Chapter 462: Strength and confidence, accelerated maturity!
In the post-match public opinion after Leeds United slaughtered Real Madrid.
The voices supporting Leeds United from Yorkshire to Fleet Street echoed deafeningly!
David Walmot wrote an article praising the greatness of Leeds United.
"The glory of the past belonged to Real Madrid's Los Blancos, but today's glory is replaced by Leeds United's Los Blancos!"
Jamie Redknapp was eloquent in his columns and interviews.
"No one will deny the excellence of Ronaldo, but when you see Kaka becoming the most shining protagonist, it tells everyone a truth more profoundly and vividly.
When you are unknown, hard work and talent matter!
But when you become a star, choice is more important than hard work!
If Ronaldo played for Leeds United, I can definitely say that he has become Mr. Ballon d'Or.
The same goes for Messi. If he came to Elland Road from Camp Nou in the summer of 2008, then Messi would be the one delivering the acceptance speech at the 2009 Ballon d'Or Awards!
Talking about history, Leeds United ranks last among the giants.
But when it comes to looking forward to the future, Leeds United is the first choice for all stars who want to succeed and create great achievements.
Because there is a tyrant in white, he can inspire the players to their maximum potential, sublimate their performance, and lead the team to sweep all opponents! "
...
Shen Hao will not be complacent about defeating Real Madrid.
Before Real Madrid overturned Barcelona, Real Madrid's changes in strength were not proven by results.
After all, they have big gimmicks and attract a lot of attention.
That's it.
He remains down-to-earth and conscientious.
It’s just that the training work now is a little easier than it was for most of the past season.
For most of the past season, he not only had to worry about the status of Ronaldinho, but also paid attention to the training performance of all young players. After summarizing in a short period, he had frequent exchanges and guidance with the players.
When young players get on track, there will naturally be less guidance because the players are doing just fine.
Instead, identify problems from game performance, then summarize and learn lessons to improve performance.
Young players are highly motivated and energetic, and they will show a prosperous atmosphere if they are on the right track.
This also made Shen Hao feel happy and gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Leeds United face Tottenham Hotspur at home this weekend.
The last time the two teams met, they scored a shocking 7:7.
Therefore, this competition has attracted more attention.
Shen Hao did not live in the shadows, he still started the rotation at his own pace.
Liverpool have stretched their hips this year.
But the fight for fourth place is still fierce.
Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City currently look like these three teams are hoping to get into the top four.
Old Redknapp's coaching of Tottenham has temporarily satisfied Tottenham fans, slightly exceeding expectations.
After all, the situation in the Premier League is changing rapidly.
You must know that before 03, the Premier League was still a world where Arsenal and Manchester United competed for hegemony.
In just 7 years.
Chelsea, Leeds United, and now the wealthy Manchester City are on the rise.
Even if we don’t talk about the championship structure.
Just for the top four Champions League seats, it will definitely be an unprecedented and cruel fight than before.
If Tottenham can hope to participate in the battle for fourth place, this will definitely exceed expectations.
Old Redknapp stood at Elland Road, looking at Leeds United's rotation.
In my heart, besides admiration for Shen Hao, I still admire him.
It’s not just the courage to rotate.
And the ability and speed to build a lineup.
This group of rising stars from Leeds United is simply mind-numbing.
It seems that Leeds United is driving a change in European football at the star level!
And when his eyes saw Gareth Bale, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
In the past few days, the scene of Gareth Bale overtaking Arbeloa on the wing has been repeatedly played by the media.
His performance against Real Madrid was remarkable.
This quickly made him the focus of attention and coverage on Fleet Street.
Last year, he was still an "unlucky guy" who was used as a clown by Fleet Street for public entertainment.
Now he has become the "Flying Welshman on the Green Field" as Fleet Street calls him!
If it weren't for the fact that he owed Shen Hao a favor, Redknapp wouldn't have been able to persuade Levy to let go of Gareth Bale.
the reason is simple.
As long as the Leeds tyrant is interested in someone whose club can withstand the transfer fee attack, the head coach will definitely have his hands on him.
There are quite a few players that Shen Hao has been unable to acquire in the past few years, and those who can attract the media's attention ultimately prove to be rare talents.
But the old Redknapp returned the favor and felt relaxed. Even when facing Shen Hao, he could feel magnanimous.
