Chapter 451 XJBT’s Liverpool has downgraded!
Chapter 451 XJBT’s Liverpool has downgraded!
Juventus had a life-and-death battle with Bayern Munich at home. Juventus, who had to win, was completely defeated by Bayern Munich 4:1 at home!
The curtain of death group came down.
Bayern Munich 13 points.
Leeds United 13 points.
Juventus 7 points.
Maccabi Haifa has 1 point.
Leeds United ranked second in the group due to a one-goal loss to Bayern Munich.
All it takes for Leeds United is promotion.
But everyone is in danger of being ranked first in other groups.
I can't wait to yell at Leeds United.
They worked hard to get first place in the group.
As a result, it is possible to draw the European hegemon Leeds United in the round of 16!
If this really comes against Leeds United, it will definitely be a winner.
Where to go to reason?
Since Manchester United and Chelsea also won the first place in the group, there are only 5 other teams that can meet Leeds United among the remaining first teams in the group.
Fiorentina, Barcelona, Olympiacos, Sevilla, Real Madrid.
...
Liverpool's elimination in the group stage further confirmed that their decline in strength can be said to be a serious downgrade.
Especially since their group does not include any traditional giants in the strict sense.
Fiorentina won the top spot as a dark horse.
Lyon finished second.
Liverpool is third.
Leeds United played an early game in the weekend league and were the first to start the game.
They were away to challenge Stoke City.
Ronaldinho returned to the starting lineup. Having just been crowned Mr. Golden Ball, he played the core role in the frontcourt offense and tried his best to create opportunities for his teammates.
This allowed Ronaldo, Kaká, and Deisler to all display good combat effectiveness and be able to launch an all-round bombardment of Stoke City's defense.
The defensive performance and court control rhythm were maintained well.
Kanter made two wonderful interceptions in the game, which allowed Shen Hao to see the results of his rapid growth.
Leeds United won Stoke City 3:0 away from home.
The night after the league ended, Leeds United left England and the entire team chartered a flight to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This year's Club World Cup will be held there.
Not only does it feel fresh to the fans and the team, it also makes Leeds United CEO Tang Jinyu very excited.
Always going to the Far East to play games and exploring the Asia-Pacific market have finally reached a certain bottleneck.
Going to West Asia this time can open up new markets for Leeds United.
Just the day after Leeds United left.
Chelsea drew with Everton at home.
Leeds United's lead extended to 7 points.
"The Blues are in decline and the White Dynasty is hard to shake!"
"Chelsea was the only hope to end Leeds United, and now that hope is fading!"
"Whether you like Leeds United or not, Leeds United are so powerful beyond imagination!"
...
After arriving in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Leeds United had four days to prepare.
The preparations for the two consecutive days were very easy, and I also squeezed out 2 hours every day to participate in business activities.
The European media had no way of knowing that Shen Hao had an interview with the head of the Manchester City backstage consortium one night after Leeds United came to Abu Dhabi.
...
In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Leeds United went into battle lightly to face CONCACAF champions Atlante.
Local fans were enthusiastic, but also disappointed.
Because none of Leeds United's superstars appeared.
But the game was still exciting.
Atlante may not even be considered a Premier League opponent in front of Leeds United.
And Atlante is not timid, trying hard to create a threat in front of Leeds United and make the game exciting.
Leeds United easily defeated their opponent 3:1 to advance to the Club World Cup final.
After three days of rest.
The Club World Cup final is here.
On the eve of the final, Veron, the midfielder of the Copa Libertadores champion Estudiantes team from Argentina, suddenly jumped out for some unknown reason and declared in a high-profile manner that he wanted to give Leeds United some color.
It seemed to boost morale, but it also seemed to be venting personal emotions.
Whether Shen Hao held a grudge when he refused Veron's free joining back then, Shen Hao himself didn't care anyway.
Time passes.
Veron is about to retire.
How could Shen Hao be the same as him?
If you look at him more than once, you will seem to be insignificant.
In the Club World Cup final, all Leeds United players appeared.
The strength of the college team can only be passively beaten in front of Leeds United.
Veron, the core of offense and defense conversion, is taken care of by Kanter.
Even if Kanter can't make precise interceptions and steals every time, he is fast and more flexible, and it is absolutely no problem to stalk a classic midfielder like Veron.
Veron was scrambled and fought, and was very distressed.
Leeds even created a coup de grace through his turnovers and being dispossessed.
Kaka and Ronaldo shined in the game. Leeds United's fast-in and fast-out style of pressure and attack made the Estudiantes unable to withstand the rhythm.
