Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 323: Prepare for a rainy day and destroy the gods!

The draw results for the Champions League quarter-finals prompted Fleet Street to denounce that UEFA must have done it intentionally.

In the context of the collective strength of the Premier League teams, such a draw result is the best way to weaken the dominance of the Premier League forces in the Champions League.

If the four Premier League teams are separated, it is likely that the top four of the Champions League will be monopolized by the Premier League teams.

In that case, what will happen to the Champions League?

Not to mention the English League Cup, but it also looks like the English FA Cup.

Shen Hao has never been interested in drawing lots.

No matter what UEFA arranges, he can accept it.

As long as you don't blow the whistle during the game, you will hit anyone.

In the Champions League, it is impossible to avoid strong teams.

It is originally a stage for the strong.

How can you be obsessed with pinching a soft persimmon all day long?

On Saturday evening, as night fell, Leeds United faced the challenge of Arsenal at Elland Road.

On weekdays, Leeds United and Arsenal have little intersection of topics.

But in these two seasons, whenever the two sides meet, the public opinion environment will be tense.

Arsenal fans suddenly discovered that they hated Leeds United more than Manchester United.

Spurs remain number one on their hate list.

No matter what Manchester United used to do, they at least looked up to Arsenal.

Leeds United now always displays a domineering attitude towards Arsenal.

Even if Arsenal are the team that has held the top spot for the longest time this season, they will still be lightly expressed by the Leeds tyrant.

Wenger was also puzzled.

Is my team that bad?

Can't say bad.

It can only be said that Shen Hao cannot see anything particularly strong.

At the current level of Leeds United, there are only two types of teams that can make Shen Hao fearful.

Either the team's skills and tactics are super strong, or there is a superstar in the team who can dominate the outcome of the game.

Arsenal doesn't have either of those.

Leeds United and Arsenal both played in the Champions League during the week.

Compared to Arsenal going away to play AC Milan, Leeds United went to Madrid lightly.

Come the weekend, Arsenal continue to play away games.

It is conceivable that there is still a physical gap between the two teams.

All Leeds United's main players came on stage to fight.

Candela returns from injury.

Shen Hao couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Candela's ability value has been reduced by 5 points, and his potential value has been reduced by 4 points.

The impact of a major injury on a player is obvious.

Candela, which was originally close to 170, is now 163.

Considering that I will be 34 years old in half a year.

In the full-back position, which requires a strong physical foundation, Candela may have to step aside from now on, let alone next season.

After all, Baynes' ability continues to grow this season, and he is already numerically similar to Candela now, and there is still room for improvement.

It can only be said that at critical moments, Shen Hao still trusts Candela's experience more.

Baynes still needs to accumulate.

But next season, if the left back position does not change in terms of transfer operations, then it is logical for Baynes to at least be promoted from a rotation player to a substitute.

Arsenal started 442 today.

Goalkeeper: Almunia.

Defenders: Sagna, Senderos, Gallas, Clichy.

Midfielder: Flamini, Hleb, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva.

Forwards: Bendtner, Adebayor.

Shen Hao didn't know what Wenger's idea was of placing two high center forwards in front.

Can Arsenal still suppress Leeds United?

Otherwise, who will deliver the shells to these two centers?

Just rely on a frontal pass?

Who relies on crosses from the wing?

Are Krishi and Sania coming for a sneak attack?

After the start of the game, Leeds United gradually increased their pace.

This season Shen Hao's carefully crafted full-back perpetual offensive tactics have become extremely proficient.

Belletti and Van Bronckhorst rushed to the front court one after another to create threats.

Wenger is still prepared.

Flamini and Gilberto Silva helped defend the wing in advance, preventing Leeds United's wing attack from opening up the situation.

But only Hleb and Fabregas are left in the middle. Leeds United will naturally create opportunities for teammates in the middle.

Just after 15 minutes of the game, Modric assisted from the center. Robben and Belletti were clamped on the right, but Robben passed the ball to the center and found his teammates.

Looking back, it seems that Leeds United formed a containment on the right, covering the attack of teammates in the center.

Without waiting for Fabregas to get close, Modric kicked the ball and sent a short pass.

Ronaldo stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot in the middle of the penalty area and then spiked the ball forward slightly. Galas immediately formed a closed defense with Senderos.

