The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 156
156 One Level Above the Champions League
Ten minutes later, Wigan Athletics gradually stepped up their offense.
Athletics Wigan, after their initial probing, began to attack more on the left, with Lee McCulloch as one of their main attacking points. Leeds United right-back Gary Kelly is old and has spent a lot of energy flying back and forth lately. He is not in his best condition and Athletics Wigan are hoping to tear apart Leeds United’s defensive line from here.
Jimmy Brad, the midfielder, turned around with a beautiful pull, shook Modric who was pouncing on him, and knocked the ball gently in the middle, rolling it under Jason Jerett’s feet. Jason Jerrett quickly pushed the ball to the side, and Lee McCulloch quickly pushed forward, flattening Leeds United’s winger line.
Atletico Wigan full-back Leighton Baines rushed up and caught the ball, quickly passing through the half-court. With the help of Lee McCulloch’s passageway.
Right at this moment, Las Diarra rushed over. Without saying a word, it was a ferocious shovel that pushed the football out of the sidelines.
The Wigan Athletics fans sucked in a breath of cold air. This f*cking action was too rough, too fierce! No wonder so many people claim that Leeds United are playing barbaric football, this bunch of damn butchers!
Leighton Byrnes was also shocked.
Lee McCulloch quickly swept the ball across the middle of the field, where Jimmy Brad kept shoving it forward and quickly rolled it towards the ribs of the Leeds United box.
Jason Roberts inserted the ball perfectly. The ball hit the man and he swung his leg and shot.
Jason Roberts was delighted that the ball was here!
The Wigan Athletics fans screamed excitedly and cheered wildly.
“Pretty straightforward, Jason Roberts shot …” cried Mark Lawrence, the BBC’s commentator.
With a bang, Pique, who had been stolen from the football by the shovel on the ground, shoveled the football forward and set the bottom line.
“Wonderful! Wonderful defense! Pique is always in the most critical position at the most critical moment. Good job!” Mark Lawrenson praised.
A corner kick. Wigan Athletics got a corner kick.
Athlete Wigan sent the football away with a corner kick and was directly taken off by Zhong Zheng, who threw the ball with all his might and launched a quick counterattack!
“Coming! Leeds United’s counterattack is coming! Wigan Athletics is in danger!” Exclaimed Mark Lawrence.
After Ribery caught the ball, he sprinted forward. In front of him was an open space, allowing him to gallop. Ribery’s charge was akin to stepping on a wind and fire wheel. His body was like a swallow in the clouds, and his speed was limitless.
Quick!
It was really too fast!
It was so fast that all the Wigan Athletes screamed in horror!
“Defend! Stop him! Stop him!” Paul Javier was also anxious on the sidelines, roaring, shouting, and clawing wildly.
There were only two full-backs left in Sporting Wigan’s backcourt when the corner was served.
At this moment, right-back Nikki Eden lunged forward to block Ribery as he heard the manager’s shout. Nikki Eden was extremely ferocious, just like a fierce general in the battlefield. He emitted a ferocious and fierce aura as he charged forward-a barbaric collision!
Yes, Nikki Eden is ready to foul.
Right at this moment, Ribery suddenly kicked the football fiercely. The football flew five or six meters forward. Ribery also quickly changed directions, circling a half-circle and directly avoiding the ill-intentioned Nikki Eden!
Big strides and human shots!
This was the perfect embodiment of speed and passion. At this moment, Ribery was like the Son of Light, causing everyone present to be speechless!
“Oh my God, is this true? This visual impact is too strong. Ribery is like a skater on an ice rink. He is as fast as lightning and has a graceful posture. He is simply the ultimate incarnation of an elven dancer. Too beautiful, too fast. My God, is he still human?”
Mark Lawrenson was completely conquered by Ribery!
All of the Wigan Athletes sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to speak!
Ribery quickly caught up with the football and stabbed it forward again before Leighton Byrnes rushed forward, speeding past Leighton Byrnes and heading straight into the restricted area of Athletics Wigan to play one-on-one!
Hurry, it’s really too fast!
It had been less than a minute since Ribery caught the ball and he had two men in the Leeds box!
It was so fast that the Wigan Athletes were having trouble breathing.
Faced with the attack of former Australian goalkeeper John Ferland, Ribery circled the ball gently and made an arc, twisting the ball into the far corner of the goal.
John Ferland tried his best but didn’t touch the football. He could only watch the football fly around his hands and into the goal behind him!
In the 13th minute of the first half, Leeds United scored, leading 1-0!
–Division Line–
“I! This was definitely the beginning that no one had guessed! Everyone thought that Leeds United were going to lose. This game was definitely suppressed by Wigan Athletics. They were going to face a storm of attacks from Wigan Athletics. However, after ten minutes of probing, Wigan Athletics had just stepped up their attack when their city gate was broken. They were broken by Leeds United’s lightning-fast goal. “!”
