Chapter 428: The roles are reversed, and I’m on top!
The new Premier League season kicks off in mid-August.
At the same time, Bai Muxin also returned to campus to continue her doctoral studies.
Shen Hao supports her life plan of continuing her studies.
There are always some people who are suitable for living and learning, constantly enriching themselves and making their inner world more colorful.
As a man with no academic qualifications at all, Shen Hao may have very tacky thoughts in his heart.
The higher Bai Muxin's academic qualifications are, the more proud he will be.
...
Leeds United visited Villa Park in the first round of the new Premier League season. Aston Villa, led by Martin O'Neill, ranked seventh in the league last season. Unfortunately, midfielder Gareth Barry was poached by Manchester City in the summer.
Whether he can maintain his outstanding performance from last season in the new season will test his coaching ability.
Aston Villa still played defensive counterattack at home.
Leeds United attacked away from home, established a foothold and quickly began to press and attack.
Aston Villa is obviously wary of Ronaldinho, who no longer looks slightly bloated.
But... Leeds United did not attack the left wing after launching a fierce attack.
When Ronaldo and Ronaldinho formed a regional attack posture, they certainly attracted Aston Villa's defense to tilt.
However, Leeds United feinted from the left and quickly shifted their attack to the right.
Deisler and Belletti cooperated to break through the wing defense and then cut inside. The inverted triangle passed back to find Kaka who was advancing.
Like the blazing sun, the Son of God entered the Aston Villa penalty area and penetrated the Aston Villa backline with a flurry of changes in direction, and then shot the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Simply neat, all in one go!
"Wow! Kaká's first Premier League goal came so quickly! The summer transfer champion of the Premier League used his performance to announce to the world that he has reached a new level in coming to White Jersey!"
"I think this has a lot to do with Brother Hao's formation. Most other teams would let Kaká play as a bright card to charge forward, but Brother Hao used the team to create a good environment for him to attack from behind. , both unexpected and able to exert the greatest threat!"
"Of course, my brother Hao is a peerless genius that won't be born for a hundred years..."
"Well, if you put it like that, I doubt that Brother Hao has practiced the Tathagata Palm."
"Hahaha."
Martin O'Neill frowned slightly.
The first half of the game was only half played.
He discovered two problems.
One is that although Aston Villa has a correct attitude, the team's condition is not as good as Leeds United.
This is like a gap in hard power.
As long as Leeds United enters the state faster, the advantage they can create and widen the gap with their opponents can definitely ignore the factor of playing away or at home.
The other is that Aston Villa seem to have made a mistake.
They focused on defending Ronaldinho, but the opponent did not pose a panic threat.
This can't help but make Martin O'Neal a little entangled and regretful.
Facing a player like Ronaldinho, even if you repeatedly tell the players, don't take it too seriously.
But when it comes to fighting on the court, who can really relax?
Leeds United actually grasped this aspect of their opponents' psychology, and Shen Hao's formation was based on this point.
Feint attack from the left, attack from the right, and see the enemy in the middle!
Before the end of the half, Leeds United repeated its old tricks and once again created a fatal threat.
Only this time, Kaka was alerted by his opponent to block the inside line on the right side of the penalty area, so Kaka simply rushed towards the bottom line, taking advantage of the offensive depth and immediately started to pass.
The half-high ball flew to the small penalty area. Ronaldo grabbed the point and volleyed the ball into the Aston Villa goal!
"Ronaldo's wonderful volley! Assist from Kaká!"
"Kaká's Premier League debut did not disappoint, he passed and shot in just the first half!"
"I believe countless fans in white will applaud the team's summer signings!"
It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old.
However, Shen Hao is still more concerned about Ronaldo's performance at this time.
Ronaldo has returned to his family. Although he will not become a self-discipline monster, he has indeed become much more honest since getting married.
And as he grows older and accumulates more experience, he now thinks more about his future life.
Ordinary people are limited to thinking.
But Ronaldo has already begun to plan the second half of his life.
Maybe the Brazilian seniors have had painful experiences.
For example, Garrincha was in poverty after retirement.
Or Bailey, who was deceived and bankrupted by his agent.
Now Ronaldo has begun to invest in multiple industries, some to resist economic risks, and others in the hope of obtaining high returns in the future.
