The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 521
521 An Unfathomable Fellow
Leeds United beat Hamburg 2-0 on the road and Zhong Cheng won his first Champions League game of his career. This was a good start.
Zhong Cheng had been in control of the situation from the start, showing maturity and sophistication that did not match his age, which made Thomas Dole shake his head endlessly.
Thomas Dole said of Zhong Cheng at a post-match press conference: “It’s hard to imagine that he would be so mature.” His understanding and control of the game is better than mine and I can understand why he won the Premier League and UEFA Cup last year. In the past, I didn’t believe that there were geniuses in this world, but today, I do. Madman Loria was a genius. “Young genius, a fellow that makes people jealous!”
Obviously, this was not Thomas Dole’s support. This was the truth in his heart.
Of course, Thomas Dole didn’t lose this match to Zhong Cheng. He said: “I underestimated Madman Loria and Leeds United in this game, which is why it ended like this. You can rest assured that you will see another outcome in the next round! Madman Loria is great, but I’m not bad either. I believe our second round will be very exciting!”
Thomas Dole was obviously unconvinced, he was preparing to get back on track in the second leg.
Hamburg player Guerrero also said after the game: “This is a very awkward game, as if from the beginning, we were led by the nose, we did not take a step forward is very difficult, we seem to have a lot of opportunities, but in fact fell into each other’s trap.” “It has to be said that our opponent’s tactics are much better than ours. Just like our leader said, we underestimated our opponent. Losing this match is reasonable. Leeds United are even stronger than everyone imagined. This is a very difficult opponent!”
Although Guerrero did not praise Zhong Cheng explicitly, the meaning behind each sentence was to praise Zhong Cheng.
It could be seen that Guerrero respected Zhong Cheng very much!
Could it be that before the game, Zhong Cheng had mentioned that Guerrero was the only player worthy of attention in the Hamburg team formation, and that they were flattering each other?
In any case, the Hamburgers were shocked to see how powerful Leeds United were. The Hamburg players were a little confused. They really didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to be so powerful at such a young age. It seems that Leeds United’s success was not accidental!
Meanwhile, Leeds United fans are screaming with excitement as they prepare to go wild in the Champions League this season.
A German celebrity commented on Zhong Cheng: “This is a shocking young coach. He was in full control of the game against Hamburg. Every step he took was a trap for Thomas Dole, but Thomas Dole did not realize that he was really amazing.” “What is even more shocking is that he is not even thirty years old. This is truly a genius, a rare genius!”
He added: “The Leeds United team is almost entirely new and it’s a miracle that a team under the age of 21 is able to do that.” It can be seen that Madman Loria is good at coaching young players. Perhaps in the future, Leeds United will maintain this style, so other rich clubs will have a chance. “Because these young geniuses of the Leeds United team will grow up sooner or later. If they don’t say that they are 27 or 28 years old, they will return to leave the Leeds United Youth Guards. At that time, the rich clubs will be able to take these stars into their possession!”
The celebrity continued to praise Zhong Cheng in the end, saying: “This is a head coach who is very good at discovering and nurturing young people. I hope that he can come to Germany a few more times and bring a few young German geniuses to Leeds United. This way, Germany in the future will be very powerful!”
Yes, Germany is now vigorously developing youth soccer, and in the next few years, there will definitely be a burst of young talents in German soccer.
In any case, Leeds United’s trip to Hamburg, Germany, was greeted with a large number of compliments. Especially Zhong Cheng, who convinced many Germans.
However, the Hamburgers had also said that they would definitely avenge and kill Leeds United when they arrived at their home ground.
–Division Line–
After the match, Zhong Cheng naturally also gave interviews to media reporters.
Zhong Cheng said to the camera: “This match was relatively easy because our opponent underestimated us. It made it easier for us to play. Of course, we won this match, but our performance was not good, really not good!”
German media reporters curled their lips. Oh my God, does this guy want to belittle German football?
Is that what Zhong Cheng meant? Really not!
Zhong Cheng said: “From the beginning of the new season until now, our players have not recovered to their best condition. The strength they have displayed is only 60-70 of last season. I hope they can find their peak condition as soon as possible so that we can make a bigger difference in the new season!”
