The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 201

201 Witness the Miracle of Football History

The Rossoneri lead 1-0.

Zhong Zheng was very happy and said, “Boss! What do you think now? Do you think Liverpool can win?”

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said: “Of course! I am very optimistic about Liverpool!”

Zhong Zheng rolled his eyes at Zhong Cheng. Your shameless appearance really shocked me.

Zhong Zheng said: “Then why were you so happy when the Rossoneri scored? Don’t tell me, you don’t even know who the Rossoneri and Liverpool are, do you?”

Zhong Cheng glared at Zhong Zheng fiercely and said, “I was cheering for your Rossoneri. To put it arrogantly, even if Liverpool let your Rossoneri score three goals, the Rossoneri would not win!”

Zhong Zheng was speechless, looking at Zhong Cheng with an idiotic gaze!

Why is there something wrong with the boss today? Did this guy take the wrong medicine today, causing him to go crazy?

Isabella George and Julia Olivera were also very worried.

Zhong Chengmei glanced at Zhong Zheng and said, “Mortals are mortals. How can they understand the thoughts of divine beings like us? Hmph!”

Zhong Cheng’s arrogant and delicate appearance looked like he was in need of a beating. If not for the fact that he had beaten Zhong Cheng, Zhong Zheng really wanted to rush up and beat Zhong Cheng up.

“Hmph! No matter how tough you act, you can’t hide the fact that Liverpool are going to lose,” said Zhong Zheng.

–Division Line–

The game went on. After the Rossoneri scored, Liverpool had obviously stepped up their offense, hitting the Rossoneri’s box several times, causing Dida trouble. However, the Rossoneri did not choose to retreat to defend because they scored first. They did not show any mercy when it came to offense.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, coming and going.

In the twentieth minute of the game, Liverpool’s Kewell seemed to have suffered a recurrence of an old injury and could not hold on any longer. Rafael Benitez immediately warmed Smitchell up and Liverpool are about to switch sides.

At this time, countless people began to attack Benitez. Why did you let Kewell start when you knew he was still injured? You know Kewell hasn’t played many games this season, why did he start in such an important game?

Many people are frantically questioning Benitez, many believe that it is because of Benitez’s mistake, Liverpool is likely to lose the final.

A lot of people are attacking Benitez!

Zhong Zheng laughed and said, “Boss, this situation is getting worse and worse for Liverpool. Liverpool are going to die now, hahaha!”

Isabella George immediately tugged at Zhong Zheng’s sleeve, signaling him not to be angry with Zhong Cheng anymore.

Zhong Cheng smiled faintly and said, “I already said that even if I let you Rossoneri score three goals, you won’t win!”

Seeing the Cowell Clan being replaced, Zhong Cheng was not only not disappointed and regretful, but also very happy. Because it’s all happening “normally”.

Sure enough, in the 23rd minute of this match, Kewell was replaced by Smitchell.

When Cowell was replaced, his mood was extremely depressed. Lithur went up to comfort Cowell.

Seeing Cowell being replaced, Zhong Cheng waved his fist again. Zhong Zheng rolls his eyes when he sees this. My brother, are you optimistic about AC Milan or Liverpool? What do I think of you? You look a little like an undercover traitor?

–Division Line–

The game went on and Liverpool’s offense picked up.

On the thirty-ninth minute of the game, a highly controversial scene occurred. After Liverpool ‘s Spanish midfielder Luis Garcia caught the ball, Louis Garcia took the ball straight into the right side of the Rossoneri’s box. Facing Nesta’s defense, Louis Garcia suddenly changed directions. Nesta could not react and fell on his back. Louis Garcia smashed the ball, but the football touched Nesta’s right leg and was freed.

The Liverpool man immediately raised his hand to signal referee Mehuto Gonzalez that it was a handball and that it should be a penalty.

All the Liverpool players on the scene exploded and roared even more wildly.

However, referee Mehuto Gonzalez did not say anything and the match continued. The Rossoneri counterattacked quickly. After two quick passes from Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo, Kaka used football to drive the ball 30 metres in the front court. He was blocked by three Liverpool defenders at the front of the penalty area. The instep of his right foot was flirtatious on the right.

Shevchenko rushed into the penalty area and pretended to shoot, but his right foot suddenly crossed the goal. The football rolled past Carragher and directly under Crespo’s feet.

Crespo kept on shooting, his right foot five meters in front of the goal shooting a long-range empty goal, 2-0.

Zhong Cheng waved his fist again and celebrated fiercely.

Zhong Zheng, Isabella George, and the others were no longer surprised. This guy who valued Zhong Cheng had bought the Rossoneri. This guy had been lying before.

Who would have thought that Zhong Cheng would suddenly turn around and say to Zhong Zheng, “I’ll let you two ball!”

Zhong Zheng, Isabella George, and the others were instantly stunned. Could it be that Madman Loria was really crazy today?

On the pitch, the Liverpool players were very dissatisfied and rushed to referee Mehuto Gonzalez to express their protest and dissatisfaction. It was supposed to be their penalty, but it turned out to be the Rossoneri’s quick counterattack and goal.

The Liverpool man was very angry and his heart was filled with anger.

But things have been so far that they cannot be changed and the Liverpool man will suffer no matter how dissatisfied he is.

Perhaps due to the impact of the whole ball concession, Liverpool’s third goal quickly arrived. The game has just recovered. The Rossoneri made another quick counterattack. Kaka took the ball from the back of the field, turned around and got rid of it beautifully, striding forward with a meteor stride.

