Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United have won nine games in a row.

Chelsea's eighth consecutive victory.

The league only played 9 rounds.

It was as if the two teams used their actions to tell all Premier League teams that this was the level and intensity of the Premier League championship.

With a busy schedule, Shen Hao has no time to be distracted.

Concentrate on your work.

Leeds United will face the third round of the League Cup in midweek.

Sitting at home to face the challenge from Watford.

He made massive rotations.

Mendieta leads the lineup as a starter.

Watford were educated by Leeds United in the English Championship, so they may know Leeds United's strength better than Premier League teams.

Come to Elland Road, keep a low profile and defend with all your strength.

Even though Mendieta still performed well, Ribery was not allowed to start today, and Michael Gray only played a supporting role in the frontcourt.

Batistuta was trapped in a tight siege and found it difficult to seize the opportunity.

Although the scene is a deadlock.

But Leeds United suppressed their opponents and surrounded them, but there was no scene of indiscriminate bombing.

Overall it is relatively safe.

Shen Hao did not return to the locker room during the intermission.

Regarding the old God of War, Shen Hao had nothing to remind him.

The content of the competition is actually very simple.

Watford is struggling to survive, and Leeds United are on the verge of defeat.

Or be successfully attacked by the opponent.

Or Leeds United scored long-term.

Shen Hao was pacing around the field, and some fans were shouting his name, asking him to show off his moves.

"Oh, you think of me as an actor in the halftime show?"

Shen Hao couldn't laugh or cry.

But at this time, he felt that it was to liven up the atmosphere on the court.

Leeds United should put on a show at half-time.

Like basketball or football games, there are cheerleading performances.

Shen Hao's first reaction was this.

Just like football and alcohol are inseparable, they should also be closely integrated with beautiful women.

Otherwise, how can the wives of Premier League stars be so dazzling on the entertainment pages?

Shen Hao walked into the players' tunnel and saw each other in a lounge where he and Chen Hao usually smoked.

He and Chris Jones didn't know what they were talking about, and the smiles on their faces were a little lewd.

If they don't play away games in the middle of the week, they are really free and have time to have fun.

If there is an away game, Chris Jones will take over from Chen Hao as the driver, or the two will take turns, help the team with their luggage, and take care of all aspects of the team.

Although the work was all errand work, there was never anything wrong.

"Brother Hao, are you addicted? Light one."

When Chen Hao saw Shen Hao arriving, he took out a cigarette and lit it, which he did very easily.

Shen Hao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I think we should have a halftime show on match days."

Chen Hao and Chris Jones looked at each other, both of them a little surprised.

Chen Hao asked: "What kind of halftime show? Is it like the American Football Super Bowl? Is it a classic like Michael Jackson's?"

Shen Hao laughed and said: "How can we have such a big battle? Just form a cheerleading team with regular performances. In fact, it is to prevent the fans from being bored during this period."

Chen Hao also smiled.

"I got it, a little tank top, a miniskirt, tall and thin, long legs, a fox face, the sexier the better."

Although it sounds a bit cheesy.

But football.

Civilian movement.

The fan base of any team is definitely the largest among the working class.

Since I want to be on an entertainment show.

Of course, it must conform to the hobbies and tastes of most fans.

"I see that you have collected a lot of posters of page three girls from The Sun and many British football babies. Let's organize them according to that standard. Let's get to know the market. Let's pay them wages and make sure they perform well during the half-time break. 10 minutes, all our home match days combined, that is, once a week, the intensity is not high, but the quality must pass the test. I will give you a budget of 50 pounds each season to start this event!"

The competition period is from August to May of the following year.

It took less than 10 months to complete.

During this period, we also need to exclude the time occupied by FIFA match days.

Leeds United only has 19 home match days in the Premier League.

The full calculation includes local cup competitions and European competitions.

There are only 25 to 30 home game days in a season.

With a budget of 50 pounds, that means the expenditure on a match day is close to 2 pounds.

Is it big?

Your uncle Tiantuan doesn't appear in the game, but he still earns a steady income of [-] pounds a week.

This kind of performance definitely requires a lot of people.

20, 30 starts.

If each person earns 500 pounds, he can form a performance troupe of almost 40 people.

If you press it lower.

Per capita 400,300.

The more people there are, the bigger the scale will be.

After Chen Hao told Chris Jones about this, their eyes lit up.

They are professionals when it comes to picking women.

Before Shen Hao finished smoking and left, he said to Chen Hao: "It's best to choose some black, white and yellow from different countries and regions. Everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables."

"Don't worry, Brother Hao. If the quality of this is not up to par in the end, you will blame me."

...

In the second half of this League Cup, Leeds United still couldn't win for a long time.

