The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 528
528 Leeds United Are Not Easy to Lead!
Zhong Cheng sat on the grandstand, his brows furrowed.
In this match, the Leeds United players were still not in good condition. It seemed that last season had consumed too much of the Leeds United players’ attention, resulting in this season’s weakness.
The Leeds United defence now seems to be in a good position, but it is actually very lax.
Reading are not very strong offensively now, but they can find the opportunity to shoot to threaten Leeds United, which is really dangerous for Leeds United.
DiMatteo was still unable to mobilize the enthusiasm of the Leeds United players. They played awkwardly in the game, which was why they were so conflicted.
Pique said: “It doesn’t feel good. Our players don’t seem to be in shape yet!”
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, this has always been a problem this season. From the beginning of the season, their condition has been very bad. To be able to get the current results in such a state is already very good.”
Pique nodded. He had watched Leeds United’s game this season on TV. He also saw the problem with Leeds United, but he didn’t see it clearly on TV, nor did he have a deeper and more direct understanding of it.
Previously, watching TV wasn’t as bad as it is now. Or perhaps it was Zhong Cheng who was leading the team before, so the players of Leeds United were brought closer by Zhong Cheng and they had to perform better. Looks like Leeds United’s defensive line is really loose and can’t be tightened.
This is a very dangerous thing, if it were a team like Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea who have good offense, Leeds United would have long conceded the goal.
Pique also realizes that this season has been many times harder than last.
At this moment, DiMatteo stood up again. This time, she came to the side and shouted, “Tighter back line, more active. Run more, more pressure, show our aggressiveness. Right, right, ruthless!”
At the very least, Special Olympics could only do this. The players on the field had to adjust themselves. He could only point out where the problem lay and let the Leeds United players overcome it by themselves.
The Leeds United players heard Dimatteo’s shout. They were slowly closing their defensive lines, and it was even more positive for them to get close. However, the result was not ideal. Reading still had a lot of chances. Fortunately, Leeds United were very lucky today. At the end of the first half, Leeds United did not concede the ball and ended the first half 0-0.
At this moment, DiMatteo sighed. This match was really hard to play.
DiMatteo walked back to the dressing room with no head and no idea what had happened in the dressing room. The Leeds United players’ defense was tighter in the second half and they did well.
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly in the stands. DiMatteo did a good job. It could be seen that DiMatteo was very strong. He made good use of the half-time break. It seemed that there was still room to play in the second half.
However, at this time, Leeds United’s bad luck had arrived.
In the second half, Leeds United’s performance had just improved, and Reading relied on a very lucky chance to send the football into Leeds United’s goal. This caught the Leeds United players off guard. They were all stunned.
None of the Leeds United players had expected the game to go like this!
DiMatteo was a little dumbfounded standing on the sidelines. How could this match be like this? Their Leeds United team had just regained some form and the game was progressing in a better and better direction. But now? The competition actually turned out like this.
Reading scored with a long-range shot. The Reading man was very reluctant and his strength was not the best. However, the football changed directions twice halfway through and flew straight into the gate guarded by Zhong Cheng.
This luck was truly heaven-defying. DiMatteo really wanted to cry without tears.
In this match, Leeds United lost 1-0 to Reading at home because of this tragic goal, ushering in two consecutive Premier League defeats this season.
DiMatteo was truly speechless. He finally got the chance to coach. He actually ended up like this. DiMatteo truly felt a little embarrassed to see Elder Jiang Dong.
Zhong Chengshi patted Dimatteo’s shoulder and said, “It’s fine. You did well today, especially when you adjusted during the break. The only thing we lost today was luck. If it wasn’t for that luck ball, the result would have been hard to say.”
DiMatteo naturally knew that Zhong Cheng was comforting him. However, he also thought that Zhong Cheng was right. If it wasn’t for that luck ball, the result of this match would really be unknown.
In fact, at this time, DiMateo had forgotten about the first half.
In the first half, Leeds United were very passive. If it wasn’t for their good luck, Leeds United would have conceded at least two goals in the first half. Therefore, the overall performance of Leeds United in this match was not very good. In fact, it was only natural for Leeds United to lose.
“Although we lost to luck in this game, I have to say that Reading did a great job today,” DiMatteo told a post-match press conference. Leeds United are still not in good shape and our boss has said that this season will be a very, very difficult one, and now I am experiencing it!
The media reporters nodded their heads, and DiMatteo was very honest.