Exclaimed Mark Lawrence excitedly.
But before he could conquer, he was dead; And heroes have wept on their coats ever since!
Some of the Wigan fans in the stands were already in tears!
“I have to mention here that Liz United’s Ribery is really too powerful! Huntelaar has been said by many to be Leeds United’s most successful signing of the season. Huntelaar is important to Leeds and I don’t deny it. “But in my opinion, ribery is the best, because ribery is obviously a level above the champions league, he is definitely a top winger in the premier league, even a top winger in the upper middle of the premier league!
“It’s hard to imagine that such a top winger would only play in the French amateur league before. Could it be that French football players are so powerful? Does a star like Ribery not have the strength to play in the Ligue 1?”
“It’s really unimaginable!” Eddie Gray, the BBC’s commentator, praised Ribery to the skies.
No, he had already praised Ribery to the heavens.
Mark Lawrenson chuckled and said, “My old friend, when did you stand by Leeds United? Didn’t you initially object to Leeds United the most?”
Eddie Gray glared at Mark Lawrenson and said, “I’m from Leeds United. I’m a Leeds fan and I’m naturally on Leeds United’s side. What are you talking about?”
Mark Lawrenson chuckled, “But at the beginning of the season, you had a lot of problems with Leeds and Roja.”
Eddie Gray snorted coldly, “Right now, I have a lot of objections to him. If Leeds United can’t level up, I’ll be the first to curse him! Hmph!”
Mark Lawrenson smiled and remained silent.
Eddie Gray shouted, “What the hell are you laughing at!”
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with the team’s performance. After scoring the goal, the Wigan Athletes strengthened their offense. They frantically rushed forward like a tide, wave after wave, wave after wave fierce. However, his players have done a good job of defending and Leeds United are not under any threat at the moment.
Zhong Cheng came to the sidelines and kept applauding the Leeds United players on the pitch to keep them going.
Davis and Las Diarra have been used for the first time, but the result has been very good. The two of them have erected a barrier in front of Leeds United’s defensive line and it is very difficult for the Wigan players to break through.
Atletico Wigan are now attacking from two wings, both of them selectively bypassing Davis and Las Diarra’s frontal defenses and looking for space on the wings and ribs.
It had to be said that Paul Javier was amazing, and his arrangements were very successful.
Winger Lee McCulloch of Athletics Wigan is really strong, not losing against Gary Kelly at all, even at the top.
Zhong Cheng’s brows furrowed. Gary Kelly was getting old, and his stamina had been exhausted recently. This had a great impact on his strength. This match was not his best form. Now, his defense was a bit difficult.
Zhong Cheng immediately signaled Milner to retreat to help Gary Kelly.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng was also considering whether he should replace Gary Kelly in the second half of the match, so that he could rest and let Sagna go.
–Division Line–
Suddenly, the wind and clouds on the field changed!
Lee McCulloch picked up a cross from Jimmy Brad in the middle, kept the ball moving forward, accelerated the ball and passed Gary Kelly in front of him.
Poor Gary Kelly turned around apparently slower and wanted to foul because he underestimated Lee McCulloch’s speed. In the blink of an eye, Lee McCulloch had pierced through him.
The Wigan fans screamed excitedly.
Lee McCulloch instantly sliced the ball into Leeds United’s box.
Davis, the Leeds United midfielder, has noticed this since he saw that Gary Kelly was not in good shape and had already replaced him several times before. This time, he was prepared, and seeing Lee McCulloch pass Gary Kelly, he immediately rushed over, very ferocious.
Davis pounced on Lee McCulloch just in time.
However, Lee McCulloch had anticipated it. He suddenly stopped and pulled the football backwards, avoiding Davis’ attack. Then, he quickly triangulated the football to the vicinity of the central restricted area.
Jimmy Brad rushed up, swinging his leg to shoot long range.
Ville Mullen rushed out swiftly to block the long shot.
Jimmy Brad gently pushed the ball diagonally forward and it rolled past Vermaelen towards Nathan Ellington, who was empty behind him.
Winger Chimbonda retracted quickly at the moment Vermaelen pounced on Nathan Ellington, but Jimmy Brad passed the ball faster.
Nathan Ellington swung his leg and shot without anyone watching.
With a bang, the football flew towards Leeds United’s goal.
This was an explosive shot near the penalty spot. It was very difficult for Zhong Zheng to save it at such a close distance.
However, Zhong Zheng’s reaction was very fast and he pounced on the football. However, it only touched one point. The football changed direction slightly and flew into Leeds United’s goal.
One to one!
