Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 402 A powerful enemy surfaced!

Villarreal are experiencing an inevitable disaster at Elland Road.

Leeds United's violent offensive was like an oncoming tsunami that completely engulfed them.

However, the yellow submarine did not stir up any waves in this disaster, no ripples were seen, and it was silent.

It only took 65 minutes to rewrite the score to 5:0. Leeds United showed their unrivaled strength as the defending champion.

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho each made a contribution in the second half, allowing people to see how incredible the ability of the two golden ball players to dominate the green field is.

Leeds United took the initiative to withdraw their troops, giving Villarreal some breathing space. After regaining consciousness, they seemed to have fallen into numbness and depression after being repeatedly ravaged.

The whole world seemed to have become gray and pale, without color and luster.

The score never changed in the final 25 minutes.

When the whole game came to an end, Shen Hao's posture was calm and calm, without any arrogance.

It's as if Villarreal is an opponent whose victory is not worth collecting.

Accompanying Legrini received Shen Hao's routine respect, without any ill will.

But facing a coach who was about the same age as his children, a disastrous defeat still made it difficult for Legrini to maintain his dignity.

Perhaps he hoped that Shen Hao would show some arrogance or unbridled words and deeds in front of him.

But Shen Hao didn't.

It was as if he had never looked at him seriously as an opponent.

Fleet Street took the result for granted.

Although everyone is laughing at Real Madrid for being the 16th player in the Champions League.

But most will sympathize with Real Madrid.

They're so unlucky.

As long as they don't encounter Leeds United every year, Real Madrid will not fall into this situation.

As for Villarreal, who made it to the quarter-finals, if you want to compare the team with Real Madrid...it obviously suffered a massacre at Elland Road, which seems to be nothing to make a fuss about.

Leeds United have secured a ticket to the Champions League semi-finals in advance.

The next night, Shen Hao took Arthur and Shen Yao to play in the amusement park of Modern City. When the amusement park was about to close, he took his two children home. As soon as he reached the first floor of Modern City, he saw The live results of a Champions League match were seen on the big screen in the square.

This is also a feature of Modern City, which provides fans with a comfortable open-air viewing environment, and provides food and drink to stimulate consumption. Whether it is a man or woman who looks at each other or someone who has drunk too much and wants to rest, they can go directly upstairs to the hotel.

Chris Jones stood on the roadside waiting for Shen Hao. He was Shen Hao's driver tonight.

He had just put out a cigarette and was about to open the back door for Shen Hao, when he saw Shen Hao holding Arthur in one hand and holding Shen Yao in the other, looking up at the game screen on the big screen.

Chris Jones also took a look, and he actually didn't care about games outside of Leeds United.

But seeing the score displayed in the upper left corner of the big screen still shocked him.

Barcelona 4:0 Bayern Munich!

When he came to his senses, Shen Hao was holding Arthur in his arms and holding Shen Yao's hand, he was almost walking to the roadside.

Chris Jones smiled and opened the rear door for him.

Shen Hao got into the car with his two children.

Chris Jones drove him back to his villa in the suburbs.

The two children were tired from playing, one on the left and one on the right had begun to doze off in his arms.

Shen Hao was lost in thought along the way.

Even though Bayern Munich is no longer considered the top team in European football.

But in horizontal comparison, it is definitely at least half a step better than Villarreal!

Barcelona's strength in La Liga cannot attract Shen Hao's attention.

Then starting to massacre the giants in the Champions League is enough to make him wary.

The season is about to enter its final stages.

Leeds United, which is going smoothly in the Premier League, is bound to turn its attention more to European competitions.

Shen Hao, who has always maintained a sense of vigilance in times of crisis, realized that perhaps their biggest enemy this season has officially surfaced!

However, there are great variables in the Champions League.

He is confident, but he dare not say 100% that he can reach the Champions League finals for three consecutive years.

At the same time, even if Barcelona has locked in the semi-finals, it still has to pass a hurdle to advance to the finals.

Now, it’s time to start paying full attention to Barcelona.

Shen Hao thought of Messi and Guardiola...

Leeds United host Arsenal at the weekend.

Arsenal lost to Manchester United in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Ferguson's team also laid a good foundation for advancing to the semi-finals.

Wenger's team is in an embarrassing and somewhat embarrassing situation.

The Champions League is a disaster.

The race for fourth place in the league is slim.

But no matter what, Arsenal will fight.

After all, theoretically they have not lost the possibility of entering the top four.

In the middle of the week, the main team bombarded Villarreal and won a big victory.

Over the weekend, Shen Hao continued to use his main team to face Arsenal.

