The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 520
520 Did God Send You Here to Mess with Me
Leeds United put on a defensive posture. After all, this was Hamburg’s home court. They would definitely attack heavily. Right now, they were only probing. After they probed for a while, they were about to launch a fierce attack.
Zhong Cheng’s intentions were obvious, and that was to use the tactics they were most familiar with to easily kill their opponent.
Hamburg probed for nearly seven or eight minutes, but the Leeds United players didn’t take any moves and stood behind them to defend. Hamburg players frowned. This was not the way to go. Many Hamburg players turned to look at coach Thomas Dole on the sidelines.
Thomas Dole saw Leeds United’s performance and knew what they were up to!
Thomas Dole has studied a lot of Leeds United videos and he knows the Leeds game better. Evidently, Zhong Cheng meant for you to attack, and they were waiting for a counterattack.
This intention was obvious, there was no need to guess!
These seven or eight minutes of probing didn’t seem to be of much use. They couldn’t test the depth of Leeds United, so the Hamburg players on the pitch were at a loss as to what to do. They all turned their heads to look at Thomas Dole on the sidelines.
Thomas Dole felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this.
Looks like Leeds United are stronger than he imagined. Otherwise, how could their Hamburg team not be able to test the depth of Leeds United? This meant that Leeds United were stronger than their Hamburg team!
What should we do?
Attack or not?
Attack, Thomas Dole may not be confident of winning against United. If he didn’t attack, would he have to draw at home? Or should we retreat first and lure Leeds United out before pushing them out to fight Leeds United?
To be honest, Thomas Dole prefers to play against Leeds United.
Because Leeds United’s strongest counterattack was their defensive counterattack, their positional attacks weren’t very powerful. Once Leeds United attack, their defense will not be so tight, the defensive line will appear loopholes, so their Hamburg team’s opportunity.
So, after pondering for a while, Thomas Dole made his decision immediately. He waved his hand and signaled the Hamburg players to suppress the tempo. The lineup retreated back and forth. Don’t attack so fiercely. Turn to the defensive value and let the Leeds United attack out.
The Hamburg players were all stunned. They were all waiting for the horn to sound. Why did his attitude turn 180 degrees in such a short time? Why did he stop attacking and directly retreat?
However, although they were puzzled, the Hamburg players still followed the orders of the head coach. The Hamburg team retreated. This time, the competition was very dull.
Seeing this, the Hamburg fans were very unhappy. This is our home court!
Rogers was also slightly shocked. He immediately turned to Zhong Cheng and asked, “What are the Hamburgers doing? This is their home court?”
Zhong Cheng glanced at Thomas Dole and chuckled, “This is where Thomas Dole is brilliant!”
Rogers frowned slightly and asked, “What do you mean?”
Zhong Cheng said: “He is not confident in breaking through our defense and is afraid of our counterattack. He retracted to lure us out. He must think that our position is not good enough to attack. We won’t be able to threaten their goal and instead reveal the gap in the backcourt so that their Hamburg team will have a chance, won’t we?”
Rogers nodded slightly. He had thought of these things.
Zhong Cheng said: “To be able to make such a decisive change at home, this Thomas Dole still has some courage and ability. However, even so, he still lost against Leeds United today!”
The current Leeds United team was very different from the previous Leeds United team. Now, the Leeds United team’s offensive position was also very formidable. Looks like Thomas Dole is going to lift a rock and smash himself in the foot today!
Rogers snorted coldly, “This Thomas Dole looks at people with the same old eyes. I don’t think he’s that smart. Their Hamburg team is sure to lose this match!”
At this moment, Zhong Cheng stood up and came to the side of the field. He waved his hand and signaled for the Leeds United players to attack.
On the other side, Thomas Dole saw Zhong Cheng’s actions and smiled. “Indeed, he is still young. I can’t help it. Haha, Madman Loria, your Waterloo is coming!”
Thomas Dole immediately made a concealed gesture, signaling to the Hamburg players on the pitch to be ready to attack. Our chance is coming soon.
The Hamburg players on the pitch understood what was going on and became serious as they waited for the opportunity to attack. At this moment, the Hamburg players were very excited. Finally, they were going to come out of the cage. They wanted to teach these damn arrogant Leeds United a lesson.
At this moment, the Leeds United players shot out ten thousand arrows in an instant. This shocked the Hamburg fans because the Leeds United offensive momentum was really too ferocious.
Looking at this, Leeds United’s attack seemed to be a bit like the Dutch national team’s full attack, and all of a sudden, the attack seemed to have rushed forward.
Madavikia immediately pounced on Joaquin. Joaquin casually passed the football horizontally. The football rolled under Modric’s feet. Modric faced the tall Marcus Karl in front of him. He swayed his body back and forth as if he was looking for a breakthrough space.
