Chapter 195 Shaq who crushes everything! (17)
At the entire Leeds United celebration of the championship, Shaq seemed depressed. Even if he had a smile, he was reluctant. It was much worse than others, which made everyone wonder. This kid... could he be angry about losing to Norwich City today's game!?
The more I think so, the more I feel that it is possible that Shaq is warlike, strong and competitive. He is really famous in Leeds United. In addition, the brothers of the "Swordsman Group" also know his personality, so in daily games, as long as Shaq plays, everyone will be energetic to fight. Shaq has almost never left a Leeds United game, and the fierce momentum of the "Youth Guards" was fought one by one.
However, in this game after winning the championship today, the substitutes did not do their best. Only one Shaq went crazy on the court, and the effect it could play was really not great. Look at Shaq's game data is still very perverted. 79 passes were successful 71 times, 4 key passes, 4 steals, 8 headers, 3 interceptions, 4 shots and... 4 offsides.
In the past, Shaq always intervened in the offense and the space in front of him was left out, so offside was almost unrelated to him. But today, offside was 4 times, which shows how much Shaq wanted to win the game.
Shaq's dissatisfaction with the results of today's game was passed down by the players and then fell into the ears of the substitutes. John Fleck, Chris Farley, Snoldgras and others blushed, but Barnetta, Hamette Altentop and others still looked disapproving. They had already made plans. Since they could not play as the main player at Leeds United, they would just leave next season.
The banquet process was still very smooth, and most people were still excited from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the "Youth Guards" now won the league and the "double champion" of the League Cup, and the FA Cup also reached the finals, and it is very likely to make a breakthrough in the Champions League semi-finals. Speaking of which, even the peak state of a giant team is like this.
But Simon Grayson, Bielhof and others' flashing eyes fell into the eyes of those who are interested, and some clues can still be seen. However, no one dared to speculate boldly at this time. The "Young Guards" in front of them, which had just begun a brilliant journey, will lose their head coach and the core of the team this summer.
After the celebration, Leeds United took a day off and then trained for two more days before flying to Munich... The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals was about to begin.
After defeating Bayern Munich 4-1 at home in the first leg, the "Youth Guards" have been regarded as possible winners by European media. After all, Bayern Munich is a well-known king in European football. They have maintained strong competitiveness against the Champions League trophy for several consecutive years, but Leeds United can defeat them 4-1, which is enough to prove that Leeds United's young team really has the strength to win the championship.
However, only half of the people are optimistic about Leeds United entering the finals. Even though Bayern Munich is already behind 1:4 in the total score, half of them still think that Bayern is not without a chance.
Bayern Munich's home Allianz Stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 spectators, will provide Bayern with strong support. As a tactical master and a champion coach, Guardiola should never be despised. What's more, Guardiola does have many good cards in his hand. As long as one is played out, it is enough to pose a threat to Leeds United. If this good card is played well, it is not impossible for Bayern to win Leeds United for more than three goals at home.
In fact, Guardiola really made up his mind to get his disadvantage back at home this time. It was the first time after coaching Bayern that he ignored the feelings of some stars in the team, but resolutely implemented his tactical concepts thoroughly.
It's only a week since the first time we met Leeds United, but when Bayern Munich's starting lineup was released in the second leg, even Simon Grayson frowned. Is this change a little big?
Thomas Muller, who is well-known in German football, was placed on the bench, while 24-year-old star Klos, who is more comprehensive in technology, was placed behind Gomez.
The replacement for Klos and "Piggy" Schweinsteiger is Alaba, who is only 21 years old. Although this Austrian young player is young, he already played for the Austrian national team at the age of 17 and also played the Champions League for Bayern.
Nowadays, Alaba's ball skills are becoming more and more mature. He has strong passing and control skills, and is also good at sending key balls. Because he is a black player with an excellent body, he is developing towards an all-round midfielder.
In the Bayern team in Heinx's era, Alaba had to be suppressed by Robben, Ribery, Thomas Muller and others, and even was loaned out for a while. However, when Guardiola was at the time, Alaba had more opportunities to play this season, and this young player did have a good face. In the limited time of 11 starts and 15 substitutes, he scored 5 goals and assisted 3 times.
In addition to Alaba, Guardiola also made adjustments to his team's back line. The 30-year-old Ram was excluded from the main lineup, and the players trained by Bayern were replaced by 24-year-old Italian left-back Diego Contento and right-back Rafinia were abandoned, while the 25-year-old Jerome Boateng was replaced.
After the last game against Leeds United, Guardiola had no way to let his team play steadily. He had only one way to go, which was to attack wildly at Allianz Stadium. Ram's assist ability was originally not weak, but after all, he was old and could not attack, but he couldn't come back. Although Rafina's assist ability was good, his defensive ability was much worse. After being evaluated by Guardiola and his coaching staff, he was also excluded from the main lineup.
