Chapter 189 Shaq who crushes everything! (11)

Due to the Summer World Cup, the season has come to an end. After Leeds United eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, they have three games to play before facing their next semi-final rival Bayern Munich, two Premier League games and one FA Cup semi-finals.

The second of the two Premier League games is particularly critical for Leeds United, as they will have a direct conversation with "Blue Moon" Manchester City.

The opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals this time encountered Wolves. If Leeds United wants to pass the level, they will be able to pass the level. It mainly depends on Simon Grayson's arrangement for the schedule.

After consideration, Simon Grayson decided to focus on the league. After all, Leeds United has won the FA Cup champion, and it is not new to win it again. On the contrary, the English Premier League champion has a higher value, even less than the UEFA Champions League.

On April 12, Leeds United easily defeated the visiting "Magpie" Newcastle 2:0 with a combination of Shaq and a substitute lineup at home. Although Shaq did not score a goal in the game, he gave an assist to his teammates, and he also made considerable contributions in organizing offense and defense.

There is no way to do this. If Leeds United sends substitutes to play games, Shaq must pay more attention to the team's offensive organization and defense. There is no way to charge at the front of the team when attacking.

Of course, Shaq's efforts also paid off. After helping the team defeat Newcastle 2-0 easily, Leeds United continued to top the list with an unbeaten record of 27 wins, 5 draws, 0 losses and 86 points after the 32nd round of the league. Manchester City tied 1-1 with Arsenal in this round, and the difference between the score with Leeds United not only did not narrow but also expanded to 12 points.

In the remaining six league rounds, we have to catch up with the 12-point gap. This is really a difficult thing for "Blue Moon" Manchester City. However, if they can win the direct match against Leeds United, they can immediately reduce the gap between the two sides to 9 points. At that time, if they chase 9 points in five rounds, there will still be a little chance. However, if they lose the game against Leeds United, the gap between the two sides will be expanded to 15 points. Leeds United can win the championship in the next five rounds.

"Blue Moon" coach Pellegrini seemed very cautious in an interview: "We have not lost hope of winning the championship yet! This season, Leeds United's performance is really too strong. They are indeed champion-level teams. They are currently unbeaten for 32 rounds of the league. Maybe they are going to win the championship with an unbeaten record this season... Well, Leeds United's advantage is very obvious, that is, their strong attack power, they suppressed all England teams with this huge advantage... At Elland Road Stadium, we can't play against them, that's too risky."

Pellegrini has actually done a very good job this season. As a head coach who has just arrived in England, it is actually a great achievement to be able to attack the championship in his first season of leading the team.

However, Pellegrini is not leading first-class teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. He is now coaching the "Blue Moon", and the Greater Manchester City, which has piled up countless superstars!

In the Premier League, Leeds United were suppressed. In fact, this has already made Manchester City's management dissatisfied. A team with stars such as Aguero, Sandro, Nasri, Kompani, Yaya Toure, Dzeko are definitely not just for qualifying for the Champions League every season, their goal is only one... Champion!

Fortunately, Manchester City performed quite well in the Champions League this season and has reached the Champions League semi-finals. Although it is a big disaster to meet the strong Barcelona, ​​Pellegrini still fully demonstrated his coaching ability. He was lucky in the league and encountered the "Youth Guards" at the peak of his career. However, the progress in the Champions League has given Manchester City's top leaders hope. For them, the influence of the Champions League is greater than that of the Premier League.

If this is not the case, perhaps Pellegrini's current coaching position will be shaky.

It seems that he has also been out of sight. When Pellegrini was visiting Elland Road Stadium on April 16, he did not show 100% combat power. Even the main lineup was only half sent, and he was already saving his strength for the team.

The first honor Leeds United is definitely the league championship, and then the Champions League. The FA Cup is already optional for them.

Manchester City also reached the FA Cup semi-finals. They competed with the "Blue Army" Chelsea for the ticket to the finals, and Manchester City also had the Champions League semi-finals to play, so Pellegrini made a wise choice when he had almost no hope of winning the league championship.

Of course, with Leeds United's main players exerting all their strength, they were fighting at home again, so the "Blue Moon" naturally had no chance to win at all.

Leeds United opened the door to victory early with Shaq's 18-minute "Shaq goal"!

