Chapter 523 The new season begins, the battle between blue and white!
Enough is enough of the Community Shield victory celebrations.
After winning the cup, Shen Hao was invited to a lounge at the new Wembley Stadium by a special staff member.
FA chairman Triesman resigned in late May this year after emails with his lover were exposed.
After the scandal, Bourdain became the new chairman of the Football Association. His main job is to preside over England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.
Shen Hao met Bourdain and the two important officials of the Football Association who were traveling with him in this lounge.
Borden smiled warmly and extended his hand to congratulate Shen Hao.
"Leeds United won another championship today. Congratulations, you are a winning general in football in this era."
Shen Hao nodded and shook hands with the other party, and then shook hands with two other FA officials with false smiles.
They have actually dealt with each other before.
Apply for a labor certificate for Casemiro.
Shen Hao didn't prepare any materials.
After the team returned from the China trip, he went to London to attend the hearing and said in a formal manner that Casemiro was a genius and missing him would be a huge loss for the entire Premier League.
Thiago Silva, who was last said this by Shen Hao, at least served as the main force last season to help Leeds United win the Triple Crown.
It can be regarded as fulfilling Shen Hao's original bold words.
And looking at Anderson, who applied for a labor certificate at the same time, he is not even the absolute main force at Manchester United, and he makes judgments based on superiority.
Shen Hao is here again.
The Football Association was very generous and quickly approved Casemiro's labor certificate application.
When McLaren failed to lead the Three Lions to the European Cup, Triesmann sent someone to inquire about Shen Hao's tone.
Are you willing to give up your identity as Leeds United manager and coach the Three Lions?
Shen Hao naturally refused this condition at the time.
But a year later, the Netherlands allowed Shen Hao to concurrently serve as the national team coach.
And then...the Netherlands became the new World Cup champions.
After the World Cup in South Africa, many national team coaches were dismissed.
Capello did not dismiss get out of class due to the "civil strife" of the Football Association.
The results of the bid for the 2018 World Cup will be announced at the end of the year.
The Football Association of England coincides with the change of chairman again. At this point in time, even if fans across England are not optimistic about Capello, Burden must first filter out the rules and regulations of the World Cup bid.
After he basically understood these tasks, he started thinking about the Three Lions coaching position.
That's why today's meeting with Shen Hao at the new Wembley Stadium came about.
Four people sit down, one-on-three.
Burden smiled and said: "On behalf of the Football Association, I formally invite you, hoping that you can concurrently serve as the coach of the Three Lions. We believe that the Three Lions will have a bright future in your hands and obtain results that match the strength of the team. .”
Shen Hao was not surprised. He sighed: "To be honest, the Netherlands offered me a contract extension, and Japan, the United States, and Portugal also offered me job offers as national team head coaches, but I chose to reject them all. .
I have not done any research, analysis or comparison of the situations of different national teams. It is simply that I do not want to hold concurrent positions in the national team for the time being.
I need to have more spare time. "
Bourdain and the two FA executives looked at each other.
They didn't expect that Shen Hao would be so popular after the World Cup.
After a second thought, I was relieved.
Didn't they also lower their status and allow Shen Hao to concurrently serve as the coach of the Three Lions?
Borden asked: "Are you really not going to think about it?"
Shen Hao shook his head and said: "Don't think about it. Let's talk about it if we have the chance in the future. The future is long."
Borden nodded, but his attitude did not change because of Shen Hao's refusal.
It is a matter of mutual consent, and Shen Hao is not biased against the Three Lions.
He didn't even want to renew his contract with the Netherlands. The invitations from Japan and the United States may not be worth mentioning, but Portugal's invitation was also rejected.
This made Borden feel nothing at all.
As long as Shen Hao doesn't suddenly announce which country he will serve as the national team coach in the short term.
Then Shen Hao was also honest with them.
Harmony is the most precious thing.
The future is long, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in two years?
Even though England suffered a goal-line tragedy in the World Cup, it can be seen from the performance in the group stage alone that the Three Lions coached by Capello...are three cats.
How will England perform in the European Cup two years later?
Even the FA is not optimistic about it.
...
Leeds United won the Community Shield, and the pre-season warm-up has officially come to an end.
After two days off, the team entered into the regular training rhythm of the season.
Shen Hao also completed the work plan for the season, filtered his thoughts and implemented it conscientiously.
