The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1386
1386 It Was Zhong Cheng Who Made Leeds United
The 35th Premier League game is over, with Chelsea and Leeds both losing at the same time. This was truly rare, but they were still ranked in the top two.
Chelsea still had 77 points, as did Leeds United.
However, Chelsea are still one goal ahead of Leeds United in the net, so they are still top of the Premier League. Leeds United came in second.
The gap between the two teams is still very, very small, but Chelsea are still one head ahead of Leeds United. More importantly, there was less time left for Leeds United, with only the last three games remaining.
Yes, only the last three Premier League matches are coming to an end.
Leeds United have to beat Chelsea in the last three rounds to win the Premier League this season.
Of course, it doesn’t look difficult because they only need to score one more goal than Chelsea.
And now third in the Premier League is Red Manchester United, who have 73 points. There is only a four-point gap between Chelsea and Leeds United. The gap is not big, but there is an insurmountable gap.
Yes, with nine points left in three games, Manchester United seem to have every chance of overtaking Chelsea and Leeds United. But media reporters and fans are not convinced that such a miracle will happen.
After all, it’s almost impossible for Leeds United and Chelsea to lose at least two of their top three games at the same time.
So Manchester United should be the closest team to Group One this season.
Then there was Leiden East, who scored 72 points, just one point less than Manchester United.
Ranked fourth was Sheffield Wednesday, with 70 points. Ranked fifth was Arsenal, who scored 69 points. Yes, Arsenal lost the game in this round and fell behind.
It was also a big blow for Arsenal, seeing that the season was coming to an end and that something like this had happened, Arsenal did not want to live to be in the Champions League next season.
The rankings at the back hardly affected the competition between the teams at the front.
The competition is fierce as to who will win the Premier League this season and who will qualify for the Champions League next season.
Zhong Cheng has now led the Leeds United players to Italy.
Yes, Leeds United will fly to Italy to face Inter Milan in the first leg of this season’s Champions League semi-final.
At this time, the media reporters were naturally not optimistic about Leeds United.
Leeds United’s recent results have been relatively bad, and they have even lost to Liverpool in the last round of the game, showing signs of weakness.
Now Leeds United fans are waiting for this game, they believe Leeds United can win this game, they are away to support Leeds United.
Leeds United’s opponent, Inter Milan, is very, very strong.
Inter have made unstoppable strides in both the domestic league and the domestic cup this season, with many claiming that they will revive the Big International Age in the middle of the season.
José Mourinho was really amazing. He had built Inter into such a strong team. Right now, Leeds United had no way to compete with Inter Milan.
Before this match, Inter coach José Mourinho said: ‘Madman Loria is a super genius and his team is super strong. Here I would like to say that this match will be a very, very difficult one for us.’
José Mourinho is not lying, he really thinks so.
Zhong Cheng’s Leeds United have proved this in the past few years. This Leeds United team can be the most successful team in European football since 2004-2010. Look at the glory they have received, the global influence they have formed, and the new stars they have nurtured …
Almost all aspects of Leeds United’s performance were excellent, and these were all thanks to Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Chengzhen was the only one who allowed Leeds United to move towards glory, towards a wealthy club.
Now think about how heroic and deafening the young man was when he suddenly accepted Leeds United’s words, “I want to make Leeds a big family.”
At this moment, who else dared to question Zhong Cheng?
To tell the truth, José Mourinho also admired Zhong Cheng very much. This fellow had created so many innovations at such a young age. He was simply the main character model of this world.
José Mourinho felt that if Zhong Cheng continued like this, it would be a tragedy for many rich European clubs, because they had encountered a Great Devil level head coach and president. The club was entirely up to Zhong Cheng. He could give orders and do everything.
José Mourinho was really envious.
Right now, even though José Mourinho has gained a lot of power at Inter, he still feels a little tied up. There are really too many restrictions around him.
When will he be able to be as unfettered as Zhong Cheng?
José Mourinho was really looking forward to this day.
However, what José Mourinho had to consider now was the match before him.
This match is very important for both teams. Neither team will lose the game. Especially the home team, Inter Milan. If the home team can’t win against the opponent, then what’s the point of going away?