Otherwise, there would always be something to worry about, which would be a bit awkward.
The contest between Leeds United and Tottenham officially started with the referee's whistle.
Both teams played steadily and the situation was calm. After getting into the state, it was Leeds United who took the lead in launching a fierce attack.
Reus on the left and Gareth Bale on the right are more confident and threatening than their performance in the first half of the season. Rakitic's performance in the midfield is more stable.
Leeds United's trident was making waves in the frontcourt, which made old Redknapp feel frightened.
Tottenham's fast break is also threatening, testing the defense line composed of Hummels and Kilgallon.
Kanter's consecutive starts have kept Shen Hao's advice in mind and he still needs to keep a cool head.
Just after 30 minutes of the game, Leeds United's attack from the left frontcourt penetrated Tottenham's wing defense.
Baynes and Royce quickly passed and cut from close range to produce a pleasing and efficient effect. Royce cut into the penalty area and passed the ball between Dawson's legs.
Suarez took the initiative to respond to the fake shot and controlled the ball, then turned around to get rid of Ledley King, which also shook the goalkeeper Gomez's center of gravity, and then pushed into the far corner of the goal to break the deadlock!
Leeds United fans cheered excitedly.
Suarez showed the technical characteristics of a South American player, as well as the delicacy and calmness of a forward handling the ball in the penalty area.
He is also getting stronger and stronger!
Leeds United leads Tottenham 1:0.
Although Tottenham fell behind in the score, they did not panic and continued to play steadily.
Just as the half-time game was about to end, Leeds United, which had retreated, was attacked by Tottenham and penetrated the defense.
Jermain Defoe seized the opportunity in the penalty area and broke through Toldo's ten fingers.
Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench thoughtfully.
In terms of changing the rhythm according to the situation, this substitute lineup still needs more experience in the game.
If the rhythm remains unchanged, the flaws may not be exposed.
But if they want to grow, they must hone their ability to control different situations and rhythm changes.
Can the first 90 minutes and the last 30 minutes of a 30-minute game be the same?
Not to mention the opponent, the situation, just one's own physical ability is not the same thing.
The two teams entered the halftime break with a score of 1:1.
Shen Hao carefully carried out training and technical and tactical adjustments.
After the start of the second half, Leeds United's attitude remained unchanged and they launched the offensive smoothly.
After the forward performance is guaranteed, the bench lineup will have more room to perform at the technical and tactical level.
Leeds United began to have tactical coordination with wing offensive shifts in their offense.
Suarez can support and contain the center position very well, and his active movement actually has a wider range of activities than Ronaldo.
This makes the forward's offensive transfer faster and more efficient.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Royce and Baines succeeded in applying pressure from the left, and then quickly transferred the offensive.
Rakitic passed the ball to the right.
Today, Gareth Bale, who played as a right winger, accelerated the ball into the penalty area while cutting inside. Although he lacked Robben's cross-cutting operation to find a better starting environment and angle, this time he started directly. The goal was of extremely high quality.
boom!
The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!
Gareth Bale laughed heartily and rushed to the sidelines in high spirits, making a heart-shaped gesture with his hands towards the stands.
Leeds United fans are also ecstatic. Seeing the growth of young players is like witnessing their own children flying high!
Tottenham fans have mixed emotions.
Facing Leeds United for the second time this season.
Gareth Bale gave them another headache.
At 7:7 in the last game, Gareth Bale has already refreshed his impression.
Today, it is strengthened again.
Gareth Bale has gained a huge wave of confidence this month.
Having no confidence but no strength means you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
But Gareth Bale's strength has also been greatly improved this season, and it is more a change in the use of technology.
So now, by adding confidence to the already good foundation of strength, we can accelerate maturity.
Tottenham's defense against Gareth Bale was obviously strengthened, but unexpectedly when the game came to the 73rd minute, Suarez chose to transfer the ball to the left side of the top of the arc when receiving the ball in front of the penalty area.
Royce cut inside as fast as the wind, entered the penalty area with stops, changed the direction of the ball, swung the angle, and completed adjustments. Then he blasted out a shot that seemed to be of decent strength, but the angle was very tricky.
Gomez pounced on the football that flew to the far corner, fighting to the limit and missing it by a hair!
The football flies into the goal!