In the 90-minute game, the Estudiantes only had 3 shots, and Neuer easily resolved the danger.
Leeds United blasted 26 shots and finally scored 4 goals.
Kaka and Ronaldo both scored twice.
At the end of the game, Leeds United fans will smile, high-five and hug each other to celebrate winning the championship.
The generals of the college team were relieved.
it is finally over.
No need to continue suffering under Leeds United's onslaught.
Leeds United win the Club World Cup for the third consecutive year in Abu Dhabi!
“Congratulations to Leeds United for adding another trophy to their hall of fame!”
"The White Dynasty has the world under its feet. This is the best era for White!"
The man in charge of the consortium behind Manchester City who witnessed Leeds United's championship in the VIP box was somewhat envious.
Leeds United's trip to West Asia has been very fruitful. In addition to taking away the largest prize money in the tournament, they also obtained some new sponsorship contracts and initially established channels to expand the West Asia market.
Leeds United returned home with great honors.
Because next year is a World Cup year.
Leeds United missed two rounds of the Premier League during the World Cup, and the arrangement of make-up games gave the Football Association a headache.
Arrange one game before Christmas, and then find time to make up the game after the remaining one.
Because this season's schedule itself has been compressed, this time is not easy to find.
As a result, Leeds United returned to their homeland from West Asia and had to go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool in less than 48 hours of rest.
Leeds United, who were rushing to the top, simply didn't have enough rest and recovery time. Maybe they just got back from jet lag and the game was about to begin!
Liverpool are having a tough time, and selling Alonso in the summer makes it seem like they can't survive this winter.
The Champions League has stopped at the group stage, and the league is unable to compete for the top four. Being further and further behind the top four makes their future even more bleak.
Coupled with Torres' recurring injuries, Liverpool can only rely on Gerrard to support himself.
At this time point, I met Leeds United who had returned from winning the Club World Cup.
It can be said that white clothes are here to bring warmth.
Because Shen Hao used the substitute lineup to challenge Liverpool.
The combat effectiveness is not ideal.
The main reason is that the team's physical condition is not optimistic.
Anfield.
Liverpool had a bye in the league before, and their physical condition is definitely more ideal than Leeds United.
At the same time, they play at home, which gives them a small advantage.
Benitez sat on the coaching bench sinking like water.
Coaching Liverpool over the past few years has been quite frustrating.
When he was coaching Valencia, he couldn't stand the infighting among the management and left in anger.
I had a dream start when I came to Liverpool and won the Champions League in 2005.
We are halfway through our sixth coaching season.
He was becoming more and more exhausted.
Liverpool's previous boss was a good man and was completely loyal to Liverpool. He even mortgaged his villa to pay Liverpool's wages when he was in the most difficult situation.
But it has definitely reached the point where it is time to break up with Liverpool because there is no financial resources to help Liverpool get rid of poverty and become rich.
Without money, there is no competitiveness.
This is a law that is becoming more and more popular in European football today.
Cases like the one where Manchester United's Class 92 succeeded in tapping their potential are hard to come by again.
This is caused by the trend of the European football transfer market. Rich clubs can improve their combat effectiveness faster than in the past, and rich giants can also plunder the best player resources.
I thought the arrival of two American bosses would make life better.
Unexpectedly, these two American bosses have absolutely no strength. After the pie-making stage has passed, Liverpool is now beginning to have a financial crisis!
Yes, the traditional giant Liverpool has been revealed by the media to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Benitez and everyone are numb, and the board of directors has gone from being a scheming quarrel with each other to now almost openly turning against each other.
Liverpool fans have suffered a lot and their expectations for the boss over the years have been nothing but meat and potatoes.
But life still has to go on.
It's a bit bitter, don't even think about big fish and meat. Regardless of whether you can accept it or not, just make do with simple meals.
Looking at Leeds United's substitute lineup, Benitez did not take it lightly, but was extremely envious.
Take a look at Leeds United. They went from being poor and carrying a debt of 7000 million pounds to living a prosperous life in less than six years.
Not only has the lineup been renovated and strengthened every year, but the number of superstars has also increased year by year.
Now there is an exciting young lineup.
How can you not make people covet and envy you?
Of course, Liverpool's problem is not entirely due to the lack of strength on the board of directors.
The quality of their signings over the years can only be described as passable.
Mascherano and Torres, this can be considered as something they can do.
All other signings, even Kuyt, can hardly be said to match Liverpool's ambitions in terms of strength.
