The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 322

322 The Defending Champion Was Eliminated in the First Round

“You shouldn’t have bet with him!” Christina returned to her cold royal elder sister.

Prior to this, Christina, who was like a little girl, had already disappeared.

Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “It’s fine!”

‘”You shouldn’t have forced him to kneel!” Kristina said with a cold expression.

Zhong Cheng faintly smiled and said, “It’s a human being, and they have to pay a price for their actions!”

“Are you ready for the price of getting Kramer to kneel? Billington is not to be trifled with!”

Zhong Cheng said, “I didn’t force Kramer to kneel. The Billington Family forced him to kneel!”

Kristina rolled her eyes at Zhong Cheng and said, “But in the eyes of the Kramer and Billington Families, you forced Kramer to kneel down. You’ve ruined the face of the Billington Family! Shouldn’t you pay some price?”

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said, “If the Billington Family is just like this, then there is nothing to worry about!”

Christina rolled her eyes at Zhong Cheng and said softly, “Ah, your personality is going to change!”

Zhong Cheng said, “I can’t change it!”

Christina stared fixedly at Zhong Cheng for a while. She sighed and said, “I knew you’d have to be careful lately. The Billington family may not get revenge on you, but Kramer will get revenge on you.”

Zhong Cheng nodded and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen!”

Christina’s face was filled with worry, but seeing Zhong Cheng like this, she knew that she didn’t want to listen to Zhong Cheng anymore.

Kristina said, “You have to watch yourself, okay?”

Zhong Chengshi smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there were a lot of people who came to assassinate me not long ago. Am I alright? Don’t worry!”

When she said this, Christina became even more worried. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared at Zhong Cheng, as if she could see the pain in her heart.

Christina immediately asked, “Ah, yes! What exactly is going on with these assassinations? Why?”

Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows.

“So far, I don’t know what happened when they fell to the ground,” he said. “Although I already know who did it, I don’t know where they are or why they came to assassinate me.”

Christina was even more worried. “What, what should we do?”

Zhong Cheng patted Christina’s hand and said gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”

Zhong Cheng felt Christina’s hands tightly grabbing his right hand. He could feel the worry in Christina’s heart.

Despite her loyal consolation, Christina was still very worried.

Zhong Cheng immediately changed the topic. He immediately asked, “How is Zhong Cheng’s suit lately?”

When it comes to Zhong Cheng suits, the female powerhouse Christina is back on her feet. She says confidently, “Right now, Zhong Cheng suits are very popular. We have completely taken over the UK market, and we are very good in the Chinese market …”

Sure enough, Christina seemed to have changed.

Zhong Cheng had learned about the situation of Zhong Cheng Suit. Now, it was indeed very good, and the prospects were very good. Zhong Cheng trusted Christina very much and handed over the business to her.

–Division Line–

After dealing with these matters, Zhong Cheng ushered in this season’s Carling Cup game,

This season, Leeds United are playing as defending Carling Cup champions. Leeds United fans are filled with high expectations for Leeds United and they are hoping that Leeds United will succeed.

This is also an internal goal of Leeds United, and the Carling Cup title is important to them.

Although it was very important, Zhong Cheng still handed her over to his assistant, Rogers.

Because there are more important UEFA Cup matches to come, UEFA has suspended Zhong Cheng. In the following UEFA Cup group matches, Zhong Cheng will not be able to direct the matches. These competitions had to be directed by Rogers, and Zhong Cheng now gave Rogers a chance to adapt.

On the third lap of the Carling Cup, the Champions League and Premier League teams joined.

Leeds United’s first Carling Cup game of the season was away to Blackburn.

Blackburn’s strength wasn’t very strong, nor was it weak. This was a good test for Rogers, so it was Rogers who had been coaching the team recently.

Zhong Cheng was hoping that Rogers would perform well, allowing Leeds United to win this match and advance to the next round. After all, Leeds United’s goal was to win the Carling Cup.

Zhong Cheng would naturally sit on the sidelines in this match, and he didn’t have a competition.

Zhong Cheng led the visiting team to Blackburn’s home court to complete the match.

The command of the game was entirely due to Rogers’ injury. Rogers adjusted the starting lineup of the game, that is, the rotation.

