The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 325

325 I’ll Be Back
One to zero!

Middlesbrough’s head coach, Steve McClaren, immediately leaned up from the bench and opened his arms to look down at the crowd, like Jesus on Monte Cristo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as if he was the Son of God, the pride of the world.

McClaren proudly stood at Ellen Road as if he had won the world.

All around was the sacred worship of the Middlesbrough fans!

Also, the wailing of Leeds United fans being conquered!

McClaren was so excited that he even turned his head to look at Zhong Cheng with contempt. His eyes were filled with sneers and ridicule.

“It’s a goal! It’s a goal! George Boateng, the Dutch midfielder, kicked the Leeds United goal open with a world-class kick. Nice, nice goal!” Mark Lawrenson cheered excitedly.

George Boateng, who scored, jumped up quickly, rushed excitedly to the stands where the Middlesbrough fans were gathered and waved his hand crazily, signaling for the Middlesbrough fans to cheer excitedly, as if the entire Ellen Road Stadium was going to be taken over by them.

Zhong Cheng ignored McClaren’s provocation and contempt. There was still time for the match. He left the bench and went to the sidelines. “Calm down,” he told the Leeds United players. “A single goal is nothing. Continue to defend and look for a chance to counterattack. We have a chance!”

The Leeds United players nodded in agreement.

The game resumed and Leeds United did not change their tactics by falling behind 1-0.

McClaren, on the other hand, changed his tactics. Middlesbrough did not invest that much in offense, as if they were about to start defending and counterattacking.

At any rate, Middlesbrough were already leading 1-0. It didn’t matter whether they scored or not. If the score was maintained until the end of the game, they would definitely win.

McClaren knew that Leeds United’s strengths were defensive counterattacks, so he wanted to make Leeds United anxious and let Leeds United take the initiative to attack, so that they could have a better chance at Middlesbrough.

McClaren looked at Zhong Cheng as if he was confident of victory.

Brat, you’re still young!

In this match, our daddy McClaren will definitely win!

McClaren sat on the coaching bench with his hands crossed over his chest and his legs crossed. He was very comfortable.

The stadium immediately calmed down. It was no longer as bloody as before. The fans on both sides were a little depressed. This match was too dull.

Rogers immediately came to Zhong Cheng’s side and said, “Boss, McClaren wants us to attack!”

Zhong Cheng nodded his head and said, “He only dared to be so arrogant because he was certain that our offensive ability was not good!”

Rogers frowned and said, “So what are we going to do? Should we attack now? Our Leeds United are no longer attacking like they did last season. It’s time for us to surprise McClaren!”

Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said, “Now is not the time. Wait!”

Rogers frowned slightly and said, “Why? We’re lagging behind now!”

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “It’s very easy for a team to go from tight to loose, but it’s very difficult for them to go from loose to tight. We have to let the Middlesbrough people let go of this string in their hearts before we can launch a fierce attack, so we will have a chance of winning this match!”

Rogers’ eyes lit up.

Rogers felt that Zhong Cheng was really a thief. At this moment, he still pretended to be attacking. It turned out that he was trying to set up a trap for McClaren.

Will McLaren fall into the trap?

It was as if McClaren had gradually fallen into the trap!

Looks like empiricism is really killing people. McClaren must have thought that our Leeds United’s offensive was still terrible, so he didn’t expect this. Perhaps it was because he thought of this level that he didn’t think that Leeds United would use such a sharp attack.

Therefore, McClaren didn’t care about this at all.

In McClaren’s heart, their Middlesbrough team was certain to win this match.

Rogers smiled and thought to himself, “Sure enough, there are not many simple people in football coaching. They are constantly scheming against and being schemed by their opponents. No wonder this match is so tiring and psychological pressure is so great!”

Rogers gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up in his heart!

The situation on the pitch was that Leeds United seemed to want to attack, but their positional attacks were not good enough to threaten Middlesbrough’s goal. It looked like Leeds United really did not have a chance.

The Leeds United fans were very worried. They were singing Leeds United’s team song in unison to cheer Leeds United on. However, Leeds United’s attack still didn’t improve.

Middlesbrough ‘s players weren’ t under much pressure to defend, but they didn ‘t score goals even though they could occasionally threaten leeds united’ s goal when they attacked again.

Compared to offense, Leeds United’s defense was really too abnormal.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the string in the hearts of the Middlesbrough players gradually relaxed.

At this time, the first half was over and Middlesbrough had a 1-0 lead.

At this moment, McClaren laughed coldly. Madman Loria dared to be so arrogant in front of this daddy even if you were so skilled. It was simply a joke, a big joke.

Soon, the second half of the match between the two sides began.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Leeds United launched a quick snatch.

