The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 331
331 He Had Underestimated This Kid!
This is the starting line-up for Leeds United today, with some changes.
Naturally, the biggest change was to appear here with Darren Bent. He did not appear in the starting line-up today, but instead appeared in the winger’s position instead of the forward position.
This was a change, a change in tactics.
Or maybe it was Zhong Cheng’s cigarette. Mist bomb. Darren Bent may have played the forwards position in the game, but he was only given the winger position when he signed up. Perhaps Leeds United’s tactics were 4-4-2, not the 4-2-3-1 they had submitted.
On the sidelines, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was also surprised to see Darren Bent. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhong Cheng, his heart filled with doubt.
Looks like this little fellow Zhong Cheng is quite scheming. He is a promising head coach.
Looks like we’ve underestimated this little guy.
Ferguson suddenly has more expectations for this game, perhaps this game, Leeds United will give him some very different performance.
Sure enough, Alex Ferguson was shocked at the start of the game.
Attacked, Leeds United attacked from the start of the game.
Leeds United’s offense was definitely not as simple as stealing. The level of their offense was very obvious. Obviously, Gourcuff was the axis of Leeds United’s midfield. Almost all of the Leeds United players were revolving around Gourcuff.
Nigel Dejon was protecting Gurkuff, and Alexander Song was almost following Gurkuff to assist him, giving Gurkuff a stable early autumn ride to bring you and your escort. Meanwhile, Ribery and Darren Bent were on the sidelines, ready to step forward.
Darren Bent and Ribery’s gym tensioners retreated one after the other. Of course, this was not to defend, but to assist Zhong Cheng’s Gourcuff and tear apart his opponent’s defensive line.
Huntelaar kept a tight grip on the opponents’ centre-backs in the front court, giving them plenty of space in midfield while cutting through the opponents’ defensive lines and areas.
To be honest, this tactic is a bit like the tactics of Manchester United.
But unlike Manchester United’s tactics, Leeds United move the ball faster, play behind the ball and cut more inwards with two wingers.
Looking at Leeds United’s tactics, Ferguson was shocked. He really didn’t expect Leeds United to be able to do this now.
On the pitch, Gourcuff did not stop the ball at all. Instead, he gently passed the football to Alexander Song, who was beside him. He turned around and inserted it, letting Paul Scholes go.
Scholes pounced ferociously. When Gourcuff turned around, he couldn’t stop and was instantly freed by Gourcuff. Scholes immediately gave up on Gourcuff and went forward to steal the football at Alexander Song’s feet.
Alexander Song used the rhythmic change to slow the ball down a bit and the football immediately rolled under Scholes’ crotch towards Gourcuff.
As the football rolled towards Gourcuff, Manchester United midfielder Robbie Keane slid ferociously over.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were furious and roared, “Damn Butcher, f*cking explode, okay? Damn trash, red card, red card!”
Gourcuff had no intention of stopping the ball at all. He quickly knocked the football sideways and jumped up quickly, dodging Roy Keane’s ferocious shovel.
With a bang, Gourcuff lost his balance and instantly fell to the ground.
The ball rolled quickly to the side. Ribery gently stopped the ball and prepared to take the ball forward. At this moment, Gary Neville rushed out ferociously, shoveling as fiercely and ferociously as Roy Keane.
The Leeds United fans screamed in horror. What was Manchester United doing with Tamar? Was he going to kill someone?
“Holy shit, Grandma! Damn Manchester United! You bastards! Damn Butcher, go to hell!” Leeds United fans have lashed out at Manchester United players with vicious curses.
The Manchester United fans applauded enthusiastically and shouted, “Shoot him! Shoot them to death! Shoot their legs off so they don’t dare to appear in front of us again and kill him! Hahaha!”
After Ribery caught the ball, he immediately stretched his bow and shot an arrow, passing it diagonally to the bottom line of the other side.
There, Darren Bent of Leeds United had already thrust forward.
Darren Bent was like a speeding Ferrari, and Sylvester, who was standing beside him, had rushed a little closer, so it was too late to turn around and chase after him.
Darren Bent’s speed was extremely fast. Like an afterimage, he instantly got rid of Sylvester and immediately caught up to him like a football.
“Ah!” The Manchester United fans cried out in alarm.
“Stop him! Leo, stop him! Stop him! Scram him! Scram him! Scram him!” Manchester United fans roared wildly, threatening Darren Bent.
Darren Bent was not timid. He shook his head to the left and right to see if anyone was catching up with him.
Seeing that no one was catching up, Darren Bent jumped up easily and easily removed the football with the instep of his right leg.
