Chapter 227 The dark grass in the forest is frightened by the wind, and the general draws his bow at
Leeds United lands in Madrid.
Shen Hao has visited Madrid as a tourist, but he has not visited the Santiago Bernabeu, the temple of football here.
He looks forward to one day leading his team here as a head coach.
A wish I had five or six years ago has become a reality today.
In the evening of the match day, Leeds United took a bus to the magnificent Bernabeu Stadium.
World-class golf courses are often visually stunning.
When you are there, it is no wonder why this is the dream stage for most players.
Located in Madrid, a city with beautiful scenery and blooming flowers, the Bernabeu has been in the financial district with a lot of land since its birth. The support from the powerful class for hundreds of years seems to have nourished a high-ranking aristocracy.
The unique background has created a class gap that will be difficult for most clubs to overcome for hundreds of years.
When the game was about to start, Shen Hao walked into the stadium first.
The fans in Madrid looked at the young Chinese coach with incredible expressions.
A close-up shot of him standing by the side was shown on the big screen, showing his handsomeness, erectness and calmness in the sight of all viewers.
Real Madrid fans can't imagine how such a young coach from a football desert conquered English football step by step.
Now he has made no secret of his ambition to replace Real Madrid.
Real Madrid used half a century to win 9 Champions League trophies.
No matter how good Leeds United is, it will probably take at least half a century to catch up with them.
And another half century?
As the king of the Champions League, how many times will Real Madrid win the championship?
20?Or 30?
Some gaps are destined to never be bridged in the eyes of the world.
Everyone just thought that Shen Hao was motivating the team and shaping the image of Leeds United.
It's okay to laugh in private, but no one will publicly disparage a progressive club.
The Uncrowned King can confuse right and wrong, but he cannot distort the only correct values in the green world.
That is to win!
A team that wants to win always deserves respect.
Real Madrid coach Capello entered the field, and Shen Hao turned to look at him.
Capello is a well-known top coach in European football.
However, he encountered a crisis of confidence when he entered Real Madrid for the second time.
The main reason is that as an Italian coach, he has an iron fist and conservative coaching style. He has conflicts with players within the team and makes fans dissatisfied with the team's performance outside the team.
Real Madrid fans have higher requirements for the team than fans of ordinary teams.
Generally speaking, fans of a team have only one requirement for the team: to win.
Real Madrid fans' demands for the team are to win beautifully on this basis!
They want to enjoy the most gorgeous, dreamy and wonderful football in this football world!
Therefore, Capello's coaching style dissatisfied many Real Madrid fans.
Just like in 97, he led Real Madrid to win the league championship against Barcelona led by superstar Ronaldo. After winning the championship, Capello chose to leave in frustration.
Win the championship and resign.
Real Madrid fans are too high maintenance.
Even if you win, you still get scolded.
In the world of football, I am afraid this is the only one with no other semicolon.
It's just that it's hard to say whether Real Madrid can replicate that of 97.
At least the competitive situation within the league is not optimistic.
Capello also turned his head and glanced at Shen Hao, then looked back and looked away.
Surprise, surprise.
This is the first thing most coaches see when they see Shen Hao.
I don’t have any other thoughts.
As for whether he feels contempt from the bottom of his heart, at least his body and facial expressions cannot show it.
The starting players of both teams made their debut.
"Dear fans in white, late at night in China, let's meet in the live broadcast room to cheer for white! I am glasses, and I would like to say hello to all fans in white!"
"I'm Xiaochuang, and I say hello to all the fans in white!"
"The grass in the forest is frightened by the wind, and the general draws his bow at night! Santiago Bernabeu, here comes the white shirt! After the results of the knockout draw came out, we thought about it day and night, and finally we came to the Bernabeu, and we declared war on Real Madrid!"
"The bow should be used as a draw, and the arrow should be used as a long one! Leeds United attacks strongly today to challenge Real Madrid, the king of the Champions League! In the past two years, when Leeds United became more popular in China and gained more and more new fans, Real Madrid fans once laughed at us for not being worthy of being called the Whites. They are the only ones who represent the victory of the Whites on the pitch. I dare not say anything about this. When it comes to the historical background, the size of the club, and the altitude, Real Madrid can indeed do it. Condescending to Leeds United.
However, would princes, generals and ministers rather be kind? !
