Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

FIFA match day is coming in September.

As always, Leeds United players can train on their own after a few days off.

Chen Hao and Chris Jones went to check out the halftime show cheerleading team's performance.

Shen Hao had a half-day of leisure, sleeping in the hotel and exercising. Bai Muxin would hang out in Leeds after school, listen to concerts, see art exhibitions, and visit some churches and museums to relax and cultivate their sentiments.

When the holiday was over and Leeds United's training began, your uncle Tiantuan's chat during the training break caught Shen Hao's attention.

"He would call me every night. My wife suspected that I was cheating. I showed her the call records, and she suspected that I was coming out...it was so annoying."

Toldo's complaint made everyone dumbfounded.

Vieri wanted to understand the real situation of Leeds United, ranging from the club's overall operations and personnel structure to the changes and experiences of each player.

How could Toldo know so much?

When he arrived, Redondo was no longer a useless person, Guardiola was highly respected in the team, and Batistuta was even more energetic...

So Vieri asked Toldo to find out the details.

Toldo did feel like he was being harassed.

So I simply asked Shen Hao to pierce the window paper.

"Christian Vieri? He... ugh."

Shen Hao also felt dumbfounded when he learned that Vieri was inquiring about Leeds United.

In the summer, Vieri's contract with Inter Milan was terminated suddenly. Before anyone could react, he quickly signed with AC Milan.

As long as he waits a few more days, Shen Hao will definitely not remain indifferent.

After going round and round, he had an unsatisfactory life in AC Milan and is now looking for a new place to go.

Shen Hao will definitely accept everyone who comes.

As long as they are strong enough, Leeds United still has room to accommodate.

Shen Hao asked Toldo to give Vieri an accurate reply.

"Come when you want, don't be coy."

Toldo was so troubled that he naturally wanted to cut the trouble quickly.

At this time, Shen Hao realized that Leeds United was already famous.

The nursing home has become what Leeds United is now, which can be considered a small success.

FIFA match day is over.

It's almost winter.

In the bleak cold wind, Leeds United ushered in a blockbuster contest at home.

At the pre-match press conference, Shen Hao seemed confident.

"I appreciate Arsenal's unique style of play in the Premier League, but that's not a reason for us to be afraid of them."

"The threat Henry brings to any team, we will definitely focus on him, but at the same time, it may also cause us to ignore the existence of other threats, because other Arsenal players are also very good."

Shen Hao complimented Arsenal before the game, which was a sign of respect for his opponent.

The opponent was once the Premier League champion, and has been firmly in the Big 4 since Wenger took charge.

The strength is obvious to all.

Wenger also paid tribute to Leeds United before the game.

"For a newly promoted team to win 11 consecutive games is both incredible and admirable. People always say that Leeds United relies on its veterans to achieve impeccable results, but what I think about is why other teams Why didn't the team bring in those veterans before Leeds United did?"

“As the team with the fewest goals conceded and the best defense in the Premier League this season, Leeds United’s teamwork performance is almost perfect. It is not easy for us to take away 3 points from Elland Road, but we must win with the intention of winning. Determined to face tomorrow’s game.”

The two head coaches cannot be said to be sympathetic to each other in public, but at least they recognize each other.

Shen Hao is not a biting mad dog, and Wenger rarely makes trouble without reason.

He would be disgusted by a wild growth like Chelsea's that breaks or changes the rules.

But Leeds United is more like a model of "waste utilization" and has not changed the transfer ecology of football.

What's wrong with Leeds United turning waste into treasure if others don't care about him?

Neither did I dig out the pillars of other people's homes, nor did I smash the bills into other people's faces one by one until they had to bend down to pick them up.

Shen Hao also doesn't like the behavior of driving up prices.

you get what you pay for.

But if they blindly rob and raise prices, this will naturally put huge pressure on club operators.

Leeds United's way of survival so far is not barbaric, but gentle.

See you on the field for the rest.

The winner is king.

It is justified.

Game day arrives.

The headline in Fleet Street's preview of the game was "The Whites face the test of the Gunners!"

Among Leeds United's 11-game winning streak, perhaps only the opening game against Chelsea is a "championship test" contest.

Other games are basically just about winning points.

Every season there are always some teams that perform strongly and win consecutive games.

The final ranking looks good, but not worthy of praise.

The cruelty of competitive sports is to win all the championships!

Trophies, honors, fame, praise and worship from all over the world.

Comparative competition is more intuitive.

When someone praises the runner-up, countless people will jump out and tell the greatness of the champion in an irrefutable tone.

In the century-old football world, the only runner-up that can go down in history is the Netherlands. Their gorgeousness and fantasy of total offense and total defense conquered the world and led a new technical and tactical revolution.

Germany, which defeated them in the World Cup, only received honors at home, while the Netherlands won recognition and admiration from around the world.

That was an era led by the dreamy and peerless duo.

Naturally, the young Shen Hao would not dream of leaving a mark in history with his gorgeous technical and tactical style.

That's harder than reaching the sky.

The goal is not only high, but also elusive.

