The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 226

226 Take That French Gang to the End

Ribery’s condition was very good, and he kept it very well!

Looking at Ribery’s performance, Zhong Cheng was very satisfied. It could be seen that Ribery cherished his career very much now. After all, a year ago, he almost had no football to play.

Berry held up Leeds United’s attack in the last game, and it was the same in this one.

This goal was not bad, and of course, the cooperation between them was also very good. It could be considered to have given Zhong Cheng something he wanted. Of course, there was still a long way to go before Leeds Lenovo could become a super team!

The game continued on the pitch. Galatasaray’s strength was not bad, putting a lot of pressure on Leeds United’s defence. However, the central defensive team composed of Ivanovic and Pique performed very well and steadily, especially Pique, who was becoming more and more like a general.

And Pique’s central role in the back line is also reflected, he is like a defensive backbone. Although Pick was usually quiet, when he arrived on the field, he changed his appearance and shouted loudly at any time.

Peeker’s shouts sometimes surpassed Leeds United goalkeeper Zhong Zheng’s!

Leeds United’s defensive prowess was already quite effective after a season of training last season. This was all thanks to Ortega and DiMatteo. Without them, Leeds United would not be here today.

Zhong Cheng was also very grateful to his assistants. It was all because of them that Leeds United had achieved their current results.

It was at this moment that Galatasaray got a corner kick on the pitch.

Galatasaray’s centre forward headed towards the ball, which flew towards Leeds United’s goal at such a sly angle that almost everyone thought it was going to go down the drain. At this moment, Zhong Zheng shouted loudly and quickly threw himself sideways. He flicked the football with his fingertips and it smashed fiercely onto the beam, quickly rebounding back into the restricted area.

In the restricted area, Rigbett Song picked up a big leak and shot it with a leg pad.

Zhong Zheng, who had fallen to the ground, did not give up and swiftly raised his leg to block it. His leg touched the football, but he still couldn’t stop it from flying into the goal.

Galatasaray equalised 1-1.

Rigbett Song made up for his mistake this time. His reaction was really too fast!

After that, both sides attacked and defended each other, but after the first half of the game, neither side scored any goals and ended the first half of the game one-to-one.

The second half of the game began, and Leeds United began a large number of substitutions.

Zhong Cheng substituted Vermaelen for Pique, Danny Pew for Evra, Gary Kelly for Sagna, Scott Carson for Zhong Zheng, and Darren Bent for Albertini. Darren Bent appeared at the front alongside Huntelaar.

The Leeds Alliance had transformed into a four-one-three-two formation.

Huntelaar and Darren Bent at the front, barely enough for Suo-o, you’re one high and one fast.

Huntelaar headed back in the 19th minute of the second half when Darren Bent threw a volley forward and scored a world wave.

Two to one, Leeds United again surpassed the score!

Unfortunately, in the 32nd minute of the second half, Leeds United’s Ivanovic accidentally headed the ball into his own goal. Zhong Zheng failed to react and was scored by Galatasaray.

In the end, this match ended in a 2-2 draw!

The game ended in a draw. There were no overtime or penalty shootouts between the two teams. This was an ordinary warm-up game. There was no need to score a victory or a defeat.

Zhong Cheng didn’t really care about this result. The purpose of the warm-up game is to warm up the players who have been resting for more than a month to find their condition and prepare for the new season. Second, let the new and old players adjust their lineup and familiarize themselves with the tactics of a battle. The third is to examine some of the players, see their strength and condition, and so on.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng really didn’t care about the outcome of the warm-up match. As long as the players of Leeds United did their best in the game, he would be able to know the true state of the players.

After the match, Zhong Cheng directly said to Ortega, “Their physical fitness is not good. It seems like you have to continue to increase their size!”

Ortega nodded in agreement, “You’re right, you have to increase the amount!”

After the Leeds United players learned of this decision, they began to wail. Their dark devil training continued. This was truly too vicious!

–Division Line–

After the match, Zhong Cheng found Galatasaray’s player, Rigbett Song!

Zhong Cheng had an appointment with Rigbett Song at a cafe in Ghent. Zhong Cheng didn’t like coffee, but he was happy to go to the cafe to satisfy some of his hobbies.

Rigbett Song was puzzled by Zhong Cheng’s invitation? What on earth was this for? Could it be that their Leeds Alliance had taken a fancy to him?

Sitting opposite Zhong Cheng, Rigbett Song sized him up and asked, “I wonder why Mr. Zhong Cheng invited me here?”

“Mr. Song should have a nephew calling for Alexander, right?” Zhong Cheng said as he drank a cup of coffee from Rigbett Song.

When Rigbett Song heard this question, the coffee that was about to arrive at his mouth was also a meal.

Rigbett Song seemed to understand why Zhong Cheng had invited him today. He nodded and said, “Yes, he is my nephew. His parents died early and grew up with me! I wonder how Mr. Zhong Cheng knew about him.”

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “He is a genius player. I know his name, so it shouldn’t be strange, right?”

