Chapter 281 The Red Devil in White begins his Northern Expedition!
"Deisler grabbed the opportunity to push and score! This offensive is so exciting!"
"Beletti's assist from the right was crucial, tearing apart Newcastle United's defense. Ronaldo and Robben successively contained Newcastle United's defense, and then Deisler's unmarked kick shot Chance."
"Leeds United's overall performance today was solid. Will their first league win come?"
The morale of the Leeds United generals has been greatly boosted.
In comparison, Newcastle United's generals are in dire straits.
Especially Owen, looking at the Leeds United team celebrating the goal, there was no concealment of envy in his eyes.
Strong players will inevitably have arrogance.
Although it was Owen's own choice to join Newcastle United, after being loaned to Leeds United, Owen became more and more uncomfortable with Newcastle United.
The main reason is actually that the fans have too high expectations for him, and he is a star who can only take off with the help of a strong team.
If the team is not strong, he will only become weaker.
Allardyce was flustered.
Newcastle United boss Ashley frowned as he stood with the fans in the general stands.
He always felt that Owen was not as strong as expected after he came back.
Even with the team's poor record, Irving's performance has become increasingly sluggish.
The 600 million pounds given to Leeds United half a year ago cannot be said to have been wasted, but it always made him feel a bit cheated.
Newcastle United continued to strengthen their offensive after the kick-off.
Since Allardyce's starting lineup is very aggressive, he will not change his attitude easily because he loses the ball.
But compared to them, they are still exploring and trying ways and means to tear apart Leeds United's defense.
Leeds United became more and more courageous as they fought.
Wave after wave of wing attacks.
Just after 30 minutes of the game, when Candela rushed to the frontcourt to receive Ze Roberto's pass, he and Deisler hit the wall continuously during the dribbling process.
Milner and Gremi pressed forward one after another, but both of them hit the wall and cooperated to get rid of it.
The rapid attack from the left side hit the wall and the Newcastle United defense was broken like paper.
Leeds United fans were even more fascinated by it.
The method is simple, but the effect is wonderful.
Shen Hao couldn't help but smile.
After several games of actual combat accumulation, Deisler's adaptation to the left winger position has obviously progressed to the point where he is beginning to show his power.
When Candela cut in from the outside into the penalty area, center back Rojenal had to rush to block his crossing line.
At this time Candela passed the ball back to the center.
Deisler, who was cutting in from behind, only took one step towards the ball, which restrained Kasapa. Before the latter could get in front of Deisler, he saw Deisler calmly slanting the ball to the opponent's side.
Kasapa turned and looked.
What catches the eye is that Ronaldo has already had a chance to shoot with his diagonal movement.
Steve Taylor moved quickly to block and press Ronaldo. At this time, he was passive and the hope of successful defensive interference was very slim.
Ronaldo originally planned to shoot directly, but goalkeeper Harper abandoned the goal and blocked his shooting route.
So he faked a shot and dunked for real. Steve Taylor looked stunned as he passed by him, and Ronaldo calmly passed the ball across the right side.
Everyone's eyes turned.
But when Robben cuts inside, not only is there a football rolling in front of him, but the direction of the goal is almost unobstructed!
Robben pushed the ball into the goal.
Simple, easy and enjoyable!
After scoring the goal, Robben had a smile on his face and took the initiative to turn around and give Ronaldo a high-five.
"Wow! Robben scored! It's a replica of the previous goal!"
"That's right, our last goal was a blast from the right to break through Newcastle United's defense, and this goal was a blast from the left. Whether it was Deisler or Robben's goal, it seemed easy, but this The teamwork and individual abilities of the players cannot be easily created even by powerful teams."
"Although Ronaldo didn't score, he contributed a lot to both goals. He's back in form and just missed scoring!"
Newcastle United fans were stunned.
Allardyce also felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.
Leeds United's offense was like peeling off the cocoon very quickly, completely disintegrating Newcastle United's defense!
Is this the same Leeds United that has struggled to win a single victory in the first four games of the league?
Even newly promoted Sunderland can take points from Leeds United.
Why was it so difficult when you got to Newcastle United?
Shen Hao sat on the coaching bench with a faint smile.
Feeling better!
The Leeds United coaching staff were both excited and shocked by the team's performance on the field.
In fact, in the process of system transformation.
No one knows what the final shape will look like.
