The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 648
648 Discover Manchester United’s Weakness
Zhong Cheng arrived at the tactical board and drew two lines in front of it.
The Leeds players in the dressing room stared fixedly at the two lines on the board and knew just how important it was.
“Manchester United’s defence is very strong, especially their centre-backs Ferdinand and Vidić. They are the strongest centre-backs in the Premier League. Both of them are tall and have bouncing bodies. Their speed is not slow either. They are a pair of centre-backs without weaknesses,” said Zhong.
The Leeds United players nodded and listened attentively.
Yes, these two centre-backs are really awesome, very sharp, incredibly powerful.
Zhong Cheng continued: “However, compared to those small and agile strikers, the two centre-backs are still a bit slow to turn around and are not agile enough. As long as they are not close, there is still a good chance. However, there is no such striker in our club right now.”
No, it’s not like the Leeds RUF doesn’t have small, agile strikers.
They do. It’s Carlos Tevez!
Carlos Tevez is only 171cm tall, fast and agile, and has the ability to ribbon. Such a striker is actually a threat to Ferdinand and Vidić.
However, Zhong Cheng would not use Carlos Tevez.
Carlos Tevez has made it clear he wants to leave Leeds United, not even giving them a chance, saying he will not negotiate a contract with Leeds United. He is not willing to stay in England at all and is going back to South America.
Carlos Tevez was not on the roster for this match.
Zhong Cheng said that the club did not have this type of striker, meaning that they did not have this type of striker on their current roster.
The Leeds United players all raised their heads to look at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng continued, “Therefore, our target today is not these two centre-backs, but the two ribs of this line of defense, that is, the position between the two wing-backs and centre-backs!”
The Leeds United players all nodded because the lines on the tactical board were clearly drawn.
Zhong Cheng said, “Yesterday, I already showed you the two legs of Manchester United versus AC Milan. Do you see that? In both legs, AC Milan broke through Manchester United’s goal through the ribs. What does that mean? It means there is something wrong with the ribs of Manchester United, you know?”
The Leeds United players came to a sudden realization. So it was like this.
When they watched the video of the two matches yesterday, many people hadn’t thought of this. Now that Zhong Cheng reminded them, everyone remembered that it was really true. AC Milan scored four of their five goals in the two legs from this position, suggesting that Manchester United’s rib problems are serious.
Zhong Cheng said, “So, try your best to fight back in these two positions. The coordination between their full-backs and centre-backs is not a tacit understanding. There are some problems with their defenses. I hope that you can seize these opportunities and give a fatal blow to your faces. Do you understand?”
The Leeds United players were full of confidence as they shouted, “Got it, boss! We know what to do! We’re going to win this game!”
Looking at the current state of the Leeds United players, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and was very satisfied.
However, Zhong Cheng cautioned: “Watch out for Cristiano Ronaldo on the Manchester United side when defending. This guy is someone who can change the outcome of a game. Once he stuck the ball to him, use his body to restrain him!”
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo was not as strong as he was in his later life, and it was difficult for him to do anything with Leeds United’s close defense.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo’s inspiration was very threatening, so Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players to pay attention to Cristiano Ronaldo and keep an eye on him.
The Leeds United players nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng was satisfied. He waved his hand and signaled for the Leeds United players to set off. The Leeds United players shouted that we were champions and rushed out of the dressing room.
–Division Line–
“Hello, spectators, fans, everyone! This is BBC Sports, we are the familiar Mark Lawrenson. My partner today, Eddie, is by my side!” BBC sport broadcast that match live.
Eddie Gray immediately said: “Hello, fans. We are the familiar Eddie Gray. Now I am here to explain today’s Premier League game.”
“Today is the most important Premier League game of the season and the final round of the Premier League. In the 38th Premier League round, Manchester United played Leeds United at their home Old Trafford Stadium.” Said Mark Lawrenson.
“This is the Premier League’s Heavenly King Mountain game this season, the Premier League championship championship against the second-placed table, and most importantly, the two teams are now only one point apart in points, that is to say, the outcome of this game determines the Premier League’s ownership of this season. It should be the most intense season in years, “said Eddie Gray.”
“Yes, the two teams are really too ferocious, in this season’s performance is very so, actually left the league championship suspense until the last round, this game is exciting. However, I think there is a lot of pressure on Manchester United right now. “Because they don’t want to be pushed off the top of the league in the final round after almost a season!” Said Mark Lawrenson.
“Alright, the game is about to start. The players on both sides are about to play. But before the players play, there is a ceremony where the Premier League championship trophy will be played first!” Eddie Gray said.
Yes, before the players on both sides play, FA officials scored the Premier League trophy and put it on the sidelines.
Because this season’s Premier League title will be won only between Manchester United and Leeds United, the Football Association has brought the real trophy to Old Trafford in Manchester. In the past, because more than two teams had a chance of winning, they would have touched the real trophy in one place and sent out replicas elsewhere for the time being.
Today, what appeared at the Old Trafford Stadium was the real thing.
The Manchester United fans were excited to see the FA officials bring in the trophy, singing the team song and “We are the Champions” as if the trophy belonged to their team now.
The Manchester United players have taken this game to be their championship celebration, as if they can’t wait to celebrate.
This naturally made Leeds United’s fans very angry. These damned Manchester United actually ignored them. In this match, Leeds United had to give the damned Manchester United people a good look, push the Manchester United man off the top of the table, then leave with the championship trophy in hand, and ruthlessly humiliate a disgusting and arrogant Manchester United.
Thunderous applause sounded at the scene as the FA officials placed the trophy on the sidelines and the fans on both sides were excited.
The Old Trafford Stadium was full of excitement.
–Division Line–
“Alright, now the players from both sides have followed the referee team out of the dressing room. They have entered the stadium and the match is about to start!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
The fans on both sides immediately gave out thunderous applause to welcome the players from the two teams.
“Now that the players from both sides are on the field, let’s introduce the starting lineup of Tainan!” Eddie Gray said as he flipped through the information in his hand.
The starting lineup for today is as follows:
Home: Manchester United, Coach: Alex Ferguson, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Heinze, Vidić, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo
Double strikers: Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha
This is Manchester United’s starting lineup for today, and it’s the best United can come out of it right now. But Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson and French striker Louis Saha are said to have a deep conflict. It is said that Louis Saha will be sent away at the end of the season and Alex Ferguson will no longer tolerate Louis Saha.
However, In this match, Alex Ferguson put Louis Saha in the starting line-up, This showed that the relationship between the two of them was not as the media reporters had advertised. It seemed that Alex Ferguson trusted Louis Saha more. Otherwise, Alex Ferguson would not let Louis Saha start such an important game.
Guest: Leeds United, Head Coach: Zhong Zheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Evra, Gerard Pique, Compani and Sagna
Single waist: Mascherano
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Frank Ribery, Luca Modric and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani
This was the starting lineup of the Leeds United team today. This tactical lineup was also the absolute starting lineup of the Leeds United team. This was the strongest Leeds United team right now.
This is different from Leeds United at the beginning of the season. The current Leeds United is in excellent condition. They are now on par with Manchester United.
