The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1123
1123 A Crucial Premier League Match
A beautiful woman, Bian Yuqing came again.
This time, Bian Yuqing came with an interview mission.
However, Zhong Cheng did not give Bian Yuqing any face. Although they were good friends now, Zhong Cheng did not give Bian Yuqing an interview this time.
It is useless to be beautiful at certain times.
For example, this time, Bian Yuqing had failed.
Bian Yuqing stared at Zhong Cheng with some resentment, her pouted lips almost hanging on the drag bottle.
It was rare for Zhong Cheng to see such a small woman like Bian Yuqing. Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned.
Being cute was indeed very popular, but it was useless in front of Zhong Cheng right now.
Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “Alright, this is not like you!”
Bian Yuqing rolled her eyes at Zhong Cheng and said indifferently, “You don’t want to give you any benefits, chi!”
With that, Bian Yuqing turned around and waved at Zhong Cheng before leaving.
Zhong Chengxian smiled and said, “Hey, you can’t be so realistic, right? You’re leaving now, don’t you want to stay for dinner?”
Bian Yuqing turned around playfully like a fifteen or sixteen year old girl, as if flowers were blooming brilliantly, giving off a burst of fragrance.
Sure enough, she was a woman like a flower.
Bian Yuqing said, “Hmph, I didn’t even get the exclusive interview. What are you still in the mood to eat? I’ll still eat dirt!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Then you should go back and eat dirt. I won’t let you stay!”
Hearing this, Bian Yuqing’s breathing froze. She glared fiercely at Zhong Cheng and snorted coldly before turning around to leave.
Seeing Bian Yuqing leave, Zhong Cheng shrugged slightly and said, “Forget it, brother, I’ll eat alone!”
After saying that, Zhong Cheng also left and went home to eat.
Now, Zhong Cheng was thinking about the next Premier League game. Next was the 36th Premier League game of the season. This was really the penultimate game of the season. Leeds United had no chance of winning the Barclays Premier League since a long time ago.
And now Leeds United are aiming for the top four in the Premier League.
Leeds United are now fifth in the Premier League, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal. However, as long as Leeds United win a game and Arsenal lose a game, Leeds United will be able to surpass Arsenal to reach the fourth place in the Premier League.
The next round will be a crucial one, as it will be Leeds United’s last chance.
In this round, Leeds United will play Liverpool at home, Arsenal at home to Chelsea and Manchester United at home to Manchester City. Moreover, the top five teams played at the same time, and the next few matches were the same.
The Premier League has now reached a white-hot stage.
At the top of the Premier League table is Manchester United, who have 79 points, just three points ahead of Liverpool, who have 76 points. There is also a 73-point Chelsea, which is very, very keen on winning the Premier League this season.
It was clear that Liverpool were going to fight Leeds United in this round. And Chelsea are not going to let Arsenal take victory, it’s been a very hot game.
Countless pairs of eyes around the world are focused on the Premier League, which is even more exciting than the Champions League. No wonder UEFA did not want the Champions League final to become a civil war in the Premier League.
Now, Leeds United are waiting for Liverpool.
Liverpool did not have much to play in the middle of the week. They were waiting for their time, so the outside world was not optimistic about Leeds United. They all thought that Leeds United were really doomed and did not have a chance to defeat Liverpool.
Yes, everyone is not optimistic about Leeds United now. Leeds United really don’t have much energy now, do they? Arsenal and Manchester United have both gone through four games, so it is now believed that this round could be a turning point in the Premier League this season.
In other words, the English media now believe that Liverpool and Chelsea have a high chance of winning, with Leeds United, Arsenal and Manchester United losing.
Therefore, after this round of matches, Liverpool will definitely surpass Manchester United and return to the top of the Premier League. Chelsea will draw with Manchester United, Arsenal remain fourth and Leeds United have no way forward.
That’s right. Countless media outlets are predicting this. Many European bookmakers are offering the same odds. Obviously, everyone is more optimistic about Liverpool.
Liverpool fans are looking forward to the game, which will see them return to the top of the Premier League. They naturally hoped that this match would arrive sooner so that they could surpass Manchester United and win the championship.