Rogers’ line-up is 4-2-3-1 and the starting lineup is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Minolet

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Danny Pew, Vermaelen, Gary Cahill and Sagna

Double waist: Diaby and Alexander Song

Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Dembele, Olich and Lennon

Single forward: Crespo

Yes, Rogers is a large rotation of the main lineup, replaced with a lot of young players or substitutes, it can be seen that Rogers is saving for the weekend’s Premier League.

Leeds United face Middlesbrough at home this weekend.

Zhong Cheng and Middlesbrough’s head coach had a big grudge. Zhong Cheng obviously wanted to win this match. Rogers had saved his strength for this match.

In this round, Rogers put Crespo, who had been in good shape recently, in the starting line-up, while Huntelaar sat on the bench waiting for an opportunity.

The starting lineup for this match surprised many people, even Zhong Cheng.

However, Zhong Cheng ignored it. After this match, he left it to Rogers to direct.

Rogers continued to follow Zhong Cheng’s plan, which was to defend and counterattack.

In the beginning, Leeds United’s defense was very solid, and they had some chances to counter-attack. Especially Dembele, who played a very good game. He broke through and crossed in succession, giving Crespo very strong support.

Crespo’s performance was also very good. His condition was indeed excellent.

But Zhong Cheng’s eyebrows were indeed tightly knitted. This competition looked very strange. But at this time, Zhong Cheng did not remind Rogers that Rogers was in charge of this match. He had to trust Rogers completely.

However, in the twenty-second minute of the game, the Blackburn striker received a long pass from the backcourt in the restricted area. He stopped the ball in the chest, turned around and shot, scoring a wonderful goal.

Zhong Cheng was dumbfounded. This ball was really beautiful, very beautiful.

After that, Blackburn seemed to have found the rhythm of the game and threatened Leeds United’s goal. Although Diaby and Alexander Song did well, Leeds United conceded another goal in the 57th minute of the game.

It was an own goal and Diaby accidentally kicked the ball into his own goal in the penalty area.

On the 76th minute of the game, Blackburn’s striker received a cross from the box and swept the ball into Leeds United’s goal.

Leeds United lost the game away from home 3-0.

The Carling Cup defending champions were knocked out in the first game and England was shocked. Leeds United’s roller coaster was really scary.

Zhong Cheng was also a little helpless. Rogers had messed up this match again. What about the UEFA Cup group match?

At this time, Zhong Cheng could only continue to believe in Rogers, and he was also trying to enlighten Rogers and increase his confidence. After all, the upcoming UEFA Cup game is very important and there is no room for loss.

At this time, the English media were claiming that Leeds United’s UEFA Cup campaign this season was over and that they had no chance at all.

Gary Arnold Hisith also claims England’s UEFA Cup dreams are still up to Middlesbrough and Bolton, and Leeds United are going to play soy sauce.

Zhong Cheng was naturally very angry and unhappy when he saw such a report.

However, Zhong Cheng did not go to war with this fellow. He wanted to slap Gary Arnold Hisith’s face with the truth and let him know how stupid he was.

After losing this match, Rogers took all the blame on him.

In an interview with reporters, Rogers said: “The responsibility for this defeat lies entirely with me. Mr. Loria gave me the team’s command. Unfortunately, I failed to live up to Mr. Loria’s expectations. I will definitely work hard in the upcoming matches!”

Zhong Cheng said, “Brandan has his own ideas. Although his current ideas are not mature, he is a very promising coach. I believe that he will become a very powerful head coach in the future. We will give him more opportunities now. We all believe in him!”

At this time, Gary Arnold Hisith stood up and spoke. He, Madman Loria, was a hypocrite. It was clearly him who lost the game, but he actually made his assistant stand up and take the blame. Madman Loria was really a piece of trash. He also claimed that if Madman Loria continued like this, Leeds United would be destroyed by Madman Loria sooner or later.

Gary Arnold Hisith’s words were supported by a lot of people.

These fellows stood up again to attack Zhong Cheng and discredit him.

However, Leeds United fans are not as easy to fool as they were a year ago. The Leeds United fans still stood by Zhong Cheng and supported him.

Leeds United fans were very supportive of Zhong Cheng. They left messages on the official websites of these media outlets and cursed at these damned media reporters, especially Gary Arnold Hisith, who was now being scolded as a dog.

Outside the training base of Leeds United, Leeds United fans all pulled up banners in support of Zhong Cheng, hoping that Zhong Cheng would not be affected by the rubbish and continue to lead Leeds United forward.

Under such circumstances, Leeds United welcomed the match against Middlesbrough.
