The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 142
142 Money Is Fame
Leeds beat Liverpool 4-1 on the road.
This was something that no one had expected before the game. It was amazing that Leeds United had won the away fire.
After the game, the Liverpool players were very angry. They immediately surrounded the Leeds players, and some of them even reached out to push the Leeds players. The scene was chaotic.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng’s eyes went cold and immediately signaled the coaching staff to hurry up and grab the Leeds United players. Now that they had won, they could no longer be hit by Liverpool’s out-of-the-box moves!
Yes, from Zhong Cheng’s point of view, this is a conspiracy played by Liverpool!
It could even be said to be Yang Mou, waiting for Leeds to fall into the trap!
Zhong Cheng was furious and praised the Liverpool players for their intelligence and experience. This group of people really wanted to turn the worst situation into the best situation.
The Leeds United players are very young and can easily be fooled by the Liverpool players. Therefore, Zhong Cheng immediately reacted and told the members of the coaching staff to hurry up and grab the players from Leeds United. Otherwise, if there was any trouble, the 4-1 victory on the road would be meaningless.
The Leeds coaching staff were well aware of this and immediately rushed forward to persuade the Leeds players.
At this time, Albertini, the veteran, played his part. He was trying to dissuade his young teammates. He must not fall for the Liverpool team-mates. He must maintain his rationality, not be provoked by the Liverpool team-mates, and not fall for the trap!
At this moment, the young players of Leeds United were all flushed red and on the verge of fury.
Fortunately, Albertini’s presence in the team and the timely arrival of the Leeds coaching staff prevented the young Leeds players from joining the Liverpool squad.
Liverpool players saw that Leeds United were not fooled and could not do anything else, so they turned around and strode off the pitch. They did not want to stay here any longer.
–Division Line–
Looking at Benitez, who was walking towards him, Zhong Cheng’s eyes narrowed, his face filled with anger.
Looking at Zhong Cheng’s expression, Benitez naturally knew what Zhong Cheng was angry about.
To tell the truth, Benitez was also angry in his heart. But as the host, he had to maintain the demeanor of the host, so he came to Zhong Cheng as the host.
Benitez extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng and said indifferently, “Congratulations, Mr. Loria! You have won this match!”
Zhong Cheng stretched out his right hand and held Benitez’s right hand. “Thank you,” he said calmly.
Rafael Benitez did not say anything else as he turned around and left.
It could be seen that Benitez had a lot of opinions about Zhong Cheng. In this match, they had really changed from allies to enemies!
On the pitch, the fans on both sides still hadn’t left. They were cursing crazily in the stands, venting their anger. There were even people who threw hard objects at the opposing fans.
At this time, the security personnel on the scene were mobilized to forcibly escort these emotional fans away.
Moreover, after arriving outside the arena, security personnel and police escorted these fans away. They were deeply afraid that these emotional fans would clash with each other on the way and cause a series of bad things to happen.
Seeing the Leeds United fans escorted away, Zhong Cheng turned around and left.
Zhong Cheng was also very dissatisfied with Rafael Benitez. This match made Zhong Cheng have a bad impression on Liverpool and Rafael Benitez.
Zhong Cheng came to the side of the Leeds United players and asked them how they were doing. The Leeds United players all said that they were doing well. The only thing they were worried about now was Huntelaar.
Upon mentioning Huntelaar, Zhong Cheng’s mood was extremely bad and depressed.
Zhong Cheng had already received news from there that Huntelaar was going to have a truce for at least a month. This was a huge blow to Leeds United!
Huntelaar is now Leeds United’s number one striker. He is no longer here. Leeds United’s offense will be greatly reduced. Moreover, there are only four players in the Leeds defence, Huntelaar, Olic, Nicklas Bendtner and Michael Rikitts.
Now that Huntelaar is injured, Olich can play, but he is still lacking as a lone center, and Bendtner is too young to take on the heavy responsibility. Not to mention Michael Ricketts, who hasn’t played in a long time.
Apart from Huntelaar, Zhong Cheng really couldn’t find a suitable center.
Therefore, Huntelaar’s injury was a terrible thing for Leeds United. Just like the current weather, the snowflakes in the sky were bone-chilling!
–Division Line–
The atmosphere at the press conference after the match was very strange.
