Chapter Thirty-Seven: This Is War!

Fans of any team have mixed feelings about their former hero returning to play at his old club after a transfer, when Leeds fans see Simon outside the Elland Road stadium? When Grayson and Shaq sat in the Manchester United bus, their mood was also quite entangled, both reverence for the heroes in their hearts in the past, and resentment in the face of today's hostility.

As Shaq sat in the bus and waved to the fans holding his portraits, the Leeds United fans erupted in cheers......

"Shaq! Sark! Sark! ”

"Shaq! Come back! Come back! ”

"Shaq! We love you! We love you forever! ”

Although Schak also scored two goals against Leeds United at home to Leeds United, few Leeds fans have seen it with their own eyes, and their current impression of Shaq is still stuck in the moment when he attacked for his team last season.

It's just that I don't know if Shaq will still be a hero in the hearts of Leeds fans after this game......

Simon? One of the hallmarks of Grayson's side is that he doesn't need to say much in his pre-match set-up, as the players already know how to play.

In the past few years, step by step, after the "solar system tactics" were formed, there was basically no need for him to arrange anything more before the game, this "solar system tactics" is quite complicated to say, and it is actually very simple to say simple, it is nothing more than playing all kinds of matches around Shaq on the basis of ball control.

The "TIKI-TAKA" tactics at the peak of Barcelona also revolved around Messi, but Messi and Shaq are much worse than their personal abilities, and the running range, endurance, and defensive weaknesses all determine that Messi cannot make his figure all over the field like Shak, Shaq can rush up when attacking, and he can withdraw when defending, but Messi can only rush up when attacking. When defending...... Please ignore the "little fleas".

This season's "Red Devils" and the previous "Young Guards" both use Shaq to attack or contain the opponent's defense line when attacking, and also rely on Shaq to complete the first interception when defending, and both offense and defense have a strong dependence on Shak.

SO THERE IS STILL A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SOLAR SYSTEM TACTICS" AND "TIKI-TAKA".

In the away dressing room, Simon? Grayson's face was serious: "Boys, I know the outside world has been arguing for a long time. It's all about me and Shaq coming back to Elland Road to face our old club, but what I want to say here is that I'm a professional football coach, you are professional players, and our professionalism requires us to be responsible for our own team, not for the team we used to play, so ...... Just go on the field and win! ”

Manchester United's stars nodded silently, but Shaq was in a rather complicated mood at this time, entering the visiting dressing room at Elland Road for the first time. It made him feel very unaccustomed, this feeling...... Very uncomfortable.

In the tunnel of players, Shaq met many former teammates and good brothers, but because of Van Gaal, there are not many "old" players who can still start at Leeds United. Hausen, Nelson? Oliveira, prunes? Vrsariko, among the starting eleven of the "Young Guard", only these three people are known to him, but the seven people on the substitute list are all familiar to Shaq. Such as Roneckan, Pivkovsky, John? Fleck, Ben? Parker, Tevez, Barnetta, Caruzo, they now have a seven-man bench.

When Shaq looked at the opponent in the white jersey next to him with mixed feelings. Johnny? Hausen, prunes, Nelson? Oliveira and the three of them came over to greet him.

Nelson? Oliveira smiled shyly and raised his hand to say hello, "Hi, Shaq! ”

Prunes? Vrsarico stepped up and patted Shaq's arm vigorously: "Shaq, wait a minute, don't leave your hands!" Hehe, I want to see how strong you are now! ”

"Man, we're meeting again!" Johnny? Hausen came up and gave Shaq a hug. He whispered in his ear: "Do me a favor and break through Leeds' backline!" ”

Yes!?

Shaq was stunned, barely believing what he had heard, Jonny? Hausen, the captain of Leeds, actually wants to penetrate Leeds' defense by himself!?

Shaq, who was a little simple-minded, pondered for a while, and suddenly understood what was going on. It seems that Jonny? Hausen, the Leeds captain, should really have suffered from what the media said about the "locker room crisis", look at Leeds United's starting lineup, and then look at their substitute lineup, it is obvious that Leeds United's "old" players have lost ground!

However...... didn't the "Young Guard" just change their coach, could it be that Laudrup is also inclined to those new players who have only joined this season!?

Shaq's mind was full of questions, and he was very worried about the situation of his old friends at Leeds United, which also affected his performance after the start of the game.

