The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 377

377 This Is Not the Worst Sign
Zhong Cheng came to Switzerland only after he had unified his internal opinions.

Zhong Cheng was currently sitting at the drawing ceremony. He naturally saw the head coach of Middlesbrough, McClaren. McClaren was a little lonely because his good friend Allardyce had already been eliminated.

At this moment, McClaren was no longer as arrogant as before!

In the league, Zhong Cheng had taught McClaren a good lesson. McClaren has been unable to lift his head, and now he doesn’t want the title of best young coach in England.

At the scene, McClaren did not interact with Zhong Cheng at all.

The foreign media reporters were a little surprised. After all, the coaches of other league teams were sitting together, chatting and laughing. Only the two coaches of England seemed to have no language between them.

English journalists were naturally very clear about this, and they were not surprised at all. If Zhong Cheng and McLaren were talking and laughing, they would be surprised.

Zhong Cheng was able to talk to the fast coach in Bucharest. The two of them were chatting and laughing.

Very quickly, the secretary-general of UEFA appeared. He was the host of the drawing of lots for the UEFA Cup. Seeing this person arrive, the scene became much quieter.

Zhong Cheng also sat up straight, his eyes only staring at the stage.

At this moment, DiMatteo whispered in Zhong Cheng’s ear, “Boss, which team do you want us to draw for?”

Zhong Cheng looked at the stage and whispered, “Actually, other than the teams from the five major leagues and the Russian teams, they are all fine! Of course, especially the Russian teams, you know where the weather is very bad!”

Yes, the last thing Zhong Cheng wanted to do right now was to go to these places where the weather was extremely bad.

Actually, sometimes the weather in England is very bad. There are snowfield competitions, and there are often cloudy, rainy and stormy days. However, it was relatively good.

Zhong Cheng had experienced the weather in Russia once. He really didn’t want to experience it a second time!

Dimateo immediately nodded and said, “Yes, the weather in Russia is really terrible. I hope we don’t get St. Petersburg Zenit!”

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, “I hope your crow’s mouth isn’t so smart!”

DiMatteo was slightly stunned, and then said with grievance, “Boss, it seems that you mentioned the Russian team first. If Crow’s Beak is also you, how about it?”

Zhong Cheng immediately waved his hand and said, “Aiya, don’t pay attention to these details. You must carry the pot on your back well. No one else can help you!”

DiMatteo suddenly rolled his eyes and sighed in his heart, “Sure enough, alas!”

It was at this moment that the draw for the UEFA Cup final 16 in 2005/06 began. All eyes were fixed on the UEFA Secretary-General on the stage, waiting for the draw to be made.

The first to be drawn out was Bucharest Quick. After seeing this, Zhong Cheng naturally hoped that they would be able to draw this team. Because they had a lot of contact with this national team, they were very confident in defeating them.

The second team to be pulled out was Real Betis from Spain. This team was relatively strong, and it was from the Spanish La Liga. Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly. He still did not want to draw this team.

Next, the third team drawn by the UEFA Secretary-General was Leeds United. Zhong Cheng’s heart tightened. Could he get the Bucharest Fast team?

Soon, the answer was revealed.

The position of Leeds United coincides with that of Real Betis. Yes, the result has been announced. Leeds United’s opponent in the final 16 is Real Betis from La Liga!

Real Betis was still very strong. Zhong Cheng felt that he was a bit unlucky to draw for this team.

However, at this moment, DiMatteo let out a big breath in Zhong Cheng’s ear and said, “Whoosh, if it wasn’t for Zenit of St Petersburg, I wouldn’t have to carry this pot anymore!”

Zhong Cheng immediately turned his head and glared at DiMatteo, “Are you happy you didn’t get Zenit from St Petersburg?”

DiMatteo was slightly stunned. What was the situation?

Isn’t that what you said, as long as we don’t get the Russian team? Now that he hadn’t poked Zenit in St. Petersburg, shouldn’t he be signing it? Why are you so unhappy and angry?

“Shouldn’t I be happy?” Dimateo asked in a daze.

Zhong Cheng glared coldly at DiMatteo and said, “Are you so happy to win the five big leagues?”

DiMatteo choked heavily and immediately shook his head, “Of course not!”

Zhong Cheng coldly glared at DiMatteo and said, “You still have to carry this pot!”

DiMatteo instantly felt wronged to death, he immediately said: “Why? This pot is not mine!”

