The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1054
1054 Red and White Rose Battle Comes
The following week was a busy week for Leeds United.
The rest of the national league is in the winter break, the players are on vacation, and the Premier League teams are desperate.
Next up, Leeds United will be welcoming the two-week doubles.
First, Leeds United will play Red Devils United at home next week in the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final in England. In the first leg, Leeds United lost 2-4 at Old Trafford, a difficult game for them.
Leeds United have a fourth round of this season’s FA Cup at the weekend.
Leeds United will play Hartlip away. The opponents are not shallow and should be able to win. But the FA Cup is the hotbed of surprise, and perhaps Leeds United will be cold.
Next week, Leeds United play their 23rd Premier League game at home to Hull City in the middle of the week. Leeds United face Arsenal away next weekend in their 24th Premier League game.
The game against Arsenal was very difficult. It was a big game!
Of course, Leeds United are now facing a huge battle. It is against Red Manchester United, and this game is still very important.
Leeds United are at a disadvantage, two goals behind Manchester United. However, they have scored two away goals and as long as they win 2-0 at home, they will advance to the final of the Carling Cup.
Now, it was up to Zhong Cheng to think about it.
Will Leeds give up the Carling Cup or fight Manchester United?
If they were to give up the Carling Cup, Leeds United would have to send some young players to play. If they were to compete with Manchester United, Leeds United would have to send out their main players.
However, this season’s Leeds United game is very heavy. Is this match worth the Leeds United’s effort?
At this time, everyone couldn’t help but think of the game between Leeds United and Manchester United in the first half of the season. In that game, the two teams had their lineups crippled, but the other opponents had to take advantage of it. The two teams had only recently recovered.
If the two teams were to clash again at this time, wouldn’t it be a blessing in disguise?
Countless media reporters are now predicting this match. Everyone thinks that Leeds United will definitely clash with Manchester United in this match. Because of the historical legacy between the two of them, the two teams were mortal enemies. There was no easy match between them, and every match was a fierce one.
Moreover, this is the semi-final of the Carling Cup of England. After stepping into this match, we will directly enter the final. What is there to be afraid of?
Therefore, the media reporters thought that the two teams were definitely going to go all out.
There was also a lot to see in this game, and that was the first time Cristiano Ronaldo, the new double football player, had faced Manchester United since winning the prize.
There was also Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff in the Leeds United formation, who were also sparkling against their old owners, Leeds United. This was the first time they had returned to their home ground against Leeds United since leaving the club.
However, this was also the first time Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff had come to Crown Stadium!
The reason for that was because when they were still at Leeds United, Leeds United’s home court was the Elland Road Stadium, not the current Crown Stadium. The Crown Stadium is still under construction. It was their first time at Crown Stadium since they left the club before it was fully operational.
So it was a very, very special experience for Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff.
Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff are certainly looking forward to this match. What kind of performance would these two have? The media reporters were filled with anticipation.
Right now, media reporters are waiting for the start of this match.
Manchester United arrived at Leeds a day earlier, as if they took the game seriously.
Media reporters are rushing to Manchester United to interview the Reds and see what they think of the game.
Alex Ferguson was interviewed by media reporters.
Alex Ferguson said: “We will definitely go all out in this game. We have to win this game. We will win the Carling Cup in England. We will definitely win the Carling Cup.”
I can tell Alex Ferguson is serious!
Alex Ferguson said: “It is clear that Manchester United are going to send out a full-fledged squad for this game because our opponents are very strong and we have to go all out if we want to reach the Carling Cup final.”
The reporters also saw that the Manchester United players on the road this time were all regular players. It was clear that Alex Ferguson was not lying. They had to go all out.
Alex Ferguson added: “We are leading 4-2 and we should be playing a much easier game. I believe we can win this game from time to time.”
The Manchester United man is confident.
Franck Ribery was also interviewed by media reporters, “To be honest, I am looking forward to playing at Crown Stadium. When we played at Leeds United, we were full of expectations for this stadium. I always thought that I would play on this stadium, but things are unpredictable. Now I am finally here …” he said.
