The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 083
083 A Wise Life Is Destroyed in a Flash
Zero-to-one, half-court versus season.
The result delighted Bradley Wilson in the press gallery, who believed everything he had done before the game should have worked and that Leeds United was on the verge of collapse.
Now that the Leeds United fans were lashing out at Zhong Cheng, Bradley Wilson felt comfortable. What could be happier than that?
Bradley Wilson was a little smug at the moment.
“Did you see that the Leeds players are obviously not as motivated as they were in the last few games and there are some problems with their co-operation? What does that mean? There’s a big problem inside them. Is Leeds going to collapse?” He said to his peers.
Kelly Fox frowned slightly and felt very uncomfortable.
A reporter asked: “Mr. Wilson, aren’t you reporting that the 10,000-year-old substitutes Elavi and Carlisle are unhappy with Madman Roja? Why are the main players like Leeds United unhappy with Madman Roja?”
“Of course,” said Bradley Wilson. “Didn’t you see it?”
All the reporters were confused, “What did you see?”
Bradley Wilson snorted coldly, “So you are ordinary reporters, not famous reporters. Your ability to discover problems is really too bad!”
“Hehe, how can we compare to you? You’re a super reporter!”
Outside, he was flattering Bradley Wilson and cursing at him for his pride, trash, and so on. In any case, a series of bad words were sprayed at Bradley Wilson.
Bradley Wilson said, “For your sake, I’ll tell you!”
Bradley Wilson was so much praised by the media that he was about to fly to the sky.
Bradley Wilson then said, “Didn’t you notice that Madman Loria has always reused the French?” “The french make up almost half of his starting lineup. Almost all the french players are starting, and many of them are from the french junior league, even amateurs. Do you think the rest of the leeds players are convinced?”
The reporters suddenly came to a realization!
Of course, Bradley Wilson wasn’t the only one who discovered the problem. Many reporters had discovered it, but none of them had any evidence. As a result, they all looked at Bradley Wilson.
Bradley Wilson said: “You have to know that even Ligue 1 players are not easily convinced by other players, let alone those from the French junior league. It’s weird that Leeds are united!”
Bradley Wilson added: “And Elavi has already revealed that the French Gang of Leeds are being excluded. The conflict between them is already very deep, and now we are waiting for an internal conflict to break out! And now there is a faint trend. Do you think Madman Loria will be fine? Hahaha!”
The reporters were all shocked. Was this really the case?
–Division Line–
The players from both sides walked out of the dressing room and the second half officially began.
During the break, Zhong reminded the Leeds players in the dressing room, “You did well in the first half as a whole, but there were many problems, especially in terms of patience. In the first half, you were completely led away by your opponents. It was dangerous!”
“Defense is definitely not passive! Defense, and we can’t follow the rhythm of others. That’s why we always emphasize the strength and oppressiveness of defense. We need to find the initiative in defense, then restrain the opponent’s attack and let the opponent’s attack follow our rhythm so that we have a chance of winning!”
“I want you to be more active and serious in the second half. You have to oppress your opponents all the time in defense, you know?”
The Leeds United players nodded in agreement that they knew.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Also, we were too cautious in counterattacking. Luca, do you remember how I reminded you before?”
Modric was slightly shocked, and then said, “Be bold in counterattacking, take risks, and don’t let go of another chance, because we only need to succeed once!”
After saying that, Modric lowered his voice.
Zhong Cheng said, “Now do you know what your problem was in the first half?”
In the first half of the game, Modric was a bit too confident. As long as Sunderland were on the defensive, he didn’t pass the threatening ball.
“I know. I’m too conservative,” Modrich said immediately.
Zhong Cheng nodded and said, “It’s good to know! In the second half of the game, you have to take the initiative and be more adventurous. If you have the chance, you have to deliver the threat ball decisively. Then you have to give it to your teammates Frank, James and Claus. You have to believe them. They are very, very strong!”
Before Modric could say anything, Ribery said, “Yeah, Luca dared to pass. Leave the front to us. I was so idle in the first half that it hurt. Believe us, just pass on and watch you, Hero Frank. Stomp on the horse and hit the yellow dragon!”
Zhong Cheng rolled his eyes at Ribery. This guy was so heartless at this time. He was really a weirdo!
Zhong Cheng said, “Alright, the second half will be much more difficult than our first half. All of you, cheer up. Perhaps our mission in the second half is not to defend, but to attack!”
