The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 324

324 Ming Xiuzhan Said, Secretly Crossing the Storehouse!

In the 10th Premier League match, Leeds United played Middlesbrough at home.

The Ellen Road stadium was filled with people, and Leeds United fans dressed in their home team’s white shirts were cheering excitedly as they waited for the start of the game.

Middlesbrough fans also came on the road wearing red home shirts to cheer for their team. It was a winning game and the Middlesbrough fans were singing the song loudly.

Zhong Cheng was wearing a white suit as he stood at the edge of the arena, his hands crossed over his chest, and he stood quietly.

Today, as the host of this place, Zhong Cheng did not go to the guest coach’s seat as usual to welcome the guest coach’s arrival.

Today, Zhong Cheng completely ignored McLaren.

Zhong Cheng would only use his hot face to stick to McLaren. What was that? He couldn’t do such a disgusting thing!

Zhong Cheng stood there like a statue.

On the visiting coach’s bench, McClaren was holding his head high, waiting for Zhong Cheng to arrive.

McClaren was still thinking about it. When Zhong Cheng came, he would never pay attention to this guy. He turned his head to the side and let this damn guy cool off. He would let him know how powerful he was.

McClaren was thinking of answering Zhong Cheng’s question.

However, McClaren had waited for a long time. Seeing that the players from both sides were about to enter the arena and that Zhong Cheng hadn’t come over yet, he felt a little anxious. At the same time, he was extremely angry. Damn Madman Loria, this fellow actually left him to the side. He didn’t have any manners at all!

McClaren couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the coaching bench of the home team. Immediately, McClaren’s lungs were about to explode with anger. That damn Madman Loria was sitting comfortably on the coaching bench, knocking on his legs, chatting and laughing with his assistant. He didn’t have the slightest intention of welcoming him.

Damn it! Damn it!

You actually ignored me and dared to ridicule me like this. Good, good, good. Madman Loria, you’ve successfully provoked me. Just wait for your Leeds Alliance to be beaten to pieces!

McClaren glared fiercely at Zhong Cheng before turning around and sitting in his seat.

The current media reporters and fans did not know that before the match started, the head coaches of the two teams had secretly coached each other, and McClaren’s lungs were about to explode with anger.

At this moment, the players from both sides walked into the Ellen Road Stadium under the lead of the referee team. This round of matches was about to start. The starting lineup for today is as follows:

Visiting team: Middlesbrough, head coach: McClaren, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Schwarzer

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Philip Neville, Cooper, Nkuru and Rezig

Death Zhong Cheng “From Left to Right”: Stuart Downing, George Boateng, Doriva and Palor

Twin strikers: Hassel Baink and Mark Viduka

This is the starting lineup for Middlesbrough today. As expected, Kelly Fox’s Mark Viduka is on the starting lineup. Mark Viduka is playing against his old club again.

At the scene, there were also Leeds United fans holding up posters of Mark Viduka and banners welcoming Mark Viduka home. They expressed their love for Mark Viduka in this way.

Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-2-3-1

Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng

Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Evra, Vermaelen, Pique and Gary Kelly

Double waist: Nigel Dejon and Alexander Song

Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Ribery, Gourcuff and James Milner

Single forward: Huntelaar

The formation of Leeds United changed today. Zhong Cheng strengthened his defence in the middle and back court, reducing the point of a quick counterattack. Darren Bent sat on the bench and waited for an opportunity.

It could be seen that Zhong Cheng had made some adjustments according to the particularity of this match.

Middlesbrough’s two strikers were very strong, both of them had strong impact and shooting skills. Zhong Cheng had no choice but to strengthen his defense and add one more person in the middle and back court.

McClaren looked at Zhong Cheng’s formation and sneered. Do you really think you can stop our Middlesbrough team with just a little kid like you? Hmph, what a fantasy.

McClaren looked at the two little fellows on his waist. He did not believe that the two of them could stop Hassel Baink and Mark Viduka.

McClaren turned to look at Zhong Cheng with contempt, “You’re going to lose!”

At this moment, the referee of this match blew the whistle for the official start of the match.

With a beep, the first to kick off was Middlesbrough. The Middlesbrough team launched a slaughter as soon as they arrived, and the players all surged forward, heading straight for the restricted area of Leeds United.

However, Leeds United’s defensive line was very close, and their defensive positions were already set up. The Leeds United players were very proactive in their defenses. They rushed forward ferociously and directly used high pressure and physical contact to attack Middlesbrough.

However, Middlesbrough’s players were still in good shape, especially the two strikers, who were like two tanks charging into the front of Leeds United’s box.

“Ah, here he comes, Hassel Baink. He’s fast. He’s rushing. It’s dangerous!” Mark Lawrenson immediately cried out in alarm, as did the Leeds United fans.

