The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1383
1383 Did Zhong Cheng Save a Hand?
Liverpool also attach importance to this game!
Liverpool have no hope of playing in Europe this season. It’s been a very, very bad season. However, at this time, they still did not give up.
Hodgson’s gaze was no longer on this season, but on next.
Leeds United don’t have any chances this season. From now on, Hodgson will have to create new tactics and lineup to prepare for the new season.
Liverpool are rich clubs and are not allowed to lose two consecutive seasons without qualifying for the European Champions League.
So next season Liverpool’s minimum goal is to qualify for a European Champions League qualification.
Of course, both Hodgson and Liverpool executives know it’s very difficult.
The competition in the Premier League is really fierce.
Look at the Premier League this season. Chelsea, Leeds United, Arsenal, Manchester United, Leiden East, Sheffield Wednesday, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and their Liverpool team. It’s really scary to have so many teams fighting for four European qualifications.
Therefore, at this time, Hodgson had to prepare as soon as possible.
Otherwise next season Liverpool would have done the same thing as this season. This can never happen again.
This time, he had to pay great attention to the Leeds United team and take a good look at their strength.
In that case, Liverpool will have it next season.
Of course, at this time, Hodgson himself was very confident that his team would be able to win against United.
Hodgson was interviewed by media reporters at Liverpool’s training ground.
Hodgson told reporters: “Yes, my predecessor, Rafael Benitez, did a great job. He helped Liverpool build a successful tactical system. And he led the team to brilliant results. He is the legendary coach!”
Yes, the reporters asked about Benitez.
Rafael Benitez was fired from Liverpool Football Club not long ago and they did not wait until the end of the season to fire Rafael Benitez. This is not to say that they are ruthless, they are hoping to build a new system from this season onwards, so that next season they can usher in a better start.
So, after thinking about it, they immediately fired Benitez.
However, Benitez has left Liverpool with a lot of trophies, especially the Champions League trophy, and the club is very grateful to Benitez.
Therefore, Liverpool Football Club can be considered a human club.
Hodgson continued: “Benitez is not entirely to blame for Liverpool’s performance this season. It’s mainly because of injuries to Liverpool’s key players, which have affected their strength.”
Yes, that’s what Hodgson thinks.
If Liverpool hadn’t suffered so many injuries this season, they would have at least been able to qualify for the European Championship.
Hodgson added: “I sympathise with Mr. Benitez and respect his strength. He is a very strong manager and he is very good. I believe he will succeed after leaving Liverpool.”
At this moment, the Liverpool fans all gave a thunderous applause.
Yes, although Liverpool fans still hate Rafa Benitez in their hearts, they still respect him more.
Rafa Benitez is not to blame for Liverpool’s results this season, but luck. But Rafa Benitez has brought unlimited glory to Liverpool before that. Rafa Benitez is the legendary manager of Liverpool anyway.
Liverpool fans still respect Rafa Benitez and listen to Hodgson. Naturally, they had a good impression of Hodgson, and they also had more recognition of Hodgson.
Hence, it was much easier for Hodgson to get down to work.
So, Mr. Hodgson is also a very smart, very strong and thoughtful head coach.
Then, Hodgson finally spoke about the upcoming match. Hodgson said: “For this game, what we have to say is that it was a very, very difficult game. After all, our opponents Leeds United are the top team in the Premier League and they are very strong.”
Media reporters and Liverpool players all nodded their heads. Liverpool were indeed very strong.
Looking at the results of Leeds United over the past few seasons, that speaks for itself.
And now Leeds United’s lineup is very complete, their two wings flying together again. It’s a terrible thing for Liverpool, and it’s a lot of pressure for them.
Hodgson continued: “We don’t really care about the outcome of this game. We’re going to fight Leeds United to the death to test their strength and to find out what’s going on with Leeds United.”
Media reporters and fans can understand, after all, Liverpool have no ambitions this season.
