The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 474
474 Super Mario’s on the Move
This was the starting list in Ah Ming Fei’s heart. He should be the absolute main force. He was expelling this lineup, he definitely wanted to have a real match with Leeds United to test their current strength.
Zhong Cheng knew that Stuttgart’s squad was very strong, because this season, Stuttgart had won the Bundesliga, and Mario Gomez had won the honor of being a German football player and was ranked fourth on the shooter’s list.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng would not underestimate Stuttgart’s formation.
However, Leeds United did not have a full-back lineup. The starting lineup for Leeds United today is as follows:
Visiting team: Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Vermaelen, Ivanovic and Gary Kelly
Single waist: Mascherano
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Dembele, Yaya Toure and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Tevez
This was the starting lineup of Leeds United today, which looked like a half-starting half-substitute lineup. At this moment, Ribery, Evra and the others were sitting on the bench, waiting for an opportunity.
Ribery and Evra have only just returned to Leeds United. Their fitness hasn’t improved and their fitness has some problems. After all, they have mentioned the World Cup for a month. Their bodies are very tired. Although they are on leave for a while, there are still some things they need to do.
Next up, Ribery and Evra’s first priority was to store up their physical strength!
In this match, Zhong Cheng did not let them start. Instead, he let them sit on the bench and wait for the second half of the match. Only then did Flaming Fire let them come out and adapt to the rhythm of the match.
In this match, Hua Jin started again. So far, he has started every pre-season friendly for Leeds United, and it is clear that Zhong Cheng will have to rely heavily on Watkin for the new season. Luca Toni does not have as much time as Joaquin, but he will also be a regular striker for Leeds United this season, which is unavoidable.
Zhong Cheng hoped that the two of them could merge into the tactical system of Leeds United as soon as possible, so that they could use their strength to play for Leeds United.
This match was a very good test for the two of them. Stuttgart’s strength was very strong.
At this moment, the match began.
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United was unusual. They controlled the football to pass back and forth between their coaches and pushed it towards the forbidden area of the Stuttgart Club. The speed was not very fast, but it was very solid. Looking at Leeds United’s offensive position, it was something they had practiced.
Ah Ming Fei’s eyes lit up and he was shocked. The Leeds United team this season seems to be different from the previous Leeds United team. This season, the Leeds United team’s positional attack has obviously increased a lot. Could it be that Leeds United are going to change their tactical style this season?
Amin Fei’s eyes were only on the pitch, wanting to see what other pleasant surprise Leeds United would bring him?
At this moment, Leeds United had already reached the Stuttgart restricted area. Stuttgart was in danger. Leeds United had been stumbling for two or three minutes outside Stuttgart’s box, and Stuttgart had been hiding in their own box.
The Stuttgart players also threw themselves out, but the results weren’t very good, and the players who lost at Leeds could easily pass the football on even if they were in a pack.
Amin Fei’s heart trembled. When did Leeds United’s position attack so fiercely? What the hell did Madman Loria do to Leeds United? How did this happen to Leeds United? Could it be that Leeds United are soon going to pick up the Tiki-Taka set in Barcelona?
Ah Ming Fei shook his head slightly. Wasn’t Zhong Cheng giving up his life to chase after the last one? He had given up on his excellent tactics and advantages and learned some things that he didn’t have. He really didn’t know what Zhong Cheng was thinking.
However, at this moment, Hua Jin, who was on the side, suddenly stood up and passed.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and quickly flew into Stuttgart’s restricted area, spinning towards Luca Toni in the middle of the area.
The Stuttgart centre-back is not short. However, when they faced Luca Toni, the pressure in their hearts was very great. This guy was too tall, and his header was very powerful. If the ball was passed correctly, it would be very dangerous.
Stuttgart fans on the sidelines complained about left-back Ludovic Maninger, how could he let Leeds United cross so easily? This was especially true for Hua Jin Zhuan Zhong, whose strength was extraordinary. Was this simply the tempo of courting death?
It wasn’t that Ludovic Maninger didn’t want to intercept Joaquin’s cross, it was that he didn’t have time. Leeds United’s pass was very fast. When the football came under Watkin’s feet, he was still a little far away from Watkin, so he didn’t even have time to pounce.
Joaquin then calmly crossed the ball, and the angle was perfect, the football quickly flew into Stuttgart’s restricted area.
Luca Toni jumped up high, suppressing Stuttgart centre-back Del Pierre and shooting straight at the goal. The ball whistled and flew towards Stuttgart’s goal. Fortunately, Hildebrand reacted in time and jumped high, pushing the ball out of the bottom line with one palm.
