Chapter 522 The Red Devil is a good opponent, you are the one in my dreams!
New Wembley Stadium.
Suarez's goal gave Leeds United a dream start.
Unlike in the past, most fantasy starts came from a blitz to grab the opening, or a fire in the backyard caused by a flaw in the team's defense that lost the ball.
The strength of Leeds United today is clear at a glance.
That violent offensive momentum is coming!
The scene in front of the generals of the red devils in white clothes fighting against the red devils is not only full of oppression, but also like an oncoming tsunami that cannot be avoided!
Shen Hao applauded Suarez's goal, and the smile on his lips was somewhat cruel.
I hope Manchester United will be strong in my heart.
But on the surface he won't show it.
On the contrary, he will not hide his arrogance towards Manchester United!
In this way, maybe Manchester United will realize their shame and then act bravely.
The Community Shield was originally a semi-warm-up match.
But because of the derby relationship between the two teams, and Ferguson's heart, he couldn't breathe.
He was the one who once dominated the Premier League!
Since Leeds United returned to the Premier League, they can only swallow their anger when they see Leeds United, and there has even been a super disastrous defeat in team history!
How could he swallow this breath?
Who would still regard him as the overlord of the past?
The cruelty of competitive sports is that the present will bury the past!
No matter how glorious it was in the past, if it doesn't work anymore, what will happen is that the wall will fall and everyone will push it, and the drums will be broken and the people will beat you!
How many people have been unhappy with you before?
There were so many people rushing to do the crazy stampede today.
Ferguson sullenly roared at the team.
When Shen Hao saw this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Jazz is probably still living in the past.
Team fighting spirit is important.
But if you think that fighting spirit and aggression can play a decisive role in the peak showdown.
This is somewhat out of touch with the times.
It's not that Ferguson didn't realize that Leeds United's changes in technical and tactical levels every year will actually make the midfielder with Modric as the core more comprehensive, which will lead to the continuous acceleration of subsequent changes.
This is the main reason why Leeds United can widen the gap between its opponents in terms of its core competitiveness.
Strong player strength is the foundation, and rich experience and unfathomable technical and tactical qualities are the catalysts for qualitative change!
But Ferguson was stubbornly unwilling to bow.
Shen Hao didn't mind.
Manchester United's defense was frightened by Leeds United's frequent attacks.
When Leeds United launched a strong attack from the front, Manchester United's defensive actions began to go a little too far.
However, Leeds United's mentality was not affected.
The rhythm will be interrupted and disturbed, but it doesn't matter. Modric, who has already begun to show a master's style, is calm and able to control the rhythm a little.
Leeds were soon able to resume their threatening attack.
Rooney, who was playing as an attacking midfielder today, just returned to the penalty area to meet Carrick. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Manchester United to launch their counterattack.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Rooney received a pass from Evra in front of the penalty area.
Kaka, Modric and Suarez immediately launched a counter-attack and surrounded them.
Rooney accelerated the ball towards the wing, and as soon as there was space, he quickly passed the ball to Welbeck.
Welbeck, who started on the left wing, took over from the backcourt.
Just as he turned around after stopping the ball, Kanter came in front of him.
Welbeck was blocked inside.
So he accelerated the ball forward and tried to get rid of Kanter.
Kanter just followed the defense without making any moves.
Welbeck only took one step towards the ball, and in the next second, Kyle Walker intercepted the ball on the wing in front of the center line.
The tall and strong Kyle Walker took possession of the ball and passed the ball to Kanter calmly.
Welbeck, who rushed forward and counterattacked, immediately braked and turned around to chase.
Kanter sent a direct pass after stopping the ball.
The football went to Deisler.
Leeds United almost attacked the key area of Manchester United's defense within three seconds after stealing the ball!
Ferguson frowned.
Leeds United's offensive and defensive transition is so sharp!
Park Ji-sung, Evra, Vidic, and Rooney who turned around to support the defense, the four of them headed towards Deisler almost at the same time.
Deisler took possession of the ball and then sent a pass back to the ground.
Everyone's attention turned and Modric came to kill him!
An overhead kick sent through the ball.
The ball flew directly behind Vidic.
Suarez successfully reversed offside and made an diagonal move. He raised his leg to unload the ball in the right flank of the penalty area. Vidic, Park Ji-sung, and Carrick went to block the middle of the penalty area, fearing that Suarez would pass back in an inverted triangle to find Kaká.
Ferdinand headed towards Suarez, who took a step forward towards the baseline and made a cross.
The football passed over the goal and fell backward.
Van der Sar quickly ran towards the left goal post.
But when the football fell into the sky over the top left corner of the small penalty area, Gareth Bale rushed to it, jumped off the ground and headed the ball into the top left corner of the goal!
