Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 111 It’s a tough nut to crack, and I almost vomited blood!

The situation was temporarily stabilized through communication with many players on the team.

The last day of 2005.

The Premier League's devilish schedule continues.

Leeds United host Blackburn Rovers.

Blackburn is a typical English team.

He is nicknamed "The Violent Ben" among Chinese fans.

Leeds United's main force returns.

The Elland Road stadium was filled with smoke.

Leeds United fans were in high spirits and thought that with the main players of the team out, they should be able to perform even more powerfully and excitingly.

But Blackburn, who played a simple and rough style, poured cold water on them.

David Bentley, who came out of Arsenal's youth training, was once considered the second Beckham on the right side of the frontcourt. Even though it is disappointing at the current level, he still has strength.

Candela took a rest today, and Baynes failed to suppress Bentley.

When Bentley sent a well-placed arcing cross from the right side of the frontcourt, the entire audience couldn't help but marvel.

"This cross is unparalleled!"

"Can David Bentley really become the second David Beckham?"

"He definitely has the potential."

More accurate placement, faster speed, and the offensive effect brought by high-quality crosses allow Blackburn forward Kutcher to move his head and attack the goal with just one step.

Toldo reacted quickly and flew to save the ball. Although he blocked the ball, he was unable to hold it.

The rebounded football was kicked back as soon as it landed in front of the penalty area line!

Everyone saw Petersen from Blackburn's left cutting in to the middle, just in time to run in both directions with the falling football.

His follow-up shot blasted the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

Tricky angle.

Toldo was helpless.

Leeds United 0:1 Blackburn.

Shen Hao showed a rare ugly expression.

The average strength of the Blackburn team is around 155.

But judging from the team's performance, they are in good shape today.

However, Leeds United's team's status fluctuated due to rotation back and forth.

Leeds United quickly launched an offensive after losing the ball.

But Blackburn's defense is tenacious, the confrontation is fierce, and the style of play is also simple. The fast break is never sloppy.

Simplify.

Shen Hao couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Blackburn coach Mark Hughes.

This former Red Devils player was well-known as a player, and after taking up the coach, he was also considered the coach of the "Manchester United".

Like Ferguson's former disciples, they will inevitably have to deal with Ferguson after retiring and becoming the head coach.

For example, if necessary, rent some young players from Manchester United, or take over players that Manchester United has purged at a cheap price.

Players who are world-famous are certainly not in this category.

But some unknown players can still help coaches like Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce who coach small and medium-sized teams.

Whether Mark Hughes can create complex and changeable techniques and tactics, Shen Hao cannot draw a conclusion.

But at least with Blackburn's team, his coaching policy seems to be just right.

The opposite example is Newcastle United's Souness, who is both high-profile and powerful, but also somewhat unrealistic in terms of technical and tactical play.

Before the start of the season, Shen Hao said that Leeds United's goal is to achieve a higher ranking than matches its strength.

This is actually another way of saying the value of coaching.

There can only be one championship, but other teams must also survive. With a positive attitude, the team's record will definitely be better than expected.

This expectation itself is the team's hard power ranking.

If this expectation is exceeded, in addition to the team's own performance, it is also inseparable from the credit of the head coach.

West Ham United's Alan Pardew and Blackburn Rovers' Mark Hughes, just looking at the team's current ranking, both fall into this category.

Of course the same goes for Shen Hao. After all, Leeds United's lineup is not the best in the Premier League, but they have led the Premier League for a long time.

Mark Hughes left a deep impression on Shen Hao.

The game gets tough.

Leeds United's offensive organization was smooth, but when it came to the front line, it was repeatedly surrounded by zone defense.

Rivaldo needs time to improve his condition, and his condition is somewhat unstable in consecutive battles with Franck Ribery. His previous high-frequency sprints have obviously slowed down his speed.

Leeds United's defense was bombarded by Peterson and Bentley's crosses from the wing.

