The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 077
077 One of Us Is a Genius
When Huntelaar scored the second goal, the reporters in the press gallery knew that there was no suspense in this match.
Leeds United will win at home.
This was something that media reporters did not want to see, because the result was that they were beaten in the face, and they were beaten in the face fiercely.
Before the game, countless media reporters supported Coventry. Of course, they were not fans of Coventry, let alone Peter Reed. They just couldn’t stand Leeds United’s madman Roja.
In the pre-match reports, they all vowed that Leeds United would continue their previous defeat and continue to lose, never to turn around.
But now, Coventry was defeated by Leeds United.
What was this if it wasn’t a slap in the face?
The reporters in the press gallery all had ugly expressions. When Leeds United scored the second goal, the press gallery was silent. The atmosphere was extremely depressing. The entire Ellen Road Stadium was silent. Only a small portion of Leeds United fans were cheering and shouting Huntelaar’s name.
Bradley Wilson’s complexion became even uglier.
If it was in the past, he would definitely say that Tama’s luck was dog shit. However, he knew that he could not say that now. Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it, this was indeed strength.
If, by force, it was luck, he, Bradley Wilson, would be sprayed into dog shit by the fans.
Bradley Wilson stared at Madman Loria on the pitch and thought, “How did this 22-year-old do it? How could he beat Leeds United like this?”
Bradley Wilson did not understand, but he knew that he had lost again this time! He, Bradley Wilson, was once again slapped in the face by Madman Loria.
Bradley Wilson looked at Zhong Cheng with a gloomy gaze.
Little brat, it’s just a temporary gain and loss, don’t be so arrogant. Now, you can go all out. At the end of the season, I will make you fall miserably and shatter your bones!
–Division Line–
Leeds United beat Coventry 2-0 at home to win their fifth Champions League game of the season at Ellen Road and scored 15 points in an instant.
The result pushed Leeds to second place in the Premier League.
Number one Ipswich, they now have 16 points, one point ahead of Leeds United. Leeds United and Athletics Wigan scored 15 points, but Leeds United scored more goals and came in second. Stoke City are fourth with 14 points and keep an eye on second place in the Premier League. Then there were Plymouth and West Ham, who finished fifth and sixth with 13 points, which was the situation in the leveling area.
However, Reading, Watford and Sheffield United clenched their fists, and the top six rankings could change dramatically at any time. And the league is just beginning, the teams have plenty of opportunities.
At the press conference after the match, Zhong Cheng did not see Bradley Wilson. This fellow escaped early again, and Zhong Cheng immediately felt that it was meaningless!
Zhong Cheng told reporters: “Who told us before the game that we would lose all the time. We have no chance of winning the game? How is it? Is it painful to get hit in the face?”
The expressions of the reporters below instantly changed. They were extremely ugly. This damned madman is simply too hateful. He’s actually so ungraceful! Damn it!
Zhong Cheng ignored the reporters and continued, “I would like to thank Mr. Peter Reed for his comments before the game and for the valuable three points he gave us. I hope that Mr. Peter Reed will keep his good style and give us three points next time. Thank you!”
Peter Reed’s face was flushed red and he was furious!
Peter Reed’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Zhong Cheng. He wished he could chop Zhong Cheng up and feed him to the dog. This damned fellow actually dared to humiliate him like this!
Liz United’s Ribery also told a post-match press conference: “Before the game, who said I was only an amateur?” I scored again in this game, an extremely easy goal. Could it be that the Champions League is not even comparable to the amateur league in your eyes? Then is the Premier League an amateur league? It turns out that England’s football standard is so low. I really saw it today!
“Arrogant! Arrogant to the extreme! I don’t know how powerful the world is after scoring one or two goals. I’m proud of myself! Damn it, damn it!” The reporters below criticized Ribery in an instant. “Arrogant! Arrogant to the extreme!”
Ribery and the others simply ignored this group of fellows and directly left with a flick of their sleeves!
–Division Line–
After the game, the media reporters deliberately exaggerated Zhong Cheng and Ribery’s arrogance in their reports to vent the anger in their hearts.
“A small victory at home, but Madman Roja says that the Championship is unmatched!” -London Evening Standard
“Luckily, scoring is rampant. Scarface is raving that the Premier League champions are amateurs!” -Manchester Evening News
“A small victory dumbfounded Leeds United’s eyes. His wild nature is the crown of unparalleled glory!” -The Mirror
“Madman Loria is insane and arrogant. He said that Leeds would win the championship and level up!” -The Sun
All of these media outlets skimmed over the course of the game, reporting only in one sentence that Leeds United won 2-0 at home to Coventry. Afterwards, they put their focus on Zhong Cheng and Ribery’s arrogance and arrogance after the match, trying their best to exaggerate them, portraying these two people as typical of the two villains’ accomplishments.
