The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 155

155 Changes Made by Zhong Cheng
Leeds United’s pre-match interview spread throughout the British continent, even Zhong Cheng’s exclusive interview. After hearing these words, many people laughed. Leeds United were really arrogant. Were you able to win this match if you wanted to?

Especially the Wigan fans, who mocked Leeds United for being number one!

If there is a rule that the outcome of a football match is decided by mouth, then Leeds United is definitely the winner. This season’s Champions League champions are all Leeds United, even the Premier League champions are Leeds United!

Wigan coach Paul Jewell told reporters before the game, He said: “Leeds United’s record was excellent. They won twelve consecutive games. It was really desperate. At that time, almost everyone thought that if Leeds continued to win like this, there would be no suspense in the Champions League this season.”

After pondering for a moment, Paul Jewel continued, “But as you can see now, Leeds United may be strong, but they’re going through a lot of ups and downs. Nobody knows, after twelve consecutive victories, they seem to be going through twelve consecutive losses.”

“Leeds United are in a terrible situation right now. They have a lot of difficulties in the game and it is very difficult for them to win at this time. And we at Wigan have been doing fairly well. I believe we can do our best to win this game!”

“Yes, we are confident in winning this match. Leeds United will not be able to bite without Huntelaar or the Tigers without teeth. We at Wigan Athletics have been preparing for this match for a long time and I believe we will win this match!” Paul Javier said loudly.

Paul Javier was born in Liverpool, a metropolitan borough of Merseyside in north-west England, A former football player, The striker, who came from Liverpool Youth Academy but did not play for the Liverpool first team, then moved to Athletic Wigan and spent 10 years on loan at Brentford, where he played 269 games, scored 56 goals and retired as head coach.

After retirement, Paul Jewell joined the Brentford coaching staff and later became the head coach of the team, leading the way to upgrade to the Premier League. He then turned to Sheffield on Wednesday and was fired shortly after.

Paul Jewell returned to his former club Athletics Wigan in June 2001 and remains the head coach of Athletics Wigan.

Paul Javier has some fame in England now. He is a famous major general in England.

Paul Jewell has coached Athletic Wigan well this season and is a big favourite for promotion. The strikers he has created are the best in the Champions League and the Wigan president is pleased with them.

All the Wigan players are now waiting for Paul Jewell to bring Sporting Wigan into the Premier League.

At this moment, Paul Javier was so confident that it came from his own strength. He was very confident in facing the reporters and said with a strong voice, “They will definitely win this match!”

–Division Line–

Jason Roberts, the best striker in Athletics Wigan, told reporters: ‘Huntelaar is a very strong striker. He is very comprehensive and a respectable opponent. It’s a pity that we can’t play him in this game.’

Jason Roberts added: “Yes, I’m going for the best shooter in the league this season. I believe in myself. I’m in great shape now. I think I can score another 10 goals or so. Yes, that’s how confident I am!”

Some media reporters almost couldn’t hold back their laughter. How could this fellow be a joke!

Jason Roberts continued: “Obviously, Leeds United have been strong this season, not as bad as they say, and Madman Loria have been a bit strong. Leeds United are number one in the league, after all. But now they seem to have a problem, a serious problem.”

Jason Roberts chuckled, revealing his snow-white teeth, which contrasted sharply with his black skin.

He said: “I think this is a chance for us at Wigan and we are in good shape. My partner and I are in good shape and we are full of energy. We are going to win this game!”

Indeed, Athletic Wigan are no less confident than Leeds United.

Later, Jason Roberts’ partner, Nathan Ellington, was interviewed by media reporters.

Nathan Ellington told reporters: “Yes, Jason is right. We are in great shape. I feel that we will score at least three goals in this game. We will start the Berserk mode and lead Athletic Wigan to the top!”

Nathan Ellington added: “Leeds are strong, but there are many problems, especially without Huntelaar. Leeds are not scary and we are confident of winning this game. This is our home ground, please believe us!”

“Is he really like this? No, no, no! The best shooter of the season is definitely not him. The best shooter must be me, Nathan Ellington. You see, Jason is out this season and I contracted the award!”

“What? I’m one goal short of him now? There are still more than ten rounds left in the league. Is there a big advantage in one goal? Brother. You see, the best striker this season must be me, definitely!” Nathan Ellington said with a strong voice.

