Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 540: There is something, but the strength is not enough!

Old Trafford.

The Rose Derby between Leeds United and Manchester United presented the high-intensity physical confrontation that should be expected between mortal enemies.

But both teams are obviously strong but not dirty.

The collision is fierce, but it is only in actions that are not extraordinary, such as blocking, collision, forcing the ball to steal, and turning into hand-to-hand combat.

In this situation, Leeds United's pressure is still more concentrated in the midfield and frontcourt. This is a reflection of Leeds United's ability to control the ball better than Manchester United.

And Manchester United is not completely unable to steal the ball and organize an offensive, but the frequency is relatively low.

When Macheda and Hernandez harassed Modric from behind, the latter sent a direct pass, but Suarez made a mistake in passing under the pressure of Carrick and Park Ji-sung.

After Fletcher stole the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Rafael on the wing, who sent a medium and long pass.

Nani's counter-offside came very suddenly.

The Leeds United defense was caught off guard.

In a long and fast-paced contest, Manchester United's raid will be more efficient.

But when Nani had just formed a single goal and was already controlling the ball and dribbling, Neuer had already reached outside the penalty area.

Nani has lost the best opportunity to lob while dribbling inside.

Neuer blocks the line from close range in front.

Nani changed the direction of the ball and tried to pass. Neuer fell to the ground and intercepted the ball, destroying it and sending it to the wing.

Red Devils fans were immediately disappointed.

Ferguson's facial muscles trembled slightly.

It's obviously hard to let go of this missed opportunity.

Shen Hao's mood was unstable.

Even if Leeds United loses the ball, he can remain calm.

However, looking at Manchester United's performance, there is no problem with the style of play. If the lineup is stronger, this contest may really be a tit-for-tat battle of life and death.

Shen Hao never believed that there were unsolvable ways of playing in the world.

But you can have an invincible team.

In the final analysis, the chemical reaction produced by the combination of the hard power of the lineup and the soft power of technology and tactics is the most important.

As the game approached 30 minutes, although Leeds United's frontcourt fast break was frustrated, Kante intercepted the ball against Macheda as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Kanter completed the interception and passed the ball to the wing.

Kyle Walker quickly sent a direct pass.

Gareth Bale's dribbling advance from the right flank looked unremarkable at first.

But when he suddenly accelerated his cutback, Manchester United's midfielder obviously paid more attention to the threats of Kaká and Modric.

The defense that shrank in the middle of the penalty area reacted and Gareth Bale wanted to go it alone, but it was too late!

Gareth Bale turned inside to get rid of Evra, and after entering the penalty area, he continued to speed up and break through Vidic from the outside!

After forcing the pass, Gareth Bale faced the attacking Van der Sar and pushed the ball towards the far corner of the goal with the outside of his left foot.

The ball speed is not very fast, but the angle is tricky.

The 40-year-old Van der Sar's landing speed is obviously slow.

The football rolled past him and then rolled into the goal against the inside of the far post.

The fans in white in the stands of the visiting team at Old Trafford immediately cheered and celebrated.

Gareth Bale opened his arms and ran to the corner flag area, full of energy!

Shen Hao clapped his hands and applauded, his smile full of expectations for Gareth Bale.

The Welsh winger's development has been rapid indeed.

If compared with last season, Gareth Bale is obviously stronger now and is more confident and mature in his performance on the court.

Manchester United 0:1 Leeds United.

The camera focused on Rooney on the bench.

There is no doubt that this will put more pressure on Ferguson.

As for today's game.

Manchester United's biggest problem is that they can create chances but cannot take them.

Macheda looked exactly like a sapper.

Maybe he can only score points by defending hard and running hard. His future at Manchester United is not optimistic.

But whether it was Kante or Kyle Walker, when Manchester United sent a direct pass from the midfield to the frontcourt and needed the Trident to break through the Leeds United defense to create a fatal blow, Macheda could not get rid of the defense.

The situation of Hernandez and Nani is better, but they often miss a crucial step.

It's just a moment away from launching a fatal blow.

It just couldn't penetrate the last line of defense.

Whether it is breaking through the defense of Hummels and Thiago Silva head-on, or facing Neuer against offside.

This has less to do with the technical and tactical system and more to do with the individual abilities of the players.

In other words, if you change to a more capable player, let's not talk about the current top benchmarks on the left and right, Ronaldo and Messi.

Even Ribery or Robben can definitely break through Leeds United's defense on the basis of frequently creating threats.

Ferguson's Manchester United had his own personal technical and tactical characteristics and style.

It's a pity that the cards in hand are bad.