Suddenly, he pierced through Liverpool’s defensive line with his right foot perfectly straight behind the line.

Carragher chased back at high speed and the shovel didn’t reach the football. The football rolled under the undefended Crespo. Facing the attacking Dudek, Crespo fired a provocative shot 16 meters in front of the goal. It was 3-0.

With three goals in the lead at half-time, no one had the chance to cheer for the Rossoneri. Zhong Zheng also excitedly jumped up, excitedly shouted: “Big brother I buy AC Milan really buy a team, hahaha, big brother I make money!”

Zhong Cheng turned to Zhong Zheng with a smile and said, “It’s your third goal! Don’t be happy too early, I said that you won’t win even if it’s your third goal. Now, the match has just begun!”

Zhong Zheng, Isabella George, and the others immediately looked at Zhong Cheng speechlessly.

–Division Line–

Almost everyone thinks Liverpool are doomed and AC Milan are set to win.

But in the second half, the situation changed. In the 53rd minute of the game, Liverpool’s front foot moved to the gap and Liverpool’s front foot moved forward at high speed immediately after Arne Riise caught the ball. Facing Cafu’s defense, he prepared to score a goal, but the football was blocked by Cafu.

Fortunately, the football rolled back at Lithur’s feet, and Lithur immediately got up and crossed. Gerrard jumped up ten meters in front of the goal in the restricted area and shot a header. The football passed over Dudek’s head and fell into the Rossoneri’s goal, one to three.

Zhong Cheng immediately turned around to compete with Zhong Zheng and the others with the scissors, “Yeah, there are still two goals left!”

Three minutes later, Liverpool are back. Arne Lithur threw the ball from the sidelines, and Harvey Alonso and Harman were knocked on the sidelines in the second half, causing the ball to roll beneath Smitchell’s feet.

Smitchell lowered his right foot 26 metres from the goal and the football flew out at top speed. In the forbidden area, Baros, who was standing beside Stam, saw the football flying towards him like a shooting star. He immediately retracted his belly and let the ball pass. Dida, who was blocked from his line of sight, did not react. The football flew into the goal, 2-3.

Liverpool scored two goals in a row and everyone was stunned. The Rossoneri fans and players felt great pressure. They were all a little scared. The atmosphere was very strange. The Rossoneri did not dare to say anything.

The Liverpool players cheered wildly and screamed excitedly.

In the VIP box, Zhong Zheng was dumbfounded. The two fingers that Zhong Cheng raised were so eye-catching that there was no sound in the room.

Four minutes later, Liverpool created a miracle!

Steven Gerrard stumbled behind Gattuso as he entered the box and prepared to shoot. Mehuto Gonzalez did not show any mercy and awarded a penalty.

At this time, Zhong Zheng’s hair stood on end.

Xabi Alonso stepped onto the penalty spot and pushed his right foot into the lower left corner. The football was saved by the Rossoneri’s Dida. But the Rossoneri fans did not have time to be happy, but football was caught up to Xabi Alonso in time to revolve into the net, 3-3.

The Liverpool man really did create a miracle and equalised.

The scene instantly became a heaven of sorrow and joy. He was so happy that he forgot all about it, and his sorrow was so sad that it flowed into a river.

Zhong Zheng stared at Zhong Cheng as if his soul had left his body, his mouth growing wide, and he was speechless for a long time.

In the end, the two sides drew 3-3 and entered overtime. Many Liverpool players had cramps in overtime, and Carragher was incomparably tragic with his persistence in the game. The Rossoneri frantically attacked and surrounded Liverpool, wanting to fight resolutely, but both Shevchenko and Kaka’s shots were blocked by Dudek. In the end, neither side scored in overtime and the game had to go into a penalty shoot-out.

The penalty shootout was extremely intense and exciting. Zhong Zheng rushed to the front of the VIP box like a madman and stared fixedly at the stadium.

Sergio, the Rossoneri’s first player on the pitch, made a mistake. Faced with the twisting of Dudek’s goal line, the football flew into the sky and Zhong Zheng’s face collapsed. Liverpool’s Harman hit the ball.

In the second round, the Rossoneri midfielder Pirlo also made a mistake against Dudek’s goal-line dance and the football was thrown out by Dudek. Cisse, on the other hand, scored calmly, 2-0.

The Rossoneri were shocked and pushed to the most dangerous position. Zhong Zheng couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhong Cheng and then stare at the stadium.

The Rossoneri finally scored in the third round when Thomas scored without Dudek interfering. Then Dida scored and saved Lithur’s penalty, 1-2.

In the fourth round, Kaka went on stage. Countless Dudek performances easily scored a 2-2 draw. However, Smitchell did deceive Dida and scored a goal, 2-3.

Fifth round, this round is very crucial, AC Milan must score the football before the game can continue. AC Milan lose if they don’t score.

The Rossoneri’s number one striker, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andriy Shevchenko, made it to the penalty spot after scoring the winning penalty in the Champions League final in 2003. Now that he was standing in such a position, there was a lot of pressure. But everyone believes in Shevchenko and believes the goal must be scored.

Dudek was still frantically twisting his body, interfering with Shevchenko.

Shevchenko ran up and shot. He succeeded in deceiving Dudek. Dudek’s body had already pounced to the right. However, his left hand miraculously reached out to block the flying football. With a bang, the football was thrown out by Dudek.

Liverpool beat AC Milan 3-2 in a penalty shoot-out, beating the Rossoneri 6-5 and miraculously winning the Champions League 2004-05, creating a miracle known as the “Night of Istanbul”.
