The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1413
1413 Risk One’s Life for One’s Future
“I didn’t expect you to be like this, Campbell!” DiMatteo roared angrily at Saul Campbell.
DiMatteo was really angry, very angry!
Saul Campbell treated him like a fool!
Previously, when the two of them went to see Kramer together, Saul Campbell patted his chest and promised that he was on the same side as DiMatteo. Both of them vowed not to play fake football and not to release water for their honor and dignity.
But what about today?
Saul Campbell ignored the heroic rhetoric between the two of them, the Mountain and Sea League, and resolutely kicked a fake ball to give Chelsea points.
Look, in the first half of the game, there was an own goal and a delivery point. Which one wasn’t a drop?
DiMatteo was not angry at Saul Campbell for letting water go, but at Saul Campbell for deceiving himself and treating him like a fool.
When he returned to the dressing room, DiMatteo couldn’t help but roar at Saul Campbell.
When Saul Campbell heard this, he naturally understood what DiMatteo meant.
He immediately turned his head and stared at DiMatteo, “Boss, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
DiMatteo is even angrier. You’ve already done it, why don’t you let me say it?
Dimateo roared, “You know what I’m saying! Why don’t you admit it when you’ve done it?”
Saul Campbell was also very upset. He had clearly not done it, but now he was misunderstood. He was very, very unhappy in his heart.
Sol Campbell stared at DiMatteo and said very seriously, “I know what you’re talking about. I can tell you for sure that I’m not letting the water go. Both goals were accidental. I have to defend in that position, or else I’m going to throw the ball!”
DiMatteo stared coldly at Saul Campbell, speechless.
Saul Campbell understood. He immediately shrugged his shoulders and said, “I know you don’t believe me, but it doesn’t matter. I will prove it in the second half. I definitely didn’t let it go!”
After saying that, Saul Campbell immediately turned around and walked towards the dressing room.
Turning around, Saul Campbell discovered that at least a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him. There were Sheffield Wednesday and Chelsea.
The gazes of these people were very strange, but Saul Campbell ignored them and went straight to the door of the dressing room. At this moment, a voice came from behind Saul Campbell, “You’re not playing in the second half!”
Saul Campbell was slightly stunned. His expression stiffened, and his heart was filled with rage.
Seeing that Saul Campbell was about to explode, Saul Campbell resisted. His paused body instantly moved and he quickly walked into the dressing room, ignoring DiMatteo behind him.
Seeing Saul Campbell’s body disappear into the dressing room, DiMatteo’s mood was very complicated and his heart was filled with anger.
Then, he ignored the surrounding gazes and walked back to his dressing room with a gloomy face.
When DiMatteo walked back to the dressing room, he did not see Saul Campbell’s men. It seemed that this fellow had gone to take a bath.
The atmosphere in Sheffield Wednesday’s dressing room was a bit strange. Everyone didn’t say anything and even lowered their heads.
DiMatteo also knows that the atmosphere in Sheffield Wednesday is very strange. Some players don’t want to lose just like that. They want to go to the Champions League and fight. Some players think Kramer’s £ 8 m prize money is very good and are willing to take it.
Inside Sheffield Wednesday’s team, the hearts of the players were scattered. How could they play this match?
DiMatteo knew that it was useless to say more because he could not change the minds of some players, just like Sol Campbell.
Of course, perhaps, as Saul Campbell himself said, he didn’t let it go. The two controversial chances were unexpected. It was an accident caused by his efforts to defend, not on purpose.
But what is the truth? Who knows?
“I don’t care what you think,” said DiMatteo. “I’m a man who doesn’t know how to let water go!”
With that, DiMatteo turned around and left, leaving behind a room full of Sheffield players who looked at each other on Wednesday. At this time, some Sheffield Wednesday players had already begun to show interest. Sheffield Wednesday was no longer Sheffield Wednesday.
–Division Line–
The locker room of the Chelsea team was also silent.
Many people had witnessed what had happened in the players’ passageway just now. They really didn’t expect the truth of the match to be like this. Sheffield’s people really let the water go on Wednesday.
This made a lot of Chelsea players very unhappy, very uncomfortable.
There was a feeling of guilt!
