The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 370
370 What a Valuable Deal
“Counterattack, Leeds United’s sharp counterattack, Manchester United is in danger!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
“Beautiful, beautiful spike. Ribery directly dumped Sylvester. Single slash, Ribery single slash. Chance!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
All the Leeds United fans screamed excitedly as they cheered for Leeds United.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng stretched his neck and stared fixedly at Ribery. In his heart, he shouted crazily, “Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!”
All the Leeds United fans were shouting the same words: “Shoot!”
The voice was incomparably loud and dumbfounded the Manchester United fans present.
Ribery obviously heard the shouts of the fans on the field. He didn’t even think about it and directly swung his leg and shot.
With a bang, Ribery struck the ball hard and it sped towards the far corner of the goal.
The ball was very fast. Ribery had exerted his full strength. The football was like a bolt of lightning. It was very fast.
The speed of the ball was really too fast. Van der Sar, who was in front of the goal, could not see the football’s trajectory clearly.
All the Manchester United fans at the scene closed their eyes in despair and did not dare to continue watching. On the sidelines, Alex Ferguson’s expression was extremely ugly and he hated these damned players to death.
With a slap, Van der Sar’s fingertips touched the football. The football immediately changed directions, brushing against the distal pillar and rolling out of the bottom line.
“Wow, there he is. Van der Sar is here. My God, a magical save. Van der Sar saved Manchester United. Good job, very good job!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
Van der Sar’s save was perfect. He was like a supreme goalkeeper. He was Manchester United’s patron saint. The Manchester United fans at the scene had already praised Van der Sar to the skies and excitedly called out Van der Sar’s name.
On the sidelines, Ferguson kept applauding. However, while applauding, he was also reminding Manchester United’s players to be careful when defending and not to give Leeds United such a chance.
The Manchester United players were all shocked. Leeds United’s counter-attack was still so sharp. Almost everyone could not help but turn their heads to look at Ribery in the Leeds United formation. This fellow really had to be on guard.
Corner kicks, Leeds United get the chance to corner kicks.
The Manchester United players were very serious about defending, very seriously following the Leeds United players. At this time, they were very serious and even nervous. They shouted uncontrollably, reminding their teammates to pay attention to defense.
It was at this moment that Gourcuff raised his right hand from the corner and sprinted into the Manchester United box with a kick that swept the prize-winning soccer ball into the box.
Front, Van Nistelrooy jumped up high. Yes, she had already returned to the restricted area to defend the header. This time, his position was very good. The football had just flown over.
Van Nistelrooy looked at the football and threw the header, ready to head it out of the box.
However, the football flew over his head. Van Nistelrooy had fallen. All the Manchester United fans were shocked. What made them even more frightened was that the football flew straight towards Crespo in the middle.
Heinze, who was beside Crespo, was viciously remembered behind him. Heinze could only watch as Crespo jumped up high and threw his head at the goal.
With a bang, Crespo smashed his head into the football.
The ball flew towards Manchester United’s goal. It was too late for Van der Sar to react and Van Nistelrooy shook him.
Van der Sar’s fingertips touched the football but failed to stop it as it flew into Manchester United’s goal.
“Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!” Mark Lawrenson immediately jumped up frantically and roared excitedly.
The entire Old Trafford Stadium fell into deathly silence!
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng excitedly jumped up and waved his fist, screaming excitedly, “Great, really great job, perfect!”
The Leeds United fans cheered excitedly as they shouted Crespo’s name.
“Crespo, it was Crespo who scored. It seems that Huntelaar’s departure did not affect the efficiency of Leeds United’s goals. Leeds United are really amazing, Madman Loria is really amazing. Loan Crespo this season may be Zhong Cheng’s best guide, well done!” Eddie Gray roared with incomparable excitement.
The Leeds United fans also applauded Zhong Cheng. Crespo was one of the best on loan. Crespo’s performance was really good. This loan was very cost-effective.
The visiting Leeds United scored 1-0.
The Leeds United goal was not a counter-attack, but a corner kick that broke through Manchester United’s goal. They did a good job.
Van Nistelrooy shook his head repeatedly. Even at this moment, he did not expect that the ball would fall. He really could not figure it out. Even the rest of the Manchester United squad did not understand why van Nistelrooy had fallen to the top?
Only Cristiano Ronaldo gave Van Nistelrooy a fierce glance, as if it was all Van Nistelrooy’s fault.
The game was a fresh start, and Leeds United, who scored, played a more leisurely counter-attack. At this time, Manchester United had no choice but to attack crazily.
