The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 384
384 Don’t Leave Regrets for Yourself
After losing 2-0 on the road, countless media outlets believed that Leeds United had no chance. Leeds United were powerless to turn the tables. Leeds United’s UEFA Cup tour this season had ended here, completely over.
The domestic media in England were wildly reporting on this matter, looking at Shuailizi United and Zhong Cheng one after another.
At this time, these media were all German media. They were all praising Hamburg and attacking Zhong Cheng and Leeds United. Zhong Cheng’s popularity was really bad.
However, this wasn’t something that made Zhong Cheng’s heart unbalanced. What made Zhong Cheng’s heart unbalanced was that Middlesbrough also lost 2-0 away to Basel, but this group of damned media reporters still thought Middlesbrough was the favourite to win the UEFA Cup.
Zhong Cheng finally saw clearly the ugly faces of these damned media reporters. The same ending, but not the same treatment.
Towards this, Zhong Cheng could only chuckle!
Why did MauMiddlesbrough fall behind 2-0 and our Leeds United fail to do so?
Zhong Cheng could only sneer at this!
You bunch of trash just wait to be slapped in the face. Watching the next round of the match between the two sides, I will definitely let you know just how bad your eyesight is.
At this stage, Leeds United’s condition wasn’t very good, and Zhong Cheng himself was a little worried.
At this time, Zhong Cheng thought that he had given Ortega, hoping that he could adjust the conditions of the Leeds United players and prepare for the upcoming matches.
This is the most critical moment of the season!
The league is coming to an end and the UEFA Cup is on the verge of being eliminated. The Leeds United have to adjust themselves or else the season will collapse.
At this time, Rogers found Zhong Cheng.
Looking at Rogers, Zhong Cheng raised his hand and said, “Brandan, do you look worried?”
Rogers looked up at Zhong Cheng and said after a while, “Boss, the situation is really dangerous. I think we should make some trade-offs at this time.” At this time, we have to give up one game before we can go all out for another. “If we grab both hands, our energy, physique, and experience will be lacking. I’m afraid … we’ll collapse!”
Rogers’ worries were normal, as had always been the case with Leeds United.
After all, Leeds United are a promotion team. Furthermore, the team that Zhong Cheng accepted wasn’t long ago, and he didn’t have the energy to coach before. More importantly, the players in the Leeds United team were almost all young players, and they did not have much experience to speak of.
This was a young army, and it was already a miracle that they were able to walk to this point.
If Leeds United insisted on being greedy, they would definitely not be able to chew and would choke on themselves!
Hearing this, Zhong Cheng leaned back in his chair, his hands crossed over his chest, and his slightly narrowed eyes stared fixedly at the ceiling. To tell the truth, this was something Zhong Cheng was worried about, and he was also hesitating.
Should Leeds United give up now?
Previously, although the Leeds Alliance had set a strategic goal, they were still a little shaken when things came to an end.
People are like this, easily affected by the external environment!
However, Zhong Cheng was a very independent person. Although he had some hesitation, it was not long before he forgot about these hesitations.
Zhong Cheng said firmly, “No need, we can’t give up on both of our hands!”
Rogers sighed. This result was already expected. They knew Zhong Cheng’s personality very well. Although they had known for a long time, as assistants, they still had to bring up the matter. As for the final decision, it was up to Zhong Cheng to decide for himself.
Obviously, Zhong Cheng did not surprise them this time.
Zhong Cheng said, “Although our team is not in a good condition and is facing many difficulties, I think we should still try to break through. We are still young and don’t fear that we won’t have a chance in the future. Right now, we just need to accumulate more experience and force ourselves to see where the bottom line of our potential lies.”
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Rogers nodded. Zhong Cheng’s words were very reasonable and inflammatory. Rogers believed it himself.
“Yes, boss, we know,” Rogers said.
Another thought ripple in the Leeds United Club was pushed down by Zhong Cheng. The Leeds United people once again set a good goal and moved forward!
Leeds United played Charlton at home this weekend.
The day before the Leeds United-Charlton game, Chelsea played away to Birmingham. Birmingham are third-from-bottom in the league and are now in the relegation zone. However, they were very close to going ashore, and now was the time for them to kowtow.
Common sense tells us that relegation teams are even harder to play than champions.
The truth is that Chelsea were tied away by relegation team Birmingham, 0-0.
Zhong Cheng and Leeds United are delighted to see an opportunity to catch up with the Chelsea man. The Leeds United are very excited and happy. They are waiting for Charlton to go berserk at home.
