Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 555 The night the white dynasty collapsed?

Etihad Stadium.

The match between Manchester City and Leeds United made the audience feel the tension in the atmosphere from the beginning.

Leeds United controlled the ball and shaped the pressing situation through fast and smooth team passing.

Manchester City took more than half a season to take shape. Mancini is an Italian coach and has a good level of defensive training. He can temporarily withstand Leeds United's fast break.

But the team has a big problem in the transition between offense and defense.

Leeds United's crazy pressing forced the tempo to increase.

When the speed reached a point where it was difficult for Manchester City to control it, they were in a hurry when switching from defense to offense.

In the 17th minute of the game, Leeds United successfully intercepted a pass from Gareth Barry during the frontcourt pressure and counterattack. During the fast break, Deisler delivered a diagonal overhead pass from outside the penalty area.

Gareth Bale successfully cut inside and volleyed the ball towards the center.

Suarez was outflanked but couldn't jump and directly headed the ball towards the goal to complete the goal!

Leeds United opened the scoring.

Mancini looked a little ugly.

The even more ugly scene appeared 8 minutes later, when Kaka received Suarez's pass from outside the penalty area and took a long shot!

The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Joe Hart's save was about 30 centimeters short.

Not the limit.

But I can only watch the ball and sigh.

Leeds United took a two-goal lead before 30 minutes.

If the sky is sentimental, the sky will be old too. If you see Hartmon, you will kick him!

Leeds United have not forgotten Manchester City's weakness.

Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench unmoved by the goal.

What he cares more about is the team's execution efficiency and tactical discipline.

However, Mancini's mentality has exploded and he can't sit still at all.

He walked to the sideline to direct and try to help the team turn around the situation.

But Manchester City, which has just merged a scattered team into a whole this season, is definitely an advantage when it comes to playing against a team under the Premier League giants.

But facing the Premier League giants, especially Leeds United, it was definitely a pressure-resistant game.

Unfortunately.

They didn't last long.

Resisting pressure turned into headwinds, and headwinds turned into desperate situations.

Leeds United's main team repeatedly attacked Manchester City's defense with their tacit cooperation, using actions to present a picture of a dimensionally reduced attack to all viewers.

When Leeds United's counterattack in the midfield and frontcourt continued to work, and the counterattack on the spot caused chaos in the Manchester City defense, Modric's scalpel-like through ball completely collapsed the Manchester City defense.

Suarez turned around and successfully countered offside. He calmly dunked past the attacking Joe Hart and then shot into the empty net to give the team another victory. He also scored twice personally.

Halftime is over.

Leeds United leads Manchester City by three goals!

Manchester City fans were completely stunned.

At this time, many people murmured to themselves: "How big is the gap between us and Leeds United!"

As far as this season is concerned, the gap between Manchester City and Leeds United... is also separated by Manchester United and Chelsea.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Leeds United was full of momentum, pressing, attacking and high-pressing like a tiger hunting for prey, completely grinding Manchester City to the ground.

Joe Hart made some wonderful saves with his high passes.

But after Daisler's long shot penetrated his fingers again, people may only remember his shortcomings in saving the long shot.

Leeds United surrendered in the 70th minute of the game.

In the second half, Deisler and Kaka each made another contribution, helping the team rewrite the score to 5:0.

Leeds United completed three substitutions one after another.

Shen Hao then stood up from the coaching bench and walked to the sidelines.

At the end of the game, it was more like he was tired of sitting and stood up to move around.

Mancini's mentality broke the defense.

He sat on the coach's bench with his arms crossed, looking helpless.

Leeds United fans continued to celebrate, and the team's performance proved that there was no problem with Leeds United.

Still as strong as a tiger.

Your overlord is still your overlord!

When the final whistle sounded, the Manchester City generals showed a bit of dejection.

Losing to Leeds United is not unacceptable.

But being crushed by Leeds United is another story.

Manchester City fans can now only hope that the team will find ways to make the team stronger in the summer.

How to become stronger?

Spend money!

In this era of quick success and instant benefit.

Spending money is the fastest way to become stronger.

And Manchester City happens to be the owner who is not short of money.

Leeds United walked away from the Etihad Stadium with a 5-0 victory.

Maybe Arsenal will applaud.

After this round, Arsenal and Manchester City have the same points.