Watford's counterattack failed to pose a threat.

The performance of Seth Johnson and Kilgallon on the defensive end satisfied Shen Hao.

The game went into overtime.

Shen Hao made a substitution.

Franck Ribery, Jamie Redknapp and Lopez appeared together.

Leeds United's offensive quality instantly upgraded.

Still pressing the opponent, but showing more blossoming effects.

Ribery created a threat from the left, which in turn freed up Mendieta, who took the lead in scoring from a long shot outside the penalty area.

Then Watford stopped holding on.

Leeds United's offensive environment is gradually becoming ideal.

Franck Ribery and Jamie Redknapp made great achievements one after another.

30 minutes of overtime.

They actually ended the fight in just 20 minutes.

3: 0!

Watford fans were in disbelief.

"Leeds United's strength has become even more terrifying after being promoted to the Premier League!"

"Mendieta...and that Ribery...López...Davis...how can they be so strong!"

"Oh, the gap is too big. Everyone hates the Leeds tyrant. At first it was a kind of hostility, but now, it's just envy and jealousy!"

"Why didn't he come to buy Watford? Farke!"

Leeds United defeated Watford in overtime at home to advance to the last 16 of the League Cup.

This night was a close call for Leeds United fans.

The results were as expected, but the process was not that smooth sailing.

At Old Trafford, an hour's drive away from Leeds, the big four teams in the Premier League only entered the competition in the third round of the League Cup.

Manchester United drew a low-level opponent, and Ferguson used a lineup composed of young players such as Pique and Rossi to train and win the game easily.

The post-match joy at Old Trafford was extremely limited.

One bad thing after another for Manchester United fans.

There are still a significant number of fans who are against the Glazer family, which has caused a division in the fan base.

Outside the Old Trafford Stadium, there are also fan organizations conducting "fundraising" and "charity sales". They hope to raise enough funds to buy back Manchester United, or start a new one to re-establish a Manchester United with pure blood and continuation of their local traditions. Of course, if a new club is built, it will definitely not be called Manchester United.

This is just the extreme behavior of a very small number of fans.

Most fans are still worried about Manchester United's performance in the Premier League and the conflicts and problems that have arisen within the team.

Arch-rival Leeds United's nine-game winning streak may have just made them feel bored and not really seen as a brand new threat.

Chelsea's strong record of 8 wins and 1 loss truly shows the style and momentum they deserve as a Premier League champion.

曼联5胜3平1负的战绩，哪怕不考虑他们落后给利兹联达到了9分，光是落后切尔西6分也足以令红魔球迷寝食难安。

For a month, Manchester United fans never saw captain Keane appear in an official game on behalf of Manchester United.

If Keane retired from injury a month ago, recovered and returned to the training ground, he had a small friction with Van der Sar and other teammates, and he violated a taboo by criticizing some teammates without any restraint. His being sent to the reserve team is a kind of Ferguson. punish.

So it was not until today that Keane was not seen in the League Cup that everyone realized how serious Ferguson's anger was this time.

If Stam, who once turned against Ferguson, is seeking his own death by exposing himself as an insider, Lee Sharp and Kanchelski are willing to fall into irrepentance, then the father-son break with Beckham definitely shows Ferguson's management skills. The iron fist and determination.

Keane, who has a fiery personality and is straightforward, blasted Manchester United in front of the media for reducing players' holidays during their Asia trip, criticizing Cristiano Ronaldo, Fletcher and other young players for not working hard enough and lacking team quality. He was judged as an outsider. It's not necessarily nonsense.

But this destroyed the harmony of the team and caused tension within the team.

There must be many die-hard Ferguson fans who believe that Keane brought it upon himself.

Right or wrong.

It's a huge loss for the Red Devils this season.

Keane's iron-blooded spirit has been a symbol of the Red Devils' temperament for a long time in the past and is extremely infectious.

Before the rise of Chelsea, in the era when Arsenal and Manchester United competed, Keane vs. Vieira represented the tough spirit of the two teams.

Nowadays, Vieira has left for the Apennines, and Keane has been sent to the reserve team by Manchester United and relegated to the sidelines.

Just like the wheels of time rolling forward, they have finally become a mark in history.

With the bleak wind and cool rain, Cheshire in late autumn makes people unable to feel the warmth.

Keane has also recognized the reality at home and plans to have a showdown with Manchester United.

When he had a phone call with club CEO David Gill, he chose to relent, hoping to bury the hatchet.

But what he got in exchange was an almost mocking comment from David Gill.

"How dare you be so arrogant and point fingers at everything? You only came here in 93, right?"

Even Keane, who had an iron ambition, couldn't help but feel his will was shattered at this moment.