Afterwards, Jonny Hausen expanded the score to 2:0 in 38 minutes!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Pivkowski scored another goal on Leeds United. Manchester City was also headed back by Dzeko in 70 minutes, and did not throw all his face at Elland Road Stadium. It proved well that he was indeed capable of competing for the championship with Leeds United, but they just gave up catching up.

After the game, Leeds United continued to lead the standings with 28 wins, 5 draws, 0 losses, and 89 points. The 15-point gap between them and second-place Manchester City also means that as long as Leeds United scores one point in the next five rounds of the league, they can win the championship in advance.

The "engineer" Pellegrini's voluntary abandonment was not criticized. On the contrary, countless media praised Pellegrini for being calm. When the team had no hope of competing for the league championship, it was absolutely wise to take the initiative to preserve their strength to fight for the FA Cup and the Champions League.

Pellegrini's initiative to give up was not in vain. At Wembley Stadium three days later, "Blue Moon" defeated his opponent with two gold goals from Aguero with a score of 2:1, and Mourinho's "Blue Army" ultimately failed to get the ticket to the FA Cup final.

Currently in the standings, the "Red Devils" Manchester United have come to the fourth place, with only Leeds United, Manchester City, and Arsenal ahead of them, while Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth and sixth. Mourinho's team broke out in the second half of the injury crisis and physical fitness crisis. If they failed to rush to the front in the standings, it is possible to participate in European competitions next season.

David Moyes encountered countless difficulties in his early coaching of the "Red Devils". Fortunately, at the critical moment, "Old Sir" Ferguson took action and directly began to interfere in the team's affairs. Although the head coach was still Moyes, Ferguson also exercised the right of half of the head coach, which brought the "Red Devils" that had already been poured into the top of the standings.

However, the help of "Sir Ferguson" means that Moyes, his chosen successor, ended in a failure. Now everyone understands that Moyes's coaching career at Manchester United has come to an end. After the season is over, he will definitely be left with a bedding, but it is still unknown who his successor will be.

Among the candidates listed for the next coach of the "Red Devils" include Rogers, Lambert, Keane, Scholes and others. Some people say that Heinx, who retired from Bayern, will come out again, and others say that Benitez, who is coaching Naples, will return to England again.

Of course, the most reliable statement is to dig Simon Grayson from Leeds United, which is also what countless "Red Devils" fans most hope to see. The reason why Manchester United has been strong for so many years is not just because they have huge transfer funds invested in the transfer market. Another more important reason is that "Old Sir" has the ability to be a man, selecting batches of outstanding young players from countless young talents, and training them into stars shining in the world football, such as Beckham, Neville brothers, Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, etc.

If we start from a tactical perspective, Simon Grayson's performance in coaching Leeds United is not enough to convince the public, but his ability to discover and cultivate new stars is too excellent. The "Three Musketeers of Leeds" has already made him famous. The subsequent appearance of new stars such as Simon Grayson, Red, Clegg Dawson, Pifkowski, Ashley Hood, "Xiao Ben", John Fleck proves how accurate Simon Grayson's vision is.

In this regard, Moyes really can't catch up!

Just letting Shaq go failed to stand out from Everton's youth training camp. This is enough to prove Moyes's low ability. A player who is now the core of England missed it. What else is more disgusting than this?

Simon Grayson's coaching ability is of course not comparable to Moyes. In the FA Cup semi-final between Leeds United and Wolves on April 20, the "Youth Guards" played with half-main lineup, but eventually defeated Wolves with a score of 5:0. Shaq used two "Shaq goals" to stage a "two goals" in the first half of the game, and secured the victory for Leeds United early.

After two FA Cup semi-finals, Leeds United and Manchester City are about to meet in the FA Cup final...

These two teams currently ranked in the top two in the Premier League standings are really stronger than the bosses of other teams. They have also reached the Champions League semi-finals and both reached the FA Cup finals. Leeds United has won the League Cup this season and has also secured the league championship, so they are obviously still slightly better.

Although countless people have said that Simon Grayson has been holding Shaq's thigh to achieve today's team-leading results, if anyone else came, would he really have the courage to promote an 18-year-old boy to the main lineup when he was short of soldiers when he was fighting in the English Champions League?

There are often Bole, but there are not many horses, but there are also many horses that need Bole to discover!

Is it Simon Grayson who made Shaq or Shaq who made Simon Grayson? This question... obviously has no answer at the moment.

There have been too many things recently. Fatty promised everyone’s updates and will definitely make up for them on the weekend! Alas~~~~~~~ Life! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
