The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 545
545 If I Can, I’m Going to Hollow Out Leeds!
At the start of the game, Leeds United had a very good chance.
Edison Cavani’s shooting was very sharp, but Jens Lehmann’s reaction was even faster. Seeing the football about to go through his crotch, he actually sat down on the football, which could be called a miracle.
“Wow, I was just a little bit close. Lehman’s reaction was too fast. Edison Cavani has already done very well this time. Unfortunately, his luck is a little bad.” Eddie Gray was very depressed. If the goal was scored, Mark Lawrenson would shave his head.
Arsène Wenge’s eyebrows furrowed. This match was a bit off-camera from the start.
Arsène Wenge immediately walked to the edge of the field and shouted loudly at the pitch, “Watch the wings and the backcourt. Don’t let them get up and cross easily, you know?”
Arsène Wenge’s expression was very serious. As he had guessed, Leeds United’s attack was so simple, crude and straightforward. Just look for Luca Toni at the front, their defensive line is not high enough.
However, there was nothing they could do. Who told their high-backs to be injured?
At this point, Arsène Wenge came up with the idea of buying a tall centre-back. Suddenly, he turned to look at the Leeds United bench, where Ivanovic and Gary Cahill were seated. These guys were tall enough.
Especially since Leeds United still have a Pique, and now Arsène Wenge wants Pique more than anything else.
Arsène Wenge suddenly turned to ask his assistant Pat Rice, “Do you think we have a good chance of getting Pique in the winter?”
Pat Rice frowned slightly and said, “Boss, Pique has been injured for almost half a season. Even if he recovers immediately, who knows how he’s doing and how well he’s recovering?”
That’s what Arsène Wenge has been worried about, otherwise he would have frantically attacked Leeds United and taken Pique in the summer transfer window.
Arsène Wenge nodded and said, “Yeah, who knows how Pick is?”
Pat Rice said: “But boss, I think Leeds United’s Vermaelen is good. If we can we can bring him in!”
Arsène Wenge immediately turned his head and looked at the field, frowning slightly.
Arsène Wenge said: “This guy is not bad, but his height is also a hard injury, although the air defense ability is not bad. But to spray Luca Tony, he has no choice. Even Chelsea’s Drogba can not!”
Pat Rice smiled bitterly and said, “I say, boss, how many people in this world can defend against Luca Tony and Drogba? Vermaelen is not bad!”
Arsène Wenge thought Pat Rice made some sense. However, he is still not optimistic about Vermaelen, Arsène Wenge said: “The introduction of Vermaelen, it is better to introduce Gary Cahill, this guy is better than Vermaelen!”
Pat Rice frowned slightly. He didn’t think Gary Cahill was better than Virginia Mullen. But he trusted his boss’s vision and nodded, “Well, it would be nice if we could bring in Gary Cahill!”
Arsène Wenge shook his head again and said: “Actually, if we can bring him in, it would be better to bring in Compani. This guy is the top centre-back of the future.”
Pete Rice frowned slightly, somewhat confused, “I say, boss, who do you have your eyes on?”
Arsène Wenge smiled bitterly and said, “If I were to say Leeds United’s centre-back, I would have taken a fancy to him. Do you believe me?”
Uh …
Pat Rice was choked speechless! However, he believed in Arsène Wenge’s words. It seemed that he had taken a fancy to all the centre-backs of Leeds United, but wasn’t that too greedy?
“Unfortunately, we can’t bring in these people because Arsène Wenge will not sell them. It’s already very, very good that we can take one. Madman Loria Gary should be easier to take than Compani,” said Cahill.
Arsène Wenge could tell that Zhong Cheng was obviously paying more attention to Kompani. If Pique recovers to his previous form, the central defender he plays with will be Compani.
So, at this time, Arsène Wenge feels there is a better chance of bringing in Gary Cahill.
Pat Rice immediately said: “So, after the game, let’s get in touch with Leeds United?”
Arsène Wenge nodded and said, “This matter needs to be done quickly. I think there are still a lot of people watching Leeds United, including the red-nosed old man!”
Pat Rice nodded. News of Manchester United chasing Leeds United players had been circulating and Alex Ferguson’s interest in Leeds United players should be true.
“I know what to do, boss,” Pat Rice said straightforwardly.
At this moment, the wind and clouds on the field suddenly changed.
Arsenal suddenly launched an aggressive attack and Ljungberg, who was on the wing, quickly caught up to Fabregas’ cross ball in the middle and caught the ball near the bottom line.
Ljungberg was just about to pull the ball when Evra slid over and shovelled the ball out of the sidelines. Arsenal got the sidelines.
