Chapter 149 Metamorphosis is coming! (Guarantee 2)
Chapter 149: The pervert is coming!
Although the first round of the Champions League group stage game against Schalke 04 is coming, Simon Grayson is in a very good mood. His team tied Liverpool 1:1, defeated Arsenal 4:0, and defeated Chelsea 4:0. He won 2 wins and 1 draw in the first "Devil Schedule" in three consecutive rounds against traditional strong teams, and this record greatly enhanced the confidence of the "Youth Guards".
Football matches are often like this. The two teams have similar strengths, and one of them is even weaker. However, when the confrontation is held, only the team with high morale will win. This is why some "unpopular" often appear.
This is the case with the "Youth Guards" now. They won 3 wins and 1 draw in the league in the new season, especially after winning strong opponents such as the "Gunners" and "Blue Army", Leeds United's morale, fighting spirit and confidence have reached an unprecedented level, which has also made their first opponent, Schalke 04, return to the Champions League many years later.
Originally, it was at his home court, Elland Road Stadium, and Leeds United had a huge morale recently, which also made the game enter...Leeds time from the beginning!
Leeds United's opening was very similar to Cheng Yaojin's three-pronged axe. After three moves, they basically destroyed their opponents. If they could not be destroyed, the "Youth Guards" of last season would basically lose the game, but this season obviously reduced this situation. Against Liverpool and Chelsea all showed the strength of Leeds United, which is also the mature performance of this team.
But in today's game, "Leeds Time" played a role again...
In just 7 minutes of the game, Captain Leeds, who failed to play in many games, broke out!
After Jonny Hausen received the ball snatched by Dawson in the left midline, he immediately dribbled the ball forward and launched a charge. The truce in recent days has made Captain Leeds angry. And the German team in front of him...or any opponent will be the target of Captain Leeds' fire!
There was no sign at all. Jonny Hausen drove the ball and ran at lightning. When Schalke 04's players reacted, Jonny Hausen had already run out of a quarter of the depth of the court, and there were three people from Tevez, Ameobi and Shaq who were circling from the middle and the right. The German team's precise defense suddenly had loopholes.
But Captain Leeds did not pass the ball, but instead pulled his feet and shot angrily as soon as he entered the left penalty area!
"Bang!"
The ball containing Jonny Hausen's anger and all negative emotions is no different from the shells, especially Jonny Hausen's left foot and shot. After the ball drew an arc from the inside to the outside, it flew into the upper left corner of Schalke 04 goal!
German goalkeeper Rensing couldn't react at all. He fell backwards and sat on the lawn...1:0!
Looking at the Leeds United celebrating crazy, the Germans were stunned and completely stunned.
Before the game, Leeds United was very low-key, and Schalke 04's Dutch coach Stevens seemed quite relaxed: "Leeds United don't have any experience in Champions League, so we have certain advantages in this regard. Of course, we will not underestimate this opponent. After all, they are the runner-up in the English Premier League last season, and they are still very capable."
Stevens said it very easily. He seemed a little relaxed when he arranged the troops. He actually arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation away. He hoarded heavy troops in the frontcourt, and his mentality of wanting to win away games was undoubtedly revealed.
Unfortunately, Stevens obviously did not know enough about the "Young Guards". Although this young team was not experienced enough, their passionate flames were enough to burn all enemies.
In the 13th minute, Ameobi was tripped in front of the penalty area on the right side of Schalke 04. Ben Parker took the free kick very fast. He first flew into the air and then suddenly fell. A typical "elevator ball" made Schalke 04's goalkeeper Rensing look at the ball again and sigh. The ball barely hit the crossbar on the upper right of Schalke 04's goal and fell into the goal... 2:0!
In the 21st minute, Swedish boy Pivkovsky dribbled the ball from the right and made a wonderful pass from Tevez. After clever running, the "Beast" who was already in an unguarded state would naturally not be polite. He swung his right foot one meter to the right of the free throw point, and a "bang" ball entered the net... 3:0!
Stevens can no longer believe everything he sees. Leeds United doesn’t look like a new team in the Champions League, this... this is the fucking top seed team!
21 minutes, three goals!
Damn it!
Can Barcelona do this even in Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Real Madrid and Barcelona?
"Defense, defense! Retreat them all for me to defend!"
Stevens knew his mistake, and he shouted loudly to his players to retreat and defend, but it was too late. Even if Schalke 04, who was completely stunned, could not stop the opponent's goal.
In the 34th minute, Shaq made a cross from the right, and the ball accurately found Ben Parker who rushed to Schalke 04 goal from the left. Ben Parker just nodded against the ball. At this speed and landing point, he pushed the ball into the opponent's goal...4:0!