Marcus Carr was dispatched back and forth by Modric. Just as he was about to rush out and steal the ball, Modric, who had already planned to gently push the ball forward, went straight to his crotch and rolled behind Marcus Carr.
Modric dodged the defense with a beautiful dodge and caught up to the football.
Suddenly, he pulled the ball, stepped on it, and turned around Marseille, dodging Raphael Wikipedia, who was pouncing from the side. Then Modric pretended to swing his leg and shoved the football to the side.
It was because, as Zhong Cheng had guessed, the Hamburgers had released the winger, which was to entice Leeds United to cross from the winger. They seem to have a lot of confidence in their ability to defend against high-altitude balls in the middle, even with Luca Tony around.
The Hamburg defenders immediately tightened their grip on the centre, leaving a gap in the ribs.
However, at this time, Modric did not push the football to the side, even though Joaquin had already reached his position. But at this time, Modric came unexpectedly and directly kicked the ball in the opposite direction, pushing the ball to the other side of the rib.
All the Hamburg fans screamed in horror, “Holy shit, it’s dangerous!”
There was also a big gap in the ribs, and the Hamburg defenders didn’t expect Modric to see it. Because at that time, Modric’s line of sight was somewhat obstructed. He was slightly sideways, and the Hamburg players were all scared out of their wits.
At this moment, Darren Bent had already rushed towards the rib and chased after the football.
Hamburg centre-back Reinhart was so shocked that he immediately turned around and threw himself at Darren Bent. However, he was tall and old. He turned around like a super heavy truck. He was very heavy.
Darren Bent had caught up to the football and was ready to shoot when he turned around and rushed over.
Feeling Reinhart pouncing over, Darren Bent swung his right leg sideways and rolled past Reinhart.
Reinhart couldn’t stop the car and even Hamburg goalkeeper Kish Stein was shaken.
Darren Bent took small steps and caught up with the football. He immediately swung his leg and shot. With a bang, the football flew towards the goal of the Hamburg team.
Kish Stein did his best to save but failed to block the ball, which flew into Hamburg’s goal. The entire People’s Park stadium was deathly silent, and Hamburg fans were stunned by the sight.
Thomas Dole was also stunned, and his mind was filled with regret.
He had underestimated Leeds United. Leeds United was no longer the Leeds United they used to be. These lines of attacks were really good and surprising.
Thomas Dole suddenly felt that this match was really unlucky.
After that, the hamburgers put down their baggage and attacked crazily. They knew that at this time, they had nothing to consider. They were attacking and fighting with Leeds.
Leeds United began to retreat, putting on a defensive counterattack posture. This made the hamburgers very angry. The damn Leeds United were actually so scary, damn trash.
Thomas Dole, on the other hand, was extremely helpless. Leeds United’s display was simply a rogue tactic.
Thomas Dole had no choice but to let the Hamburg players begin their journey. All of his previous calculations were a failure, completely led by Zhong Cheng’s nose. He suddenly felt that Zhong Cheng deserved to win the UEFA Cup.
How could this fellow have such experience and reaction at such a young age? What a freak!
Hamburg’s offense has picked up, and the best player today was Iranian player Madavikia, who sent out excellent crosses from the wings on several occasions. However, the football was pushed out by Leeds United centre-back Kompani, who was the anchor of the defence.
Thomas Dole was speechless again, accompanied by hatred.
It was because Kompani was also a player he had his eyes on. He had originally planned to bring Kompani here in the summer, but who would have thought that he would be beaten by Zhong Cheng on the peninsula? Looking at Kompani’s performance, he really regretted it. He regretted not taking action earlier. Otherwise, Kompani would be his player.
Damn Madman Loria, it’s all this damn guy.
Thomas Dole hated Zhong Cheng to death.
However, in the twenty-first minute of the second half, Zhong Cheng stabbed Thomas Dole in the chest. After the counterattack, Leeds United took more wings. This time, Modric sent the football directly to Joaquin’s feet.
Hua Jin did not bring the ball forward, but instead suddenly tilted forty-five degrees to pass the ball directly to the back point.
Both Artuba and Reinhart, who were at the front, pounced on Luca Tony crazily, demonstrating their superb air defense capabilities. Who knew that Luca Toni was just a cover this time? All three of the tall players in front of him had fallen to the top and the football flew backwards.
Darren Bent rushed up from behind. A domineering fish jump rushed up. His entire body was in the air, and his forehead smashed into the football. The football flew into Hamburg’s goal like a loaded cannonball.
Hamburg goalkeeper Kish Stein had no choice but to fly in front of him.
Seeing this, Thomas Dole suddenly felt a pain in his chest. It was very painful.
Damn it, Madman Loria. Are you fucking sent by God to deal with me? Every tactic he made that he thought was very powerful was ruthlessly disintegrated by Zhong Cheng, as if he was a primary school student in front of Zhong Cheng.
Thomas Dole, hate!