The "Young Guards", who were playing at home, launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, and Ravic on the right was beaten by Jose when he was dribbling the ball. Angel cleared the line and Leeds United won a corner two minutes into the game, and although Danish centre-back Kjaer's header was saved by De Gea, the home side were the first to finish the first goal.

Turning his head, Ganso broke through with the ball on the left side, but was defeated by Prune? Vrsariko intercepted a decisive tackle that flew down the middle of the pitch and the Brazilian was brought down the turf and, to the frustration of Ganso...... This ball is not fouled.

Shaq, who had already run over, hurriedly turned around to grab the ball, but he had just put the ball well, and a white figure slid over from the right side against the turf!

Shaq hurriedly stepped on the ball with his right foot, which is also his unique ball protection action, and many times relying on the advantage of strength, Shaq can achieve his goal of controlling the ball.

But this time...... Shaq miscalculated!

Because the Leeds player has been teammates with him for a few days, and only moved from Manchester United to Leeds United this season? Jones!

"Boom!"

Phil with a strong build? Jones, shovel the ball out of Shaq's feet!

Dutch black star Wijnaldum dropped back to receive the ball and then passed it to Hamsik on the left, who in turn distributed the ball to Leeds captain on the left, Jonny? Hausen quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Crossed the ball to Nelson? At the feet of Oliveira.

The Portuguese striker leaned on Papadopoulos with his body and flicked the ball sideways with his left foot, and Wijnaldum, who followed up from behind, rushed into the United penalty area.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

Wijnaldum fired a shot that was blocked by De Gea, who was well positioned......

Simon off the field? Grayson frowned when he looked at it, this Leeds United team did feel strange to him, but it was undeniable that this team was not weak in combat. Van Gaal's buying of these players is indeed quality, and if he hadn't been too impatient to let two major factions appear in the Leeds United dressing room, perhaps he would not have been sacked after half a season in charge.

But...... What was Shaq thinking!?

As Shaq's mentor, Simon? Grayson knew the kid so well that he noticed that after the game started, Shaq didn't seem to be very focused, and he couldn't play his role in both offense and defense, which ...... It's abnormal!

Six minutes later, Hamshik received Wijnaldum's return pass three metres in front of Shaq. Then the Slovak star suddenly accelerated and ran diagonally to the right with the ball.

Just using speed, Hamshik passed Flanei and Subotic in a row, and from Subotic and Jose? Angel slipped into the United penalty area......

"Bang!"

Hamshik picked up his right foot and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the United goal!

Spain international De Gea showed his quality as Casillas' successor, and as he moved to the right, he used his right foot to block the ball back!

But the ball flew to Hamšik again, and the Slovakian star volleyed in with the outside of his right foot. As a result, the ball was hit high......

"Ahh

Hamshik roared in anger as he threw his back in the air, and he was furious that he had missed such a goalscoring opportunity. Since moving to Leeds United from Liverpool for £42.5 million this season, he has been compared to Shaq by fans.

It turned out to be ...... Hamshik is defeated!

Hamsik has played 25 games for Leeds United this season, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists, which is a great performance for a midfielder, but ...... Helplessly, Hamshik himself didn't feel that he was better than Shaq. Because that pervert has already scored 63 goals and provided 13 assists in 32 games for Manchester United!

In other words, nine Hamshik can only score the same number of goals as Shaq, and even Hamsik's proud passes and assists are much worse than Shaq, not to mention that Shaq has also made a huge contribution to Manchester United in defense.

Available as a professional player. In particular, no one who can be called a "star" will be willing to bow down in front of his rivals, so today's match between Leeds United and Manchester United is seen by Hamsik as a ...... between him and Shaq War!

Hamsik didn't know if Shaq would score today, how many goals he would score, but he knew he had to give it his all, and it was unforgivable to miss such a scoring opportunity!

"I don't know if it was stimulated by Shaq, Malek looked very excited today, and the shot after the breakthrough just now was still very exciting, but unfortunately he didn't score a goal. However, Shaq didn't seem to be in shape today, and he was rarely seen in the next few minutes after the opening, which is actually a good thing for us, after all, Shaq ...... He doesn't belong to us anymore. ”

In the stands, Bierhoff still looked in good spirits, standing with his hands on the railing in front of him, watching the progress of the game, and he was one of those desperate for Leeds United to beat Manchester United, because he needed to prove his choice right with this victory, even if it turned out that he let Simon go for money? Grayson and Shaq were wrong, but it is undeniable that the Young Guards are worth more money now than they were last season, and it would be perfect if they could still win this campaign.
