The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 664
664 Don’t Leave, Please Stay!
One to zero!
Leeds United scored in the eighth minute of the first half!
The goal was scored by Albertini, the veteran!
This was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. None of them had expected that this retiring veteran would not be old enough to complete such a spectacular goal. This was truly too shocking.
“Albertini’s goal is really amazing and amazing! I really don’t see how he’s going to retire at all. I think Albertini’s retirement is still a bit early. He should postpone his retirement for another year or two. He’s still in a good condition to support him and he can play well!” Eddie Gray praised sincerely.
‘”It was a family treasure! No one expected that the first to score was this veteran, Albertini. This was beyond our expectations. This goal was really a goal with a lot of emotions!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
“Demi, stay! We need you! Demi, stay! We need you!” Cried the Leeds United fans neatly.
Yes, Leeds United fans are trying to keep Albertini and they don’t want him to leave the pitch just like that. Albertini’s stay will bring more glory to Leeds United and they want him to stay.
Albertini, who scored the goal, came to the sidelines and waved and bowed to the Leeds United fans. He was very grateful to them for their love and help.
At this moment, Albertini remembered the first time he saw Zhong Cheng. When he chose Leeds United, he had no idea. It was like a gamble.
At that time, he really did not expect that he would achieve such amazing results at Leeds United.
Choosing Leeds United was a very correct choice!
At this moment, Albertini was glad that he had chosen Leeds United!
Albertini suddenly turned around and bowed in Zhong Cheng’s direction, expressing his gratitude. At that time, he was the one who persuaded him to join Leeds United, and Zhong Cheng was his mentor.
The Leeds United fans were all crying. They knew what Albertini meant by this. It seemed that Albertini had really decided to bid farewell to professional football.
The Leeds United fans were heartbroken and reluctant to part, many tears streaming down their eyes as they called out Albertini’s name. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that this was an English FA Cup final.
“We have all seen that Leeds United fans are collectively trying to keep Albertini. “But we ‘ve seen albertini’ s movements. He ‘s determined to leave the pitch. A great player is bidding us farewell. There’ s one more person who ‘s bidding us farewell this game. The era of leeds united is coming to an end! Eddie Gray was filled with emotions when he saw this. He was an old Leeds man. He had seen batches of Leeds old men leave over the years. Today, seeing Albertini and Gary Kelly arrive at this point, he felt very sad. He thought of himself as well as the past.
Leeds Alliance, our deepest love!
Don’t worry, we’ve never really left!
Eddie Gray almost couldn’t hold back his tears. However, he knew that this was a match, an important final, and he endured it.
The match had to continue!
The referee called Albertini back and the match continued.
The Leeds United players returned, and the Leeds United fans were in full swing. Tens of thousands of people shouted, “Leeds United, come on! Leeds United charge!”
This momentum was simply too great, directly overwhelming the Chelsea man.
On the sidelines, José Mourinho frowned. This scene was too bad for Chelsea. The Leeds United were united and their morale had reached its peak. It was really difficult to fight against his opponent. José Mourinho was a little anxious.
José Mourinho couldn’t sit still anymore. He immediately got up and went to the sidelines.
José Mourinho gestured to the Chelsea players to stay calm for the time being and not fight Leeds United head-on. Leeds United’s morale has risen, and Chelsea are now trying to provoke them into losing control of their mood so the Chelsea man has a chance.
Yes, José Mourinho wants Leeds United players to get excited on the pitch and lose control of their emotions so that their Chelsea chances come.
José Mourinho crossed his chest and quietly looked at the field.
Chelsea did not stay here long before Leeds United steal them. The Leeds United players were in high spirits, morale, and ferocity, and the Chelsea man could only avoid them for now.
Here comes Leeds United’s attack again.
This time, it was still the winger, and Franck Ribery was the one who took the ball from the winger. At this moment, Franck Ribery was really too sharp. Obviously, he had returned to his peak state last season, even more awesome than last season’s peak state.
The Chelsea players frowned and were very nervous.
With a bang, Franck Ribery suddenly shifted his long kick and the football flew to the other side. Just as the football was about to fly out of the bottom line, Joaquin caught up to the football and stepped into Chelsea’s restricted area.
The Chelsea fans were shocked and exclaimed, “It’s dangerous!”
John Terry jumped high and headed the ball. But the football was pushed hard by Luca Tony, who was beside him. Unfortunately, the football was saved by Peter Cech.
