The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1322
1322 Nobody Can Stop Leeds United
In the 23rd Premier League round, Zhong Cheng led Leeds United away.
Leeds United versus Portsmouth.
Portsmouth are now four wins, two draws, 16 points and 14 points, the last place in the Premier League, and are in favor of relegation, six points less than Hull City in the safety zone. The season is still long and Portsmouth are clearly reluctant to relegate.
However, their strength was indeed limited. Now that they had encountered Leeds United, they would definitely not have any good results. But this game is at home and the Portsmouth naturally want to win.
Portsmouth naturally sent out the strongest lineup they could send at the moment. Their minimum goal at home was to score points, and every single point was acceptable.
Portsmouth naturally hoped that Leeds United would retain their defensive posture so that they could get a chance.
Zhong Cheng led the Leeds United players to the away game. He arranged a full substitute lineup to let the Leeds United main players rest. The Portsmouth naturally wanted to see this lineup. They seemed to see a chance of winning the game.
So the Portsmouth are full of confidence.
However, in the 15th minute of the first half, Leeds United winger Eden Azar was like a possession of Messi. He moved continuously on the winger’s side, and after losing three people, he pretended to shoot and sent the ball back to the front of the restricted area with the inverted triangle.
Levandowski’s low kick sent the ball into the dead end of the goal.
Leeds United led Portsmouth 1-0.
Portsmouth still underestimated the strength of the Leeds United substitutes. These substitutes had also experienced bloody battles and their strength was not ordinary.
Of course, Lewandowski is the main force of Leeds United and he is playing today. This was a special request he made to Zhong Cheng. He wanted to start this match.
Zhong Cheng didn’t ask so much why he let Levandovsky start.
The Portsmouth people shook their heads when they saw this. They felt that there was no chance of winning this match. The Leeds United were really strong and they could not win.
But the Portsmouth did not give up. They continued to attack.
If you can’t get three points, you can at least get one point, right?
Yes, the Portsmouth think so. They can get at least one point in this game.
The Portsmouth man did cause some trouble for the Leeds United, but the threat level was still not high enough. The Leeds United’s defense was still as solid as gold. Leonardo Bonucci did a very good job, a very steady job.
Leeds United widened their score in the third minute of the second half.
Leeds United midfielder Tony Crosse sent out a fantastic straight shot that rolled to the front of Vardy, who shot the ball into Portsmouth’s goal.
Leeds United beat Portsmouth 2-0 on the road and scored three points.
Getting these three points is very important for Leeds United so they can stay at the top of the Premier League.
The current situation is naturally very tense for Leeds United.
Because the teams behind them have been putting a lot of pressure on Leeds United, they have to close the gap between them and the teams behind them as soon as possible.
The 24th Premier League game, which will be played on January 30, is the end of January. Leeds United returned to their home court at Crown Stadium. Their opponent was Blackburn and they weren’t very strong.
Blackburn scored 27 points, ranking 14th in the Premier League, midstream and downstream. He had some strength, but he shouldn’t be very strong. But Leeds United are definitely not to be underestimated.
Of course, there is some good news, that in this round, the second-ranked Chelsea team will clash with the fourth-ranked Leiden East, Chelsea away to Leiden East. Also, Arsenal will play Manchester United at home.
Therefore, this round of matches should be a good opportunity for Leeds United to open up the gap between their scores and those of the teams behind them. Regardless of whether or not a team decides between the two matches, Leeds United are able to distance themselves from at least two teams, which is a very good thing.
Of course, the premise now is that Leeds United must keep winning.
At the same time, the next round will be very tense for Leeds United. That is, Leeds United will go away to face Leiden Orient in the next round.
Yes, in the next round, Leeds United will challenge Leiden Oriental Club.
The Leiden Oriental Club was very strong. Leeds United had to fight each other head-on. Therefore, the importance of winning this round is self-evident.
In the 24th round of the league, Leeds United had to win.
At this moment, Zhong Chengshi led the Leeds United players to the Crown Stadium. They were facing Blackburn.
To tell the truth, Blackburn’s strength last season was not bad, and they did well for a while. However, it was still the same sentence. Their bench was not deep enough, and some of the main players were injured. Naturally, their results were very bad.
Facing such a team, Leeds United naturally had a goal, which was to directly kill their opponent and get three points.
