The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 133

133 Ten Consecutive Champions League Victories
In the twenty-sixth round of the league, Leeds United returned to their home ground against Plymouth.

Plymouth were ranked 17th in the league. This position was almost impossible to upgrade, but there was still a risk of relegation. Therefore, the Plymouth players had their targets for this match.

However, in this round, Leeds United defeated their opponents 2-0.

The scorers were Huntelaar and Ribery, who are currently in Leeds United. The top two players on the shooter’s list performed well.

Especially Huntelaar!

Huntelaar is Leeds United’s number one shooter, but his name is not the most famous in the Leeds RUF. Right now, the two most famous in the Leeds RUF are Ribery and Pique.

However, what Zhong Cheng was most optimistic about was Huntelaar!

Huntelaar was the sharpest saber in the Leeds RUF, and also the simplest saber!

Huntelaar was like a peerless assassin. At first glance, he looked inconspicuous, but he was the most dangerous and fatal!

Huntelaar’s goals were generally not particularly spectacular, but he did score the most goals in the Leeds RUF, the most consistent point of attack.

In private, Zhong Cheng praised Huntelaar many times. The players of Leeds United knew very well that Huntelaar was Zhong Cheng’s favourite player.

Huntelaar was also very confident. In this match, he scored a goal and an assist, helping Leeds United score three points again!

In the dressing room after the match, Zhong Cheng praised Huntelaar.

After the 26th round of the Premier League, Leeds United had already reached 53 points and was firmly at the top of the Premier League. This made Leeds United very happy and excited. They had seen the hope of their team upgrading.

In the following week, Leeds United were also very busy, having a week of double matches.

Because time has almost crossed to 2005, 2004 is coming to an end.

Two days later, Leeds United will play the 27th round of the Champions League on January 1, 2005. They will play Crewe at their home Aylan Road Stadium. Two days later, on January 3, 2005, Leeds United will play the 28th round of the Champions League. They will go away to challenge Coventry.

Neither team was ranked very high. It shouldn’t be a problem for Leeds United to win them, but Leeds United had already won eight consecutive games. Now, everyone was guessing when Leeds United’s winning streak would end.

After these two games, the Champions League will come to a halt because there are still some international players in the Leeds United squad, such as Chimbonda and Gary Kelly. However, there are fewer international players in the Leeds United squad because most of them are young players.

Players without an international day have no holidays, and during this period Leeds United have a very important game to play: on January 11, 2005, Leeds United will play away to Liverpool in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final.

This match is very important for Zhong Cheng because he has great ambitions and wants to qualify for the UEFA Cup next season!

Now as long as they get past Liverpool, they will definitely qualify for the UEFA Cup next season. Zhong Cheng will definitely go all out in this match!

Almost all English league matches are decided in one game, only the semi-final is played at home and away, so for Leeds to qualify for the UEFA Cup, they have to beat Liverpool in two games.

Liverpool are a very strong team and difficult to deal with.

However, Liverpool Football Club is a wealthy club. There are a lot of players in their national team, almost all of whom are international players. Therefore, the FIFA virus in Liverpool will definitely be very serious, this game, Liverpool will certainly be a full substitute.

Therefore, in Zhong Cheng’s view, Liverpool will definitely play on the bench this game, which gives Leeds United the opportunity to take advantage of, Zhong Cheng is hoping that the team can take away a victory at Anfield away, so that they will take the initiative after returning to the home court.

That’s what Zhong Cheng is planning, and that’s what he’s asking the Leeds players to do.

The young players at Leeds United were naturally very happy. It was the UEFA Cup! A lot of young players are their age but they haven’t even played in the first team. They are going to play in the UEFA Cup now. They are really lucky.

At this moment, Bendtner, Peeker, and the others were all glad that they chose Leeds United. If they had gone to Manchester United and Arsenal, they would have been wasting their time in the reserves and youth teams.

It’s New Year!

Although Leeds United still had a very important league game to play at the Ellen Road Stadium that afternoon, Zhong Cheng returned to his parents’ house early in the morning to pay his New Year greetings to the two old men.

Evidently, the old clock still did not give Zhong Cheng a good look, and even directly flung his sleeve away when he saw Zhong Cheng!

Amelia, Zhong Cheng’s stepmother, sighed helplessly and comforted Zhong Cheng.

Both of them were so stubborn that they were carved from the same mold. As expected, they were worthy of being father and son!

When Zhong Cheng returned home, the two little fellows were very happy. They were pestering Zhong Cheng and teasing him.

