Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 327 Everything is possible!

Leeds United visit Portsmouth.

Redknapp has led Portsmouth to great results this season.

Continuing the good momentum from last season.

Currently ranked 9th in the league.

Even though he longed for the Three Lions coaching position in the first half of the season, he ultimately failed to get his wish.

But now, with the good results he has led Portsmouth, he can at least be said to be among the best among local coaches.

There are countless clubs bigger than Portsmouth in the Premier League.

If a non-big5 team changes coaches, Redknapp will definitely be the popular choice.

Not only are he familiar with Shen Hao, but he has also established a good relationship with him, but Redknapp will not show mercy on the court.

Portsmouth played a substitute rotation at home against Leeds United, and they were very conservative and pragmatic in their style of play.

Redknapp doesn't care if he can beat Leeds United.

But he is well aware that the odds of an upset victory over Leeds United are not high.

The more you want to win, the more likely you are to die miserably.

So he could only pretend that it would not be easy for Leeds United to win, and even if they could win, they would never win by a big margin.

Leeds United's substitute rotation is better at preventing counterattacks.

At least this season they use more defensive counterattacks.

Before the game, Shen Hao was mentally prepared that Portsmouth might have a bus at home.

It's just that there will be a little bit of luck.

What if Redknapp sees Leeds United changing his mind about slaying the dragon?

But old Redknapp was very calm and sat on the coaching bench with a Buddhist posture.

If Portsmouth plays defensive counterattack, it is impossible for Leeds United to also defend against counterattack.

In that case, what becomes of the game?

Leeds United showed a decent offensive and defensive balance, with the two full-backs delivering shells to the forwards, making it difficult to create great opportunities.

Seeking opportunities with steady output requires both patience and a good grasp of the offensive and defensive rhythm.

There is no comparison between Rakitic and Modric at this point.

I can't say that Rakitic is bad, I can only say that Modric seems to be born to do this and is outstanding.

The uneventful scene took a twist before the end of the first half.

Portsmouth's counterattack is simple and crude, and most of the time they can't even create a shot.

But this time their counterattack threatened in the frontcourt.

Jermaine Defoe's flexible and quick movement got rid of Stam, cut into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area and received a pass from his teammate. After stopping the ball, he shot on the spot and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Portsmouth 1:0 Leeds United.

Shen Hao gritted his teeth slightly on the sidelines.

Maybe some fans will feel that Leeds United's rotation will put the league competition into crisis.

But between the Champions League and the league, it is obvious that the benefits of rushing to the Champions League will be greater.

Whether it is honor or financial level.

Shen Hao will not struggle or regret the rotation.

It just negated the team's performance.

Leeds United's substitute rotation does not have the strength to deal patiently with opponents like Portsmouth.

Playing away from home, the opponent has also been ranked in the middle of the Premier League for two consecutive years.

When the first half of the game came to an end, Shen Hao entered the players' tunnel.

Make technical and tactical adjustments in the locker room.

The good thing is that there are many veterans and their mentality is stable.

If it is a young team, in the sprint stage of the season and the pressure to compete for the championship is overwhelming, it is likely that it will not be able to withstand the impact of the storm.

In the second half, the two teams returned to the field and changed sides to fight again.

Portsmouth certainly didn't need to make significant adjustments.

Leeds United directly accelerated and worked hard.

We can't count on the right wing today.

Candela and Baines on the left became the main means of attack.

After Candela recovered from injury, his condition was naturally affected.

Of course Portsmouth are extremely wary of his impact.

This greatly reduces Candela's assist threat after rushing into the frontcourt.

After repeated attempts, Candela himself knew that it was impossible for the Overlord to forcefully take the bow.

So after communicating with Bynes, the two immediately switched roles.

Just after the 70th minute of the game, Candela was restrained from the left side of the frontcourt, and Baines rushed forward. The two played a simple but efficient penetrating pass and cut cooperation.

After Baynes cut into the penalty area, the cross ball was sent directly to the center of the goal.

Lopez scored with an outflank shot.

Leeds United finally equalized the score!

Redknapp Sr. was unmoved.

The mood is calm.

Facing Leeds United may be the least stressful for Portsmouth.

As long as there is no bloodbath, any result is acceptable.

Leeds United's morale is boosted.

Continuing to attack the left, Portsmouth naturally strengthened the local defense on the right.

