The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 162
162 Losing, Losing, Losing Face!
Corner!
It was still Brighton’s corner!
The Leeds United fans looked very nervous. This is not right. Why is Brighton, the relegation team, suppressing our Leeds United? What kind of situation was this?
Could it be that Kevin Blackwell is more powerful than crazy Roja?
Many fans had such questions in their minds.
Gary Arnold Hisith was delighted in the stands and believed it was only a matter of time before Brighton scored.
Looks like Crazy Roja isn’t very reliable. He thought Kevin Blackwell would have to expend a lot of effort to get rid of Leeds United in this match. Looks like he’s thinking too much. He thinks too highly of Crazy Roja.
Haha!
Gary Blackwell chuckled with contempt.
Not far away, Kelly Fox calmed down. Her eyes glittered with surprise as she looked at Zhong Cheng.
From the beginning of the match until now, Zhong Cheng was not nervous at all. Instead, he stood quietly by the side of the field, his hands crossed over his chest. He was extremely calm and composed. He didn’t seem to be worried at all about the game on the court and was very relaxed.
Having been in contact with Zhong Cheng for a long time, Kelly Fox knew Zhong Cheng very well.
Zhong Cheng’s appearance meant that he was confident!
Kelly Fox exclaimed in her heart. It turned out that Roja had been trying to set Kevin Blackwell up. Kelly Fox also remembered what Zhong Cheng had said to her-if he wanted it, he had to give it to her first!
Kelly Fox calmed down and waited for further developments.
–Division Line–
The 31-year-old veteran midfielder, Charlie Ottawa, is an indispensable midfielder in Brighton. His experience and organization, as well as his passing skills, are impressive and Kevin Blackwell relies heavily on him.
Zhong Cheng also had some understanding of this veteran, because after this fellow retired, he had once been to Yunhai Shenhua, who was in the Chinese Super League, to be an analyst for the team. Back then, when Zhong Cheng was working as a translator for Lippi at Evergrande in Guangdong Province, he had seen this guy.
Who would have thought that this fellow would still be working in Brighton!
It could be seen that this fellow was very strong. He was still the core of Brighton’s midfield at his age.
Charlie Ottawa once again curled the ball into the Leeds United box and flew towards the high point of the box, Guy Butters!
Seeing Guy Bates jump up high and reach football, the Leeds United fans took a deep breath and cried out in shock, “It’s over!”
At this moment, Zhong Zheng rushed out and jumped high, directly removing the football from Guy Bates’ head!
“Beautiful! A beautiful attack. Aldrich is really too powerful. He is really too comprehensive. I can’t even see any weaknesses in him. High-altitude balls, ground balls, long-range shots, strikes, reactions and so on are all very powerful. I firmly believe that he will definitely be England’s national goal in the future! The only thing he lacks now is experience in the game!” Mark Lawrenson gave a very high evaluation.
The Leeds United fans were also very excited as they shouted Zhong Zheng’s name again.
On the other hand, Gary Arnold Hisith, who was standing in the stands, was slightly stunned. His expression was also a little gloomy as he coldly snorted, “Humph, the weak team will only go out! Leeds United, are you weak enough to want to rely on a goalkeeper to upgrade? You guys are too naive!”
–Division Line–
Zhong Zheng also lived up to Mark Lawrenson’s high evaluation. After steadily taking off the football, he quickly ran forward and threw out a hand. Pomegranate, throwing the football to the side.
Ribery, who was on the side, had long since understood each other. They had fought countless times with this kind of cooperation.
Ribery swiftly interrupted, and the two of them cooperated perfectly.
Brighton full-back Paul Watson looked at the ball. He instantly judged that Zhong Zheng had thrown it big. The ball was simply thrown to him. He sped up and rushed towards the football. He was very confident that he could destroy the football before Ribery.
Kevin Blackwell snorted coldly.
Ribery was furious, “Damn Blackwell, I’m going to show you the strength of the French junior league, tremble, Kevin! Burst out, Little Universe!”
Ribery seemed to be a modified sports car in a high-speed Mercedes-Benz and suddenly switched on the nitrogen device. It was like a flying ship that instantly switched on its rocket booster and shot out abruptly.
A white bolt of lightning flashed past, and under Paul Watson’s astonished gaze, he easily stabbed the football forward, causing both the person and the ball to flash and rush out.
‘”Here we go, Ribery! This Scarface’s extreme speed is coming again. Oh my God, he’s actually accelerating twice while running at high speed. Is he equipped with a catapult or a rocket booster? Fast, simply too fast!”
“Oh my God, look, Paul Watson is about to cry!”
“One-shot, Ribery-shot! The Leeds counterattack was really too fast, just a single pass and it formed a single-shot. Is Aldridge going to complete the assists? Haha, Aldridge has become the most assists goalkeeper in the Champions League, hahaha!”
Mark Lawrenson roared excitedly.
“One knife, one knife for Ribery” Brighton’s Dutch goalkeeper Michelle Kuippers attacked. “Oh, beautiful pendulum. France copied Ronaldo’s classic. He passed the Dutchman. Empty goal. Ribery pushed the football into the empty goal. One to zero.” Eddie Gray roared frantically. All the Leeds United fans cheered.
