The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 171
171 This Damn Old Fox!
After a short 15-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the field.
Sure enough, the emotions of the players on both sides had subsided a lot. They were not as crazy as they were at the end of the first half. If the game continued as it had been at the end of the first half, it could not be said that the game would be interrupted in less than 90 minutes.
The players on both sides were filled with gunpowder!
However, it was much better after half-time!
Apparently, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is trying his best to restrain the Chelsea players. Because they are behind now, they shouldn’t focus too much on competing against Leeds United. They are more focused on scoring goals, scoring more goals and winning games.
How could Mourinho allow the Leeds to achieve their dirty goals?
The Chelsea players reacted as well. Indeed, they were misled by the Leeds United and were fooled. This made the Chelsea players even angrier. They clenched their fists and wanted to fight Leeds United!
Of course, this big fight was worth it in the match, not in the fist!
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea were obviously paying attention to the game and attacking crazily. Moreover, their offense was different from the first half. They weren’t on the centre wing, but directly knocked on the centre.
Although Mourinho knows the Leeds United midfield defence is very sharp, he is confident in their Chelsea midfield offense because of Lampard and the shocking Didier Drogba!
Didier Drogba was like a bulldozer, capable of crushing everything in front of him.
Suddenly, in Chelsea’s backcourt, Geremi’s long kick sent the ball straight to Drogba.
Drogba instantly used his strong body to support Vermaelen behind him.
Vermaelen tried his best, but Didier Drogba remained motionless and stood still.
“Holy shit, no wonder the boss said that Drogba was a magical beast!”
Vermaelen’s heart tightened, he became even more serious and devoted, stubbornly following Didier Drogba’s side, becoming Didier Drogba’s little follower.
At this moment, Drogba jumped up high and ferried the ball to his partner Keizman with a header from Vermaelen.
Keizman, a former Dutch Ligue 1 striker who won the Ligue 1 golden boots in 2000-2001, 2002-2003 and 2003-2004, scored 126 goals in 172 appearances for Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven from 2000 to 2004. Last season he scored 31 league goals in the Ligue 1 and set a record for Eindhoven.
He joined Chelsea at the beginning of the season and was originally introduced as a major striker, but he was unable to find his form, so he became a substitute striker for Chelsea.
However, Keizman is a strong striker. He is a striker who attaches equal importance to speed and skill. His ability to catch fighter jets in front of the goal is not inferior to his three club vanguard Romario, Ronaldo and van Nistelrooy. What he lacks is experience in Europe.
However, he now seems to be lost in Chelsea’s golden attack!
Football came to Keizman’s feet, he took the opportunity to enter the restricted area of Leeds United, out of the shooting gap. The Chelsea fans were very excited and raised their hands, believing that the goal was certain to be scored.
However, just as Keizman swung his leg and shot out, a person suddenly shot out from the slant. With a bang, the football Keizman shot out produced a bottom line.
“Beautiful! Peeker’s reinforcements are really timely. This shovel is perfect!” Mark Lawrenson immediately exclaimed madly.
Leeds United fans applauded Pick and shouted his name.
Keizman couldn’t help but shake his head. His movements weren’t slow anymore. Peeker’s arrival was too timely. This guy couldn’t be underestimated!
On the sidelines, Mourinho shook his head and was in a bad mood.
–Division Line–
Corner kick, Chelsea get a corner kick!
Luo had originally arrived at the corner area, and with an arc of his kick, the football flew towards the back point.
Didier Drogba jumped up high and pressed down on Vermaelen once more, hitting the Leeds United goal.
“Holy shit! Where did this nigger come from?” Leeds United fans clutched their mouths and cried out in alarm.
Didier Drogba jumped too high and his physique was very strong. This seemed to be crushing the young Vermaelen.
With a bang, the football flew towards the back corner of Leeds United’s goal in the eyes of the delighted Chelsea fans. Chelsea fans raised their hands in celebration of the goal.
With a slap, Zhong Zheng flew out from the side, and his movements were extremely relaxed as he threw the football out of the bottom line!
Leeds United fans immediately gave Zhong Zheng a thunderous applause and screamed excitedly.
On the sidelines, Mourinho’s eyes lit up, reflecting the movement of the ball. This height … Hiss, this Leeds United goalkeeper is no worse than Jack Cech in their club!
Mourinho couldn’t help but glance at Zhong Cheng and mutter to himself, “This damn lunatic is so lucky!”
The Chelsea team won the corner kick again.
Robben still drove the football backwards and above Drogba’s head this time. They had tasted the sweetness and wanted to do so!
Vermaelen was not timid, but he was as if he was facing a great enemy!
This was the toughest opponent Ville Mullen had encountered since arriving at Leeds United, because this guy was different from the other centers he had encountered, because this guy’s body was too strong, and his physique was very strong in all aspects. He was simply using his body to crush him, it was like a U16 player fighting against a U20 player, being completely tortured!