But in the next second, Ronaldo suddenly changed the direction of the ball and successfully broke through from the right side of Galas. He only passed half a body before connecting with a leg swinging volley.

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

Almunia made a flying save but failed.

The Elland Road stadium suddenly boils!

"Ronaldo! He controlled the ball in a small area and used his superb shooting skills to open the scoring for Leeds United!"

"Arsenal was very passive in terms of pace today, which should be related to the Champions League match in midweek."

"Arsenal failed to win in the past two rounds of the league and drew with Birmingham and Aston Villa respectively. It is obvious that they paid the price of their league record for the Champions League round of 16."

"Oh, even if Arsenal were in their heyday, we would still deal with them at home. Don't forget, we are the team that has written records in Arsenal's history!"

"Haha, that's true."

Arsenal fans are devastated.

Losing points in the past two rounds has wiped out their lead, and they were overtaken by Leeds United.

Today we have a top-of-the-table battle with Leeds United.

But the scene was not a battle between powerful and powerful dialogues from the beginning.

Leeds United entered the state faster and had the advantage of playing at home. In addition, the overall morale and confidence of the team were significantly stronger than Arsenal.

Completely suppressed in terms of momentum.

Leeds United's own technical and tactical performance was also impeccable. On the other hand, Arsenal, who were led by the nose and were increasingly disadvantaged, could only struggle to support it.

Wenger sat on the coaching bench and rubbed his hands.

Yesterday, he looked relaxed during the interview before the game.

When it came time to fight, he didn't show a heavy heart to the outside world, more like... restless.

Maybe the nonsense like "Arsenal is no worse than Leeds United" is because he is hypnotizing himself.

Shen Hao was not surprised by the goal.

Ronaldo looked thoughtful as he celebrated his goal.

Ronaldo will be 32 years old next season.

If Ronaldo climbed back to the top last season, people could still see his invincible dribbling breakthrough that combines man and ball.

Such running scenes have been greatly reduced this season.

In addition to Leeds United's own tactical reasons for focusing on wing attacks, in the later stages of Ronaldo's career, forwards of his type will definitely have to start subtracting.

When I was young, I could shoot suddenly.

You will definitely need to transform after entering the ranks of veterans.

Focus on the advantages and characteristics that can be maintained.

Definitely a shot for him.

As long as his shooting skills don't decline, it's okay to transform into an opportunistic forward.

Nothing else, just shoot.

Leeds United 1:0 Arsenal.

The Arsenal generals on the field saw that the situation was not good.

Leeds United are not the ones who just give up when things get good.

In this state of diarrhea today, facing Leeds United who are like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Arsenal, let alone winning peace, escaped from Elland Road unscathed.

It would be nice not to be washed in blood.

The wing is completely unstoppable!

If the midfielder assists in defense, the center cannot stop it.

It's like their defense is leaking from all sides.

Maybe they played two rounds with AC Milan and sealed AC Milan zero.

That's why they themselves don't feel that there is much problem with their defense line.

However, AC Milan's offensive firepower is not strong this season, especially when facing slightly stronger opponents.

If it weren't for the 7 goals scored by Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage.

AC Milan has not averaged even one goal per game in the Champions League this season.

Facing Leeds United's continued strong attack.

The Arsenal midfielder did not dare to over-defend the wings, but instead defended the center and shrank the defense to protect the 25-yard dangerous area in front of the goal.

Clichy and Sagna also saw the situation clearly and consciously gave up perimeter defense to compress the space in the penalty area.

Leeds United formed a frontcourt pressure half-court attack and defense.

Arsenal fans looked blank as they watched their team being beaten passively.

"Didn't Wenger expect to face such great pressure on the road?"

"Where did we get the courage to try and suppress Leeds at Elland Road? If not, why bring on Bendtner and Adebayor, how fast they can run on the counter-attack?"

"Even if Walcott is not included, wouldn't it be more stable to defend by withdrawing a striker?"

As they beat, people suddenly realized that the words of the former Leeds tyrant were becoming reality.

When Arsenal face Leeds United, the best way is to set up a bus and fight back.

Arsenal said no.

The body is honest.

I’m really scared of being beaten!

The Leeds United fans watched with gusto, cheering and enjoying the pleasure of Leeds United's strikers bullying Arsenal's defense.