The hamburgers are unhappy to hear this. This is only 60-70% of their strength. If it was 100% of their strength, wouldn’t our hamburger team be beaten to a pulp?
Ai, this is really true! Because in the second leg, Leeds United’s condition was very good, sweeping Hamburg at home, making Hamburg fans stunned.
Of course, these are the last words, let us express them in the future!
Hamburg fans naturally did not believe it at this moment. They thought that Zhong Cheng was a bit overconfident now, or that this young man Zhong Cheng had already floated to the sky.
Hamburg fans all despised Zhong Cheng, this arrogant fanatic!
Zhong Cheng added: “Yes, I am still the same view. The only outstanding player in this Hamburg team is Guerrero. His strength is not bad, and he also has very good potential.” But I don’t think he’s fit for Bayern Munich. There are too many good strikers in Bayern Munich. After his return, he won’t have much space. What he needs now is a game. If he returns to Bayern Munich and sits on the bench, he will pay his dues very soon!
German media reporters frowned slightly. Some of them felt that Zhong Cheng was right, while others felt that Zhong Cheng’s words were a bit alarmist.
Zhong Cheng ignored the reactions of the media reporters and continued, “Ah! You mean let Guerrero come to us? Hiss, I haven’t thought about that yet. Yes, Guerrero is amazing, but our club no longer lacks strikers!”
Well, these reporters were also digging a hole for Zhong Cheng. They were now focusing on Tevez and Edison Cavani.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said: “Yes, the performance of these two people is not convincing, they did not score in these previous matches.” However, I still have to say that the potential of both of them is enormous, and their current strength is also very good. “It ‘s just that they haven’ t integrated into the atmosphere of the premier league yet and I believe it won ‘t be long before their performance will surprise everyone”
It was clear that the reporters still did not believe Zhong Cheng’s words, which Zhong Cheng had said many times. However, the performance of these two people was as bad as ever, especially Tevez.
“Yes, with these two, our club doesn’t need strikers, so Guerrero is good, but he doesn’t have much chance to come to our club. For Guerrero, who is in desperate need of a chance to play, coming to Leeds United is no different from returning to Bayern Munich,” said Zhong Cheng.
Hearing this, the media reporters on the scene all raised their middle fingers towards Zhong Cheng in their hearts.
This damn Zhong Chengzhen is too shameless. He actually compared Leeds United to a rich family like Bayern Munich. Is this guy Madman Loria crazy, actually so arrogant, or is this guy mocking the Bayern Munich team?
In any case, the German media reporters did not have a good impression of Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng did not care about this either. He continued, “I am very happy and happy to have won my first Champions League match. Don’t worry, our Leeds United team will continue to win. We have great revenge this season!”
The media reporters screamed loudly, asking Zhong Cheng to explain what Leeds United’s grand revenge was.
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Do you really want to know now?”
Seeing the reporters nodding their heads like garlic, Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Hehe, I won’t tell you!”
Only then did the media reporters realize that they had been tricked, and their faces were not very good-looking.
However, after a while, they felt that it was very funny. Zhong Cheng actually had such a side to him. It was precisely because of this that the media reporters truly felt that Zhong Cheng was a young man, not a 45-year-old middle-aged uncle.
Yes, Zhong Cheng’s previous performance gave off the impression that he was a very mature and experienced middle-aged uncle. He didn’t want to be a young man in his twenties at all. However, seeing Zhong Cheng’s naughty and eccentric side now made everyone believe that this fellow was a young man in his twenties.
Zhong Cheng finally said: “Although this match we are in control of the overall situation, we have also won this match.” But I still want to say that Hamburg is a very strong team and they did very well today. Mr. Thomas Dole is a very good coach. The reason he lost was because his lineup was not as strong as our Leeds United team. If we give him a stronger team, we can still compete with each other. Mr. Thomas Dole will definitely go all out in the second leg of our match. I think it will be a very tragic match. But we are looking forward to it, and I hope Mr. Thomas Dole will not disappoint me! ”
The reporters applauded in succession. Zhong Cheng was sometimes very annoying and sometimes very cute. He was a very unfathomable fellow.
