The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 200
200 Is It Still the Same Trajectory
Istanbul, also known as Constantinople, straddling the two continents of Europe and Asia, was once the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and was also an important city of the Turkish Republic established in modern Kemal. In 1923, the Turkish Republic moved its capital from Istanbul to Ankara.
This season’s Champions League final will take place at the Atasco Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
Located on the western outskirts of Istanbul, Turkey, the Atask Olympic Stadium was built in 1999 and completed in 2002 for the Olympic bid. The Stadium has a track and field track and is not a professional football field. But last year the stadium was rated by UEFA as a five-star UEFA football stadium that could be used to host the highest level of European Cup football-the Champions League.
Atasek was referring to the founding father of Turkey, Kemal. This stadium was equivalent to Turkey’s national stadium and could accommodate 83,000 people. This was much larger than the Ellen Road Stadium.
No wonder Zhong Cheng wanted to renovate the Ellen Road Stadium or migrate to a new stadium.
Today, the Atasco Olympic Stadium is packed with people. Obviously, we can’t squeeze in more people. In other words, more than eighty thousand people had arrived. This number definitely exceeded the capacity of the stadium.
The stadium was filled with spectacular spectacles.
Zhong Cheng, Isabella George and the others entered the stadium after most of the fans had already entered the stadium. They were led directly to the VIP box by the staff.
Looking down from the VIP box, this scene was really too naked. The Turkish fans were really too enthusiastic. They set off fiery red fireworks on the pitch. The entire pitch was filled with fireworks, making it look very fantastic.
The fans on both sides of the arena were very excited. They were singing the team songs of the two teams in unison, and their voices were extremely loud.
The chorus of tens of thousands of people was simply too shocking.
This is the final of the Champions League, this is the top game of the European Club!
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng made up his mind that Leeds United would definitely enter the Champions League next season.
“Ah! Roja, look at the players. The game is about to start!” Isabella George jumped up and down like a little girl who hadn’t grown up. She was very excited.
Julia Olivera, who was standing beside her, was much more normal. She stood there dignified, forming a stark contrast in an instant.
“Boss, who do you think will win this match?” Zhong Zheng walked over to Zhong Cheng with his glass in hand.
Isabella George and Julia Olivera turned to look at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng is a football coach, his opinion should be different from everyone else’s, right?
Zhong Chengmen glanced at Zhong Zheng and said, “Brat, you are a professional athlete, drink less wine!”
Zhong Zheng was stunned, and then immediately said unconvincingly, “Boss, I’m already an adult. I have my own freedom, so you won’t bother with me, right?”
Zhong Cheng said, “I don’t care about you. I’m just reminding you. What you do is up to you!”
Zhong Zheng glanced around for a while before curling his lips and placing the wine cup in his hand on the table.
Zhong Zheng looked at the stadium and continued, “Boss, you’ve already taught him a lesson. Tell me, who do you think you are optimistic about?”
Isabella George and Julia Olivera just smiled and didn’t speak.
Zhong Cheng looked at Zhong Zheng and said: “I am optimistic about Liverpool. I think Liverpool will win the Champions League this season.”
Zhong Zheng immediately said: “No way, now a lot of people are optimistic about AC Milan, look at their formation Shevchenko, Kaka, Seedorf, Nesta and Dida and so on, I don’t think Liverpool will win!”
At this time, the Rossoneri were indeed very powerful, and could be said to be at their peak. The Rossoneri of the past few years are nothing to compare to them, but if nothing unexpected happens, Liverpool should be victorious.
Zhong Cheng said: “AC Milan are naturally very strong, perhaps Liverpool want to enter overtime or penalties.”
Isabella George and Julia Oliveira’s eyes lit up. Why did Zhong Cheng think that this match would go into overtime and penalties?
Zhong Zheng stared at Zhong Cheng in astonishment and said, “My brother, your idea is really weird! Watch and see, AC Milan will win!”
Looking at Zhong Zheng’s unusually resolute appearance, Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “I really didn’t see that you are still a fan of the Rossoneri!”
Zhong Zheng Yan immediately retorted, “Hey! It has nothing to do with who I am. I’m just a Leeds fan!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and didn’t say anything.
–Division Line–
At this time, the players from both sides walked out of the stadium, and the atmosphere on the ground reached a peak.
The fans on both sides had gone mad and burned, jumping and shouting as if they had already won the Champions League.
