The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 588
588 Sure Enough, He Was Too Careless!
London, Emirates Stadium!
Yes, Highbury said goodbye to Arsenal last season. Now Arsenal’s home ground has moved to their new stadium, Emirates Stadium.
The stadium is still very big, can accommodate more than 60,000 fans, is a modern facilities are very perfect classic stadium, by UEFA rated as a five-star stadium.
However, there weren’t many fans in the stadium today and there weren’t many people sitting there.
Perhaps it’s because it’s a Carling Cup game, or it’s because there’s no suspense, or it’s because a lot of people are still at work in the middle of the week …
There weren’t many Leeds United fans on the road today because before the game, all the Leeds United said they would give up on the game. Since they had already given up on the match, what were they looking for? Watching other teams mess with them?
At any rate, Leeds United fans were still feeling very uncomfortable.
Of course, Leeds United fans also understood what Leeds United did, for the sake of the league. But when they thought of giving up on this match, they still felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. These damned Arsenal fans will definitely taunt them and they are angry.
Although there weren’t many people present, it looked like they had only sat half way to the stadium. But the atmosphere was good, and of course it was worth it for Arsenal. Because there weren’t many Leeds United fans, their voices were completely silenced by the Arsenal fans’ voices.
Zhong Cheng arrived at the stadium, directly in front of the coach stands, quietly standing.
At this time, Arsenal’s head coach Arsène Wenge walked over as the owner and warmly extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng, saying, “Welcome to the Emirates Stadium, Loria!”
Zhong Cheng grabbed Wenger’s right hand and said: “Thank you!”
The two of them didn’t say anything else at all. This was just an ordinary courtesy.
At this point, BBC commentators Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray are presenting their starting lineups for today, which are as follows:
Home: Arsenal, head coach Arsène Wenge, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Crissy, Joan Juru, Senderos and Marfi Coroni
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Hleb, Denilson, Baptista and Sebastian Larson
Twin strikers: Aliadiere and Van Persie
This is Arsenal’s starting line-up for the game. Look, Arsène Wenge has put out almost an all-substitute lineup. It could be seen that Arsène Wenge did not think Leeds United would cause any major problems for them in this match.
Before the game, the Leeds United had already declared that they would definitely give up on this game, so the long-term love Arsène Wenge had put out a substitute lineup.
The Arsenal squad did look a lot different from the main line-up, but the 4-1 score gave them the confidence to do so.
Looking at the Arsenal squad, Zhong Cheng smiled. There was still one more game left. BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson also smiled. Arsenal really underestimated Leeds United.
Next up is the starting lineup for Leeds United, as follows:
Guest: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Simon Minolet
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Compani, Pique and Sagna
Single waist: Mascherano
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Darren Bent, Yaya Toure and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Tony and Carlos Tevez
The starting lineup of Leeds United was really a half-starter and half-substitute lineup. In fact, there were a lot of candidates who had to do this because their main players were injured. In fact, it really looked like a main lineup.
However, if you look closely, this is really a substitute lineup, and many of Leeds United’s main players, such as goalkeeper Zhong Zheng, left-back Aver La, and many people in midfield and forward, don’t start.
This was indeed a half-main and half-substitute squad.
However, Arsène Wenge’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, because Leeds United’s main players were Compani, Pique, Mascherano, Joaquin and Luca Tony. Was this like giving up on the game?
Who would believe you!
Arsène Wenge’s breathing stagnated. He realized that he had been tricked by Madman Roja and Leeds United. From the beginning, Leeds United had never thought of giving up this match. Otherwise, they would not have used such a starting line-up.
Looking at Leeds United’s starting lineup and Arsenal’s current starting lineup. Arsène Wenge’s breathing was stagnant. He was a bit careless in this match. Only then did he get mad Roja, this damn guy, to say something.
Arsène Wenge became serious all of a sudden.
Arsène Wenge didn’t forget to turn around and look at Zhong Cheng. His eyes were filled with anger. This damned fellow actually dared to tease them like this. He was simply courting death.
