Chapter 177: Boas Fallen on the Road (Guaranteed 1)
Chapter 177: Boas who fell on the road!
Back in Leeds, Leeds United didn't jump right into the league as the FA Cup fifth round away to Nottingham Forest and the Carabao Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur were all on the table.
There is nothing to say about the game against Nottingham Forest, Leeds United only used half the strength, with Bannetta, Jonny? Howson and Shaq's "brace" beat their old rivals in the English Championship 4-0 away from home.
Forest boss Holloway was really emotional after the game: "It's hard to imagine that Leeds, who played with us in the Championship three years ago, are now so strong! Simon and his team are creating the 'Leeds Miracle' step by step, and I am confident that with their current form, they will win at least two trophies this season. ”
Holloway's tone is a little sour, and he can't face it calmly if he is replaced, that is, three years ago, Leeds United was still competing for promotion to the Super League like Nottingham Forest, but now the "Young Guards" are already the biggest favorites for the Premier League title, Simon? Grayson has also transformed into a European coach, and his players have grown into star players one by one, but he, who has coached Nottingham Forest for six years, is still standing still.
There is even news that the "Red Devils" Manchester United have made a request to Simon? Grayson sent an invitation, hoping that he can coach Manchester United next season, you must know that it is the number one giant in English football, the infinite glory and championship heritage left by "old man" Ferguson has been defeated by Moyes this season, and the old Scottish man who has entered the board of directors can no longer give more support to his little fellow, so he can only obey the will of the people and start to choose Moyes's successor.
Simon? Grayson didn't say anything mean, but encouraged his former rival. Now his vision is different, like Nottingham Forest...... They are no longer rivals, but a good memory.
After the game against Nottingham Forest, Simon? Grayson led his team to prepare for the Carabao Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Villas-Boas have had a bit of a bit of bad luck this season, or rather Tottenham Hotspur are not a champions. Although the squad is very strong, but in fact, their performance in the league can only be said to be average, at the moment Tottenham Hotspur is ranked fifth behind Leeds United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, although it is one less game, if you win the game, you can still surpass Arsenal to rise to fourth, but this result is not much improvement compared to last year, you must know that this is the result of Boas spending 65 million pounds on the transfer market!
According to media reports, Tottenham Hotspur's chairman Daniel? Levy has decided to let Villas-Boas go at the end of the season, and last summer he wanted to pay a lot of money for Gareth. Bale sold to Real Madrid. As a result, Villas-Boas repeatedly assured that his team could win the league championship, insisted on keeping Berdo for a season, and Levy also borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank to invest in Boas, but what happened......
Levy is really very dissatisfied with Boas now!
But Boas didn't have any good way, originally he wanted to take the opportunity of the chaotic league pattern after the retirement of the "old man" to attack the championship, but he didn't think that there would be another Simon without the "old man"? Grayson, Leeds United's performance this season has been simply daunting and irresistible. The Premier League has now played 26 rounds, and Leeds United is still unbeaten with 22 wins, 4 draws and 70 points. What's even more terrifying is the team's attacking power, they scored 109 goals in two-thirds of the season, which is already the second most goals in the history of the Premier League, and the most goals were scored by the "Young Guards" last season, they scored 119 goals at the time, but that was also the result of a whole season!
Villas-Boas managed to lead his team to the Carabao Cup final. Thinking that this season would not come home empty-handed, it turned out that they met Leeds United again, and all Boas could do was to start preparing for the team early.
The current "Young Guard" is really so powerful that it is a headache, just think about their frontcourt consisting of Tevez, Pivkovsky, Jonny? An offensive lineup composed of Hausen, Shaq and others. It will make people feel irresistible, especially Shaq, who was only pushed to the forward position on January 15 this year, the performance of this monster is really daunting, in 9 games, only the first time to play in the front of the game against Arsenal did not score, and then there were goals in every game, and there were many goals, very scary...... 16 pcs!
16 goals in 9 games!
What kind of concept is this!?
With an average of 1.77 goals per game, if you take into account that Shaq will score more goals in a given game, it may be when you will have to face a volcanic eruption-like Shaq.
Leeds United has a lot of stars, but the most threatening one is definitely Shaq!
This season, Shaq has scored 32 goals and assists 10 times in 25 league games, including cup competitions and the Champions League, scoring 47 goals in 41 games, an average goal rate of more than one per game, and in the first half of the season, Shaq played a more backward midfielder, and now in the midfield position, the level of threat he brings to opponents has definitely doubled.
