Chapter 359 Whoever doesn’t win will be embarrassed!
Compared with the beginning of previous seasons, many teams are overall slower.
Or it may be due to the adjustment of the lineup replacement, or it may be due to the need to improve the status during the competition period, etc.
But at least at the beginning of this season, West Ham United surprised Leeds United with a high-intensity performance against aggressive players.
Fortunately, Leeds United itself is very strong and has the ability to reduce dimensionality at the technical and tactical level.
Fighting back little by little under strong headwind.
First, he reversed the situation, then controlled the rhythm, and finally, he began to create a steady stream of offensive threats.
A goal was scored in the half to narrow the score gap.
Not only did Leeds United become more confident in their mentality, but they also overpowered the home team West Ham United in terms of morale.
Shen Hao's instructions and adjustments to the team during the halftime break were spot on.
"We know exactly what they are capable of. If we are more vigilant now, we can control the game well. Don't be too anxious in the second half and defend first."
Neuer conceded two goals in the opening game, and he could feel the live game cameras staying on him for a long time.
Shen Hao did not talk to him about losing the ball. The timing was inappropriate, and Shen Hao also felt it was unnecessary.
Before the start of today's game, Shen Hao used all the more than 50 lottery opportunities.
Neuer is already full of ability and experience buffs that can be used throughout this season.
At the same time, it also gives Rakitic, Baynes, and Thiago Silva full BUFF.
Even so, he had more than enough in stock.
It’s actually useless to keep it.
But it doesn’t make much sense to use it for veterans.
He was going to keep it for Ronaldinho.
The guy who has gone downhill in the past two years has dropped his strength by 10 points.
In the second half, they returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.
West Ham United hit the ground running.
Shen Hao smiled on the sidelines.
Sure enough, the old trick was repeated.
There is no other way.
Curbishli naturally does not want to be completely suppressed by Leeds United and suffer a reversal.
So choose to take the initiative.
A ferocious start to the first half paid off.
Do it again in the second half without changing positions.
As a result, Leeds United were not only prepared and successfully withstood West Ham United's fierce attack, but also launched a fast break to create a fatal threat just after 50 minutes of the game.
Deisler dribbled in from the right side of the frontcourt to create potential and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
Ronaldo stopped the ball sideways on the penalty area line, first dribbled forward to the right, pulled the ball in the opposite direction, turned around to get rid of the defense, and then swung his legs to volley.
The ball speed is not fast and the angle is tricky.
The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal, hit the post and bounced into the goal!
Upton Park has changed in an instant.
Hammers fans fell into a dead silence.
The fans in white cheered.
"Although Ronaldo is one year older than last year, his condition is much better than when he came back last summer!"
"Yes, I still remember that at the beginning of last season, Ronaldo had no results throughout August!"
"As long as he maintains his outstanding performance until the end of the year, I think he can become the first star in history to win the Ballon d'Or four times!"
"Spain won the European Cup in the summer, but there is no particularly outstanding hero in the championship lineup. Ronaldo has a very high probability of winning the Ballon d'Or again."
"Although Rivaldo is gone, Ronaldinho is about to report, and we still have two Ballon d'Or players in our team."
West Ham United panicked.
The two-goal lead was wiped out by Leeds United.
The tactics that worked in the first half failed in the second half.
Kubishli felt disappointed and did not dare to be tough anymore.
Signal to the team to strengthen the defense.
West Ham United can only bow to reality.
Leeds United played steadily on the field, reshaped the situation, and then continued to launch fierce attacks.
If the Hammers want to be tough, they can show it.
But it is impossible to say that they will be in great shape when they come back after the offseason.
The defensive formation is tight, but the defensive quality is not strong enough.
Leeds United continued to play local quick passes in the frontcourt to create threats.
As the game approached the 70th minute, Ze Roberto and Van Bronckhorst cooperated on the left to break down some of the defense lines. Ze Roberto sent a cross in front of the bottom line in the penalty area.
The football flying towards the back of the penalty area was outflanked by Deisler who cut inside and volleyed into the near corner of the goal!
Deisler turned and rushed to the sidelines with arms spread and a smile on his face.
"Let two chase three! Leeds United overtook the score! Deisler is online, currently one shot and two passes!"
