The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 482
482 Controlling the Game, Losing Your Luck!
Leeds United trailed 0-1.
It was Leeds United’s first goal of the season and came so early.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were somewhat unconvinced. They stared blankly at the stadium for a long time, speechless.
The Liverpool fans cheered excitedly, their voices rushing into the sky as if they were going to poke a hole in the sky.
Liverpool fans are shouting crazily, “Die, Leeds United. Your future is in the Champions League, you’re going back this season, damn guys, hahaha!”
The Leeds United fans turned ashen and immediately began to scold the Liverpool fans madly and loudly.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng frowned.
This game, Leeds United showed a lot of things are indeed problematic, Leeds United players state is the most intuitive performance.
Was this all because of Vermaelen alone?
Actually, it wasn’t. The entire Leeds United team wasn’t in a good state, and Zhong Cheng’s brows were tightly knitted. He had never encountered such a thing before. Last season, Leeds United seemed to be hanging up. Although there were times when they were in low spirits, there were very few of them. Moreover, there had never been such a situation where the entire team was in a state of depression.
Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that it was unrealistic for a team to not be in a bad state.
However, the downturn at this time was really terrible for Leeds United. After all, this is the new season’s preliminaries, and the Premier League will begin next week. At this time, the Leeds United players were in a low state, so what was the start of the Leeds United game like?
Zhong hoped that Leeds United’s downturn would be limited to this one game, after which the Leeds United players would recover. Losing the Community Shield Cup championship would be nothing.
Now that Zhong Cheng was scared, the downturn in the Leeds United team continued for a long time.
If that’s the case, Leeds United will have a tough season.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng immediately stood up and walked to the side of the field, continuously applauding, signaling for the Leeds United players to cheer up.
Zhong Cheng shouted loudly, “Don’t be anxious, don’t be too anxious to level the score. Stabilize the defense first, retreat, and then find a chance to counterattack. Stabilize! Don’t be anxious, be patient!”
Yes, there was a problem with his condition, so Zhong Cheng chose to be pragmatic.
Let the Leeds United players recycle and set up buses in front of the goal to make sure the team doesn’t miss again. Lure the other party to attack crazily and surround them. Zhong Cheng did not believe that the Liverpool team did not make any mistakes. As long as they caught Leeds United making a mistake, the game would be played again.
If he wasn’t in a bad state, then Zhong Cheng would use numbers to defend the goal. This time, the Liverpool players wouldn’t be able to break through the crowd. Moreover, if there were more defensive players, they could make up for their teammates’ small mistakes and reduce the bad effects caused by their mistakes.
Zhong Cheng did not walk back. He was constantly shouting at the sidelines, constantly waving his hand to command the Leeds United players to defend.
The Liverpool man has been controlling the game for some time now, keeping the football under his feet and surrounding Leeds United. However, they didn’t get many opportunities.
“Wow! We can see that the Leeds United players are not in good shape. However, Roja’s adjustment is very timely and beyond everyone’s expectations. The effect is also very shocking. Roja is really a very strong coach!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.
“Actually, Leeds United’s results last season proved Roja is a very outstanding coach. She is now the best young coach in England and he is really young enough. Many players are called young at his age!” Eddie Gray said immediately.
“Haha, that’s right. Roja, a half-way man, has thrown a lot of people behind him. Now that Leeds United have stabilized their defense and are on track, the next question is, how are they going to level the score?” Mark Lawrenson asked doubtfully.
Eddie Gray pondered for a while and then said: ‘Obviously Roja is waiting for the Liverpool man to make a mistake. Now the Liverpool man is in the mood and I think they will make a mistake!
Mark Lawrenson didn’t say anything and just nodded. He agreed with Eddie Gray.
At this moment, on the pitch. Liverpool’s pass was a mistake and Liverpool centre-back Agger’s pass to the winger Kewell was a bit soft and was directly cut off by Edison Cavani who was frantically trying to grab it from the front court.
“Ah, the ball is broken, Leeds United is broken! It’s deadly to break in this position, Liverpool are in danger! Roja is waiting for the chance, Leeds United are going to counterattack!” Eddie Gray jumped up and shouted excitedly.
The Leeds United fans jumped up in excitement and shouted, “Go! Leeds counterattack, counterattack crazily! Kill the Liverpoolers! Here’s our chance, Liverpoolers! Die!”
Edison Cavani, who had stolen the ball, did not pass the ball at the first possible moment. Instead, he rushed forward and rushed forward at top speed.