Zhong Cheng snorted coldly and said, “I said this pot is yours, it is yours, you are the professional Back Pot Man!”

DiMatteo, what else is there to say? He had no choice but to carry this pot on his back. Who called Zhong Cheng the owner of the team?

Very quickly, the draw for the UEFA Cup final 16 in 2005/06 was completed, The draw went like this: Bucharest against Hamburg quickly, Leeds against Real Betis, Palermo against Schalke 04, Lille against Seville, Basel against Strasbourg, Marseille against Zenit St Petersburg, Udinese against Sofia Levski and Middlesbrough against Roma.

To be honest, Leeds United’s signing is a lot better than Middlesbrough’s.

Roma were very strong and everyone thought Middlesbrough were doomed. Now England’s hopes are on Leeds United.

However, it was clear that the English media were not optimistic about Leeds United. They believed that Leeds United were no match for Real Betis and Leeds United were finished at this time.

However, when the draw came out and Zhong Cheng was interviewed by the reporters, he said, “Obviously, this lot is not a lot, but it is not a lot for us. I think Royal Betis is really strong, but we still have the strength to defeat them!”

“As long as we don’t get the Russian team, it’s a good lot for Leeds United. No matter who the opponent is, we have to go all out to defeat them. As for those media outsiders who don’t understand the ball, I don’t think you need to pay any attention because they don’t understand anything,” Zhong said.

Zhong Cheng continued, “In my opinion, it is not impossible for Middlesbrough to defeat Roma because there are many powerful players in the Middlesbrough team, such as Viduka and Hassel Baink. As long as their head coach is not too weak, it will be very easy for them to reach the final.”

Alright, Zhong Cheng directly drugged McLaren and ruthlessly belittled him.

“It’s clear that McClaren is focusing all his attention on the UEFA Cup. They’ve given up on the Premier League long ago. If they don’t make it to the UEFA Cup final and win, they will lose,” said Zhong Cheng.

Yes, now many people can see that McClaren’s focus is on the UEFA Cup, they have given up the Premier League very well, if McClaren can not be considered a good strength of the Middlesbrough into the UEFA Cup final, he will be defeated!

The reporters were all shocked. Zhong Cheng was right. If McClaren didn’t get a good result like this, he would be a failure!

At this time, the media reporters naturally put more attention on Zhong Cheng.

“Yes, the situation is very awkward for Leeds United. Which way should we go, the Premier League or the UEFA Cup?” Zhong said.

The media reporters all stared at Zhong Cheng. They wanted to know what Zhong Cheng was thinking.

Zhong Cheng said: “It’s still a bit early to say these things. Let’s go with both paths. We didn’t set a specific goal for us either. To be honest, even with our current record, our Leeds United have been very successful this season. After all, we are promoted!”

Only after hearing this did the reporters realize that Leeds United was just a promotion. It was truly shocking that they had such results now. Zhong Cheng was right, even though Convenience United’s results this season were like this, they were also successful!

Although this was correct, it did cause the English media to lose all face, and they were in a very bad mood.

Leeds United’s result was a slap in the face. Who told them to swear before the game that Leeds United were the favourite to be relegated?

Leeds United are not only not the favourites for relegation, they are also the strongest contenders for the Premier League title, and they have also reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup, which is amazing!

At this time, the media reporters were truly speechless. Could this damned Madman Loria be their nemesis? Why was it that no matter what they said, they were going to be slapped in the face?

Right now, these reporters didn’t have any good looks towards Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng did not stay here too long. He directly led his team back to England because there were still important matches waiting for them in England!

At this time, the movie “Night Club” was about to be painted.

‘Night Club’ has also caused a sensation in China, with less than 5 million soft-girl notes spent on the show, compared with 48 million at the box office, which industry insiders claim was properly worth more than 50 million when ‘Night Club’ was drawn.

This result truly shocked countless people!

“Zhong Cheng Pictures” has stirred up the entire Chinese film industry with two movies this year. This is a two-step, very typical, small-budget comedy movie, but the effect is exceptionally good. “Zhong Cheng Pictures” has made a lot of money.

Moreover, at this time, there were well-known entertainment media reporting everywhere. In fact, “Night Club” had actually invested less than 3 million soft-sister notes, which attracted the exclamations of the entire Chinese movie industry, and they all cried out in alarm that Zhong Cheng was the Son of Miracles!
