The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 098

098 Tackling Is the Art of Intimidation
Zhong Cheng never thought that Reyes would dare to let him start today after being baptized by the Neville brothers. Did he want Reyes to regain his confidence in Leeds United?

Zhong Cheng glances at Wenger and snorts coldly. If that’s the case, you’re underestimating us, Mr Wenger!

Zhong Cheng arrived at the side of the field, his hands crossed over his chest, and he quietly looked at the field.

‘”Wow! Here comes Reyes again. Reyes has received Ljungberg’s pass. He turns around beautifully. This action is simply adorable. Reyes is like the ice prince of the ice rink, the ballet king on the stage. This is the ultimate beauty of art, the ultimate embodiment of this beautiful fantasy …”

‘”Me! Boumsong! This art saboteur, this ferocious beast …” He shoveled the football elf Reyes to the ground like a tree. “My God, this is too ferocious …”

Exclaimed Mark Lawrence.

“Butcher! Butcher! You damn soccer trash, soccer hooligan! Red card, referee, red card!” The Arsenal fans jumped up and down and shouted crazily, “Butcher! Butcher! You damn soccer hooligan!”

Ars è ne Wenger raised his eyebrows and rushed out angrily. “Foul! It’s a malicious foul! It should be a red card. The red card will send him off, Sir Alex!” He shouted.

The referee stretched out his hands and made a non-foul gesture.

The Leeds United fans howled excitedly as they gave the referee a thumbs up and applauded.

“Black whistle! You damn black whistle! Trash judge, go to hell! F*ck your uncle!” Arsenal fans cursed wildly, venting their anger and grievances.

Reyes, who had fallen to the ground, had a blank expression, as if he didn’t know what had just happened. Countless Arsenal fans felt a pain in their hearts when they saw Reyes’ expression.

The football rolled at Chimbonda’s feet and Chimbonda was ready to launch a quick counterattack.

Arsenal’s big brother Ljungberg was so angry that he rushed to the referee and shouted, “Did you bring Tamar’s eyes? This is a foul, a red card foul! You …”

The referee stared at Ljungberg and suddenly blew his whistle. He expressionlessly took out a yellow card at Ljungberg and gave him a yellow card warning.

“I, Ljungberg, questioned the referee. His mouth was dirty and he was late for a yellow card!” Said Mark Lawrenson.

At this moment, Eddie Gray, who rarely said a word, said: “This disgusting guy was obviously doing it on purpose. He killed Leeds United’s counterattack. You didn’t see that Arsenal’s backcourt was empty just now. The Swede is really a cunning guy!”

Mark Lawrenson was slightly stunned. He thought for a moment, “This is really the case.”

Arsenal’s defensive line is really empty. For Leeds United, this is definitely an excellent opportunity to counterattack. Ljungberg is really experienced and scheming.

Ars è ne Wenger was furious as he roared at the referee, “Are you blind? Red card, Leeds United’s Frenchman deserves a red card!”

After shouting, Wenger himself was stunned. Frenchman, isn’t he also from France?

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng gave Bu Mu Song a thumbs up and shouted, “Good job, let’s do it!”

At the same time, Zhong Cheng also waved his hand to signal Boumsong and Chimbonda to come over.

Boumsong and Chimbonda immediately arrived beside Zhong Cheng and listened quietly.

Zhong Cheng said very seriously, “Remember, the main thing is not in the restricted area, shovel him. The fiercer the better, plus some fierce words, scare him to death! That’s a coward. He must be fierce, tough, and oppressive, you know?”

Zimbonda nodded, but Boumsong hesitated slightly and said, “Boss, isn’t this not good? If I destroy him … I’m sorry!”

Zhong Cheng fiercely patted Bumsong’s big bald head and berated, “Did I let you viciously shovel him to cripple him? Scared him, he’s just a coward, understand?”

Bum let out a sigh of relief. The boss didn’t want him to murder Reyes’s career!

Zhong Cheng added, “Don’t be compassionate. If you should be ruthless, you must be ruthless. Otherwise, you will become a wooden stake played by that Spanish brat and become a stepping stone for that Spanish brat to become famous!”

Qimbonda’s heart tightened and his gaze became fierce.

“A few days ago, Gary Neville said, ‘If I don’t shovel him, he’ll come back to me. I don’t want to look like a fool.’ Do you want to look like a fool?”

Chimbonda and Boumsong immediately shook their heads, expressing their unwillingness.

Only then did Zhong Cheng nod his head and said, “That’s right. Go up and shovel him! Fiercely shovel him!”

Chimbonda and Boumsong exchanged glances, then nodded firmly at Zhong Cheng before turning around and returning to the court.

–Division Line–

Ars è ne Wenger suddenly rushed over and shouted, “Sir Alex, can you hear him? He is murdering, he is insulting football. If you let them continue like this, it will be a disgrace to England football, a disaster for football!”