After landing, Gareth Bale opened his arms and roared with a smile and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate.
Leeds United 2:0 Manchester United.
The Red Devils fans looked as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Many people feel panic and uneasiness.
The new season hasn’t started yet!
Will Leeds United deprive him of even his expected qualifications?
Ferguson gritted his teeth.
He was keenly aware that Leeds United had a more systematic tactical design based on the fast-paced style of the Premier League.
In the past, Premier League teams were able to gain an advantage over other European leagues through running.
But after this advantage lasted for two or three years, other European teams also caught up, making the advantage of the Premier League teams no longer exist.
This can be seen in the disappearance of the collective strong situation of the Premier League teams in the Champions League and the severe competitive situation of the upper and mid-tier teams in the Premier League local leagues challenging the top four.
At a time when the current situation is undergoing subtle changes, Leeds United seems to be pointing the way forward for the top teams in the Premier League.
The gold content of technical and tactical play must be upgraded.
Trying to crush your opponents by relying on your physical fitness and high-intensity confrontation in the past is an outdated idea.
Manchester United, which is two goals behind, is in a more passive situation.
The dashing Berbatov was at the front waiting for his chance from the beginning, and the longer he waited, the worse he got.
Nani and Welbeck's contribution to defense is really limited.
Rooney was originally given the important task of being the offensive playmaker in the frontcourt, but turned into a pure blue-collar warrior assisting defense in the backcourt.
Manchester United's fouls are becoming more and more frequent.
Leeds United's teamwork is more important than in any previous season.
And when Kaka suddenly starts to perform a dribbling breakthrough, it will make Manchester United's defense become a frightened bird.
They will immediately commit a foul, and 99% of the fouls at this time are tactical fouls.
Even in a Community Shield game, the referee cannot turn a blind eye.
Something big is bound to happen.
If it doesn't work well, the competition will develop in the direction of all martial arts.
In the 38th minute of the game, Suarez was knocked to the ground from behind by Ferdinand while receiving the ball in front of the penalty area.
Although Ferdinand did not receive a card, the referee still gave Leeds United a direct free kick opportunity in a good position.
Modric took the penalty, and the football he shot passed through the wall in an obvious arc and then fell into the upper left corner of the goal!
Dead end, no solution!
The old Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has no temper at all.
He seals the far corner and the wall seals the near corner.
The near corner was penetrated, which was nothing to do with the goalkeeper.
The new Wembley Stadium has become a sea of joy for Leeds United fans, and they can also happily mock Manchester United mercilessly.
"Manchester United is the Glazer's little bitch!"
"Manchester United, smile!"
"Manchester United, if you want to cry, don't affect our celebration, thank you!"
Leeds United 3:0 Manchester United.
Shen Hao kept clapping and nodding with a smile on his face.
When the Leeds United fans went to celebrate, they were high-spirited and heroic!
Ferguson was livid.
I really can’t hold my head up!
And even he seemed to be afraid when he looked at Shen Hao!
The tyrant in white was crowned the World Cup champion coach in the summer, which invisibly enhanced his aura on the basis of being the European hegemon.
Make his opponents feel terrified!
At the same time, people with lofty ideals in this era who are eager to make achievements or become successful are willing to join his disciples.
In the summer transfer market, Leeds United specialized in young players. In the end of a series of battles for young players that shocked the media, Leeds United won a big victory!
And it didn't come at a high price.
There is no doubt that the ability and charisma of the tyrant in white as a head coach played a decisive role.
Such an opponent will naturally make Ferguson confused about the future.
With the support given to him by the Glazer family being extremely limited, can he trample Shen Hao under his feet in the long-term competition?
he does not know.
The first half of the game ended quickly.
After the Leeds United players, who had almost established a three-goal lead with overwhelming momentum, returned to the dressing room, Shen Hao did not give them the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of beating Manchester United in the first half.
Shen Hao made adjustments intensively.
Leeds United needs to adjust a lot.
So no time to waste.
The players immediately made a gesture of listening carefully.
When the players from both sides returned to the field in the second half, the Manchester United fans in the stands had become listless.
"Hey, Leeds United have made a substitution!"
"Is this... humiliating us?"
"If we can't beat this, it's not Leeds United's humiliation to us, but our own humiliation!"
Ferguson was a little confused.
Leeds United made three substitutions at once.
There are 6 substitution places in the Community Shield.
Kaká, Modric and Deisler were substituted.
These three are all Leeds United's oldest players on the court.
And what about the players who were replaced?
The midfielders are all younger.
Casemiro, Rakitic, Eriksen.
Leeds United change 442.