"Man City made an offer of 2500 million pounds for Deisler, but Leeds United ignored it at all. Deisler personally stated that he only wanted to play for Leeds United. Manchester City may have forgotten that Bayern Munich expected Deisler last summer. Deisler returned to the Bundesliga, but Deisler remained unmoved."
"As Brother Hao said, Leeds United will respect the player's choice. If Ribery and Robben want to go to Madrid, then let them go. The two of them have brought Leeds United 1.6 million euros in transfer revenue. You If he doesn’t leave, where will Leeds United’s new stadium come from?”
"The most important thing is that although we sold our main stars, the quality of the replacements is definitely not bad. Last year, Franck Ribery left and Robben came.
This year Robben left and Ronaldinho came.
Brother Hao's transfer operation is absolutely reassuring. "
Hammers fans want to look up to the sky and spurt blood!
From 2:0 leading to 2:3 behind!
Leeds United are so powerful and terrifying!
Shen Hao smiled and applauded. West Ham United took a wrong approach and caught Leeds United by surprise.
But Leeds United stayed calm and patiently and focusedly fought back their disadvantages bit by bit. The gap gradually narrowed and then they overtook the lead!
Because they are the dominant players in the Premier League and the contemporary kings of the Champions League!
Even if it is an away game, I have absolute confidence when facing West Ham United.
Shen Hao started to make substitutions.
Baines and Kelly came on first to replace Belletti and Van Bronckhorst.
Five minutes later, Ronaldo was replaced by Ma Kai.
West Ham United launched a strong counterattack as the game approached 80 minutes.
This is really going to burn the boat.
Within 4 minutes, two threatening shots were blocked by Neuer to resolve the danger. Shen Hao could not help but nod and applaud on the sidelines to express his appreciation.
Leeds United fans were also delighted with Neuer's two saves.
However, the goalkeeper position requires more long-term observation, because stability is the first requirement for a goalkeeper.
This is different from forwards and midfielders.
What the forwards and midfielders need is ability to demonstrate.
You can get a rough idea of your ability by looking at your ball handling performance.
If you don't know the technical moves, you just don't know how to do it. If you can't speed up, it will be difficult to improve much.
In the 87th minute of the game, West Ham United's strong attack was blocked by Kelly on the left side of the frontcourt.
After the interception was successful, Kelly passed the ball to Rakitic, who completed a short-distance quick pass with Jamie Redknapp and Modric, making West Ham United's counterattack in vain.
Then Modric moved to pick up the ball and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
Baynes quickly jumped in from the left, stopping and moving forward. Not only did he not slow down, he was also accelerating!
West Ham United's defense was obviously panicked in the return.
The player who went to intercept and snipe Baynes was directly thrown away by the wall-hitting cooperation between Baynes and Ze Roberto.
Baynes, who rushed for more than 60 yards in one breath, sent a ground-breaking cross from the edge of the penalty area.
Ma Kai outflanked the center and stepped on the right foot, and pushed the ball accurately into the lower left corner of the goal.
Leeds United fans cheered.
At the same time, Baynes, who came on as a substitute, left a deep impression on everyone.
"The impact of Baines's left pass was too explosive!"
"Yes, although Ashley Cole is the ceiling for local left backs, but since Ashley Cole went to Chelsea, it seems that he can no longer assist, and his offensive ability is completely different from when he was at Arsenal. On a par with that, Baynes' defensive ability is not as good as Ashley Cole, but his offensive ability is definitely better."
"Today we have 2 chasing 4. Haha, it's not perfect, but it's a good start!"
For the Hammers, this game was a bit anticlimactic.
Fans are frustrated.
Shen Hao was not worried from beginning to end.
Face problems and solve them.
As long as Leeds United's overall strength is not a problem, they will be able to win the games they should win.
As the head coach, his job is to let the team unleash its abilities and point the team in the right direction when encountering tests or setbacks.
Kubishli sighed.
Even the dream start failed to upset Leeds United.
What a waste.
How can you not regret it?
Soon after, the game came to an end.
After Shen Hao shook hands with Cubishli, he turned and walked into the players' tunnel.
In an interview after the game, he said calmly: "West Ham United played a good game for 10 minutes. Let us use 80 minutes to save the defeat. The team needs to take a warning. All teams in the Premier League can use sniper attacks." Leeds United are proud."
He is telling the truth. Many teams must be as excited as winning the championship as long as they can score points against Leeds United.
