Chapter 37 This is war! (2.8 Guarantee 2)
Chapter 37 This is a war!
Fans of any team are in a complicated mood for their heroes to return to their old clubs to play after transfer. When Leeds fans saw Simon Grayson and Shaq sitting outside the Elland Road Stadium, they were also quite entangled. They both respected the heroes in their minds and resentment in the face of today's hostility...
When Shaq sat in the big bus, waved to the fans holding his portrait, the fans of Leeds United still burst into cheers...
"Shak! Shak! Shak!"
"Shake! Come back! Come back!"
"Shake! We love you! We love you forever!"
Although Shaq scored two goals for Leeds United when Manchester United played against Leeds United at home, few Leeds fans saw it with their own eyes. Their impression of Shaq is still at the moment when they were conquering the city and siege for their team last season.
I just don’t know if Shaq will still be the hero in the hearts of Leeds fans after this game...
Simon Grayson's team has a characteristic, that is, he doesn't need to say much in his pre-match tactical arrangements, and the players already know how to play the game.
In recent years, after the "Solar System Tactics" are formed, he basically doesn't need to arrange anything more before the game. This "Solar System Tactics" is complicated and complicated. It is actually very simple. It is nothing more than playing various cooperation around Shaq on the basis of ball control.
The "tiki-taka" tactics at Barcelona's peak also revolved around Messi, but Messi and Shaq are much worse than their personal abilities. The range of running, endurance, and weakness in defense all determine that Messi cannot let his figure spread all over the field like Shaq. Shaq can rush up and withdraw when attacking, but Messi can only rush up when attacking. When defending... please ignore the "little flea".
This season's "Red Devils" and the previous "Young Guards" both use Shaq to focus on the attack or restrain the opponent's defense line when attacking. When defending, they also rely on Shaq to complete the first interception. Both offense and defense have strong dependence on Shaq.
Therefore, there is still a big difference between "Solar System Tactics" and "tiki-taka".
In the visiting team's locker room, Simon Grayson looked serious: "Young guys, I know the outside world has been arguing for a long time. It's all about Shake and I returning to Elland Road to face the old club. But what I want to say here is that I am a professional football coach, you are professional players, and our professional qualities require that we must be responsible for our team, not for the team we have played for, so... just go on the court and win!"
Manchester United stars nodded one by one, but Shaq was in a very complicated mood at this time. He was very uncomfortable with entering the visiting team locker room at Elland Road Stadium for the first time. This made him feel very uncomfortable. This feeling... was very uncomfortable.
In the player channel, Shaq met many teammates and good brothers whom he had said, but because of Van Gaal, there are not many "old" players who can start at Leeds United now. Jonny Hausen, Nelson Oliveira, Messe Fursarico, and the only three of the eleven starting players of the "Youth Guards" are known to him. However, the seven people on the bench list are familiar to Shaq, such as Ronegan, Pivkovsky, John Fleck, Ben Parker, Tevez, Banetta, and Carutzo. They now have the substitute seven roster.
When Shaq was in a complicated mood, he looked at his opponent wearing a white jersey beside him, Jonny Hausen, Simesen, and Nelson Oliveira came over to say hello to him.
Nelson Oliveira smiled shyly and raised her hand to say hello: "Hi, Shaq!"
Mei Fersarico walked up and patted Shaq's arm hard: "Shake, don't hold back later! Hehe, I want to see how strong you are now!"
"Man, we're meeting again!" Jonny Hausen came up and gave Shaq a hug, whispered in his ear: "Do me a favor and completely break Leeds's defense!"
ah!?
Shaq couldn't help but be stunned, almost unable to believe what he heard. Jonny Hausen, the captain of Leeds, actually wanted to break through Leeds' defense line by himself!?
After thinking a little, Shaq suddenly understood what was going on. It seems that Jonny Hausen, the Leeds captain, must have really encountered the "clothes room crisis" mentioned by the media. Look at the starting lineup of Leeds United and then look at their substitute lineup. It is obvious that the "old" players of Leeds United have lost their power!
But... Didn't the "Young Guards" change their coach just now? Could it be that Laudrup also prefers new players who have only joined this season!?
Shaq was full of doubts, worried about his old friends' situation at Leeds United, which also affected his performance after the start of the game.
