The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 118

118 Sorry About the Beginning
Leeds beat Ipswich 2-1 on the road.

After being overtaken by the opponent, Ipswich attacked from all sides and threatened Leeds United’s goal many times. The young goalkeeper that everyone had looked down on previously, Zhong Zheng, who was called a straw goalkeeper, performed very well. He blocked high and tried his best to keep the goal safe.

In the end, Leeds United won 2-1.

The Ipswich fans looked at Zhong Zheng with suspicion. Was this guy really the goalkeeper that reporters called a bastard every day? If this performance was all a piece of cake, then how many people in the Ipswich Formation were not a piece of cake?

The Ipswich fans were really amazing.

After Zhong Zheng went on stage, he was completely unable to break through. There was no problem with his strength to play in the Premier League. Was this really a piece of shit?

The Ipswich fans hated the media reporters to death. It was all these damned fellows who misled them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have underestimated Zhong Zheng so much. They, Ipswich, would have won this match.

The Ipswich fans in the stands glared at the media reporters, especially Bradley Wilson. This guy was completely blind and fabricated everyday. This guy was not a media reporter at all, but a novelist!

Some Ipswich fans even raised their middle fingers at Bradley Wilson, thanking him for his pre-match coverage and help.

Bradley Wilson’s face was red and his lungs were about to explode with anger!

Damn fools, damn Ipswich fans, damn Aldrich, damn madman Roja, you all deserve to die! Damn it!

Bradley Wilson didn’t want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left. He wouldn’t put his face on it and drive madman Lua and fucking Aldrich crazy. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As he left, Bradley Wilson turned his head and stared at Zhong Cheng.

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng’s back went cold. He immediately turned around and saw that there was a Dark Dove staring at him. However, Zhong Cheng searched for a while but did not discover that Zhong Cheng was worth embarrassing and giving up.

“Congratulations, Mr. Loria. You deserve this victory!” A voice rang out, waking Zhong Cheng up.

Zhong Cheng immediately turned his head to look. Ipswich’s head coach Joe Royle looked at Zhong Cheng sincerely and extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng grabbed Joe Royle’s right hand and said, “Thank you! You guys are also very strong. You have a perfect combination of offensive lines!”

Joe Royle smiled and shook his head, “Thank you for the compliment. But our attack mix isn’t perfect enough. We’re still one step away!”

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly, then nodded his head and said, “Yes, if there really is a lack, then it is your wingback position. But now this set is completely capable of dealing with the Champions League!”

Joe Royle admired in his heart that this fellow in front of him was indeed not as ignorant as the outside media had said. This fellow was truly powerful and skilled!

“You see,” said Joe Royle, “so I was wondering how much it would cost to buy Frank Ribery?”

Zhong Cheng was stunned. She did not expect that Joe Royle would come here for this purpose?

Ribery is not for sale at Leeds United. Previously, Wenger and Moyes had praised Ribery endlessly and even thought of introducing him, but Zhong Cheng did not agree. How could he sell Ribery to Ipswich?

Zhong Cheng opened his mouth to refuse, but a sudden thought came to his mind. He immediately said, “Did you know that Everton and Arsenal have their eyes on Frank at the same time? I didn’t agree!”

Joe Royle said very seriously, “I know, but we, Ipswich, are the most sincere! Don’t worry, our offer will never be lower than you think!”

Zhong Cheng glanced at Joe Royle and chuckled, “How much is Darren Bent? Can you help?”

This time, it was Joe Royle’s turn to be dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to use such a question to change the topic. However, Joe Royle frowned. Darren Bent was not for sale on their team. Was this guy really interested in Darren Bent, or was it an excuse to change the subject?

Joe Royle immediately shook his head and said, “Darren is our Ipswich’s future. We Ipswich will not sell him. I think I will disappoint you!”

Zhong Cheng pondered for a moment and then said, “How about this! If you Ipswich successfully upgraded this season and our Leeds United failed to upgrade, I will sell Frank to you. Otherwise, you will sell Darren Bent to me. How about it?”

Joe Royle was slightly stunned. He really didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to make such a proposal. Could it be that this fellow in front of him really had the confidence to lead Leeds United to the next level? Moreover, he didn’t think that he could lead his team to leveling up?

Joe Royle was angry, why the fuck did he look down on me? Looking down on us, Ipswich? We are second in the league! However, on second thought, this was good for him. He was confident that he could lead Ipswich to the next level. If that was the case, would the madman Roja have to sell Ribery to him?

Joe Royle glanced at Zhong Cheng. This fellow was indeed crazy, and his IQ seemed to be a little problematic!

Zhong Cheng might be crazy, but he was definitely not an idiot!

