The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 053
053 You’re Dead This Time, Really!
At the Ellen Road Stadium, in the guest locker room.
The Allen Road guest dressing room is not as shabby as the Chelsea Stamford Bridge guest dressing room, but it is much simpler than the home dressing room. This shabby guest dressing room seems to have become a tradition in English football and a disgrace to the opponents of the home teams.
George Burley has been in England for decades. What hasn’t he seen? This kind of away dressing room had no effect on him at all.
George Burley looked at his players carefully and said: ‘There were a lot of rumours about our opponents in this game that they thought it was a bad team and had always been a professional team. And they were very young, almost all babies who were still wet behind the ears. A team like this was not enough to pose a threat to us at all!
The Derbyshire players nodded their heads. They all thought so. They felt that this game would be very easy.
George Burley’s expression instantly turned serious. “Perhaps we can easily defeat our opponent, but I hope that you all will be energetic and not underestimate your opponent. The Tiger Bunny is still going all out. I don’t want any accidents to happen in this match. You all have to show me 100% of your strength, understand?”
The Derbyshire players immediately put away their contempt and replied seriously, “I know!”
George Burley nodded with satisfaction and continued: ‘In the pre-season friendly, Leeds United played a game against Everton in the Premier League, although that game was lost. But Leeds United earned the respect of David Moyes, who claimed he underestimated them. What did this mean? It means that Leeds United still have some abilities. I hope you guys don’t take it lightly. We are determined to level up and not allow any accidents to happen. Every game and every point is very important to us!
The Derbyshire players were exceptionally serious. They were serious.
George Burley continued: “Alright, let me tell you what you should be paying attention to in this game. Defensively, I trust you. There should be no problem against a bunch of kids. Remember, don’t underestimate your opponents, I believe you can do it!”
The Derbyshire defenders nodded in agreement to complete the mission.
George Burleigh continued: “On offense we have two main directions and Leeds United have two weak points.” One was his centre-back, Gerard Pique. This kid was very young and didn’t have much first-team experience. Moreover, he was tall and tall. Turning around and chasing after him should be his weakness. Attacking this point like crazy and hitting this point like this, he had to be beaten to the point where he didn’t have confidence, you know?
The Derbyshire attackers roared, “I know!”
George Burley stared at centre-forward Lasiak and said, “Gregory Gotz, leave this baby to you. Suppress him, crush him and let him know how cruel the Professional League is. Can you do it?”
Lasiak immediately said, “Promise to complete the mission, boss!”
George Burley nodded and said: “The other weakness of Leeds United is their left-back. The Frenchman is 25 years old, but he has no reputation in France. He is not strong enough to attack this point. Then he crosses from the side and hits Peeker on the head to get Lasiak to crush Peeker. Understood?”
Compared to Leeds United veteran Gary Kelly, Chimbonda is a real weakness, at least in George Burley’s eyes.
The Derbyshire attackers looked carefully at the lines drawn on the tactical board. They instantly understood, then nodded and said, “Got it, boss!”
George Burley was very satisfied. He said, “Let me remind you one last time that the opponent is not strong, but you must give me 100% concentration and 100% strength. I will not allow any accidents to happen, understand?”
The Derbyshire players all roared in unison, “I know!”
George Burley waved his hand and shouted, “Let’s go!”
The Derbyshire players filed out and poured into the players’ passageway.
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng stood at the door of the dressing room and looked at Gary Kelly who was the first to run over. Zhong Cheng extended his right hand and gave the captain a high five.
Zhong Cheng said to Gary Kelly, “You are their big brother. Stabilize the defense and morale on the pitch!”
Gary Kelly nodded solemnly and said, “Understood, boss, don’t worry!”
With that, Gary Kelly rushed out of the dressing room like a tiger descending a mountain.
Ribery rushed over and Zhong Cheng and Ribery clapped their hands. ‘”Don’t worry, boss, I won’t tear apart the Derbyshire defensive line!” He shouted loudly as he gave Zhong Cheng a hug.
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “I look after you. Go, Frank!”
Ribery ferociously rushed out of the dressing room and rushed towards the players’ passageway.
Peak came up and Zhong Cheng immediately clapped his hands with Peak. He said, “Gerald, this is your first first-team game. Make a good start in your career. I’m looking forward to you!”
Peeker gave Zhong Cheng a hug gratefully and whispered in his ear, “Thank you, boss!”
With that, Peeker rushed out.
Modric came up and Zhong Cheng gave the little guy a hug and said, “Luca, you have to believe in yourself. You will be the best midfielder on the planet, understand?”
Modric nodded shyly and said weakly, “Boss, don’t worry, we’ll definitely do it!”
