The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 279
279 Just by Hearing His Name, the Pressure Comes
Arsène Wenge told reporters: “Huntelaar is a very arrogant person. How can he compare to Robin? He really thinks too much! I really don’t know how such a person can appear on the Premier League stage. It’s really funny!”
It could be seen that Arsène Wenge’s opinion of Zhong Cheng was very big!
Arsène Wenge added: “A lot of the media are right. Leeds United are not very strong. Although we are away, we will definitely win the game and it will be very easy.”
Gary Arnold Hisith and the media reporters were naturally very happy. This was what they wanted to hear the most. They were hoping that the two teams could pinch each other before the game, so that their newspapers could sell.
Gary Arnold Hisith also asked: “May I ask Mr Wenger why Mr Zimbonda left Leeds United to join Arsenal?”
Arsène Wenge glanced at Gary Arnold Hisith and said, “Is there a need to ask? Of course it’s because our Arsenal team is a big club and their Leeds United are nothing! Moreover, our Arsenal team is stronger than his team, so Chimbonda will naturally choose our Arsenal team!”
In the following interview, Arsène Wenge said: “This game is just one of the ordinary league matches. It’s nothing special for us because we still need to get three points!”
After hearing Arsène Wenge’s interview, the Leeds United fans were very angry. Arsène Wenge was simply too big, too loud. Why the hell didn’t you go to heaven?
Zhong Cheng was naturally also very angry. He coldly snorted in front of the reporters and said, “It seems that he is very powerful. No matter how powerful he is, he would still be trampled on by us. We are the eighth in the Premier League and some of us are the ninth in the Premier League.”
Zhong Cheng said coldly, “I really don’t know where the confidence comes from. Blind! Can’t you see that we are ranked in front of you? Who wouldn’t brag? Watch this match and we, Leeds United, will be designated to win over their Arsenal team by a hundred goals!”
Zhong Cheng sneered and said, “Do you see that? Is it useful to talk big? If you have that kind of leisure to talk big, why don’t you go back and think about how to defend yourself? Don’t let Leeds United come to a stop. At that time, your face won’t look good anymore!”
Zhong Cheng’s words caused the Arsenal people to be incomparably angry. Madman Loria was too arrogant and arrogant. To humiliate them like this was simply courting death!
Arsène Wenge was also furious to the point of blowing his beard and glaring … Well, it seemed like he didn’t have a beard either!
Arsène Wenge snorted coldly, “Well, who’s boasting? I’ll see you at the game. I want to see. You guys can still laugh then?”
Arsène Wenge snorted coldly, “I swear that I will bloody baptize Leeds United in this match. All of you watch!”
Arsène Wenge was truly enraged by Zhong Cheng, and his heart was filled with rage!
Before this match, the head coaches of both sides directly pinched it. This smell of gunpowder was really too strong. This battle was about to break out!
Countless media were paying close attention to this match. They all rushed to Leeds and wanted to watch the match live.
Before the game, the fans on both sides also quarreled fiercely. The fans on both sides cursed loudly, just like shrews cursing the streets. On the Internet, in real life, on the streets, they all cursed sharply. In the past two days, there were obviously many more police patrols on the streets of Leeds.
Clearly, the city of Leeds was afraid of riots and chaos!
Leeds United fans and Arsenal fans occasionally clashed on the streets, and even fans fought each other and were eventually brought back to the police station by the police.
This was truly a great battle that was imminent!
–Division Line–
September 18, 2005, Ellen Road Stadium, Leeds, England!
The weather in Leeds was pretty good today, but it wasn’t like before in Bucharest. There was a red sun hanging in the sky today, and it was still a little hot at noon in the day. But in the afternoon, the temperature had dropped a lot, and there was a light breeze. It was very cool.
A lot of Leeds United fans came to Ellen Road today. They were wearing Leeds United’s home white shirts. They were waving Leeds United’s flag and singing Leeds United’s team song excitedly. They were cheering for Leeds United.
Although the outside world has been frantically reporting that Leeds United’s performance this season has been terrible, saying that Leeds United are nothing but trash, Leeds United’s performance this season has been shit, Madman Loria is just a jerk, forcing madman, leading the team is all for fun, Leeds United will definitely be relegated …
However, most of the Leeds United fans stood firmly on their side, unaffected by these ulterior motives of the media reporters, they were firmly supportive of Leeds United.