The ball rolled at Ribery’s feet. Ribery grabbed the ball and smashed it in sequence, directly past Middlesbrough full-back Rezig. He immediately crossed the ball in the middle, followed by Gourcuff, who pretended to shoot long-range. Instead, he pushed the ball into the forbidden area and rolled the ball at Huntelaar’s feet.

Huntelaar is very experienced in running. He is always in the most dangerous position. Huntelaar didn’t stop the ball at all in the restricted area. He directly swung his leg and shot out, sending the ball flying towards Middlesbrough’s goal with a fierce kick.

But football was saved by Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer.

Leeds United’s attack this time was still a little threatening, but it wasn’t a threat at all.

After this attack, Leeds United withdrew and could no longer attack. Seeing this, McClaren sneered contemptuously, “Is that all you have, Madman Loria? If that’s the case, I’m sure McClaren will win this match!”

As the game progressed, the strings in the hearts of the Middlesbrough players loosened. The passing was very casual and the kicking was very loose. Rogers’s eyes lit up and he came to Zhong Cheng’s side and said, “Boss, shouldn’t we attack now?”

Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, “No, wait!”

Rogers raised his head to look at the match time. It was already the sixtieth minute of the match, and there was only half an hour left.

Rogers was very anxious. He immediately said to Zhong Cheng, “Boss, why? There’s not much time left!”

“McClaren is an old fox,” Zhong Cheng said. “We can’t guarantee that this is a trap set by him. We have to wait a bit longer!”

McClaren was indeed an old fox. It was normal for him to be more cautious, but he was running out of time now! Rogers was very anxious and nervous, and Zhong Cheng was also very anxious and nervous. He shouted and shouted on the sidelines, but he had never heard of it before.

Seeing this, Rogers couldn’t help but sigh, “Indeed, the old head coach is an excellent actor. This play is so perfect, it’s a trap, it’s fine!”

McClaren saw Zhong Cheng jump up and down like this, and Leeds United’s attack still didn’t improve. His heart was firmly in his stomach. It seemed that Madman Loria was no better than that, and Leeds United was no better than El El. I was sure that I would win this match.

At this moment, the stadium was in a state of upheaval.

Leeds United pressed down on the three lines at the same time, maintaining the same rhythm and being extremely oppressive. The Middlesbrough players couldn’t find the north between successive passes.

Leeds United’s attack was very oppressive, with three lines instantly killing three of Middlesbrough’s lines. Gourcuff threw the ball three times in a row in the middle and the ball rolled directly to Ribery’s feet on the side.

It’s dangerous. Middlesbrough is dangerous.

McClaren was instantly frightened, his eyes wide open, his heart filled with horror.

The Leeds United exploded with more energy than he had imagined. The pace and pace of the Leeds United attack allowed McClaren to smell the aura of conspiracy. At this moment, the Middlesbrough players relaxed as if they were a pile of loose sand.

In the face of Ribery’s breakthrough, Rezig was obviously not prepared and was instantly freed.

Ribery entered Middlesbrough’s box, attracting the defence of the centre-back. He gently jumped into the middle of the box and Huntelaar jumped high into the air, smashing his head into the ball.

“Huntelaar header.” Eddie Gray jumped up in excitement.

With a bang, Huntelaar’s forehead smashed into the football and the football flew towards Middlesbrough’s goal.

The ball was fast, like a bolt of lightning.

In front of the goal, Schwarzer reacted. He patted the football with one hand, but the child patted a little to the side. The football changed direction slightly and quickly flew into the goal behind him.

McClaren’s expression instantly fell as he was incomparably furious. But before they could vent their anger, Leeds United’s second wave of attacks came again.

Leeds United continued to pass backwards in midfield, pulling Middlesbrough’s loose defensive line. Middlesbrough couldn’t even think about it at this time. Their defensive line was chaotic and full of holes. McClaren wanted to die when he saw this.

God damn Madman Loria, despicable Madman Loria, this daddy McClaren was wise for his entire life, and he actually fell for your Dao. Heavens, isn’t this true?

McClaren’s pride was instantly crushed.

McClaren was embarrassed and embarrassed. He jumped on the sidelines, opened his teeth and claws, and shouted crazily, all to no avail.

Suddenly, killing intent appeared on the field!

Gourcuff aimed at the huge gap in Middlesbrough’s ribs and sent out a straight shot.

The soccer ball quickly rolled under Ribery’s feet. Ribery kept on shooting, swinging his leg and shooting explosively. The soccer ball flew straight into the goal from the near corner like a sharp arrow that came out of a string.

2-1, Leeds United surpassed the score.

Zhong Cheng opened his arms and looked down at the crowd!

At this moment, he was like Jesus on Monte Cristo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was the ruler of the world.

Zhong Cheng’s celebration was a slap on McClaren’s face.

McClaren’s old face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his entire body was trembling. Holy shit, Granny Madman Loria, we have settled this grudge. Just wait for me, I will come back!