Of course, in this game, Leeds United’s goal was to win the opponent and score more away goals.
Yes, scoring away goals is also very important at this time.
Often, when the two top teams meet, it’s all thanks to away goals.
So now Leeds United’s job is not just to win but to score more away goals.
Of course, Inter will not let the Leeds United win easily.
José Mourinho’s Inter defense was very powerful. José Mourinho’s tactics were originally relatively conservative. He had come to Italy to study for a few years, so this defense was naturally perfect. It is almost impossible for Leeds United to score more goals.
José Mourinho is very confident in this regard.
José Mourinho is also giving Inter Milan more confidence that Leeds United have a similar tactic to theirs. However, their tactics were much more high-pitched, unlike Leeds United’s half-court defense.
Internazionale had more high-pitched strikes in the front court and could launch a quick counterattack on the spot after stealing the ball, making their opponents unable to resist even if they wanted to.
Leeds United, on the other hand, defended the middle and back court. After stealing the ball, they relied on their midfield brain to dispatch the ball, sending out a fatal threat ball. Then, they used the speed and breakthrough of the two wings to tear apart the opponent’s defense.
Many media believed that this match would be a very dull one, because both teams attached great importance to defense, and the process of this match would definitely be very dull.
However, to everyone’s surprise, this match had been extremely intense from the beginning.
The reason for that was because the tactics of both teams seemed to have undergone some changes, both of them attacking.
It could be seen that Zhong Cheng and José Mourinho were thinking of going together. They wanted to break the fixed image and catch each other off guard.
No, the two of them directly put it on.
Both José Mourinho and Zhong Cheng’s eyes lit up, their hearts filled with shock. He really didn’t expect that the other party’s thoughts would coincide with his.
This time, this match was interesting.
On the pitch, the players from both sides did not defend and directly attacked. The fans and media reporters were stunned by the exchange of views between the two sides. My God, what happened today? Isn’t this supposed to be a very dull game? Why was the fight so intense from the beginning?
Many media reporters at the scene were beaten in the face and their faces were swollen.
At this moment, Leeds United launched a very fast attack on the pitch. Winger Cristiano Ronaldo and full-back Kyle Walker have teamed up to break through seamlessly.
Then Kyle Walker suddenly swept the ball across the middle of the area and it rolled under Mesut Özil’s feet, who was following in the middle of the forbidden area. Mesut Özil pretended to shoot with a swing of his leg, but suddenly shook his ankle and shoved the football diagonally out. The football quickly drilled into the ribs of Inter’s forbidden area.
Internazionale’s defensive line is a bit loose, with Cristiano Ronaldo stuck in and Inter’s defenders are too late to tighten up.
With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo’s heavy kick sent the ball into Inter Milan’s goal and Leeds United led 1-0.
Seeing this, many of the media reporters at the scene covered their faces with their hands. They really didn’t have the face to see anyone.
Before the game, they had sworn that the Leeds United could not break through Inter’s goal. This time, the Leeds United had broken through their opponent’s goal. It was truly too embarrassing.
José Mourinho was also stunned. He didn’t expect that the competition would end up like this. Why did Leeds United break the door all of a sudden? This is not a good thing, they have already lost a goal away from home.
José Mourinho immediately roared, reminding Inter Milan’s players to attack.
Internazionale striker Eto’o received a pass from midfielder Sneijder in the 30th minute of the first half, then stopped the ball in the chest and shot 30 meters from the goal. The ball flew rapidly towards Leeds United’s goal.
Zhong Zheng jumped out and touched the football, but the football still flew into the goal.
The bell warrior had tried his best, but he still couldn’t block it. The ball was really strong and heavy.
Inter equalised and continued to attack wildly. It was clear that Inter wanted to kill Leeds United at home and their attacks were very ferocious.
Internazionale got a corner kick in the second half.
Inter full-back Sagna curled the ball into Leeds United’s box. In the restricted area, Eto’o was the last to detect a leak and sent the ball into Leeds United’s goal with a kick.
Internazionale were 2-1 ahead at the moment.
