The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 169
169 You Damn Daredevil
Team: Chelsea, Coach: Jose Mourinho, Formation: 442
Goalkeeper: Cudicini
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Bridge, Terry, Huth and Glen Johnson
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Robben, Geremi, Lampard and Joe Cole
Double strikers: Drogba and Keizman
This was Mourinho’s starting lineup today. This lineup was originally Chelsea’s substitute lineup. There were only two-and-a-half of them. Terry and Lampard were the main players, while Joe Cole could only be considered half of them. The rest were substitutes. Even old goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini became Chelsea’s substitute goalkeeper.
Last summer, just before the start of the season, Chelsea brought in Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech. When he arrived, Cudicini was Chelsea’s main goalkeeper, but it wasn’t long before Cech stole Cudicini’s starting lineup and became Chelsea’s number one goalkeeper.
Last year, it was not that Zhong Cheng hadn’t considered signing Cech. However, Cech was already quite famous at that time. There were many wealthy families that were very close to him, so Zhong Cheng had no way to bring him in.
And Chelsea spent £ 7 million on Cech. That’s a terrifying price. Zhong Cheng can’t afford that much. Look at last summer, Zhong Cheng got the title of “visa-free maniac”.
As for Robben and Didier Drogba, they were naturally not as sharp and powerful as in later generations, because they were both very young and still very young.
They all moved to Chelsea last summer.
Zhong Cheng did not dare to have any thoughts about these two players, because they were both very famous players at that time. One was a Dutch superstar who was chased by countless wealthy families, and the other was the best player in the French Ligue One for the 2003-2004 season, the French Footballer of the Year. Neither of them could be expected by Leeds United.
Last year, Robben and Didier Drogba joined Chelsea for £ 12 m and £ 24. 5m, respectively.
They’re just substitutes for Chelsea.
Team: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4231
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Zimbonda, Vermaelen, Pique and Gary Kelly
Double waist: Las Diarra and Davis
Avant-garde “Left to Right” Ribery, Modric and Milner
Single forward: Olic
This starting lineup is basically the most recent main lineup of Leeds United. From this, it can be seen that Leeds United and Chelsea have completely different attitudes. Leeds United have to go all out to fight for the championship!
Although Huntelaar had already resumed training, he had yet to fully recover from his injuries, so Zhong Cheng did not place Huntelaar on the big list for this match. However, Huntelaar also came to London today. He sat in the stands and watched the match.
The combination at the back today was Las Diarra and Davis. These two were very strong defenders. It could be seen that Zhong Cheng was still worried about Chelsea’s attack.
At this moment, the fans on both sides of the arena were shouting crazily, screaming loudly. They couldn’t wait to see the match begin, and they were all very excited.
The atmosphere at Wembley Stadium was very lively, as if it was a festival.
Du!
At this moment, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the match.
–Division Line–
The Chelsea team controlled the situation. They launched an attack. Their attack was more like taking two wings because their two wings had speed!
Robben and Joe Cole are fast, and the two full-backs are fast. They play a lot of offense on the wing and they play very fast.
On the Chelsea bench was their main winger, Duff. This was a player who was very, very fast. This was the Meteor Mode. It was a charge!
Leeds United’s tactics were still the same as their original tactics. After death and oppression, one word was resentment!
Yes, Zhong Cheng stressed several times during the half-time that in the game, the defense must be tough, must be fierce, frequent body collisions, give the opponent a strong pressure, do not give Chelsea 100-year-old road players a chance to speed up.
The players of Leeds United were meticulously following Zhong Cheng’s instructions. Their tactical execution was very strong and thorough.
Therefore, although Chelsea have taken control of the situation, there are not many chances.
On the contrary, the Chelsea players were playing very uncomfortably, especially the two wings, they simply could not open, they simply did not have the space and opportunity to speed up.
The Leeds United defense was really too brutal, and there were a lot of fouls. The Leeds United players, on the other hand, were well-controlled in their fouls and were simply unable to play cards.
Therefore, the Chelsea players played very awkwardly, very aggrieved.
Jos é Mourinho was similarly aggrieved as he watched from the sidelines, constantly shouting and exerting pressure on the referee. He hadn’t thought that this match would be so frustrating. Leeds United’s performance was beyond his imagination.
Seeing that the winger was blocked, Mourinho immediately signaled the Chelsea players on the pitch not to die on the winger’s side. He went straight to Drogba in front of him and used his attack to tear through Leeds United’s defence.