The defensive system's center of gravity is obviously skewed.

And 10 minutes later, Portsmouth's counterattack once again posed a fatal threat as Leeds United's formation continued to press forward.

It's Jermaine Defoe again!

When his teammates passed the long ball, he countered the offside attack. It seemed simple, but it was not easy to successfully connect.

Defoe went to the meeting alone, facing Blazer and fired into the far corner of the goal to score another victory!

Portsmouth fans went crazy.

Maybe they can really slay the dragon today!

Shen Hao frowned slightly, the situation was a bit tricky.

But he showed no signs of panic.

He had experienced strong winds and waves for a long time, so this scene couldn't be said to be familiar, but it didn't make him confused.

While Portsmouth players and fans were celebrating, Leeds United had already begun to launch a fierce counterattack.

Shen Hao repeatedly gestured to the players and shouted to remind them to make adjustments.

Old Redknapp also came to the sidelines.

Having once again seen hope of beating Leeds United, he will certainly try to take advantage of the opportunity.

He also gestured to the team, but to strengthen defense.

Leeds United's onslaught after kick-off seemed tit for tat.

Baines and Candela limited Portsmouth's strength on the left wing.

Continuous passes were successfully cleared by veteran Campbell.

Even though Portsmouth paid the maximum salary in the Premier League for Campbell, at least Campbell brought visible improvement and defensive stability to Portsmouth.

Once Portsmouth's quick counterattack poses a threat, Leeds United's defense will foul nearby to stifle the counterattack threat.

In the 88th minute of the game, Seth Johnson fouled while returning to defense and received a second yellow card.

Two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off!

Portsmouth fans began to celebrate the victory in advance.

Being able to defeat the defending Premier League champions is undoubtedly their highlight moment of the season.

Although Leeds United played one less player, their main offensive posture remained unchanged.

When the game entered stoppage time, Candela quickly shifted the offensive after forming a containment on the left side of the frontcourt. Rakitic sent a precise pass in series in the middle.

Rui Costa, who came on as a substitute, stopped the ball near the right wing area and sent a coquettish half-high curve ball.

No Portsmouth player could clear the ball, and the football that penetrated the defense was volleyed into the upper right corner by Lopez in front of the small penalty area!

Lopez scored twice today!

The cheers from the Leeds United fans were deafening.

Fighting with one less player can even the score.

The tenacity of the white shirt shocked Portsmouth fans and players!

Old Redknapp sighed helplessly.

The tenacity of a strong team is often hard to fathom.

Despite their numerical advantage, Portsmouth did not dare to launch a violent attack easily.

They even took the initiative to delay time and were content to draw with Leeds United at home.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Portsmouth fans were a little disappointed, but still satisfied with the result.

Especially thinking about Leeds United's lead being reduced.

The final stage of the Premier League title race is bound to be even more exciting.

Portsmouth fans want to announce to the world: Portsmouth has the final say whether the Premier League title is in chaos or not!

Shen Hao and old Redknapp shook hands and exchanged pleasantries after the game.

He didn't seem to have a drastic change of mood over a draw.

Even though Fleet Street reporters were already gloating, Shen Hao praised the team's performance in the second half when facing the camera after the game.

They were trailing in the first half and Leeds United's performance was quite satisfactory.

In the second half, they were able to come back from behind, which deserves praise.

at the same time.

Manchester United beat Aston Villa at home.

After the game, Ferguson learned that Leeds United had dropped points away from home.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Who is making the mistake now?

...

Chelsea not only won this round, but Grant also rotated the lineup.

In this way, there are still 6 rounds left in the Premier League and it is time to enter the sprint stage.

Leeds United are two points ahead of Manchester United and five points ahead of Chelsea.

The championship situation has changed dramatically!

Even Chelsea fans thought they would have a chance!

Because in the last six rounds of the league, Leeds United not only has to have direct dialogue with Chelsea, but also has to stage a Rose Derby with Manchester United in the final game!

As long as Chelsea can defeat Leeds United at Stamford Bridge, they might end up competing with Manchester United for the title!

...

After the team's restorative training, Shen Hao gave the team a day off.

When training started as usual on Tuesday, Ronaldo appeared at the Thorpe Arch training base.

Van Bronckhorst, Helguera, Belletti, Mackay and other new players this season were all dumbfounded!

Seeing Ronaldo in full swing, everyone seemed to have seen a ghost.