But Leeds United’s two similar goals were very convincing.
Once is a coincidence, but twice in a short period of time is still a coincidence?
At this moment, even they were belatedly aware of the core of Shen Hao's focus on re-building his skills and tactics this season.
Wings are king!
Based on the midfield, creativity is reduced due to changes in player characteristics.
After Rui Costa withdraws from the main lineup, Modric can bring more stable midfield control and offensive and defensive connection.
But the ability to deliver threatening balls has declined.
Jamie Redknapp and Ze Roberto, or partnering with Davis, their coverage and technical abilities can further strengthen the control and organizational stability of the midfield.
The full-back's assist ability has been significantly improved compared to the past two years.
This comes from the fact that they have Belletti and Van Bronckhorst, as well as the growth of Baynes.
The offensive aggressiveness of the midfield has decreased, and the full-backs have improved.
On the striker, Deisler plays a supporting role, while Ronaldo and Robben are the main scoring points.
This series of transformations will inevitably bring about the pain of the transformation process.
Because the team needs to integrate skills and tactics, the tacit understanding needs to be re-strengthened, and the players need to adapt to the new position.
But after the labor pain period passed, their threat began to gradually increase!
Simeone was the most shocked.
He has always believed that Leeds United's pragmatic style of play is the best way to make a smooth transition.
However, Shen Hao was able to create new techniques and tactics at the expense of his record. After reloading in white, he burst out with amazing fighting power at St. James Park today!
Newcastle United players were in panic.
Especially the subsequent impact of Leeds United's full-backs made them exhausted in defense.
The defensive line shrinks passively.
Deisler and Robben cut inside and shot in front of the penalty area, which frightened them even more.
before halftime.
When Robben reached the front and right area of the penalty area again and received a pass from Jamie Redknapp, he wanted to kick the goal.
But the back-and-forth attack between Bart and Steve Taylor caused him to give up shooting again and instead passed the ball across the top of the penalty area.
Modric came up and sent a direct pass like a dragonfly.
Ronaldo made a stop and took a cross step in response, and took a shot, forcing Kasapa to focus on blocking.
Ronaldo spiked the ball at his feet and broke through. After passing by Kasapa, he stopped moving forward.
Swinging his right leg, it seemed that he was going to shoot the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Harper moved ahead of time, but unexpectedly, Ronaldo's ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal!
Harper didn't even make a save in the end.
I can only look at the ball and sigh!
Cunning!
"Ronaldo! Scored consecutive goals!"
"The aliens are back! Our strongest firepower has officially been revived!"
"3:0! This first half was really exciting."
Leeds United attacked away from home, but produced a devastating and shocking effect.
Newcastle United fans are disheartened.
Allardyce's face was expressionless and his mood had sunk to the bottom.
When they needed points the most, they encountered Leeds United, who made a strong recovery and declared the return of the king.
What a fate!
Leeds United fans were in a frenzy.
Before the game, I was worried about whether the team would face the nightmare of five rounds without a win.
Unexpectedly, the worry was completely unnecessary.
Halftime is over.
Leeds United 3:0 Newcastle United.
At St. James' Park, Shen Hao did not return to the dressing room.
He played football with the substitutes on the pitch to stretch his legs.
Newcastle United fans looked at Shen Hao and then at owner Ashley standing in the stands, and they suddenly felt a little disgusted.
Apart from anything else, as the owner of Leeds United, Shen Hao's personal image and the energy he displays cannot be said to be sunshine, but are definitely as hot as the sun!
Sometimes the light stings others.
Sometimes it's full of longing.
Expect to bask in his radiance.
Some actions that Fleet Street described as deviant in the past now seem to have become Shen Hao's exclusive signature.
For example, when the game situation was excellent, Shen Hao did not enter the locker room during halftime.
In the past, it was considered that he lacked the sense of crisis and vigilance to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Now it is considered to be a reflection of his flexible control of the team and not putting too much pressure on the team.
There is a degree of relaxation and freedom of movement.
At the same time, it also showed strong self-confidence and trust in the team.
Therefore, what a person is like depends on his or her level of achievement and ability.
Two Premier League championships, one Europa League championship, and one Champions League championship can definitely support Shen Hao's class and image as a top coach.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Newcastle United's adjustments were suppressed by Leeds United's offense before they could see any effect.