Everyone knows that Manchester United has Class 92.

The Manchester United youth team won the FA Youth Cup in 92. Since then, players have successively represented the first team and become the team's championship core team in the past ten years. Manchester United has benefited to this day.

The Class of 92 is Ferguson's proud work, and it is also the crystallization of an era that Manchester United is proud of.

They are different and have a transcendent status.

Roy Keane, who has been working hard for the Red Devils for more than 11 years, seemed to have all his contributions wiped out in an instant.

He was the captain of the Red Devils a few months ago, but now he is being humiliated by the club's CEO just because he is not in Class 92!

Keane dropped the phone to the ground.

Like a ferocious beast roaring, his eyes are about to burst!

With a ferocious look on his face, he regretted it!

Why seek reconciliation?

Why should we bow our heads voluntarily?

The club sacrifices the team's holidays in order to make money, and he speaks for the team. Is it wrong?

That stubborn old man took care of the young players like a nanny. What did he sacrifice?It’s their time as veterans!

Having failed to win a meaningful championship for two consecutive years, as a wealthy club, can we remain indifferent?

If you can't invest as much as Chelsea, shouldn't you do your best at your job?

Even their mortal enemy Leeds United was already riding on their heads. Not long after the start of the season, they had their mortal enemy on top of them!

Why don't others have a sense of crisis?

Keane got angry and picked up the phone again.

Manchester United in his mind has changed.

And it broke his heart.

He knew Ferguson too well.

If he had been a bystander, he would have seen the outcome the day he was sent to the reserve team.

But when he was in the middle of the game, he had unrealistic illusions.

I think this is just a way for Ferguson to regain his authority, or a blow to him, hoping that he will recognize the reality.

He was wrong.

Ferguson hasn't changed.

It is his sobriety without spectators.

Now I understand everything.

Keane made a phone call.

"Captain, I haven't contacted you for a long time. How are you? I heard that you are going to return to the national team. Is it true?"

Hear a voice on the other end of the phone.

Keane calmed down a lot.

He was silent for a moment.

Finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

This Manchester United, don’t wait!

"Gary, help me bring a message to your boss."

...

end of June.

The 10st round of the Premier League.

Leeds United faced Fulham at home.

Having just played in the League Cup in midweek, Leeds United are in full swing.

Except for Mendieta, who sat on the bench with his arms folded across his chest and looked a little unhappy, the other players were in high spirits and had a strong fighting spirit.

Fulham's attitude attracted Shen Hao's attention.

Leeds United's 9-game winning streak in the Premier League finally made some Premier League teams begin to take it seriously, or in other words, fear it.

Fulham defended tightly and their formation shrank extremely densely.

Leeds United still has a balanced offense and defense, neither aggressive nor conservative.

This is their usual opening attitude after entering the Premier League, even when playing against Chelsea.

Then adjustments will be made as the situation changes.

There are many veterans, rich experience, and strong ability to adapt to changes.

Even if the tacit understanding of the overall rhythm is not maintained at the first time, with a little reminder from Shen Hao or timely communication between teammates on the field, the team can achieve unified thinking and rhythm in a short time.

Intensive defense will naturally test Leeds United's attacking ability.

Leeds United fans sneered at Fulham's cowering, and the comments were full of ridicule.

Shen Hao thought Fulham just wanted to counterattack.

If they still can't see any hope of scoring a goal, they will change their stance, such as launching a short-term attack against the visitors.

But his expectations were met with failure.

When the game reached the 70th minute, there were no obvious signs of Fulham's offensive picking up.

Lopez lacks space and cannot use his speed advantage. Rivaldo and Ribery are heavily targeted, resulting in very limited threats that his personal abilities can create.

Leeds United's offensive strength obviously needs to be improved.

At this time, there is little hope of relying on the players' own abilities on the field.

At the 75th minute of the game, Shen Hao made a substitution.

Guardiola and Batistuta appeared together.

Shen Hao removed Simeone and Redondo.

The midfielder strengthens organization, retains players with stronger mobility in the backcourt, and Kelly takes care of the defense in the middle.

Batistuta goes to the center position.

Leeds United changes 334.

Desperate style of play.

Even though Fulham did not change their posture at this time, they had better space to counterattack. Davis, Jamie Redknapp, De Boer, and Kelly ran back and forth in the defense, fighting for their lives.

The wonderful interception in the defense made the fans cheer.

Toldo took the initiative to resolve the one-on-one attack, which made the frightened fans scream in surprise.

When the game came to the 85th minute, Shen Hao used up the last substitution.

Kilgallon replaces Lopez.

I thought it was a conservative substitution.

Re-strengthen the defense.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Kilgallon stayed in the Fulham penalty area to fight for a header!

