Chapter 450 Crowned again, Youth Storm!
The 14th round of the league.
Leeds United host Sunderland.
After Sunderland sacked Roy Keane last season, the acting manager was dismissed at the end of the season and Steve Bruce took over.
After coming up, Sunderland was injected with traditional British style.
Sunderland is still a relegation team, but its record has improved slightly compared to the same period last season.
Generally speaking, the prospects for relegation are relatively optimistic.
But in Shen Hao's eyes, it still has no future.
Ronaldinho, who had fans applauding him in midweek, was on the bench again.
And Kante, Modric's partner in the defensive midfielder in today's starting lineup, attracted special attention from Leeds United fans.
A young dwarf midfielder?
No matter how you look at it, this body should be the development path of the technical stream.
But if you want to go up to the technical level, there is no doubt that Rakitic should be more suitable.
On the striker Royce also got a chance to start, with Gareth Bale coming off the bench today.
Although Leeds United is playing at home, they continue to play steadily.
Test Modric's field control ability.
And he completed the task brilliantly from the beginning.
Sunderland's sporadic counterattacks will create some movement in the frontcourt, but they are not enough to shake Leeds United's defense.
Kanter is very active and hardworking. Although he cannot be precise in defense, he can stalk and annoy his opponents.
For Kanter, Shen Hao now needs him to accelerate his growth.
The body must become stronger, and the skills and experience must also be strengthened.
By pouring resources into him and turning on the highest-end acceleration buff, Shen Hao can also see Kanter's progress.
It's just that this kind of progress is difficult to detect in the eyes of outsiders.
Only when he changes qualitatively will people be impressed.
Neuer habitually expanded his defensive range and repeatedly stifled Sunderland's counterattacks.
Leeds United's offensive frequency is not full.
But the main thing is delicacy and high quality.
Royce gradually adapted to the confrontation, gained a foothold on the court with the ball, and began to show off his beautiful footwork.
Before the end of the first half, Ronaldo moved in the penalty area to respond. Royce hit the wall with Ronaldo when he was intercepted while dribbling inside. Royce then sent the ball short to Kaka's running route.
Kaka, who had already started, made a continuous stop and drove into the penalty area, then changed the direction of the ball to break through the last layer of defense, and connected with a powerful shot to blast the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Elland Road was abuzz.
The fans cheered, applauding the Son of God.
Ronaldinho, who was sitting on the bench, remained calm, but his heart was filled with sadness.
He was about to leave, and he could understand why Shen Hao was willing to let him go.
Leeds United will not stop moving forward without him.
The strength will be affected in the short term, but whether it is the mainstay or the rookie who will come from behind, this is the reason why Leeds United is confident.
His career at Leeds United was brief but brilliant.
Now, it's his fellow countryman Kaka's turn to become the number one ace in white!
Steve Bruce is a little depressed.
He led the team to be relegated before, and now he has returned to the Premier League, but he feels more and more that the world of the Premier League is incomprehensible to him.
Leeds United is always strong, and the big5 seems to be facing a reshuffle this season.
Because Liverpool's hip stretch and Manchester City's rise are impossible to ignore.
How can these small teams survive?
It seems that every season we can only fight for survival.
Reality does not allow them to have any unrealistic fantasies.
After the game entered the second half, Leeds United's offensive coordination became more delicate and smooth.
Modric, Reus, Deisler, Kaka, Ronaldo.
The entire midfield and frontcourt attacking group system constantly consumed and tore apart Sunderland's defense with dazzling combinations of passing and cutting.
When Kaka sent a wonderful pass in front of the penalty area, Deisler cut inside and sent a cross. Ronaldo's goal seemed to be natural.
The mercury is pouring down on the ground, which is as picturesque as a poem.
When the game reached the 75th minute, Gareth Bale, who had just come on as a substitute, boldly tried a long shot.
Although blocked by the defender, Modric then sent a direct pass after controlling the ball in the center of the frontcourt.
Ronaldo received the ball with his back, and Kaka came from the side and dribbled the ball through Sunderland's defense that had no time to adjust, and then pushed the ball into the goal with a leisurely push.
Leeds United 3:0 Sunderland!
Shen Hao makes a substitution, Rakitic and Suarez appear.
Removed Ronaldo and Kaká.
Leeds United further controlled the field and controlled the tempo.
Sunderland couldn't afford any trouble.
