Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 388 Casting the net everywhere, the Son of God faces a choice!

"Manchester City offers Markey £1000 million to Leeds United!"

"Man City offers Deisler to Leeds United for £2500 million!"

"Man City offers Leeds United £4000 million for Modric!"

"Man City offers Rakitic £1500 million to Leeds United!"

"Man City offers Seth Johnson £1000 million to Leeds United!"

"Manchester City offers Thiago Silva £2000 million to Leeds United!"

"Man City offers Kompany £3500 million to Leeds United!"

"Man City offers Leeds United £1200 million for Baines!"

"Man City offers Leeds United £300 million for Toldo."

...

On the first day of 2009, the moment the winter transfer window opened, Manchester City couldn't wait to show the fangs of capital to European football, acting barbarically and wantonly!

Even Fleet Street was shocked!

"Instead of targeting so many players from Leeds United, why did the owner of Manchester City want to acquire Manchester City? He should have purchased Leeds United directly!"

Manchester City is not just targeting Leeds United. They attack in all directions, as if they are casting a net on the side. As long as they can catch the targets they are interested in, one by one, it will always improve the strength of their lineup.

For example, they launched a real money offensive against AC Milan's Kaka!

Manchester City, which has immeasurable wealth, wants to become the top team in England and even European football as quickly as possible. There is no doubt that it must first recruit recognized top players and the next generation of talents that the outside world is optimistic about.

Whether they can use it or not is secondary.

In this way, they can save the team building cycle, trial and error in a shorter time, and the replacement efficiency will reach a level that other teams will find difficult to catch up.

Fleet Street await a response from Leeds United.

Of course Leeds United refused them all!

Then when Shen Hao attended the pre-match press conference for the make-up match against Manchester United, people tried to gain insight into his true emotions from the reaction of the Leeds tyrant.

Shen Hao did not shy away from talking about it. As Manchester City's "expansion" was so brutal and public, Shen Hao's reaction seemed very calm.

"Of course they can if they have the budget, I don't see anything wrong with that, if we were Manchester City we would want to bring home the best players in the world.

The situation in contemporary football is that the club's ownership of players is constantly being weakened, and the relationship between players and clubs has become increasingly fragile, especially when they cannot withstand the temptation of money.

But players with mature thinking and cognition should understand that the attraction of money is part of it, and part of it is the environment for career development, reasonable long-term planning, etc.

There are countless cases of failed transfers for the sake of money, changing the originally positive development trajectory of players.

Overall this is a two-way choice.

We have turned down Manchester City now because these players play an important role in our development.

How the players feel will be their choice, provided that even if they want to leave, Leeds United will make the final decision during the contract period. "

Although Manchester City will not have direct contact with Leeds United players, it would be too easy for them to become public enemies of the entire European football world.

You can quote.

But you can no longer turn against players privately.

But they can show their sincerity in other ways.

For example, some agents or intermediaries will reveal to the media: Manchester City has an exciting long-term plan to become the best club in the world. At the same time, they will be very generous to the players. If there are players they like to build Manchester City, these players will The treatment will be at least double that of the current one!

They have not contacted the players privately, but they have spread the word to the world about the generous treatment they will give their players.

It is possible to start by doubling, tripling, or quintupling.

...

The message sent out by Leeds United disappointed Fleet Street.

There didn't seem to be any trouble.

The players who were quoted from Leeds United seemed to show a noble and arrogant disregard for Manchester City.

The temptation of money cannot sway them.

And besides money... what else does Manchester City have?

Nothing, nothing!

So it's actually very simple.

Are players in their prime willing to sell their golden years to Manchester City or stay at Leeds United to create a more glorious legendary career?

Are young players willing to risk their entire future to go to Manchester City or work hard at Leeds United, where growth and development are more certain?

Only veterans may actually be interested in Manchester City's invitation.

After all, making more money is the most normal thing for players of their age.

It's just that they didn't lose their professional ethics because of money.

The timing wasn't right.

Leeds United's lineup is streamlined. Even if they want to leave the team at this stage, Shen Hao will definitely disagree.

