The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 732

732 A Short Succession of Strikes

Soon, fifteen minutes passed.

The second half of Leeds United’s game against Manchester City began, and it was City who kicked off the second half.

Manchester City launched a shocking attack from the start.

Football was quickly squeezed into the ribs of Leeds United’s box from midfielder Elarno’s slanted kick. This position is very dangerous.

Zhong Cheng directly jumped up from his seat, his eyes wrinkled tightly.

Zhong Cheng had stressed that he had to maintain a good position between them during the half-time break. A few minutes later, the Leeds United players forgot that when winger Aver rushed forward, the midfielder’s back and centre-back were slow, giving the Manchester City man a chance.

Manchester City’s Italian striker Bojinov took the ball and suddenly slammed the ball sideways, attracting the Leeds United centre-back to move sideways. Bojinov quickly knocked the ball to the outside, which was the side of the sideline, instantly shaking away the Leeds United centre-back.

Zhong Cheng abruptly closed his eyes. Leeds United had underestimated Manchester City and Bojinov.

Bojinov is a talented Italian striker. He has performed very well in Fiorentina and has attracted the attention of many big clubs, especially the Rossoneri and Bayern Munich.

This fellow had some strength and potential. Unfortunately, he did not have a good grasp of himself in the future. He had wasted his talent.

However, Bojinov was still quite good at this moment, and he managed to dodge Peeker.

Then Bojinov swung his leg and shot, and with a bang, the football flew towards the corner of Leeds United’s goal.

The football flew close to the turf like grass.

The Leeds United fans were so scared they broke out in cold sweat.

Right at this moment, Zhong Zheng flew over to the side of the turf, lightly stretching his ape arm, sealing the lower corner of the goal and blocking the football from the bottom line!

“Wow, beautiful occasionally, Aldrich! It’s Aldrich again! His save was too timely, too beautiful, perfect!” Eddie Gray was shocked, but he still cried out frantically to applaud Zhong Zheng.

The Leeds United fans were also shocked. They kept applauding, giving Zhong Zheng encouragement and encouraging themselves.

Corner kicks, Manchester City get the chance to get a corner kick.

At this time, Mark Hughes was very serious and instructed the City defenders not to give Leeds a chance to counterattack and set up a defensive line.

Looks like the counterattack in the first half made them pay attention.

A corner kick. Manchester City got a corner kick. Martin Petrov curled the ball into Leeds United’s box. Dunn jumped up high, but Pique took the lead, heading out of the baseline and continuing the corner kick.

Martin Petrov served at almost the same angle and line, but the ball still didn’t escape Pique’s blockade. The football was pushed out of the baseline again, and Manchester City continued to corner the ball.

During this period of time, the game was really too tense. The Leeds United fans on the scene were speechless.

Zhong Cheng stood calmly by the side of the field and quietly looked at the field.

Martin Petrov played the football again, this time from the same angle and line. It seemed that Martin Petrov was really fighting against Leeds.

Unfortunately, the ball was directly held in Zhong Zheng’s arms and did not pose any major threat.

City fans were disappointed.

On this side, Leeds United launched another quick counterattack, and Zhong Zheng once again threw the ball with all his might. Football was at the feet of Samir Nasri, who moved forward quickly, but the Manchester City players had made tight arrangements and Samir Nasri saw no chance to pass the ball back.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Mark Hughes really did have some energy, not bad.

It was at this moment that the Leeds United began their offensive. At this time, the Leeds United team was different from the previous Leeds United team. Their offensive positions were very smooth, and they had a lot of tricks. The Manchester City players were only tired of defending.

At this moment, midfielder Luka Modric suddenly launched a heavy artillery bombardment at the front of the restricted area. The football flew in an arc towards Manchester City’s goal, which shocked the City fans.

Unfortunately, the football was still slightly out of the goal.

Zhong Cheng also felt extremely regretful. Leeds United’s shooting was just a little bit lacking!

Unfortunately, it was a great pity!

Mark Hughes wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Zhong Cheng had evolved again. He was even more powerful than last season. It seemed that Leeds United were even harder to deal with this season.

Goalball. Manchester City sent the ball out.

Bianchi jumped high in the front court to head back and the ball landed at Giovanni Gheovanni’s feet. Giovanni immediately slanted the ball to the side, where Erano immediately crossed the line with the Irish midfielder. Erano immediately drove the ball at high speed and rushed to the bottom line. Without looking, he curved the ball into the Leeds United box.

In the restricted area of Leeds United, Pique was rushing out. He was going to block Elarno. Unexpectedly, it was already too late.

Pique shook his head slightly. He didn’t think the ball was a threat. The attackers in the middle of Manchester City definitely didn’t have time to catch up.

