615 Young People in Leeds Are Waiting for an Opportunity
Enrique Flores and Zhong Cheng had a secret meeting for a long time before they parted ways.
On the plane back to Leeds, Julia Olivera and Rogers asked Zhong Cheng what had happened between him and Enrique Flores? What’s the relationship?
Zhong Cheng only said that the two of them were tourists.
Zhong Cheng didn’t say anything else, which made this matter even more mysterious.
Julia Olivera and Rogers naturally wanted to figure this out, but Zhong Cheng didn’t say anything about it. They just felt itchy in their hearts and felt uncomfortable along the way.
However, even if Zhong Cheng didn’t say anything, they could only endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was.
After returning to Leeds United, the English media have been reporting on the draw for the Champions League quarter-final, and they have been interpreting and predicting the draw, which is obviously very bad for Leeds United.
The English media believe that three teams will make it to the top four of the Champions League this time, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Yes, at this time, the English media are not optimistic about Leeds United.
Evidently, Zhong Cheng’s lack of experience in the Champions League has been overrated by media reporters. They believe that although Zhong Cheng has good strength, it is impossible to defeat old-fashioned Rafael Benitez. Liverpool will definitely eliminate Leeds United to advance to the last four of the Champions League this season.
At this time, the Leeds United fans were very excited and excited. They were very happy to play for Liverpool because in the last two seasons, Leeds United had not suffered any losses against Liverpool. They had almost all won.
So now against Liverpool, the Leeds United man is very confident.
Leeds United fans have posted their opinions online, claiming that Leeds United’s victory over Liverpool was a piece of cake. And Leeds United fans also claimed that Liverpool were far behind Leeds United in the league. This was a sign of strength. Liverpool could not win against Leeds United.
However, the English media claimed that Rafa Benitez was a cup coach and that he was bound to play much better in the cup than in the league. Liverpool are the strongest team in the cup. Leeds United have little chance against the strongest Liverpool team.
Yes, at this time, the media reporters were very noisy. The outside world was also in an uproar. They were even more anxious and nervous than Liverpool and Leeds United.
A lot of people are watching this match. They all hope that the Champions League of the English Civil War will come soon because this match will be very good. They want to see what the final result of this match will be like?
At this moment, Zhong Cheng’s attention was not focused on this matter. His attention was focused on the upcoming FA Cup quarter-final. Leeds United would go to Plymouth on the road.
Plymouth are not strong. Although many of the main players of Leeds United have reported to the national team, they are confident that they can win with this remnant Junior Leeds United.
In this match, Zhong Cheng gave the young Azar a chance, and Azar appeared in the first-team starting line-up. Now, everyone could tell that Zhong Cheng valued Azar very much. He was focusing on nurturing Azar.
This was the envy of countless young players in the Leeds United squad, including Kurtuva, Lukaku, Pogba, De Bruyne, Danny Ross and Zhong Yan. Especially Zhong Yan. He is Zhong Cheng’s younger brother. He has never received such treatment before.
Of course, Zhong Yan was only ten or eleven years old now. Even if Zhong Cheng wanted to nurture Zhong Yan, he couldn’t. He was young now.
However, even so, Zhong Yan was very envious of Azar. Azar was really lucky.
Of course, especially De Bruyne, who was the same year as Azar, he was even more envious. He was only four months younger than Azar, but now Azar had played for Leeds United’s first team many times, and this was his first time in Leeds United’s first team.
Yes, at this time, Zhong Cheng also pulled De Bruyne into the first team.
However, De Bruyne is not as lucky as Azar. So far, De Bruyne has not played for Leeds United’s first team, and today is the first time he has sat on the bench for Leeds United’s first team.
De Bruyne knew that if the right stars didn’t report to the national team and Leeds United were short-handed, he, De Bruyne, would definitely not be able to sit on the bench for Leeds United’s first team.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, De Bruyne. He wanted to occasionally have a chance to show off and leave a deep impression on Zhong Cheng so that he could be remembered.
However, at this time, many media reporters remembered De Bruyne’s name. Because a 16-year-old youngster had appeared in the Leeds United first team, it seemed that the Leeds United were going to put the Young Guards’ reputation on the line.