Hodgson said: “This game, our goal is to restructure, now we have begun to prepare for next season.” I think Liverpool should be the first team to prepare for next season. I believe Liverpool will be able to return to the top of the Premier League next season. We may not be able to win the Premier League next season, but we can at least make it into the top four!
Yes, at this point, Roy Hodgson sets out Liverpool’s goals for next season.
Liverpool and media reporters were stunned for a moment before nodding their heads in agreement that Hodgson’s goal was practical.
Naturally, everyone wanted to win the championship, but could anyone really win it?
Liverpool fans are confident in their team, but they will not underestimate their opponents. As far as Liverpool are concerned, they are still a bit weaker than Leeds United and Chelsea.
However, they are confident Liverpool, led by Roy Hodgson, will be able to fight for the Premier League title next season at most.
Hodgson said: “If you give up, in two seasons at most, Liverpool will be able to rebuild and compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles. Because we have the resources and the defeat, please believe me!”
Liverpool fans are naturally frantically calling Hodgson.
Before the game, Hodgson was so inspiring that many Liverpool people started to support him.
It was very, very helpful for him to start his work. He was indeed an experienced and strong manager. Hodgson is a tough coach.
On this day of the game, there were many Leeds United fans who came to the arena.
Leeds United fans do not want to miss any of their games at the moment. They think these games are very important and they want to see Leeds United’s players step by step into the Premier League championship.
More than 5,000 fans have arrived at Anfield today and there are many Leeds United fans outside the stadium who have come to support the club.
The momentum of the Leeds United fans was very impressive. This made the Liverpool fans look very different. It seemed like these Leeds United fans really wanted to come to Anfield to fight.
Of course, the Liverpool fans were also very confident in this match. They were singing the Liverpool team song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” loudly to cheer for the Liverpool team, and the current Liverpool team was also continuing to win.
The atmosphere was really hot and the fans on both sides were waiting for the start of the match.
The match was also broadcast live by BBC Sports, and now Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray were sitting on the commentators’ stands, commenting on the match.
Every Premier League game is crucial now and no one wants to miss it, especially Leeds United and Chelsea. The two teams are going to start competing now, so they will definitely go all out.
“Alright, now that the players from both sides have come out, let me introduce the starting lineup for both sides today!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Alright, let me first introduce the starting lineup of today’s home team, Liverpool!” Mark Lawrenson said.
Home: Liverpool, Coach: Hodgson, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Reina
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Insua, Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Riera, Mascherano, Steven Gerrard and Babel
Twin strikers: Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt
This is the starting line-up for Liverpool today, which is still a bit different from their regular squad. The main thing is that Carragher is not on the starting line-up at centre-back.
I don’t know why, after all, Carragher’s injury has been healed, and Carragher made his debut in the last round of the Premier League. He hadn’t accumulated a yellow card suspension, and he hadn’t suffered any injuries. I wonder what kind of medicine Hodgson was selling in this gourd?
However, this is Liverpool’s starting line-up for the game.
“Alright, this is the starting line-up for Liverpool. Let me introduce the starting line-up for today’s visiting Leeds United.” Eddie Gray said.
Live and television fans of Leeds United gave Eddie Gray thunderous applause. They were all looking forward to the appearance of Leeds United players.
Guest: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Compani, Louis and Lichtsteiner
Single waist: Sammy Hedilla
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Gareth Bale, Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo
Twin strikers: Levandovsky and Alexander Pato
This was the starting lineup for Leeds United this game. This lineup could be considered the main lineup for Leeds United. However, after returning from injury, Edison Cavani, who was in a hot state, did not appear on the starting line-up today. Instead, he sat on the bench. This surprised many people, not knowing what Zhong Cheng was thinking. Could it be that he was prepared to attack after the second half of the match to replace Edison Cavani?
Anyway, a lot of people think that Zhong Cheng has left a hand to deal with Liverpool.
