The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 057
057 The Scheming Madman Roja
The second half of the game began and Leeds United substituted.
Zhong Cheng used Albertini to replace Modric at the front waist. This was to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Leeds United’s formation had changed to 4-4-2, with Russ Diarra and Albertini dragging on, Ribery and Milner moving forward, Huntelaar and Olic still at the front.
However, in Zhong Cheng’s tactics, Oli ć ‘s position had to be delayed a bit, and he even had to join the defense of the midfield. At this time, Oli ć was more like a front waist or number nine and a half.
Oli ć was a very active player who didn’t hesitate to run. He was also a striker with good intercepting and stealing abilities. He was a defender on the frontlines. This was very suitable for Leeds United’s current tactics. Therefore, Zhong Cheng still relied heavily on him.
Perhaps Olic won’t score many goals at Leeds, but his tactical role is indispensable.
Olic’s presence not only strengthened Leeds’ defense and overall oppression, but also freed Huntelaar completely and provided cover for Huntelaar.
At this moment, Olich pounced like a mad dog on Heddlestone, who was holding the ball.
Olich might not be able to break the football under Hurdlestone’s feet, but he stuck to Hurdlestone and kept interfering, making it difficult for Hurdlestone to play comfortably, let alone organize an attack.
The young Hurdlestone was extremely annoyed by Olich, as if he could no longer control his rage.
However, Derbyshire were still attacking sharply at the start of the second half.
“Leeds United probably won’t have a chance today. They can’t even organise a decent attack from the start of the second half until now. After Albertini went on stage, he was more focused on defense. The ferocious attack from Derbyshire had suppressed Leeds United to the point where they were completely unable to move. “If we don’t change it, Leeds United will be doomed!” Said Gary Lineker.
“That’s right. It’s been a tough time for Leeds. It’s also very important. Leeds should make adjustments as soon as possible. Otherwise, there won’t be a chance for this game!” Mark Lawrenson said.
“Humph! You think too highly of Madman Loria. He knows nothing about adjustments. I don’t think he can even see the situation on the pitch clearly. This guy is a disaster. Sooner or later, Leeds United will be destroyed by him, damn lunatic!” Eddie Gray still had a lot of resentment towards Zhong Cheng.
In the press gallery, Bradley Wilson was very straightforward. It had been a long time since he felt as good as he did today. It was even better than a pair of twin sisters.
Hahaha, Madman Loria, you’re doomed this time!
–Division Line–
Ten minutes had passed since the second half of the match, but Zhong Cheng still hadn’t made any adjustments.
On the scene, Leeds United were still passively defending. Although Leeds United seemed to be defending well, they didn’t give Derbyshire much of a chance. However, Leeds United are lagging behind now. No matter how well you defend and don’t give your opponents any chances in the following matches, you Leeds United will still lose at the end of the match.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were furious and cursed at Zhong Cheng crazily.
Dick O ‘Connor shouted crazily, “Madman Roja, you fucking die! Wait for me, if you don’t leave Leeds United, I’ll drive your whole family out of Leeds United and fuck off!”
Dick O ‘Connor and the others were sitting in the stands behind the coaching stand. Zhong Cheng could clearly hear what this fellow said.
In addition to the frenzied criticisms of the Leeds United fans, there were also mocking sounds from Derbyshire fans that surged towards Zhong Cheng, like a tidal wave.
Zhong Cheng was still standing calmly on the sidelines. The current situation was not bad for Leeds United. The Derbyshire people slowly pushed forward, and now they were pushing too close. Zhong Cheng was waiting for an opportunity, a fatal counterattack.
At this moment, Leeds United was like a King Eyeglasses hibernating in the grass, observing the enemy’s movements, waiting for an excellent opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.
Looking at the situation on the court, Zhong Cheng knew that this opportunity was getting closer and closer.
–Division Line–
“Did you see that? I told you that this lunatic is a complete piece of shit. He can’t even understand the basic situation on the field. He even adjusted, adjusted his eggs!” Eddie Gray said angrily. He wished he could give Zhong Cheng two big mouths. He was so angry that I was going to die.
“Hey, it’s broken. Leeds United midfielder’s broken!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“What’s the use of stealing a ball? How many times has Leeds United intercepted it since the second half? Is it useful?” Eddie Gray said with hatred in his heart.
“Ah, long pass counterattack, Albertini’s precise long pass, Derbyshire is in danger!” Mark Lawrenson suddenly cried out in shock, startling Eddie Gray. He immediately looked at the field and was instantly shocked.
Three versus two in the front court!
A long kick flew to the side, and the French brat Ribery rushed forward and chased after the football. Olich in the middle and Milner in the right stabbed forward like two sharp daggers into the heart of Derbyshire.
Derbyshire were very close because of the onslaught and now only had the last two centre backs left in their half. Danger, very dangerous.