The corner kick, the Leeds United team once again obtained the corner kick.
Zhong Cheng watched quietly from the sidelines. Leeds United occupied the absolute peak. However, Zhong Cheng was still somewhat worried. He couldn’t help but turn to look at José Mourinho.
José Mourinho was too calm. He was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the breeze could not cause a single ripple.
Zhong Cheng knew that José Mourinho was confident.
Zhong Cheng knew that José Mourinho was definitely plotting something.
Indeed, this fellow José Mourinho is not that easy to deal with!
Zhong Cheng turned around and continued to stare at the stadium. He also knew that the high spirits of the Leeds United players were not right. If they continued to be so high, Leeds United would be in danger.
Joan Gourcuff curled the ball into Chelsea’s box, which was chaotic. In the end, Compani jumped up high and smashed his head into the goal. Unfortunately, the football was slightly higher than the beam and directly flew out of the bottom line.
Leeds United fans sighed in disappointment.
The Chelsea fans escaped a calamity, surviving the calamity!
Petr Cech pushed the ball out with a big foot and Drogba was suppressed by Pique, who pushed the ball out.
Looks like Leeds United’s morale has really reached its peak. All of them have gained strength. It was so good that the Chelsea fans didn’t even have a chance.
At this time, Chelsea have stepped up their long range shots.
With a bang, Lampard shot the ball explosively. The football couldn’t be suppressed, but unfortunately, it missed the post on the right side of the goal. The Chelsea fans all sighed in disappointment.
Three minutes later, Chelsea came back, but when Drogba swung his leg and shot from afar, the football was directly stabbed by Albertini.
Albertini’s performance today was truly amazing. He did not look like a veteran at all, let alone a retiring veteran.
Seeing Albertini’s performance, Leeds United fans felt it was a pity. How could such a veteran retire? He should stay on the pitch. He still belongs on the pitch.
Drogba immediately turned to look at Albertini before leaving.
“Wow, Albertini’s performance today was really great. How could he look like an old man who is about to retire? If it was me, I would definitely play for another two seasons. I definitely wouldn’t retire at this time, absolutely!” Eddie Gray said.
The Chelsea fans on the sidelines were shocked. The Leeds United were in such good shape that they exploded. How could Chelsea play? The Chelsea fans were not confident enough, but they still did not give up, frantically cheering for the Chelsea team, encouraging the Chelsea players to let them attack.
At this time, the football flew quickly to the right, and the football came to Joaquin’s feet.
Joaquin pretended to pull the ball and suddenly passed the ball to the bottom line. Gary Kelly, who was on the wing, continued to pull the ball to the side, instantly overtaking Chelsea’s full-back and catching up to the ball.
Although Gary Kelly’s speed had decreased a little, he still looked very good. This time, he had put in an assist to show his ability.
After catching up with the football, Gary Kelly kicked the ball and it quickly flew forward. Luca Tony, who was rushing up, leapt to the top and smashed his head towards the football. The football shot towards Chelsea’s goal.
Fortunately, Peter Cech was in front of the goal, otherwise the goal would have been scored without a doubt.
Chelsea fans watched with cold sweat. Today’s Leeds United attack was really too sharp. They really didn’t have much to do. Some of them couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Hehe! All of you, concentrate and follow your men. Don’t give them a chance to shoot easily!” Petr Cech roared. He really couldn’t help it. The defense was too loose today. How could he give the other team a chance to shoot so easily?
The Chelsea defenders were really unspeakable. Today, the Leeds United players were like they were drugged. They were all perversely strong and couldn’t defend against them even if they wanted to.
However, the Chelsea defenders have all told Peter Cech that they will do their best to keep up with the Leeds United players and will never give them such an easy shot again.
Corner kick, Leeds United get another corner kick.
The corner was not served by Joan Gourcuff but by full-back Gary Kelly. Joan Gourcuff and Albertini stood at the front of the box, left and right, like two turrets, and the Chelsea man had to take note.
Chelsea’s letting-go players’ minds were immediately diverted to two places, feeling a little concerned about one thing and losing the other.
It was at this moment that Gary Kelly suddenly curled the ball away and it flew towards the back of the restricted area. Pique leapt high and crushed Ricardo Carvalho into the Chelsea goal.
The football flew straight into the back corner of the goal!