Fighting for the fourth place in the season, everyone depends on their ability.

The following midweek is quiet, and the FA Cup match next weekend has nothing to do with Leeds United.

But 12 days later it will be the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.

After the restorative training of the league, Shen Hao gave the team two days off.

And he appeared alone in Greece on the morning of the first day of vacation.

Wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, he looked at the blue Aegean Sea and looked up at the clear, cloudless sky.

Someone boarded the small yacht. He looked back and saw a mature woman in a dress smiling at him.

"What a coincidence."

Tan Youyou burst into laughter, took off her sunglasses and placed them on the cloud-like hair on her head.

She sat down next to Shen Hao and watched as Shen Hao started the yacht and slowly sailed away from the coastline towards the beautiful blue Aegean Sea.

"I thought you would wait for me in the invincible ocean view room, but I didn't expect that you would actually take me to the sea to spend our time together."

Shen Hao took a sip of refreshing beer and said, "I am a principled person. Either buy the ticket first and then get on the bus, or get on the bus first and then pay for the ticket."

Tan Youyou held her chin and smiled sweetly.

"I just like your serious nonsense."

Shen Hao turned to her and smiled: "I also like to hear you praise me. Say more, I like to hear it."

Tan Youyou stood up and hugged Shen Hao from behind. The yacht accelerated, and the sea breeze roared with a bit of coolness.

But the two of them were extremely hot together.

Go out to sea to enjoy the scenery and spend the night on the sea. The small yacht sways gently with the waves, as if writing a moving song.

The two returned to shore the next day, with Tan Youyou holding Shen Hao's arm. The two visited ancient Greek buildings, tasted local delicacies, and spent a relaxing and romantic day.

In the evening, Shen Hao and Tan Youyou parted ways at the airport.

She returned to China and Shen Hao returned to Leeds.

Shen Hao, who gave the players a holiday, also changed his mood, whether it was to make up for Tan Youyou's tickets or to release his own pressure.

When he returned to Leeds, his thinking was clearer and his ideas were extremely clear. He concentrated on leading the team to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.

...

When Leeds United was about to go to Munich, Shen Hao focused entirely on his opponent in the pre-match press conference.

"Bayern Munich's wide attack will cause headaches for all opponents, and Leeds United is no exception.

Want to completely freeze Ribery and Robben? That's impossible!

If these two people each play for a team, their threat will not be that great, but they happen to play for the same team, which is enough to carry the team to challenge the top of Europe.

And Thomas Muller, he is a player that I can’t see through. It doesn’t seem like he will pose much of a threat, but he can put up good data in the game. He completed the task well in the first round and also Scored a goal.

We should pay more attention to him in the second round.

... "

Shen Hao has been talking about Bayern Munich.

It almost gave reporters on the scene a hallucination: Bayern Munich is the winner of four consecutive Champions League titles!

Before the game, Van Gaal emphasized that Bayern Munich should not underestimate the opponent and must firmly control the advantage in their own hands.

This also makes the European media feel a little awkward.

From the outside, it seems that the side with stronger hard power is Leeds United.

Now it seems that the two teams have completely reversed their positions.

Does the 4:4 score in the first round really have such a big impact?

Late March.

Munich, Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich hosts Leeds United.

The second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals arrived as scheduled.

After Shen Hao entered the field, he stood in the visiting team coach's command area, still standing with his hands behind his back.

But his expression looked very calm.

It seems that one cannot feel his confidence in making a comeback.

Van Gaal came on the stage in high spirits and waved to the Bayern Munich fans who cheered for him.

He glanced at Shen Hao, then went to the home team's coaching bench and sat down. He took out his notebook and pen, and was ready to start recording the problems or noteworthy situations he discovered during the supervision.

The starting players of both teams appeared on the stage, each with a strong temperament and full of fighting spirit.

After the draw for the top 16 knockout rounds was announced, the competition between these two teams became the pinnacle showdown that attracted global attention.

The 4:4 score in the first round also attracted enough attention and suspense.

Will the white-clad dynasty that has dominated Europe for four years evaporate tonight?

If it comes true, tonight will be an important milestone in the history of European football.

Shen Hao looked at Bayern Munich's starting lineup calmly and seriously.

Goalkeeper: Kraft.

Defenders: Lahm, Van Buyten, Breno, Planic.

