The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1044
1044 Professor Wenger Made a Decisive Move
December 26, 2008, Portsmouth, a coastal city in southern England!
Today, Leeds United face Pompey at Fraaton Park.
Pompey’s performance at Portsmouth in this period is average, they are in the middle of the Premier League, not up or down. If they were to maintain their momentum, they would really have no chance of escalating to the European championship.
To tell the truth, Portsmouth and Leeds United still have a big gap in strength.
Portsmouth are at home in this game. Portsmouth are naturally hoping to win their home game. As long as they win the home game, Portsmouth will be able to stay in the Premier League steadily.
In this match, Zhong Cheng was still in a rotating lineup, and some of the young players were given the chance.
Zhong Cheng had given Leeds United’s main players a good rest and recuperation, because the upcoming matches would be even more difficult and annoying.
In this match, although Portsmouth were fighting at home, they knew that Leeds United’s counterattack was powerful. Therefore, they did not attack crazily after coming up. They also put on a defensive posture.
In the words of the Portsmouth, it was a very good ending to get a draw with Leeds. So they didn’t act rashly and the game looked a little dull.
It was really very calm and neither Lizzie nor Portsmouth attacked rashly.
Therefore, many people fell asleep watching the first half of the match. Moreover, it was very cold, and many people couldn’t stay any longer. So after the half-time game, there were a lot less people on the grandstand of Fraaton Park Stadium. They all left the stadium.
In the second half of the game, the players on both sides did not rashly attack. They were both competing for patience.
Zhong Cheng also understood that Portsmouth’s words that the draw was acceptable were not empty words. If the game ended like this, Portsmouth would be very satisfied with the result.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng had been thinking about whether Leeds United would attack or not.
In the 25th minute of the second half, Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but change into Cristiano Ronaldo and let Cristiano Ronaldo harvest his head.
At this time, the Portsmouth players tightened their defensive line. They wanted to defend the Leeds United team and maintain a draw in the game to get a point.
With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo got a good chance on the pitch and shot straight at Portsmouth’s goal. Unfortunately, football was saved by the Portsmouth goalkeeper.
The Portsmouth players were now determined to defend. The Leeds United attacked and frantically surrounded the Portsmouth team, wanting to take three points away.
Unfortunately, the Leeds United players weren’t at their best, and they weren’t playing well either.
This is the aftermath of Christmas!
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng shook his head. He knew that this match would definitely be like this.
However, the Leeds United players continued to attack crazily on the pitch, attacking the Portsmouth goal. Unfortunately, the opportunity came, but there was no goal.
In the end, Leeds United were tied 0-0 away by the Portsmouth.
It was a pity for Leeds United that they didn’t win this match. The result of this match could affect their results.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all defeated their opponents in the 19th Premier League match, and in an instant, the Premier League rankings changed again.
At the top of the Premier League table is Liverpool, who have 41 points, a point behind Leeds United, who have 40 points with Chelsea in second and third place, and Manchester United, who have 39 points and are fourth in the Premier League.
Yes, after this round, Leeds United handed over their top spot in the Premier League.
Leeds United are back at Leeds United and two days from now they are going to play Stoke City at home.
Yes, it’s going to be a week of doubles.
Indeed, in the so-called winter break, the Premier League teams are even busier!
Now, it is about to be 2009, the European football winter transfer door is soon to open, now many teams are looking for new reinforcements, reinforcing the team.
Zhong Cheng felt that the current Leeds United did not need any reinforcements. The staffing of the Leeds United team this season was pretty good.
But there are always people who want to dig a corner of Leeds United at this time.
Yes, not to mention that damn Arsène Wenge, this guy has already made contact with Samir Nasri privately. Samir Nasri also wanted to leave Leeds United, and the deal was almost done.
However, there were other clubs joining in.
Zhong Cheng replied to Arsène Wenge. If Arsène Wenge wanted to take down Samir Nasri, this guy would definitely bleed heavily.
Zhong Cheng bought Samir Nasri for around £ 10 million, and now he has sold him for no less than £ 15 million.
Arsène Wenge was not satisfied with Zhong Cheng’s reply, so he had been hesitating. If Arsène Wenge had directly agreed, there wouldn’t have been so many things happening afterwards.
