Chapter 319: Condescendingly despising the Premier League?
Chimbonda soon paid the price for his rough foul on Robben.
With a yellow card on his back, he must have restrained his defensive actions.
Otherwise, if another yellow card is shown, the player will be sent off with a red card.
Leeds United's attack focuses on the right wing.
Robben cut inside and was supported by Modric and Jamie Redknapp, while Belletti drove straight in from the outside.
Chimbanda was directly beaten!
Tottenham have yet to find a particularly good offensive method to tear apart Leeds United's defense. Only Lennon has a few impressive dribbling and cutting attacks.
But Leeds United's attack from the right has already made Chimbonda dizzy.
As the game approached 20 minutes, Robben dribbled in after successfully connecting on the right side of the frontcourt.
Malbranque immediately moved to his inside line to intercept, and Chimbanda also moved inside to block Robben's forward line.
Robben quickly passed the ball diagonally back after forming a containment.
Jamie Redknapp followed up and sent the ball through.
Belletti turned from outside and entered the penalty area.
Just when Chimbanda turned around and rushed towards the baseline, Belletti decisively passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Chimbanda braked suddenly and turned around. What came into view was Robben, who came forward to respond and then faced Woodgate.
Robben controlled the ball and made a sudden stop to cross, and Woodgate immediately turned his center of gravity.
Unexpectedly, Robben paused and then quickly moved the ball forward in a straight line.
Chimbanda turned back and was caught off guard.
At this time, I didn't dare to stretch my legs, and I could only be rushed by Robben!
Robben quickly passed the ball across after a successful breakthrough.
Ronaldo outflanks the ball and touches the ball first.
Paul Robinson quickly rushed towards him to block the shooting angle.
Ledley King rushed directly, gritting his teeth and putting down a shovel in an attempt to intercept Ronaldo's shot.
But Ronaldo stopped the ball when he touched it and did not shoot.
Instead, he pulls the ball and turns sideways and back. As he turns, he swings his left leg and shoots the ball to the far corner of the goal!
Ledley King put in a shovel to intercept and save the ball.
Paul Robinson turned and ran towards the far post but it was too late.
The ball speed is too fast and the distance is too far.
Leeds United fans at the new Wembley Stadium went wild as the ball flew into the goal.
"Oh ho, Ronaldo scored! Perfect stop, calmly controlled the ball, turned around and hit the far corner!"
"This time he didn't get past the goalkeeper, but Tottenham's defender made a tackle in vain. Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson also failed to block the angle."
"Tottenham was a bit strange today. They seemed to be playing the League Cup final as if they were playing in the league."
The competition is unnamed.
Especially the finals.
Because the competing teams will be more or less utilitarian.
It is impossible simply to show off one's best offensive abilities.
Strengthening defense is the basic thinking.
But today's Tottenham did not obviously put defense first.
Tottenham, currently ranked only in the middle of the league, has the sixth-highest offensive scoring data in the Premier League, but their defensive data ranks No. 16 in the Premier League!
The strengths and weaknesses are so clear.
The offense is better among mid-table teams, but the defense is worse.
Facing Leeds United, which ranks first in offensive firepower in the Premier League.
If we don’t strengthen our defense, should we rely on short-term attacks to achieve long-term goals?
The Spanish coach is good at coaching offense, just as the overall offensive level of the La Liga team is the most technically attractive in European football.
But having a strong offense and being entertaining doesn't mean you can win a lot.
Juande Ramos had a confrontation with Shen Hao in the European Super Cup when he was coaching Sevilla.
Shen Hao still remembers that Sevilla put on a defensive posture at that time.
It's a pity that there was only defense and no counterattack.
In the end, everyone was beaten and unable to resist.
Maybe it was that battle that taught me a lesson.
Juande Ramos learned the hard way that instead of racking his brains to make fuss in the defensive areas that he is not good at, it is better to stick to his heart.
He didn't weaken Tottenham's attack.
But now it seems that Tottenham lost the ball against Leeds United and the scene was very passive.
The defense line was in turmoil.
But I haven't figured out Tottenham's offense yet.
Attack and defense are integrated, one ebbs and the other grows, inseparable.
Juande Ramos just keeps himself from getting entangled, which does not mean that the situation will develop as he expects.
Shen Hao currently doesn't see any special and careful arrangements by Tottenham.
Maybe it's because the players have a tougher stance and a more serious attitude.
But what about Leeds United?
For a team that can reach the finals, most of the basic work will be fine.