After Manchester United kicked off, even Manchester United fans could see that the front three was not good.

In this case, some Manchester United fans certainly hope that Rooney can appear.

In the 40th minute of the game, Leeds United attacked from the right side of the frontcourt. Gareth Bale was flanked as soon as he accelerated and cut inside.

Manchester United clearly don't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Gareth Bale decisively passed the ball back to the center.

Modric took the initiative and sent the ball to the ground with a diagonal pass.

Deisler cut in from the left and dribbled into the penalty area to face Ferdinand, then passed the ball across the middle like a leisurely play.

Suarez moved Vidic to follow the defender, but when the football came, he chose to miss the ball.

When Vidic suddenly braked and turned around, Kaká quickly inserted the ball and slightly changed the direction to open up a distance. Vidic turned around and had no time to get close.

Manchester United's defense was completely penetrated!

Kaka only glanced at Van der Sar's position and immediately shot!

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal like a cannonball.

The ball is fast and the angle is tricky.

There was nothing Van der Sar could do.

"Kaka! Suarez cleverly missed the ball and created an excellent space for Kaka to break in. Kaka used a wonderful shot to expand Leeds United's lead!"

"Ferdinand and Vidic, the strongest defensive combination in European football in the past, are no longer as brave as they once were. They may not even be able to completely restrict Leeds United's regular offense."

"Leeds United 2:0 Manchester United. Today at Old Trafford, the white jersey will end Manchester United's 13-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League since the new season!"

"At the same time, as long as they win away from home, Leeds United's points advantage over Manchester United will also expand to double digits!"

The fans in white continued to show off their power and arrogance towards the fans of the Red Devils.

Manchester United and Leeds United took the initiative to compete, and their courage is commendable.

But as the tug-of-war lasts for a long time, the gap in all aspects of comprehensive strength will become apparent.

The camera turned to Rooney again.

This can also be seen on the big screen in the stadium.

Shen Hao glanced at it but didn't take it to heart.

Not being able to match Rooney is very important to Manchester United.

But not so much for Leeds United.

Shen Hao does not think Rooney is the key point that can reverse the gap between the two teams.

Three more Rooney's will be enough.

Red Devils fans were once again left bitterly disappointed.

Halftime is over.

Shen Hao did not return to the locker room.

Ferguson was making intensive adjustments in the locker room.

Manchester United completed the substitutions before the start of the second half.

It was not Rooney who appeared, but Giggs, who was about to turn 37.

Manchester United's style of play remained unchanged, except that Macheda was substituted.

As a result, the quality of offense has been improved.

But it also brought serious deficiencies in midfield defense.

In the 55th minute of the game, Leeds United completed a wave of mercury-filled teamwork when advancing from the frontcourt.

Suarez retreated and took the lead to respond. After receiving the ball, Deisler advanced 10 yards and then passed the ball back diagonally.

Kaka missed the ball while running.

A false shot allowed Park Ji-sung and Carrick to defend.

Modric stopped the ball behind him and sent it straight to the ground.

The football rolled to the right area in front of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale responded and dribbled in, constraining Manchester United's defense and quickly passing the ball back diagonally.

Kaka met the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area and directly sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Deisler cut inside the left side of the penalty area and penetrated Manchester United's defense, but he still passed the ball across.

The football rolled to the front area, and Suarez outflanked and pushed the ball home.

The fans in white cheered.

Performing wonderful coordination for the team is crazy.

Ferguson's face was definitely a little uneasy.

Falling behind 0:3 at home to Leeds United.

Losing is not terrible, but a complete defeat will have an immeasurable impact on morale.

But less than 10 minutes later, Manchester United gained something from their crazy pressing in the midfield.

Kaka was released by Fletcher to intercept the ball.

Park Ji-sung instigated a shift of offense to the wing.

Evra delivers a direct pass.

After Giggs stopped the ball on the wing just after half-time, he pulled the ball under his feet and changed direction to the outside and rushed forward past Kyle Walker. The latter turned around and immediately chased back.

You can definitely catch up within 10 yards.

But Giggs took the lead and passed the ball to the area behind the Leeds United backline.

Hernandez successfully countered offside and went to the meeting alone!

Neuer was one-on-one with Hernandez in front of the penalty area, but Hernandez passed the ball across the right side.

Nani ran wildly to follow up and hit the ball and shot furiously.

The football flew into the near corner of the goal.

Manchester United pulled a goal back at home.

The Red Devils fans cheered, but felt that the hope of a comeback was still slim.

Ferguson proved that Manchester United can score goals without Rooney, and he did so against Leeds United.

