The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 107
107 Two Very Similar Styles
Leeds United, England, 10 November 2004.
The weather was good today, but Leeds had turned cold and seemed to be heading into winter ahead of schedule.
Although today’s weather was not bad, as long as the wind blew, it was still a little cold.
Today’s performance at Ellen Road was not too high. Perhaps it was Leeds United’s last five consecutive defeats that made many Leeds United fans lose their mood to attack Zhong Cheng.
However, for the middle of the week, the performance rate was still very good.
There were still plenty of fans wearing Leeds United’s blue away jerseys in the stands at Ellen Road. They also pulled up banners attacking Zhong Cheng, such as “Down with Madman Loria, Madman Loria Get Out of Leeds United” and so on.
These Leeds United fans were also shouting their slogans crazily, as if they would never give up until Zhong Cheng was chased out of Leeds United!
Dick O ‘Connor and his subordinates were naturally the main forces. They waved their huge flags and sounded their huge war drums. Their momentum was like a general who was in favor of the formation. Millions of troops rolled over!
Dick O ‘Connor swore that there was a kind of golden armor in yellow sand that he would never return until he killed Roja!
Everton fans had also come today. However, they were no longer surprised by the strange atmosphere at Ellen Road Stadium. The major media had already fired this matter into pieces. Perhaps even three-year-olds from the British mainland had heard of it countless times.
This was not surprising!
Looking at the defecting Leeds fans, Everton fans were delighted. They even coaxed their way into joining the Leeds fans, attacking Madman Loria and calling on the Leeds rebels to cheer for them at Everton.
Shazad Tanville and the others watched with cold eyes.
Dick O ‘Connor is still the same Dick O’ Connor. Dick, why are you doing this?
Shazad Tanville immediately organized his little brothers and sang the Leeds United team song.
“Let’s go with Leeds
Let’s go help him
Stand up and sing for Leeds United
They are the greatest people in the world
Every day we say
We love you.-Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
We’re everywhere
We love you.-Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
Dare to move forward
We’ll see you win
We are proud of you
We shouted loudly
We love you.-Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! ”
When this song sounded, many people on the scene were stunned, especially those media reporters. It had been a long time since they had heard this song at the Ellen Road Stadium, and they seemed to have almost forgotten that there was such a song in this world.
How could this be? Why did Leeds United fans support Leeds United and that crazy Roja when their results were so bad?
The reporters were extremely shocked!
Bradley Wilson’s expression was extremely ugly. This was completely slapping him in the face!
Bradley Wilson looked at the group with a gloomy expression, wondering what he was thinking?
–Division Line–
In the locker room of home team Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng stood in front of the Leeds United players and stared at his disciples.
The Leeds players were very calm, but Zhong Cheng could not feel a trace of fighting spirit from their bodies. He could tell that the recent miscellaneous events at Leeds United had a great impact on their mentality.
Zhong Cheng knew that he could not blame the players in front of him.
Looking at the players tidying up their equipment, Zhong Cheng clapped his hands. The players from Leeds United all raised their heads and looked at Zhong Cheng.
After pondering for a moment, Zhong Cheng said, “I want to know what do you think about the suspicion that you are taking prohibited drugs?”
‘”Bullshit! Do we need to take prohibitive drugs? Those damn bastards are slandering, a bunch of scum!” Huntelaar’s temper was a little hot and he immediately rubbed his head against the ground, “Bullshit! We need to take prohibitive drugs? That bunch of bastards are slandering, a bunch of scum!”
Ribery also jumped out, “That’s right! That damn bunch of garbage is a complete slander! If they stand in front of me, I’ll beat him so hard that his mother doesn’t even know him!”
Albertini also said: “This is a bunch of unscrupulous media, unethical and baseless absurd actions, a bunch of social moths!”
All the Leeds United players were furious. These damn media reporters were splashing dirt on them and slandering them. The use of drugs was a serious stain on a player. These damn rubbish media were trying to ruin their careers.
It’s amazing that the Leeds players aren’t angry. They want to kill Bradley Wilson, the main culprit, and the team’s insider, Elavi!
Zhong Cheng nodded as he watched the anger rising from his subordinates’ bodies.
Zhong Cheng said, “Does it feel good to be slandered, smeared, and criticized? Do you feel very angry and aggrieved in your heart …”
The Leeds United players gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly, causing veins to burst out from their fists.
To tell the truth, that feeling was really unpleasant to Tama, extremely unpleasant!
All the players in Leeds United nodded and shouted, “Yes! Titamar is so aggrieved!”