Tottenham kick off.
Shen Hao still watched the game carefully, trying to see if Tottenham had any hidden backhand.
The crazy pressing in the midfield was even more ferocious than usual.
However, Leeds United's midfielder was very technical, which resulted in Tottenham's midfielder having to commit a foul at the end of the counterattack.
After the offense advanced to the front line, no one could break through Leeds United's defense in one go, and the coordination was too simple.
Tottenham could still cause some trouble for Leeds United last season because of their forward reorganization, and many opponents didn't know much about Tottenham's offensive firepower.
Tottenham's strong firepower this season has come at the expense of defense.
The focus is on offense. Comparatively speaking, there is still a gap compared with last season.
The results speak for themselves.
Tottenham's conceding doesn't mean Chimbonda's nightmare is over.
On the contrary, it was a beginning.
Tottenham did not have a good way to contain Leeds United's wing attack.
And Leeds United launched a fierce pursuit of the area guarded by Chimbonda!
Just after 35 minutes of the game, when Belletti once again stepped in from the right and came to the bottom line to successfully connect, he did not choose to dribble into the penalty area, but passed the ball across.
Chimbonda immediately returned to the penalty area.
In response, Robben first cut inside, then controlled the ball and made an emergency stop to move the ball towards the center and cross.
Woodgate couldn't keep up with his rhythm, but Chimbonda stretched his legs from behind Robben to intercept.
The ball missed, but the person tripped to the ground.
After Robben fell, Chimbanda became furious, bent down and yelled at Robben: "You liar, you are diving!"
The wicked report first.
Although Robben does have the unique skill of deceiving points.
But this time it really wasn’t a lie.
After being kicked hard, he was still slandered by the other party.
He didn't show anger. Instead, he sat on the ground and took a moment to readjust his socks.
Disdain!
The referee has pointed to the penalty spot, no matter whether the Tottenham players plead for mercy or quibble.
The results will not change.
Ronaldo distanced himself from the irascible Chimbonda.
After Robben was pulled up by Ronaldo, he was about to speak when Ronaldo said to him: "You take the penalty kick."
Robben nodded.
Right on my mind.
When Robben looked cool and blasted the ball into the top left corner of the goal, Leeds United fans were ecstatic.
It seems like winning the championship is in sight!
When Robben went to celebrate, he unceremoniously showed off his power to Tottenham fans!
Tottenham fans were furious, but their anger was also full of grievance.
Juande Ramos sat on the coaching bench with a blank expression, as if he was indifferent to losing the ball.
This kind of picture is difficult for Tottenham fans to accept.
"What is that bastard Juande Ramos doing? Our team is falling behind. Why is he just a bystander!"
"Maybe he's dead... He knows nothing he can do will change the situation on the pitch."
"He surrendered? Damn Fake! Even if you want to die, you must fight to the death!"
Tottenham fans cannot be said to be critical of Juande Ramos' coaching performance, but they have been resentful for a long time.
If it weren't for Tottenham's reaching the League Cup final, which gave fans the illusion of winning the championship, Tottenham fans would have driven him away.
Objectively speaking, Tottenham has a striker that is not inferior to the big5.
Can't compare to Leeds United or Manchester United.
But we can still have a chance with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
The forward lines of these three big5 companies have stars, but they are too thin.
Juande Ramos has indeed allowed Tottenham's forward to produce offensive statistics that are not inferior to those of Chelsea and Liverpool, and not much worse than Arsenal.
But the problem is ranking?
They are not at the same level as the big5, and there are second-tier and mid-tier teams in between.
In other words, the striker's data is a true performance.
But overall performance was poor.
Tottenham fans were furious when they saw Juande Ramos's lack of reaction.
Before the end of the half, Tottenham took the initiative to strengthen its defense.
The team needs to regroup.
Maybe halftime is a good time to adjust.
Modric's long-range shot slipped past the goal, and Deisler's final shot also missed the goal.
Halftime is over.
Leeds United 2:0 Tottenham.
Shen Hao entered the locker room and knocked on the players' mental alertness.
There were no technical or tactical adjustments to the game.
In the second half, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.
Leeds United continue to play steadily.
Having a two-goal lead is actually enough for them to win the championship.
Is their defense this season stronger in controlling the scene and leading the rhythm, or is it the role played by Modric!
Tottenham took the lead in the second half.
High-intensity confrontation and repeated attacks by multiple players into dangerous areas put pressure on Leeds United's defense.