Liverpool fans were shocked and Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher rushed forward to block Edison Cavani head-on. Carragher does this job for Liverpool, and he is confident that the little guy in front of him is unknown and very young.
However, the moment he threw himself out, Edison Cavani, who caught up with the football, stuffed it out and the football quickly rolled past Carragher towards Luca Toni in the middle.
Luca Tony straightforwardly carried Agger on his back.
Yes, Luca Tony is signaling that Edison Cavani is not strong enough to move forward and reel a single knife. Moreover, this was still near the middle lap. He was too far away from the opponent’s goal, so he didn’t have the confidence to bring it over.
So, Luca Tony chose the ball under his feet.
Luca Tony had already chosen his seat and placed Agger behind him. Agger desperately stretched out his hand in front of Luca Toni, wanting to grab the ball in front of Luca Toni. However, all of this was in vain. Luca Tony firmly trapped Agger behind him.
“Wow, Luca Toni is such a great centre-forward, Agger is so tender, he was completely eaten to death by Luca Toni. Roja’s reinforcements are great, perfect!” Shouted Eddie Gray excitedly.
The football rolled under Luca Tony’s feet. He did not stop the ball but directly pushed it back to his half. The football quickly rolled towards Modric who was following him.
Modric didn’t stop the ball at all. Instead, he crossed the ball diagonally and sent it over to the right.
The football flew past the head of Liverpool winger Arne Riise, who was leaning near the centre line, and behind him. At the same time, Hua Jin had already rushed past him like a gust of wind.
While Luca Tony and Agger were fighting, Joaquin rushed out of his half-court like a speeding sports car.
The speed was so fast that the Liverpool fans burst into screams of horror.
Modric saw Joaquin on the side, so he didn’t stop the ball. He directly sent the ball to Joaquin’s line with a slanted kick. Moreover, the ball was a bit large, giving Joaquin enough time to advance.
“Wonderful pass! My God, Modric’s pass was really beautiful and perfect. This long pass was definitely world-class!” Mark Lawrenson also roared excitedly.
Yes, although the ball looked a little big, it was because Liverpool’s backcourt was incomparably empty. There was no one there at all. If the ball passed, it would definitely be a super good ball.
The Liverpool players immediately turned around and chased after him.
However, when the Liverpool players saw Joaquin’s back, they had the urge to cry. This guy was really too fast.
Lithur turned around and immediately raised his right hand, indicating that Watkin was offside.
All the Liverpool fans on the scene were also lying with their eyes wide open as they shouted: “Offside, this is an offside ball, this ball is offside to the referee!”
However, the referee and linesman saw very clearly that the ball was not offside,
Hua Jin caught up with the football and suddenly made a move forward. He suddenly sprinted out and started to run.
Hurry, it’s really too fast.
Joaquin caught up with the football and quickly drove the ball into the Liverpool box.
This is a test for Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Should he charge out or not? The Liverpool fans shouted, “Go, go, fucking Joaquin, fucking him, go!”
Reina felt the blood in his body boil when he heard the shouts of the Liverpool fans. He felt as if his body was about to explode with strength. Come on, this daddy is not afraid of anyone. This daddy is an invincible heavenly deity.
In the end, Reina chose to retreat!
Yes, Reina chose to retreat instead of attacking.
Pepe Reina has no confidence in his attack and even though the Liverpool fans are so excited that they want him to rush out, he still has no choice.
Looking at Reina’s choice, the Liverpool fans were filled with hatred. Damn coward, how could this ball not be thrown out? Are you going to just sit there and wait to die?
Reina’s goal-line skills were indeed formidable, but his attack was a huge weakness.
Joaquin easily arrived at the front of the Liverpool box, and at this time Reina was moving sideways to the right of the goal to expand the defensive area.
Watching Reina’s position, Joaquin slowed down his pace. He suddenly tilted his body slightly, waved his left leg, and shot the soccer hoop towards the lower left corner of the goal.
The ball immediately drew a beautiful arc, bypassing Reina who was flying sideways and swiftly spinning towards the lower left corner of the goal.
“Beautiful, Joaquin’s beautiful goal … Oh, my God, this goal didn’t go in …” Eddie Gray immediately put his hands on his head and roared in disbelief.
Clang! The football smashed into the outside of the left post of the goal and directly popped out of the bottom line.
All the Leeds United fans in the Wembley Stadium were dumbfounded and could not make a sound. All of them stood there dumbfounded, staring at the stadium with disbelief on their faces. Then, they all let out a collective sigh of disappointment!
Holy shit, you’re not even scoring?