The German, who had completely lost his temper, seemed to be slaughtered in front of the "Young Guards" who had been crazy. In the 43-minute period, Rensin made a mistake and blocked Pivkovsky's not-threatening shot, but when he was holding the ball, he hugged the ball from his right arm to his back...5:0!
"Incredible! I can't believe it at all! Is this true? Oh my God! Our team actually led Schalke 04 5:0 in the first half! God! It's so incredible!"
Amid the deafening cheers at Elland Road Stadium, Stevens had covered his eyes with his hands. He was no longer in the mood to watch the game again. His team was like an amateur team in front of Leeds United.
But Schalke 04's tragedy... is not over yet!
One minute of injury time was in the first half, Captain Leeds' long shot from the left was blocked by Rensing. Pivkowski, who was standing in front, made a follow-up shot from the right. This time he did not count the goal as unlucky Rensing's head... 6:0!
In the second half, Leeds United were not so crazy. After all, their goal this season is the Premier League champion. They are not as confident as they can win the Champions League trophy, so after Ameobi scored a goal, Schalke 04 scored a long shot by their Kenyan midfielder Mariga before the end of the game.
In the end, the score of this game was locked on a crazy 7:1!
At the press conference after the game, Simon Grayson was able to talk to reporters: "Yes, this game is a very important moment for me and my team. This is the first time that most players have played in the Champions League. We were still a little nervous before the game. Fortunately, Jonny scored a goal for the team early and opened the door to victory for the team... I performed very well, and his second score was very exciting...Phillip and Sis Plums are also growing into the team's vitality on the right side..."
Simon Grayson praised almost all the players except Shaq. Even Ronegan, who didn't make much effort in this game, praised Schalke 04, because he only hit one of his seven shots in the goal range and scored a goal, but Leeds coach didn't even touch Shaq.
Of course, Simon Grayson did not have any objections to his favorite disciple, but he consciously wanted his opponent to ignore Shaq's role. England's teams all know what Shaq means to the "Young Guards", but this does not mean that the Germans also know it!
However, when Stevens made the summary, he mentioned Shaq. The Dutch coach with frosty Dutch seemed very calm: "We lost this game, but we lost it was not unfair because we really underestimated the opponent. This is my fault. Of course, the midfielder No. 5 Zach Thompson of Leeds United is indeed too outstanding. He almost collapsed every threatening attack we had, if it weren't for him. I believe my team would score a few goals, and we wouldn't have lost so many goals, because Leeds United wouldn't have so many offensive opportunities at all."
Simon Grayson, who was sitting on the side, shook his head helplessly: Damn! Why is this guy Shaq always so eye-catching? Alas...... The plan that wanted the German guy to careless was lost again!
In this game, Shaq only passed 35 times, and succeeded 32 times, and only gave Ben Parker the one. As a result, he received an assist, and two long shots were shot within the goal but no goal was scored, but he still attracted Stevens' attention.
Although he had no performance on the offensive end, Shaq's performance on the defensive end was too eye-catching. He completed 7 steals, 5 headers, and 5 interceptions alone. In the whole game, Schalke 04's midfield attack was completely unable to be played. Only bypassing Shaq's attack from the wing can he finally get a shot opportunity.
After being nominated by Stevens, Shaq's name was also valued by the entire European football world overnight. Although Leeds United played in the UEFA Cup last season, it is honest... the reorganized Europa League has received far less attention than the Winners Cup or League Cup in the past. The Champions League is now the highest-level event in the entire European football world, but the gap between it and the UEFA Cup is too big. No matter how good the performance in the UEFA Cup is, it is not as eye-catching as a Champions League match.
Leeds United, who has forgotten European football, defeated German powerhouse Schalke 04 7-1 in the first game of the Champions League. This "unpopularity" really shocked European football. The German team's tenacity has always been famous. Even Barcelona, the strongest in Europe, dared not slap their chests and said that they can score so many goals in Schalke 04, even if it is not a German team that is weaker than Schalke 04, that's not OK!
Korizen United…has done it!
Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, Tevez, Pivkowski, Ameobi and others have entered the field of European giants. Even the old "black big guy" has begun to attract attention this time. The age of 31 is indeed not young, but looking at Ameobi's current state, it should be no big problem if he wants to play for another two years.
Of course, Shaq is the one that attracts the most attention. Those giant teams are not two swords that don’t understand the ball. Through the video of the game between Leeds United and Schalke 04, it is easy to see why Leeds United is powerful. Without Shaq, a genius who can play the strength of the world’s top midfielder, Leeds United’s offensive opportunities are really much less. What’s more, this 20-year-old boy is actually very good at offensive end. This season, he has scored 2 goals and assists once in 4 games. This season, the passing success rate of up to 89% is really... really... quite perverted for a defensive midfielder!
Chapter completed!