Benitez said with a gloomy face: “It was a terrible game, like today’s weather. My players are in good shape today, but this game will be in the hands of the referee, and it will collapse later. It was a disastrous game, very bad!”
Benitez vented all of his anger on the referee, which made the reporters very excited and excited. After the game, there was a lot of hype.
Rafael Benitez continued: “I have nothing to say about that red card, but Sarif’s actions were a bit rash. This is a red card, I don’t know how to argue! But the Leeds United players were very big and even dangerous before this, why didn’t they have a red card?”
Benitez said: “In my opinion, the referee has a double standard in this match! I am very dissatisfied with the referee’s decision. After this match, I will bring this up with the FA and I will ask the referee association to give us an explanation!”
Media reporters all smiled. This was what they wanted.
Rafael Benitez added: “As for Leeds United, I don’t want to say too much. Perhaps they have shown their characteristics, but they are playing football too brutally. Even against a very intense Premier League game!”
Media reporters’ eyes lit up. Benitez was completely attacking Leeds United. This was big news!
Benitez also said: “The loss of this game does not mean that the series is over.” Losing a 1-4 home game in the first round was really terrible, really troublesome. “But I have faith in our players that in the second leg we will have a full-fledged squad and we will be able to win the game easily and advance to the final of the carling cup.”
Rafael Benitez is full of confidence and the reporters on the scene agree with him.
Although Leeds United beat Liverpool 4-1 in the game, they were just substitutes and young players. Leeds United won’t be able to defend against Liverpool in the next round when they send out all their regular players.
The reporters applauded and thanked Benitez.
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng’s face was ashen, and his mood was extremely unhappy.
Zhong Cheng said in a low voice: “It was a terrible game, even though we won! I am disappointed in this game, the Liverpool people really disappointed me, their performance is not worthy of the label of a wealthy family!”
The expressions of the local reporters in Liverpool changed and they were furious in their hearts. The expressions of Benitez and the others on the stage became even uglier. Zhong Cheng was simply bombarding them directly.
Zhong Cheng said: “Call our Leeds football brutal, don’t look at whose players got the red card? Don’t look at whose players got shovelled and hospitalized? If our Leeds football is brutal, then Liverpool football is even more brutal and brutal!”
The people at Liverpool were furious, but they could only hold back because Zhong Cheng was telling the truth!
Benitez’s expression was extremely ugly, so gloomy that it almost dripped out of his mouth.
Zhong Cheng also said: “This game, be it from the Liverpool fans or the players, what they have shown is very violent, my players are even threatened with their lives, I am strongly dissatisfied with this, and we will also protest to the FA after the game!”
Rafael Benitez’s expression was extremely ugly, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping.
Zhong Cheng added: “Although we won 4-1 in this match, it was not worth it because our main center Huntelaar was tackled and will be injured for at least a month. From here you can see just how rough the Liverpool players are!”
Liverpool local media reporters glared at Zhong Cheng angrily. This fellow was completely tarnishing their Liverpool team. Their mood was very bad.
Zhong Cheng said: “This game, my players did well, I am satisfied with their performance. I hope they continue to play like this, because we Leeds United need more victories, especially after returning home, we Leeds United must not lose to Liverpool, we want to double-kill Liverpool!”
These words made the Liverpool people even angrier. Many people even wanted to rush forward and give Zhong Cheng two big mouths!
–Division Line–
Speaking to reporters, Benitez said: “Yes, I am very interested in Leeds United goalkeeper Scott Carson. I think his future should be at Liverpool and we are confident that he will be brought to Liverpool because he is really much stronger than Aldridge.” But Scott Carson has little chance of making it to Leeds United. He deserves to come to Liverpool!
Benitez said without giving Zhong Cheng any chains.
The media reporters threw the question to Zhong Cheng again.
Zhong Cheng snorted coldly, “Scott is not going anywhere. He will remain with us at Leeds United. We have already prepared a contract extension for Scott. I believe you will receive news soon!”
After saying that, Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows at Benitez and provoked him.
Benitez’s face turned ashen, but he said: “Don’t worry, we are confident we can bring Scott Carson to Liverpool because we have money and don’t want some teams to be in big debt now. And I believe Scott Carson will make the wisest choice for himself!”
This makes the local Liverpool media reporters feel proud. Yes, our Liverpool team is rich and famous. Why, you bite us?