“Wow, we saw that Madman Roja really played a big game in front of us and before the game they said they were going to give up on the game. But this game their starting lineup revealed that we won’t stop until we win the game. “Looking at the Arsenal starting lineup, it’s clear that the Arsenal man believed what Madman Roja said before the game, hahaha!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrence immediately exclaimed.
Now Arsenal fans are blushing, they are glaring at Zhong Cheng, this damn guy, this liar. This super liar, the Arsenal fans cursed at Zhong Cheng crazily, all sorts of malicious words rushing up.
“Hmph, damn Madman Loria. Die, you Tamar. Your dirty tricks still don’t change the fact that Leeds United are going to lose. Whatever you do, our Arsenal team will do it. Die!” Someone shouted frantically.
The Arsenal fans were in full swing, cursing Zhong Cheng crazily.
Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines like a statue, unmoved, watching the field quietly. The game had already begun. Leeds United were the first to get the ball. They controlled the football, slowly putting it on and attacking Arsenal.
Many of Arsenal’s players are young, especially their right-back Marfie Coroni, who has become a priority for Leeds United.
Darren Bent frantically rushed to Marfie Coroni’s side at the start of the game, which made the little fellow scramble.
All of a sudden, Darren Bent crossed Marfie Coroni and went straight into Arsenal’s box. Arsenal fans burst out in shock as they booed Darren Bent who was dribbling the ball.
After Darren Bent passed Marffy Coroni, he faced Senderos.
Senderos was tall and slightly fat, so his body was very big in front of him. Darren Bent felt like a wall in front of him. Darren Bent wanted to break through, but he instantly changed his mind and slanted the football to the back of the restricted area.
Yes, it was a high-pitched oblique pass, directly passing the football to the other side of the restricted area.
Senderos jumped up and prepared to head the ball. However, the football actually flew past the ends of his hair and directly flew towards the back of the restricted area.
“Nice pass, Senderos’s heading. Arsenal are in danger!” Mark Lawrenson’s voice rang out like a machine gun, extremely fast.
Arsenal’s Hubei fans were all shocked and nervous.
In front of the goal, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia rushed towards the back point. But Luca Tony, who was later, jumped up high.
When all the Arsenal fans saw Luca Tony jumping up, their eyes went dark. It was over. It was over.
“Luca Tony, Luca Tony header!” Eddie Gray, the commentator of the BBC, roared excitedly in an incomparably loud voice.
Zhong Cheng waved excitedly on the sidelines. Arsenal’s goal was definitely over.
With a bang, Luca Tony’s forehead landed firmly on the flying soccer ball, which flew rapidly towards the corner of the goal.
Almunia, who was standing in front of the goal, had no choice but to raise his hand symbolically to intercept the football. Unfortunately, his luck was not heaven-defying. He did not touch football at all. The football flew quickly past him and into the goal behind him.
Leeds United scored at Arsenal’s home Emirates Stadium just five minutes into the first half of the game 1-0.
The moment the goal was scored, the atmosphere at the scene became very tense. Arsenal fans were immediately worried. They had conceded the ball so early. What about the next game?
Although Leeds United want to knock Arsenal out, they still need to score three goals in the upcoming games. But the goal made Arsenal fans feel cold and uneasy.
Ars è ne Wenger couldn’t sit still on the sidelines as he stood up and waved his hand to remind the Arsenal players to be on guard and be on guard.
Ars è ne Wenger was also depressed and blamed himself for being too careless. At this moment, he was also thinking in his heart, should he change people at this time? What about Marfie Coroni, who was seen as a loophole at such a young age?
But replacing Marfie Coroni at this time was a disguise to prove that his pre-race arrangements were all wrong, wasn’t it? Moreover, Maffei Coroni was very young. If he were to be replaced at this time, would it hurt his young soul?
Ars è ne Wenger’s heart was in a tangle, a strange tangle. What would he do if he fell to the ground?
At this moment, Zhong Cheng kept applauding from the sidelines. This attack was very good and perfect. Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players to continue like this and try to score one or two goals in the first half, preferably two, so that the second half would be much easier.
At this moment, the game on the pitch continued, and Arsenal had obviously strengthened their defenses. Especially with wingers, their midfielders came to help Marfie Coroni defend.