League Cup Final ...... Will he still score!?
As soon as Boas thought of this, he became irritated as if his heart was on fire......
On the contrary, Simon? Grayson has a happy feeling at this time, this season has played so far, the "Young Guards" have performed well on many fronts, the League Cup relied on Shaq and a group of substitutes to reach the final, then this time you have to kill Tottenham Hotspur to win the trophy, it is definitely a sin to miss the trophy in front of your nose.
So, Simon? Grayson told the players about his decision when he spoke to them...... Go all out to win the League Cup!
After listening to the manager's words, the Leeds players became more and more emotional, of course, the gold content of the League Cup championship is not high, and even the prize money for winning the championship is only 100,000 pounds, which is not much at all, but this championship trophy is no longer valued. That's a championship too, isn't it?
By the time the league finishes and lifts the league championship trophy, Leeds United can at least be called a "double"!
The "Young Guards", who were bent on winning the championship, began their performance at Wembley Stadium on March 2 in front of 90,000 fans from the start of the match.
Yes, it's a show!
From the start, Leeds United dominated the game very strongly, and they used their usual pass-and-possession combinations and movements. The game was already taken over by the first ten minutes of the game.
At 27 minutes, Leeds captain Jonny? Hausen volleyed from a tight angle in the six-yard box on the left side of Tottenham Hotspur and the ball was sent into the opposition goal from the near corner...... 1:0!
Eight minutes later, Shaq put Jonny? Hausen's shot found the empty net for Tottenham...... 2:0!
In the 45th minute, Pivkowski dribbled the ball to the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area on the right side and crossed in front of the goal, Shaq, who was outflanked from the back post, withstood the strong Tottenham Hotspur No. 30 Senegalese black defender Papa with his body, and pushed the ball into the goal with the arch of his foot from a meter in front of the goal...... 3:0!
Seeing that the team was able to extend their advantage again near the end of the first half, Simon? Grayson hugged his assistant excitedly, and he now felt more and more that his decision to push Shaq forward was too wise. Shaq's back-to-back goals are a testament to that.
Actually, Simon? Grayson also borrowed from Barcelona's tactical style of play in this, Messi is actually playing a virtual center forward in Barcelona, and although Shaq is playing as a forward at the moment, his actual role is also a virtual center, but Shaq, who is in better physical condition and has the same comprehensive skills, is more suitable for this position than Messi.
Of course Simon? Grayson is not exactly copying Barcelona's tactics, he has made a huge change in midfield, Leeds United do not have Xavi and Iniesta players who can use passes and breakthroughs from the middle to directly threaten opponents. Can Jonny? Howson's ability to break through is extremely strong, David? Bentley's passing was also extremely accurate. In particular, Shaq in the middle needs space to move, and the more space he is given to move, the greater the role Shaq can play, which is why there is now this all-conquering "Young Guard".
Leeds United's three goals have made Tottenham Hotspur lose their temper at all, and they have completely lost their confidence and fighting spirit.
Fortunately, Leeds United were not so aggressive in the second half. However, in the 62nd minute of the game, Pivkovski was tripped by Croatian defender Kolluka in the penalty area and scored a hat-trick.
When the final whistle was blown by the referee, the Wembley Stadium was full of Leeds fans cheering, although winning the League Cup was nothing, but the team was so calm and calm to beat a strong opponent like Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 4:0. The domineering shown really makes people feel like their blood is boiling.
After the game, Villas-Boas walked into the tunnel with a calm face, he knew that his coaching career at Tottenham Hotspur had come to an end. The contrast between Grayson and Grayson is so stark...... Become a king, defeat a villain!
Once upon a time, when Boas first arrived at the "Blues" Chelsea to take over Mourinho, he was also high-spirited and ambitious, but it was a pity that his only trace of circumstances at a young age ruined his new life at Stamford Bridge, and then although he regained the coaching whip at Tottenham Hotspur and began to attack the Premier League title, Villas-Boas and his senior brother Mourinho are still much worse than each other, and his lack of calm mentality made him fall on the road to success...... Perhaps one day, this young and talented Portuguese will make a comeback.
Boas is a young marshal that the fat man admires very much, but he still lacks background and his mentality is too tender...... It's really so tender! Hopefully, he'll show his talent again one day!
In addition, the addition of 120 will be more out today, and the fat man will still have more time code words on the weekend, so he won't owe money ^_^ (to be continued......)