At least give Leeds United time and space to buffer, supplement, and adjust.

So it's calm here at Leeds United.

However, Kaka, who is Manchester City's main target in the winter transfer window, is not calm in Milan.

His family expects him to accept an offer from Manchester City.

Without him, too much is given.

AC Milan also intends to monetize Kaka.

After Mr. Bei used AC Milan to realize his personal political ambitions, his enthusiasm for AC Milan gradually declined.

The Calciopoli scandal dealt a fatal blow to the Italian football market. The football market was deserted, sponsors withdrew, and the club's income dropped sharply.

The operating and development costs of Europe's top leagues are increasing year by year.

Since AC Milan sold Shevchenko, AC Milan's business goals have begun to undergo tremendous changes.

The club is secretly negotiating with Manchester City and may set a new record for the highest transfer fee in world football.

But one link that can never be avoided is... Kaka.

Only when Kaka nodded in agreement could the transfer be successfully completed.

AC Milan fans are not stupid. Of course they can detect that the club intends to cash in Kaká.

So they spontaneously united and started the "Protect Kaka" movement.

On the one hand, it puts pressure on the club, on the other hand, it also puts pressure on Kaká.

Their attitude towards the club is tough and can even be said to be a threat.

And Kaka used warm and even humble requests to retain him.

Kaka faces a choice.

...

Ronaldinho's vacation is not long, only a week.

I returned to Leeds for two days to train and prepare very seriously. After returning to my hometown to have a good time, I showed my attitude and returned to work.

Leeds United went to Old Trafford to stage a Rose Derby with Manchester United.

Because Manchester United is 10 points behind Leeds United, and they have their mortal enemy Liverpool in front of them.

In addition, noisy neighbor Manchester City has become extremely rich and the country is in conflict.

It seems as if the whole world is full of malice towards Manchester United!

Ferguson naturally couldn't get angry before the game.

When he was sitting on the dugout at Old Trafford, chewing gum and frowning at Leeds United's starting lineup.

He lowered his head and cursed.

While Manchester United has been plagued by injuries, Leeds United's streamlined squad this season has maintained overall health.

Even though Modric and Ronaldinho were injured, they hardly missed many games.

Today, Manchester United's starting lineup is missing two key players.

Ferdinand and midfielder Hargreaves on the back line.

Of course, Ferguson will look at Leeds United's neat lineup and feel very unbalanced.

Shen Hao stood on the sidelines and supervised the battle with his hands behind his back.

Manchester United starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.

Defenders: Rafael, Evans, Vidic, O'Shea.

Midfielder: Carrick, Rooney, Scholes.

Forwards: Nani, Berbatov, Ronaldo.

Leeds United started 442.

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Belletti, Kompany, Helguera, Baines.

Midfielder: Deisler, Modric, Ze Roberto, Van Bronckhorst.

Forwards: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.

Shen Hao took out the anti-reverse 442 formation that he has used from time to time since last season.

Although Leeds United has a complete lineup, the players' condition, especially their physical fitness, faces a severe test.

When he has a big lead in the league, he doesn't want the team to squander this advantage.

Combined with the overall state of the team, he adopted a style of play that increased the fault tolerance rate.

And the current situation is that it is Manchester United that should be anxious.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Manchester United was also more cautious after the start, but gradually accelerated after entering the state.

People were surprised to find that Modric was given a new role by Shen Hao.

Organize from behind and take into account the defense of the midfielder.

Shen Hao indeed intends to train him to become a more comprehensive midfielder.

In particular, he had a vague hunch that Leeds United's technical and tactical strength in improving defensive counterattacks would be useful.

Because in the past half year, the Spanish national team first won the European Cup, and now Barcelona is in full swing in La Liga.

It can be said that only Barcelona in the five major leagues can rival Leeds United in terms of record.

This phenomenon will also be subtly deepened by Shen Hao's repeated study of European Cup champion Spain during his preparations for coaching the Dutch national team.

This gave him an invisible sense of crisis.

Even though the sense of crisis is not great, it lingers in my mind.

