The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 715
715 Call from Mr. Mourinho
Goal!
Muhammad Sissoko scored!
Muhammad Sissoko is over 1.9 metres tall and the Japanese can only hope for a sigh of relief.
Zhong Cheng gave face to the Japanese again, exchanging Alexander Song for Muhammad Sissoko. But at the end of the game. Leeds United once again used a corner to break through Osaka Igamba’s goal. The goal was scored by Pique, who was also over 1.9 meters tall.
Japan’s Osaka Steinbahn was overturned by Leeds United with a header.
Leeds United beat Osaka Ibara 5-0 in Tokyo and slapped the Japanese media in the face. The Japanese media had lost all face. Like the Korean media, they had vented all their anger on Osaka Iguchi, causing the players of Osaka Iguchi to cut their bellies and commit suicide!
After the match, the Japanese media clamored very loudly!
The Japanese media believed that the main responsibility for the loss lay with Osaka Takaba. They could obviously play better, but they did not work hard in the match, damaging the image of Japanese football. This group of people should be pulled out and shot to death, and they should take the initiative to cut off their bellies.
The Japanese media also listed many figures, saying that if Osaka Takashi had gone all out, the match would not have been so miserable. Osaka Tamba is a disgrace to Japanese football, and it is this group of people who have discredited Japanese football.
These Japanese media still do not recognize the strength of Leeds United, they still think that Japanese football can defeat Leeds United, only Osaka Steel Ba this trash can not.
Of course, there are still a lot of people in the Japanese media who admit the truth.
The biggest difference between most Japanese and South Korean media is that they can admit defeat and admit some facts objectively.
Many Japanese media also claimed that Japan’s football team was not a match for Leeds United. Leeds United are so strong that even the Japanese national team can only lose against Leeds United.
They also praised Zhong Cheng, claiming that Zhong Cheng was the strongest head coach in Asia, even a world-class coach. Under his guidance, Leeds United was very powerful.
They also admit their pre-match mistakes and they are a bit arrogant.
And this kind of media is the majority in Japan!
This is different from the South Korean media, the South Korean domestic media is still sophistry. The claim that South Korean football is strong, this time against Leeds United, is largely due to the Seoul FC players’ own problems.
The South Korean media have lashed out at Seoul’s FC, claiming it is simply a cancer of South Korean football. It was they who tarnished the glorious image of Korean football. This group of people should feel ashamed and should take the initiative to take responsibility!
In any case, at this time, the Japanese and Korean media were making quite a ruckus.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Zhong Cheng and Leeds United, and Leeds United’s Asian tour had ended here.
–Division Line–
Zhong Chengshi led the Leeds United players back to Leeds, England. They were going to take a few days off to give the Leeds United players a good rest for two days. Then the team will gather again, and then make the final preparations for the new season, which will soon arrive.
When the players were on holiday, Zhong Cheng did not.
Zhong Cheng had a lot of things to do right now, and the most important thing was to attract reinforcements.
Leeds United are not done yet, and they still need to bring in a right-back, a waist and a winger.
At this time, the winger that Zhong Cheng was eyeing was Christie Ronaldo’s junior brother, Nani, who was currently playing for Athletic Lisbon, Portugal.
However, there are a lot of clubs who have taken a fancy to Nani, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Chelsea have left Arjen Robben and although they have brought in Malouda it is not enough. They have taken a fancy to Nani.
Bayern Munich originally wanted to bring in Franck Ribery, but at first Leeds United were reluctant to make a move. They could only start Plan B, which was Nani of Portugal’s Athletic Lisbon.
Manchester United have always been interested in Athletic Lisbon’s Nani, as Cristiano Ronaldo has recently been clamouring to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid.
Because Cristiano Ronaldo is in conflict with Wayne Rooney and some other players, especially Wayne Rooney. The conflict between them had long since become public, though it was suppressed by Sir Alex Ferguson, and everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was a grudge between the two, who were good friends. In fact, there has always been a lump between them, which is why Cristiano Ronaldo in the transfer window always want to leave.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been pressing Cristiano Ronaldo not to leave because Alex Ferguson is really optimistic about Cristiano Ronaldo and he hasn’t found a replacement yet.