Leeds United's shot never stopped.

However, the opponent's intensive defense made it much more difficult for Leeds United to score.

Before the end of the half, Deisler, who had been working diligently to connect the offense and create opportunities for Ronaldo and Robben, suddenly tried a long shot outside the penalty area.

The football drew a parabola, passed over the defensive player's head and fell into the upper right corner of the goal!

"Wow! Deisler made waves in the world! Leeds United wins again!"

"Haha, Leeds United fired 18 shots in the first half and only scored two goals. It's not very efficient."

"Haha, come on, on average, less than 10 shots are exchanged for a goal. Isn't this efficient? How many teams can't exchange 10 shots for a goal."

Wenger was at a loss.

Maybe my head has already thought of an excuse for losing this game.

They made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

That's enough.

Shen Hao clapped his hands and applauded.

He was...disappointed with Arsenal's performance.

The Gunners just lack the tenacity to take home the championship trophy!

It seems that they are satisfied when they are praised when they lead the standings. Even if they are overtaken, they will not struggle to save it.

Henry, Vieira and Adams were in demand in that era.

Gone forever.

Shen Hao has never denied that Arsenal is an excellent team.

Even if he said Leeds United would keep Arsenal underfoot for a long time.

But it doesn't mean Arsenal has become worthless.

Quite the opposite.

Suppressing a weak team will not bring any sense of achievement to Leeds United.

Arsenal are still better than most teams.

But Shen Hao is confident that Leeds United will remain stronger and better than Arsenal.

Halftime is over.

Shen Hao did not enter the locker room.

As he paced the sidelines, the Leeds women's half-time show was moving and exciting, but he was thinking about Manchester United.

Manchester United won the early Premier League match.

In other words, in the real-time standings, Manchester United has overtaken Arsenal.

Leeds United leads Manchester United by 4 points.

The 4-point gap is nothing at present. Only in the final stage will the leading team have a fault-tolerant advantage.

Shen Hao didn't care about the points difference.

What he cares about is the scorer list.

Ronaldo, who came from behind, is more efficient than last season.

Last season he only made it into the top five scorers, but this season there is already a trend of keeping pace with Ronaldo.

In August and September last year, Ronaldo's data was ugly.

Manchester United and Leeds United suffered a sluggish start at the same time.

But both teams rebounded strongly at almost the same time.

From that time on, Ronaldo's performance became stronger and stronger.

If you exclude August and September.

10,11,12.

Entering January and February of this year.

In five months, Ronaldo averaged a terrifying efficiency of one goal per game!

And he's still on the rise.

When it will reach the top, no one can know.

Shen Hao didn't know either.

Because for players who have exceeded 190 ability, Shen Hao has no experience in how much strength improvement each point of increase in ability value can translate into.

In the past, we only had a rough understanding of it, but we had never followed it closely and observed it, so it was naturally impossible to evaluate.

The cruelty of real society is that 1% of people control 99% of the world's wealth and resources.

The cruel thing about football is that in an era, only a handful of players write and create history.

Just like people remember Maradona, but who can tell the names, positions, characteristics, and contributions of the teammates around Maradona?

They are also world champions.

Beckenbauer, Cruyff, nothing more.

A star who can stand at the top of an era is terrifying, and Shen Hao knows this very well.

He inevitably needs more thinking and research.

Try every means to... destroy the gods!

Since it was announced early that the direct opponent is Manchester United.

It would be impossible for him to just take things one step at a time.

...

In the second half of the game, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Shen Hao just gave a gesture to the team before the game started.

Leeds then looked solid in the second half.

The offense is gradual and can be released and retracted freely.

Modric will stabilize the game when the pace is too fast.

Shen Hao also made substitutions step by step to ensure the vitality of the team.

Wenger looked worried until he made a substitution in the 70th minute and made a strong attack.

Leeds United's counterattack failed to score, but earned Sagna a red card.

Deisler's inward breakthrough was about to enter the penalty area, but Sagna stretched his leg from behind and tripped him to the ground.

No penalties.

But there is a numerical advantage.

Arsenal died down.

The fans closed their eyes in despair.

Finished!

They had a 4-point advantage at the top of the Premier League nearly two months ago.

Today, not only are all the advantages lost, but they are also 5 points behind the leader, Leeds United!
