The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 379
379 He Seemed to Be Unprepared
The 29th round was over, and Leeds United instantly regained their image.
In this round of matches, they beat Bolton 5-1, directly overturning Allardyce.
Allardyce shouted wildly before the game, claiming that he was able to organize Leeds United and that they would never recover. He was confident that Zhong Cheng would be unable to take care of himself, and he was full of confidence before the match.
However, Allardyce was shameless.
Allardyce did not even appear at the post-match press conference and fainted from anger.
What Zhong Cheng didn’t expect was that Allardyce would be fired by Bolton the next day. Yes, he was fired, not Allardyce. It could be seen that Bolton was extremely dissatisfied with Allardyce and did not care about Allardyce’s mood or situation.
When Allardyce finished class at this time, it was obvious that Zhong Cheng had slapped him fiercely in the face, and he would never be able to lift his head up from Zhong Cheng’s work. However, Bolton did indeed do so. This was not showing any mercy at all.
The Bolton fans were very happy and applauded in support of the team’s actions. They were very supportive of Allardyce’s dismissal.
The Bolton fans left messages on their official website to celebrate. They were also lined up in the form of a motorcade. The formation was very neat and very good. This posture was like celebrating the entire world. This was to know how unpopular Allardyce was.
It seems that when Bolton was eliminated from the UEFA Cup, the officials of Bolton Club and the fans of Bolton were very dissatisfied with him. Zhong Cheng was the last straw to crush Allardyce.
Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy to see this news. He wished he could give the Bolton fans a thumbs up. We want to give you some praise.
At this time, the good news reporters actually found Zhong Cheng and came to Zhong Cheng’s opinion on Allardyce’s dismissal.
Zhong Cheng was truly convinced by these media reporters. Zhong Cheng raised his hands and gave a thumbs-up in his heart. This time, it won my heart!
“Obviously, I think the Bolton fans have done a great job. The Bolton executives have done a good job. A bully like Allardyce should have resigned a long time ago and not even been allowed to coach the Bolton team. What else could a guy like him do other than brag?” Zhong Cheng said straightforwardly in response to the reporters’ questions.
The reporters’ eyes were wide open. They really didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to actually fall to the ground like this.
Oh my God, this is a direct tear! Come on!
This was clearly what the media reporters were most happy to see. Many people were too happy to say anything. Today was really worth it.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Obviously, boasting is going to kill you, and you will die miserably. Allardyce was clearly committing suicide. I hope that our comrades will not imitate Allardyce in the future. You should pay attention to your words in the future!”
After answering this question, Zhong Cheng turned around and ignored it!
After dealing with this matter, Zhong Cheng completely ignored Allardyce and turned his gaze to the upcoming UEFA Cup knockout round of the final 16.
Yes, the UEFA Cup knockout round of the last 16 will arrive next week in the middle of the week.
This time, Leeds United’s opponent was a team that had always been very strong, Real Betis.
Last season, Real Betis played in the Champions League and was very unfamiliar with the strength of the team. This season, they came to the UEFA Cup, they were also eliminated from the Champions League this season, they are considered in the UEFA Cup in the strength of the relatively good team.
Therefore, this team is quite challenging for Leeds United.
Real Betis drew 2-2 with Eckmaya in the last round, winning 1-0 in overtime and advancing 3-2 overall.
This match was very important to both teams, and they had to win.
This game was Leeds United’s home ground. Real Betis had already arrived at Leeds and they were full of confidence in this game.
Real Betis head coach Iputa said: “In this match, our opponent is the powerful Leeds United. Their strength is very strong. This is a very difficult matter for us. This is also the home ground of the Leeds United. This match is a test for us, a very powerful test!”
Iputa added: “Of course, we came away with the confidence to win.” We have done a lot of research on Leeds United. Roja is a very, very, very strong manager. His journey is a dream. To be honest, I admire him very much. If I were not the head coach of Real Betis, I would admire him very much!
The reporters were all shocked. They didn’t expect Iputa to say that.
Ipeta continued: “To be honest, Leeds United are very difficult to deal with. But what I want to say is that we will definitely go all out, we will definitely go all out. “In this game, we will definitely win against united. We will face this game at our best because this is the greatest respect we have for them!