Rigbett Song nodded his head. Although he had left the English football world, he was still very concerned about the English football world. He had heard of the new arrival of Zhong Cheng in English football, who seemed to have extraordinary vision and talent in choosing youngsters.

Look, how much has the young player that Zhong Cheng brought in last season increased in value?

Before Zhong Cheng introduced these young players, how many people knew their names? But now? The names of these youths could be said to be known to everyone.

Especially Ribery, Sania, and Las Diarra, who were previously unknown. Right now, they were famous all over the world and had become the most beautiful prey of the big clubs. Zhong Cheng’s ability to choose and coach young players was truly too powerful.

No wonder the English media now claim that Zhong Cheng has a pair of “Bole Eyes”, the young players he has his eyes on are definitely not bad.

Now, Zhong Cheng had actually taken a fancy to his nephew, which was really good news for Rigbett Song. Even though Rigbett Song knew that his nephew was a genius long ago, he has attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs.

“Is Mr. Loria trying to bring Alexander to Leeds United?” Said Rigbett Song.

Zhong Cheng did not deny it and immediately nodded, “Yes, I am very optimistic about him. I hope to bring him to Leeds United Club!”

“If that’s the case, you should go find Alexander. He’s an adult now. It’s all up to him!” Rigbett Song said immediately.

“Yes,” Zhong Cheng said, “but I have some questions I want to ask you!”

Rigbett Song was stunned for a moment, then said, “What’s the problem?”

Zhong Cheng asked the question he was most concerned about, “Does Alexander Song have dual nationality in France and Cameroon?”

Rigbett Song has played in the Premier League, so he naturally knows what Zhong Cheng is asking. This was indeed a very important question. No wonder Zhong Cheng came looking for him.

“Yes, he has French citizenship and there’s no problem with his work permit,” said Rigbett Song straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. The most important problem had been solved, so it should be feasible to introduce Alexander Song.

Rigbett Song reminded Zhong Cheng: “Don’t be happy either. Arsenal seem to be interested in Alexander now. Alexander is likely to choose Arsenal!”

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Mr. Rigbett, what do you think Alexander lacks the most now?”

Rigbett Song frowned slightly and said, “It was time for the game!”

Zhong Cheng said: “Then, after Alexander went to Arsenal, will he get the chance to play for the Arsenal first team?”

Zhong Cheng did not let Rigbett Song speak and continued, “Even if he could, there are very few chances. There is no shortage of people at Arsenal. And the biggest possibility is that Alexander will be loaned out or even stay in the Reserves. Does he have enough chances to train?”

Rigbett Song pondered. He knew that Zhong Cheng was telling the truth, which was something he had always been worried about.

“It wouldn’t be a problem if Alexander were to move to Leeds United,” said Zhong. “Most of our Leeds United clubs are young players and we attach great importance to training young players. Next season we will have a lot of games, including the Carling Cup, Carling Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup. There will be a lot of chances to play.”

What Zhong Cheng meant was that after joining Arsenal on loan, it would be difficult for Alexander Song to join a team qualified for the UEFA Cup.

Thinking about Alexander Song’s growth, his best option now was Leeds United.

Alexander Song’s move to Leeds United will give him more chances to play and a high level of UEFA Cup football, which will be a big help to the growth of Alexander Song.

By this time, the Libra in Rigbett Song’s heart was already leaning towards Leeds United.

However, Rigbett Song did not agree. He said, “Leeds United is more suitable for Alexander now, but I will not interfere with him. He will make all the choices himself!”

Zhong Cheng nodded, indicating that he knew.

Zhong Cheng chatted with Rigbett Song for a while before they stood up and left.

–Division Line–

In less than two days, Zhong Cheng received good news from Brandan Rogers, and both Alexander Song and Diaby were happy to join Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy to receive this news. This time, he finally let out a mouthful of anger. A good return to Arsène Wenge, directly broke the Arsenal club’s waist.

Zhong asked the transfer department to immediately send a request to the clubs where Diaby and Alexander Song are staying.

Alexander Song’s team, Bastia, has been demoted and naturally knows that they will not be able to keep him. After bargaining with Arsenal, they have agreed to a £ 100 offer from Leeds United to sell him to Leeds United.

Before long, Auxerre agreed to a £ 2 million offer from Leeds United for Diaby, who will also be a Leeds player.

The players also agreed to join Leeds United. They initialled an agreement with Leeds United. As long as they pass the Leeds United medical, they will be able to sign a formal contract and become a member of the Leeds United Club.

With Brandon Rogers around, Zhong Cheng was relieved. He firmly believed that these two players would soon be their Leeds United players.

Sure enough, the next day, Brandan Rogers sent word that their Leeds United club had signed formal contracts with Diaby and Alexander Song, who were already Leeds United players.

The news spread throughout England that day, and now all Englishmen know that Leeds United have brought in two new French stars. Media reporters were in an uproar. Looks like Zhong Cheng really wanted to carry out the French gang to the end!