The most practical thing is to hold the championship trophy in your hands.

Shen Hao, who put on a slim-fitting coat, won cheers from the fans as soon as he entered the Elland Road stadium.

When Wenger entered the field, Shen Hao took the initiative to shake hands before the game.

"I've been looking forward to the game against Arsenal."

Wenger smiled.

"I also want to experience the true strength of Leeds United."

The two looked at each other, smiled, shook hands and separated.

Arriving at the coach's command area, Shen Hao's expression naturally became serious.

Kick out a big4 and replace it.

The progress towards the pre-season goal is pretty good.

Arsenal and Liverpool are under huge pressure at the moment.

But whether you can compete for the championship is not determined by how many rookies you torture.

It is determined by the performance in the strong dialogue.

On the surface, this is a 6-point battle.

Inside this is a test of strength.

He does not simply jump to conclusions based on results.

What's more important is the scene, the process, and the strength shown by his own team against the top teams in the Premier League.

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

Leeds United fans and Arsenal fans cheered to dispel the chill on the eve of winter.

"Good evening everyone in white. I'm Xiaopang. I believe everyone is eagerly looking forward to this peak showdown today!"

"I am glasses, good evening in white. A year and a half ago, Arsenal swept the Premier League without losing. Today, Leeds United return to the Premier League and are invincible. Even though Arsenal are now 13 points behind Leeds United, no one will I think this is a game in which Leeds definitely dominate."

"Yes, Brother Hao once said at the beginning of the season that Leeds United's goal this season is to get a higher ranking that matches the team's strength. I think the subtext is at least the top six in the Premier League.

Even though we are a newly promoted team, the overall strength of our team is at least among the top ten in the Premier League after comprehensive reinforcements in the summer. "

“Recently, whether it is the media or ourselves when posting and communicating in the official website forum, one word appears more frequently, fight for the championship!”

"Looking at the situation, we are indeed qualified to compete for the championship, and we currently have a lead, but we all know that the test against Leeds United has not really come yet. The temporary lead still cannot fully explain the problem. The most intuitive thing is three consecutive points in the Premier League. One of the schedules has not been completed yet!”

"If we shout about competing for the championship at this time, it will put pressure on the team and make us watch the game with possibly unrealistic expectations. There is no need to do so."

"Yes, we should support the team with a positive and optimistic attitude. I believe they will go all out to face every game, just like facing Arsenal today. Of course I hope Leeds United win, but I don't We will turn this expectation into a requirement, and look at Arsenal’s starting lineup, their strength cannot be underestimated.”

"Arsenal started 442.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Laurent, Kolo Toure, Sol Campbell, Xigan.

Midfielder: Ljungberg, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva, Pires.

Forwards: Robin van Persie, Henry.

Arsenal's Ashley Cole is out due to injury, which is definitely good news for us. "

"Leeds United started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Toldo.

Defenders: Kelly, Redondo, DeBoer, Candela.

Midfielder: Davis, Guardiola, Simeone.

Forwards: Rivaldo, Claudio Lopez, Ribery.

The war is about to begin. Now let us cheer for Baiyi together and show our strong style as the leader in the top competition! "

The pre-match kick-off ceremony ends.

Leeds United fans also ended up singing the team anthem with high melody.

The two teams set up their formations in their respective halves, ready to go.

After the referee blows his whistle, the battle begins and the smoke starts!

Arsenal, who took the lead in kicking off the ball, completed the movement from slow to fast in a short period of time. Cesc Fabregas, who impressed everyone with his skills last season, has become the main force this season and is more mature.

There has never been a high standard for the speed of midfield organizers. Their starting point is to assess the situation and strategize.

But constant running, observing, and using ball-handling skills to never miss opportunities are the minimum standards for an "excellent level."

Shen Hao carefully observed Fabregas' performance. This midfield genius with a potential of close to 180 has a solid foundation.

What’s interesting is that Fabregas came from La Masia’s youth academy, and today Leeds United’s midfield commander Guardiola came from the same school as him, but is at least two generations older.

Other Arsenal players were also moving. Fabregas' precise and quick pass found Pires on the left, who stopped and took a step before sending a cross pass.

Henry picked up the ball in the middle and accelerated when he touched the ball, directly getting rid of Davis' close defense.

The king of guns, who started like a catapult, also went to the left.

At the same time, Pires moved in and cut inside, superimposing cross changes in passing coordination.

Arsenal's attack on the left has been the strongest since Henry's arrival.

The tacit understanding between Henry and Pires, the French striker pair, can be described as a perfect understanding.

Even with his eyes closed, he knows how to move and coordinate.

In front of Kelly, Pires went to the middle, and in a blink of an eye, Henry was approaching.

Kelly couldn't stop Henry.

This was what Shen Hao had expected before the game.

If he can stop Henry, his potential will soar from 159 to over 175!

So Simeone moved in advance to help defend, leaving the defense in the middle to Guardiola, and the wild boar Davis who lost Henry.

Seeing that the line behind the center was blocked, Henry pretended to cut inside in front of Kelly. He was also good at speeding up and changing the ball with a flick of a button.