From the moment Green Turf takes over Leeds United, when our big brother arrives in Leeds, the history of Leeds United, the history of English football, and the history of European football will be written by Leeds United from that moment on! "
"Brother Hao is true to his word. No matter how many years it takes us, our goal will not waver. We point our swords at the Champions League and vow to be the king!
In the past half century, Real Madrid has been the king of the Champions League. In the next half century, we will use our lives to witness who will dominate the green world! "
"Although the current Real Madrid is still full of superstars, it is much inferior to that of the past few years. Just looking at the lineup, we in white will not be afraid at all."
"So let's take a look at Real Madrid's starting lineup today.
Capello arranged a 433 formation.
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.
Defenders: Miguel Torres, Helguera, Cannavaro, Roberto Carlos.
Midfielder: Beckham, Guti, Gago.
Forwards: Higuain, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul.
Leeds United started 433.
Goalkeeper: Toldo.
Defenders: Kelly, Kompany, Stam, Candela.
Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Rui Costa, Roy Keane.
Forwards: Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ribery.
Just looking at the lineup, who has more stars?With a superstar lineup led by two golden ball players, Leeds United is undoubtedly more dazzling than Real Madrid's lineup! "
Real Madrid fans looked at Ronaldo, whom they almost didn't dare to recognize, with complicated eyes.
When he left the team, the fat man who weighed nearly 200 kilograms now looks like he has lost at least 30 kilograms!
what happened?
What the hell happened to him?
People will definitely look more energetic when they lose weight than when they are fat.
At this time, Ronaldo looks like a 30-year-old.
Real Madrid fans couldn't help but look towards the president's box.
Calderon was on pins and needles in the box.
He never thought that Ronaldo, whom he wanted to clean up and whom Capello didn't like, would appear at the Bernabeu Stadium again in this way!
It was hard for him not to be afraid.
If Ronaldo performs well, it will directly declare that he made a serious mistake in his summer transfer operation.
But who could have expected such a thing?
Will Ronaldo become as new as he is now if he stays in Real Madrid?
Everyone knows that's impossible.
The magic of Leeds United has become famous and famous.
But everyone's mentality is that they would rather hope that Ronaldo dies in Madrid than return to the Bernabeu with a new look as an enemy!
Even Capello had an ominous feeling when he looked at Ronaldo.
For a player of this superstar level, you don't need to look at too many things. Just looking at his physical condition is enough to know where his strength is.
Obviously, even if Ronaldo is no longer at his peak, he is definitely better than the top stars.
The two teams opened up, the referee blew his whistle, and the battle began.
Real Madrid and Leeds United fans were cheering for their respective teams, and the cheers were loud and loud.
Real Madrid took the lead in attacking.
Beckham made a long pass from the backcourt, and the football flew forward, accurately finding Raul who cut in from the left.
Raul was pressed by Jamie Redknapp as soon as he stopped the ball. After controlling the ball, he was quickly flanked by Kelly and Kompany to steal the ball.
Leeds United are naturally very cautious when they come to play as a guest.
Rui Costa also started the offensive with long passes from behind the center circle.
Let the team run first and gradually improve the status.
After receiving the ball from the left side of the frontcourt, Ribery dribbled inside.
Miguel Torres was slow to adduct, and Ribery controlled the ball in front of Helguera and changed direction, trying to find an angle to send a through ball.
Unexpectedly, Beckham rushed from behind and stretched his legs to destroy the ball.
The conflict between Beckham and Capello has long been public.
But when the team has no one available, Capello still has to use Beckham.
Beckham regained his position and opportunity with his dedicated attitude and outstanding performance on the court.
Real Madrid once again launched an offensive. Robert Carlos dribbled from the left and advanced to the frontcourt. Jamie Redknapp helped defend the wing. Carlos and Raul hit the wall and cooperated before continuing to move forward.
In front of Kelly's defense zone, Carlos delivered a cross.
Ruud van Nistelrooy ran in the penalty area to grab the point. Kompany took off during the retreat without blowing his head, and successfully cleared the ball with his header.
The pace of the game is not particularly fast as Leeds have not yet picked up the pace.
Roy Keane controlled the ball outside the penalty area, Guti stepped forward to counterattack, and Roy Keane split the ball.
Candela ran from the left to receive the ball and then dribbled to advance the attack.