Of course, the reporters on the scene were also very interested in De Bruyne. They wanted to see what kind of relationship De Bruyne had with Azar, who appeared in the arena. Was this fellow as powerful as Azar? If that was the case, then Zhong Cheng was too powerful.
At this time, the media reporters on the scene were in the same mood as De Bruyne. They were all hoping that De Bruyne would come out.
On the other hand, Zhong Cheng sat quietly on the sidelines, as if he had never thought of such a question. He sat so calmly, as if there was no such person as De Bruyne on the bench.
In the 22nd minute of the first half of the game, Nicklas Bendtner, who was in the restricted area of the Leeds United team, received a cross knock from the young Azar and fell to the ground to scoop the football into Plymouth’s goal, leading Plymouth 1-0.
Zhong Chengzhen did not expect Azar to perform so well today. They were truly shocked. Azar’s performance was getting better and better, and he was also very stable. It seemed that he would have to spend more time in the future.
The Leeds United fans also gave Azar thunderous applause, and some scouts ambushed in the stands were busy recording Azar’s performance in this match.
Yes, there are a lot of scouts following Azar right now. Many teams want to dig into the corner of Leeds United. Even though they had been rejected many times, they still didn’t give up. They still sent people to follow Azar and learn about Azar’s recent situation.
Alex Ferguson is particularly keen on Azar, especially for Manchester United. Even Alex Ferguson personally visited the Azars, but he was unable to convince the Azars that they still chose to stay at Leeds United.
Even so, Alex Ferguson did not give up. This showed how powerful Azar was and how much he valued Alex Ferguson.
Zhong Cheng also knew that there must be many scouts recording Azar’s performance in the stands. However, Zhong Cheng’s generation was not worried. He believed that Azar would make the right choice. Azar was no longer a spearhead. He was very mature.
On the bench, De Bruyne watched Azar perform so brilliantly on the pitch. His feet were itchy and he wanted to rush up and play a good game. De Bruyne never thought he was worse than Azar, he was only stronger than Azar.
Now that Azar is on the pitch, he wants to have a chance.
However, De Bruyne had been waiting for an opportunity on the bench, and the first opportunity never came. He kept turning his head to Zhong Cheng to see if Zhong Cheng had any intention of letting him go on stage.
De Bruyne was really, really anxious.
However, Zhong Cheng didn’t look at him at the end of the first half of the match. This made De Bruyne very disappointed, but he didn’t hate Zhong Cheng. If it weren’t for Zhong Cheng, he would still be staying in Belgium. How could he come to England? There were so many youth leagues and cups mentioned. There were many more matches here than in Belgium. This was very beneficial to his growth.
De Bruyne knew that all of this was due to Zhong Cheng’s respect for him.
Moreover, Zhong Cheng has really spared no effort in grooming rookies. It is easier for young players like them to rise to prominence if they stay at Leeds United. So he stayed at Leeds United, even though there were a lot of teams throwing football at him.
Yes, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Pogba, these players who have been very eye catching in the youth league are all valued by other clubs. Many clubs have invited them to leave Leeds United, but they all chose to stay.
De Bruyne was satisfied with his decision to stay because he was already on the bench for Leeds United’s first team at such a young age. Although they would definitely get a minute to play, being on the bench would be a great help to his growth.
At the same time, De Bruyne could clearly feel how much Zhong Cheng valued him. If it weren’t for this, would Zhong Cheng give him such a chance as a 16-year-old brat?
De Bruyne was grateful, but at the same time, he was hoping to play.
In the 30th minute of the second half, De Bruyne finally got the chance. He was a substitute. De Bruyne was very excited, and he had replaced Azar.
De Bruyne was very positive after coming on. He worked hard and played very well. It was also a good pass. Unfortunately, Nicklas Bendtner was a little slower. He only shoveled a little and the football missed the goal. If he had followed up in time, the goal would have been scored without a doubt.
Nicklas Bendtner didn’t expect De Bruyne to pass the ball like this. This little fellow’s passing was too imaginative. Nicklas Bendtner suddenly felt that he was too old to keep up with these young people of the new era.
In the final game, Leeds United beat Plymouth 1-0 away. He won the game and made it to the final four of the 2006-2007 FA Cup.