Liverpool fans are now full of confidence, they are overjoyed that Liverpool will surpass Manchester United to top the Premier League next year.
And now the Liverpool players are very confident that they will win this game. They were confident in defeating the exhausted Leeds United.
Many media reporters rushed to the Liverpool camp to interview the Liverpool players.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard told reporters: “Now that the Premier League is in full swing next year, Leeds United are spending too much energy on Zhong Cheng. They won’t have a chance to play Leeds United this weekend.”
Steven Gerrard added: “We are confident in this game. Our desire for the Premier League title has surpassed everything else. We will do our best in this game and the victory will definitely belong to us.”
Steven Gerrard has repeatedly insisted that they will win the game, which shows their conviction.
Zhong knows it will be a tough game for Liverpool, but after hearing Steven Gerrard’s words, he knows it will be even harder.
Of course, Zhong Cheng would not give up this match. Although Leeds United have won the Champions League, even if they are not in the top four of the Premier League, they will be promoted to the Champions League tomorrow as defending champions.
However, Zhong Cheng was still unwilling to do this!
The top four are not just about a Champions League place but also a symbol in the Premier League. In the top four of the Premier League, Leeds United had to go up, otherwise all his years of hard work would have been in vain and Leeds United’s image would have fallen by a lot.
So, no matter what happens to Liverpool, Leeds United will not give up on this game. They will go all out to win the game.
Because there are really not many chances left for Leeds United, if that doesn’t happen again, Leeds United will really be doomed for the entire season.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez told reporters: “You should be aware of the importance of this game for Liverpool. In such a situation, we do not recognize each other. We must be the champions today!”
Yes, Benitez is looking forward to the Premier League title for a long time, now is a very, very good opportunity, the Premier League title is right in front of him!
Benitez added: “There is no denying that Madman Loria is amazing. But so what? Is our Liverpool team weak? Obviously not, we will win!”
Liverpool have shown great confidence and are ready to win.
At this time, Zhong Cheng did not give an interview to the reporters. He was interviewed by media reporters by Leeds United players and assistant coaches. Zhong Cheng and the Leeds United players only revealed one message: Leeds United would never give up.
Sure enough, a fierce battle was right in front of him!
On this day of the game, the Leeds United players were wearing white shirts and were standing on the pitch very seriously. They felt a lot of pressure in this game.
The Leeds United fans were also wearing their home shirts, creating a white ocean. All the Leeds United fans were cheering for Leeds United.
Liverpool fans were also coming from afar to prepare for this match. They were cheering for the Liverpool players. This match was too important for them. They could only win and not lose!
At this time, the players on both sides were already on the pitch. The commentators for this match, Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray, introduced the starting lineup of both sides.
Visiting team: Liverpool, head coach: Rafael Benitez, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Reina
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Insua, Agger, Skrtel and Aveloa
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Benayoun, Mascherano, Xabi Alonso and Gerrard
Twin strikers: Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt
This is the starting line-up for today’s visiting Liverpool team. From this list, it can be seen that the Liverpool people are not good. They are going to attack Liverpool and take away three points.
Following is the starting line-up for home team Leeds United today:
Home: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Compani, David Louis and Glen Johnson
Double waist: Sedu Keita and Yaya Touré
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Marco Reus, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo
Single forward: Diego Milito
This is the starting lineup for Leeds United today, but it’s still a little different. Patrick Aver and Glen Johnson are back in the starting line-up, with Ivanovic and Lichtsteiner on the bench.
The position at the waist was the same as the match in the middle of the week. It was the two of them.
This was also because Leeds United’s defensive line players had problems one after another, which led to the current situation. Zhong Cheng could only change the formation.
In the vanguard, Gareth Bale was a little out of the game in the middle of the week, so Gareth Bale did not even make the substitute lineup in this game. The starting line-up was Marco Reus.
Diego Milito is now in the vanguard, because Leeds United really don’t have many strikers left. Although Alexander Pato is undergoing rehabilitation training, according to doctors, Alexander Pato won’t be able to play any part in the short term and Leeds United need to be prepared, especially next season.