Zhong Cheng attached great importance to this match. Before the match, he had repeatedly instructed the players of Leeds United to go all out and win this match!
The Leeds United players were also confident as they marched into the Ellen Road stadium valiantly.
Unfortunately, Leeds had gone overboard.
The Leeds United counterattacked sharply and attacked ferociously. However, Charlton were not vegetarian either. The two teams had really eaten vegetarian food once in this match.
Leeds United were tied at home by Charlton 0-0.
That’s the same problem. The Leeds United are not in good shape. It’s good that they didn’t lose in this game.
Looking at the state of Leeds United, Rogers, DiMatteo, and the others’ minds started to float again. Wasn’t Leeds United’s desire to go all-out at this point insignificant?
The two of them felt that it was better for Leeds United to take the same path at this time. If the two sides moved forward together, there was a real possibility that it would collapse.
However, when they saw Zhong Cheng’s expression, they all shook their heads. They knew that even this draw did not change Zhong Cheng’s thoughts.
Rogers and DiMatteo sighed and wished Zhong Cheng and Leeds good luck in their hearts.
Moreover, Rogers and DiMatteo knew very well that there were many media reporters waiting for the Leeds United double-team to collapse, and then they saw Leeds United joke about it.
Looking at the current situation of Leeds United, Zhong Cheng was in danger.
It was a draw, but fortunately the Chelsea man also got a draw and the difference between their points was not widened.
However, at this moment, the Reds United man caught up.
Chelsea now have 73 points, ranking first in the Premier League. Leeds United are second in the Premier League with 70 points. The Reds quietly caught up with Manchester United, with 69 points.
Yes, the Premier League championship group has changed from a duo to a three-nation melee.
This time, the Premier League this season has been intense to the point of being the most exciting.
The Premier League fans were all excited. Who would win the Premier League this season?
Regardless of who it belonged to, the media reporters didn’t think it belonged to Leeds United!
Zhong Cheng really did not have the time to argue with these damned media reporters. Zhong Cheng had other very important things to do. At this moment, Zhong Cheng was leading the team to prepare for the second leg against Hamburg.
This game is very important to Leeds United and must be won. Moreover, they had to score at least two goals in this match.
The Leeds United fans were very nervous at this time, because the Leeds United team’s condition was really bad. Their last three games had been two losses and one draw, and their results were terrible.
At a time like this, he was actually going to face the Hamburg team. It was very close.
Leeds United’s fans were cheering for their players. They definitely couldn’t lose this match.
Zhong Cheng said to the Leeds United players in the dressing room: “This is a game that cannot be lost. The UEFA Cup champion is right in front of us. We are just a few more shivers away. Are you willing to give up like this?”
The Leeds United players were stunned as they stared at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng said: “Failure is not scary! What’s scary is that we admit defeat without fighting! Perhaps we will lose this match, or perhaps this season we will collapse and be laughed at by others. However, none of this matters. To me, it’s bullshit!”
The faces of the Leeds United players changed as they continued to stare at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng continued, “For us, the biggest gain is not regretting! Don’t leave behind regrets for ourselves! We have to fight against our opponents this match, this season, we have to fight against our opponents. Even if we die in the end, we will still fall on the road forward!”
The younger members of the Leeds United team all felt their hearts boil with passion, their faces flushed red.
Leeds United’s heart was filled with endless energy. At this moment, they felt like they were super Saiyans. They could defeat everything!
“Zero-to-two is not scary. Think about last year’s Liverpool men. They were able to do it in Istanbul. Why can’t we? Well, I won’t say any more nonsense. I hope you don’t leave any regrets for yourself. Go, fight!” Zhong Cheng said.
The Leeds United players screamed as they rushed out of the dressing room and into the players’ passageway.
In this match, Zhong Cheng’s formation was 4-1-3-2. The starting lineup was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Four defenders “from left to right”: Evra, Vermaelen, Pique and Sagna
Single waist: Maniche
Three avant-garde “from left to right”: Ribery, Modric, Milner
Twin strikers: Huntelaar and Darren Bent
The purpose of Zhong Cheng discharging this formation was already very clear, and that was to strengthen his offense. Otherwise, he would have ejected two backs and a single striker. Today, he had sent out a single-handed and double-handed striker. Zhong Cheng’s goal was already very clear, and that was to score goals again and again!
Hamburg did not change much. Obviously, they still wanted to score goals when they came away because as long as they got the goal, it would be the safest.