Lastly, Sporting Wigan goalkeeper John Ferland told reporters: ‘The Leeds counterattack was very strong, but with Huntelaar around, Huntelaar no longer exists. How did the Leeds score in this game? How did they win?’

Phelan added: “I am very confident in our offense in this match. Nathan and Jason are in excellent form. In training, I have been abused by them. I believe that young man from Leeds United is not a match for Jason and Jason. This match will undoubtedly be won by Athletic Wigan.”

–Division Line–

Before the match, the players on both sides were very confident that they would win this match. When they were interviewed, they all had 250 to 80 thousand gold coins, as if their victory had been firmly grasped by them.

After getting these reports out, it naturally attracted a lot of fans to pay attention to this match.

This was not a battle between Heavenly King Mountain and it was a battle that was more like a battle between Heavenly King Mountain and Heavenly King Mountain. If Leeds United lose this game, they are likely to be crowned top of the league by Ipswich.

This match might be a dynasty change match.

This naturally attracted countless people!

Countless media reporters also rushed to Wigan, Grand Manchester Prefecture, to watch this match.

The weather in Wigan on that day was not bad. There was strong sunlight. It was really good in this winter season. It wasn’t too cold.

On this day, Wigan Athletics’ home JJB stadium was packed with people. The fans of the home team had already decorated the stadium like a Patty stadium, and the atmosphere was very hot.

Wigan Athletics fans wearing blue home shirts cheered for their team by singing their team songs excitedly. The atmosphere was extremely good.

Leeds United fans from afar also refused to admit defeat and loudly sang the Leeds United team song.

–Division Line–

The starting lineup of the two teams today is as follows:

Home Team: Wigan Athletics, Coach: Paul Jewell, Formation: 442

Goalkeeper: John Ferland

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Leighton Baines, Matt Jackson, Ian Blakin and Nikki Eden

Four midfielders “Left to Right”: Lee McCulloch, Jason Jerett, Jimmy Brad, and Gary Till

Twin strikers: Jason Roberts and Nathan Ellington

Guest Team: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4231

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Zimbonda, Vermaelen, Pique and Gary Kelly

Double waist: Edwin Davis, Russ Diarra

Three avantgarde “left to right”: Ribery, Modric and Milner

Single forward: Olic

This was the starting line-up for today. There was nothing to say on Athletic Wigan’s side. On the other hand, there was a big change on Leeds United’s side, especially in midfield and forward.

Zhong Cheng had used Davis and Russ Diarra at his back today. Both of them were hired by the black and hard defense. Both of them had excellent running ability and large coverage. This way, Leeds United’s defensive hardness in midfield could be achieved.

The biggest difference between Davis and Russ Diarra is that Davis is equally good offensively, his dribbling breakthroughs and assists are excellent, especially his impact is very, very strong. Many people claim that Davis is a B2B player, but of course many people don’t agree with him. However, no one could doubt Davis’ defensive and offensive abilities. This fellow really had two brushes on his sleeve.

It could be seen that Zhong Cheng’s intention today was to strengthen his defense.

Zhong Cheng attaches great importance to the two strikers at Athletic Wigan. After all, these two are the best combination of strikers in the Champions League.

However, before the game, Zhong Cheng specifically reminded Leeds United’s defenders to pay special attention to Wigan Athletics midfielder Jimmy Brad, which was the core of Wigan Athletics. Paul Javier said of Jimmy Brad-he was the heart and soul of the dressing room!

This showed how important he was at Wigan Athletics. This fellow’s defense was not bad, and his ability to organize attacks was not ordinary. He had the ability to pass a threat with one kick, so he had to focus on the person he was looking for.

That was why Zhong Cheng had sent Davis and Russ Diarra to this match. This was to kill the Wigan Athletics’ front-court attacking team!

Now that the match had begun, the players on both sides were still testing and did not rashly press down. Leeds United’s defensive counterattack naturally wouldn’t be rashly suppressed, referring to Athletics Wigan.

This was the home ground of Wigan Athletics and they did not play. This showed that Wigan Athletics were still worried about Leeds United. After all, Leeds United were still the top team in the Champions League.