In terms of formation structure, Leeds United must have strengthened its defense.
But from the perspective of comprehensive strength, the overall strength has definitely been weakened.
Leeds United's attitude became more conservative after the start of the second half.
Ferguson watched for a long time before realizing a reality that made him even more angry.
Shen Hao is using Manchester United to train Leeds United!
The oldest audience of Leeds United’s current lineup is no more than 26 years old.
The youngest is only 18 years old!
Shen Hao still stood on the sidelines supervising the battle.
And it looked more serious than in the first half.
Manchester United is a good opponent.
A win for Leeds United against their arch-rivals will give fans the excitement and joy that goes beyond the victory.
And Manchester United's strength can also be used to hone Leeds United's young players.
He was sure Manchester United would come out.
Unless Ferguson is as heartbroken as a light goes out.
Manchester United began to organize the offensive in an orderly manner.
But the front trident was idle for 45 minutes, and it was really difficult to improve in the second half.
Moreover, Leeds United did not change its defensive strategy of actively pressing and sweeping.
It just moved the key defensive area back.
Casemiro is a newbie and is obviously a little nervous on the court.
This is not strictly an official match.
But in terms of intensity and importance, it is equivalent to giving Casemiro a hellish level of difficulty.
Fortunately, Shen Hao still kept Kanter on the court.
Can support the lower limit of midfield defense.
Manchester United's offense is in good shape, it's still the same formula and taste of the past.
Nani on the right has a bit of something, but not much.
Welbeck on the left...it's hard to describe.
Especially when Leeds United's defensive position is tight, once Welbeck chooses to dribble forward by himself, it is like throwing himself into a trap.
Time keeps passing.
Gareth Bale and Suarez attacked Manchester United's defense from time to time in the frontcourt. Even if a shot was formed, without the creativity of Kaká and Modric in organizing and attacking, and the breakthrough and containment, the two wanted to break through Van der Sar. The finger joint has also become difficult.
The shooting chances were not ideal.
It's ok.
Shen Hao also needs to let the two of them accumulate experience and hone their mentality in a relatively difficult situation.
After 75 minutes of the game, Leeds United continued to make substitutions.
Reus, Griezmann, and Azpilicueta appeared together.
All substitution quotas have been used up.
The two forwards are opposite substitutions.
Azpilicueta replaced Thiago Silva.
Azpilicueta can play as a full-back or as a centre-back.
Shen Hao planned to develop him in the direction of snake oil.
The reason is also very simple.
The expectations that can be brought to Shen Hao in terms of offense are not high, so he should be trained in a more comprehensive direction on the defensive end.
Manchester United also made substitutions.
After the evergreen Premier League player Giggs came on the scene, Manchester United's left attack improved. At least Giggs and Evra can deliver threatening crosses from the left.
Manchester United's short, flat and fast style of play is also constantly improving efficiency.
When the game came to an end, Manchester United gradually formed a situation advantage with soldiers pressing down on the situation.
Although Leeds United launched a quick counterattack, Griezmann failed to seize the chance of a single goal.
Seeing that the game is about to enter injury time.
Giggs' cross in front of the left baseline accurately found Welbeck who ran from the front of the goal to the back point.
Ferguson had replaced the dashing Berbatov.
Welbeck took off in front of the right post and then shook his head and sent the ball into the Leeds United goal.
Manchester United fans can finally cheer.
As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.
Obviously the game can't be won back.
Shen Hao's expression remained unchanged.
The Leeds United players stabilized their mentality and went all out to play the last few minutes, preventing Manchester United from continuing to pose a threat.
When the final whistle sounded, Leeds United won 3:1 against Manchester United.
Win the Community Shield again!
Shen Hao walked into the stadium with a smile and praised a group of young men.
Most of the young players who came on the bench were experienced, but Kanter, who played the whole game, made Shen Hao particularly fond of him.
Who would have thought that the defensive midfielder position that had been bothering him all those years would end up being an unattractive little black egg who came to Leeds United from a French amateur team and became an unshakable central axis?
Shen Hao touched Kanter's head, hugged him and said in his ear: "You are like a killer. Have you seen how many times Rooney almost collapsed? When he goes home tonight, he will be yours in his dreams." Look."
Kanter smiled, his neat white teeth particularly eye-catching.
In addition to the introduction of four young players in the summer, Leeds United's key task is to renew their contracts.
For example, although Kanter has only been here for one year, his strength has grown rapidly, and he is also a member of the Champions League winning team. The initial contract given to him was simply a bargain, and Leeds United will certainly give him a salary increase.
Other players have also been offered new contracts.
The increase is just different.
This makes Kanter more certain and confident about his future, and he is particularly proud to wear white!
