The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 487
487 Zhong Cheng Was Really Strong
The entire Wembley Stadium was deathly silent!
No one expected the result of the match to be like this!
Throughout the game, Leeds United’s form was problematic, and almost no one expected Leeds United to win. However, it was in this extremely unfavorable situation that Leeds United had miraculously won this match.
Now the Leeds United fans are not reacting. Did they really win this game?
Moreover, the way he won was a bit strange.
In the penalty shootout, the Liverpool players did not serve a single goal and missed all three of the shootouts. It was so rare that the Liverpool fans did not react at this time.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was also stunned on the sidelines.
Benitez didn’t expect the game to end like this?
The Liverpool team had an absolute advantage, but he seemed to be trying to tear it apart. In fact, he was always being led by the nose by Zhong Cheng, so they lost the match in the end.
Of course, the truth was that they had lost because of Zhong Zheng.
Zhong Zheng’s match was simply divine.
“Oh my God, we won. The disadvantaged Leeds United won the game. They beat Liverpool on penalty shootouts with goalkeeper Aldridge and two consecutive divine servants. What was shocking was that Liverpool didn’t score a goal in the three penalty shootouts. Liverpool lost badly!” Mark Lawrenson took a deep breath and said.
“Aldrich is famous in one match! Aldrich is really famous in one match. Let’s congratulate Aldrich. Today, he let us see a superstar rise up here. His actions show that he is the strongest goalkeeper in England right now. The new England team will definitely become the first goalkeeper in England!” Andy Gray roared excitedly.
Now, the Leeds United fans were shouting excitedly, shouting Zhong Zheng’s name loudly. At this moment, there was only one hero in their hearts, and that was Zhong Zheng: “Aldrich! Great Gate God Aldrich, Saint Aldrich! You are the greatest Gate God, perfect!”
The entire Wembley Stadium has become a haven of joy for Leeds United and a sea of sadness for Liverpool.
Rafael Benitez’s expression was extremely ugly. He was unconvinced by his defeat in this match. They should have won this match. Unfortunately, he had underestimated his enemies and underestimated Zhong Cheng. He was punished.
Of course, Benitez’s eyes were all on Zhong Zheng. In this match, they had lost to one person, and that was Zhong Zheng.
In the usual time, Zhong Zheng had saved many of their soccer goals. If it weren’t for Zhong Zheng, the game wouldn’t have been a penalty shoot-out. If it weren’t for Zhong Zheng, their Liverpool team would have won the game long ago.
Damn bell proof.
At this time, Benitez was a little regretful.
He regretted bringing in Scott Carson, not Zhong Zheng. If he had brought Zhong Zheng to Liverpool, what would have happened in this game?
The thought of Scott Carson infuriated Benitez. They had originally brought in Scott Carson as a regular goalkeeper. But in the end, Scott Carson did not even compete with Pepe Reina and is now on the verge of becoming Liverpool’s third goalkeeper.
This person was more frightening than anyone else. Scott Carson was not even worthy to carry Zhong Zheng’s shoes. If I had known earlier, I would have introduced Zhong Zheng. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world!
There was nothing they could do. They lost the match.
The Liverpool man can afford to lose and the Community Shield is not that important. Most importantly, they have measured the strength and weight of Leeds United for the new season.
Benitez believes Leeds United have no chance of defending their title this season. Now the whole Premier League team is studying Leeds United, they have already done a thorough study of his mother. Besides Luca Tony and Joaquin, Leeds United’s new season is nothing but rubbish. It is impossible for them to help Leeds United. How will Leeds United fight against the Premier League’s heroes this season?
Although the game lost a lot of regret, but, this will not affect their plans for next season and judgement.
Leeds United won this game because of luck and contempt.
To tell the truth, Benitez really underestimated Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng’s tactics in this match might not be that advanced, nor was it that complicated or difficult. However, Zhong Cheng’s temporary adjustment was very timely and perfect. This guy won the Premier League last season was definitely not luck.
This fellow Zhong Cheng possessed a certain amount of strength, and he was also very strong.
Benitez said at a post-match press conference: “We lost this game carelessly and we underestimated Leeds United.” He underestimated Roja, especially Roja. “This fellow is a very good coach. The adjustments he made in this match were extremely timely. Although the adjustments seemed to be very simple, the unexpected effects were very ideal. It made people unable to guess his thoughts and made people feel powerful. This fellow really has a trick!”
The reporters below sucked in a breath of cold air. They did not expect Benitez to give Zhong Cheng such a high evaluation? How could they spit on Zhong Cheng after the match?
These media reporters were speechless, very speechless.
The reporters couldn’t help but glance at Benitez. Was this guy really crazy? Or was he really convinced by Zhong Cheng?