Arsenal winger Clichy quickly tossed the ball out and the ball flew straight to Ljungberg, who returned the ball to Clichy. Clichy didn’t stop the ball but quickly swept the ball to Fabregas.
As soon as Fabregas caught the ball, he suddenly sent an arc towards Leeds United centre-back Vermaelen. At the same time, Henry, who was in the forbidden area, instantly moved forward and quickly stabbed in front of Virgin Mullen and behind Virgin Mullen.
A reverse run by Henry opened the air and sprinted towards the football.
“Ah! Fabregas’s passing was too accurate. Leeds United are in danger!” Eddie Gray cried out in shock.
The Arsenal team’s offensive coordination this time is very simple, but fast fatal!
This was the direct connection between Fabregas and Henry. This showed the value of Fabregas. That was why he was able to become Arsenal’s main midfielder and captain at such a young age.
Ville Mullen was shocked. He immediately turned around and pounced on Henry.
Vermaelen turned around and chased after him very quickly, but he was unable to catch up with Henry, the king of speed.
Kompani also jumped up from the bevel, but he was still a step too late.
Without waiting for the football to land, Henry swung his leg and shot in the air.
“Henry, shoot from the sky!” Mark Lawrence stood up excitedly and roared excitedly.
With a bang, Henry struck the ball firmly and it shot towards Leeds United’s goal like lightning.
The Leeds United fans gasped in danger.
Zhong Cheng, who was standing in front of the goal, had already prepared for the attack long ago, expanding his defensive area. Seeing Henry shoot in the air, he immediately threw himself to the right and stretched out his palm.
With a slap, Zhong Zheng’s long arm intercepted the football!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Eddie Gray jumped up excitedly, his voice trembling.
Mark Lawrenson shook his head as he stared at this place, his mouth growing wide, but he didn’t know what to say?
Henry stared at Zhong Zheng who had fallen to the ground, his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief!
Henry thought that the goal was 100%, but Zhong Zheng managed to catch it. It seemed to have exceeded his expectations and was extremely shocked.
Oh my God, how could this guy be so powerful, he could even pounce on this ball?
Countless Arsenal fans on the scene were clasping their heads in disbelief as they stared at all of this. They all gasped for breath. Zhong Zheng was indeed so sharp!
Boss, I think we should buy their goalkeepers. Lehmann is old and we need a replacement!
Arsène Wenge also smiled bitterly. He himself liked Zhong Zheng very much. This goalkeeper was practically equal to half of the team. However, regardless of the relationship between Zhong Cheng and Zhong Zheng, even if Zhong Zheng was a loyal fan of Leeds United, Arsenal did not have the chance to introduce him.
Arsène Wenge turned to look at Zhong Cheng on the other side and muttered to himself, “I really don’t know why this fellow’s luck is so good. It doesn’t matter if he has such a shocking eye for people. He even has such powerful eyes for his own younger brother. Could this fellow be someone chosen by the heavens?”
Zhong Cheng’s eyebrows were knitted together. He immediately came to the side of the field and shouted loudly, “Pay attention to the defense behind the ball. This is their tactic, especially Henry. His movement is too erratic and his speed is too fast!”
Yes, what Zhong Cheng was worried about was Henry. Henry was an old fogey. Moreover, he was still at the peak of his strength, making it extremely difficult to defend against. As for Adebayor, Zhong Cheng was not afraid. With Kompani and Vermaelen on their defensive line, they would not be at a disadvantage against Adebayor.
A corner kick. Arsenal got a corner kick.
Zhong Zheng stood up and shouted, “Keep an eye on the tall man. Don’t give them the space to jump. Stay close to them!”
The players of Leeds United moved one after another, sticking close to the people who were guarding against them.
At this moment, the referee’s whistle sounded. Hleb in the corner glanced at everyone, then he quickly ran forward and ruthlessly kicked the football. The soccer ball flew up quickly and flew towards the restricted area of Leeds United.
Zhong Zheng stood in the restricted area and stared at the flying football. He jumped up. As the ball flew over Adebayor’s head in the middle of the penalty area, the guy smashed the ball fiercely into Leeds United’s goal.
The ball was fast, like a cannonball.
“Adebayor header!” Mark Lawrenson screamed crazily, his voice extremely loud.
All the Arsenal goals jumped up and shouted, “Get in there!”
At this moment, Zhong Zheng’s one arm stretched out straight and his palm directly hit the football.
With a slap, the football was slapped out by Zhong Cheng. But before the Leeds United fans could celebrate, they cried out in alarm because Henry had rushed up, shot again, and was in danger!
