The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 185
185 Win the Champions League
At the end of the first half, Leeds United led 1-0 away!
After the second half of the game, Leeds United played more leisurely and focused more on defense because they were ahead.
The Leicester City players did not feel the pressure. To be honest, their season of league matches was over, and winning the last two matches would have no effect on them.
Now the players of Leicester City are very open on the pitch and enjoy football very much. Especially the veterans of Leicester City. For them, the game was one less game, especially when there was no pressure like this. At this time, how can you not enjoy the joy of football?
“Leicester City’s attack is coming again! After the second half, Leicester City’s attack is getting more and more aggressive. Can Leeds United defend the score?” Said Mark Lawrenson.
“It’s the side again, it’s that damn Gillespie again!” Eddie Gray gritted his teeth.
Eddie Gray is a loyal Leeds man who has always been furious and enraged at Manchester United.
Winger Gillespie faces Chimbonda’s defenses and knows that Chimbonda is in good shape and fast. Therefore, Gillespie did not forcefully eat Chimbonda. He swayed back and forth in the courtyard a few times. Chimbonda’s position was slightly cheaper. Gillespie suddenly swung his leg in place and crossed!
Without any run-up, the football flew out with a whistling sound.
Chimbonda was shocked and immediately turned to look at the forbidden area of Leeds United.
“James Scowcroft forward!” Mark Lawrence cried out madly!
Gillespie’s pass was very exquisite. He directly passed over the head of Vermaelen, who was at the front point, and then quickly fell down. He did not fly as quickly as everyone had imagined, flying towards the head of high center Dion Dablin.
The football fell straight into the middle of the road, and then a figure rushed up and shot!
With a jump, the football flew like lightning towards Leeds United’s goal!
“Danger!” Countless Leeds United fans on the stands were shocked.
It was too fast. These columns happened too quickly. Everyone didn’t have any hope for Zhong Zheng. However, Zhong Zheng subconsciously reached out and intercepted the flying soccer ball.
With a slap, the football flew out of the bottom line!
–Division Line–
“Wow! Magical save! Magical goalkeeper! Aldrich has become the sharpest goalkeeper in England. Now we have a patron saint in England. Long live England!” Mark Lawrenson cried out in shock.
“This is amazing! This save is amazing. Aldridge is indeed capable of becoming an England international. Sven-Goran Eriksson can bring Aldridge to England!” Eddie Gray said proudly.
The Leeds United fans in the stands gave Zhong Zheng thunderous applause and shouted his name.
Zhong Cheng shouted from the sidelines, “Pascal, keep an eye on him! Don’t give him space to pass the ball!”
Qimbonda couldn’t help but nod his head. Just now, he had really eaten too much. This old fellow in front of him was really a demon. It seemed that he had to focus twelve percent of his attention on dealing with him. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous!
Chimbonda turned around and gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up, saying that he would definitely be able to complete it.
Only then did Zhong Cheng relax and continue to watch the match.
There are still more than 20 minutes left before the end of the game and Leeds United are still leading 1-0. If this result is maintained until the end of midfield, they will be assured of winning the Champions League this season one round ahead of schedule.
On the other court, Sunderland were leading West Ham 1-0 away, and Leeds United could not afford to lose this game.
Zhong Cheng signaled for the defenses on the court to be tighter. No accidents could happen!
–Division Line–
At this moment, the Leeds midfielder suddenly intercepted the ball. Davis blocked Leicester City’s pass with a sliding shovel. Then, he got up on his own and rushed to Leicester City’s half-court with the ball.
The wild boar rushed up!
The Leeds United fans were excited and applauded.
“Wow! Davis’s impact is too strong. His dribble is definitely not the most beautiful. His technique is definitely not the best. However, he dribbles forward at high speed. This impact is enough to shock many people!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
Greg Levin roared, “Defend! Stop him! Stop that wild boar!”
The Leicester City players were on the verge of a major enemy, and the midfielder immediately rushed forward to intercept them. After Davis attracted everyone’s attention, he suddenly pushed the football to the side. Albertini rushed up, kept the ball, pushed it straight, and quickly passed the football under Huntelaar’s feet.
“Huntelaar! Huntelaar has caught the ball. Chance!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
“Shoot! Shoot Leicester City’s goal!”
“Shoot! Shatter the last hope of the people of Leicester!”
“Cannons rumble! We want to score!”
The Leeds United fans roared madly from the stands, reflecting their incomparably excited mood at this moment!
