The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 640
640 Got to Go and Have to Stay
Manchester United won AC Milan 3-2 in the first leg.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng was discussing the introduction of Kaka.
Seeing the light in Rogers’ eyes, Zhong Cheng said, “Don’t get excited. It’s impossible to bring in Kaka now. We’ll have to wait at least two or three more seasons!”
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Rogers smiled bitterly and lost interest.
However, Rogers suddenly said: “Boss, let’s not talk about whether or not to bring in players. What I want to say now is that some of our players want to leave!”
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned, then nodded thoughtfully.
Zhong Cheng naturally knew who wanted to leave, because he could tell that he was not a fool.
Zhong Cheng said, “I know who you are talking about, but he is not a player of our team. It is normal for him to want to leave.”
Rogers looked up at Zhong Cheng and nodded thoughtfully.
He could tell that Zhong Cheng was the head coach of the team and the owner of the team.
Rogers immediately said, “Boss, what should we do?”
Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said, “Don’t panic. He’s not our player. He’s just here on loan. It’s normal for him to want to leave.”
Rogers snorted coldly, “Hmph, what an ungrateful fellow. When he was being questioned by the whole world and spurned by the whole world, who was supporting him and defending him against Bao Dinglei? It was all you, it was all you.”
‘”If you hadn’t frantically given him a chance, he would have been scolded so badly that he would never have flipped over. This damned fellow, now that he’s a little famous, he’s going to die and wants to run away. What an ungrateful fellow!” Rogers continued.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t say that. After all, he came here on loan. It’s normal for him to want to leave. Besides, he’s a homesick. It’s not necessarily a good thing for him to stay with our Leeds United.”
Yes, the one who made Rogers angry was Tevez, Teresa!
Zhong Cheng already knew that Tevez wanted to leave Leeds United.
Even before Tevez erupted, he already knew. Tevez missed life in Argentina and his hometown very much. He couldn’t stay here for a moment.
Tevez also disliked the atmosphere and life in England and wanted to leave.
Zhong Cheng did not blame Tevez. After all, he had come on loan. Once the one-year lease expired, he would return to Corinthians, Brazil.
Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that Tevez’s agent wanted him to stay in Europe. Back then, he had rented it out to prove himself and ask for a good price.
Logically speaking, Tevez should have stayed at Leeds United at this time.
However, Tevez and his agent both offered to leave Leeds United on the grounds that Tevez was unfamiliar with life here and wanted to return to the Americas.
To be honest, Tevez’s absence has had little impact on Leeds United.
It really wasn’t big at all!
It’s because Leeds United are not short of strikers. Now they have Luca Tony, Edison Cavani, Darren Bent and Nicklas Bendtner. To be honest, they’re not short.
And when the new season comes, Leeds United will be able to recall Hulk from as far away as Belgium, who should be able to acquire Belgian citizenship. Most importantly, Zhong Cheng could summon Alexander Pato from Brazil.
To tell the truth, even if Tevez didn’t want to leave, Zhong Cheng would still send this person away.
After Pato’s arrival, Leeds United’s attackers were a bit overcrowded. Compared to Tevez, Zhong Cheng trusted other strikers more.
By the way, Leeds United’s reserve team now have a future King’s striker, Valdi.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng really does not lack a striker right now. If you, Tevez, want to leave, then leave.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Since he wants to leave, let him leave. We have no shortage of attackers and we don’t have a contract to restrain him. Let him go. However, we have to talk about Mascherano.”
Yes, Mascherano is also on loan at Leeds United.
Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez has made a bid for Javier Mascherano at Leeds United during the winter transfer window. Mascherano joined Leeds United on loan at the beginning of the season, but many people outside did not know that Mascherano was on loan and thought that Leeds United had bought him.
That’s why Benitez made a bid for Leeds United. If Benitez knew that Mascherano was on loan, he would have made a fussy offer to Corinthians and Mascherano’s agency.
Benitez gave up because it was winter, the Premier League was busy and there was the Champions League. However, Zhong Cheng knew that this matter could not be concealed for long. Now, they had to settle Mascherano as soon as possible.
Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that Mascherano’s side was easy to deal with, but the difficult one was Mascherano’s brokerage company. If he wanted them to hand over Mascherano’s ownership, Leeds United would have to bleed profusely.
However, Zhong Cheng admired Mascherano very much, so he reminded Rogers not to let Rafael Benitez take advantage of him.
Rogers immediately said, “Got it, boss. I’ll take care of Javier right away!”