Now he brings Rooney on, replacing Fletcher.

Manchester United still scored 433, but Rooney's position was as an attacking midfielder.

For a long time in the past, Ferguson's use of Rooney was to get him closer to the opponent's goal.

But now something has changed.

It's hard to tell whether Rooney's abilities have grown and become more comprehensive, or whether Ferguson has seen Rooney's limits and doesn't think he can become a super shooter like Ronaldo.

It's also possible that Rooney disappointed him.

So now use him as a tool man.

Of course, even as a tool man, Rooney is still very good.

Shen Hao also made substitutions.

Royce came on to replace Deisler.

Leeds United kept their attack active.

The situation on the field is still a fierce fight and confrontation between the two teams in Manchester United's backcourt.

Modric assessed the situation and adjusted the rhythm appropriately.

Manchester United is a little anxious.

Because the time factor works against them.

In the 71st minute of the game, when the Manchester United midfielder was surrounding Kaká and Modric, Kanter sent an ordinary diagonal pass in response.

After the ball rolled to Royce's feet, he dribbled in and faced Manchester United's back line.

Rafael's press was overcome by his quick and flexible control of the ball, and then he accelerated his dribbling and cut inside to complete the breakthrough.

Ferdinand and Vidic still pay more attention to Suarez's forward threat.

Royce moved the ball forward and shot from the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

The football flew straight into the upper left corner of the goal!

The ball was hit cleanly.

But it also made many viewers feel that entering was a bit too easy.

Royce showed a happy smile and ran to the sidelines to celebrate with arms spread out, earning the screams of countless female Leeds fans.

Shengshi Meiyan scored a goal.

Leeds United 4:1 Manchester United.

Ferguson's mentality was a bit explosive.

The reason for the explosion was that Manchester United's young players did not grow up to expectations.

For example, Anderson and Nani have been in the team for a long time.

Manchester United spent a lot of money on them.

But compared with the young players of Leeds United.

Leeds United spent a small amount of money, but found a treasure.

It is not surprising that in today's European football, if there are young players who are appreciated by Shen Hao, they have almost no resistance to Leeds United.

The tyrant in white never wastes team resources.

In addition to "veterans" like Seth Johnson and Carlisle on the team, the players he introduced either have strength or potential.

The success rate of young players is 100% in the eyes of the outside world!

How can we prevent young players from flocking to them?

What's more important is that the time from growth to transformation is not long.

Just like when he arrived at Leeds United, he quickly figured it out and completed a gorgeous turn.

Shen Hao continued to make substitutions.

Rakitic and Casemiro appear.

He replaced Kaka and Modric.

In today's situation, midfield training couldn't be better.

The midfield combination of Kanter and Casemiro further strengthens the defense.

It can be said that Manchester United's midfield organization has no possibility of sudden breakthrough, so it can only go to the wing.

The breakthrough of Giggs and Nani on the wing was not ideal.

Kyle Walker learns from every experience. Anyway, the 37-year-old Giggs cannot beat him with his speed. He only needs to delay Giggs and patiently look for opportunities to steal the ball.

The confrontation between Baines and Nani was even more intense, but even if Nani broke through Baines, the continuity of ball control was not very good, making it difficult to generate a threat in the next step.

At best, it’s a cross from the wing.

Hernandez's ability to grab points in the middle is generally ineffective.

Manchester United's backcourt defense began to allow fouls and mistakes, and the actions were not ruthless, but it was difficult to escape the yellow card penalty for tactical fouls.

Gareth Bale and Royce's sudden advances from the wing and teamwork with Suarez constantly caused fouls.

The number of yellow players in Manchester United's midfield and backfield is gradually increasing.

But time is running out.

Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench after 75 minutes of the game, watching the game with his legs crossed, calm and composed.

It seems that Manchester United can no longer pose a threat to Leeds United that he takes seriously.

Manchester United fans were furious but helpless.

In injury time, Giggs sent an oblique overhead pass from the wing.

Thiago Silva and Hummels flanked Hernandez, but the latter succeeded in volleying the ball with his leg raised.

But when he wanted to control the ball and make a change in the next step, Neuer destroyed the ball head-on.

Rooney followed up and wanted to shoot directly, but Kanter made a tackle and swept the ball to the side.

This is the end of Manchester United's threatening offensive.

The final whistle sounded.

The fans in white cheered and showed off their victory to the Manchester United fans unceremoniously!

Leeds United defeated Manchester United 4:1 away from home, continuing their winning streak and breaking Manchester United's unbeaten streak in the league this season.