Leeds United are doing well now. They are promoted. They are satisfied that they are now ranked eighth in the Premier League. After all, many other promotions to the Premier League are aimed at relegation, and Leeds United are now competing for spots in the European Champions League.
What’s wrong with Leeds United fans?
Therefore, most people still stood in their positions, not giving these ulterior motives of the media reporters the opportunity to take advantage of it. The Leeds United fans were all in unison, singing the Leeds United team song excitedly and cheering for the Leeds United team.
In the press gallery, Gary Arnold Hisith’s eyes narrowed, his heart filled with rage. Were all his previous efforts useless? Why are these damned Leeds United fans still firmly behind Madman Loria? Shouldn’t they be shouting “Madman Loria’s class is over” at this time?
Gary Arnold Hisith was in a terrible mood, and his expression was very ugly!
Damn Madman Loria, damn Leeds, you all deserve to die!
Gary Arnold Hisith stared at the Leeds United fans in the stands with rage in his eyes.
There are naturally a lot of Arsenal fans from London in the stands. They are very concerned about this game. The Leeds United were really too arrogant before the game, especially that damn Madman Loria. He dared to underestimate our Arsenal team. This guy deserves to be punished!
The Arsenal fans were also singing the Arsenal team song, but their voices were completely suppressed by the excitement of the Leeds United fans, which made them very unhappy. They were singing loudly with all their strength, but it was a pity that they were still not singing loudly.
Damn Lizzie, you guys wait, you guys wait, you won’t be able to shout in a dozen minutes.
“Arsenal win! Gunners win! Leeds win!” Arsenal fans are cheering for their team with their lives.
The atmosphere at the Ellen Road stadium was very hot, as if the match had already begun.
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng sat in the dressing room, his eyes fixed on the tactical board beside him!
On the tactical board was written the starting list of today’s visiting Arsenal squad, which read as follows:
Visiting team: Arsenal, head coach: Arsène Wenge, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Lehman
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Zimbonda, Campbell, Colo Toure and Lauren
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Hleb, Fabregas, Gilberto Silva and Ljungberg
Twin strikers: Bergkamp and Henry
This is the starting line-up for today’s Arsenal squad, and the Leeds United players are keeping a close eye on it. This is completely different from last season’s Carling Cup clash with Arsenal, where Arsenal played almost from the bench, and now the list is full.
Every player in this lineup is very famous, many of them have achieved fame!
The shadows of people’s famous trees, these players were so famous, this meant their strength.
Looking at the names of these people, Leeds United fans felt a lot of pressure. This was indeed a very strong team, and more than a season ago, they had just won the Premier League unbeaten. It could be said that they were in the limelight.
Against such a team, the players of Leeds United would naturally be nervous.
To tell the truth, seeing these names, Zhong Cheng could also feel a burst of pressure pouring down on his face. Look at the two strikers, Henry and Bergkamp, who are two of the sharpest strikers in the Premier League!
Especially Henry, the king of Highbury was not someone whose name was wasted!
Zhong Cheng looked at the list and said very calmly, “Today, our opponent is very strong, very strong!”
The Leeds United players stared fixedly at the tactical board, their eyes blinking. They could naturally feel the tremendous pressure.
Zhong Cheng said, “Look at the starting lineup. Henry, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Hleb, Campbell, and the others. Which one of them isn’t strong? With them here, it almost means points and victory. They are so strong!”
Zhong Cheng scanned the Leeds United players and said, “But they are not necessarily invincible. In the first six matches, their results were the same as ours. They were three lives and three losses. They were even ranked below us. I don’t think we will be much weaker than them. What do you think?”
Yes, Arsenal lost to Chelsea, Liverpool and Middlesbrough in the previous games. Although the first two teams were strong, they lost three games anyway.
The Leeds United players nodded and thought to themselves, “Yes, our results are the same as Arsenal’s. Why is our Leeds United one head lower than Arsenal’s? Why can’t our Leeds United beat Arsenal?”
“It’s not like we didn’t win against Arsenal last season,” Zhong Cheng said. “So, you guys don’t have to be nervous in this game. There’s not much of a difference between us and Arsenal, and we have a chance of winning!”
The Leeds United players nodded in agreement.
“Of course, we can’t underestimate our opponents,” Zhong Cheng said. “When defending, you must be careful. Arsenal’s offense is undefensible. Their offense is more blossoming. It can even be said to be full defense. So when defending, you should not only keep an eye on people, but also guard your defensive area. Do you understand?”
The Leeds United players shouted, “Got it, boss!”