Fortunately, only Kuchi is still in good condition on the front line, while the other forward Paul Dickov is obviously out of touch with the rhythm of the game.

Seeing that the first half of the game was coming to an end, Leeds United still had not equalized the score.

Even the shots are pitiful.

This naturally makes fans anxious.

Lopez was brought down to the ground while receiving the ball in front of the penalty area.

The referee blows the whistle for a foul.

Rivaldo took the direct free kick.

Under the spotlight, Rivaldo shot a full-moon scimitar with his left foot. The football passed over the wall and quickly arced down and flew into the upper right corner of the goal!

"Rivaldo! Score the goal directly from the free kick!"

"At the critical moment, it must be Mr. Golden Ball. This direct free kick is unparalleled!"

"It would be great if I can equalize the score. Violence deserves its reputation. It is simple and crude. It has a way of fighting tough battles!"

Mark Hughes looked disappointed.

In the positional battle, it seemed that Leeds United had no good way to deal with them.

He knows this is related to the overall state of Leeds United.

After all, there are too many veterans.

During continuous operations in winter, the probability of status fluctuations will be greater.

Halftime is over.

Shen Hao returned to the locker room and made adjustments intensively.

Returning to the field in the second half, the fans were surprised to find that Leeds United made the first substitution.

Guardiola was replaced by Jamie Redknapp.

Guardiola, who was substituted, did not have any negative emotions.

He sat on the bench and watched the game carefully.

He also wanted to know whether Shen Hao's adjustments would work.

Having lived to this age, he knows very well that there are so many veterans in Leeds United, and no matter how close their overall strength is, their characteristics are completely different.

His strength is organization, while like Jamie Redknapp is coverage, which is similar to b2b.

At this point, it is meaningless to argue about who is stronger and who is weaker.

The key is how much influence one's own performance has on the trend of the game in different game situations.

Leeds United changed their style of play.

The forwards were restrained and the midfielders fired.

Davis and Jamie Redknapp took turns looking for shooting opportunities as they moved forward under the cover of Franck Ribery and Rivaldo.

Leeds United set up a cannon in the midfield and started blasting wildly.

Blackburn over there created dangerous situations in the frontcourt attack.

Watching Dickov receive Peterson's pass on the right side of the penalty area, he took one more step to adjust. When he swung his leg to shoot, DeBoer took the lead and sent the ball over the baseline.

Mark Hughes kept shaking his head.

"Why didn't you cum earlier!"

He had already made up his mind to replace him.

Dickov's crotch-stretching performance today was unbearable for him.

Bentley takes a corner kick.

The football flying towards the back of the penalty area in a wide arc does not look like much of a threat.

But Reed, who was ambushing at the back point, rushed to the top and headed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

Mark Hughes didn't react immediately and even missed the goal because he looked back at the bench.

But when he saw Blackburn players rushing to celebrate, he didn't bother to figure out how the ball was scored.

After regaining consciousness, he clapped his hands and raised his arms with fists.

Shen Hao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became a little gloomy.

There was something incredible about Blackburn's overall energy.

Recently, no media has been discussing the disadvantages of Leeds United's too-large age structure.

But this is a hidden danger after all.

Time makes people grow old. Compared with younger teams, Leeds United would have been far behind in terms of endurance without the blessing of system buffs.

After the surprise, Mark Hughes continued to make substitutions.

Bellamy comes on to replace Dickov.

Blackburn Rovers formation 4231.

The timing of substitutions and formation changes are very beneficial to Blackburn.

In other words, so far, Shen Hao has not seen Mark Hughes make wrong on-the-spot adjustments.

Leeds United were unable to find any openings in their opponents to create a breakthrough.

You can only rely on your own abilities to destroy your opponent's defense.

Leeds United, who fell behind again, continued to launch a strong attack.

The runs of Jamie Redknapp and Davies stole the spotlight.

The two midfielders burned their energy.

