The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 610
610 This Is the Most Destructive Weapon
There is a big game in the Premier League this round, and that is Liverpool versus Manchester United, who are at the top of the Premier League at home.
Originally, Zhong Cheng had hoped that Liverpool would give him some strength and directly kill Manchester United to create a small surprise. But the Liverpool man did not fulfil Zhong Cheng’s wish as they lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United. Liverpool are the only Premier League team to lose,
Therefore, the current Premier League rankings are the same, with 72 points for Manchester United in first place, 68 points for Leeds United in second, 64 points for Chelsea in third, 57 points for Arsenal in fourth, 55 points for Sheffield Wednesday in fifth and 50 points for Liverpool in sixth.
Yes, Manchester United became the first team to score more than 70 points this season.
Manchester United have been really strong this season, and it looks like Alex Ferguson is holding back and is going crazy, vowing to win the Premier League this season.
Zhong Cheng said to Rogers: “This season, Leeds United want to win the Premier League title is really very, very difficult ah, it can be seen that Manchester United really want to ride out the dust, know the final.”
Rogers also sighed. This season, Manchester United were too strong and did not give the team behind them any chances.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng is somewhat regretful, because they have seen the chance to surpass Manchester United. However, after that death, they did not grasp the opportunity and lost.
This season, Alex Ferguson has been reluctant to win the Coach of the Month award.
This season, the Premier League is really hard to play.
There is still some time left in the thirtieth round of the season, because there is a short break and the national team’s game day has come again. However, during this period of time, Leeds United had two matches to play. One was the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, and the other was the FA Cup, the quarter-final.
Therefore, at this time, the Leeds United team’s competition task was still very heavy.
First, Leeds United greeted Elland Road from Holland at home at the Eindhoven Stadium.
Before the match, Zhong Cheng said to his players, “We lost 1-0 in the first leg. All the pressure in this match is on us. We not only have to win, but also prevent the opponent from scoring, because we can’t let the opponent score away from home!”
Yes, losing the first round 0-1 is not the end of the world. The second round is easy to catch. However, they must not score away from home. Otherwise, Leeds United would be in an incomparably passive position.
The Leeds United players nodded in understanding.
To be honest, Leeds United’s players haven’t had enough fun yet. They don’t want to be eliminated so early. Leeds United’s mission is to win the Champions League.
Of course, many people didn’t believe that this was just a joke from Leeds United.
Leeds United want to win the Champions League. This is just a dream. Your Leeds United are still far from reaching the Dao of the Champions League.
At this time, Eindhoven came to the road to face Leeds United.
In this match, Zhong Cheng had put out one of the best starting lineups so far, as follows:
Goalkeeper: Simon Mignolet
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic and Gary Kelly
Single waist: Diaby
Three avantgarde “from left to right”: Darren Bent, Gourcuff and Shao Jiayi
Twin strikers: Nicklas Bendtner and Edinson Cavani
Yes, some of the players have left the club to report to the national team. Some members of the national team could stay for a while longer and report a day or two later.
When the Leeds United fans saw the starting lineup, their hearts were filled with worry and fear. They felt it was really difficult to win this line-up, it was just a substitute line-up for Leeds United.
Leeds United fans cheered and prayed for their players.
Seeing Leeds United’s starting lineup, Eindhoven was naturally very confident that they could win against Leeds United and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season.
Even so, Eindhoven was very cautious in the game and did not underestimate Leeds United at all. So the game was a bit dull at the beginning. Eindhoven was the leading side after all and it was not them who were in a hurry to change the score.
Therefore, Eindhoven did not choose to launch a fierce attack from the outset.
This match was very, very calm. It didn’t seem like a life-and-death battle at all. The fans on both sides were drowsy from watching it.
Rogers went straight to Zhong Cheng and said, “Boss, the Eindhoven are very cunning. It seems that if we don’t take the initiative to attack, they will be wasting their time with us until the end of the match!”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. He knew that Rogers was right. After all, the Eindhoven who were currently leading could do nothing at all. Leeds United, on the other hand, could not do so. Leeds United had to win.
Rogers is very anxious now, he is hoping that the team can make a change as soon as possible, attacking. Because the game time is very important to Leeds United, we can’t waste it like this.
Zhong Chengshi shook his head slightly and said, “Don’t worry, let’s see. I want to see if Eindhoven’s patience is really beautiful.”
Rogers sighed helplessly. How could he look at it again at this time? Shouldn’t he be attacking directly at this time?
On Eindhoven’s side, the old god was there, ignoring him. As long as your Leeds United don’t change anything, they’ll just hang in there. It would be best if this continued until the end of the match, so that they could win the match at the smallest cost.