Zhong Cheng nodded and patted Modric’s back, signaling him to come out. Only then did Modric run out of the dressing room and rush into the field.
Huntelaar ran over. Zhong Cheng and Huntelaar clapped their hands and said seriously, “Remember what I said to you? Now that you’re behind your competitors, you have to get up and catch up.”
Huntelaar’s eyes narrowed as he nodded fiercely.
Zhong Cheng said, “Then let the chase begin with this match. I believe you can do it!”
Huntelaar said firmly, “Don’t worry, boss, I’ll definitely be able to do it, definitely!”
Zhong Cheng nodded at Huntelaar and patted his back. Huntelaar rushed out like a speeding sports car.
Milner, Qimbonda, Boumsong, and the others rushed over one by one. Zhong Cheng, who was standing at the gate, clapped his hands with them one by one, giving them more encouragement and confidence.
Looking at the empty dressing room, Zhong Cheng took a deep breath and said indifferently, “Now it’s your turn, Zhong Cheng!”
Zhong Cheng turned around and walked out of the dressing room, heading for the players’ passageway, heading for the future …
–Division Line–
The 39,460-seat Ellen Road Stadium was packed today, and the Leeds United market in recent years has been quite good. Almost all weekend games were packed at the Ellen Road Stadium.
Originally, everyone thought that after Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League, their home court performance would drop a lot, but what they did not expect was that the Ellen Road Stadium was actually full today.
However, there was still a strange scene on the pitch today. The Leeds United fans were still wearing their away blue jerseys instead of their home white jerseys. The entire Ellen Road Stadium was different from the previous white ocean, completely turning into a blue ocean.
This was the case in Leeds United’s airport warm-up game, where the fans came to protest and protest against Madman Roja. They were unusually united today, and they were coming with a fierce momentum.
Hasheb Hussein and his companions sat in their ticket seats and looked around.
“There are so many people here today!”
“Isn’t it good for like-minded people to come?” Dick O ‘Connor looked around and saw so many people. His eyes flashed with excitement and he couldn’t help but shout, “Madman Loria, you’re dead today! You’re dead! Hahaha!”
Shazad Tanville glanced indifferently at Resistance O ‘Connor, and then followed suit, “The madman is dead for sure today.”
Dick O ‘Connor said excitedly, “There are so many of us, are we afraid we won’t be able to flip over a Madman Loria? Look, that damn lunatic won’t be in that position for long. He’s going to fuck off for me soon, hahaha!”
Hasheb Hussein said weakly, “What if Madman Loria wins this match?”
Dick O ‘Connor immediately turned his head and glared at Hasheb Hussein, reprimanding him, “Win, that’s what you deserve! But even if he wins, he has to scram for me. Leeds United doesn’t need a lunatic!”
Derbyshire fans came from afar wearing white home shirts today, forming a small white ocean in the stands on one side, which was ironic for Leeds United.
–Division Line–
At this moment, Zhong Cheng, who was wearing a white Armani suit, walked out of the players’ passageway, causing everyone present to be stunned.
Zhong Cheng, who was wearing a white suit, was very eye-catching in the crowd, making people notice him at a glance.
Everyone in the stands was stunned. Zhong Cheng was too slutty.
The female fans in the stands were instantly overwhelmed by Zhong Cheng’s image of Prince Charming, and their addicted sisters cried out excitedly, “Roja, you’re so handsome! Roja, I love you! Roja, look here!”
A beautiful fan not far from Dick O ‘Connor said coquettishly, “Ah! So handsome, they’re all completely trapped. Ah, Roja, I love you!”
Dick O ‘Connor’s expression changed and he was incomparably furious. He immediately led the fans around him to shout, “Down with Madman Loria! Madman Loria, scram!”
–Division Line–
The familiar shouts and curses echoed in his ears. Zhong Cheng’s face was gloomy, and he ignored them. He went straight to the guest dressing room, arrived in front of George Burley, extended his right hand to George Burley, and said, “Mr. George Burley, welcome to the Ellen Road Courtyard.”
George Bailey glanced at Zhong Cheng and then extended his right hand. His arrogant attitude was obvious. This made Zhong Cheng extremely angry. His eyes tightened and anger surged in his heart.
Seeing George Burley slowly stretching out his right hand like a charity, Zhong Cheng coldly snorted and abruptly retracted his right hand. He ignored George Burley and directly turned around to leave.
Looking at his right hand stagnating in the wind, George Burley’s face was flushed red and his anger surged. He shouted in his heart, “Damn it, how dare he?”
George Burley was furious. He stared at Zhong Cheng’s back like a flame and shouted in a low voice, “Damn madman, you’re doomed!”