But if it reaches the ears of other Premier League teams, it will definitely make them feel uncomfortable.
But there is no way.
It’s not fun to watch Leeds United.
There is just no way to kill Leeds United.
In the first round, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool all had a good start to the season.
Manchester United drew 1:1 with Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
Their neighbours, upstart Manchester City, were educated by Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Manchester's two teams have become the first-round favorites of the Premier League.
One looks like his hips will be stretched at the beginning of the season.
The other is that Xia Tian spent a lot of money but still got beaten.
Generally speaking, you can become stronger by spending money.
But there are always a few teams that spend money but have no change in strength and deserve no less beatings.
...
The season begins.
High-intensity training is the norm at Leeds United.
New players who come to the team naturally have new feelings and experiences.
Like Neuer, both strength and quality have improved.
If shooters like Ronaldo and Ma Kai come to practice his saves, he will of course not dare to relax on the training ground and always maintain his full concentration. The quality of training will of course continue to improve.
Rookie Kyle Walker's physical fitness is explosive, and his ability to keep up with the intensity is impressive.
Leeds United face lower-tier team Notts County at home in midweek.
The League Cup begins.
The team rotates.
Although the control ability on the scene is not obvious, the sense of rhythm is also poor.
However, in the atmosphere of fierce confrontation, Leeds United repeatedly tore apart Notts County's defense through more fluid and tacit teamwork.
The starting performance of Baynes, who almost took everything from the left, clearly shows that in this level of competition, he already has the ability to determine the trend of the game.
Ma Kai had fun playing today.
In the first and second half, he scored a hat-trick of goals with head kicks, left and right bows.
Rakitic and Kilgallon were the icing on the cake.
Leeds United swept Notts County 5-0 at home and advanced to the next round.
In small games this season, Shen Hao mainly trains and trains Kyle Walker.
Although the upper limit of Baynes' growth at the left back position is not world-class, at least it will not cause a personnel gap in the team.
Kelly and Belletti at the right back position are already veterans.
Young players are needed to take over.
Kyle Walker was a surprise for him this summer.
High potential and strong physique.
Although there is a problem that local English players are too strong and lack finesse, in general, at the position of full-back, the price/performance ratio is very high.
The signing price is only 500 million pounds.
As for the forward line, he has no plans to reserve young forwards. If he is not a talented super forward prospect, the progress he buys and uses in small games to level up may not be particularly satisfactory.
He is less worried about the midfield.
Modric can be on his own, and Rakitic can be the absolute main force if he reaches a higher level.
As long as he does not encounter a strong team in key games, Rakitic is now a stable starter for the team.
The weekend will usher in the BIG5 civil war at home.
The timing is clearly not good for Leeds United.
Many main players have not yet returned to the team.
Chelsea's signing operations after the coaching change this summer have been lackluster.
The addition of Deco and Bosingwa only cost 3000 million.
The departure of Sidwell, Bollaruz, Wright-Phillips, Ben Haim and other players generated more than 4000 million for Chelsea.
Since Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003, for the first time in the summer transfer market, Chelsea actually made money!
Simply appalling.
Chelsea, who started the sugar daddy mode back then, has always spent money like water.
Unexpectedly, they also make money from the transfer market.
I don’t know if Abramovich has lost interest in football or if his assets have shrunk over the years and he wants to make money through the club.
The new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has made drastic reforms at Chelsea and promised to bring sexy football to Chelsea.
Whether he can be kicked out must first be operated on the personnel.
Therefore, a die-hard Mourinho fan like Drogba and a high center forward whose foot skills were not delicate enough were directly relegated to the sidelines!
Fleet Street doesn't miss an opportunity like this to stir up buzz.
Of course it will bring an impact to Chelsea from public opinion.
Even Shen Hao was asked by reporters at the pre-match press conference what Scolari's comment was on hiding Drogba.
Although Shen Hao has always been sharp and powerful in front of the media.
But he is not a person who likes to add insult to injury.
"I don't want to comment on Chelsea's internal affairs, and I don't want to discuss such meaningless topics."
The fact is that Scolari's abandonment of Drogba was not without cost.
The record is good and he did the right thing.
If his record is poor, he will definitely take the blame.
This is equivalent to him taking a gamble.
If he thinks it is necessary, he can certainly do so.