Use the defender as a center!

Leeds United bombed in the last minute.

The game just entered the stoppage time period.

Candela's cross from the left wing was dropped into the penalty area.

Kilgallon fought for the front point and jumped high, but he fell off the top!

This completely stunned the defenders around him.

Everyone's eyes turned, and they saw Batistuta, who was ambushing at the back point, raising his leg and volleying the fallen football mat towards the goal in front of him.

Fulham goalkeeper Tony Warner had no time to make a save, and his momentum came to an abrupt end.

Then he shook his head and sighed.

"Batistuta's ultimate kill! A decisive victory! A decisive victory on horseback!"

"The old God of War in white can still break down doors!"

"Brother Hao's fighting style is really exciting!"

Fulham coach Chris Coleman's facial expression was slightly distorted.

I was depressed and useless for 90 minutes.

Isn’t it just for 1 point?

As a result, Leeds United are really ruthless!

Not even 1 point allowed!

After Batistuta scored, Shen Hao jumped up on the spot, raised his fists and roared, and then immediately returned to his serious expression. He shouted at the players on the field.

Jamie Redknapp, who originally rushed to celebrate, saw Shen Hao's actions and quickly stopped and ran.

Shen Hao briefly explained to him and then pushed Jamie Redknapp back to the court.

Jamie Redknapp ran in the direction of the peloton again, but the celebrations of his teammates were over. Batistuta showed the bright smile of an old handsome boy like a star holding the moon.

Jamie Redknapp rushed directly in front of Kilgallon and conveyed Shen Hao's instructions to him, pointing to the backcourt, which was obvious.

This is for him to go back and play center back.

Kilgallon nodded frequently, finally looked towards Shen Hao on the sidelines, raised his right hand and made an OK gesture.

Shen Hao nodded slightly, but still maintained a serious expression.

Fulham still have a chance.

He didn't want this goal to be just an emotional roller coaster.

Leeds United's forwards harassed Fulham after the kick-off, and the midfielders and defenders retreated.

Fulham had no good way to counterattack.

He pulled out an English lob, and at the critical moment, Kilgallon actually completed a header to clear the ball with his 188-centimeter height!

Leeds fans applauded.

After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Shen Hao shook his fist heavily.

A hard-earned victory.

Leeds United fans celebrate wildly!

Winning ten consecutive victories!

Shen Hao is leading the white jersey to create the team's top league, a record in the history of the Premier League!

After shaking hands with Chris Coleman after the game, Shen Hao did not go directly into the tunnel.

Instead, he entered the field to briefly high-five and hug the players, and finally he came to Kelly's side.

The head coach hugged his captain, and in the eyes of outsiders they were enjoying the joy of ten consecutive victories together.

But the outside world didn't know that what Shen Hao put his arms around Kelly and said in his ear had nothing to do with the game.

"If Roy Keane wants to come to Leeds, he can. As long as he comes, there will be a place, but you have to understand that he is still a player of Manchester United. We cannot take the initiative to contact him. Since he took the initiative to contact you, you can communicate with him. , the commitment I can give is very limited, and the prerequisite for Leeds United to invite him is that he no longer has a contractual relationship with Manchester United."

Kelly nodded, he also understood the subtle situation here.

If Keane does not terminate his contract with Manchester United.

Then it is impossible for Leeds United to have someone who can make the decision to contact him.

English teams may be unscrupulous when contacting teams from other leagues, especially clubs with average reputations.

But in the local area, if it is done excessively, the uproar caused will have too great a negative impact on the club.

Shen Hao is not a coward.

but not worth it.

If there is a chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, then Shen Hao would have no problem meeting him in person and discussing it in detail.

But with a veteran Roy Keane, Shen Hao cannot afford to take risks.

Not cost-effective.

Roy Keane and Gary Kelly are both Ireland internationals.

It’s a long time to be teammates at the national team level.

It's just that Keane announced his retirement from the national team before. He originally had plans to return to the national team in the past six months, but it was just a rumor, and the rumor was that Ferguson banned it.

Roy Keane's situation at Manchester United is well known.

Shen Hao didn't open the door to Keane with a revenge mentality because the opponent was a Red Devil.

The main reason is that Simeone is old, already 35 years old.

The addition of 34-year-old Roy Keane will definitely be a good addition to Leeds United's lineup.

After all, their first team only has 21 players in total.

There are still many veterans. At this scale, even if it expands to close to 30 people, there will be no problem.

After all, veterans who are 35,36 or [-] years old want to become the perfect attendance king, but they have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.

The more people there are, the easier it will be for Shen Hao to rotate, and the veteran's condition will be more comfortable to maintain.