Allardyce's 343 system has certain flaws.
This shortcoming can only be made up for by player ability.
If there are no world-class wing players and central defenders, it is very common for the 343 system to be overwhelmed by the 433 system.
Therefore, it is difficult for the 343 system to become mainstream.
But the Dutch coach, the hometown of Total Attack and Total Defence.
Compared with the Italian coach, he will make more fuss about the defensive system.
They like to work on the offensive end.
Like today, when Newcastle United's situation was unstable, the wing players retreated deeply in defense.
It looks like it has become a 523 formation.
It is very intuitive that the formation is out of touch.
The threat of offensive is even more out of the question.
After 55 minutes of the game, Shen Hao made substitutions.
Enter Van Bronckhorst and Kelly.
Two starting full-backs were replaced.
This kind of substitution is also extremely rare in the eyes of the outside world.
After the substitution, Leeds United's offensive intensity was weakened.
After all, Kelly's assist ability can be ignored.
Leeds United also changed their stance, strengthening the midfield and reducing pressure.
Deisler also took the initiative to retreat.
Leeds United seems to have changed their formation 442.
Ronaldo and Robben are left on the front line.
Newcastle United fought back.
Leeds United gradually has a more ideal offensive space in the frontcourt.
The game is approaching 75 minutes.
Robben faced the Newcastle United backline while dribbling from the right side of the frontcourt.
When dribbling inside and encountering Steve Taylor, Robben slowed down the ball and then suddenly spiked the ball and went outside to break through, making Steve Taylor completely unable to intercept.
Just like after the wooden stake was passed by Robben, Robben dribbled forward to the right flank of the penalty area and then passed the ball.
Ronaldo outflanked the mid-range ball and volleyed directly in the air!
Harper's face was wide open, and he subconsciously opened his arms to block it, but got nothing.
Leeds United fans cheered heartily.
Ronaldo turned and ran to celebrate.
Leeds United 4:0 Newcastle United.
Shen Hao clapped his hands and applauded.
It's definitely getting better!
Newcastle United fans are extremely unbalanced.
Why!
Teams like Sunderland and Middlesbrough can score points against Leeds United.
Why is Leeds United so strong when they play at home?
They even suspected that if Leeds United did not take the initiative to let go of the previous four Premier League opponents, it would be playing tricks on them!
Allardyce was completely exhausted.
Can't beat it!
Can't beat it at all!
No matter how hard he tried, Newcastle United could not resist Leeds United's frightening fighting power.
Perhaps there is only one way out: set up a bus!
Survive through cracks!
The game completely lost its suspense.
Shen Hao also used up the last substitution, replacing Jamie Redknapp with Davis.
Veteran for veteran.
How could it not be fragrant?
Leeds United ended smoothly.
Newcastle United's successive substitutions are all aimed at strengthening defense.
Allardyce was disheartened.
It can also be seen that the team is disconnected from the front and backcourt, the forwards do not get opportunities, and the offense cannot create a threat.
Then the striker has no role.
Substitutions are made to avoid a greater massacre and to maintain the team's psychological defense that has become extremely fragile.
For the rest of the game, Leeds United still created some offensive threats, but failed to convert them into goals.
The final whistle blows.
Leeds United defeated Newcastle United 4-0 away from home.
The cheers of the fans in white were filled with excitement.
Finally got the first league win of the new season.
It's not easy!
When Shen Hao was interviewed after the game, the questions he faced were obviously much milder.
It was as if Leeds United's previous four-game winless streak had never happened before.
The media has always been like this, changing its attitude faster than the weather.
In the same round of the league, Manchester United defeated Sunderland at home and won two consecutive games.
Arsenal win at home.
Liverpool slaughtered Derby County at home.
Among the big5, only Chelsea lost to Aston Villa away from home.
Leeds United join Manchester United as they move from the bottom of the table to the top.
The "Northern Expedition" journey of the Red Devil and the White Clothes has officially begun!
After this round.
FIFA match day is coming in September.
After winning his first league victory, Shen Hao did not celebrate with his friends.
Instead, I got on a plane to Portugal.
This made Bai Muxin, who had returned from China, feel disappointed.
In her third year of studying abroad, her studies became more numerous. She suppressed the urge to go to Portimão. She could only wait for Shen Hao to return from Portimão, and then look for opportunities to surprise him!