Manchester United have gone mad, and their fans are singing their team songs in unison to cheer their players on. Because they know that the United players need their support and support the most during this period of time.
The Manchester United fans immediately burst out in loud voices, cheering for the Manchester United players, who were full of energy and attacking crazily.
Scholes discovered the gap and stuffed the football under van Nistelrooy’s feet.
Van Nistelrooy pulled the ball around and passed Nigel Dejon to face Leeds United’s goal. At the same time, winger Cristiano Ronaldo slanted into the box and was in a very good position. Van Nistelrooy’s passing was a very good opportunity.
But at this moment Van Nistelrooy ignored Cristiano Ronaldo. With a swing of his leg, the football shot towards Leeds United’s goal.
The ball was very fast and powerful, but the football was too good. The football rolled into Zhong Zheng’s arms.
Van Nistelrooy didn’t have much of a problem shooting the ball. It was his instinct to shoot. He could shoot directly from this position, and if he played well, it would be very dangerous. However, if van Nistelrooy were to pass the football over, the chances would be better.
Unfortunately, van Nistelrooy chose to do it himself!
Van Nistelrooy had no intention of passing the football to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo was very unhappy, and now he could feel what Van Nistelrooy was feeling.
Cristiano Ronaldo was very dissatisfied and glared at Van Nistelrooy.
Van Nistelrooy didn’t even have a bird, so he turned around and left.
Zhong Zheng threw the ball and immediately launched a quick counterattack. Unfortunately, Oli ć didn’t hit the ball well. The football was directly cut off by wingback Silvestre. Then, he quickly passed the ball directly to Giggs in front of him.
Ryan Giggs immediately used his speed to move the ball along the sidelines, then directly crossed the ball into the Leeds United box, where Van Nistelrooy jumped high to head the goal and the ball was slightly above the bar.
Zhong Cheng was shocked and broke out in cold sweat. He immediately stood in Charlie’s shoes and shouted, “Pay attention to defense. Don’t let the wingers easily cross and block the oppressive force. Do you understand?”
The Leeds United players immediately waved their right hands. It means they know.
Leeds United’s defense was getting fiercer and fiercer. Giggs found it difficult to break through on the wing. Alex Ferguson’s face turned ashen as he called Cristiano Ronaldo to the side and criticized him.
Since then, Cristiano Ronaldo has played much more normally, only talking about the football under his feet passing to Van Nistelrooy. Of course, the prerequisite was that Van Nistelrooy would be in a better position to snatch the mine, but Cristiano Ronaldo was unwilling to pass the ball in half of the chances.
At this time, the players on both sides were playing very seriously. The game on the field was very stalemate, and both sides were threatening each other’s goals. However, their defenses were good and none of them managed to break through the opponents’ goal.
Just like that, the first half of the match between the two sides ended.
Leeds United took a 1-0 lead over Manchester United with a goal from Crespo.
This was more satisfying than Minute Credit, but the 1-0 lead was completely safe, so there was still a need for another counterattack in the second half.
At the beginning of the second half of the match, Zhong Cheng made a targeted arrangement, directly attacking to catch Manchester United off guard. Prepare to steal a goal at the beginning of the second half to expand the score.
The Leeds United players did the same at the beginning of the second half, but they did not succeed. Because the cunning Ferguson had already calculated all of this, they were tightly guarded and did not give the Leeds United any chance.
The Manchester United man was well prepared and Leeds United’s attack was naturally bankrupt.
Zhong Cheng shook his head. The jazz was indeed a jazz. He had actually anticipated this tactic, and had even made corresponding arrangements. It was truly a good move.
However, their Leeds United team was still in the lead. Although the tactics had been seen through, the initiative was still in his hands. Zhong Cheng was naturally relaxed.
But… Zhong Cheng still shouted loudly from the sidelines, reminding the Leeds United players to pay attention to defense.
At this moment, Manchester United suddenly launched an attack.
Alan Smith, who was in the middle, suddenly thrust the ball forward ferociously, with a ferocious momentum like a tiger. After messing up Leeds United’s defense, Leeds United’s Maniche immediately rushed forward. Who would have thought that Alan Smith and Scholes, who were in front of him, would come in two-on-one?
Alan Smith instantly passed Manichel and Nigel Dejon rushed forward.
Manchester United fans screamed with excitement when Alan Smith suddenly slanted the ball to the winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
After Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the ball, he immediately pretended to take the side and suddenly moved under his feet, moving sideways and heading straight for the middle.
Looking at Vermaelen, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly leaned behind Seville Mullen and all the Leeds United fans jumped up in horror.
“Danger, van Nistelrooy!” Mark Lawrenson roared madly.