After Huntelaar caught the ball, he turned around and smoothed the restricted area, dodging the attack of tall centre-back Matt Heath.
Matt Heath is a tall player who has excellent flying ability. But his speed and turning around were his greatest weaknesses.
Matt Heath Zhong Cheng also had some impressions. In his previous life, Matt Heath was probably loaned to Leeds United, who continued to struggle in the low leagues, and partnered with Matthew Kilgallon as centre-back.
However, after Zhong Cheng arrives, this will not happen again because Leeds United have returned to the Premier League!
After swaying past Matt Heath, Huntelaar, who had just turned around, did not even look at Leicester City’s goal. He directly swung his leg and shot. With a bang, the football flew towards Leicester City’s goal.
Leicester City goalkeeper Ian Walker didn’t respond and the football flew straight into Leicester City’s goal.
Two to zero!
“Huntelaar! Huntelaar scored again. After he recovered from his injury, Huntelaar scored like crazy. This guy is too sharp! Huntelaar has scored 24 goals and he is now tied with Nathan Ellington, the top scorer on the shooting list! Now the duo are going to fight for the title of Sagittarius!” Said Mark Lawrenson.
“Champion! Our Leeds United is the champion! Champion! Our Leeds United is the champion!” Eddie Gray ignored Huntelaar and now he’s cheering wildly for Leeds to win the Champions League.
Countless Leeds United fans in the stands raised their inflatable Champions League trophy and shouted, “We are the champions! We are the champions! We are the champions!”
–Division Line–
2-0, Leeds United have a 2-0 lead over Leicester City.
There are only about ten minutes left until the end of the game. In everyone’s eyes, Leicester City have no chance of reversing Leeds United, who have already secured the Champions League title one round ahead of schedule.
The Leeds United fans were incomparably excited. They were celebrating excitedly at the Vox Stadium, singing the Leeds United team song and singing “We are Champions”. They were so excited that they almost couldn’t find the North!
On the other side, Sunderland were 2-0 ahead of West Ham United, but Leeds United had nothing to do with it. As long as Leeds United won, they would be the champions!
On the pitch, the Leeds United players were also very excited. Each of their movements were much bigger. They looked so energetic, so … impulsive!
Zhong Cheng shouted loudly, “Calm down! Everyone calm down! The game is not over yet, pay attention to defense, pay attention to defense!”
The Leicester City team’s attack was coming, and it was still a very simple attack.
Centre-back Matt Heath kicked in the back and found centre-forward Dion Dablin. Dion Dablin headed the ball straight back and swung it. Giuseppe Gillespie shot it through the collar and the ball whistled towards Leeds United’s goal.
The speed and strength of the ball were so fast that the Leeds United fans were shocked.
The football was slightly higher than the beam. If it was slightly lower than ten centimeters, the ball would undoubtedly be scored!
The ball scared the Leeds United players quite a bit. The young lads instantly retracted their hearts and threw themselves into defense. They didn’t want to lose their boats in the sewer at the end of the day.
The Leicester City players were not under any pressure to achieve anything, so they attacked crazily in the following matches. As for the goal, they didn’t care about it.
Yes, at this time Greg Levin is training for Leicester City’s offense. Their goal next season is to upgrade to the Premier League. Attack is a problem they have to solve.
Just as Leicester City were attacking, Leeds United seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Albertini suddenly intercepted the ball in the middle, and then a straight kick pierced through Leicester City’s weak defensive line. Huntelaar went to the game one-on-one and scored twice in the face of Ian Walker’s provocative shot, killing the game.
It was Huntelaar’s 25th Premier League goal of the season, but Nathan Ellington scored two goals in a row on another pitch, scoring 26, one head ahead of Huntelaar.
At this time, Leeds United fans did not care about Huntelaar’s feelings. They shouted madly, “We are the champions! We are the champions! We are the champions!”
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng raised his fists high and punched into the sky!
“Congratulations Leeds United! Congratulations Leeds United! They won the Champions League in 2004/05, the first year of the Champions League, and they will forever be in the history books of the Champions League. Congratulations Leeds United, congratulations Madman Loria, they have created a legend this season!”
Mark Lawrenson roared excitedly.
“We are champions! We are Leeds United champions! We are back! Premier League, we are back!” Eddie Gray’s face was full of tears and excitement!
In the end, Leeds United beat Leicester City 3-0 on the road, scoring three crucial points and winning the Champions League first year ahead of schedule.