This ball was unloaded very comfortably. It was simply perfect!
As soon as the football landed, he cut into the ball and headed for Manchester United’s penalty area.
Manchester United’s Argentine centre-back Gabriel Heinze has pounced on Darren Bent from midfield. Sylvester rushed back quickly and charged behind Heinze to fill the gap.
Huntelaar held Rio Ferdinand in the middle, signaling for Darren Bent to pass him directly to the top of his head.
Rio Ferdinand immediately squeezed Huntelaar with his body to make him feel better.
When Darren Bent saw Heinze pounce, he instantly slowed down and slowly moved towards Heinze with a few small steps of the ball. Heinze didn’t dare to rashly snatch it. He lowered his center of gravity and stared at the football beneath Darren Bent’s feet.
Darren Bent suddenly glanced at the front of the forbidden area, and Gourcuff was rushing up to meet him.
Roy Keane was rushing back beside Gurkuff, but he was two or three positions behind Gurkuff. This was a good opportunity.
Darren Bent immediately waved his right leg and prepared to use the back of his foot to pass the ball back to the front of the restricted area, giving Gourcuff a chance to shoot from afar.
Although Heinze did not see it, his years of experience instantly determined what Darren Bent was going to do. He immediately tilted slightly outside the restricted area and stretched out his foot to intercept Darren Bent’s backward triangle.
However, the moment he stretched out his leg, he knew that he had been tricked.
Heinze was shocked and regretful that he had been tricked by Darren Bent.
Darren Bent swung his right leg to make an inverted triangle pass, but when he touched the ball, he used the back of his right foot to gently divert the ball towards the baseline defense, diverting it from Heinze.
By the time Heinze turned around, it was too late, and Darren Bent had thrown him behind him.
“Beautiful! Darren did a great job!” On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng directly jumped up and stretched his neck. He stared at the field like a little confused brother, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The Manchester United fans were so scared that they instantly fell silent. At that moment, there was only one voice on the scene, and that was the Leeds United fans shouting in unison, “Darren, shatter Manchester United’s balls!”
The Manchester United fans’ faces instantly turned extremely ugly, their eyes scarlet and their mouths furiously roaring, “Fuck him! Turn him over! Break his legs and he’ll never be able to kick a ball. Kill the bastards of Leeds United!”
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar quickly moved horizontally and blocked the angle of the goal.
Heinze and Sylvester chased after Darren Bent like crazy.
Huntelaar held Rio Ferdinand in the middle and raised his hand to signal Darren Bent to pass the ball. He was empty and he had a chance to empty the goal.
Darren Bent saw the gap and immediately waved his right leg to sweep the football across the middle of the road.
Van der Sar, who was standing in front of the goal, was shocked. He immediately turned around and swiftly moved horizontally.
“Wow! Beautiful, beautiful fake! Darren Bent used almost the same move to shake Heinze and Van der Sar. Oh my God, Darren Bent is going to heaven!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
The Leeds United fans screamed with joy, their palms red.
Darren Bent used Huntelaar in the middle to deceive Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
Darren Bent gently moved the ball to the side again with the back of his right foot, shaking Van der Sar and leaving a sliver of space in the corner.
Darren Bent didn’t say anything when he saw the empty space. He swung his leg and shot.
Yes, Darren Bent is not a pushover, but an explosion!
Because Darren Bent didn’t dare to underestimate Van der Sar’s reaction speed and height and arm length, if the ball was slow, a goalkeeper as monstrous as Van der Sar would probably pounce on the football.
So, just to be on the safe side, Darren Bent shot out with a big kick.
With a bang, Darren Bent slammed his foot into the football and it rushed out into the upper right corner of the goal.
Van der Sar really didn’t have a chance. He could only raise his head and sigh in his heart.
With a whoosh, the football flew into Manchester United’s goal like a loaded cannonball, smashing into the white ball net fiercely, stirring up a wave of white water!
“Beautiful! Great job, Darren! You’re the best!” On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng raised his fists and shouted excitedly.
Rogers rushed out and hugged Zhong Cheng tightly. They celebrated excitedly together.
Ferguson’s eyes widened and he was shocked. Today, he was played by Leeds United, and he was played by Zhong Cheng. He had always thought that in this match, Leeds United would definitely retaliate as they had in the past. However, he didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to do such a thing for him.
To tell the truth, Leeds United’s sudden attack today caught him off guard.
Moreover, Ferguson could tell that Leeds United’s tactics were not impromptu and that they had trained for a long time. Otherwise, they would not be so familiar with them.
Ferguson couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Zhong Cheng and stare at him.
Looks like I’ve underestimated this kid!