However, as soon as Pick turned around, he was stunned.

In Peeker’s eyes, Bianci, who was rushing up, had already jumped high, and he had even carried Kongpani behind him. It was dangerous!

This ball had almost arrived near the small forbidden area. Even Zhong Zheng couldn’t intercept such a close-range header.

Sure enough, Bianchi smashed his head into the football and it flew into Leeds United’s goal.

In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng jumped up high, raised his hands high, and did not block the football. The football quickly flew into the goal.

Manchester City equalised 1-1!

The people of Manchester City who came from afar were really excited and excited. They were all jumping up and down like crazy, and their voices were about to go hoarse from excitement.

Mark Hughes jumped up excitedly, like an excited child, waving his fists, jumping up and down.

Zhong Cheng shook his head helplessly.

Zhong Cheng had reminded him many times that he must pay attention to the positions between his teammates and must pay attention to them. But this time, it was Leeds United players who failed to protect each other, allowing City to score goals.

Zhong Cheng sighed slightly. It seemed that this problem was still quite serious.

In this match, Leeds United had already encountered this kind of problem many times.

Losing the ball wasn’t scary, what was scary was losing the ball continuously!

Therefore, Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines and reminded the players of Leeds United to pay attention to defense and maintain a good distance between them and their teammates. The pace of the snatch must be the same, absolutely cannot give Manchester City any opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhong Cheng repeatedly stressed on the sidelines that he absolutely couldn’t let such a problem arise again.

“It’s a goal! Manchester City’s attack this time is really good, Bianchi’s heading ability is really good. There’s something wrong with Leeds United’s defense this time, Compani’s follow-up and Pique’s attack are much slower, which is rare in previous matches!” Eddie Gray said immediately.

“Yes, it can be seen that the Leeds United are not at their best right now!” Mark Lawrenson could tell, he said.

Actually, the defense this time had nothing to do with Compani. The main reason was that Pique’s footsteps were a little slower and the signal to Compani was a little late. If Pique had arrived earlier, Compani would not have given Bianchi such a chance.

Pique was also aware of his own problems and raised his hand to signal to the Leeds United players that it was their fault.

Sure enough, there was no invincible person in this world. No matter how strong a person was, they would still make mistakes!

Leeds United kicked off quickly, but they didn’t press forward immediately and didn’t act rashly. The Leeds United were in control and had begun their offensive.

Leeds United players pass the ball up and prepare for a fatal blow.

Manchester City’s players also seemed to be leisurely, as if they had no intention of taking risks. The game seemed to have fallen silent, but it was at this moment that Leeds United defender Muhammad Sissoko made a mistake in passing the ball forward.

This was caused by the lack of tacit understanding between Muhammad Sissoko and Leeds United’s players. After all, Muhammad Sissoko was a new player and he hadn’t been with Leeds United for a long time. He had a tacit understanding problem with his teammates when passing the ball.

The football was cut off halfway by Manchester City player Ireland.

Muhammad Sissoko realized something was wrong with his own high-speed dribble after the interception and rushed to Ireland to prepare for the shovel.

Ireland saw through Muhammad Sissoko’s intentions and suddenly passed the ball to the side, where Martin Petrov cut inside and shot.

The football whistled towards Leeds United’s goal. The speed of the ball was so fast that Manchester City fans jumped up.

Unfortunately, the football was directly saved by Zhong Zheng, who was at the early stage of the sideways flight.

“Nice save! Sure enough, Aldrich is the most trustworthy player. He did a great job. Good job, very good job!” Eddie Gray said excitedly.

Leeds United fans roared with applause.

The corner kick, the Manchester City team obtained the corner kick opportunity once again.

Leeds United’s forbidden area was tense, and Mark Hughes was also setting up City’s defensive line. He definitely couldn’t give Leeds United a chance to retaliate.

At this moment, Martin Petrov raised his head to look at the Leeds United box. Then, he sprinted forward and slammed his foot into the ball. The ball flew into the Leeds United box.

This time, Martin Petrov finally made a change. He drove the football backwards.

Peek and Compani both rushed to the front point, and the back point instantly leaked out.

Winger Sagna, who was at the back, was ready to jump when he saw the ball, but he instantly found himself unable to do so because the old Manchester City captain, Dunn, had already jumped high behind him.

With a bang, Dunn smashed his head into the football, which shot towards Leeds United’s goal like a loaded cannonball.

In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng subconsciously reached out to intercept the football. However, although the football changed lines, the football still flew into the goal of Leeds United.

Two to one!

Manchester City scored two goals in three minutes, reversing the score!