–Division Line–
At half-time, Zhong Cheng was right. Leeds United’s mission in the second half was really tough!
Since the second half of the game, the Sunderland team had moved slightly backwards and arranged many players in the defensive area. Although they were still in possession of the ball, it was clear that they had adopted the tactic of consuming the opponent’s defense.
Zhong Cheng, who was standing at the side of the arena, crossed his chest with both hands and frowned.
Sure enough, Mick McCarthy was not an easy guy to deal with, which gave him another problem.
The scene was very dull. Both sides were wasting time in midfield. It was very difficult for them to threaten the goal. The fans were drowsy when they saw the scene. At this time, Leeds United fans had found a good job for themselves. They were cursing Zhong Cheng crazily, humiliating him with malicious words, and calling for Zhong Cheng to scram and get out of Leeds United.
Bradley Wilson sneered. You’re doomed, madman Roja.
In the middle, Modric was much bolder than he had been in the first half. He had just caught the ball when he turned around with a pull and quickly crossed the ball, sparking a gap between Sunderland right-back Stephen Knight and centre-back Gary Brin.
Ribery, who was on the side, chased after the football like lightning. Unfortunately, she was stuck in the arms of Stephen Knight and Gary Brin as the ball was hugged tightly by the attacking goalkeeper, Thomas Merry.
“I made mistakes in the second half when Leeds United midfielder Ryan Modric passed the ball, but he kept passing the threatening ball forward. It was obvious that Madman Loria wanted it in midfield, but did it really work?” Even Mark Lawrenson, who supported Zhong Cheng, was skeptical of Zhong Cheng’s actions.
You have to know that Sunderland’s defensive line is pretty good.
Right-back Stephen Knight came to England from Liverpool in 2000 for £ 300. He is an England U21 international and is strong. Right-back Gary Brin, who played for the Irish national team in 1996, was a central defender for the Irish national team in the 2002 World Cup and scored a strong goal against Saudi Arabia.
Left centre-back Stephen Caldwell, the Scottish international, made his debut for the Scottish national team in February last year and is one of the players McCarthy has brought this year. Left-back George McCartney, 19, made his debut for Sunderland at the age of 19, replacing injured Jason McCartney as the team’s main player and captain last season, and as a 20-year-old he became the Northern Ireland international who played with the team in World Cup qualifiers.
This line of defense was all international level, so it would be very difficult for Modric to create trouble for them with such a simple and risky pass.
–Division Line–
The fans at the scene were mocking Zhong Cheng and cursing Madman Loria. Even Modric was cursed because in their eyes, Modric’s kick was like dog shit.
On the pitch, Modric was still unaffected. He continued to kick like this, following Zhong Cheng’s instructions and frequently passing the threatening ball forward. However, the result did not seem to be ideal.
In the stands, Bradley Wilson laughed coldly. Are you done for now, Madman Roja? You’re the only one who wants to play football in England? It was simply a fool’s dream.
“Modric’s passes are really often mistaken, even if it’s not mistaken, it still makes the teammates who receive the ball very uncomfortable, it’s not a threat to Sunderland’s goal at all. Although I had always praised Madman Loria’s vision, I have to say that Madman Loria’s vision was wrong with Modric, and I also heard that Leeds United used special genius clauses for Modric, and Madman Loria I’s reputation was ruined here! “Mark Lawrenson felt sorry for Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng stood quietly on the sidelines. He raised his head and looked at the big screen. The second half had already been played, but it had been a minute. Leeds United did not get any good chances. Sunderland’s defence was very stable. The strength of this line of defence was indeed not ordinary.
Ribery, Olich, Huntelaar, and the others worked very hard, but the results weren’t good.
In this match, Leeds United really encountered a lot of trouble.
At this moment, midfielder Modric unexpectedly threw a high ball and the football flew straight over Stephen Caldwell’s head. Stephen Caldwell’s height was a hard injury. Although his jump was very good, the football still flew over his head.
“Aiya, it’s a little too big. Modric’s ball is a little too big. What a pity!”
Mark Lawrenson was filled with regret. This was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, Modric had spread the word and Leeds United had no chance.
“Ah, also, desperate Saburo Olich, Olich runs tirelessly. He catches up to the football, but the angle is too small!”
Olich caught up with the ball by running with all his might, but he didn’t have time to think too much and make any unnecessary choices. Olich, who caught up with the football, twisted his body and shot, sweeping the football towards Sunderland’s goal.
“Olich, shoot!” Exclaimed Mark Lawrence.