Didier Drogba and Vermaelen jumped up high. The two of them fought desperately for the football. Both of them exerted their strength fiercely, and their bodies were unable to hold on any longer.
Two dogs fight for a bone, and a third runs away with it!
Just as Didier Drogba and Vermaelen were fighting to the death, Zhong Zheng rushed out and raised the football high in the air, taking it off Didier Drogba’s head and hugging it firmly in his arms.
Jose Mourinho’s eyes lit up and he exclaimed: “Such a tall body actually has such movement speed, my god!”
Zhong Zheng immediately ran out with the ball in his arms, wanting to launch a quick counterattack. However, this time, Chelsea were prepared to intercept Zhong Zheng along the way and did not let Leeds United counterattack him.
Leeds United had no choice but to switch to formation warfare!
–Division Line–
Chelsea’s attack came again and the football came to Drogba’s feet. Drogba immediately took the ball like a bulldozer and ferociously rushed into the Leeds United box.
Didier Drogba is a very savage player, bringing the ball with him is a barbarian king collision!
At this time, Drogba’s footwork was very rough. He could often stop the ball for three meters. Moreover, he relied solely on his body to resist a hard collision. There was almost no technique to stop the ball. After all, he has just arrived at Chelsea and is being coached by Mourinho. He has yet to become the future Magic Beast centre-forward!
Didier Drogba now relies on his body to play football!
However, such a centre-back did restrain a centre-back like Vermaelen. Didn’t you see that the centre-backs of Vidic and Senderos in later generations were made to lose face by Drogba? Especially Senderos, he was directly overshadowed by Drogba and directly sunk down, disappearing from the crowd!
Zhong Cheng was also worried that Vermaelen would not be able to withstand it and that Drogba would play with him.
Zhong Cheng immediately called Vermaelen to his side and instructed, “Don’t fight Drogba head-on. You can’t do it. There aren’t many people in the Premier League who can handle this bison. You have to use your advantage to defend against him, okay? Use your predictors, cards and flexibility to defend against him!”
Vermaelen nodded as he kicked his breath heavily.
Drogba’s brutal collision just now almost killed him. Fortunately, Drogba’s shot flew straight into the sky!
Zhong Cheng also reminded: “His feet remember very rough, especially when stopping the ball, so it is very important to snatch, but try not to have physical contact with him, you know?”
Vermaelen kept nodding. Understood!
Zhong Cheng patted Vermaelen on the shoulder and said, “Hurry up and defend!”
–Division Line–
Chelsea are attacking again!
Vermaelen had found a way to defend Drogba, so he wasn’t so nervous anymore. Seeing Drogba catch the ball, Vermaelen followed carefully, waiting for Drogba to make a mistake.
Vermaelen thought about it carefully. Zhong Cheng’s words made sense. Drogba’s feet were too rough, and he could not control the ball very often. This was his chance.
Just as Vermaelen was waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him like a spirit snake. Didier Drogba suddenly slanted the ball to the side and the ball quickly rolled towards Robben.
Vermaelen was shocked. Why didn’t Drogba barbarously charge into Leeds United’s defensive line? Has Chelsea changed the direction of their attack again?
After passing the ball, Didier Drogba rushed out and frantically rushed into the Leeds United box.
Vermaelen immediately turned around and chased after Drogba. Vermaelen’s speed was relatively fast. He was following Drogba.
However, at this moment, Robben, who was on the side, directly crossed and the football quickly flew in.
He drew an arc and circled around Vermaelen’s forehead, heading towards Drogba, who was beside him.
With a bang, Drogba smashed his head into the football.
The football shot out like a loaded cannon towards Leeds United’s goal.
In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng immediately threw himself sideways and struck the football with one palm. However, the football was too powerful. The football changed directions slightly, but it still flew into the goal of Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but turn his head and stare at Mourinho: “This damned old fox!”
Just as he was reminding Vermaelen of how to defend Drogba, Chelsea changed their attacking style and moved from the centre to the side.
Zhong Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air. Mourinho’s tactical sense of smell was really too sharp. As expected, he was worthy of being a world-class coach, a Champions League-level coach. It’s moral for someone to be a little arrogant!
Zhong Cheng took a deep breath and walked to the side of the field. He gestured with both of his hands to calm the Leeds players down. Steady, take your time!
One to one!
Chelsea equalised, and Drogba, who scored, was very excited. He rushed to the side, jumped high and kicked the flagpole, roaring excitedly.
He was also very tired and aggrieved in today’s match. The Leeds centre-back’s defense was really good, making him feel a little uncomfortable. He had been suppressing a fire in his heart, and now this fire had finally been vented!
Good!
Drogba spread out his hands and roared!
