The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 670
670 He Killed the Suspense of the Game
Two to one!
Leeds United are again ahead of Chelsea with a penalty!
All the Leeds United fans in the new Wembley stadium jumped up, frantically waving their fists and shouting, “Demi! Demi! Our dearest Demi! The great Albertini!”
The Leeds United fans screamed excitedly, their faces flushed with excitement.
“Champion! We are the champions! We are the champions! Champions! Champions!” The Leeds United fans were really excited to the extreme, repeating the words in their mouths to show their intentions.
Albertini, who scored, stood there quietly and stretched out his right hand towards the Leeds United fans in the stands. He looked calm but had a smile on his face.
The Leeds United fans screamed excitedly, but many of them had tears on their faces. They were reluctant to part with Albertini. Such a King player was going to retire. This was a loss to Leeds United and also a loss to the world football community.
Leeds United fans are reluctant to let Albertini go and they hope Albertini will change his mind and stay at Leeds United and in professional football.
However, the Leeds United fans understood what Albertini meant by waving his hand. He was saying goodbye to everyone, but he still wanted to leave.
That’s why Leeds United fans are so sad!
This was the farewell season!
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng repeatedly applauded and gave this veteran a thunderous applause. This veteran was the one who propped up today’s final. He was the one who carried Leeds United to the scene.
Zhong Cheng was truly grateful to this veteran. If not for this veteran, Leeds United would have been very passive today.
Besides him, there was also full-back Gary Kelly. Gary Kelly didn’t score today, but his role was also obvious. He was really good at defending and created a lot of trouble for Chelsea.
And now, this person was about to retire, Zhong Cheng felt very sad in his heart.
Back then, when Zhong Cheng accepted Leeds United, he had received endless questions and criticisms. At that time, Zhong Cheng’s days were extremely sad. However, Gary Kelly stood beside him, supporting him in allowing Zhong Cheng to control the Leeds United team more smoothly and calming down the internal strife.
Zhong Cheng was very grateful to Gary Kelly.
And now Gary Kelly seems to be in good shape, Zhong Cheng is actually hoping that Gary Kelly can stay and play for another season or two. Zhong Cheng had talked to Gary Kelly about this. However, Zhong Cheng still did not make sense. Gary Kelly had made up his mind.
To be able to have such a glorious period at the end of his career, he really felt that it was perfect. And now, he could feel that his body’s function had greatly decreased. It was useless for him to stay any longer. It was better to make way for the young man and let Leeds United have a better future.
After learning of Gary Kelly’s thoughts, Zhong Cheng felt extremely regretful.
Later, Zhong Cheng also invited Gary Kelly to stay at Leeds United as a coach or senior manager, but Gary Kelly refused. He wanted to relax and leave football for a while.
He spent all these years with football, and now it’s time to change his life.
Zhong Cheng understood this!
Actually, Zhong Cheng would rather have Gary Kelly stay behind, be a youth coach at the club, or be the head of youth training, because Gary Kelly is a banner of Leeds United. Gary Kelly played for only one professional team, Leeds United.
Gary Kelly has a high position in the hearts of Leeds United fans and in Leeds United’s club. With him, Leeds United’s youth training has a signboard that will attract more young people to join Leeds United’s youth training.
Unfortunately, Gary Kelly chose to leave football.
Zhong Cheng could only respect Gary Kelly’s choice. However, Zhong Cheng believes that Gary Kelly is inseparable from football. Now give Gary Kelly some time without football and it won’t be long before Gary Kelly comes back.
However, Zhong Cheng’s heart was still filled with bitterness as he looked at the two figures who were about to leave.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng kept applauding, his heart filled with respect.
At the scene, Chelsea fans were booing Leeds United players endlessly. They were not targeting Albertini and Gary Kelly, they were standing on the side of Chelsea fans, expressing their anger and dissatisfaction.
How could Chelsea concede the ball at this time?
Moreover, Chelsea fans hated the referee very much. If it wasn’t for this guy, how could Leeds United get a penalty? If not for the penalty, Chelsea would have fallen behind?
Chelsea fans cursed wildly at the referee of the game.
On the sidelines, Chelsea’s head coach José Mourinho’s expression was gloomy. The changes in the game had really come too quickly and caught him off guard. The situation is really bad now. Although there is still time left for Chelsea, it is still very difficult for the Chelsea man to win the game.
At this moment, José Mourinho really did not think too much about it. He waved his hand and signaled the Chelsea players to press forward. If Chelsea were to take a final risk.
Yes, José Mourinho knew that the Leeds United would now be more comfortable defending against the counterattack. If Chelsea don’t take the initiative, the game will be over.
