The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 649
649 Hearing Thunder in Silence!
Du!
With a whistle from Webb, the Premier League’s Heavenly King’s Mountain Battle this season officially began.
The first to kick off was the visiting team, Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng wore a suit and stood at the side with a serious expression.
Yes, after the game started, Zhong Cheng did not return to the coach’s seat. He directly went to the side of the field and stood there, his eyes fixed on the field.
It could be seen that Zhong Cheng was still a little nervous today!
Alex Ferguson, on the other side, was very calm, leaning against the bench, chewing gum incessantly, his gaze fixed on the pitch.
The game had begun and the ball was at Leeds United’s feet.
Manchester United are not pushing very far forward, so the ball has always been at Leeds United’s feet.
Leeds United did not move forward immediately after taking the ball, but stumbled back and forth in the backcourt, preparing to lift Manchester United’s defensive line before launching an attack.
However, Manchester United are not in a hurry, the defensive line has not been pushed forward.
There were only two strikers in the front court, and the midfield only moved in tandem and did not take the initiative to pounce out. Obviously, the Manchester United won’t be so easy to beat. The one in the lead is their Manchester United team. They are not in a hurry.
Leeds United should be in a hurry.
Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines and naturally saw through Manchester United’s intentions. It seemed that if he did not attack from Leeds United’s side, Manchester United would not make a move. The Manchester United men should be happy to keep the situation as calm as it is now because they are ahead.
Yes, a lead determines all of Manchester United’s ideological decisions.
Although he knew what the Manchester United man was thinking, Zhong Cheng still wanted to test the Manchester United man. Therefore, Zhong Cheng did not let the Leeds United players attack immediately. But is still in the backcourt back and forth the ball, Zhong Cheng wants to see how long the Manchester United can endure?
Leeds United are on the losing end and Manchester United are not snatching it, making the game very dull.
The fans on both sides were surprised. Shouldn’t this match be extremely fierce? Why did the competition become so calm?
Many celebrities and socialites who came to the scene were about to doze off. Many of them were not fans at all. They came here to feel the atmosphere or to get on with each other. Now, everyone was drowsy when they saw such a scene.
“Well, the start of the match was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. Many people thought that this match was really too dull and boring. But what I’m saying is, “Actually, this calmness was followed by a surge of hidden troubles. The head coaches of the two teams had been fighting each other since the beginning of the match. Now, the head coaches of the two teams were competing patiently. They were both testing each other’s thoughts and bottom lines. Although it was surprising on the surface, Alex Ferguson and Zhong Cheng had already been fighting each other for a long time!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Yes, the head coach’s battle of wits and courage began before the match started. The so-called interviews before the match were also a battlefield between the two of them. The football match was not as simple as it seemed. After all, it was a war in a peaceful world!” Eddie Gray said the same thing.
Ten minutes had passed. The two teams didn’t even shoot once. They didn’t even hit the opponent’s half a lot. This match really looked so calm that everyone wanted to sleep. Was this still the so-called League Championship, or was it the kind of bloodline-spraying match that was expected before the match?
Many people were speechless and were about to go to bed,
Zhong Cheng had just turned around and returned to the coaching table, ready to drink water. Rogers, the assistant coach of Leeds United, walked up and whispered in Zhong Cheng’s ear, “Boss, shouldn’t we make our move? Ten minutes have passed and the time left for us is getting less and less!”
Yes, Rogers was a little anxious and couldn’t hold his breath anymore.
Zhong Cheng unscrewed the lid of the water bottle, raised his head and took a sip of water. Then, he took off his waist slightly and said, “It’s only ten minutes since we started. It’s still early. We’re sitting opposite an old fox who has been through the battlefield for a long time. Wait a moment!”
Rogers frowned slightly and said, “Boss, we are lagging behind now. If we waste any more time, it will be bad for us!”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and patted Rogers on the shoulder. “Yes, I know, I know!” He said.
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Rogers knew that his persuasion was useless at all. He shook his head helplessly and returned to the coaching table, continuing to sit anxiously. Zhong Cheng turned around and walked back to the command area. Zhong Cheng did not give any instructions, but directly squatted down and stared at the field.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were in a hurry, immediately singing the Leeds United team song neatly. To cheer for Leeds United and remind them that it was time to attack.
The Leeds United players on the pitch were also very anxious, but they did not disrupt Zhong Cheng’s plans at this time. They continued to play according to Zhong Cheng’s arrangements. However, they were really anxious, occasionally looking to the side, looking at Zhong Cheng, waiting for Zhong Cheng’s further instructions.
At this moment, there was finally a first shot on the pitch.
Leeds United striker Edison Cavani fired a long shot from 36 meters away and the football was directly above the bar without any threat.
The match made people really drowsy.
Alex Ferguson’s brows furrowed. What was this fellow Madman Loria doing? What kind of trick did this fellow Madman Loria have, what kind of thoughts did he have?