Royce showed a charming smile and pointed at Suarez. The two looked at each other and laughed, then ran to the sidelines to celebrate with arms around each other.
"The female fans in white are so happy! Royce, a handsome boy, scored a goal!"
"Haha, you can't say that, and you can't say that again. We in Baiyi dominate European football with our strength, not with our looks!"
Leeds United 3:1 Tottenham.
Shen Hao applauded the team's performance.
Then make substitution adjustments.
Old Redknapp was a little depressed.
Tottenham is not without offensive.
Playing Leeds United's substitute lineup can certainly organize a threatening offensive.
But today Defoe was heavily guarded after he scored.
But Crouch repeatedly missed opportunities.
After sighing, Old Redknapp also made substitutions.
Pavlyuchenko came on to replace Crouch.
Shen Hao thought the game would end smoothly.
But I didn't expect that after Tottenham's substitutions, the offensive threat quickly increased!
It is also related to Tottenham's last stand.
They have reached the point and time when it is time to break the boat.
There is no time left if we don’t work hard.
As a result, just after 80 minutes of the game, David Bentley first made a pass from the wing and assisted Pavlyuchenko with a header in the penalty area!
After another 6 minutes, Kranica's ground-hugging pass was entangled by Defoe and Hummels and both missed it.
It was Pavlyuchenko again, taking the lead and shooting in front of the small penalty area!
The score instantly became 3:3!
Tottenham fans were overjoyed.
Old Redknapp obviously didn't expect his substitution to be so magical. He clenched his fists and roared three times in excitement.
Shen Hao finally understood on the sidelines.
After working on it for a long time, it was not that Tottenham were too weak before, but that Crouch was in a sluggish state.
If someone else comes up, the threat will immediately erupt.
Leeds United has completed conservative adjustments, and no matter how hard they try at this time, they can't beat Tottenham.
The old Redknapp also gave up when he saw a good situation.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to take victory away from Elland Road.
But when I think about what if I want to beat Leeds United but get counter-attacked... how uncomfortable it would be!
So he was content to make substitutions to strengthen the defense.
In the last 5 minutes of the game, both teams played basic attacks.
No more thrilling kills.
When the final whistle sounded, Shen Hao walked towards Redknapp with a helpless smile, and the two shook hands.
"Work harder, maybe my unbeaten record at home will end today."
"Haha, I don't dare to think that. I want to make sure I get at least 1 point. This is the most practical thing."
"Haha, I hope you can succeed in the fourth round."
"It's time for you to lead your team to win five consecutive Premier League championships this year. Oops, you really don't give them a way to survive, but it's okay. You made them anxious and made mistakes in the chaos. Only then will our team have the opportunity to go further." .”
"Where can the chaos go? It's impossible for Arsenal and Manchester United to change coaches."
"That's not necessarily the case."
...
Strictly speaking, Shen Hao and the old Redknapp are not rivals. The levels of the clubs are different, and the competition tracks are also different. If they meet and fight, they will go their own ways.
But there's nothing wrong with Redknapp.
The big5 is in chaos, and only the second-tier teams have a chance.
It's just that the situation has changed too quickly.
Now that Manchester City has risen, there is a recognized strongest competitor in the second tier.
Even if there is a chance to go further.
I'm afraid there's not much chance that it's Tottenham's turn.
In this round, Leeds United lost points at home and Chelsea won away from home.
Leeds United's lead went from 6 points to 4 points.
It's rare that there is no fighting in the middle of the week.
Leeds United get a break.
At the end of February, Leeds United visited Birmingham to challenge.
It was another tough battle. Modric's long-range shot changed the situation. Kaka created a point in the penalty area to give Leeds United the opportunity to expand their lead. Deisler grabbed the point and scored for the team in the forward pass and cut cooperation. Victory.
Leeds United won the away game 3-0 cleanly.
In this round, Chelsea faced Manchester City at home but suffered a head-on blow!
Mancini's Blue Moon defeated the Blues 5:2 at Stamford Bridge!
Ronaldinho had a great game.
Leeds United's lead in the standings suddenly changed from 4 points to 7 points!
There are 10 rounds left in the Premier League.
Fleet Street could not help but be extremely pessimistic.
It’s that time of year again to curse Leeds United’s collapse.
Leeds United don't collapse.
How can Chelsea hope to counterattack and win the championship?