Because now. Chelsea and Liverpool have both joined the race for Samir Nasri. There was even Everton. Zhong Cheng and Everton’s Moyes had a very close relationship. Zhong Cheng was willing to sell Samir Nasri to Everton if the price was the same, or even a little less.
Now, Chelsea are bidding £ 18 million!
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s reply, Arsène Wenge was extremely angry. If she had known that such a thing would happen, she should have taken Samir Nasri away with £ 15 million.
It now seems unlikely that they will want £ 18 m to buy Samir Nasri.
Yes, Arsène Wenge are now expected to bring in Samir Nasri, and they are likely to have to earn up to 20 million pounds from the nunnery!
To tell the truth, Arsène Wenge was very optimistic about Samir Nasri. He had been observing Samir Nasri for a very long time. Originally, he had planned to wait for a while before taking action. Who knew that Leeds United had taken the lead?
Arsène Wenge was very, very angry back then!
Now Arsène Wenge are even angrier, with a maximum of £ 12 m if they were to make a move to Samir Nasri first. Now it’s all right, up by £ 8 million.
“Damn Madman Loria, why are you always having trouble with me?” Arsène Wenge scolded in his heart.
Yes, some of the good players he valued in Arsène Wenge were poached by Zhong Cheng. He was really too polite. Thinking back to Gerald Peek, Nicklas Bendtner, Abu Diaby, and Alexander Song, he had always been optimistic about them, but Madman Loria was the first to dig a wall.
That anger in Arsène Wenge’s heart, he still had to continue sending money to Madman Loria.
Arsène Wenge is really angry, he contacted Zhong Cheng, their Arsenal team is willing to spend 18 million pounds to buy Samir Nasri.
“Professor Wenger, sorry, Liverpool have raised their offer to £ 18. 5m not long ago,” Zhong Cheng said straightforwardly.
Arsène Wenge’s expression immediately collapsed. What else would these damned fellows do besides raise the price?
The pain in Arsène Wenge’s heart. He knew that they were really going to bleed at this time. Arsène Wenge was just about to say that we, Arsenal, are bringing £ 19 million to Samir Nasri.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng suddenly said: “Sorry, Professor Wenger. Just a second ago, Manchester City joined the contest. Their offer is-20 million pounds!”
The Manchester City Club is now owned by the Middle East oil consortium. They are not short of money!
Manchester City are like the Chelsea of the past, holding money and spending a lot more than the market price to buy some players.
Manchester City have only brought in Robinho and the others before, and they have spent so much money. Who doesn’t know that Manchester City are so poor that they only have money left?
Hearing this, the anger in Arsène Wenge’s heart almost smashed the worktable into pieces with a single punch.
Arsène Wenge took a deep breath and said: “We, Arsenal, are willing to pay £ 20 million to see Mr. Loria in our relationship and talk about Samir Nasri selling to us!”
Actually, Arsène Wenge really wanted to say that Samir Nasri himself was very willing to come to their Arsenal team, but in the end, he resisted saying it, which probably aroused Zhong Cheng’s anger.
After all, no one wanted other teams to come into contact with their own players in private to dig their own corners.
After careful consideration, Zhong Cheng said, “Since Professor Wenger has already said so, I will sell Samir Nasri to you for £ 21. 5 million.”
Although Arsène Wenge was very angry on the phone, he did not explode.
This price was beyond his expectations, but there were other clubs that could offer it, and there would even be higher prices. As City’s silly money is a representative of the line, if the delay continues, Manchester City may not bid to 2200, or even 24 million pounds.
So Arsène Wenge took a deep breath and immediately said, “Then I’ll thank you, Mr. Loria. Don’t worry, we’ll call you soon with the money!”
Zhong Chengshi chuckled and said, “Then, have a good cooperation!”
Arsène Wenge: “Happy cooperation!”
Seeing that Arsène Wenge had agreed to buy Samir Nasri for £ 21. 5m, Zhong Cheng felt that it was a profit. Moreover, it was rare for Arsène Wenge to be able to spend so much money to buy a person. Looks like Arsène Wenge is really optimistic about Samir Nasri. However, Arsène Wenge would never have imagined that he had bought a bomb that would explode from time to time!
Sending Samir Nasri away was not a big deal for Leeds United. They had enough wingers now and there were two more in the East of Leiden. By the time they got back, the Leeds wingers were a bit overcrowded.
So it’s nothing without a Samir Nasri!