The new season is in addition to the formation, maturity and improvement of the technical and tactical system.
Then there is the accelerated improvement of players' personal abilities.
On August 8, the new Premier League season kicked off.
Leeds United faced the newly promoted Blackpool at the White Temple of the new stadium.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, Leeds United put on its full lineup at home.
New season, new atmosphere.
First, you need to build momentum.
Blackpool were naturally cautious as a guest, welcoming the hellish intensity of military training from the European overlords.
The newly promoted team endured 90 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment by Leeds United.
In the end, he swallowed 7 goals and went home.
Even their fans seemed to be experiencing a terrifying nightmare.
"Is this the intensity of the Premier League? Can we go back to the Championship?"
"White clothes are a bunch of devils!"
"Look at Manchester United and Arsenal. The biggest defeat in team history was caused by Leeds United."
"You're not doing anyone's business!"
...
After a good start to the league, Leeds United faced Chelsea at home in the second round.
Uh... the battle for the top spot.
Leeds United slaughtered Blackpool 7-0 in the first round.
Chelsea swept West Brom 6:0.
Although there are many teams with 3 points, the two teams are far ahead in terms of goal difference.
The season has just begun, and there is no need for Shen Hao and Ancelotti to speak harshly or interfere with their opponents at the level of public opinion.
Strictly speaking, Shen Hao did not interfere with his competitors.
If other teams take the initiative to provoke him... it will most likely hurt the rebound.
8 month 21 day.
White Temple.
Carlo Ancelotti feels fresh stepping into Leeds United's new stadium.
After seeing Shen Hao, he took the initiative to say hello and the two shook hands.
Ancelotti congratulated Shen Hao on becoming a World Cup winning coach.
After thanking him, Shen Hao expressed his expectation for Chelsea's performance this season.
Ancelotti accepted it calmly.
Even though he is older than Shen Hao, he is a senior.
But in terms of achievements, Shen Hao has surpassed contemporary coaches.
This is an indisputable fact, and whether one personally admits it or not does not affect the fact.
The starting players of both teams made their debut.
Leeds United started 433.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Hummels, Baines.
Midfielder: Kante, Kaka, Modric.
Forwards: Deisler, Suarez, Gareth Bale.
Chelsea starts
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Essien, Lampard, Mikel.
Forwards: Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.
Chelsea's signings this summer are still small and small.
Ramirez, Benayoun, Kalas, and Drake together cost 3800 million euros.
Sell Carvalho, Storchi and Di Santo and recover 1600 million euros.
Net investment is 2200 million euros.
In addition, Ballack and Joe Cole left the team for free.
Their agents have all contacted Leeds with recommendations.
But Leeds don't need that.
Among the signings, Ramirez is considered good.
But the problem is that he can't be in Chelsea's main lineup, so I see that Chelsea's starting lineup has not changed from last season.
The referee blows the whistle to start the game.
Leeds United quickly launched a pressing attack.
The momentum is amazing.
Chelsea's specialty is defensive counterattack, and of course they will not underestimate the enemy.
Being able to massacre West Brom in the opening game means that Chelsea entered the state quickly and had sufficient pre-season preparations.
Facing Leeds United's strong attack, Chelsea's defense was really under pressure in the opening game.
Daisler received Suarez's pass in the penalty area, and his shot was saved by Cech.
Alex then cleared the ball.
Although Drogba headed the ball from behind the center line, Baines intercepted the ball before Anelka could control it.
Leeds United's continuous offensive launched quickly.
Gareth Bale dropped back to receive the ball and quickly passed the ball to the center.
Modric stepped forward to receive the ball and hit the ball with Kaka. He continued to move forward to get rid of Essien.
He stopped the ball in front of the penalty area, flicked the ball in a different direction, and then sent a through ball to the ground.
Suarez countered offside and inserted diagonally into the left rib area of the penalty area. He half-turned and shot directly.
But after the shooting action was completed, he was surprised to find that Cech blocked the ball from close range.
Obviously Chelsea also made careful preparations for Leeds United's style of play.
Cech struck sharply to resolve the danger.
But as soon as the flying football was controlled by Lampard, Kanter quickly stretched out a kick from behind him and poked the ball away. Kaká took control of the ball again.
Leeds United continue to attack!
Deisler connected inside the wing and then kicked off the ball and passed the ball.
The football flew towards the left rib area of the penalty area.