At this time, Queiroz recommended another Portuguese to him, not Quaresma, but Nani. Nani was indeed very similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. He had gorgeous skills, liked people, and was also very fast. He was indeed worthy of being Cristiano Ronaldo’s junior brother.
Previously, Alex Ferguson did not immediately bring Nani in because he is still young and he hopes that you can train with Athletic Lisbon for another two years and bring him back when you grow up.
Now it’s obvious that Alex Ferguson is hoping to bring in Nani.
However, there are already many clubs interested in Nani at this time. With Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Leeds United, Manchester United have many more competitors.
Alex Ferguson is also very nervous and Nani is very important to them.
Now these teams are chasing Nani.
Zhong Cheng had asked DiMatteo to talk about Nani, but Zhong Cheng was still optimistic about Nani.
However, Leeds United may not really need Nani.
Because there are still a lot of wingers in the Leeds United team, such as Samir Nasri, Watkin, Shao Jiayi, Eden Azar, Debrone and injured Franck Ribery. The reason Zhong Cheng wanted to bring in Nani was because Neil Franck Ribery was currently injured, and Eden Azar and De Brunei were really too young, so they needed a winger.
However, if Nani really couldn’t be brought in, it wouldn’t be a big deal for Leeds United.
However, Zhong Cheng still hoped that Leeds United would go all out to negotiate with Nani.
To be able to dig into the corner of Manchester United and weaken their opponents, Leeds United should naturally do such a thing.
–Division Line–
While Leeds United were pursuing Nani, Zhong Cheng received a phone call.
Zhong Cheng picked up the phone and frowned slightly. He really didn’t expect him to call.
Zhong Cheng answered immediately, “Mr. Mourinho, it’s really rare. I didn’t expect you to call me!”
Yes, it was Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho who called Zhong Cheng.
Jose Mourinho was expected to leave Chelsea and be fired after last season’s clash with Abramovich. Unexpectedly, Jos é Mourinho is still the Chelsea manager.
This surprised Zhong Cheng. What exactly was going on?
Jose Mourinho immediately said: “Well, Mr. Roja, we don’t have to talk anymore. I called you today for one thing!”
Zhong Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”
José Mourinho did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I hope Leeds United can give up on Nani. It will only take your club half a season to bring in Nani. After Franck Ribery recovers from his injury, there will be no place for him!”
Zhong Chengzhen didn’t expect José Mourinho to call him about it.
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said: “There is no need for Mr. Mourinho to be involved in the matter of our Leeds United reinforcements. We have our own plans!”
José Mourinho immediately said: “Your club is really harming him by bringing Nani in. There are too many wingers on your team and he won’t have a chance to go. And I don’t think he would want to go to your Leeds United team either!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Since you don’t think he wants to come to our Leeds United, why did you call me?”
José Mourinho immediately said, “It’s good to have one less competitor, and I hope you won’t raise your price again!”
Yes, José Mourinho doesn’t want Leeds to raise the price anymore.
José Mourinho is no longer trusted as head coach of Chelsea this season, so his transfer fee is modest and he is not as profligate as he was when he first joined Chelsea.
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Why would I do that, Mr. Mourinho?”
José Mourinho seemed to have expected Zhong Cheng to say so. He immediately said, “I heard that your club is looking for a right-back. I can recommend one to you.”
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of someone.
Zhong Cheng immediately asked, “Who is it?”
José Mourinho also did not sell off directly said: “Our club’s Glenn Johnson!”
As Zhong Cheng had imagined, it was Glenn Johnson. Glen Johnson is a talented right-back, but after being bought by Chelsea, his performance at Chelsea has been unsatisfactory. He has gradually lost his place in the first team and has even become a fringe player for Chelsea.
Glen Johnson seems to have left Chelsea this season and moved to Portsmouth,
Glen Johnson is a very special right-back, his assisting ability is very strong, very fast. However, his defense was slightly rough, and it was precisely because his defense was a bit weak that it was not as good as José Mourinho’s eyes.
However, Zhong Cheng knew that this fellow had matured after arriving at Portsmouth. He had made great progress in defense and his assists were getting sharper and sharper. Two years later, he joined Liverpool and performed well at Liverpool.
Zhong Cheng was still interested in this player. Now, Leeds United also needed such a player, so Zhong Cheng’s proposal from José Mourinho was very tempting.