It could be seen that Franck Ribery was filled with emotions, and his eyes were filled with sparks.
Franck Ribery continued, “Now that we’ve finally come to this stadium, I’m sure I’ll be amazing in this game because I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time and we’ll do our best. I want the Leeds fans to know that the players who walked out of Leeds are not cowards and I’m still very, very strong!”
Media reporters saw through Franck Ribery’s determination.
Franck Ribery added: “To be honest, I’m the one who knows Leeds United best. Even Joan doesn’t know Leeds United as well as I do. They’re very, very strong. Even if we lead 4-2, we can’t afford to let them down. Otherwise, we’ll lose!”
Frank Lampard was very serious, and it was clear that he thought so.
Franck Ribery added: “It’s going to be a tough game, but we’re going to win!”
Franck Ribery was confident!
Joan Gourcuff was also interviewed by media reporters. His mood was the same as Franck Ribery’s. Facing his old employer, his mood was very complicated!
Joan Gourcuff immediately said: “This game is very complicated for me.” I am very grateful to Leeds United, very grateful to Mr. Loria, if not for him, there would be no Gourcuff now. “But today against Leeds United, I will definitely go all out and not disappoint Mr. Loria. I am still the same Gourcuff!”
Gourcuff also said: “I have been looking forward to the Crown Stadium for a long time, and now I can finally come to the Crown Stadium to play, I will definitely cherish this game, definitely!”
The rest of the Manchester United squad showed great confidence as if they were going to win this game.
The Manchester United man is very confident and now everyone wants to see how confident the Leeds United are?
Media reporters flocked to the Leeds United team to interview the Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng, the head coach of Leeds United, told reporters, “To be honest, our Leeds United are in a terrible situation right now. We’re behind 2-4, which is a lot behind. Although this is our home ground, what I want to say is that it’s still very difficult!”
Yes, Zhong Cheng did think so. It was very difficult.
Zhong Chengshi continued: “Manchester United are not easy to deal with. They are really very strong. Franck Ribery and Joan Gourcuff are both very strong. They will definitely cause us a lot of trouble!”
Zhong Cheng also said: “Although we have fallen behind by a large margin, we will definitely go all out in this match. We want to produce the whole team, we will not give up this match, this match, we must win, we want to go to the Carling Cup final!”
The reporters with eyebrows were extremely happy. It was precisely because of this kind of battle that they would be able to watch this match more!
Zhong Cheng also said: “This is our home court, I believe we can win!”
Zhong Cheng naturally showed a very strong confidence, which represented the confidence of Leeds United.
Then, the media reporters found Cristiano Ronaldo and went to interview Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very popular right now. He is still on the big screen. Countless media are reporting that Cristiano Ronaldo is a double football player.
And now countless advertising deals are flooding into Cristiano Ronaldo.
The brow reporters wanted to interview Cristiano Ronaldo about the game, against his former club Manchester United and against the one who made him a successful double player!
Cristiano Ronaldo said: ‘To be honest, every time I face Manchester United, my emotions are very complicated and they play a very important role in our hearts. But I am a Leeds United player and I will do my best to beat them. This feeling is very complicated … ”
Cristiano Ronaldo added: “Even so, I will go all out. This game, our Leeds United have reached the worst point, if we don’t take advantage of the situation, we will be finished!”
Cristiano Ronaldo continued: “As our boss, Mr. Loria, said, we will not give up on this game. We are going to the Carling Cup final. We will go all out in this game, definitely!”
Cristiano Ronaldo is so strong that media reporters know that Leeds United are going to play Manchester United in this game.
Next up, the Leeds United players were so determined when interviewed by media reporters. The Leeds United players are going to have to fight Manchester United for this game.
Media reporters realized that this was definitely a spark-to-earth match. Everyone was filled with anticipation for this match, and the fans on both sides were also filled with anticipation for this match. The Red and White Rose Battle is coming again!