It’s never anything fancy, what’s important is flexible changes in speed and rhythm.

It often makes the opponent unable to guard against it during the sudden advance.

The key point was that there were too many defenders who couldn't keep up with Henry.

Naturally, Kelly will not have a fluctuating mentality, stay calm, turn around and retreat to squeeze the space.

However, Henry did not stick to the ball. When he came to the baseline, he immediately took off his foot and knocked the ball horizontally into the penalty area.

Pires charged inside, and Redondo retreated to block his way of passing to Van Persie.

Unexpectedly, Pires controlled the ball and stopped suddenly, then turned around and took a step toward the outside of the penalty area. Redondo had just approached, but Pires had already passed the ball to the back of the penalty area.

Van Persie had no chance of outflanking him in the middle.

Everyone looked back.

I saw Ljungberg running wildly from behind and hitting the ball to catch the ball and shoot in the air.

At the critical moment, Toldo reacted quickly and opened his arms to block the opponent's shooting angle. The football hit his thigh and bounced out.

"Huh, Toldo! Fortunately, there is Toldo, otherwise, it would really be a nightmare!"

Shen Hao was thoughtful.

Arsenal's offensive creativity is indeed second to none in the Premier League.

Such an opponent will give Leeds United a test.

The reason may be more that Leeds United are not adaptable.

Teams accustomed to simple play styles in the English Championship and Premier League suddenly encountered opponents with both individual explosive ability and team offensive creativity.

This will certainly be a test.

However, Shen Hao believes that the team just needs time to adapt.

Leeds United's fast break died on the left side of the frontcourt.

Lauren and Gilberto Silva's first-time joint defense stifled Ribery's inside threat.

Ribery is understandably eager to achieve success.

He certainly knows that this kind of competition is not only the best stage for him to gain more valuable experience, but also a trial for him to reach the top.

The pace of the game picked up, and both teams' offense and defense were speeding up.

Simeone destroyed Ljungberg's cutback from the wing, but in a fast-paced contest, his defense could not intercept the ball cleanly every time.

Especially if you can still control the ball after intercepting it, this phenomenon will generally show the ease of defense at a glance.

Extreme interceptions are often accompanied by highly uncertain clearances.

Guardiola tried to deliver an overhead through ball directly from the frontcourt.

Lopez's forward movement was already countered by offside, but Sol Campbell's header made a clearance while retreating, but Leeds United's simple and direct play did not work.

Arsenal fans scoffed.

"Want a long pass to penetrate our defense? Leeds United are so naive!"

"The status of a newly promoted team has deceived too many teams, allowing Leeds United to frequently steal victories."

"At present, Leeds United is not worthy of being the leader of the Premier League, and sooner or later they will have to hand over the leading position that does not belong to them!"

Leeds United's simple impact, from Ribery's personal breakthrough to Guardiola's direct delivery of threatening balls, did not make waves.

Arsenal entered the state very quickly today.

The pace remains steady.

In the 11th minute of the game, they launched an attack from the left again.

Henry came to the left in advance to respond, and Pires ran in front.

When Davis helped defend the wing, Henry passed the ball straight forward.

Pires slowed down to control the ball, and then passed the ball across the middle.

Henry cut inside to get rid of Davis, not far away, but enough for him to play.

On the route of cutting in, Simeone retreated to intercept.

But Henry suddenly moved the ball in front of the left side of the top of the penalty area and changed direction to cross.

Simeone stopped suddenly and turned back. Although Guardiola retreated to the right side of the top of the penalty area, he was wary of Henry's sudden speed breakthrough.

Henry still passed the ball in front of him.

Shen Hao frowned slightly and couldn't help but bite his back teeth.

Did the King of Guns regard the front edge of Leeds United's penalty area as his back garden?

After crossing the ball in front of Guardiola, Henry touched people's hearts and attracted the defense, but suddenly sent the ball straight into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Accompanying the football towards the right rib of the penalty area is Ljungberg!

When he entered the penalty area, his speed reached its peak!

Even though De Boer turned around immediately, he was visibly broken by Ljungberg from the outside and formed an offensive depth advantage.

The defense was broken down and the defenders collectively turned back to defend.

Ljungberg made a powerful cross the moment he touched the ball.

In a flash of lightning, when the football flew to the center of the goal, Van Persie was very decisive in outflanking him. He flew to tackle the ball and blocked the ball with his raised left foot to the lower left of the goal close to the ground.

No matter how quick Toldo's reaction was, he was still too slow to land and block.

With this kind of face-to-face output, the goalkeeper can basically only try his luck.

The moment the football flew into the goal, the Leeds United fans at Elland Road were stunned.

Arsenal fans are in high spirits.

Not only are we proud of the fast and passionate cooperation, but we also applaud the team's tacit understanding and unity.

"I heard that Leeds United can't be offended after the FIFA match?"

"Do you believe this nonsense about Fleet Street using Leeds United to sensationalize you?"

"The strongest newly promoted team? No matter how strong it is, it's still a newly promoted team!"