José Mourinho waved his hand and Chelsea were on the verge of launching an all-out attack.
In the VIP box, Abramovich’s face was ashen and his eyes flashed with anger, “Damn Portuguese, you’re really going to die!”
Kenyon didn’t say anything at the moment, but he was a little excited.
On the pitch, Chelsea immediately launched a ferocious attack. Essien was replaced by Michael Ballack. However, even at this time, José Mourinho did not use Shevchenko’s intention to let Shevchenko sit on the bench.
Lampard suddenly jammed the ball under Drogba, who was about to swing his leg and shoot, but was broken by Kompani. However, the football landed at the feet of the Chelsea man and Arjen Robben curled the ball slightly above the crossbar.
Three minutes later, Chelsea came back, and Salomon Kalou, who was on the side, suddenly sped up and swung open the space before striking. Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by Aver’s stretched leg and Chelsea got a corner kick.
Arjen Robben drove the ball into the Chelsea box, where Riddlesbach headed straight into the goal and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar.
The Chelsea man is really heartbroken. What a good opportunity.
To tell the truth, the Leeds United players were shocked. The ball looked really dangerous and almost scored.
Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players on the sidelines to focus on defense.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng also began to change people. First, he used Darren Bent to replace Luca Tony, who was a good counter-attacker. Evidently, Zhong Cheng is warning Chelsea not to be too arrogant and to be careful of a fire at the back.
However, at this point, Chelsea are out of control.
Also, Zhong Cheng had used Luka Modric to replace Yoan Gourcuff. Yoan Gourcuff’s physical energy consumption was a little high, and he had replaced him with a new force. The last swap spot was still useless in case of a rainy day.
The Chelsea players were frantically attacking, pressing down as a whole and it was clear that they wanted to score.
Michael Ballack crossed the ball diagonally to the right of Leeds United, and Arjen Robben rushed up to catch up with the ball and suddenly returned it.
The football rolled under Ashley Cole’s feet. Ashley Cole pretended to hit the ball with a swing and suddenly knocked the ball horizontally, sending Lampard shooting with a swing.
Chelsea fans were delighted to hear the football whistling towards Leeds United’s goal.
Unfortunately, the football was firmly held in Zhong Zheng’s arms. The Chelsea man was speechless and then terrified as the Leeds United counterattacked quickly.
The Leeds United fans jumped up excitedly and screamed excitedly.
The soccer ball whistled to the side and flew towards Frank Ribery. It was a powerful throw from Zhong Zheng. The grenade was thrown very far and Frank Ribery easily got the soccer ball.
Franck Ribery scored a single goal and faced an empty whoosh. In the Rumble Prairie, the crazy empty space in front of him was left to Franck Ribery to gallop.
Seeing this, all the Chelsea fans closed their eyes in despair.
It’s over. Chelsea are really done for this time.
On the sidelines, the Chelsea substitutes stood up nervously. They were extremely unhappy, extremely uncomfortable, and their faces were extremely ugly.
José Mourinho was even more excited as he shouted for defense, but there was still no effect.
Because there was no one in front of Franck Ribery, Franck Ribery galloped to the side. The defenders in the middle followed closely behind the new Fast Madarren Bent, Chelsea in a very, very bad situation.
Watkin, who was on the right, was also very fast. Right now, Leeds United played three against one in the front court.
No wonder the Chelsea fans shut their eyes in despair. What chance does that have? Can they still defend the ball? Can Paul Ferreira defend against these three alone?
Chelsea fans themselves don’t believe that they are in a very bad mood.
Seeing Franck Ribery turn the ball inwards, Paul Ferreira didn’t dare to rush forward easily because behind him were Darren Bent and Watkin. He really couldn’t stop the three of them by himself. He wasn’t Sun Jihai.
Right now, Chelsea fans really hope that Paul Ferreira can transform into Sun Jihai and complete a three-on-one feat.
However, Franck Ribery had already brought the ball into Chelsea’s box and it was too late for Paulo Ferreira to throw it out. Chelsea fans have freely pinned their hopes on goalkeeper Peter Cech.
Petr Cech is in great shape today and he can save the ball.
But facing Franck Ribery’s sudden shot from high-speed dribbles, Peter Cech pounced in the right direction but failed to stop the ball, which quickly rolled into the goal behind him.
Three to one, Franck Ribery killed the suspense of the game.
All the Chelsea fans looked up and sighed. There was no hope for this match.
In the VIP box, Abramovich fiercely threw the goblet in his hand to the ground, causing glass to splatter everywhere. Abramovich turned around angrily and left.