However, Del Pierre also had a lot of credit. Although he didn’t try to win against Luca Toni, he cleverly interfered with Luca Toni, otherwise the goal would have been scored.
After landing, Luca Tony turned to look at Del Pierre in surprise.
On the sidelines, Rogers immediately said: “Stuttgart’s defense is interesting. This team is indeed not weak. However, we haven’t seen any performance from Mario Gomez yet. However, his several runs are not bad!”
Zhong Cheng said: “This Stuttgart’s strength is very strong, it is impossible to say that they can reach the Bundesliga championship this season!”
Rogers was shocked. He exclaimed, “No way. Stuttgart is strong, but they’re not that strong yet. Armin Fei just accepted the team. Boss, aren’t you going too far?”
Zhong Cheng smiled faintly and said, “Am I going too far? However, with Stuttgart’s strength this season, if nothing unexpected happens, Stuttgart is likely to be the champion of the Bundesliga!”
Although Rogers respected Zhong Cheng like a god, he still didn’t believe these words. Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga are still very strong, and Werder Bremen and the others are quite strong. It is almost impossible for Stuttgart to win the championship.
Rogers didn’t say anything. His eyes were fixed on the field.
Zhong Cheng turned his head to glance at Rogers and said with a smile, “You should have a good look, right? Look clearly at Stuttgart’s strength.”
A corner kick, a Leeds United throw to get a corner kick.
Hua Jin arrived at the corner and drove the corner out.
With a bang, the football flew into Stuttgart’s restricted area. However, the football was punched out by the attacking Hildebrand. Mascherano immediately stretched out his bow and shot a violent long shot. Unfortunately, he did not suppress it. The football directly fired an anti-aircraft cannon.
Javier Mascherano’s talent is still defensive, of course long range shooting is also a skill. However, he was still very immature, and he hadn’t reached home yet.
Rogers stared fixedly at the field. His mind was actually entirely on Mario Gomez, wanting to see Mario Gomez’s performance. But now, this guy’s performance was in order. He did not show any double-eyed performance. Instead, his shortcomings were exposed, that is, his skill was too rough. It didn’t matter if he was too weak in passing the ball. Sometimes, he couldn’t even pass the ball, so he directly stopped the ball three meters away from his body.
A person who hasn’t even mastered such a basic skill can really enter the top ten centers of the future world?
Rogers had some doubts about Zhong Cheng’s judgement, but he still hadn’t come to such an early conclusion. He continued to read, wanting to examine this fellow in all directions.
At this time, Stuttgart’s backcourt sent out a long pass and the football flew towards the front court.
At this moment, Leeds United centre-back Ville Mullen rushed out, heading towards Mario Gomez from behind, hoping to snatch a spot with Mario Gomez. Apparently, Mario Gomez had eaten Vermaelen to death.
Mario Gomez jumped up high, a header behind him, and the football was pushed towards Kako who was inserted in front of him.
Kakao unloaded the football and took a step forward. He shot a long, violent kick and the football flew towards Leeds United’s goal. The speed of the ball was very fast. However, Zhong Zheng was faster. He jumped sideways and pushed the football out of the bottom line with one palm.
Ka Kao was a little dumbfounded by the excellent save, but he didn’t even score this goal?
Amin Fei had already stood up and was about to celebrate. Who knew that Zhong Zheng would come out halfway and slap the football with one palm?
Unfortunately, Stuttgart’s attack this time was a success. Unfortunately, his luck was not good.
A corner kick. Stuttgart got a corner kick. They will continue to test the fitness of Leeds United.
Rogers’ eyes lit up. From this attack, Rogers could tell something. Mario Gomez was a strong fellow, able to withstand people in the front court. Moreover, this fellow’s judgment of the landing point of the high ball was very accurate. Most importantly, this fellow’s ability to bounce and head was very outstanding. No wonder Zhong Cheng gave Mario Gomez such a high evaluation.
Now, Rogers believes that Mario Gomez will be a very good striker.
However, it remains to be seen that this fellow will be able to enter the top ten of the future high center.
It was at this moment that Hilbert’s flat kick in Stuttgart’s corner swept the football to the front of the restricted area and it rolled under Antonio da Silva’s feet. The back immediately swung his leg and faked a violent long shot, pushing the football into the forbidden area.
Mario Gomez appeared in the most critical position, shoveling the ball into Leeds United’s goal, one-zero, from behind.4