Zhong Cheng stared sharply at the Leeds players and shouted, “Since that’s the case, prove it. Use victory to smash the faces of those who question you with facts. Use action to shatter all doubts. Pin those damned slanderers on the pillar of moral shame forever and make them lose their reputation and die a terrible death!”
The Leeds players could only feel the hot blood surging in their bodies, like boiling water, constantly rolling, making their bodies hot and filled with energy!
The Leeds players felt that they could kill a bear right now!
Damn Bradley Wilson, damn unscrupulous media! Wait for me! I will make you lose your reputation and die a terrible death!
The players of Leeds United looked at Zhong Cheng, their bodies emitting endless battle intent.
Zhong Cheng said, “The drug test in this competition was very strict. Now everyone knows that you didn’t take any prohibited drugs! Now is a good chance to prove yourselves!”
The Leeds players’ eyes lit up as they stared at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Now that everyone knows that you didn’t take any drugs in this match, then use your strength and victory to defend your innocence. Use victory to slap the faces of all doubters. Use a hearty victory to tell the world that we, the Leeds United, are innocent!” “Those damn trash are all slander, slander!”
The Leeds United players stood up and shouted, “Let them lose their reputation and die a terrible death! Let them lose their reputation and die a terrible death!”
Rogers and the others were shocked. Zhong Cheng’s method of mobilizing the players’ enthusiasm and fighting spirit was really too powerful. This was not the first time they had seen him, but they still felt that he was very powerful.
Rogers’ heart darkened. The gap between him and Zhong Cheng was too big.
However, Rogers felt a chill in his heart. He had learned a lot from Zhong Cheng. This would be of great help to his independent coaching career in the future. He was glad that he had met Zhong Cheng at this age.
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng placed the tactical board in front of the Leeds United players. The Leeds United players all focused their gazes on the tactical board.
“This is not the first time we’ve met Everton. We fought them in the pre-match warm-up. They haven’t changed much, so you should be familiar with them,” Zhong Cheng said.
The Leeds players nodded in agreement.
“Everton have done very well in the Premier League this season. So far, the twelve matches have ended. They are third in the Premier League and have put Manchester United and Liverpool under them. They are very strong!” Zhong Cheng continued.
The Leeds United players immediately became serious.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Today, I will tell you about Everton’s tactics. Moyes’s tactics are similar to our current tactics. They are also defensive counterattacks, backcourt oppression and close-up, and then try to get the ball out as quickly as possible to find frontline players!”
The Leeds United players were shocked. This was indeed very similar to their tactics. It was not even very similar. It was simply the same.
Zhong Cheng saw through the players’ thoughts and immediately said, “It is generally consistent, but there are many differences in details.” In defense, we require strong integrity, oppressiveness and high-intensity defense, the division of the area and requirements are very detailed, the overall linkage is very strong. Everton, on the other hand, are different. Their division of the field is not as obvious as ours and their requirements are not as meticulous. Their defense is more focused on shovelling them off. Their defense is fierce!
The Leeds players listened very carefully.
Zhong Cheng said: “In the counter-attack, both of our teams want to be fast, moreover, Moyes wants someone to be fast and pass the ball forward immediately after stealing the ball, moreover, they are more direct to find the forward with big feet, Moyes does not pay attention to the ball right, because he is very confident in his oppressive shovel. If he loses, he will snatch the ball again!”
Zhong Cheng said, “Our counterattack relies more on the combination of the sides and the middle, especially the quick assault from the side! Therefore, there are many differences between our two teams!”
“Let me say one more thing, Everton have only scored 14 goals and conceded 11 goals this season, but they have 23 points and are third in the Premier League. You should know what that means,” Zhong said.
The Leeds United players took in a deep breath of cold air, which was a high efficiency value.
Zhong Cheng said, “Looking at the number of goals conceded, Everton’s defense doesn’t seem to be strong, but they got 23 points. This is enough to explain the problem. Everton’s defense is not strong when facing strong teams, but when facing an ordinary team, their defense is very strong, one-to-zero!”
The Leeds United players nodded their heads as they realized the difficulty of the game.
Zhong Cheng finally said, “This is going to be a very difficult match. It’s going to be a very silent match. It’s going to be a match that will wear away one’s will. This match will be a match between will and will. I hope that all of you will be patient at all times. Don’t be anxious and don’t be easily enraged. Do you understand?”
Aren’t two teams that are good at defending and counterattacking a match between willpower and willpower?
The Leeds players immediately shouted, “Got it!”
Zhong Cheng waved his hand and said, “Then, let’s go! Let’s hit those doubters in the face!”
Only then did the Leeds players rush out of the dressing room.