The first reason Zhong Cheng dared to make such a proposal was because he was very confident in himself. He firmly believed that he would definitely be able to lead the team to upgrade. The second reason is that Leeds United have failed to upgrade this season and may not be able to keep Ribery. After all, there are still a lot of teams who have taken a fancy to Ribery and there are no lack of wealthy clubs. The third was that in Zhong Cheng’s memories, Ipswich had won the third place in the league this season and had successfully obtained the qualification to upgrade to the additional round. However, in the competition for the additional round, they had lost and did not succeed in upgrading.

Although, with this little butterfly of his, the third one might not come true. However, the first two were enough. Zhong Cheng was very confident.

Zhong Cheng naturally understood what Joe Royle was thinking. He smiled and said, “Well, do you agree to my suggestion?”

Joe Royle stared fixedly at Zhong Cheng. Seeing that Zhong Cheng was not joking, he nodded and said, “Alright, that’s settled!”

Zhong Cheng extended his right hand to Joe Royle again and said seriously, “It’s a deal!”

Joe Royle nodded firmly and said with the utmost seriousness, “Deal!”

–Division Line–

Seeing Joe Royle’s departing figure, Zhong Cheng smiled faintly and was very happy in his heart.

Zhong Cheng didn’t expect that he would have a chance to detect the leak. This was truly beyond his expectations.

For Darren Bent, Zhong Cheng was not a whim. Darren Bent was indeed very powerful and had potential. In his memory, Darren Bent was a famous player in the Premier League. Every season, he scored a lot of goals in the Premier League. This was the future England international, and he was almost the striker who won the Premier League’s best shooter.

Most importantly, Darren Bent is a very fast striker, and Leeds United are lacking one.

Zhong Cheng thought about introducing Darren Bent at the beginning of this season, but he gave up after thinking about it. Look at the importance that Darren Bent is receiving at Ipswich. Can Leeds United buy him?

Therefore, at the beginning of the season, Zhong Cheng did not humiliate himself and did not bid for Ipswich.

However, Zhong Cheng did not give up on Darren Bent!

Darren Bent has left his first professional club for Charlton for £ 2. 5m after Ipswich failed to upgrade this season, according to Zhong.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng is prepared to bring in Darren Bent at the end of the season.

Facing Joe Royle’s request, Zhong Cheng thought of such a deal. He had locked onto Darren Bent in advance. Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy.

–Division Line–

At the press conference after the match, Zhong Cheng brought Zhong Zheng to attend. Unfortunately, Zhong Cheng did not see Bradley Wilson at the press conference, which made Zhong Cheng no longer interested in the press conference after the match.

Zhong Cheng casually said a few words, and then praised Ipswich fiercely, saying that Ipswich would definitely obtain the qualification for the upgrade supplementary competition this season, and praised Ipswich.

This was beyond the expectations of many media reporters. When did Madman Loria become so good-looking? Even Kelly Fox, who had interacted with Zhong Cheng many times, was shocked. She did not know what kind of medicine Zhong Cheng was selling in his gourd.

Joe Royle, on the other hand, also praised Leeds United, claiming that Zhong Cheng was a very strong head coach. His Leeds United was definitely a strong team, and Leeds United were likely to qualify for the upgrade bonus this season.

The media reporters were even more shocked. What happened to these two today? How could they be so kind, how could they praise each other’s stinky feet? What exactly happened between the two of them? What kind of tacit understanding did the two of them reach?

The media reporters had a keen sense of smell and discovered that something was amiss. They all wanted to explore it as soon as possible and dig it out to see what was going on here.

However, Zhong Cheng and Joe Royle kept their mouths shut, which made the reporters very unhappy. At the same time, they became even more curious and had a strong impulse to dig out the truth.

At this moment, Zhong Zheng, who appeared at the press conference after the match, spoke.

Zhong Zheng said, “Reporters and gentlemen, is your face alright? Did you get swollen by me? If it’s swollen, please go to the doctor first!”

The expressions of the reporters below immediately changed as they glared fiercely at Zhong Zheng, revealing an expression that they wanted to swallow Zhong Zheng alive.

Zhong Zhenshi continued, “At this time, do you still think I’m a piece of shit?”

Looking at the unsightly and speechless media reporters, Zhong Zheng snorted coldly and shouted, “Where did all of your promises go before the match? Don’t you know what I did? Why didn’t you all know everything? Why didn’t you think that I, Zhong Zheng, would behave like this?”

Zhong Zheng’s questioning caused the reporters on the scene to be extremely embarrassed. Their faces were burning hot. This was the real face of being beaten!

The reporters were extremely angry. They hated Zhong Zheng to death, and even more so, they hated Bradley Wilson. Didn’t this damn fellow swear that Aldrich Zhong was a bastard? How could this be?

At this time, the reporters wanted to look for Bradley Wilson’s figure, but now, there was no Bradley Wilson’s voice. Only then did they know that they had been sold by Bradley Wilson.

Zhong Zhenshi continued, “Just like what my brother said, you are a bunch of novelists. Your reports are all fabrications, not facts. I am truly ashamed and sad for your actions. You will never let go of your primordial heart of being a reporter!”