Zhong Cheng nodded his head. After settling the matter with Javier Mascherano, Zhong Cheng would feel much more at ease.
Rogers added, “Boss, what about Tevez?”
Zhong Cheng waved his hand and said, “Let him go, but our club is not short of him, Tevez!”
Rogers knew what Zhong Cheng meant. He nodded and got up to leave.
–Division Line–
Leeds United play Athletics Wigan away in the 36th Premier League match.
This game was naturally very, very important to Leeds United. It was a game that could not be lost. Manchester United’s opponent at this time was Everton. This opponent was still very strong. Manchester United had just knocked AC Milan to death in the Champions League, and after this match, they had to fly away to knock AC Milan to death. Therefore, Manchester United should have some reservations in this match.
Therefore, Everton should have a chance to defeat Manchester United.
Zhong Cheng naturally hoped that his good gay friend Moyes would help him get rid of Manchester United.
Of course, the prerequisite was that their Leeds United had to defeat the Wigan Athletics, so Zhong Cheng was naturally very confident in this match. Zhong Cheng had sent out all of his starting lineups to beat Wigan Athletics head-on.
Leeds United scored in the 15th minute of the first half with a quick counter-attack. The goal was scored by Luca Tony, who was slower in the counterattack and slower to catch up. However, he was lucky enough to catch up with Luca Tony, so a striker of Luca Tony’s level naturally wouldn’t miss out on such an opportunity.
Luca Tony pushed the ball straight into Athletic Wigan’s goal and Luca Tony scored twenty-four goals ahead of his opponent.
Luca Tony should be the top scorer of the Premier League this season.
At the end of the first half, Leeds United got a corner kick. Luka Modric drove the ball into the Wigan Athletics’ restricted area. Pique headed in front and was sent out by the goalkeeper. Luca Tony waited in the back and shot a 2-0 header without a jump.
Luca Tony’s luck today was really good. He made two empty shots and increased his goal count to 25.
It is too difficult for Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo to catch up and it looks like the best striker in the Premier League this season will be Luca Tony.
The second half of the game had just begun when Wigan Athletic scored a goal.
However, just before the end of the game, Nicholas Bendtner, who was on the bench, was given a chance at the front of the box to break Wigan Athletic’s goal with a long kick, 3-1.
Leeds United won the game 3-1. Leeds United scored three points.
The other game between United and Everton started at the same time. Zhong Cheng was very concerned about this game. Everton were originally 2-0 ahead in the first half. At that time, Zhong Cheng and Leeds United fans were very excited. They saw the hope of overtaking Manchester United.
However, in the second half of the game, after Alex Ferguson switched to the starting line-up, Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney scored two goals each and defeated Everton 4-2, scoring three points.
Zhong Cheng was truly speechless. Such an opportunity had allowed Manchester United to escape death. He was truly unhappy.
At the end of the thirty-sixth round of the league, Manchester United had 88 points at the top of the league, while Leeds United still had 87 points, ranking second in the league. Ranked third was Chelsea, with 76 points. They were long out of the Premier League this season. The fourth was still Liverpool, with 66 points. Ranked fifth was Sheffield Wednesday, with 65 points, and sixth was Arsenal, with 65 points.
Next, Zhong Cheng gave the team a holiday to rest and prepare for the next week’s league. Alex Ferguson took Manchester United away to challenge AC Milan.
This game is very important for Manchester United, which is watching their progress to the Champions League final this season.
Manchester United are clearly not going to give up on the Champions League Champions League. Otherwise, how could they have almost lost in the league last weekend? Manchester United took a big turn last weekend and Alex Ferguson would not have suffered from Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney if he hadn’t seen the game coming to a close.
Alex Ferguson is hoping to win both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Zhong Cheng sat in front of the TV again and watched this match. This time with Julia Olivera, no one else. Julia Olivera was sitting in Zhong Cheng’s arms, the two of them tired of being together.
AC Milan took the lead at the start of the game. In the twenty-first minute of the first half, AC Milan’s Kaka made a long-distance attack and sent the ball into Manchester United’s goal with a heavy kick from the front of the restricted area.
The goal was the prelude to AC Milan’s goal.
AC Milan scored a free-kick in the 10th minute of the second half. Kaka stood in front of the football and sent it straight into Manchester United’s goal with a beautiful arc, leaving Alex Ferguson’s face ashen.
In the 18th minute of the second half, AC Milan played well and Kaka assisted Seedorf in scoring the winning goal.
AC Milan beat Manchester United 3-0 at their home Stadium of San Siro, beating Manchester United 5-3 to advance to the Champions League final of the season.
