The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 330
330 Neville’s Mission
Players from both sides rushed into the players’ passageway and into the dressing room amidst a barrage of bullets.
The fans were too crazy, too violent!
This fan was even more soccer hooligan than a soccer hooligan ah, this was not a game ah, this was to avoid the bombs of the fans ah!
After arriving at the dressing room, Zhong Cheng’s expression was very ugly.
This match was even more popular than he had imagined. Zhong Cheng was afraid that his players would be influenced by the fans outside, so that he would not be able to play this match. There are so many distractions in this game that it’s easy for players to get distracted.
Zhong Cheng, who gathered the Leeds United players, said cautiously, “You have already seen the atmosphere of this match. And I think you should have thought of it before. I hope you will not be taken away by the emotions of the fans. You must put your hearts and minds into the game, understand?”
The Leeds United players do have these concerns because the atmosphere is really hot.
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, the Leeds United players nodded their heads.
“I think you know a bit about our grudge against Manchester United. I’m telling you, at Leeds United, any team can lose, but they can’t lose to Manchester United,” Zhong said.
The Leeds United players all raised their heads and stared at Zhong Cheng with bright eyes, nodding their heads firmly.
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with the attitude of the players. He could see the battle intent hidden in the chests of the Leeds United players.
“Manchester United’s strategy is to move, that is, to interact with each other. Their offense is often centered around a single point, while the other players are swimming around the player and cooperating with the player to make it easier for the player to take the ball out,” said Zhong Cheng.
Alex Ferguson was like this. The midfielders moved around an offensive core, and the two centre-backs also made a stable delivery point. Then, the core chose the offensive direction, pushed forward one after another, and launched an offensive attack. If the first attack did not find a loophole in the opponent’s defense, they would not risk attacking, but would send the football back, organize a second wave of attacks, and so on.
Through their movement, they could basically discover the gap in the opponent’s defense between two attacks and then directly threaten the opponent’s goal.
A lot of people say that the most successful part of United’s tactical system is their running system!
Zhong Cheng also thinks so, but United’s main offense comes from the winger, so Zhong Cheng mainly focuses on the winger’s defense.
Zhong Cheng said: “Although United’s tactical system is very responsible, it will never change. In the end, Manchester United’s offense or wing attack, our defensive focus is still on the wing.”
Zhong Cheng also said: “In defense, we still play our advantage to the limit, that is pressure high against you, understand? When the foul must be fouled, kicked dirty nothing, everything is based on goal safety, understand?”
The Leeds United players were very clear that they were very familiar with this tactical system.
Zhong Cheng also knew that this match would definitely be very popular. He reminded his players, “Don’t take any meaningless red and yellow cards in this match, okay? This match should be full of yellow cards. You must pay attention!”
The Leeds United players said solemnly, “Got it, boss!”
–Division Line–
At the same time, on the other side, Ferguson was reminding his players.
Ferguson, who is plotting against Leeds United right now, said: ‘Leeds United’s football tactics are very dirty, they have a lot of fouls and they play very violently. We can make the most of this and let them get the most cards in the shortest amount of time, you know?
It’s not Ferguson’s cunning, it’s within the scope of the rules.
To be honest, Ferguson believes Leeds United’s defensive system is very good. Their defensive strength is really high. It’s not easy to break through their defensive line.
Of course, Leeds United’s defensive tactics weren’t without weaknesses, so Ferguson naturally wanted to take advantage of them.
The Manchester United players all smiled and said, “Don’t worry, boss. We’ll let them leave early!”
Ferguson nodded his head in satisfaction and said: “The biggest threat to Leeds United’s counter-attack is in Ribery, a talented player!”
The Manchester United players all nodded in agreement.
Before arriving at Leeds, they had watched the Leeds United game video, and the one that left the deepest impression on them was Ribery, which was the core of Leeds United’s counterattack.
Ferguson said: “Ribery’s physical fitness is not very good, his resistance ability is relatively poor, in the defense, we can give him the appropriate pressure!”
The Manchester United players nodded in agreement.
Ferguson feels it’s not enough and says, “Gary, you have a lot of work to do in this game. I hope you treat Ribery the way you treat Reyes. You have to make him scared, you know?”
Gary Neville was slightly stunned and his eyes widened.
Gary Neville received a lot of criticism and criticism for his frantic shooting of Reyes last time. It even left a shadow in Reyes’ heart. Reyes is said to tremble from tackle to tackle in any game.
Many claim that their Neville brothers crippled a genius.
A lot of big hats fell on him. Even now, Gary Neville still faced these accusations and curses. He didn’t expect that in this match, he would receive the thought that this time he was going to “cripple” Ribery.
Gary Neville didn’t have any objections to such a mission. He said directly, “Don’t worry, boss, I know what to do!”
Ferguson stared fixedly at Gary Neville for a while. He didn’t say anything and walked up to patted Gary Neville on the shoulder.
Ferguson said: “Well, there’s nothing else to pay attention to. We will win this game according to our usual tactics. So you have to be confident and put in 80 percent of your usual form. We will definitely win this game!”
The Manchester United players immediately shouted, “Manchester United will win! Manchester United will win!”
Ferguson smiled and said: “Although we only need 80 percent of our form to win, I still hope that you can give me 100 percent of your concentration, you know?”
Sir Alex Ferguson is the kind of man who has to be the best if he wants to be better.
The Manchester United players nodded enthusiastically and shouted, “Don’t worry, boss. We will go all out to win this game!”
Ferguson was very satisfied and then waved his hand, allowing the Manchester United players to fish out.
–Division Line–
It’s fine at Ellen Road Stadium, Leeds, England!
Today’s weather is very good, sunny, but not hot at all, but also wrinkled breeze, very suitable for the game.
The Allen Road stadium was already filled with people, and the fans on both sides had already begun to fight.
Leeds United fans are singing Leeds United’s team song, Manchester United fans are singing Manchester United’s team song, both sides of the fans have begun to each other.
Today, most of the Ellen Road stadium is filled with Leeds United fans, who dress up the entire stadium as a white ocean. More than 4,000 Manchester United fans dressed in red robes came to cause trouble at Ellen Road Stadium.
At this time, the fans on both sides of the stands pulled up a lot of posters, attacking the opposing players one after another. The fans on both sides were playing very happily. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense and dangerous.
At this moment, the scene was already suffused with an endless smell of gunpowder.
The fans on both sides had already started cursing at each other in the stands. There were even people who wanted to make a move. The security personnel on the scene were extremely nervous. This scene was simply going to explode.
At this time, the players from both sides followed the referee to the players’ passageway and waited for their final appearance.
At this time, as the owner of Ellen Road, Zhong Cheng still generously walked towards the Manchester United coaching staff.
Coming to Ferguson’s side, Zhong Cheng extended his right hand to Ferguson and said, “Welcome to the Ellen Road Stadium, Sir Alex!”
Ferguson held Zhong Cheng’s right hand and said indifferently, “Thank you for Mr. Loria’s hospitality!”
As soon as they finished speaking, their hands instantly parted. Both of them quietly stared into each other’s eyes. Suddenly, a burst of saber light and sword shadows flashed, and there was a tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Zhong Cheng didn’t say anything and directly turned around to leave.
Ferguson’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Zhong Cheng’s back, as if to say, “You will definitely lose this match!”
All of a sudden, the players from both sides walked into the Ellen Road Stadium under the lead of the referee team. The fans on both sides immediately cheered wildly, welcoming their heroes with their shouts and songs.