Even if there is no amazing ball-handling performance.

But the relentless running was equally unforgettable.

The quality of Blackburn's counterattacks has become even higher.

Leeds United's strong attack will naturally make the opponent's counterattack environment better and better.

At the same time, Peterson was in the middle, with Bentley and Bellamy flying on the wings.

Kuchi single arrow.

Their attack group performs its duties in an ideal offensive environment, and the play style is simple but runs very smoothly.

And from the perspective of characteristics, Bentley has crosses and Bellamy has breakthroughs. They complement each other and can enrich offensive methods and create greater threats.

Leeds United's defense is rich in experience. At this time, it is natural to take the initiative to use fouls to prevent the opponent's offensive threat from getting out of hand.

The foul was a tactical foul, and the action was not out of line.

Mark Hughes was annoyed that his opportunity was snuffed out.

But it’s not easy to have an attack.

After all, Kelly and Simeone took the initiative to take cards and did not send their players off the field.

What can you accuse Leeds United of?

Don't let them foul?

Blackburn's players also commit fouls. The fouls against Franck Ribery and Rivaldo have been committed since the beginning of the game. However, the actions are not out of line, and they are not enough for tactical fouls, so they do not receive many cards.

The cheering momentum at Elland Road Stadium did not decrease but increased.

The undefeated team in white for half a season has allowed the fans to regain their confidence, and it can even be said that they have regained the dignity they once lost in the disaster.

Even if Leeds United's unbeaten streak will be broken at home today.

Leeds United fans will also hold their heads high and cheer for the team unswervingly!

Because this team has given them an excess of pride.

As the game approached the 75th minute, Leeds United, who were almost outnumbered, formed a short-term continuous bombardment in the frontcourt.

Rivaldo took the lead and his shot from outside the penalty area was blocked. Jamie Redknapp then hit the wall with Franck Ribery and hit a long shot.

Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel made a save to block the ball, and the defender hurriedly made a clearance.

The ball returned to Leeds United again. Rivaldo took over and dribbled towards the center. When he was surrounded and suppressed, he sent the ball through the gap.

Davis stepped in and shot furiously in front of the penalty area line.

Football is like a white rainbow hanging straight to the dead end!

"It's coming! It's finally here! Davis unfurls his bow and shoots down the stars!"

"If you don't die in white clothes, you will definitely be killed!"

"Blackburn is a tough nut to crack."

Shen Hao couldn't help but clenched his fist and punched it twice in the air.

Mark Hughes held his breath in his heart and almost didn't recover.

He is not reconciled.

"Obviously our overall condition is better and our physical fitness is better. How could Leeds United be on par with us if they weren't experienced and experienced?"

There are no underdogs in the Premier League.

Cruel schedules often produce shocking results.

Blackburn definitely has the ability to kill giants.

It's just that this kind of strength cannot be maintained for a long time.

Therefore, they can create an upset, but they cannot become a member of the championship team.

After equalizing the score again, Shen Hao was still not optimistic.

The less game time is left, the weaker Leeds United become.

This is determined by the age structure of their team.

As long as half of the veterans can be removed, half of the players can be replaced with players with an ability of over 160 in their playing years.

The effects will be completely different, and the combat power will also reach a higher level.

But the problem is that such a player can easily cost tens of millions of pounds to start.

Leeds United cannot afford to replace him.

If you cultivate it yourself, the growth process will inevitably come at a cost in terms of performance.

How can Leeds United compete for the title?

Between the future and the present, Shen Hao chose the latter.

Therefore, he is fully aware of the current situation of the game.

But he is not reconciled.

If they retreat at this time, Leeds United will have a high probability of getting a draw.

The road to the championship is bumpy.

Take risks when necessary.

Shen Hao gestured to the team.

Go on the offensive!

Not just for the gain or loss of a game.

It is also a reflection of their indomitable spirit.

Five minutes later, he used up his second substitution.

Mendieta came on to replace Rivaldo.

