Chapter 469 Change the world? Sword pointing at the throne?
Chapter 469 Change the world? Sword pointing at the throne?
The atmosphere at the City Stadium, Manchester City's home ground, is completely different now than it was in the past.
The scene was full of excitement, and every Manchester City fan had a look of excited anticipation on their face.
When Shen Hao led his team here as a guest, Manchester City fans were not afraid even if they were not arrogant.
When Shen Hao walked along the tunnel and passed the starting players of the two teams, he was suddenly stopped by one of the Manchester City players.
He took a closer look and saw Ronaldinho.
This shocked the Manchester City players.
According to reports in Fleet Street, Ronaldinho has broken with Master Shen Hao.
Ronaldinho was purged from Leeds United to Manchester City by Shen Hao.
Otherwise, why would Shen Hao be so heartless towards Ronaldinho?
All Manchester City generals are worried that Ronaldinho will act irrationally when he sees Shen Hao again.
Captain Kompany was ready to turn around to separate Ronaldinho and Shen Hao to avoid physical conflict.
Although he joined Manchester City and was regarded by Manchester City as a mainstay in their rise, Kompany was full of gratitude to Shen Hao.
But the next scene surprised everyone.
Ronaldinho and Shen Hao smiled and hugged briefly, then greeted each other happily.
The Leeds United general just glanced and then looked back.
Although Ronaldinho was obviously troubled before leaving and no longer had the "carefreeness" of the past, he never had any conflict with Shen Hao.
But the Manchester City generals were confused and confused.
Didn't they cut off their robes and become enemies?
Why are you still hugging me?
It seems that the relationship between the two has not deteriorated, and may even be better than before.
After all, many players will obviously maintain a sense of distance from the coach of their old club after leaving the team.
Manchester City's generals instantly understood that Ronaldinho's transfer from Leeds United was not what was reported in Fleet Street.
Sure enough, media bullshit is commonplace.
Shen Hao and Ronaldinho exchanged a few words and walked out of the players' tunnel.
Ronaldinho was also grateful to Shen Hao from the bottom of his heart.
After he had lost the motivation to fight on the green field, Shen Hao paved a more comfortable and comfortable way for him to make a lot of money.
He has some privileges at Manchester City, so even if he is occasionally late for training and shows a lack of urgency and intensity in training, it will not cause conflicts.
He still works very hard on the court, which quickly won him the support of Manchester City fans. After all, as long as he performs well, he is different.
It is magic football that other players cannot play even if they try their best.
Roberto Mancini stood on the sidelines, wearing suits and ties that showed the elegance of the Italian coach.
Shen Hao also stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle. His aura was not only not weak, but also impossible to ignore. He was absolutely shining.
All starting players from both teams appeared on the field.
Shen Hao looked at Manchester City's starting lineup and saw that it was indeed very strong.
Goalkeeper: Given.
Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Kolo Toure, Garrido.
Midfielder: Vieira, Adam Johnson, De Jong.
Forwards: Tevez, Adebayor, Ronaldinho.
For Leeds United, a group of substitutes came on to fight.
Four days later, Leeds United need to go away to challenge Lyon.
The main force Tiantuan recharges its energy.
Amid the fanatical cheers of Manchester City fans, the game officially kicked off.
Manchester City launched a strong attack very actively.
Leeds United resisted the pressure.
Ronaldinho picked up the pace on the left side of the frontcourt and began to conduct "military training" on Kyle Walker and Kante, who was assisting in defense.
Kanter fought frequently, but was always missed by Ronaldinho's ball control fakes and changes of direction.
Kyle Walker is much simpler, but once Ronaldinho speeds up and rushes forward, Kyle Walker has only one way to retreat and block the line.
Press?
That would probably be a death penalty.
Make yourself a moving stake.
After experiencing a high-end game against Real Madrid, Kyle Walker knew very well that facing a player with outstanding skills, his pressing was no different from suicide in the eyes of his opponent.
Although Leeds United seemed very passive due to the impact of Ronaldinho, at least there was no problem with the defensive strategy.
Ronaldinho distributes the ball flexibly and transfers the attack.
Young player Adam Johnson has impact, but it is naturally difficult to penetrate the defense of Seth Johnson and Rakitic.
Therefore, Manchester City's biggest threat still comes from the direct connection between Ronaldinho and Adebayor or Carlos Tevez.
