The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 286
286 To Pretend Is to Be Struck by Lightning
At the end of the seventh Premier League game, Chelsea were still at the top of the table after winning all seven matches. They were very strong, as if they would never give up until they won the championship.
And Charlton was still ranked second. They were six wins and one loss, with 18 points!
Third United and fourth-placed Bolton are tied for 14 points, while Leeds United, who came from behind, now have four wins, three losses and 12 points, the same as Tottenham Hotspur. However, Leeds United scored many goals, ranking fifth and Tottenham sixth.
Arsenal’s defeat to Leeds United this season was a tragic start, and now ranked tenth in the Premier League, the worst start in more than a decade.
Leeds United were now ranked fifth in an instant. This time, no one said that Leeds United’s results were garbage. They would definitely be demoted. He is currently in the European Qualification Zone. If he said that he would be relegated to the fifth place, then there would be no safe team in the Premier League.
But… At this time, media reporters and fans did not let Leeds United go. They were all madly attacking Leeds United, saying that Leeds United’s football was crude, ugly and dirty. There were even many people who directly called on everyone to boycott Leeds United, boycott Leeds United’s football!
At any rate, Leeds United could not stop at this moment.
Leeds United was the most talked about team in the past two years. Of course, he was also the team that received the most attention. No wonder Emirates Airlines and Li Ning were looking for Leeds United.
Right now, the words of the outside world were extremely fierce. They almost set up Leeds United as a typical villain. Anyone would have to stand up and criticize them, as if this was the only way to prove their nobility.
Arsenal are really going to appeal, and Leeds United have been in a lot of trouble lately.
Zhong Cheng did not have the mood to deal with this. He handed all of this over to Trivo Birch. Zhong Cheng had completely devoted himself to the competition.
Now, there was a huge obstacle in front of Zhong Cheng and Leeds United, and that was Dinamo Bucharest!
In the first leg of the UEFA Cup knockout round, Leeds United lost 5-1 away to Dinamo Bucharest, almost destroying their chances of advancement.
At that time, almost all the media claimed that Leeds United had been eliminated.
But Zhong Cheng did not give up, so what if it was one to five? Could this really be an insurmountable heavenly chasm? Obviously not!
Dinamo Bucharest can play Leeds United 5-1 at home. Why can’t we play Dinamo Bucharest 6-1 at home?
After the first round, Zhong Cheng could tell that Dinamo wasn’t very strong. If it wasn’t for the weather, they wouldn’t have lost the last round!
Returning to Leeds this time, Zhong Cheng was confident that he would win this match!
However, at this time, no one was optimistic about their Leeds United. They all believed that their Leeds United team was finished. No matter how hard Madman Loria struggled, their Leeds United were eliminated. Even the English media think so, thinking that Leeds United have no chance at all.
Dinamo Bucharest coach Rednick told reporters before the game: “Yes, a five-to-one lead is enough to get us through.” “But we ‘re not going to stop this game. We’ re going to minimize the risk and not give the leeds any chance!”
“Yes, our Dinamo Bucharest is obviously stronger than Leeds United,” Rednick said seriously. “The first leg has shown that even when we are away, the winner is still our Dinamo Bucharest.”
Rednick was really confident and domineering!
The players of Dinamo Bucharest were also very confident in this match. They believed that it would not be difficult for them to win against Zurich United.
Dinamo Bucharest is really confident in coming to Leeds United this time!
Leeds United’s local media and fans believe that Leeds United’s chances are slim, but they are still full of confidence in the Leeds United. Although Leeds United’s chances of advancing were slim, there was no problem winning this match!
After all, this was the home ground of Leeds United, and the weather was also very suitable for Leeds United. Leeds United could certainly defeat Dinamo Bucharest here. Moreover, Leeds United’s number one striker, Huntelaar, had walked out of the valley and returned to glory. With Huntelaar, Leeds United would be like a tiger adding wings. In this match, their Leeds United team would definitely win.
However, Gary Arnold Hisith and the other English media did not think that they really looked down on Leeds United at all and believed that Leeds United would definitely lose.
As for Huntelaar, Gary Arnold Hisith said: “Huntelaar’s last game was just a flash in the pan. This guy’s strength is terrible. Don’t expect anything from him. His stage should be in the Champions League. In the Premier League, he’s a cripple!”
Obviously, there were still many people who did not believe in Huntelaar. They thought that Huntelaar’s performance in the last match was just an accident. Huntelaar was just a piece of shit!
Huntelaar was still under tremendous pressure at the moment, but Huntelaar was eager to start the match because he couldn’t wait to start his face-smacking journey.
“Gary Arnold Hisith, hurry up and wash your face. Wait for me to slap you!” Huntelaar said domineeringly.