During the last two evening poker games, Ronaldo asked Tang Jinyu for some professional investment advice from time to time.
Shen Hao would not think that he was not doing his job properly.
Thinking more and arranging life plans shows that he is more focused on business matters.
If this level is taken into consideration, then playing well and ending your career smoothly can also create a very rich fortune.
Aston Villa trailed 0:2 at home.
Returning to the locker room at halftime, Martin O'Neill reworked his tactics.
However, now that they are two goals behind, it is unrealistic for Aston Villa to play from the back.
Shen Hao returned to the locker room and made adjustments intensively.
He hopes to see a positive performance from Ronaldinho in the second half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Aston Villa's defense adjusted, wary of Kaká's threat from behind, and at the same time restricted Leeds United's attack from the right.
This will definitely give Ronaldinho a better environment to perform than in the first half.
Shen Hao was watching his performance from the sidelines.
Ronaldinho showed a positive attitude, and every time he advanced with the ball, he had a certain style, which made people foresee that he would bring a huge threat.
But it soon dawned on people: their premonition was wrong.
The consistency of Ronaldinho's ball control breakthroughs is obviously more likely to expose problems with his own state.
From a technical point of view, he can do every move, but when combined together to create a powerful threat, it's not even interesting.
This makes the chances he creates unsatisfactory.
But taking a step back, Shen Hao still wasn't too picky.
It is absolutely unrealistic to expect Ronaldinho to play at the level of last season's Champions League final in every game.
It must be too much.
Overall, he at least looks a lot better than the Samba Goblin who returned from summer vacation.
After all, Aston Villa was a team that defended very well last season.
The defensive strength can rank among the top five in the Premier League.
It is understandable and acceptable that the hard attack failed to destroy their dense defense.
Aston Villa's final counterattack failed to pose a threat because there was actually no particularly strong reversal of attitude.
Leeds United controlled the field at the last moment to delay the game and successfully got a good start in the league, scoring all 3 points at Villa Park.
Kaka was elected man of the match after the game.
In an interview, Kaka expressed his excitement about joining Leeds United and his ambition to compete in the Premier League.
He wants to succeed in this league.
Fleet Street, on the one hand, put Kaká on a pedestal.
When Ronaldo left the Premier League, it symbolized the loss of the popularity of a superstar in the Premier League, but the arrival of Kaka made up for this very well.
The only fly in the ointment is that Kaká plays for Leeds United, which makes the European hegemon seem to become even more powerful.
Fleet Street, on the other hand, lashed out at Ronaldinho's performance.
As long as Ronaldinho does not dominate the field, he will have nowhere to hide under the media's gun.
There is a World Cup next year.
Therefore, the league schedule this season will be compressed.
Try to give the national football team more time to prepare for the World Cup.
The FA naturally has selfish motives in this regard.
They will create better preparation conditions for the Three Lions.
Obviously, allowing the local league to end earlier will give the players of the England representative team a better buffer.
Leeds United will face Wolves at home in midweek.
Shen Hao continues to use the main lineup. At the beginning of the season, improving the competitive status of the main team is the top priority.
Shen Hao had already had psychological expectations for the Wolves to set up a bus for the away game.
Even if the opponent didn't set up a bus, he would find it incredible.
Leeds United's style of play is the same as in the first round.
Feint attack from the left, Ronaldinho restrained and supported.
After shifting the offensive, they rushed forward from the right. The cooperation between Deisler and Belletti allowed the Wolves to always expose some gaps and flaws during the adjustment of the defensive line.
Kaka's sudden attack from the middle is very threatening.
But he was also made a little impatient because the Wolves defensive players did not watch the ball and simply rushed.
There are still very few Premier League teams that purely play against each other in European competitions.
Even Chelsea are known for their tenacity, not their roughness.
As for the British local battlefield, as long as the referee's penalty scale is as loose as the waistband of an old lady's cotton trousers, then the middle and lower-tier teams will make full use of this condition to maximize physical combat.
The Wolves repeatedly used muscle collisions to make Kaka understand what kind of league he was coming to.
However, Kaka became more and more courageous with every setback.
Although both teams failed to score in the first half of the game.
But at the beginning of the second half, Leeds United's strong attack swept the frontcourt.