Leeds United's attack was fierce and Blackburn resisted tenaciously. The scene was thrilling and full of dangers.

Just after the 85th minute of the game, Leeds United's backcourt defense, which had almost surrendered all foul tolerance, was penetrated.

Peterson delivered a wonderful pass in the middle of the frontcourt during the counterattack.

Bellamy moved in and cut in to receive the ball, and when he touched the ball, he changed direction and passed Redondo.

Redondo was too slow to stretch his legs to intercept, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He is indeed old.

In other words, he is already old.

I will be 100 in almost 36 days.

Bellamy drove straight into the penalty area and faced the attacking Toldo. He calmly fired the ball into the far corner of the goal!

Blackburn fans couldn't be more excited.

Pumping his fists excitedly.

"Behead the leader today!"

"No matter how strong Leeds United is, it doesn't matter. You still have to kneel down when you see us!"

"We will break the Elland Road stadium that Chelsea and Arsenal cannot conquer!"

Mark Hughes jumped up excitedly, turned around twice and then made a decisive change.

The last two substitutions were used to replace Peterson and David Bentley.

Strengthen your defense!

Shen Hao wiped his face and used up the last substitution spot.

Batistuta comes on to replace Kelly.

Kelly ran out quickly and then realized that the captain's armband had not been handed over. He quickly asked Davis to come over and pass the captain's armband to Simeone on the court.

Blackburn began to hold on.

The fans shouted excitedly.

Leeds United, who have been unbeaten for half a season, are getting closer and closer to breaking their golden status.

Shen Hao stared at the field with firm eyes.

From time to time, he made gestures, allowing the team to gradually form a complete pressure.

The game had just entered injury time.

Blackburn's long pass from the back almost resulted in another solo shot from Bellamy.

Seeing that no one can pursue him.

However, Bellamy saw Toldo rushing out from outside the penalty area and cleared the ball first.

Leeds United fans were still frightened, but then continued to cheer and the momentum was overwhelming.

In the last minute of injury time, Ribery's inward shot was blocked by the defender.

Mendieta ran for the corner kick.

Leeds United's entire army entered the Blackburn penalty area, and Toldo was no exception!

This might be their final blow.

When Mendieta's corner kick was cleared by Blackburn defender Lucas Neal with a header in the middle of the penalty area, Mark Hughes raised his hands and urged the referee to blow the final whistle quickly.

However, the ball that was released was controlled by Simeone. Simeone quickly passed the ball across the wing. Baines received the ball from the wing and then passed the ball short to the baseline.

Mendieta immediately turned back during the retracement.

Blackburn's overall formation took a few steps outward and then turned around and retreated.

At this time, no one could interfere with Mendieta, who made another pass.

The defense in the middle of the penalty area is a bit chaotic.

Who is watching whom?

Who's ambush again?

God knows!

Friedel saw a tall figure take off after the football flew in and came into view.

Redondo!

He pushed the football toward the upper left corner of the goal.

Friedel gritted his teeth and made the save, but was beyond his reach.

The aura of Elland Road suddenly shook!

"Redondo! Headed home! Leeds United fell behind three times and equalized three times!"

"Although it is not a decisive victory, it is still inspiring. Bai Yi's undefeated golden body will continue!"

"Mark Hughes was furious. He was yelling at the referee. The faces of Blackburn players were full of loss and confusion. They almost broke through the Elland Road stadium!"

Shen Hao gritted his teeth and punched.

It would be a good thing to get it back.

He won't just dwell on the disappointment of not being able to beat his opponent.

Especially in a game where the opponent played better than Leeds United.

The final whistle finally sounded.

The score is fixed.

Leeds United 3:3 Blackburn!

Mark Hughes almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He kept chattering with a gloomy face.

The resentment against the referee team seems to be the revenge of killing his father.

Shen Hao shook hands with the opponent after the game, and then walked into the player tunnel with a heavy heart.
