The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 167

167 Boumsong’s Departure Was Just the Beginning?
The next day, Zhong Cheng took Leeds United to London for the Carling Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Bu Mu Song did not go with the team. Zhong Cheng had already excluded him from his list. In the days ahead, Boumsong will only do one thing, and that is to find himself a team willing to pay £ 15 million in transfer fees.

Fifteen million pounds is a very high price, now!

This was especially true for a centre-back. In this era, a centre-back’s status was definitely not comparable to a striker or a midfielder. A centre-back who could buy at least ten million levels was definitely a top-notch player.

Is there anyone willing to bid £ 15 million for Boumsong now? It couldn’t be said that there wasn’t any, but it was definitely rare!

You have to know that Manchester United paid £ 29. 1 million for Rio Ferdinand from Leeds United in 2002, the highest value for a centre-back at the moment.

If Boumsong really sold for £ 15 million, it would be worth more than half Rio Ferdinand’s worth. At this price, Boumsong could not be ranked in the top ten of the Premier League centre-back transfer price list.

Therefore, it should be very difficult for Boumsong to find such a club!

And now, Zhong Cheng had also excluded Boumsong from the first team, which could be considered a punishment for Boumsong.

Of course, Zhong Cheng could be considered merciful. Unlike many other teams in later generations, he didn’t directly suspend these players from training and salary. Instead, he suspended Boumsong.

Zhong Cheng did not chase Boumsong to the reserve team. He was training with Leeds United’s first team. However, from now on, he was already an outsider.

Even Leeds United players are not as enthusiastic about Boumsong as they used to be, even Zimbonda, who is owned by the same agent.

Boumsong was naturally very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Zhong Cheng was the head coach of Leeds United and the chairman of Leeds United. In Leeds United, Zhong Cheng’s words were an imperial edict!

Boumsong immediately told his agent, Willie Makai, to contact the buyer!

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng led the team to London. When they arrived at the hotel where they stayed, the Leeds players were very excited. The Carling Cup championship was right in front of them. This was the first time they were so close to the championship.

Many of the players in the Leeds RUF were young players, so they were naturally very happy to be able to reach this point. They couldn’t sleep at the hotel one by one, and counsellor David Brown had sent out continuously to calm the hearts of the Leeds RUF players.

There were also many Leeds United fans waiting outside the hotel to welcome Leeds United.

To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng did not know when they had won the support of so many Leeds United fans. He did not expect that so many Leeds United fans would break into their camp so quickly!

Zhong Cheng made great strides on the road to conquering Ellen Road!

After a night of silence, Leeds United began warming up for the Carling Cup final the next day. At this time, countless media reporters rushed to the hotel where Leeds United was staying, wanting to interview Leeds United!

Zhong Chengshi told reporters: “This is an ordinary game. Our opponent is the powerful Chelsea team. We don’t want to win, we just want to play our level and strength. As for the result, let nature take its course.”

Upon hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, the reporters on the scene were dumbfounded. They rarely heard Zhong Cheng speak like this. Wasn’t Zhong Cheng usually full of fighting strength? Seeing who was coming up, he directly scolded who?

Was Zhong Cheng afraid of Mourinho?

Zhong Cheng said: “Of course it’s good to win the championship, but we are satisfied that we can’t win the championship. We have already qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. We are going to play in the UEFA Cup as a promotion. What could be more wonderful than that?”

After saying this, Zhong Cheng was about to turn around and leave!

The media reporters naturally wouldn’t let Zhong Cheng leave. They still had many questions to ask Zhong Cheng. How could you leave like this?

A reporter asked: “May I ask Mr. Loria, what do you think about Boumsong’s transfer? Did you know about it before?”

Zhong Cheng’s expression immediately collapsed. This was the last thing he wanted to hear right now!

Zhong Cheng coldly glared at the reporter and then coldly said, “Everyone has their own choices. He now feels that Leeds United is not suitable for him. I can understand why he wants to leave. Since he wants to leave, I wish him well! I hope his future will be better and better, that’s all!”

Another asked: “It’s said that Boumsong wanted to leave because you lied to him and you took away the place you promised him at the beginning of the season. He chose to leave, didn’t he?”