When Gary Arnold Hisith heard this, his face turned ashen, and he fiercely darkened Huntelaar in his column, making Huntelaar completely black!
This match was Leeds United’s home ground, Zhong Cheng was very confident. However, before the match, Zhong Chengshi emphasized many times, “Although we lost the first match by 5-1, it’s nothing. Our opponents are not strong. After arriving at our home court, they won’t have the advantage of the court and the weather. We will definitely win this match!”
Zhong Cheng had the Leeds United players go to Dinamo Bucharest to create a miracle.
On this day, a lot of fans poured into Ellen Road Stadium. They were all here to support Leeds United. They did not want to see Leeds United eliminated just like that. Of course, there were also a lot of media reporters who came to see how Leeds United were eliminated!
Gary Arnold Hisith sat carelessly in the press gallery, staring contemptuously at the field, his heart filled with contempt!
Rednick’s gaze fell on Zhong Cheng. His eyes were filled with ridicule and contempt, “Madman Loria, our Dinamo Bucharest team will definitely win this match!”
Zhong Cheng stared at Rednick with a slight grin and ignored him.
Du!
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the match.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United used the advantage of their home court to push the entire line. The football quickly rolled to Ribery’s feet on the side. Ribery immediately drove the ball forward at high speed after catching the ball. After a series of breakthroughs, he actually directly passed the football back to the middle.
The soccer ball rolled under Gourcuff’s feet. Gourcuff gently pushed the soccer ball forward, swinging his leg and shooting a long shot. Dinamo Bucharest’s defenders rushed out frantically to intercept and were fooled. Gourcuff gently slammed the ball into Dinamo’s box in Bucharest.
Gourcuff’s escape was quick and Dinamo Bucharest’s defenders weren’t able to defend. Gourcuff passed the ball diagonally to the ribs of the restricted area. Dembele swung his leg and shot the ball into Dinamo Bucharest’s goal.
One to zero, less than a minute after the start of the match!
The goal shocked everyone present, especially Rednick and Gary Arnold Hisith, who had an ominous premonition in their hearts!
Seven minutes later, Leeds United came back!
This time, Gourcuff intercepted the ball in midfield. He quickly pulled the ball and turned around. Then, with a long, oblique pass, he directly found Ribery who was inserted forward. Ribery jumped forward and stopped the ball before Dinamo Bucharest’s defenders rushed forward. A human ball passed by and then passed.
After passing the full-back, Ribery blurred and blurred. He swung his leg and shot. The football quickly flew into Dinamo Bucharest’s goal, 2-0.
Hurry, it’s really too fast!
Less than ten minutes into the game, Leeds United were already two goals ahead. How many goals would Leeds United score if they continued to play like this?
At this time, Gary Arnold Hisith and Rednick felt very uneasy.
The Leeds United fans were very excited. They all shouted Zhong Cheng’s name. Zhong Cheng had given them a huge surprise. Perfect!
Zhong Cheng smiled and looked at Rednick, as if he was saying, “Where is your confidence?”
The game went on and Leeds United did not delay their attack. They continued to put pressure on Dinamo Bucharest to score more goals.
At this time, Leeds United fans are shouting Huntelaar’s name, they hope Huntelaar can score goals, can accumulate confidence. In this way, Huntelaar would be much more relaxed and at ease in the following matches.
Huntelaar was also very active and desperate in this match.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Leeds United got a corner kick. Gourcuff arrived at the corner kick area. He glanced at the restricted area of Dinamo Bucharest and sent the football back.
Huntelaar jumped between two high school defenders and headed the ball into Dinamo Bucharest’s goal.
3-0, Leeds United have a three-goal lead.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were all extremely excited. Each of them blushed and shouted Huntelaar’s name excitedly.
Huntelaar did not disappoint Leeds United fans, At the beginning of the second half of the game, Huntelaar received a long pass from Pique in the front court. He stopped the ball in the chest, then turned around and dropped Dinamo’s back. He swung his leg and shot a long shot 32 meters away from the goal. The football flew into Dinamo’s goal, 4-0.
The Liz Alliance members at the scene were all mad, as if they had won a super prize.
4-0, 5-5 overall, Leeds United also scored a goal away from home. Leeds United made a counter-lead against Dinamo Bucharest.
Rednick and Gary Arnold Hisith’s faces were swollen.
However, Leeds United’s goal is not over yet.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, Huntelaar received a cross from Winger Sagna in the forbidden area. He pretended to make a light deflection and deflected the opponent’s centre-back and goalkeeper. Then, he shot straight at the empty goal, 5-0.
Huntelaar scored a hat-trick, so excited that he rushed straight to the press gallery. He stood like a proud peacock with his head held high and his chest raised. He was ashamed of the faces of the media reporters and fiercely slapped Gary Arnold Sith and the others in the face.