Although, this thief was not what they wanted to do, but was forced by their opponents. Even they themselves did not want to be this thief. However, he felt a little guilty right now.
Moreover, the Chelsea players felt very awkward in their hearts!
They, Chelsea, are clearly capable of winning the Premier League on their own, so why are you playing for Sheffield on Wednesday? So even if Chelsea win the Premier League, will they say in the future that Chelsea won the Premier League with a fake ball?
This is simply not the embodiment of your Chelsea team’s strength!
These words were really very, very ear-piercing, making people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.
Some of the Chelsea players were very unhappy in their hearts. They were clearly able to earn their living by relying on their strength, but now they had to rely on other people’s help to survive. This was truly unpleasant.
Of course, Carlo Ancelotti was also very unhappy and angry.
Carlo Ancelotti hated the damned Kramer. This damned fellow really didn’t have any integrity at all, causing chaos for their Chelsea team.
Carlo Ancelotti can also see what the Chelsea players are thinking. He doesn’t want the messy stuff to affect the Chelsea players’ condition. The upcoming game will be crucial.
Carlo Ancelotti immediately said: ‘All right, guys, don’t think about all this stuff. Just pretend you don’t know anything and play this second half well. We’re still one goal behind Leeds United and we have to start killing in the second half and score more goals, you know?’
The Chelsea players nodded in agreement.
Indeed, it is not the time for Chelsea players to be in a bad mood. Chelsea are still behind. It is time for the Chelsea man to think about how he can turn the tables in the second half and surpass Leeds United to win the Premier League this season.
The Chelsea players listened attentively to Coach Carlo Ancelotti and pondered how to play the second half.
Chelsea are united in their desire to win the Premier League this season.
Since they have already reached this point, they naturally do not wish for their efforts to be halfway through this season. The Chelsea players are full of fighting spirit and they are confident that they can win the game and take away the championship trophy.
–Division Line–
The atmosphere in the City Club’s dressing room was also somewhat depressing.
Mancini’s expression was extremely ugly. He really did not expect that the first half of the match would end up like that. It was truly unexpected.
Originally, Manchester City had a great chance to lead, but unfortunately, Carlos Tevez didn’t score a penalty. Instead, he gave the Leeds United a chance and they fell behind.
The situation is more critical now.
However, Manchester City also had some advantages, and that was that Leeds United had one less player on the pitch. Manchester City would have a very big advantage in the second half. Manchester City had a chance to win this match.
Mancini told the Manchester City players: “This is a very important game for us. In the second half, we have no way out. I hope you can throw everything away and attack again. We need goals, we need victory, you know?”
The Manchester City players roared, “Got it, boss!”
Mancini knew very well that Leeds United would definitely defend with all their might in the second half without a single player to ensure victory in this match. Leeds United are good at defending and counterattacking, and that’s what they’re good at.
It’s up to Chelsea now. Manchester City have to rely on Chelsea for a living.
As long as Chelsea score, one or two more goals. The rhythm of the Leeds United players will be chaotic, so that their disadvantage will be magnified and their Manchester City team will have more opportunities.
Mancini is hoping Chelsea can score from the start of the second half, so the pressure is all on Leeds United and Leeds United will be in a mess.
Mancini prayed in his heart, “Chelsea, it’s up to you now!”
Of course, the Tottenham Hotspur side prayed that Leeds United would be able to maintain this advantage until the end. That way, even if they lose to Leiden Orient, they will qualify for UEFA’s European league next season.
So, Tottenham Hotspur are now relying on Leeds United for a living.
Tottenham Hotspur are hoping Leeds United can beat Manchester City. After all, they are struggling against Leiden East, so they can’t beat them.
Mancini went on to say to his players: ‘These last 45 minutes are the epitome of our season. If we fail in the last forty-five minutes, our efforts this season will be wasted. Moreover, the club has invested so much money and failed to get the results they deserve. I believe that they will be disappointed and will have a great impact on you!
Manchester City players understand that the club has very strong ambitions. If they don’t do well this season, that means they don’t have the players they need right now, so some of them will leave and then move on to a stronger team.
Manchester City’s treatment is very good, these players are naturally unwilling to leave.
Manchester City players are going to fight for their future.