Zhong Cheng’s two Nasser became even more gloomy: “When introducing any player, I made it very clear that in my team, no one is a regular player. Whoever is in good condition, whoever is on!”

Media reporters asked: “I heard that you have stopped Boumsong III. Will we not be able to see him play for Leeds United in the future?”

Zhong Cheng said coldly, “Nothing!”

“Mr. Loria, is there only one beginning to Boumsong’s departure? Your tyrannical behaviour has made all Leeds United fans feel disgusted, are they leaving as well?” Another asked.

“Mr. Loria, is Ribery leaving as well? It is said that Ferguson and Wenger have both made offers to Leeds United, right?”

“Mr. Roja, will the main force of your Leeds Alliance be sold …”

These media reporters were very excited and asked all sorts of questions. Moreover, these questions were also very bad. Zhong Cheng was very angry.

Zhong Cheng looked coldly at the reporters before turning around and leaving.

As he left, Zhong Cheng shouted in his heart, “Damn Bumsong, are you satisfied now?”

–Division Line–

In interviews with Leeds United players, one question is asked: “Will you also leave Leeds United at the end of the season?”

When the Leeds United players heard this question, their expressions turned very bad and they were all very angry. These damn media are not here to pay attention to this match, but to these gossips.

Ribery said coldly: “Sorry, we have no intention of leaving Leeds United! Even if Manchester United offer £ 50 million, I will not leave. I will stay at Leeds United, always!”

Pique was also angry and said coldly, “I had a good time at Leeds United and we are not weak. We are going to the Premier League and the UEFA Cup next season. Why should I leave? Can other teams fire me better? So what if they do? I still won’t leave Leeds United!”

Las Diarra also said: “I am happy at Leeds United and the boss knows me well. I will not leave Leeds United!”

“Leaving Leeds? Am I crazy, or are you crazy?”

Apparently, all of the Leeds players interviewed by these media reporters had a unified answer, that is, they would not leave Leeds United and did not give them a good look.

This made Gary Arnold Hisith’s expression very ugly. He originally wanted to use this wind to mess up Leeds United, but now it seemed very difficult.

This bunch of damn Leeds United players actually didn’t cooperate at all, damn it!

However, Gary Arnold Hisith immediately thought about it and felt that there must be something fishy about it. Why are the Leeds United players in the same caliber? It was obvious that someone had asked for this. The words these guys said must be the club’s intention, definitely Madman Loria’s intention. This was not the real thoughts of the Leeds United players!

Gary Arnold Hisith chuckled. There was a way!

–Division Line–

The media reporters also rushed to the hotel where Chelsea Football Club was staying to interview the Chelsea man.

Chelsea are doing very well. They are now top of the Premier League and they are very likely to win the Premier League this season. They are trying to drive Arsenal off the throne.

When Jos é Mourinho first arrived in England, he was mocked by countless English fans. It was too arrogant of me to be the number one god!

However, Mourinho’s results this season are really good!

Mourinho was so famous that he became a star coach and even had a lot of advertising contracts flying towards him.

However, his fame is still inferior to Leeds United’s head coach Luciano Roja!

Crazy Roja’s name was well-known in England. He had to be in the newspapers almost every day, and Zhou Zhou occupied the front page. These newspapers were just like his family.

Now that the two of them were clashing with each other, this made the media reporters and fans very excited.

Speaking to reporters, Mourinho said: “Who? Madman Loria, who is that?”

Instantly, all the reporters on the scene were stunned. Mourinho was indeed full of personality, and his combat strength could not be underestimated. This was a heavy punch from the start. Madman Loria lost, completely defeated!

Mourinho continued: “I’m not familiar with Leeds United, but I know some of the players in their squad. They have potential, but they’re too young and too young. It’s easy to beat this team!”

Mourinho is here to act tough, the Leeds fans are very unhappy, berating Mourinho crazily, almost throwing rotten eggs like Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho said: “It was a very ordinary game and I don’t think Leeds could pose any danger to Chelsea. Although the Carling Cup title is very low, I have not won it, so I will win it!”

Jose Mourinho concluded by saying: “I’m sorry, Leeds United, but wait for the next time.”

Drag! Tai Ta Ma was truly arrogant!

Leeds United fans are drooling over Jos é Mourinho, apparently trying to drown him in their saliva.