Three points is very, very important to Leeds United, who want to win any game.
In this match, Leeds United had a half-main and half-substitute lineup, because they had to prepare for the next round of matches, and Leeds United were going to face Leiden East in the next round of matches.
Of course, in the next round, Leeds United also had a huge advantage.
Because in this round of matches, Leiden Oriental Club is going to clash with Chelsea. The next round of matches will definitely be very exhausting. This is the chance for Leeds United.
At this time, the Leeds United-Blackburn game was played one day earlier. Chelsea play Leiden Orient, Manchester United play Arsenal one day late, so the game is now between Leeds United and Blackburn.
Leeds United have a semi-starting lineup for today’s game. The starting lineup is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Danny Ross, Leonardo Bonucci, Matts Hummels and Kyle Walker
Single waist: Sammy Hedilla
Three avant-garde “from left to right”: Eden Azar, Tony Clos and Cristiano Ronaldo
Twin strikers: van Nistelrooy and Alexander Pato
This was the starting line-up for the game. It could be seen that Leeds United wanted to let some of their main players rest and win the game without any mistakes.
Three points. Leeds United are very, very committed to three points.
At this time, Chelsea, Leiden East, Manchester United and Arsenal are definitely watching the game from the front of the TV because it is very, very important for them. They all want Leeds United to lose.
Of course, they knew it was difficult because Leeds United’s opponents weren’t strong.
However, after the game began, Blackburn’s players still created a lot of trouble for Leeds United, threatening their goals one after another, and Zhong Zheng’s performance was outstanding, blocking the ball out in succession.
Of course, the Leeds United defenders were doing well, but unfortunately Blackburn had the majority of long-range shots and did not penetrate the area. Moreover, their long-range shooting ability this game was very, very good. Their shooting was really powerful.
It could be seen that Blackburn’s condition today was very good. They really came to take away the victory today. At this time, Blackburn also needed to be relegated. After all, there was still so much time left in the next year’s competition. Who knew what would happen in the end?
Therefore, for the three-point Blackburn Club is also very much needed.
Blackburn played well, giving Leeds United a break at the start of the game. Unfortunately, the Blackburn man was still a bit short of scoring goals.
Twenty minutes had passed since the start, and Blackburn’s three moves were over. The players of the Leeds United team had already adapted to Blackburn’s rhythm and routine. This time, Blackburn did not have much chance.
Chelsea, manchester united, leyton east and arsenal both shook their heads in front of the tv. If the blackburn were not lucky, they would not have been able to win this game and their chances of losing were very, very high.
These people were extremely disappointed. The Blackburn people had truly let down their expectations.
These people naturally knew that if this continued, who else could stop Leeds United? Leeds United are already very impressive and, more importantly, very stable. If they continue like this, what else are the other teams going to do?
Although they did not have any expectations for Blake’s team, these people did not leave the TV. Their gazes were still fixed on the screen and they continued to watch the match.
Yes, these people were still hoping for miracles to happen in their hearts.
The second half of the first half of the game began with Leeds United counterattacking. The Blackburn had no choice but to be tired of defending at this moment. They could only follow in the footsteps of Leeds United and eat their ashes behind them.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng on the sidelines felt that there was no problem in this match. Leeds United would undoubtedly win this match.
As expected, towards the end of the first half, Leeds United winger Cristiano Ronaldo and central midfielder Tony Clos pierced through Blackburn’s defensive line after two consecutive crosses. Cristiano Ronaldo went straight into the box and sent the ball into Blackburn’s goal with a low kick.
Leeds United were ahead 1-0.
Sure enough, Blackburn can’t cause any trouble for Leeds United.
Leeds United took the lead at the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Leeds United still held the initiative. The Blackburn tried to resist, but in the end, they were unable to stir up any waves. The game was still dominated by Leeds United and Blackburn had no chance at all.
Cristiano Ronaldo made a comeback in the 26th minute of the second half but was knocked out of the box by the Blackburn man. The Leeds United were given a decent free-kick, with Cristiano Ronaldo standing in front of the ball, taking a deep breath and hitting the door with a heavy cannon instead of an elevator ball.
This exceeded Blackburn goalkeeper’s expectations and the human wall. The football flew past the edge of the human wall and quickly crashed into the bottom right corner of the goal.
Two to zero.