The final whistle sounded and Leeds United won the victory without any blood.
The finale of this round took place at the Emirates Stadium.
London Derby.
Arsenal was beaten 3:0 by Chelsea at home.
Ancelotti's team's performance in the strong dialogue can already be said to be as strong as a championship.
So they are also the only team that Fleet Street now thinks is qualified to challenge Leeds United!
Entering December.
Leeds United visit Villa Park in the League Cup midweek.
League Cup quarter-finals.
Leeds United's entire team rotates.
Young players and substitutes make up the starting lineup.
The stage for the competition is not big.
But it’s enough to test the team’s overall strength.
Because Martin O'Neal sent all the main players to the stage, and they also played defensive counterattacks at home!
Even Aston Villa fans think Martin O'Neill has gone too far.
Facing the Leeds United youth army, don't you still have the courage to attack?
But Shen Hao knew that Martin O'Neal had nothing to do.
Playing defensive counterattacks all year round, even if they are facing a team that looks young and has average Leeds United players, Aston Villa's main force is actively attacking. Do they know how to fight?
No, I don’t practice it usually.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we were unable to pose a threat and were counterattacked by Leeds United?
Now that he is the main force, of course he is going to win.
If you want to win, you must naturally use the tactics you are best at.
Leeds United did not dare to take any chances in the away game.
Rakitic was able to stabilize the situation in this situation where he could mainly attack.
After all, Kanter must be relieved and supported defensively.
So the offense relied on Gareth Bale, Suarez, Reus and Rakitic with limited support to repeatedly attack Aston Villa's airtight defense.
Occasionally it can create some threats, but not enough to be fatal.
Aston Villa has the combat effectiveness of the second tier of the Premier League and is playing at home. Of course, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Leeds United are in a tough battle.
Fortunately, the team didn't get crazy and only knew how to attack fiercely.
There was no aggressive attack, nor did Aston Villa have a good chance to counterattack.
Most of the time, encirclement and suppression with more defense and less defense is successful.
The stalemate situation changed until the 80th minute of the game.
Kanter fouled while defending in the backcourt and gave his opponent a direct free kick from the wing near the penalty area.
Aston Villa dealt with the routine and dropped the ball into the penalty area. In the chaos, Hummels and Kilgallon failed to guard against the opponents who were ambushing in the back point.
Aston Villa finally broke the deadlock on the field through a set-piece attack!
Leeds United tried hard to attack in the final stage of the game, but the effect was average.
In the end, they failed to equalize the score.
Eliminated from the League Cup.
Aston Villa advanced to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Fleet Street couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.
"Leeds United's dominance has at least raised the intensity of the local cup competition to a higher level!"
"Other teams cannot win the league title, so they naturally have to show off their talents in the local cup competition!"
"The most uncomfortable thing is probably Leeds United. Leeds wants to train, but if they meet a Premier League team, their opponents will fight to the death!"
"Isn't this what Leeds United wants? Only when the intensity increases can the training be fruitful."
After the game, Kanter felt a little guilty. Shen Hao gave him some simple psychological counseling and gave him some encouragement. Kanter, who was still like a child, instantly cheered up again.
...
Leeds United host Birmingham City this weekend.
The main players of the team played, but Ronaldinho was not included in the squad.
He went to Paris to prepare for the Golden Globe Awards the next day.
This has made the outside world think about Leeds United again.
Everyone always feels that the relationship between Ronaldinho and Leeds United has become distant.
Because Leeds United is obviously accelerating the growth of young players while downplaying Ronaldinho's status and role in the team.
Leeds United, who played the main game, still maintained a steady style.
A group of big players are training with Gareth Bale and Kanter, plus today's starter Kyle Walker.
The situation has basically been under Leeds' control.
Although Birmingham ripped apart Leeds United's defense from Kyle Walker through counterattacks, they failed to seize a few opportunities created.
Leeds United's striker status is online today.
Ronaldo's hat-trick of goals for the first time reminds people that he is still young.
Kaka, Deisler, and Royce, who came off the bench, each had an assist, representing Leeds United's active offense.
In the end, Leeds United won Birmingham 3:1.
After that 7:7 sensation in European football, Leeds United won two consecutive league games.
Chelsea was upset by Manchester City in this round's away game, and Ancelotti's team seems to be cooling down as the winter begins.