Midfielder: Gustavo, Thomas Muller, Schweinsteiger.

Forwards: Robben, Gomez, Ribery.

Shen Hao glanced thoughtfully at Tymoschuk on the Bayern Munich bench.

If he is Van Gaal, there is a high probability that he will play Moshchuk today and have an extra defensive midfielder.

But judging from the results of the first round, if Bayern Munich can score 4 goals against Leeds United in the away game, it should be able to score at least 4 goals or more at home.

Of course, this is certainly not absolute and depends on the head coach's tactical arrangements and the development of the game situation.

It's just that Bayern Munich's starting lineup today seems to have continued the thinking from the first round, but there is no obvious adjustment in a conservative or positive direction.

Maybe Van Gaal doesn't think it's necessary.

Playing at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich has some advantages over playing in the White Temple.

Leeds United started 433.

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Hummels, Baines.

Midfielder: Kante, Kaka, Modric.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Suarez, Deisler.

With the referee's whistle, the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals officially kicked off.

Leeds United played away from home and played steadily.

There is no need to risk a strong attack against Bayern Munich in the opening stage.

Besides, they really need to get into form on the road.

Disrupting fists is not Shen Hao's style.

Bayern Munich saw Leeds United's cautious look, and they did not launch a sustained and fierce offensive.

The tone set by Van Gaal for the team in this game is stability!

Robben passed the ball to Gomez on the right side of the frontcourt, and the latter's header went wide.

Ribery tried a long shot from the outside, but Thiago Silva stretched his leg to block it.

Leeds United's offense was also very routine. Gareth Bale's long shot was confiscated by Kraft, and Suarez's half-turn on the penalty area line barely missed the target.

The seemingly back-and-forth tug-of-war lasted for more than ten minutes.

When the game passed 15 minutes, Leeds United first staged a wave of team passes in the midfield area for more than 30 seconds.

During the team passing process, the team formation began to gradually press forward.

Even the audience can predict that the style of the next game will definitely change dramatically.

Bayern Munich is certainly more cautious.

Deisler's cross was cleared by Breno's header.

Shen Hao looked at Breno and then at Thiago Silva.

It is no exaggeration to say that nearly three years ago in Brazil, Breno was more famous than Thiago Silva, and was also considered to be a central defender with higher potential and a brighter future than Thiago Silva.

But today, people's opinions will definitely change with the different trajectories of the two players.

Badstuber's performance in the first round...can't say that he didn't work hard, I can only say that the reality is too cruel.

Van Gaal replaced him with Breno.

In Shen Hao's eyes, there is not much difference.

Whether they are good or bad in terms of ability has nothing to do with the gap between the two, but only has to do with the critical line required by hard power.

Neither of them has crossed the critical line. Is there a big difference between who is higher and who is lower?

Thomas Muller failed to control the ball released by Breno's header, and Kanter successfully intercepted it.

Leeds United's fast break started quickly.

After receiving the ball, Modric moved the ball to the wing to distance himself from Bastian Schweinsteiger, and found an angle to deliver a direct pass.

Gareth Bale got inside to receive a kick.

Ordinary short pass.

But when the football rolled to the penalty area line and was pushed forward by Kaka, it became extraordinary after he waded the ball forward.

Kaka diverted the ball in front of Breno and accelerated to pass by. As soon as he broke through the right rib of the penalty area, Kaka took off and volleyed.

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal, but Kraft jumped and blocked the ball diagonally with one palm.

It just flew to where Ram was on the right side of the backcourt.

When Ram stopped the ball, he felt something was wrong.

Deisler got in front of him faster than in the first round!

At the same time, Suarez also came towards him from the penalty area.

Ram tried to control the ball and create a passing angle, but found that Deisler did not press at all, but just blocked the line in front of him.

Ram could only move the ball to the side and then kick the ball forward.

The situation in the middle of the backcourt was more complicated, and Ram did not take risks.

After passing the ball forward, he did not pay attention to the situation in front. Instead, he turned his head to observe the retreat trajectory of Leeds United players.

Ram frowned slightly.

If he is not mistaken, Gareth Bale is also closer to Planic than he was in the first round.

Modric blocked Bastian Schweinsteiger and Kante marked Thomas Muller.

Ram's heart sank.

The situation is not good!

Hope it doesn’t turn out to be a “bad thing”!
