The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 054
054 The Young Centre-Back
Gerrard Pique, dressed in No. 5 shirt, appeared at Ellen Road and stood at centre-back. This was not the first time he had stood at the Ellen Road Stadium, but today it gave him a new feeling.
It was a special day for him.
It was his first time in a first-team professional league and he was not wearing a Barcelona shirt.
If he had stayed in Barcelona, how could he have made it to the first team so quickly? All of this was because of a person, a person who had changed his career trajectory.
Peeker turned his head and looked to the side of the field.
As if he was telepathic, Zhong Cheng turned to look at Pick.
Seeing Peeker’s gaze, Zhong Cheng smiled and gave Peeker a thumbs up, nodding firmly.
Pick smiled sweetly at the leader’s actions and nodded firmly at Zhong Cheng. His heart was filled with confidence.
Pique was very grateful to the boss in front of him for giving him the chance to play in the first team he had always dreamed of and for giving him a place at centre-back from the start.
He was very young, and this was bound to become an excuse for the media reporters to attack the leader.
He was very young. Those teammates on the team who were older than him and more experienced than him might not be convinced. They would definitely question the boss’s arrangements!
However, the head still chose him. How much pressure did the head have to withstand to support him?
Female for oneself face, knight for bosom friend die!
Pick looked at the Derbyshire goal and said firmly in his heart, “We must not lose face to the boss. We must live up to his trust!”
Come on!
My first professional league game!
–Division Line–
Along with Pique, there were also Las Diarra, Ribery, Modric and other young players. They were very excited and happy to be able to stand in this first team position today, but their hearts were filled with gratitude, because before this, their situation was very difficult, and there were no balls to play.
Before this, most of them were unknown. There were really too many players like them all over the world. They were like a drop of water in the sea, like a grain of sand in the Sahara.
It was Zhong Cheng who pulled them out of the sea and out of the Sahara, giving them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their hearts were filled with gratitude.
At the same time, they all knew how much pressure Zhong Cheng had put on them to start the match. For them, Zhong Cheng was called crazy by the fans and the media. Their hearts were filled with anger and resentment.
Today, they must justify Zhong Cheng’s name and let everyone know how powerful Zhong Cheng was!
Ribery and the others revealed, their eyes fixed firmly on the Derbyshire goal as they shouted in their hearts, “Come on! Let’s fight! All of you, open your eyes wide and see how we can shatter all doubts!”
–Division Line–
“Leeds United’s home game against Derbyshire is the opening game of the Champions League this season. This game has attracted a lot of attention and Madman Loria has officially stepped onto the stage of the Champions League. May I know what kind of performance he has today?” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.
“I don’t know what he did, but he’s famous now. I know. Look at what kind of lineup he started. There are better choices on the team. Why did he start these brats who have no professional experience? What is he doing in Madman Loria?” Eddie Gray, the commentator for the BBC, was furious.
Looking at Leeds United’s starting lineup, Gary Lineker smiled bitterly.
“Yes, his formation appeared in a number of young players who do not have professional league experience. Franck Ribery, who knew who he was before he came to Leeds? A player who played in an amateur league in France actually started in such an important game. Madman Loria was indeed crazy. “Also, Las Diarra, a skinny little fellow, appeared at such a crucial back seat. Madman Loria, are you sure his small body can withstand a Derbyshire attack?” Gary Lineker said in an exaggerated tone.
Eddie Gray couldn’t help but say, “What’s even more irritating is that Madman Roja has given his place at centre-back to a 17-year-old, a guy who doesn’t even have a minute’s worth of experience in a first-team professional game.” The position of centre-back is very important, experience is very important, this crazy Roja, how dare to use this little doll? “Are you courting death?”
Then it was Eddie Gray of Leeds United who dared to directly question Zhong Cheng.
–Division Line–
“He is indeed a madman, idiot!” Bradley Wilson in the press gallery was very happy and excited. Zhong Cheng was simply courting death.
Bradley Wilson seemed to have seen the endless ridicule, doubt, and abuse surging towards Zhong Cheng after the match. When he thought of this, he felt incomparably comfortable, his entire body comfortable, as if every pore was emitting a comfortable aura.
In such an important match, he actually arranged for such a brat to start. Madman Loria’s crazy actions once again refreshed everyone’s understanding of madness.
Bradley Wilson proudly said to his fellow travellers, “See how heaven and earth it is, how ignorant it is, how ignorant it is? Such a lunatic, this match will definitely be blocked by Derbyshire!”
‘”Yeah, he’s really stupid. But it’s good for us. After the game, we have more things to write. We can also curse crazily and release the pressure on us. Hahaha! To us, Madman Loria is really a good person! Hey, crazy good person, hahaha!”
