The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1395
1395 A Chance to Defend the Champions League
Leeds United beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-0.
This was beyond many people’s expectations, but they are still ranked second in the Premier League.
They won 4-0, not only did they not close the gap with Chelsea, they were now two goals behind Chelsea.
Therefore, Leeds United still lost this round.
With only two games left until the end of the season, Leeds United will have a hard time overtaking Chelsea. They have to be tough and hope that Chelsea have problems of their own.
In the last two matches, Chelsea played away to Liverpool and Chelsea played home to Sheffield on Wednesday. Leeds United played Fulham away and Manchester City at home.
So, in terms of the schedule, Leeds United have an advantage.
Chelsea’s opponents in the last two matches were all very strong. Although Liverpool’s results this season were poor, they were very strong. They defeated many strong teams, including Red Manchester United, Arsenal Gunners and White Rose Leeds United. They were typical of robbing the rich to help the poor.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chelsea to win against Liverpool.
As for Sheffield Wednesday’s team, they were strong enough to be afraid that Sheffield Wednesday’s chairman Kramer would directly throw water on Chelsea.
Leeds United’s Fulham are not strong and should be able to win this match. In the final round, Manchester City still had some strength. After all, they had brought in a lot of strong players this season, even former Leeds United player Yaya Touré.
So, for now, it’s really hard to say who will win the Premier League this season.
However, the English media are still more inclined towards Chelsea. After all, they are more optimistic about Chelsea from the current form and the team’s future schedule. Who called Leeds United’s opponent not just Chelsea but Sheffield Wednesday?
Of course, there are many who believe Sheffield United will not let Chelsea off the hook on Wednesday as they try to qualify for the Champions League next season. They’re definitely not going to let Chelsea off the hook, absolutely.
So Leeds United have a better chance.
At this time, there was naturally a wax gourd lying on both sides of the wall, and Zhong Cheng did not care about this.
After all, whether Leeds United win or not has nothing to do with their predictions. Leeds United will only be able to win this season’s championship with their own efforts, points and goals they deserve.
Now Zhong Cheng is going to let the Premier League game go a little bit, because he is going to face a life-and-death battle. It was the second leg of this season’s Champions League semi-final between Leeds United and Inter Milan.
Leeds United lost 2-1 in the first leg and now they are at a disadvantage. However, this disadvantage did not prevent Leeds United from having a chance. In fact, Leeds United have quite a lot of points now.
In this match, Leeds United only needed one goal to firmly defeat Inter Milan.
Inter Milan coach José Mourinho said: ‘It was a difficult game for Inter. Our opponents Leeds United are very strong and this is their home ground. They only need one goal to turn the world around. “Our goal in this game is not to concede a goal. Our international milan want to reach the final!
That’s what José Mourinho thought.
Yes, José Mourinho is now releasing Inter’s tactics, just defending them.
Of course, José Mourinho was also planning a counterattack. They had to fight back because they could only defend passively and be beaten passively.
Zhong Cheng also does not believe that Inter Milan will continue to defend. Obviously, this is all a lie.
Zhong Cheng naturally wouldn’t let José Mourinho succeed, but Leeds United would definitely carry the offensive banner in this match. Otherwise, Leeds United would be doomed for this match. In any case, the international Milan team would definitely not launch a fierce attack from the start. Right now, they were mainly focused on safety.
Zhong Cheng said in the face of reporters in the media ethics: “This game, vital.” I believe everyone knows that our Leeds United goal this season is to win the Premier League this season. “Now that we have reached this position, I will definitely not give up. In this match, we will definitely go all out to win the opponent!”
Leeds United fans also agree that their main task this season is to defend the Champions League title.
Only by defending the Champions League title and becoming the first team to achieve this ambitious goal after the Champions League reform will they be truly a world power.
Now Leeds United fans are waiting for this opportunity, they are hoping that Leeds United can achieve such a grand goal, Leeds United need the championship, need to defend the Champions League title.
Zhong Cheng added: “I know this game is very difficult, but we are not afraid because we already have a firm goal in mind and we are very confident in ourselves. At our home, our Leeds United will definitely win against Inter Milan. We only need one goal, that’s enough!”
Zhong Cheng’s words were also very clear. In this match, their Leeds United only needed one goal. After scoring a goal, Leeds United’s form and tactics will change dramatically.
Therefore, for Inter Milan, defense is very important, absolutely can not let Leeds United get the first goal. Otherwise, Inter will be completely passive in this match.
Right now, the outside world was predicting this match, but this match was really hard to predict. In the end, there was still an answer. Many people were optimistic about the international Milan team. After all, the curse of winning the championship was quite powerful. Everyone didn’t think that Leeds United could break the curse. Leeds United was still too young and lacking.
Yes, there are more and more reports about this match. Countless people are waiting for this match. This competition was truly amazing, attracting tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people’s attention.
Everyone’s attention is now focused on Leeds United’s home court, Crown Stadium, because this match will be held here.
There are still a lot of fans here today, apart from the fans of the two teams, there are also a lot of neutral fans. There were also many tourists who came to this match. They were not fans of any team, or even fans. They are here to experience the atmosphere. They are here to experience the cultures of different countries.

“Hello, spectators and fans! I am Eddie Gray, whom you are familiar with. Today, I will be partnering with Mark to explain this great battle of the century!” Eddie Gray said.
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV set couldn’t wait any longer. The match was about to start.
The scene was filled with footage of celebrities in the stands. To tell the truth, there were quite a few people, such as Zidane, Platini and the others, who appeared in the stands.
Platini’s presence as president of UEFA was largely due to a visit to Crown Stadium, which will be the final venue of next year’s Champions League.
Therefore, they appeared here. This was like a final. The atmosphere was extremely intense.
The fans on both sides were singing their respective club songs and cheering for their own clubs. They wanted to win this match because they wanted to reach the final of the Champions League.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng walked out. All the Leeds United fans stood up and applauded Zhong Cheng with thunderous applause. The outsiders were shocked. Were the Leeds United fans so respectful of Dai Zhongcheng?
The Leeds United fans cheered enthusiastically, shouting, shouting Zhong Cheng’s name. Zhong Cheng was really treated like a king here.
Zhong Cheng exchanged a few words with José Mourinho before returning to his seat.
“Alright, the players from both sides will be playing soon. At this time, we will use this time to introduce the starting lineup of both sides today!” Andy Gray, the commentator for BBC Sports, immediately shouted.
“Alright, let me introduce the starting lineup of today’s visiting team, Inter Milan!” Mark Lawrenson said.