Hassel Baink’s speed was really fast, and his physical fitness was also very good. When he rushed up, there was really no one who could hold him back.

Hassel Baink’s eyes were only on Leeds United’s goal. He ignored Mark Viduka, who had raised his hand in the middle, and directly brought the ball into Leeds United’s restricted area, preparing to shoot with a swing of his leg.

However, at this moment, a man slid out of the slant and shoveled the football under Hassel Baink’s feet.

“Not bad, Alexander Song, this tackle is very timely, very clean, very good!” Eddie Gray is giving the player encouragement.

The football rolled to the foot of Gary Kelly on the side. Gary Kelly immediately sent the football forward and the football rolled to Gourcuff’s feet.

Leeds United were about to retaliate when the ball was instantly cut off by George Boateng, who was pouncing on them.

George Boateng, the former Dutch international, is a very fast midfielder with excellent shooting skills and no fear of physical collisions. He is a very defensive midfielder. And his biggest characteristic is the stability, so he has always been Middlesbrough’s main force.

This time, his snatch was very fast, and before Gourcuff could turn around, he directly broke it off.

George Boateng was Stuart Downing, who quickly swept the football to the side and looked for the winger.

However, the football was destroyed by James Milner in the middle.

Both sides’ defenses were quite good, especially Leeds United. Middlesbrough’s two fronts were so strong, but Middlesbrough’s attacks were also intermittent, posing a threat to Leeds United’s goal. However, it did not cause much trouble for Zhong Zheng. Middlesbrough’s attack was limited.

On the sidelines, McClaren raised his eyebrows. This was a little different from his expectations.

McClaren’s eyes were fixated on the pitch, and his mind continued to spin. Where did this question come from?

Middlesbrough are attacking again, and Philip Neville, who has been transferred from Manchester United, is on the sidelines.

However, Stuart Downing’s pass was shovelled halfway through the line by Leeds United’s Gary Kelly. The Leeds United’s defensive movements were big and oppressive, and the Middlesbrough players looked a little scared.

What are you afraid of? Afraid of getting hurt!

McClaren could tell that Middlesbrough’s attack was blocked by the Leeds United’s crude defensive movements. Middlesbrough’s players were knocked upside down on the pitch and were hit hard.

“Damn it! Is this football or wrestling?” McClaren was very angry.

McClaren immediately came to the sidelines and shouted crazily at the stadium, exerting pressure on the referee. The punishment for this match must be stricter. Otherwise, if this continues, the match will be over.

McClaren was also very afraid of injuries to his players, he immediately roared madly. Expressing his dissatisfaction, he shouted loudly again, telling his players not to get hurt.

At this moment, Middlesbrough’s winger attack came again. This time, Stuart Downing and Philip Neville worked together. After Stuart Downing received Philip Neville’s direct ball, Stuart Downing suddenly turned around and sped the football away from Gary Kelly’s defense.

Stuart Downing’s cross went straight down and the ball drew a beautiful arc into Leeds United’s penalty area, heading towards the centre.

Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows and the corner of his mouth twitched. How could this ball let him pass? It was dangerous!

Middlesbrough has Mark Viduka in the middle. This is a high-altitude bomber. It’s dangerous!

Sure enough, Mark Viduka crushed Pique in the middle and smashed his head towards the flying football. With a bang, the football flew towards Leeds United’s goal.

“Viduka header!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson roared wildly.

The soccer ball flew towards Leeds United’s goal like a loaded cannonball. McClaren jumped up on the sidelines. Unfortunately, the soccer ball was hit by Zhong Zheng’s single palm.

“Beautiful! Good job! Good job, Zhong Zheng!” On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng kept applauding and shouting loudly, praising Zhong Zheng.

This goal is truly worthy of praise!

This ball is really too dangerous. I almost lost the ball.

Corner kick, Middlesbrough got the chance to get a corner kick.

Zhong Zheng was very nervous. He shouted at the forbidden area, “Watch him, watch Viduka, follow him. Do you understand?”

The Leeds United players were also nervous. Viduka was really a heavy tank.

Zhong Zheng was still roaring loudly, “Back point, back point, don’t lose your people, understand?”

Zhong Cheng loudly commanded the defensive line, reminding his teammates to be careful not to give the Middlesbrough people any chance. The Leeds United players were waiting.

On the sidelines, McClaren jumped up, shouted and waved.

At this moment, Stuart Downing of the corner suddenly pushed the football out and Philip Neville, who was following him, gently swept the football towards the top of the forbidden arc.

Middlesbrough’s back, George Boateng, rushed up and shot.

With a bang, the football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a missile. The ball was too fast. Zhong Zheng immediately flew sideways and his fingertips touched the football.

However, he did not change his direction and the football flew into the goal.

One to zero.