Suarez did not hit the target, but ran towards the middle of the goal.
Gareth Bale rushed in and Alex was unable to interfere.
Gareth Bale took off and flicked the ball.
There is no problem with the idea, look for Suarez in front of the goal.
But the header quality was not good in the past.
Cech took off and picked the ball in the air.
Leeds United's continuous strong attacks gave Chelsea fans a frightening moment.
Even though they know well that the overall strength of the team has almost remained unchanged in the summer.
But you should always look forward to it.
The new season has just begun, if even hope is gone.
How will we spend the next year?
Ancelotti's face dropped.
Leeds United's new season begins earlier than ever.
Perhaps it is also directly related to Fleet Street's huge coverage of the Rose Cup opening of the White Temple, coupled with the complete victory over Manchester United in the Community Shield.
Chelsea are getting into form quickly, but Ancelotti is still unsure if they fight to the limit.
Immerse yourself in the situation and face the overlord.
Only Ancelotti can truly discover the technical and tactical changes in Leeds United in the new season.
After thinking for a moment, Ancelotti suddenly realized that although Leeds United's style of play was strong.
But Chelsea's defensive counterattack happens to be the best response to Leeds United's tactics from an overall perspective.
In other words, Leeds United will give Chelsea ideal space to attack.
As for whether they can produce the ideal offensive quality and threat, this will test Chelsea's own hard power.
In the 9th minute of the game, when Leeds United's offensive swept across the frontcourt again, Gareth Bale dribbled inside to form a containment and then passed the ball back to find Modric, who sent an overhead pass.
The football flew to the area in front of the baseline on the left wing.
Baynes quickly went down to stop the ball and directly delivered the cross.
Alex retreated first and jumped to make a clearance when the football came.
After the clearance, he fell heavily to the ground, but quickly got up and was obviously fine.
The football flying outside the penalty area was stopped by Lampard.
Kanter pressed close from behind again, but this time Lampard was clearly prepared.
After protecting the ball and blocking Kanter, he quickly passed the ball across to find Mikel.
Leeds United's focus on counterattack and blockade obviously stifled Chelsea's space to attack from the right.
Because Baynes assisted.
But Chelsea didn't play there.
Mikel waded forward with the ball, Kaká, Deisler and Modric were all heading towards him.
If he takes another step toward the ball, he will be approached by Leeds United players.
In this case, Mikel passed the ball decisively.
The football just rolled to the midfield area.
Drogba took the initiative and protected the ball on the spot.
Hummels took the initiative to press, but when he couldn't find the space to move or the opportunity to steal the ball, he simply started to pull.
Pulled...Drogba didn't move.
When he tried to pull harder, Drogba suddenly took the initiative to fight and knocked him away. Then he spiked the ball and changed his direction, and then sent the ball to the left side of the front court.
Thiago Silva is obviously close to Anelka.
This allowed Malouda to receive a pass from Drogba after the start and face Kyle Walker one-on-one.
Kyle Walker stepped forward and planned to foul.
Obviously, Leeds United's defense is about to collapse.
Letting defensive players face the opponent's forward one-on-one is definitely extremely passive.
Shen Hao saw in his mind that the defense line was close to exploding, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: retreat, retreat, retreat...
However, Kyle Walker was about to foul at the first moment, but Malouda moved the ball to the center to distance him. Malouda spiked the ball forward and completely escaped Kyle Walker's defensive range.
Finish!
Shen Hao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But it didn't show.
He still lacks defensive experience and lacks enough calmness in the face of dangerous situations.
Chelsea fans are excited.
The scene is too simple.
Malouda and Anelka two against one!
Thiago Silva kept retreating. When he retreated to the penalty area line, he could only move to intercept Malouda head-on. The latter sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
When Anelka received the ball outside the penalty area, Neuer ran wildly to attack.
After stopping the ball, Anelka calmly spiked the ball and moved forward to the right. He accelerated the ball one step and then staggered Neuer who hit the front. Then he immediately pushed the ball towards the near corner of the goal.
Neuer's save came too late.
The football rolled into the goal against the inside of the right goalpost!
Chelsea fans burst into loud cheers.
The Chelsea generals also rushed towards Anelka who scored the goal with great excitement!
If you can overthrow Leeds United in the White Temple.
Regardless of whether this is just the beginning of the new season, they will have the absolute confidence to end the White Dynasty!