Eindhoven’s head coach occasionally turned to look at Zhong Cheng. He was also curious as to how long Zhong Cheng could endure.
At this moment, the fans on both sides of the arena were extremely anxious and bored. How could this match be played like this? This was simply trapping people to death.
Yes, the match was too dull. They were speechless.
Zhong Cheng did not take any action and just sat quietly on the sidelines. Zhong Cheng ignored the Leeds United players who frequently turned their heads to look at Zhong Cheng. He just sat there quietly.
The Leeds United fans couldn’t sit down anymore. They immediately jumped up excitedly, singing Leeds United’s team song loudly to cheer for the Leeds United players, hoping that they could attack and fight to the death against the Eindhoven people.
However, Zhong Cheng was still sitting steadily on the Diaoyutai, and he had no intention of meddling in the affairs of the world, as if he had become a monk.
Looking at Zhong Cheng’s appearance, Eindhoven’s head coach was filled with admiration. This fellow’s energy nourishing skills and patience were really strong. If it was anyone else, they would have been attacked by Zhong Cheng long ago.
However, Eindhoven’s reputation as the head coach was fooled. His mind was very clear. Now he was going to waste his time with loyalty and see who had more patience.
Just like that, the first half ended in such a boring manner.
Looking at the end of the first half, the head coach of Eindhoven exclaimed, “This madman Roja is really very human. I can’t accept this patience! This guy is a big man!”
However, Eindhoven’s head coach hoped that Zhong Cheng could continue like this. But he also knew that this was an extravagant hope, the second half of the game to welcome them must be a storm.
At this moment, the Leeds United fans were very satisfied. They hoped that Leeds United could attack crazily and fight Eindhoven to the end. Even if they lost, they were not afraid. What they were afraid of was that the Leeds United did not even have the courage to fight.
At halftime, Leeds United fans were singing wildly, cheering for Leeds United,
Luo Jie came to Zhong Cheng’s side and asked, “Boss, what are we going to do in the second half?”
Zhong Cheng did not say anything. He only smiled and walked into the dressing room.
Just as the second half of the game began, Leeds United launched a frenzy of attacks.
Yes, the whistle at the start of the game had just remembered that Leeds United were flooding towards Eindhoven’s half-court. Although PSV’s head coach warned PSV players in midfield to watch out for Leeds United’s counterattack in the second half, especially at the start of the game.
However, they were thinking on one hand, and whether they could do it on the other.
The first half of the match had been loosened up, but now it suddenly became urgent. They really couldn’t react. Inertia and habit were good things. Zhong Cheng had spent 45 minutes to make the Eindhoven people form this habit. They were really unable to break free from this habit at once.
Eindhoven’s manager immediately leaned up and stared nervously at the pitch.
Gourcuff, who was in the middle of the line, suddenly changed directions to the defender who had lost the middle of the line. Then, he drove the ball into Eindhoven’s box. Eindhoven’s defenders frantically rushed over, and there was a gap in the box in the blink of an eye.
Gourcuff secretly stabbed the tip of his foot and sent the football to the undefended Nicklas Bendtner’s feet. Naturally, Nicklas Bendtner was not courteous and directly pushed the football into the far corner of the goal.
1-0, the overall score was 1-1, and Leeds United equalised.
The Elland Road Stadium exploded in an instant. All the Leeds United fans cheered excitedly and shouted Zhong Cheng’s name. It turned out that they had wrongly blamed Zhong Cheng.
Eindhoven’s head coach shook his head repeatedly. He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated his habits. This was really a secret. Eindhoven’s head coach was filled with regret, but at this moment, he was still rational. With a wave of his hand, Eindhoven frantically attacked.
If that was the case, he would be courting death. The Leeds alliance’s counterattack was extremely powerful.
Now it was a draw, and before it was time to fight to the death, the Eindhoven had stabilized their footing and played a grinding battle with Leeds United.
However, at this moment, Eindhoven himself made a mistake. When the ball fell in the backcourt, he made a mistake in passing the ball and was directly snatched off the football by Darren Bent on the side.
Seeing this, Eindhoven’s head coach jumped up and shouted in horror, “Defend!”
Unexpectedly, Darren Bent made an arc on the side and passed the football into Eindhoven’s restricted area. Nicklas Bendtner in the front of the box became a cover, attracting everyone’s attention, and then the football was left out of the back.
The undefended Edinson Cavani rushed forward without jumping and smashed his head towards the flying football, sending it into the Eindhoven Club’s goal.
Leeds United beat PSV Eindhoven 2-0, 2-1 overall, and made it into the Champions League quarter-finals.