The fourth official glanced at Zhong Cheng and said, “Please pay attention to your words, Mr. Loria, I will record all of this in the competition report!”

Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “Yes!”

Ars è ne Wenger glared at Zhong Cheng and said to the fourth official, “That’s not enough! You should give him a red card and make him scram! And an additional suspension. His existence is a disgrace to English football, a disgrace to the game!”

Before the fourth official could say anything, Zhong Chengshi snorted coldly, “Mr. Wenger, what have I done to make you so angry? What have I done? Have I become a disgrace to football?”

Wenger stared coldly at Zhong Cheng and said, “You let your players do violence on the pitch and viciously shovel my players. You are a violent player on the pitch and you are a butcher!”

Zhong Cheng said, “Who says you can’t tackle in a football match?”

Ars è ne Wenger shouted: “You are different. You are violent on the pitch. You want to destroy Reyes!”

Zhong Cheng laughed and said, “Is he injured?”

Wenger choked and glared at Zhong Cheng, “You …”

The fourth official couldn’t bear to watch any longer. If this continued, the two instructors would start a big fight. He immediately stood up and said, “Alright, both of you! Return to your seats, otherwise, we don’t mind inviting you to the grandstand!”

This is the ultimate killing weapon. Wenger stared at the fourth official for a long time before leaving.

Seeing Wenger leave, Zhong Cheng smiled and turned around to leave.

–Division Line–

Can’t you tackle in football? Of course not!

Is there something wrong with tackling in football? Of course not!

Tackling is just a means of football matches. The rules allow it, so why can’t you use it?

In his later life, Zhong Cheng had read a book by Gary Neville called “Red”, in which he responded to “the Neville brothers shoveled Reyes out of the Premier League”.

The book says:

“My idea was simple:” He was a fast, skilled winger who liked fakes. If I stayed away from him and didn’t release the shovel, he would have easily rushed past me and made me look like a fool. Tackling was just a trick. Why couldn’t I use it to restrict him? ”

You’re like a boxer who plans a fight, fiercely striking, running, or melee fighting.

He’s faster, he’s more skilled, and my advantage is better fitness.

I want to know how to use my advantage!

When I want to break the ball, I have to use my experience and sense of position. I knew I had to get close to him and play physically. I had to make Reyes lose confidence. If there’s anything wrong with Reyes, it’s his personality. My job is to take advantage of his weaknesses.

Someone said I crossed the line. Why?

Reyes was replaced in 70 minutes. Wasn’t this to protect him?

In the first half, he had worn me in the crotch, which made me look pretty miserable. At that time, I thought that such a sorry state would never happen again, so I let him go afterwards.

Although it wasn’t good-looking, it was very practical!

This kind of method was not unfamiliar on the football field, it was very common!

Any defender will do something like this dozens of times a season-you will choose to foul in the front rather than get yourself into trouble in the penalty area.

People always say that my brother Phil and I were violent against him, but Phil’s conflict with him had nothing to do with tackling. He just pushed Reyes. It wasn’t a rude move. I’m not denying that we were a little intimidating, but it was also because Reyes wasn’t strong enough.

Cristiano (Cristiano Ronaldo) was always treated in this way until the defenders realized that not only could they not scare him, but they also made him more determined, so the defenders did not deal with him in this way.

Cristiano’s courage is part of a great player, and Reyes is unable to cope with the brutal competition, which is why Wenger sold him back to Spain in the end. He has the skill, but he lacks the feeling of a top player because he can’t face setbacks.

Facing shovel and robbery, it is part of the football player’s job. If Reyes couldn’t handle it, it could only be said that he wasn’t strong enough!

Zhong Cheng’s eyes were fixed on the field. He firmly believed that if he did it again, the Neville brothers would make the same choice.

Jean, Pascal, go shovel!

–Division Line–

The game continued and Arsenal’s offense returned.

The soccer ball quickly rolled to Reyes’ feet, because the most threatening attack of the Arsenal team was from Reyes. The Arsenal players naturally hoped to tear through Leeds United’s defensive line from here.

Reyes drove the ball into Leeds United’s box and was aggressive.

Pascal Chimbonda immediately greeted him, barring Reyes’ path forward.

Looking at Reyes with the ball, Qimbonda lowered his body and his dark green eyes stared at Reyes, waiting for the perfect chance to kill him.

Looking at the snake-like Qimbonda, Reyes felt a little afraid. However, he still chose to make a breakthrough. Suddenly, there was a movement of arranging scissors legs under his feet. It seemed like he was going to spread the football out, but he left the football under his feet and swung his gun.

Seeing that Qimbonda was slightly stunned, he suddenly pushed the football out, wanting to put on a crotch.

“Beautiful! Excellent … Ah!” Exclaimed Mark Lawrence.

At that moment, Zimbonda shouted, shovelling fiercely, and his entire body slid out, as fierce as a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Reyes’ face turned pale as he was clearly knocked down. Then, his body was knocked over and he was knocked over!