–Division Line–
“Me! Xie Te! Damn it!” In the press gallery, Gary Arnold Reese vented his anger by smashing the cigar in his hand onto the ground.
Kelly Fox jumped up excitedly, and the waves immediately surged!
The young man in the east instantly rubbed his hands together, raising his hands high and cheering excitedly with the Leeds United fans beside him, venting the passion that surged in his heart!
The blonde beauty immediately stood up and excitedly shouted Zhong Cheng’s name, “Luo Yazhi is awesome!”
On the pitch, the Brighton fans felt extremely aggrieved and unhappy. They were clearly taking the initiative and were about to break through Leeds United’s goal, but how did it end up like this?
Being stolen by an opponent so easily, they were very unhappy in their hearts!
Kevin Blackwell, the head coach of the Brighton team, was the most displeased. His eyes almost burned, especially when he saw Zhong Cheng, the head coach of Leeds United, not celebrating at all, but casually wiping away the straw on his shoes.
Kevin Blackwell was furious and wanted to punch Zhong Cheng in the face!
What made Kevin Blackwell even angrier was that the goal scorer, Ribery, rushed over from across the field and rushed in front of Kevin Blackwell. He turned his head to face Kevin Blackwell and frantically used both of his hands to direct the name on his back as if to say, “Old man, do you know who I am now?” Now you know the strength of the French Lower League, right?
Remember, I’ll call Ribery. I’ll endorse the French Lower League!
All the cameras at the scene were aimed at Kevin Blackwell, whose face was pitch-black and his eyes were on the verge of spitting fire.
The other members of Brighton’s coaching staff immediately rushed over and shouted at the fourth official, “This damn fellow is provoking us. He is humiliating us. This should be a red card. A red card should be sent off!”
The referee did not give Ribery a card but gave him a verbal warning. This made the Brightonians very dissatisfied and angry. Kevin Blackwell almost vomited blood from anger!
–Division Line–
Leeds United led 1-0 in the first half.
Kevin Blackwell was furious in the dressing room at half-time. The Leeds players all congratulated Ribery and praised him for doing a good job. He should be so angry with that damn arrogant Kevin.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the unconvinced Kevin Blackwell continued to let the players attack. They wanted to win this game.
But Leeds United are very defensive, with Pique, Vermaelen, Russ Diarra and Davis in the middle of the line of defence making Brighton uncomfortable and unlikely to have many chances. Gary Hart is hard to do. On the contrary, Leon Knight, who is short and fast, is doing well.
Leon Knight got the chance in a row, but his shot was neutralized by Zhong Zheng.
In the twentieth minute of the second half, Zhong Zheng pushed the football forward with a big foot. The short Olich actually stood in front of Guy Bates and the football quickly flew towards Modric’s feet.
Modric faked a long-range shot to attract the attention of the Brighton players, and then he gently jumped the football into Brighton’s box.
Brighton’s defenders were shocked and immediately turned around to pounce on Ribery in the restricted area.
On the sidelines, Kevin Blackwell roared like an enraged beast, shouting for the Brighton players to defend.
Guy Bates and Adam Wilgo slid their shovels towards Ribery.
These two fellows had already killed Red Eyes, regardless of whether it was a foul or not, they couldn’t even reach anyone with their shovels. They were just shoveling at him fiercely.
Seeing all of Brighton’s defenders come up ferociously, Ribery, who had no shooting space, suddenly threw the ball back to the front of the restricted area and rolled towards Modric.
At this moment, Modric was completely empty in front of him, without any obstruction!
On the sidelines, Kevin Blackwell’s face turned deathly pale as he exclaimed, “Danger!”
At this time, Brighton’s defenders were shovelling towards Ribery. It was too late to get up. The front of their forbidden area was empty and dangerous to the extreme.
All the Brighton fans in the stands were pale without a trace of blood.
Gary Arnold Hisith’s face was gloomy.
Good opportunity!
Modric didn’t hesitate at all. Looking at the football rolling over, he had plenty of time to adjust. Instead of stopping, he gently pushed the football forward, adjusted it, shook his arm, swung his right leg, and struck it like a whip-Pia!
“Break it!”
Modric shouted and used his maximum strength to shoot.
Football was like a shooting star in the night sky, like a rocket flying into the universe, flying towards the goal of the Brighton team.
His speed was too fast, and his strength was too great!
In front of the goal, Michelle Kuippers did her best, but still did not pose any threat to the ball.
The soccer ball flew straight into Brighton’s goal and smashed into the white ball net. Instantly, the net surged into the sky, shaking mountains and rivers!
Two to zero!
After scoring the goal, Modric followed Ribery’s example and ran in front of Kevin Blackwell, pointing at the name on his back and humiliating Kevin Blackwell.
This time, Modric didn’t have such good luck and got a yellow card!
However, even so, Kevin Blackwell’s anger did not diminish at all. Instead, he became even angrier. He frantically expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee and felt that both Modric and Ribery had been sent off.
In the end, Kevin Blackwell angered the referee and was sent to the stands with a red card.
In the end, Kevin Blackwell lost!