DiMatteo said: “The result of this match also taught me how powerful our boss is. Only he is suitable for the current Leeds United team and only he can lead the current Leeds United team to have that kind of unexpected thought.” “There ‘s still a lot of distance between me and our boss. I hope to learn more from him. I believe leeds united’ s future will be very, very good!
Yes, at this moment, DiMatteo forcefully praised Zhong Cheng again.
Dimateo added: “My task has not been completed yet. There is still one game left in our boss’s suspension. I have to play another game in this position. At this time, I hope that I can win the last game so that when I return the team to our boss, I will not feel so guilty.”
Yes, I do feel very guilty now.
When Zhong Cheng handed the Leeds United team over to DiMatteo, the Leeds United team’s result was three wins, two draws, and undefeated. But now, the team’s result is three lives, two draws, two losses. Taking over two matches, losing two matches, is really fatal.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, it is very difficult for DiMateo to win. But DiMatteo is confident that he has the chance to recuperate as the Premier League enters a short break after the game and the International Day of Matches is up again.
The good news is that DiMatteo has nearly two weeks to prepare: the bad news is that the main players are leaving for the national team to report for the national team, so the FIFA virus should affect Leeds United’s performance in the future.
Therefore, Dimatteo was very confident in his heart, while he was a little nervous.
This time around, Leeds United have more international players, including Zhong Zheng, Aver La, Gareth Bale, Vermaelen, Compani, Sagna, Mascherano, Joaquin, Ribery, Modric, Olic, Luca Tony, Shao Jiayi and Gary Kelly.
This was almost like walking through the entire main force lineup with a few main force substitutes. Leeds United had really become a super international player now.
Seeing that the team had left so many people, DiMatteo’s heart went cold. There were really too few people left in the training base now. How could he train?
At this time, Zhong Cheng went to the youth team to bring Azar, Lukaku, Borgba, Debraune, Kurtuva and Danny Ross to the first-team to train and let these kids feel the atmosphere of the first-team.
Azar and the others were naturally very excited and excited. This was the first team of Leeds United.
During this period, Nai Smith and DiMatteo led them in training. Zhong Cheng did not stay at the Leeds United training base for some things.
Yes, Zhong Cheng went to “shoot advertisements” again!
Julia Olivera’s little mouth was so curled up that she was about to hang up the tug, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
The advertisement Zhong Cheng went to shoot this time was no longer a print advertisement, but a video advertisement. The product he shot this time was still Zhong Cheng Suit. After shooting this advertisement, Zhong Cheng went to Zhong Cheng Electric Appliances to take a look. Now, Zhong Cheng Electric Appliances was developing very quickly, becoming a part of the razor industry. Zhong Cheng Electrical Appliances’ other electrical appliances are also very good, seizing a lot of markets.
Right now, Zhong Cheng’s career was flourishing day by day, and the old hour’s career was also flourishing day by day.
The old man’s “Bell Restaurant” had already reached six local chains in Leeds United. Then, the “Bell Restaurant” spread to other areas. Now, it had branches in Manchester, London, Liverpool and other places, becoming a national catering chain. You’ve done a great job.
Therefore, the old hour and Amelia George were very busy recently, while Zhong Yao and Zhong Yan, the two little devils, were neglectful and often caused trouble for Zhong Cheng.
Right now, Zhong Yan is training in the Leeds United Junior Team. This guy’s talent is really good. The youth coaches of Leeds United were very optimistic about Zhong Yan. Although Zhong Yan was small, he inherited the good physical fitness of his two brothers, Zhong Cheng and Zhong Zheng. The current Zhong Yan was standing beside her peers. She was clearly a head taller than her peers. She was simply the eldest brother of her peers.
Moreover, Zhong Yan often went to the youth team to play with Azar, Bogba, and Lukaku, which seemed to have a leapfrogging meaning.
However, Zhong Yan’s talent was really strong. Even if he leaped over, he still had outstanding performance.
These Leeds United youth coaches were all speechless. The Zhong family were all freaks. They actually had such good talent. They were simply envious of countless people.
Of course, there was no Zhong Yan on the first-team training list this time. Zhong Yan was still too young. There was really no need to come to the first-team.
However, Lukakubogba and the others could come to the first team to experience the atmosphere. Especially Lukaku and Bogba. Their physical condition was that they would often leap over the ranks. They were still able to perform very well beside youngsters who were older than them.
The young coaches of Leeds United were truly amazed that Zhong Cheng’s vision wasn’t bad. Looking at the geniuses of the Leeds United Youth Training Camp, they knew that Zhong Cheng was the one who had brought these people over.