Manchester United began to take the initiative and failed to hit the right side of the wing attack. Nani was unable to do anything in the face of Baines and Van Bronckhorst's attack.

So the focus is on Ronaldo on the left.

Although Belletti and Deisler were unable to completely freeze the Portuguese star, with Modric and Kompany encircling and blocking him, the Leeds United defense with its compressed space also made Ronaldo more suitable for opening and closing. The style of the environment exposes some shortcomings.

In the past, he was very fancy, but his practicality was terrible. Simply put, his delicacy in complex environments still lags behind the top players of the past and contemporary times.

He is strong in finishing ability, awareness and shooting skills. His shooting range is farther than most players. He can also perform head and kick in the penalty area in a simple and efficient way.

But I want to create my own opportunities and then end them myself.

Or not.

But he still stands out from the crowd.

Berbatov's leisurely running on the court seemed incompatible with the intense and murderous game.

Perhaps in most games he would look cool in this stance.

But in the peak matchup, such a performance showed that the state was neither tough enough nor diligent enough.

When Leeds United can calmly organize the offense in the backcourt, Rooney needs to make more runs to actively counterattack.

As a result, when he failed to counterattack Ze Roberto but used too much force, he collided with Ze Roberto. It was fine for the Brazilian veteran to dodge and protect himself. To him, it was just a regular collision.

But Rooney fell to the ground.

"Rooney is injured! He may not be able to continue playing."

"Manchester United is really struggling because of the continuous rain."

"Look at Ferguson's face, it turned green all of a sudden."

The game lasted only 10 minutes before Rooney was replaced.

Manchester United fans looked sad.

There were flashes of lightning and faint thunder in the haze that shrouded Old Trafford, the result of falling behind and giving Leeds a huge disadvantage.

After Anderson came on the scene, Manchester United took the initiative to slow down the pace.

Leeds United's regular offense can complete the entire offensive in the frontcourt without much threat.

Ronaldinho and Ronaldo's long-range shots failed to pose a challenge to Van der Sar.

But when Manchester United speeded up again, Ronaldo tried to complete the wall coordination with his teammates in the middle.

After passing the ball, he ran in and saw Anderson being pressed by Ze Roberto as soon as he stopped the ball. Anderson was forced to smash the ball in a different direction, but Modric intercepted the ball at the next moment.

Ronaldo, who didn't wait for the ball, looked up to the sky and sighed.

Make no secret of your disappointment.

Modric launched a fast break on the spot, and Deisler quickly jumped in from the wing. After turning inside to respond, Deisler and Modric successfully restrained Scholes and Carrick.

Deisler sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Just when everyone thought Ronaldinho was going to respond, Ronaldinho missed the ball and ran towards the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Everyone's eyes turned, and what they saw was Van Bronckhorst quickly reaching the left side of the frontcourt, touching the ball and kicking it out.

After the football rolled into the left rib of the penalty area, Ronaldinho stopped and took a step forward to face Evans. With a sudden change of direction, he completed the breakthrough against Evans.

Vidic quickly made up for the interception, and Ronaldinho slammed the ball behind him to complete the cross pass.

Ronaldo outflanked the ball in the middle and hit it, and the football flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar made a hasty save but failed.

Leeds United fans roared with deafening cheers at Old Trafford!

"The goal is in! Ronaldo scores against Manchester United again!"

"Wonderful quick counterattack, quicksilver and imaginative teamwork. Deisler followed up, contained, and diverted from the right. The right was actually a feint attack. Van Bronckhorst on the left was the real threat!

When Ronaldinho faced young center back Evans in the penalty area, Manchester United's defense was on the line between life and death! "

"Ronaldinho passing Evans was probably like crossing the road. After containing Vidic, he assisted Ronaldo to score by hitting the ball hard from behind."

"I have to say that a healthy and excellent Ronaldinho will give Ronaldo a looser space to play in the penalty area and give him better opportunities."

"What should Manchester United do? If they lose this Rose Derby at home, they will be 13 points behind Leeds United!"

The same question is naturally lingering on the minds of Manchester United fans.

The situation is not good, the situation is critical.

Hero, where is it?