The "Young Guards" who played at home launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up. Lavic on the right was beaten by Jose when dribbled the ball. Angel removed the baseline, and Leeds United won a corner kick 2 minutes into the game. Although the header of the Danish central defender Kyar was saved by De Gea, the home team also took the lead in completing the first attack.
Turning around, when Gansu dribbled the ball from the left, he was intercepted by Metz Fursarico with a decisive tackle. While the ball flew into the middle, the Brazilian star was also knocked down on the lawn, and what made Gansu even more depressed was that... the ball did not foul.
Shaq, who had already run over, quickly turned around and grabbed the ball, but he had just made the ball well, and a white figure slid over from the right side against the grass!
Shaq quickly stepped on the ball with his right foot, which was also his unique ball protection movement. Many times, relying on his strength advantage, Shaq can achieve his goal of controlling the ball himself.
But this time... Shaq miscalculated!
Because this Leeds player has been teammates with him for a few days, he has only transferred from Manchester United to Leeds United's Phil Jones this season!
"Dong!"
The strong Phil Jones shoveled the ball out of Shaq's feet!
Dutch black star Wijnaldum retreated and received the ball, then passed the ball to Hamshik on the left, who passed the ball to Captain Leeds on the left, Jonny Hausen quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Nelson Oliveira's feet.
The Portuguese striker leaned against Papadopoulos with his body, and put the ball horizontally with his left foot. Wijnaldum, who followed up from behind, dribbled the ball into Manchester United's big **.
"Bang!"
"Dong!"
Wijnaldum shot with anger and was blocked by De Gea, who was in good standing...
Simon Grayson off the court frowned. This Leeds United team really made him feel unfamiliar, but it is undeniable that the team's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the players Van Gaal bought are indeed powerful. If he hadn't been too impatient to let two major factions appear in the Leeds United locker room, he might not have been fired after coaching the team for half a season.
But... what is Shaq thinking!?
As Shaq's enlightenment mentor, Simon Grayson really knows this kid very well. He found that after the game started, Shaq's attention seemed not to be very focused and failed to play his role in both offense and defense. This... is very abnormal!
In 6 minutes, Hamshik received a return pass from Wijnaldum three meters in front of Shak. Then the Slovak star suddenly accelerated and ran to the right side with the ball.
By using just the speed, Hamshik passed Flani and Subotic in succession, and drilled into Manchester United's Grand Prix from the gap between Subotic and Jose Angel...
"Bang!"
Hamshick swung his right foot and pulled the ball towards the lower left corner of Manchester United's goal!
Spain's country de Gea showed his strength as a Casillas man. As his body moved to the right, he blocked the ball with his right foot!
But the ball flew to Hamshik again. The Slovak star shot from the outside of his right foot, which ended up hitting the ball high...
"ah----"
Hamshik was so angry that he yelled at the same place. Missing such a goal opportunity really made him angry. Since he transferred from Liverpool to Leeds United for £00,000 this season, he has been used by fans to compare with Shaq.
The result is... Hamshik is completely defeated!
Hamshik has played 25 games for Leeds United this season, scoring 7 goals and assisting 8 times. This performance is actually very outstanding for a midfielder, but...he is helpless. Hamshik himself doesn't think he has performed better than Shaq, because that ** has scored 63 goals and assisted 13 times in 32 games he played for Manchester United!
In other words, the number of goals scored by nine Hamshik is equal to Shaq. Even Hamshik's proud passes and assists are worse than Shaq, not to mention that Shaq has made great contributions to Manchester United in defense.
But as a professional player, especially those who can be called "stars", no one will willingly bow down in front of their competitors. Therefore, today's Leeds United's home game against Manchester United was regarded as a war between him and Shaq by Hamshick!
Hamshik didn't know if Shaq would score or how many goals he would score today, but he knew that he had to do his best. It was unforgivable to miss the scoring opportunity like this just now!
"I don't know if it was stimulated by Shaq. Marek seemed very excited today. The shot after the breakthrough just now was still very exciting, but unfortunately he didn't get a goal. However, Shaq seemed not in the form today. He was rarely seen in the few minutes after the opening. This is actually a good thing for us. After all, Shaq... he no longer belongs to us."