“No wonder he was so madly criticized by his fans. If I were a Leeds United fan, I would have strangled him to death. This damn lunatic is crazy! He is the craziest lunatic of the century, absolutely!”
Previously, the media reporters who had criticized Zhong Cheng, led by Bradley Wilson, ridiculed and humiliated Zhong Cheng for fun. Their words were incomparably vicious.
Kelly Fox’s mood was complicated. “How can you be so bold and crazy? Is Leeds United really finished?”
–Division Line–
The game had already begun, and Derbyshire came from afar to beat Leeds United’s goal with a tidal wave of attacks.
The fierce tides were like the surging waters of the East China Sea that the Dragon King had flooded with rage from Chen Tangguan, and the Qiantang River water that Bai Suzhen had borrowed from the Golden Mountain Temple poured down from tens of meters high. They ferociously and aggressively slammed onto the temple on the city wall, causing the sky to be filled with water mist and surging waves.
Leeds United’s goal seemed to be in jeopardy, and Pique had become a night boat in a vast ocean, as if it could be capsized at any moment.
From the start of the game until now, Pique had suffered endless shocks.
The Derbyshire players followed the instructions of head coach George Burleigh and attacked this brat like Pique. All of their players were like tides, taking turns attacking Pique.
Everyone at the scene broke out in cold sweat for Pick.
“Young Pique looks a little panicked. He managed to defend against Adam Peter’s breakthrough just now, but he barely managed to. Adam Peter almost broke through, if not for his long legs!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.
Ten minutes after the start of the game, Pique was almost shapeless from the impact. His white shirt had already been dyed with sweat and dirt.
In these ten minutes, Peak was in a very sorry state. Almost everyone thought that Peak was about to collapse. After receiving two shocks, Peak was about to collapse.
On the sidelines, George Burley looked at all of this with a smile on his face. He then turned to look at Zhong Cheng with a mocking smile on his face.
Zhong Cheng, dressed in a white suit, stood upright on the sidelines, his hands crossed over his chest, and his expression unchanged.
Zhong Cheng stared at Pick on the pitch and muttered to himself, “Pick, can you hold on? I hope you won’t disappoint me! I believe you, you can!”
Bradley Wilson and all the media reporters scoffed at Zhong Cheng, believing that the madman Roja was simply trying his best not to accept the cruel reality.
“Hmph! Are you dumbfounded? Damn madman, this is the end of your fight with this daddy. Hahaha, wait, there will be even more ferocious questions and roars waiting for you after the match!” Bradley Wilson sneered.
–Division Line–
Again, Derbyshire’s attack.
Adam Peter, a four-year Premier League technical midfielder, has rushed to Leeds United centre-back Gerard Pique with football.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on this place. They seemed to be saying that Peak was doomed this time. This time, he was doomed.
Peeker, whose forehead was dripping with sweat, stared fixedly at Adam Peter in front of him. He roared in his heart, “You must guard against it, you must not embarrass the boss, you must not!”
“Adam! My dear Adam, get rid of him! Wreak havoc on the little brat in front of you! Get him back in his mother’s arms and drink milk! Hahaha!” Derbyshire fans screamed with excitement as they cheered on Adam Peter and stimulated Pick.
Adam Peter slowly drove the ball forward. He gently moved the football to the right on the inside of his right foot and slowly put pressure on Pique.
Pique was a young player, so he definitely couldn’t stand this kind of provocation. He was impulsive and could easily reach out to grab it.
Adam Peter was waiting for this opportunity!
Suddenly, Pick’s left shoulder sank and he moved. Adam Peter ridiculed in his heart, “It’s really young and impulsive. To dare to start just like that, the Leeds coach is crazy, a complete lunatic!”
Adam Peter’s right foot came to the outside of the football and he gently shook his ankle. He swiftly moved the football to the left of his body and immediately changed direction. A Matthews step passed.
Adam Peter was confident that it was as easy to pass Peak as it was to pass a wooden stake.
But as soon as he went out of the soccer field, he knew that he was wrong and that he had been tricked!
Peeker actually came first and changed directions, blocking his Adam Peter trail. The football was gently pushed forward by Pique and quickly rolled past him, Adam Peter, behind him.
Adam Peter’s expression changed drastically, and anger rose in his eyes. He was actually tricked by a little brat. Damn, damn brat, you will definitely pay a heavy price.
“Ah! Pique! Young Pique blocked Adam Peter. It was a beautiful pass. It could be said to be without a blade. It was a good defense this time!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng fiercely waved his fist.
Good job, Gerald!