Emily, this little witch, had simply received the true legacy of Isabella, which made Zhong Cheng’s head ache endlessly. Zhong Cheng hurriedly left home because he still needed to lead the team to compete in the evening. He left these two bear children because he was afraid that if he continued to stay, his heart would not be able to stand it!

On the same day, Zhong Cheng received good news.

It was Andy Simmons, Zhong Cheng’s business assistant, who finally bought a factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy that Zhong Cheng had visited before and was quite satisfied with.

And today, the two sides finally agreed that as long as both sides sign, the factory will be loyal.

Because there was a competition today, it was indeed impossible for him to leave, so Zhong Cheng pushed it to tomorrow for the transfer ceremony to be held tomorrow.

Recently, Andy Simone wasn’t just running around the factory. He was also helping Zhong Cheng register his company. Now, Zhong Cheng’s electric razor company had set up a shelf. Once the factory was in place, Zhong Cheng’s electric razor could be developed and even manufactured.

Of course, Zhong Cheng’s electric razor company is not called “Thorpe Electric Razor”. Zhong Cheng is a bit rotten and directly calls the company “Zhong Cheng Electronic Technology”. Thorpe Electric Razor will be the first product developed by the company.

The news from Andy Simmons was really good news, and Zhong Cheng was very happy.

Now that Zhong Cheng’s career had slowly begun, he was very happy. However, this process was indeed quite slow. The matter of recruiting people to expand the guild had to be resolved as soon as possible. It was truly troublesome!

At the same time, Zhong Cheng also saw the news that Kevin Blackwell had really come out to coach the new team.

Brighton fired their head coach this morning, hiring Kevin Blackwell, who had appeared at home, as their new head coach. Just this morning, the Brighton Club held a press conference at which Kevin Blackwell made his inaugural statement.

Clearly, Kevin Blackwell accepted the job with passion.

Moreover, Kevin Blackwell said, “There are two reasons for accepting Brighton. One is that I was moved by Brighton’s sincerity, and the other is that I came to teach Madman Loria a lesson!”

Obviously, Kevin Blackwell was still thinking about leaving Leeds United!

Upon seeing this news, Zhong Cheng smiled and did not pay much attention to it.

However, these media reporters heard the news and rushed towards Leeds United and Zhong Cheng. They were here to interview Zhong Cheng and see what Zhong Cheng was thinking.

In front of the reporters, Zhong Cheng said: “Congratulations to Mr. Blackwell, he successfully found a job, that’s all!”

Yes, he said nothing to Kevin Blackwell except this.

This left the reporters speechless, so they said that Zhong Cheng disdained Kevin Blackwell, thinking that Kevin Blackwell was nothing to worry about.

Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly. Was this what he meant?

Forget it. Isn’t that what media reporters do all the time?

–Division Line–

On January 1, 2005, Leeds united against Crewe at home!

This is the 27th Champions League game of the season, and it has attracted a lot of attention because they are speculating that Leeds United’s winning streak will be interrupted in this one game? Was Leeds United going to end an eight-game winning streak, or was it going to be a one-game winning streak?

This match is really too much attention!

A lot of people came to this match, the Leeds United fans at the scene had already changed into their home shirts, They had already returned to the Ellen Road Stadium to watch the game. Their interest was very high. Many people’s minds had already changed. They were frantically praising Zhong Cheng, just like when Zhong Cheng first bought Leeds United, they were filled with confidence in Zhong Cheng!

Of course, there were still many diehards on the scene who were still firmly opposed to Zhong Cheng.

The atmosphere at the Ellen Road Stadium was still a little tense, so there were a lot of security personnel at the scene, and the formation was very big.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United took the lead. This was very rare in this season. This was beyond many people’s expectations. In the 19th minute of the first half, Leeds United center Huntelaar scored a goal to help the team gain the lead.

Huntelaar caught the ball from Ribery in the middle of the road, and he was able to empty-handedly, but he was still unable to do so!

Once this goal was scored, the Leeds United game would be much easier.

In the following matches, Leeds United scored three consecutive goals. In the end, Leeds United defeated Crewe 4-0 at home and won nine consecutive Premier League matches!

Huntelaar scored twice in this match and continued to perform well.

Shortly after the game, Leeds United set off to face Coventry in their 28th Champions League game of the season.

After this match, the International Day of Matches will begin.

Zhong Cheng was the main force in this match. In this match, Zhong Cheng still had only one goal, and that was to win.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United’s tactics were very different from the previous game. They went back to the defensive counter-attack routine. Coventry played Leeds in half-court. They couldn’t help but attack at the beginning of the second half. In the eleventh minute of the second half, Leeds United scored a goal with a quick counterattack. Leeds United defeated Coventry 1-0.

The goal was still scored by Huntelaar!