In addition, these media had wildly reported on Zhong Cheng’s bet with Bradley Wilson, allowing everyone to see how crazy and arrogant Zhong Cheng was!
These media outlets were all slandering Zhong Cheng, Ribery, and the others, claiming that Leeds United was doomed.
Bradley Wilson also personally wrote: ‘Madman Roja’s arrogance has clearly exceeded my expectations. Of course, his IQ has also exceeded my expectations. He dares to bet on Leeds United’s promotion to the Premier League. This is simply courting death!’
Bradley Wilson continued, “Look at crazy Roja. Do you still believe he can lead Leeds United? Or is it that Leeds United is finished, from the day he takes over!”
Bradley Wilson concluded, “I would love to see the madman Roja kneeling in front of me and saying that he is such a fool. It should be great.” I’m sure you’d love to see all of this, too. Let me tell you, it won’t be long before the madman Roja will pay a heavy price for his arrogance and madness!
Bradley Wilson was very popular, and Gerald Krasna, Kevin Blackwell, and the others all praised him, echoed Bradley Wilson, and mocked Zhong Cheng fiercely.
Only a handful of local Yorkshire fans saw the Yorkshire Post’s Kelly Fox report, “Leeds United Show Gold Medal Assassin Style, Two Home Strikes to Win Coventry”, drowned in the dust.
After winning this match, Zhong Cheng, Ribery, and the others were not in a better situation. On the contrary, they were in a worse situation. They were now facing more criticism and doubts.
–Division Line–
After leading the team to victory in Coventry, Leeds United stabilized.
Previously, Leeds United’s successive losses had indeed affected the stability of the Leeds United. These young players were strong, but their mentalities were still not mature. It is easy for them to be arrogant and complacent when they win crazily in a row, and it is easy for them to doubt themselves and lose confidence when they lose consecutively.
So, the atmosphere in Leeds United was a little off.
Fortunately, there were veterans like Albertini and Gary Kelly in the Leeds RUF, and it was at this time that they stabilized their morale.
Sure enough, there was an elder in the family who was as precious as a treasure!
After winning against Coventry, the Leeds United players were more active and motivated in their training. All of them were alive and well.
Zhong Cheng once again used his anger points on the counter-attack training [3 versus 2 training], although Leeds United’s counter-attack in these few matches was very good and unique. But for now it’s not enough, and Leeds United’s counter-attack is too simple, the front court is relying on the individual strength of the players.
Many teams in the Champions League should be studying Leeds and they will certainly find that their counter-attack tactics are a bit monotonous. If they stop them, Leeds will definitely be in danger.
At this time, Zhong Cheng formulated some new counter-attacks, strengthening the connection between the few people in the front court in the counter-attack, increasing their tacit understanding. However, the results were not satisfactory, and the progress was still very slow.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng thought, “When will the Super Football Training System come out with a new counterattack tactic?”
At this moment, Leeds United’s goalkeeper coach Seaman found Zhong Cheng.
“Roja, we have a genius. Aldrich (Zhong Zheng) is really a good seedling. His skills are pretty good now. What he lacks now is the experience of the big matches and the training of the matches, don’t you think …” Seaman said.
Zhong Cheng did not expect Xi Man to be so optimistic about Zhong Zheng.
Although Zhong Zheng was his younger brother, Zhong Cheng did not want to break Leeds United’s current stability. “David, you can see that the team is very stable and Scott is doing well. It’s not good to reduce his playing time, is it?” He said.
David Seaman frowned slightly and nodded. “Roja, you have to believe me. Aldrich’s potential is much greater than Scott’s. In the future, the number one goalkeeper in Leeds United will definitely be Aldrich!” He said.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “I believe in you, but that will only happen in the future!”
David Seaman nodded his head and said: “It doesn’t have to be a big game to gain experience. You can put Aldridge on the bench and let him feel the atmosphere of the Champions League and give him some chances to play in the Carling Cup.”
Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, “You mean to promote Aldridge as the second goalkeeper of the team?”
David Seaman nodded firmly and said: “Ellawi’s height limits his development. In the modern football environment, a 178cm goalkeeper is really hard to get ahead. And, in my opinion, Aldrich’s goalkeeper skills are better than Ellawi’s!”
Zhong Cheng nodded. David Seaman’s words were very reasonable. His height had become Allah Wei’s death acupoint.
Zhong Cheng looked at David Seaman and said, “Alright, I know your suggestion. I will arrange it as I please!”