Jermaine Jenas, who has penetrated Leeds United's goal twice in the league this season, had two consecutive long-range shots confiscated by Toldo.
It seems that God did not grant him any more good luck today.
Just after 55 minutes of the game, Leeds United's fast break swept the frontcourt.
Deisler dribbled forward from the left and then passed the ball diagonally to the center.
Ronaldo created a containment effect in the response. He did not stick to the ball and passed the ball back with one kick.
Modric followed up and sent a through ball.
Tottenham's defense obviously consciously tried to block Robben, but Modric's through ball penetrated the left rib of the penalty area.
Deisler cut inside to meet the ball without making any adjustments, and shot with the inside of his right foot.
The football drew an intoxicating arc and fell into the upper right corner of the goal!
"Wow! Deisler scored a great goal!"
"Tottenham's resistance didn't seem strong today."
"Haha, they probably know that there is no point in holding on, so they just give it a try. They have fought hard and have no regrets."
"Hahaha, no regrets? Can you go home with the runner-up medal and sleep peacefully?"
Deisler ran to celebrate and kissed the team logo on his jersey in front of the fans.
After breaking out of his cocoon and being reborn, he finally found his ideal destination.
Leeds United fans are delighted to hear this.
Maybe some players will see Leeds United as a springboard or a transit point.
But there are also players who no longer yearn for the colorful world outside after coming here.
Because you can get everything in the world at Leeds United.
Tottenham fans completely broke the defense.
Juande Ramos still sat on the coaching bench with an indifferent expression.
Not even a hint of disappointment showed on his face.
Maybe he just didn't want the outside world to see his embarrassing state.
But in the eyes of Tottenham fans, Juande Ramos behaves like an outsider.
Shen Hao clapped and cheered, then turned around and high-fived several assistant coaches one by one to celebrate.
He is sure.
Juande Ramos has no special deployment.
Otherwise, we won’t rush to the start of the second half in a hurry.
This kind of deployment is mostly a temporary arrangement.
Because this means that Tottenham no longer have the patience to create and look for opportunities.
He can also be almost certain that Tottenham reached the final with passion.
Mao Zujin fought all the way over.
There is no clearly targeted technical and tactical deployment and game strategic planning at all.
So it's not surprising that Tottenham performed so well in the league.
Can score goals and concede goals.
Is it because the player's ability is not good enough?
Malbranque is a strong player in the midfield, and there is also Hoddlestone on the bench who Shen Hao has paid attention to. On the defensive line, Ledley King, Dawson, and Woodgate are all unknowns.
Even though it may not be able to stop the expedition of teams at the big5 level.
But it's not like the defensive goal-conceding data is so disastrous that it ranks last in the Premier League.
From the confrontation scenes to the data analysis, Tottenham looks like a team that looks down on defense.
No, it should be said that Juande Ramos looks down on defense.
Whoever defends is a coward.
He seems to have a condescending contempt for the Premier League.
He thought that he could use the technical and tactical abilities of his Spanish coach to complete the dimension reduction attack in the Premier League.
You can completely use your offense to destroy any opponent in front of you.
Now the Premier League has taught him a lesson.
Shen Hao walked back to the coaching bench and sat down.
The game has no suspense.
It’s not just the score difference.
What's more important is that Tottenham failed to recognize the strength gap in this final from beginning to end.
He didn't even face up to Leeds United's strength.
Leeds United fans sang and danced.
Levi in the box was also expressionless.
He looked neither happy nor sad.
Probably because I didn’t have high expectations either.
After all, Leeds United are the Premier League champions for two consecutive years.
In this era, the sky hanging over the heads of English football is pure white for Leeds United!
In the box where the major shareholders of Leeds United were sitting, Zhao Xin had already put his arms around Chen Hao and expressed that he wanted to "celebrate" the championship.
Tang Jinyu and Xiao Ruoan were chatting and laughing. If it weren't for the rules of the English game, they would both want to drink three glasses of wine in a row.
In the past, Tan Youyou, who always looked down at the arena calmly, distanced herself from others and still looked at the arena, her eyes still locked on Shen Hao.
Although you can only see an outline as big as a sesame seed.
But she was able to entertain herself, trying to figure out Shen Hao's mood at this time.
Are you excited, nervous, excited, or should you suppress all positive emotions and stay calm?
It seemed that she was not infected by the fanatical atmosphere in the stands, but in fact she was thinking about that man endlessly in her mind, enjoying a small happiness that outsiders could not discern.