Iputa has made it very clear that they are confident in this match.
The Real Betis came with a very fierce fighting spirit. They were here to win, and this match was bound to be a smoke-filled one.
The media reporters rushed towards Zhong Cheng. They were interviewing him one after another.
Zhong Cheng told reporters: “Yes, Real Betis has done well in recent seasons. They are a very strong team.” “It ‘s a big challenge for leeds united because they’ re from spain, their tactics are very special, they ‘re very serious about technology, it’ s a big threat to us!
The media reporters nodded their heads in succession. It seemed that Zhong Cheng understood what was going on!
“Zhong Cheng is continuing the tree hole ah:” This match is our home court, we are ready. And our opponents travel tiredness, long distance travel, this has a great impact on their condition, and last weekend they also played in the league, they must be very tired, we have plenty of opportunities!
Zhong Cheng was telling the truth. He was very confident!
To tell the truth, every match now was very confident that Zhong Cheng would come to the capital.
Although Chelsea have widened the score by three points in the league, the gap is not very big. Leeds United have a good chance of catching up with them or even overtaking Chelsea. Later, there will be a direct match between the two teams. Perhaps this match will determine the title of the Premier League this season.
Right now, Zhong Cheng is not thinking about the league, he is still thinking about the UEFA Cup.
Now that the UEFA Cup had progressed to this point, Zhong Cheng naturally hoped to lead the team to a better result. He could even directly win the UEFA Cup this season.
If that’s the case, then Leeds United will be the first team to win the UEFA Cup as a promotion team, and Zhong Cheng’s name will forever be engraved in the UEFA Cup’s historical memory.
In front of the reporters, Zhong Cheng said, “We, Leeds United, will definitely go all out in this match. We will definitely win this match.”
Zhong Cheng was full of confidence, just like how he played in any game!
At this moment, Leeds United fans cheered excitedly. Because their home game against Real Betis has begun and the players on both sides are on the pitch.
Zhong Cheng’s formation today is 4-2-3-1. The starting list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Minolet
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Evra, Gary Cahill, Pique and Sagna
Double waist: Maniche and Nigel Dejon
Three avant-garde “from left to right”: Ribery, Modric, Dembele
Single forward: Huntelaar
Yes, Huntelaar, who is still suspended, is on the starting line-up. Huntelaar cannot play in the Premier League, but he can play in the UEFA Cup.
In addition, Huntelaar, who had been holding back for a while, performed very well in these few matches, which made Zhong Cheng a little tempted. He could simply let Huntelaar play in the UEFA Cup and let Crespo play in the league.
However, Zhong Cheng hadn’t made up his mind yet. He was still hesitating and considering it.
Crespo’s form in the last league match wasn’t very good. After all, his form had been improving for so long, so it was normal for him to have some ups and downs. However, Zhong Cheng did not know what Crespo would do in the next match. He was prepared to take a look.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United were still defending and counterattacking.
To be honest, in terms of defensive tactics, the current Leeds United team is very similar to the Atletico Madrid team of Simoni, both because of Ortega. However, this Leeds United team also had many of Zhong Cheng’s own characteristics, as well as Zhong Cheng’s ability to draw on the strengths of other families.
Against Real Betis, Leeds United’s defensive prowess created a lot of trouble for the Real Betis. The teams from La Liga are mainly in possession and passing. Their feet are very flexible, but their physical confrontation is a bit worse.
Especially in the face of Leeds United’s oppressive defense and high physical resistance, Real Betis were really unable to withstand it.
When the Real Betis attackers overwhelmed the front court, they were pushed back by the Leeds United players. They were completely blown up in terms of physical confrontation.
At this moment, Iputa frowned. Leeds United were really difficult to deal with.
Leeds United’s tactics seemed to be designed to restrain the La Liga side, which left Ipeta shocked and worried about the game. They were no longer confident.
Yes, this tactic is really a bit restraining for La Liga teams.
It was as if Athletic Madrid were the next generation in La Liga, they were so unique and unique. In the La Liga, it was a bit of a crushing gesture. They were more restrained in the tactics of the La Liga, which allowed them to achieve good results.
But now, facing Leeds United’s tactics, Iputa did not seem to have much preparation.