Kaka received the ball from outside the penalty area and made a wave of violent continuous passes. He accelerated to get rid of one person, entered the penalty area and changed the direction of the ball to pass the second person, and then blasted the goal!
Elland Road is buzzing!
"Kaka! Unstoppable Kaka!"
"His breakthroughs are never flashy, not even like a Brazilian or even South American player, but he can always make his opponents see but cannot stop him with changes in rhythm and breakthrough routes!"
"I really hope to see Ronaldinho completely revived. In this case, how powerful the dream combination of the Brazilian trio will be!"
The Wolves' city gate was declared lost.
They didn't fight back.
Small teams are more likely to recognize reality.
Even if the bus is not blocking it, can they be safe if they break out of the defense line?
At this stage of the season, when small teams encounter Leeds United, they have begun to adopt a cautious attitude to avoid being massacred.
After all, what if they were massacred by the white clothes at the beginning of the season.
Maybe the whole team's mentality will collapse.
Then it is likely to dig a hole for the season that is not easy to fill.
After the goal, Leeds United once again shifted its main attack direction. It was no longer a feint on the left, and the team created opportunities for Ronaldinho to deliver cannonballs.
Shen Hao hopes to help Ronaldinho improve his condition as soon as possible in actual combat.
Facing the intensive defense of Wolves, Ronaldinho began a dazzling breakthrough with the ball.
But often the operation is as fierce as a tiger's, and one's eyes are fixed on the position of the pestle.
It is true that the environment is not ideal.
As the game approached 70 minutes, Shen Hao began to make substitutions.
Reserve your strength for the Rose Derby at the weekend.
This season's Rose Derby comes earlier than usual.
Gareth Bale, Rakitic and Suarez came on the bench.
Kaka, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were substituted together.
Shen Hao originally thought that the Wolves would have ideas for the game after Leeds United made the substitution.
But even if the other party has ideas, they don't have many.
It was still intensive defense for a long time, and only a symbolic counterattack was launched at the last moment.
Of course, Leeds United is wary of the opponent's failure.
The Wolves' counterattack was not allowed to succeed, and Leeds United ended smoothly at home.
Defeating the Wolves 1:0 can be said to be very unsatisfactory.
However, Leeds United fans showed tolerance and kept singing praises for the team after the game.
Fleet Street continues to torture Ronaldinho.
The biggest upset in this round of the league in midweek was Manchester United's loss to Burnley away from home.
In the first two rounds of the league, the North London duo were a bit fierce.
Arsenal won two consecutive games and scored 10 goals in two rounds.
Tottenham defeated Liverpool at home in the opening game and beat Hull City midweek.
In addition, Chelsea also has two consecutive victories, averaging close to 3 goals per game.
In the new season of the Premier League, there is a strong momentum for the rise of London.
All eyes are on Elland Road this weekend.
The Rose Derby has become as much a focus of the Premier League as the English Derby.
Shen Hao used cold words to tear off Manchester United's fig leaf at the pre-match press conference.
"There is no intention to slander Manchester United, but Manchester United's investment over the years has caused Leeds United to lose an opponent. Without Ferguson, Manchester United is probably just a team that is better than the second-rate team. With all due respect, you can say that Leeds United has Kaká was eliminated, and the strength was strengthened. Ronaldinho was in poor condition, and his strength declined. One was going down, the other was going up, and the overall strength had not changed much.
But what about Manchester United?
Compared with the previous season, who is missing in their combat effectiveness? Has the strength declined or improved?
In the past Rose Derby, Manchester United was superior and did not pay attention to Leeds United at all.
Now in the Rose Derby, our roles have been reversed.
I don't think Manchester United can pose a threat to Leeds United. "
Once again, Shen Hao was speechless and refused to give up. He pushed Manchester United to the ground and frantically rubbed them at the level of public opinion.
Ferguson's pre-match press conference at the same time was more cautious.
As a result, when the match day came, the report in Fleet Street was that the tyrant in white stole the show, and he had the air to suppress Manchester United forever.
Just like he said back then, his team would suppress Arsenal.
Manchester United fans were furious.
The long-simmering resentment found some outlet in the gang fight among extreme fans.
It is an old tradition for the extreme fan organizations of both sides to have a fight in the suburbs when the derby game comes.
As long as no one is killed, the media won't bother to pay attention.
After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in every corner of English football, which is full of confrontational emotions.