Benitez added: “However, Roja is a bit blind this season. Without the magic of last season, Roja is useless without Tony and Joaquin. Roja’s vision is not on scouts, so there is no need to brag about him!”
Many media reporters applauded in succession. This was correct. That fellow Zhong Cheng’s eyes were completely blown out. He didn’t have any real strength at all.
However, Benitez added: “But with Roja’s strength, they won’t be able to avoid the Premier League title this season, but their relegation is not a big problem. So this season, the level of Leeds United should be in the middle and lower reaches!”
The media reporters were a little unhappy again. Fucking Leeds United was the favourite to be relegated, alright? Do teams like them, who created a super miracle last season, get attention just because they are demoted to the next season? Only then did they have more topics to hype up!
Rafael Benitez ignored them and went on to talk about Zhong Zheng, saying: “Of course Liverpool lost this game to Aldridge alone.” He was one of the best performers today. He was the one who decided the direction and outcome of this match. He was the only one to watch this match. Aldrich was really unbeatable like God today. He was too strong. Today, Aldrich really became famous in one battle. I also think he is the best goalkeeper in English football and he is the best choice for England’s number one goal!
Rafael Benitez concluded: “We are only one away from a regular goalkeeper at Leeds United and we raised Aldridge well. We will make an offer to Leeds United as soon as possible and we hope to bring Aldridge to Liverpool. I am sure he will be willing to come!”
The reporters gasped. They could tell that Benitez did not want to joke. Could it be true?
The media reporters wanted to ask more questions to see if this was true. But at this moment, Benitez had already stood up and left.
After the game, Zhong Cheng really received a bid from Liverpool. Their target was Zhong Zheng. And Rafa Benitez is offering £ 12 m for Zhong Zheng. In this era, a goalkeeper can be worth £ 12 m. That’s a really, really high price.
If the media fans knew that Rafa Benitez wanted to buy a goalkeeper for £ 12 m, everyone would think Benitez was crazy.
However, this happened today and Benitez made an offer to Leeds United. What made everyone crazy was that Zhong Cheng directly rejected the Liverpool offer, treating the 12 million pounds as nothing, and even thought that this was an insulting offer from the Liverpool people.
In Zhong Cheng’s opinion, Zhong Zheng’s current worth was at least 30 million yuan, about the same price as Huntelaar’s, because his role in the team was similar to Huntelaar’s, or even more important.
However, it was clear that at this moment, no fool was willing to spend so much money to bring in a goalkeeper. Actually, even if there was one, Zhong Cheng would not sell it. Zhong Zheng is not for sale for Leeds United, is the symbol of Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng wanted to make Zhong Zheng the legendary superstar of Leeds United, the symbol of Leeds United, the embodiment of Leeds United’s will.
Zhong Cheng rejected Liverpool’s offer but soon received a call from Rafa Benitez. Benitez said: “Roja, tell me, how much do you want for Aldrich?”
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “You can’t afford it, so don’t ask!”
Rafael Benitez’s expression changed and he said, “Look down on me? Tell me, how much can it cost? Our Liverpool team will definitely not disappoint you!”
Zhong Cheng smiled again and said, “Do you think anybody is willing to spend 30 million pounds on a goalkeeper now? Obviously not, so you don’t have to worry about it. Aldrich, you can’t buy one!”
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Benitez was also shocked.
What? 30 million pounds! D*mn, this guy Madman Loria is indeed a lunatic. Right now, a good striker is not worth such a high price. You want 30 million as a goalkeeper. Are you crazy about money?
At this moment, Zhong Chengshi continued, “Furthermore, even if you are willing to pay £ 30 million for Aldrich, we will not sell him. He is not for sale for our Leeds United team, so you don’t need to worry about him now. Your Liverpool team has no fate with Aldrich!”
Zhong Cheng had already said this, how could Benitez not understand?
It could be seen that Zhong Cheng really did not have the intention to sell the Zhong Zheng. Since Zhong Cheng and Zhong Zheng were two brothers and Leeds United were Zhong Cheng’s, Zhong Zheng would not leave Leeds United if Zhong Zheng did not speak.
Therefore, although Benitez is very optimistic about Zhong Zheng, but he had to give up Zhong Zheng.
Benitez is distressed to give up on Zhong Zheng, he believes that Zhong Zheng is the best choice for Liverpool’s main goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Benitez could not do anything about it. He could only straighten Pepe Reina out and become Liverpool’s first-team goalkeeper.
However, in this match, Reina’s weakness was undoubtedly exposed, that is, his ability to attack and timing was very poor, his advantage is the goal line rescue. This is a player whose strengths and weaknesses are striking and it is difficult for Rafa Benitez to make good use of him.