The Derbyshire fans gasped.
This change happened so quickly that everyone was dumbfounded.
Ribery easily stopped the football on the side, in front of him was the entire Hu Rumble Prairie. He spread his legs and crazily moved the ball forward, cutting into the middle, pressing down on the opponent’s defence.
The Derbyshire centre-backs are one tall and one fast, with Mohammed Konitz, who is 190cm in length, staying in the centre to defend Olich. Michael Johnson, who was 180cm long, rushed up to intercept Ribery. If he didn’t intercept him, Ribery would have been able to shoot himself.
Looking at Michael Johnson arriving, Ribery suddenly gave a curved pass and the football quickly leapt over Olich and Konitz and flew towards James Milner, who was at the back.
Konitz immediately turned around and rushed forward. Milner pushed the ball back into the forbidden area.
Huntelaar, who had been hiding in the second line, was unreasonable. He shot the ball angrily and the football flew into the upper right corner of the goal like an unloaded cannonball.
Lee Grant couldn’t react and watched the ball enter the net.
The entire Ellen Road Stadium was as deathly silent as a cemetery.
“Beautiful! Good job!” On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng was very excited. He jumped up excitedly and rushed out abruptly. At the sidelines, he knelt down in celebration with passion, leaving behind two deep sliding marks on the turf.
The Leeds United bench was boiling. The substitutes stood up and screamed excitedly. The jubilation here was in stark contrast to the silence of the entire stadium.
–Division Line–
“Unbelievable! Unbelievable! When almost everyone thought Leeds United didn’t have a chance, they hit us all in the face with an ultra-fast counterattack. It was really too fast, the whole process seemed to only take a few tens of seconds. The goal was really unsaid, too sharp!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed, extremely excited.
“The Leeds counterattack was really fast and wonderful, but what surprised me even more was the strength of the Leeds defence. They’ve been defending since the second half, but they haven’t given the Derbyshire players a chance, which shows how strong Leeds United are. In my opinion, all of this was premeditated. All of this was premeditated by Madman Loria. It was precisely because he had such a strong defense that Madman Loria was indifferent to the situation just now. He was paralyzing Derbyshire. He was waiting, waiting for Derbyshire to press down heavily, waiting for a fatal chance to strike. He had waited, the madman had waited! “Oh my God, what a scheming fellow he is!” Cried Gary Lineker.
Hearing the cries of his two companions, Eddie Gray felt that his face was burning. It was an invisible slap to the face. Eddie Gray’s old face was flushed red.
In the press gallery, Bradley Wilson’s face was also burning. Especially under the gazes of his peers, Bradley Wilson even had the thought of digging a hole in the ground.
Damn it, damn it, it’s all because of fucking crazy Roja! Crazy Roja, I swear I won’t stand against you!
Bradley Wilson stared fiercely at Zhong Cheng’s back and swore.
George Burley watched all of this in astonishment, his body trembling slightly, and he was actually plotted by the madman himself. George Burley’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, “Good boy, how scheming, how scheming!”
–Division Line–
“I lost the ball! Leeds United lost the ball again!” Mark Lawrenson suddenly exclaimed.
In midfield, Adam Peter missed a pass under Leeds United’s high pressure. Las Diarra broke the football as he swept through the crowd. Las Diarra is a pure defensive player and has little offensive talent.
Las Diarra’s job is to intercept the opponents, cut off the football and pass it to Albertini or Modric as soon as possible, leaving the football to them.
Russ Diarra did the job perfectly and the football rolled under Albertini’s feet not far from him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Albertini showed off his perverted long-range passing ability to the crowd. The football flew rapidly towards Ribery, who was inserted in front of the winger, just like the last Leeds counterattack.
The only change was the four versus three front court.
Derbyshire have a full-back left behind to defend against Ribery’s onslaught.
Jeff Kenner, the captain of Derbyshire and an experienced veteran.
However, Ribery scored a single shot, sped up crazily, and exploded Jeff Kenner with his speed, rendering Jeff Kenner’s rich experience useless.
“Heavens, how could he be so fast? Could it be that this Scar Face is a hundred meters tall? My God, it’s too fast! It’s as fast as a bolt of lightning!” It was not the first time he had seen Ribery’s speed, but Mark Lawrenson still cried out in surprise.
The people of Derbyshire were so shocked that they were speechless.
After breaking through to Jeff Kenner, Ribery faced Michael Johnson again. Ribery pretended to be the bottom and used a rhythmic change to cut in horizontally, rushing past Michael Johnson and facing goalkeeper Lee Grant with a single knife.
Ribery’s right foot curled into an arc and shot into the far corner.
The soccer ball drew a beautiful arc, circling the side-pouncing Lee Grant and spinning into the far corner.
A dragon on Ribery’s left side ravaged Derbyshire.
2-1, Leeds United bypassed the score!