Rui Costa took the initiative to respond in the middle circle, and when he touched the ball, he kicked the ball forward with the instep of his outside foot.
Ronaldo took the initiative to retreat when Gago was on defense.
After stopping the ball, he knocked the ball continuously with his feet and changed direction to complete the turn. At the same time, Gago's press failed.
The flexible pace and unpredictable direction breakthrough shocked Real Madrid fans.
They haven't seen Ronaldo's agile and quick control of the ball for a long time.
But it's the norm at Leeds United.
Beckham immediately intercepted the ball.
Ronaldo dribbled forward and changed direction to dodge Beckham's press. Cannavaro did not defend.
Italian defense does not pay attention to attacking, but pays more attention to blocking.
In the right position, Mr. Cannavaro lowered his center of gravity and was ready to intercept with his backhand.
Ronaldo, however, stepped on his bicycle continuously in front of him and then suddenly sent a through ball.
After the football rolled past Cannavaro, Cannavaro realized it later. Rivaldo cut in and passed him, and shot with his left foot without stopping the ball!
The football flying towards the far corner of the goal was saved by Casillas' ultimate save!
Wonderful!
Real Madrid fans' hearts were in their throats, and the city gate was almost lost!
"Leeds United, which slaughtered Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the group stage, should not be underestimated!"
"Not only Ronaldo, but also Rivaldo has shown good competitive form. He is almost 35, right?"
"What magic does Leeds United have that can fully revive the veteran players?"
Real Madrid escaped.
Leeds United retreated, and Shen Hao remained calm on the sideline, not showing any disappointment because Rivaldo's high-quality shot was blocked.
He surveys the performance of Real Madrid's defence.
In fact, some of it surprised him.
Capello did not play Emerson, a defensive midfielder.
No matter how you look at the midfield combination of Guti, Beckham and Gago, you feel that the defensive performance is not good.
Perhaps it is because Emerson's performance has not met expectations since joining Real Madrid.
It may also be that Capello expects the team's offense to be more dynamic.
Whatever the reason.
Shen Hao felt more confident about the competition.
As far as Real Madrid's defense is concerned, Leeds United are fully confident to compete directly with their opponents!
Real Madrid's offensive organization is clearly in trouble.
Organized in the middle, Guti's forward movement is not ideal.
Therefore, Real Madrid's offensive strategy can only rely on Robert Carlos on the left and Beckham in the defensive midfielder.
One on the left and one on the right, which is considered symmetrical.
It's just that after the offensive develops to attack dangerous areas, it seems to lack changes.
During the winter break, Real Madrid introduced three young players from South America.
Forward Higuain, midfielder Gago, full-back Marcelo.
Argentine forward Higuain has good skills and strong overall strength.
This forward with a potential of 183 made Shen Hao lament that Real Madrid is still very discerning in buying people.
Gago's potential has also reached 175. Although he is not among the top midfielders, he can still stand in the first line when he grows up.
That Marcelo is even more amazing.
Has 186 potential among full backs.
It’s a pity that the Premier League’s labor certification system blocks South American players who do not have EU passports.
Otherwise, Shen Hao would definitely grab it.
Like Higuain plug and play, the effect is also good.
But facing Leeds United today and playing in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, he obviously still needs to practice and accumulate experience.
Ability is one thing, but whether you have the experience to use your ability rationally is another.
When Higuain has space in the frontcourt, he dribbles and breaks through in an attempt to go straight to Huanglong. This is not selfish, because it is not that he failed to pass the ball when he had the opportunity.
But it seems too reckless.
Some opportunities should be passed back, adjusted, transferred or reorganized, but he just wants to directly create shooting opportunities.
They repeatedly hit the wall under the blocking pressure of Roy Keane and Candela.
After suffering a physical confrontation from Roy Keane, he immediately yelled and accused Roy Keane. When Roy Keane reprimanded him for a few words, he responded without any sign of weakness.
He has a good temper and is full of energy.
Shen Hao appreciates such players, at least they are much better than "quiet".
Just don't let emotions control your reason and affect your state and performance.
After 15 minutes of the game, Shen Hao gestured to the generals on the court.
almost.
Leeds United adapted to the rhythm of the away game and got into shape at the same time.
The testing phase is over.
The blade is unsheathed and the hunting begins!
