the Premier League.
Your coaching career has been worthwhile!
After retiring, he started coaching in low-level teams in 06. Two years later, Paul Ince took over from Mark Hughes to coach Blackburn Rovers this summer.
When he finishes chewing up the legacy left by Mark Hughes, Blackburn will probably fall towards the relegation zone.
Not far away now.
Blackburn fans were restless and looked at the field with ugly expressions.
"What are you playing here? Do you want to play football?"
"Paul Ince is simply a big importer! How can he coach?"
"I have long said that black people do not have the intelligence to be a head coach!"
"Who are you scolding when you mess with Fake?"
"Farke, am I wrong? So far, besides Tigana, Paul Ince is the second black coach of a Premier League team. What do you think is the reason?"
"Discrimination! This is naked discrimination!"
"Is it discrimination? It depends on your grades! If you don't have a good brain, am you still blind?"
"That is, the Leeds tyrant, a yellow man, has proven that he has unparalleled coaching wisdom, while Paul Ince, who has a relatively successful career, has a shitty coaching record!"
"Want to fight?"
"Come on! I just said Paul Ince is a piece of shit. Do you have any objections?"
To be honest, Blackburn has had a very good life in the past few years.
They won the Premier League title that year.
Before Wenger took over Arsenal and started the era of fighting with Ferguson.
Ten years later, the mentality of Blackburn fans has become Buddhist.
We are firmly in the middle of the Premier League, and from time to time we beat strong teams to upsets, making everyone celebrate like a festival. It is good, and these fans from a small place are very satisfied.
But Paul Ince has led his team towards the relegation zone this season without looking back.
Of course fans cannot accept this gap.
There was a commotion in the stands.
Shen Hao's attention was attracted. He thought it was a conflict between Leeds United fans and Blackburn fans.
The result was a fight between Blackburn fans, white fans and black fans!
Leeds United fans cheered from the sidelines.
"Hit him, give him a good beating! Don't be a coward. Whoever is a coward is raised by my cousin."
"Yes, harder! Come on, baby!"
"Oh, oh, it's bleeding. Get up quickly, wipe away the blood and fight back. Are you a man? Why are you crying?"
...
Shen Hao caught a glimpse of Chen Hao appearing at the exit of the players' tunnel. The two looked at each other and Chen Hao nodded.
He has asked Chris Jones to handle it there.
Chris Jones quickly directed stadium security personnel to quell the riot in the stands and dragged the fans out.
Although it was a riot caused by fans of the away team.
It didn't affect the Leeds United fans, but it was at Elland Road after all.
Leeds United certainly have the obligation and responsibility to maintain order in the stands.
Besides, not all Blackburn fans want to get involved in this brawl.
Leeds United should also restore a safe viewing environment for them.
Paul Ince looked ugly.
Blackburn's generals were clearly affected by the commotion in the stands.
Although they didn't know why their fans started fighting.
But they know that this must be directly related to their performance.
It's hard for anyone not to be upset.
When they were hesitating, they didn't care at all that Leeds United, which was right next to them like a beast looking for food, would not show mercy to them.