Alex Ferguson really didn’t understand what Zhong Cheng would do next. However, Alex Ferguson firmly believed that Madman Loria was definitely a backhand and Leeds United would never give up on this match.
Alex Ferguson is waiting, waiting for Leeds United to make their move.
The Manchester United players were also feeling a little aggrieved and panicked. What the hell is F*ck Leeds doing? Even if he didn’t attack at this time, he was still working here?
Many Manchester United players had an attacking look on their faces, and they were feeling a bit aggrieved and anxious to be dragged down by Leeds United.
Manchester United’s players’ spirits are being invisibly eroded by Leeds United.
Manchester United wanted to attack, but Alex Ferguson saw Leeds United and the midfielder react and adjusted his tactics. He was happy to see things go smoothly because they would be the champions.
Alex Ferguson is still scared of provoking Leeds United to break the silence if Manchester United go berserk. Therefore, Manchester United are not very active in possession of the ball. They are mainly in control of the offense and do not have a good chance. They are not easy to pass forward.
It was really boring for the competition to go on until here. Many people couldn’t watch it anymore.
However, the fans on both sides were extremely nervous, especially the Leeds United fans. Right now, Leeds United were lagging behind. This match time was really too important for Leeds United. Leeds United have to attack, they have to attack.
And Zhong Cheng was still quietly squatting there, quietly looking at the field.
Leeds United fans and players were extremely anxious, and Zhong Cheng was like a fine person, which left Leeds United speechless.
Rogers was also very nervous and annoyed. He really wanted to rush out and remind Zhong Cheng again. However, there was only one person in the command area. He didn’t go up.
Zhong Cheng glanced at the time on the big screen. Twenty minutes had passed and there were only three shots from the two teams. This match was really dull.
Zhong Cheng could now tell what Alex Ferguson was thinking. He tried his best to keep the football under his feet, overwhelming Leeds United’s half-time and scoring goals when he had the chance to attack and shoot. If you don’t have a chance, don’t rush to attack. Keep the football under your feet. After conceding the ball, it’s the first time you retreat without giving the Leeds United any chance to retaliate.
Alex Ferguson’s intentions were obvious: control.
When Zhong Cheng suddenly made a concealed attack on the Leeds United players on the field, Zhong Zheng, who had been observing Zhong Cheng, saw this gesture. He immediately threw the football to centre-back Kompani while holding the football, and then he immediately applauded three times.
In the eyes of others, this was Zhong Zheng’s dissatisfaction with the team’s performance, encouraging his teammates to cheer.
However, this caused the hearts of the Leeds United players to tremble and their eyes to shine. Holy shit, after enduring for twenty minutes, it was finally time to erupt.
However, the Leeds United players were still leisurely after taking the ball, as if it was no different from before. However, careful people had already noticed that the players in the front court of Leeds United had made some movements, especially when the two strikers started to move forward.
However, many people did not notice that even Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson did not notice that his attention was still on the back court of Leeds United and he wanted to see when Leeds United would change their rhythm.
But in the next moment, Alex Ferguson’s face turned deathly pale!
With a bang, Compani suddenly sent the football forward with a long kick. The football quickly leapt half the pitch and flew into the left rib of Manchester United’s restricted area.
Luca Tony swiftly thrust forward, heading straight for the empty spot.
Right-back Gary Neville had just been pushed forward, with Ferdinand in the centre slightly ahead, leaving a gap in the left side of the rib.
Gary Neville and Ferdinand immediately raised their hands offside. However, everyone on the scene could clearly see that left-back Heinze was dragged to the end and did not offside.
The Manchester United fans were so nervous that they gasped.
The Leeds United fans screamed with excitement. They roared madly and shouted enthusiastically. The passion that they had accumulated for twenty minutes finally erupted at this moment. It was like a volcano that had accumulated for thousands of years had suddenly erupted. It erupted with scorching magma, announcing the entire world.
Gary Neville and Ferdinand quickly retreated towards Luca Tony, chasing after him like two hungry wolves crazily pouncing on food, incomparably ferocious.
“Defend! Defend! Stop him! Stop him!” At the scene, the Manchester United fans immediately howled in horror and shouted crazily.
Luca Toni was not anxious at all. He looked at the football and stood in place. Then, he jumped high and swung the ball back, staring at the front of the restricted area.
The football immediately flew past Ferdinand, who was quickly chasing after him, and flew behind him. Ferdinand was shocked and immediately turned to look at the flying football.
The football flew towards Edison Cavani!
Edison Cavani saw the ball coming and kept on shooting. With a bang, Edison Cavani’s right leg slammed into the ball and the ball flew towards Manchester United’s goal like lightning.
The quality of Edison Cavani’s shot was very good, sending out a world wave.
In front of the goal, Van der Sar flew sideways, but did not touch the football. The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