Manchester City fans applauded every time Ronaldinho organized and delivered threatening balls.
The situation on the scene that suppressed Leeds United's offense made them ecstatic and their confidence doubled.
At the same time, their defense also looked very good.
De Jong flexibly covers the lateral area behind the center line to help defend the wings, leaving the center to Vieira.
Whether it was Gareth Bale rushing in from the wing or Royce instigating an offensive from the left, Leeds United was severely suppressed.
Therefore, the quality of fast breaks and counterattacks is somewhat low.
After all, Manchester City's Kompany and Kolo Toure, who sit on the back line, have both strength and experience, and their defensive quality is good.
Shen Hao looked solemnly on the sidelines.
Ronaldinho's strength has dropped by 3 points this season from his peak in the Champions League final last season to now.
But he is still a top player with 185 abilities.
Therefore, even if Leeds United's right defense can limit the threat of Ronaldinho's personal breakthrough today, it will be difficult to completely freeze the opponent.
When Ronaldinho delivered threatening balls into the penalty area time and time again.
Leeds United's defense was still exposed despite repeated attacks.
Just after 30 minutes of the game, Ronaldinho sent an overhead pass from the wing.
Adebayor made a diagonal run, used his strong body to unload the ball with his chest under the challenge of Hummels, and then immediately turned around and volleyed!
The ball was of good quality. Although the ball speed was not particularly fast, it flew straight to the far corner of the goal.
Toldo tried his best to make a quick save and blocked the ball with one palm.
Already reacted very quickly.
But the next second Tevez went to the small penalty area and shot the ball into the goal!
Kilgalon failed to clear the siege immediately and was a step too late!
The City Stadium was filled with cheers.
Manchester City fans were ecstatic.
"Haha, we scored Leeds United's goal!"
"Leeds United are still the dominant players in the Premier League for the time being, so let them stay in this position for a while. Soon, this position will be ours!"
"If we buy a few heavyweight players in the summer, it will be an era for us to go sideways in the Premier League!"
What Robert Manchini needs now is victory, so as long as the team leads, he is happy.
As for what it means to be ahead of Leeds at home...it doesn't mean anything.
Because Leeds United did not join the main team.
He knows very well that as long as Kaka is on the court, Leeds United's attack in the middle is enough to make De Jong and Vieira unable to do anything, and the chain reaction is that Leeds United's wing attack will explode into a greater threat.
After all, Manchester City and Leeds United are still teams of different levels.
In order to continue to dominate European football, Leeds United trains in the league to let the main team recuperate.
This is not something you can just do if you want to.
It's that Leeds United has accumulated advantages in the early stage, which reflects its overall strength!
Leeds United fell behind, Shen Hao was thoughtful.
Leeds United's offensive and defensive transition was not cut off, but the frontcourt offense lacked links and easily fell into the dilemma of being surrounded.
The current situation required strengthening the offense, and he decided to wait a little longer to see if there would be any changes in attitude and playing style after Manchester City took the lead.
Leeds United kicked off, but Manchester City's attitude remained unchanged.
Blue Moon knows very well that a one-goal lead is not safe.
And facing Leeds United's substitute lineup today, it is natural to try to maximize the advantage.
Leeds United's passivity is still so clear.
Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end.
Adebayor took the initiative to provide support to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho cut inside to the left side of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he pulled the ball with his feet to dodge Kante's press, and then shot hard.
boom!
The football hit the far post and bounced into the goal!
Manchester City 2:0 Leeds United!
Ronaldinho did not choose to celebrate after scoring.
He just smiled and gave a simple high-five to his running teammates.
Leeds United fans groaned.
It wasn't until they saw Ronaldinho's wonderful performance again that they remembered the good things he had brought to Leeds United again.
Some people may also question why Shen Hao sold Ronaldinho to Manchester City.
It seems that Ronaldinho's performance today is enough to prove that he can make a huge contribution to the team by staying at Leeds United.
Shen Hao never said that Ronaldinho's departure was a matter of strength. To be precise, it was a matter of discipline and prediction of the future. He took a step in advance.
If Ronaldinho waits until his decline is obvious and the whole world sees that his strength has dropped, can he still be sold for 7500 million pounds?
I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it even if I discount it in half.
Shen Hao made adjustments during the halftime break.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City obviously wanted to maintain the offensive intensity of the first half.
But failed to achieve the corresponding quality.