The referee of the match, Mehuto Gonzalez of Spain, soon whistled at the start of the match. The first to kick off was the Rossoneri AC Milan, who launched a ferocious attack like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
The starting lineup of the two teams is as follows:
Team: AC Milan, Coach: Carlo Ancelotti, Formation: 4-3-1-2
Goalkeeper: Dida
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Maldini, Nesta, Stam and Cafu
Three waist: Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso
Single front waist: Kaka
Twin strikers: Shevchenko and Crespo
Team: Liverpool, Coach: Rafa Benitez, Formation: 4-4-1-1
Goalkeeper: Dudek
Four defenders “from left to right”: Traore, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Lithur, Harvey Alonso, Steven Gerrard and Luis Garcia
Single front waist: Kewell
Single forward: Baros
This was the starting line-up for both sides today. Obviously, there were some changes on both sides. On the Rossoneri side, Carlo Ancelotti chose Crespo instead of Great Inzaghi, who was drifting. This was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Liverpool’s lineup is out of all expectations, Benitez did not choose to use three waist, but changed the formation, took a 4-4-1-1 formation, let Kewell start. Kewell hasn’t played many games this season because of injuries and Benitez’s choice of him is too bold.
And when it came to the choice of striker, if it exceeded everyone’s expectations. Cisse, who scored twice in the final round of the Premier League, has been in high spirits recently but is sitting on the bench today, starting with last year’s European Cup winner Jose Manuel Barrosh.
Seeing this lineup, everyone knew that the competition between the two teams had already begun.
Everyone’s eyes were now focused on this match. They wanted to see who had won the match before the match, and see who had obtained the first chance in this match!
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng was rather nervous at this moment, because he would soon know how much influence his butterfly had on the current world.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes were fixed on the field, not moving at all.
Isabella George and Julia Olivera’s hearts tightened. What was wrong with Zhong Cheng? Why is he so nervous? Could it be that he made a big bet in this match?
Yes, when he first arrived in Turkey, Zhong Cheng had just placed a bet on this match at the betting and lottery company when he went out to play.
Isabella George and Julia Oliveira were really afraid that this would happen.
To tell the truth, the odds before the final were not very good, and Zhong Cheng only bought a little symbolically. He was so nervous because he was a little worried about the butterfly effect.
However, Zhong made another big fortune when he placed a bet with bookmakers more than two months ago to buy a £ 3 million title for Liverpool.
Now that the match had just begun, some of the fans in the stands were still not in their prime. For example, Zhong Zheng, Julia Oliveira, Isabella George, and others were beside Zhong Cheng. And the Rossoneri players on the pitch are in shape.
Not long after the game started, Brazilian genius Kaka broke through on the right and was placed on the ground by Leeds United left-back Traore.
Rossoneri midfielder Andrea Pirlo has arrived in front of the ball and is in charge of the free-kick.
Pirlo’s direct free-kick was amazing, but the distance was a little far, a little off, shooting from time to time, so the Liverpool fans weren’t nervous.
However, Zhong Cheng was very nervous in the VIP box. If he remembered correctly, the first goal of the game was coming.
Isabella George and Julia Olivera were worried when they saw Zhong Cheng’s nervous expression.
It was at this moment that Pirlo ran away. He did not drive a high ball to look for Stam Nesta and other high points in the box. Instead, he shot a low draw. This exceeded the expectations of the Liverpool players in the box.
Paolo Maldini, who was lying in ambush on the outskirts, shot sideways in mid-air and hit the football. It was clear that Paolo Maldini did not eat the right parts, but it had an unexpected effect.
Paolo Maldini kicked the earth and the football bounced back into the net. There was nothing Dudek could do!
Everyone present was stunned!
It was only 52 seconds, less than a minute away from the start of the race.
The moment the football entered the net, Zhong Cheng excitedly jumped up and fiercely waved his fist. He thought in his heart, “It’s not wrong, it’s not wrong, it’s just like this!”
Zhong Zheng, Isabella George and the others stared at Zhong Cheng in confusion. Why are you so happy when the Rossoneri score?
Zhong Zheng and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.
Zhong Cheng was very happy. Sure enough, this butterfly of his didn’t have that much ability. He hadn’t reached the point where he could influence the entire world. Zhong Cheng was just a tiny mantis. Before the giant wheel of history, there was nothing he could do.
Zhong Cheng knew that this match was still a classic Istanbul miracle in his memory.
Of course, the competition had only just begun, and there might be some accidents in the trajectory of the competition. Therefore, Zhong Cheng quickly calmed down and continued to watch the match on the field.
Suddenly, Zhong Cheng felt that something was wrong with the mirror.
Zhong Cheng immediately turned around and was shocked. This was because Zhong Zheng and the others were staring at him with their eyes wide open. Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned and asked, “Why are you staring at me like this? I know I’m very handsome, so there’s no need for you to remind me!”
Chi!
The three of them simultaneously paled Zhong Cheng-narcissism!