After strengthening the team's attack power, Bayern Munich really showed their strength and courage in front of 66,000 fans of Allianz Stadium, and the commentator who was criticizing Guardiola for placing troops before the game also turned against him.
With the long whistle from Swiss referee Zimmoremann, Bayern Munich, who played at home, kicked off the ball first...
"Baobabababababababa..."
The ball went through the foot of Gomez and Klos and then sent it to Alaba's feet. Then Alaba handed the ball to the "piglet" Schweinsteiger. The latter turned around and passed it across, sending the ball to Ribery on the left. After the Frenchman controlled the ball for a little while, he stuffed the ball back to Schweinsteiger who was rushing up.
Although the speed of the "Pigle" was not fast, his consciousness, skills, physical fitness, and strength were all strong. He used his tall body as a cover to carry the Plum Fersarico and drove the ball to the bottom line. When Ribery rushed from behind him to the inside to meet him, Schweiingsteiger turned around and kicked the ball to the left.
Diego Contento appeared!
"Bang!"
The Italian left-back stopped the ball steadily, looked up at the middle of the road calmly, and then made a "bang" pass!
"Swoosh swish swish!"
The ball was spinning in the air and landed in the small penalty area on the right...
In the chaotic crowd, a thin, sparsely haired half-bald rushed out, and pushed the ball into the Leeds United goal two meters away with a "bang"!
"torrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Robben! Al-Yang Robben! Excellent awareness of encirclement and keen sense of smell in front of the goal! Robben used a header that he rarely used to push Contento's cross into the goal! 1:0! We took the lead just one minute of the game! Now the total score of both sides has become 2:4! Although we are still two goals behind, we have hope of completing the reversal! It is very promising!"
At the Allianz Stadium, the emotions of Bayern Munich fans were suddenly ignited. They were basically a little desperate when the team lost 1:4 in the first leg. They just hoped for miracles in this game... But now it seems that God has not abandoned Bayern.
Simon Grayson turned his eyebrows together while sitting on the sidelines, and his face was so serious that he seemed to be swearing. Not even a minute before the start of the game, his players didn't even touch the edge of the ball, and Bayern actually scored a goal. This game... is really hard to play!
But at this time, Simon Grayson had no way to make any adjustments. The game has just begun. Bayern's goal can be completely attributed to a balloon of luck. Who can make any adjustments at this time?
However, Bayern Munich's unreasonable hard attack and hard rushing made Simon Grayson feel a bad feeling.
Bayern players did not celebrate the goal. After all, they were two goals behind with a total score of 2:4. Robben even rushed into the goal and carried the ball and ran back. He clapped his hands with his teammates along the way. He even celebrated.
The "Young Guards" who scored a goal as soon as the opponent came up was of course very unhappy. After the game started again, they launched an attack on their opponents, and the attack method was still the ground attack they were most familiar with.
The ball was first passed back to the foot of goalkeeper Ronegan. After the formation of both players was opened, they were divided into the left side. The left offensive system of "Leeds Three Musketeers" + "Beasts" was completely unfolded. After the four people cooperated through passing and running, they easily tore off Bayern's defense from the left side.
Jonny Hausen brought the ball to Boateng before making a fake move to the left, then dunked the ball to his right foot. Before he could continue to do the move, Alaba came out from the diagonally behind and stabbed the ball to Boateng's feet.
"Bang!"
Boateng cleared the ball with a long pass and sent the ball to the midfield. Gomez was slower when receiving, and the ball was pushed back by Leeds United's Argentine central defender Caruzzo.
After the young player Ashley Hood got the ball, he did not turn around or break through. He directly passed the ball with a cross and sent the ball to Ben Parker on the left. This offensive routine is still familiar to the Leeds United players.
"Bang!"
Ben Parker passed the ball to the left side of the top of the penalty area in the middle, and Shaq also appeared there on time, but Shaq had no chance to complete the shot. Boateng and Breno had already rushed to him.
Just a glance, Shaq saw the gap between the two men, then pushed the arch and sent the ball into Bayern Munich's penalty area with a diagonal line. Captain Leeds also appeared on the passing route, and moved the ball sideways and headed towards Bayern Munich's small penalty area, but at this time...
"Ding--"
The referee's whistle sounded, and the lineman's flag was raised... Jonny Hausen offside!
kindness!?
Shaq who passed the ball and Jonny Hausen who received the ball were both stunned. They didn’t know how many times they practiced this tactic, nor how many times they played in the game, and they didn’t remember how many goals they had already scored, but this time... they were offside!?
Through the slow-motion replay, everyone still saw it. Just the moment Shaq passed the ball, Jonny Hausen was indeed offside half of his body... and only half of his body!
Simon Grayson, who was off the court, frowned repeatedly. Others were watching Jonny Hausen offside, but he was watching at that moment Breno and Boateng both made such a big strode outward in a consistent manner, and then rushed towards Shaq. This... would be a coincidence!?
Or... Guardiola has really studied Leeds United's offensive tactics thoroughly!?
It's great, keep writing 170! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