Because Ronaldinho's state is obviously a little relaxed.
Leeds United increased its fire support in the counterattack.
Rakitic and Baines moved forward to bring more changes to Leeds United's offense.
Leeds United's offense, which had been frequently surrounded and suppressed before, also began to show threats.
Kompany's outstanding and key performance at this time continued to resolve dangerous situations.
As the game approached 65 minutes, Manchester City defended successfully in the backcourt. After the fast break advanced to the frontcourt, Ronaldinho on the left turned into a feint and quickly passed the ball back to the center.
Veteran Vieira reached the edge of the dangerous offensive area and took on the heavy responsibility of offensive transfer.
When Tevez succeeded in cutting inside, Kilgallon, who was single, broke through from the outside and sent a cross.
Adebayor actively grabbed the point and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
Manchester City fans are going crazy again!
"3:0! Haha, Premier League hegemon, nothing more than that!"
"It's great, the arrogant Leeds United can no longer be arrogant in front of us!"
"Farke, if it weren't for Mark Hughes, we might be able to compete for the title now!"
Since Manchester City has defeated Chelsea before, if they win Leeds United at home today.
So judging from the record, Manchester City seems to have the strength to participate in the championship.
But this season is definitely hopeless.
The camera locked on Shen Hao's face.
The tyrant in white remained calm and clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team.
Robert Mancini showed a faint smile at this time, as if the game was completely under his control.
Leeds United's bench did not lose their fighting spirit and courage due to being three goals behind.
The team continued to launch a stronger offensive, and Manchester City's defense did continue to have dangerous situations.
The quality of Manchester City's offense has further declined.
The reason lies in the decline of Ronaldinho's running.
The Samba Elf whose ability has dropped by 3 points, where exactly are the three points of ability weakened?
The body is a big head!
So now it is basically difficult for him to maintain a high-intensity 90-minute game.
As the game progresses, his physical fitness becomes less and less.
Therefore, it cannot support him to make a strong enough ball-control explosion.
But it is difficult for Manchester City fans to see this, or they think it is normal.
After all, Ronaldinho is the protagonist, their trump card.
There was enough threat in the game.
It's normal to slow down and slow down now.
Leeds United's young lineup was able to maintain its intensity.
Just after the 75th minute of the game, Royce passed the ball back from the left side of the front court, and Baynes responded by transferring the attack to the center.
Rakitic took possession of the ball and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
Gareth Bale cut in and drove the ball directly into the penalty area. Using Suarez's movement as a cover, he dribbled and adjusted from behind the opponent and fired a high-quality shot.
The football flew into the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Given's save was unable to save the day.
Leeds United fans were instantly excited.
The passion of the Manchester City fans came to an abrupt end. They looked at each other with an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Who doesn’t dare to be arrogant anymore?
Only a goal was pulled back, but the worry about gain and loss in the hearts of Manchester City fans became extremely strong.
Mancini began to make substitutions and adjustments at this time.
He did not replace Ronaldinho.
You have to give some face to the superstar.
Superstars are not at the mercy of others like ordinary stars.
If the performance is good, keep it. If the performance starts to slip, then replace it.
That's the treatment of ordinary players and ordinary stars.
Superstars must stay on the court even if their performance declines.
At least that's the case for most teams.
Adebayor was replaced but appeared to be in a bad mood.
But he didn’t dare to lose his temper with Roberto Mancini.
Manchester City, who had just made a substitution, found that the frequency of attacks by Leeds United not only did not decrease, but increased!
Because Leeds United's defensive efficiency has improved, it has brought more frequent opportunities to switch from defense to offense.
In the 86th minute of the game, Suarez ran in the penalty area to receive Royce's pass, but was cleared by Kompany first.
However, when making a clearance, Suarez consciously bumped into the opponent, causing Kompany's body to become unbalanced and the ball flew out of the baseline.
Kompany complained to the referee, who ignored him.
Royce took a tactical corner kick, and Baynes stopped the ball on the wing and then made a pass.
When the football flew to the back of the penalty area, Kilgallon jumped up in the crowd and shook his head to attack the goal.
The football went through a slight parabola and then fell into the upper right corner of the goal!
Ji Wen is powerless!
Leeds United recovered another goal.
Manchester City's lead is only 1 goal left!
The expressions of Manchester City fans in the City Stadium stands became extremely solemn.
There was panic spreading in my heart.