He is preparing to make extensive rotations in the second round of the quarterfinals.

Some players should be allowed to practice under pressure.

It’s not a big event, but it’s not an ordinary game either.

Wenger said before the game that he would not be afraid of Leeds United when going to away games.

Anyway, he has the toughest attitude all over his body.

On a rainy afternoon, Leeds United faced Arsenal at home.

Shen Hao stood on the sidelines and supervised the battle.

Although Leeds United still played with the main lineup, they adopted a defensive and counterattack technique and tactics.

When they have a huge lead in the standings, there is no question of utilitarianism or not.

It makes little sense to discuss this level.

But perhaps because he has recently begun to study and pay attention to Barcelona's performance, Shen Hao is more certain for the first time during the season that if the team wants to continue to create glory at the end of the season, the only way is defensive counterattack.

This is an estimate of the odds of winning.

It's not that Leeds United can't fight their opponents at all costs, but the defensive counterattack has a greater chance of winning.

That's it.

Arsenal under Wenger have been as naive as children who will never grow up since their captains left one after another.

Being able to take the initiative when they came to the away game made them more confident and bold to frequently attack Leeds United's defense.

However, the seemingly extremely fragile defensive triangle of Djurou, Denilson, and Kolo Toure withstood repeated attacks from Leeds United's striker.

When Ronaldinho used an acrobatic volley from behind to complete the rainbow pass, he then stopped the ball in the Arsenal penalty area and pushed the ball home.

Arsenal still did not choose to strengthen their defense.

Even Shen Hao was worried about them on the sidelines.

He hopes that Arsenal will be more realistic. In the few remaining games of the season, Leeds United can accumulate experience in more complex scenes and situations, as well as make more flexible use and attempts of personal skills and group coordination in limited circumstances.

Only in this way can the team's vitality and threat be maintained in the counterattack.

If you always use speed and passion, simple breakthroughs and passes will break through the defense.

It's hard to say whether this is good or bad for Leeds United at the moment.

Because a stronger opponent will definitely not be defeated so simply.

Daisler and Ronaldo scored consecutively.

The score was rewritten to 3:0 before the end of the first half.

Shen Hao was speechless.

Arsenal is like a broken pot...

It did not put enough pressure on Leeds United, and was not even willing to start a psychological game with them. The least patience could not be achieved.

Shen Hao couldn't figure out how this team expected to return to the top.

Maybe Wenger is distraught.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Arsenal's defense is trembling, but the offensive system is still alive and kicking.

This situation is not an anomaly for Arsenal.

Because they have also recorded some big-scoring draws and have the tenacity to chase points.

It's hard to imagine what kind of philosophy Wenger has instilled in them, so that the attacking group can ignore the holes in the defense and still maintain a good attitude and do their best to attack.

When Walcott received Arshavin's pass, he broke through Neuer's fingers in the penalty area.

Arsenal fans seemed to see a spark of hope reignited.

But it didn't take long when Ronaldo controlled the ball on the penalty area line and the fried ball at his feet changed direction and broke through Zhu Lu with a powerful shot.

This faint flame of hope suddenly disappeared.

Leeds United 4:1 Arsenal.

Chase one, get beaten one.

On the contrary, it will put more pressure on the team and morale will begin to weaken.

Arsenal's initiative kept the scene unrestrained.

At least they were able to complete the attack and then Leeds were able to complete the counter-attack.

Reciprocity.

Modric showed off a precise long pass from a very long distance.

Ronaldinho showed off his movement and then turned around in the air to play the ball with his back.

The football bounced towards the center of the penalty area and was volleyed into the goal by Ronaldo!

Brilliant!

"Ronaldo scored a hat trick! Ronaldinho's back-up play in the air simply brought freestyle football to the top professional arena!"

"Arsenal, today's defeat is certain, I'm afraid there is no hope of winning the fourth place."

"Within a week, they will fail to finish fourth in the league and will most likely be eliminated from the Champions League."

"Since the departure of Vieira and Henry, Arsenal will never return to its former top level."

"Arsenal can still bring some amazing team goals to the fans from time to time, but it is fatal that the overall record against strong teams has not improved."

Leeds United already leads Arsenal 5:1.

If the fight continues, it seems that another tragedy will occur.

Shen Hao made a substitution.

To his surprise, Arsenal played a crazy offensive in the final stage of the game.

First, Arshavin made a world-wide impact, and then in stoppage time, Alexander Song entered the penalty area and seized the opportunity in the melee to score a goal.

The score of a rout was suddenly turned into a slightly more decent one.

Shen Hao was a little depressed.