"Don't act like you've never seen the world before. What's all the fuss about?"

Jamie Redknapp teased the crowd's reaction without hesitation.

Van Bronckhorst said in shock: "Is it a misdiagnosis? No, he definitely has a ruptured Achilles tendon, otherwise why would he need surgery?"

Helguera also frowned and said in disbelief: "If this was for Chelsea, then why did he come to the training ground today? He didn't show up until the game. Chelsea would probably be unprepared for the surprise."

Ma Kai had the most exaggerated reaction, pointing at Ronaldo and saying: "He ruptured his Achilles tendon less than 10 days ago, and he can run away today? Are you kidding me? Isn't this worth making a fuss about?"

In fact, Ma Kai felt that he should start against Chelsea, but looking at it now... there is no chance.

Jamie Redknapp hesitated to speak.

I wanted to say, "If your Achilles tendon is ruptured, it will heal in 10 days."

But that is simply courting death.

In order to avoid being beaten by his teammates, he chose to remain silent.

Don't waste your time with a group of people who have never seen the world.

Ronaldo didn't pay special attention to Shen Hao's reaction this time.

When some old teammates are not surprised, you won't get any useful clues by looking at Shen Hao's reaction.

Not to mention Shen Hao, the Leeds United coaching staff has long been used to it.

Leeds United train as normal.

Fleet Street exploded!

"Ronaldo makes a miraculous recovery! Leeds United have staged another medical miracle!"

"Is Ronaldo faking an injury?"

"If even the surgery was staged, this smoke bomb would be the best!"

Due to privacy reasons, the outside world cannot confirm whether Ronaldo actually underwent surgery.

Even if he entered the operating room, the outside world could not verify what he did inside.

In other words, even if someone can confirm it, it cannot be made public.

At the press conference before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the focus of the European media was on Ronaldo.

Regarding the competition, Shen Hao has no prospects.

Because everyone is more curious about Ronaldo's return from injury.

"Is he really hurt?"

"injured."

"The specific injury is a ruptured Achilles tendon?"

"That's what the medical diagnosis says."

“Having Achilles tendon repair surgery?”

"Yes."

"It has been 9 days since the operation. Has he recovered?"

"At least nothing unusual happened during today's training."

"Do you think it only takes 9 days for a player to fully recover after an Achilles tendon rupture?"

"I feel like anything is possible."

European media:? ? ?

Are you here to read advertising slogans for Adidas?

How much does Adidas pay you?

Nike doubles up!

...

Fleet Street is used to it anyway, even if the reports use a lot of exaggeration and exclamation to construct sentences.

But in fact, they have no fluctuations in their hearts.

At the same time, they also realized that Leeds United, which frequently performs medical miracles, has a unique and attractive advantage in this regard!

Professional players have many enemies.

The largest is nothing more than three.

Self, time, injuries.

Overcoming one's own inertia, overcoming one's own shortcomings, and breaking through one's own limits is the only way for professional players. Players who rely solely on talent will neither go far nor last long.

No one can resist the ruthlessness of time.

But before the natural laws of time hit, injuries may ruin all the players' efforts.

What if Leeds wasn't performing a medical miracle, but a standing capacity.

Then this is horrible.

First of all, the thickness of Leeds United's lineup is not what the outside world sees. It is far stronger and has a higher fault tolerance than conventional wisdom.

At the same time, when other stars realized that Leeds United has the ability to ensure the health of players for a long time, even if they suffer serious injuries, they can recover quickly with almost no sequelae.

So isn't this attractive to stars?

...

Barcelona.

Ronaldinho, who called Ronaldo a week ago, was at home watching reports about Leeds United in the European media.

Ronaldo has miraculously recovered and is about to compete in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Ronaldinho thought about the phone call he made to Big Brother a week ago to express condolences and joked that the two of them had the same problem.

Because he is also recovering from his injuries!

But his injury was not as severe as Ronald's, but he still had to lie in bed until the end of the season.

Ronaldo told him personally that his right Achilles tendon was ruptured!

But now I can regain my health.

Ronaldinho couldn't sit still.

The days of recuperation are naturally painful.

I didn’t have to play the game, so I couldn’t go out and have fun.

He spent the evening visiting a Catalan who by all accounts knew Leeds well.

Guardiola, who now leads the Barcelona B team to be invincible in the lower leagues!