Chelsea change strategy immediately!
–Division Line–
The Leeds United players played smoothly. This was a familiar rhythm and they played well. Gradually, their forehead performance became better and better.
Furthermore, Zhong Cheng reminded Chelsea winger Arjen Robben in midfield that although he is fast, he is not strong enough to resist, and he is also a glass man. When defending Robben, you must be fierce and try your best to use your body to solve the problem.
Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson is fast, but he is young, inexperienced, reckless and often makes mistakes-a breakthrough, Zhong warned.
Chelsea ‘s german centre-back huth is strong, but his turn is as heavy and strenuous as a lanxiang excavator’ s. Even though Leeds United players don’t know what the hell Lan Xiang Technical School is? But the excavator, they know.
Therefore, the Leeds United players are aware of the Chelsea team’s weaknesses.
At this moment, the Leeds players were patiently defending, waiting for a fatal counterattack!
On the court, the match was very stalemate, and the scene seemed to be very hot. But the excitement is insufficient, both sides of the players are going to fall asleep.
Sure enough, in general, the finals are not a game!
Fortunately, the Leeds fans had anticipated everything before the game, so they were still calm and did not get impatient. They were cheering for Leeds United all the time.
And the Chelsea fans can be very bad mood, very anxious.
In the eyes of Chelsea fans, their victory over Zurich United should have been easy and should have been scored long ago. Now that the door had not been broken, they were naturally very anxious.
Chelsea fans cheered frantically for their team, shouting in unison, “Chelsea go! Chelsea go! Chelsea win …”
Suddenly, the cheers of the Chelsea fans came to an abrupt halt. Instead, the Chelsea fans shouted: “Ah!”
–Division Line–
“Wow! Steal! Leeds United steal! Russ Diarra steals very quickly and decisively, beautiful! Nice steal!” Exclaimed Mark Lawrence.
“Russ Diarra, who looked a head shorter than Robben, easily knocked Robben away. Russ Diarra’s body contained endless power. Counter-attack, Lizzie United’s counter-attack!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
On the sidelines, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho’s eyes lit up as he watched Las Diarra defend. Indeed, there was a reason why this fellow was called “Makelele II”. He really saw Makelele’s shadow from this little fellow.
After stealing the ball, Las Diarra handed the football to Davis, who was beside him.
Compared to his defense, Las Diarra’s offense was at the other extreme, lacking to the point where the two of them pointed at each other.
So, after Las Diarra stops the ball, he hands the football to the person closest to him.
The football rolled under Davis’s feet. Although Davis hadn’t been at Leeds United for a long time, he was now very familiar with the way Leeds played. Therefore, he immediately sent out a diagonal pass, sending the football directly to Ribery, who was inserted in front of the side!
“Ribery! Ribery’s here! Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
Chelsea and Leeds United are mortal enemies. There is a deep grudge between the fans of the two teams. As long as the two teams fight, sparks will spark everywhere!
The feud between the two teams began in the 1960s, and since then, violence has been frequent in the matches between the two teams. The FA Cup final of 1970 culminated in what was also known as “the most brutal game in English football history”.
Afterwards, the anger between the two teams even spread to the edge of the field, and the fans on both sides often frantically clashed. In the 1970s and 1980s, when English football hooligans were rampant, violence broke out more frequently between the Leeds Service Gang and the Chelsea Headhunters.
Leeds United fans see Chelsea as their second biggest rival after Manchester United, and Chelsea fans see Leeds United as their main enemy.
The game between the two teams is never short of gunpowder.
As an old man of Leeds United, Eddie Gray had reason to be so excited and excited.
“Fuck Chelsea, fuck those sparkle Londoners! Ribery, break that garbage Chelsea defence, score!” Eddie Gray is really orgasmic.
The Leeds United fans also jumped up in excitement, shouting wildly as they spared no effort to cheer for Ribery: “Frank, charge! Frank, charge! Break through the rubbish Chelsea defence and score!”
“Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!” Chelsea fans were booing endlessly at Benz Ribery on the pitch. However, after seeing Ribery’s fast lightning speed, they were all timid and dangerous!
There were even Chelsea fans who cried out with a dark face, “It’s over!”
On the pitch, Chelsea winger Glen Johnson saw Ribery rush up and rushed forward.
On the sidelines, Mourinho’s expression suddenly changed as he cried out in alarm, “Damn reckless!”