I don’t know if it was because of the big lead, but the team was a little relaxed at the last moment.

Arsenal's luck came too late, and they focused on saving some face at the last moment.

Leeds United 5:3 Arsenal.

The game came to an end.

After this round of games, there are still 6 rounds left in the league.

Leeds United's lead over Manchester United remains 10 points.

Fleet Street was busy playing a sad song to Arsenal, and at the same time, it also began to add insult to injury and put pressure on Arsenal, questioning whether Wenger should continue to lead Arsenal forward.

From a business perspective, Arsenal cannot fire Wenger.

Because their new stadium loan has not yet been paid off.

There is a clause in the loan agreement that Wenger must coach Arsenal.

If Arsenal fires Wenger, it will be equivalent to a breach of contract.

From a business perspective, the commercial returns Wenger brings to the team will definitely allow Arsenal management to continue to trust him.

Just don't think about the championship.

Wenger did a pretty good job.

Leeds United, Manchester United, and Chelsea are now among the top three teams in the Premier League in terms of team building costs.

In theory, it should be a situation where Arsenal and Liverpool are competing for the top four. Arsenal is taking care of the Champions League this season, and Liverpool is specializing in the league. It seems reasonable that Liverpool performs better.

And in terms of coaching level and reputation, if Arsenal fires Wenger, can they find a coach who is better than Wenger or has the same ability and reputation?

There is basically no doubt about this.

impossible.

It can be expected that Arsenal will miss the Champions League again next season.

The prospect of negative emotions is sure to divide Arsenal fans.

It’s just that the cruel reality is before us, such as the establishment of the new Premier League structure, and the fact that the largest group of Arsenal fans are still grateful and proud of Wenger for leading them to the undefeated championship in the past, so internal divisions have only begun to take shape. That’s all.

If Arsenal can bounce back, it will be able to curb the trend of widening rifts.

In the middle of the week, Shen Hao led his team to Spain to challenge Villarreal at the Love Song Stadium.

Facing a huge disadvantage of falling behind 0:5 at the Estadio Ballad, Villarreal fans did not lose their enthusiasm. They cheered in the stands purely to support the team.

It is hoped that the team can save some face from the disastrous defeat in the first round by returning to home court.

Leeds United also gave them a chance.

Shen Hao sent a substitute rotation lineup to fight.

Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Deisler, Modric and other main players all sat on the bench.

Accompanying Legrini looked at Leeds United's substitute lineup and felt the pain of being humiliated.

Champions League quarterfinals.

Leeds United in the second team!

But is the second team weak?

The average ability of the three midfielders, Seth Johnson, Jamie Redknapp, and Rakitic, exceeds 160.

Ma Kai on the front line, Thiago Silva and Kilgallon on the back line, plus Candela and Baines, these are all players with abilities above 160.

The obvious weakness is Kyle Walker, but Shen Hao placed him at the right midfielder position, obviously fearing that he would be destroyed when he played as a full-back.

Leeds United put on a defensive counterattack posture, giving Villarreal the opportunity to control the scene and give full play to its offensive capabilities.

Facing Leeds United's 451 steel defense, Villarreal was able to create some shooting threats from time to time through patient and delicate passing attacks.

But it was definitely not enough to destroy Leeds United's defense.

It's like they've hit a hard wall in the league and are struggling.

The first half ended in a goalless draw.

In the second half, the Yellow Submarine accelerated and attacked Leeds United's defense.

However, Leeds United soon equalized the score through a quick counterattack as they were eager for quick success and stepped up their offensive.

Leeds United had an away goal.

Of course, Villarreal can no longer have the slightest hope of reversal.

Leeds United lost their goal again at the last moment of the game, and Villarreal scored the winner at home.

They defeated Leeds United 2:1.

But they were eliminated with a total score of 2:6!

Shen Hao looked normal and shook hands with Legrini after the game. No one from Leeds United celebrated entering the Champions League semi-finals.

This gesture made Villarreal feel uncomfortable for everyone from the players to the coach to the fans.

As if Leeds United's elimination of them was so insignificant.

If they reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, the whole city will be in an unprecedented uproar.

But for Leeds United, entering the semi-finals in a quarter-final match that has not passed the test of life and death, or even the slightest threat or difficulty, neither exceeded expectations nor is there anything to be proud of.

They are the winners of two consecutive Champions League titles and are heading towards three consecutive titles!

Shen Hao did not comment on the game after the game, but only expressed his appreciation for Villarreal's performance.

Accompanying Legrini could feel that Shen Hao's gentle attitude had completely left Villarreal behind.

God knows when will it be next time they meet again?

Of course there is no need to worry about it.