For example, Alonso was sent away last summer, and his replacement Aquilani has been labeled as a parallel import, which is equivalent to throwing away at least 1000 million euros.
How can one withstand such a squandering when he has little financial resources?
Liverpool attack cautiously at home.
Leeds United tightened the fence and patiently waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
The trident composed of Benayoun, Kuyt, and Ngog failed to make waves in Leeds United's defense, making Liverpool fans frustrated and sighing.
Gerrard supports the overall situation in the midfield. Since Alonso left, his threat to the opponent's goal on the field has plummeted.
The reason is that he has to take on the organizational tasks in the midfield.
In the past two years, Liverpool's technical and tactical play has also become the target of ridicule from the outside world.
It is often ridiculed as xjbt tactics.
When Benitez's opponent's formation and technical and tactical system are not strong in terms of player strength and team, it will lead to chaos if it goes too far.
Leeds United was passive for a long time, but the defense looked stable.
The defense formed by Hummels and Kilgallon was surprisingly solid.
Kanter and Seth Johnson formed a double midfielder, and Rakitic also focused on defense today.
Liverpool clearly seems to have the advantage, but they can't even show a clear advantage in shooting data.
Liverpool fans are suffering. At this moment, let alone the ambition to compete with Leeds United for the title.
What they despair about is that the team's performance may not even make it into the top four.
It used to be said that if you fail in the championship, you can make a comeback next season.
For Liverpool now, what will happen next season?
It’s not like two American bosses will become rich overnight...
When the stalemate reached the second half, Leeds United's quick counterattack got better.
In the 71st minute of the game, Gareth Bale ran long distance from the wing. He was chased and intercepted in the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to Rakitic who was inserted in the middle. The latter over-distributed the ball.
Royce cut in from the left and ran the ball to the penalty area, looking for the right opportunity to send a wonderful pass.
Suarez made a step forward and then spiked the ball in a different direction to pass Agger who hurriedly intercepted and transferred the center of gravity.
After a successful breakthrough, Suarez shot furiously.
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal!
Reina's save was powerless!
Countless Liverpool fans at Anfield were stunned and dumbfounded.
"Haha! Suarez scored! Leeds United took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the away game!"
"Liverpool, Liverpool, xjbt has no future!"
"Benitez couldn't sit still, and Torres, who was injured, started to warm up. Alas, it's a pity. Torres was really strong in the season when he first came here, but it's a pity that the injury prevented him from going further."
"Originally, Torres had one foot on the threshold of superstardom by defeating Germany in the European Cup final to send Spain to the throne. However, his performance at the club in the past year and a half has been affected by injuries, and the foot that stepped onto the threshold of superstardom has been taken back. ..."
Torres is of top quality.
A star who just plays in and out cannot fully realize his strength.
If you only look at his scoring efficiency per game, it is absolutely strong.
Last season in the Premier League, he scored 22 goals in 18 games. The average goal rate in each game was the Premier League T0 level.
But... of the 38 rounds of the Premier League, you can only play 22 rounds. Even if you can average 1 goal per game, who will you rely on for the remaining 16 Premier League games?
Superstars must first ensure sufficient attendance.
if not?
The fans are looking forward to seeing you, but you always don't show up.
No matter how high your popularity is, it will still lose its popularity. No matter how strong your strength is, it is only useful if you can show it off.
But on the other hand, Torres' problem is only his insufficient appearance rate.
As long as he appears, he will be a huge threat.
Leeds United strengthens its defense.
Shen Hao made substitutions step by step.
Liverpool went on a rampage in the last 15 minutes of the game.
The defensive sniper interception in the backcourt made Leeds United's young strikers pay tuition when facing counterattack opportunities.
Not vigilant enough.
Repeatedly being fouled by Liverpool sniped away the good counterattack threat.
And when the game just entered the injury time period, the continuous bombardment was unorganized. Still, xjbt's Liverpool just passed the ball first and was cleared, and then Gerrard fired a long shot from the outside.
Neuer made a save, but the ball was pushed out by the tall Kilgallon.
The paradox is that the football that flew out still flew towards Gerrard.
Kante got there early, but... he jumped up and tried to clear the ball with a header, just like a joke.
Gerrard suppressed Kanter and headed the ball into the penalty area with almost no obvious jumping movement.
After the football bounced on the ground in the penalty area, someone kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal at the moment it bounced!
Everyone took a closer look.
Damn!
Sure enough, the Holy Infant of the Red Army, Torres!