Mark Hughes hopes to continue his reign by defeating title contending teams like Chelsea.
But judging by reports from Fleet Street.
Manchester City is already negotiating contract terms and cooperation details with Roberto Mancini.
Mark Hughes' fate has already been written by Manchester City's senior management.
Leeds United's lead expanded to 5 points.
...
Paris France.
Revisiting old places.
Ronaldinho is in a good mood.
At the Golden Globe Awards ceremony held at the Opera House, he was undoubtedly elected Mr. Golden Globe.
The second place is Messi and the third place is Ronaldo.
Ronaldo came late today because he had a game yesterday, but he was still there to crown Ronaldinho.
Although Messi feels regretful, he also knows that the defeat in last season's Champions League final has already determined today's outcome.
He congratulated Ronaldinho from the bottom of his heart and was convinced of his defeat.
When Ronaldinho gave his acceptance speech, the first half was normal.
But in the second half, he hesitated for a moment and finally said: "The person I want to thank most is the head coach of Leeds United..."
His two or three seconds of hesitation and silence seemed to have hidden meanings in the eyes of outsiders.
But Ronaldinho just disobeyed Assis's instructions to him.
Never thank Shen Hao!
This was Assis' request that he almost whispered to him before the award ceremony.
Because they want to create a rift with Leeds United.
This will prevent Manchester City from giving up chasing him.
And make his departure a matter of course.
But Ronaldinho finally revealed his heart and his true feelings.
He knows that there is no Leeds United and no Shen Hao.
He will never return to the most dazzling position in football.
Even if he doesn't cherish it as a treasure.
But he was still grateful.
The interpretation of Ronaldinho's acceptance speech by the European media and even the world media went in another direction.
It seems that Ronaldinho was "forced" to thank Shen Hao.
It was this superstar who took the initiative to bow to Shen Hao, hoping to return to the warm embrace of the team.
This actually created a better result than Ronaldinho not mentioning a word to Shen Hao.
Public opinion concluded that Ronaldinho and Shen Hao had become estranged from each other.
...
The official website of Leeds United issued a message to congratulate Ronaldinho on being elected as the Ballon d'Or.
This is also the third consecutive year that Leeds United players have monopolized the Ballon d'Or.
Ronaldo in the previous two years, Ronaldinho this year.
The new giant Leeds United is even more dazzling!
Before the final match of the Champions League group stage, Shen Hao was interviewed by reporters and asked about Ronaldinho's acceptance speech.
Shen Hao said lightly: "If I have the opportunity to go on stage to receive the award, I will also thank the players of Leeds United. They made me what I am. Ronaldinho mentioned me in his acceptance speech. Are there any questions?
Could it be that in your eyes, he won the Ballon d'Or again because he relied on himself and had nothing to do with his teammates, coaches, or countless fans who supported him? "
Superstars are always the focus of football talk.
No matter how low-key a superstar is, his words and deeds will be made a topic by the media in every possible way.
Shen Hao was accustomed to this.
He knew the hype wouldn't end because of what he said.
will never.
Leeds United went away to challenge Maccabi Haifa.
This expedition was carried out lightly.
Ronaldo, Modric, Helguera, Thiago Silva, Neuer, Belletti, and Van Bronckhorst all stayed at home to recuperate.
Maccabi Haifa has only one point so far, which was obtained at Elland Road Stadium.
They were eliminated early after four rounds.
The final game is their Champions League farewell game.
Facing Leeds United at home with a substitute and a rotation that was almost identical to the one they faced at Elland Road.
So they simply played more proactively at home.
Leeds United fought a counterattack in the away game.
More than two months later, Leeds United's similar lineup showed different combat effectiveness.
The trident composed of Gareth Bale, Suarez, and Reus used fast attacks to tear apart Maccabi Haifa's defense again and again.
There is more tacit cooperation, better personal strength, and higher fighting spirit than two months ago!
The drama of Fast and Furious is repeated over and over again.
The youthful storm swept across Maccabi Haifa.
When the game ended, Shen Hao applauded and cheered on the sidelines.
Leeds United defeated Maccabi Haifa 5-0 away from home.
Even though at least 3 of these goals were caused by Maccabi Haifa's mental imbalance when they were lagging behind.
But winning at this stage is most important for the growth of young players.
Suarez, who scored a hat-trick of goals, can't wait to become the main player for Leeds United!
