The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 754
754 Ghost Spirit, Ghost Spirit’s Madman Roja
Before the match, the interviews between the two teams didn’t seem to be filled with gunpowder!
However, both teams showed strong confidence!
This match must be a very exciting and exciting match. The fans on the scene couldn’t wait any longer.
Yes, Leeds United’s Elland Road Stadium is now full.
However, the Elland Road Stadium was indeed too small!
The Elland Road Stadium could accommodate more than 30,000 people, not even 40,000. It’s just too small for Leeds United right now. Almost every league game is full, and many people don’t have tickets yet. They just stand outside and watch the big screen.
That’s why previous Leeds Presidents wanted to move the stadium.
The Elland Road Stadium restricts the development of Leeds United and the stadium must be improved. Either relocation or expansion.
However, the stadium in Elland Road is very difficult to expand!
Therefore, the previous chairmen all meant to move, and they had done many investigations, and the fans all hoped to be able to move. However, those chairmen didn’t work long afterwards, and in the end, this idea was not settled.
Later, after Zhong Cheng went on stage, he also made an investigation. Unfortunately, because of the fanatical boycott at that time, the fans all refused to move, hoping to expand the stadium.
For this reason, this matter was put on hold.
However, Zhong Cheng’s status with the Leeds United became higher and higher, and the Leeds United fans became more and more supportive of Zhong Cheng. This matter was finally settled. Earlier this year Leeds United took a piece of land from the Leeds government, in Piston, where they will build a new stadium.
Now, Leeds United’s new stadium is under construction. Architectural teams from China are building a new stadium for Leeds United. Leeds United’s new stadium has not been officially ordered yet, but is temporarily referred to as “Piston Stadium”.
However, online and Leeds United fans are discussing the name of the new stadium. Some like the name “Rose Bowl”, some like the name “Crown Stadium”, and some call it “Loria Stadium”.
At this time, someone had made a preliminary count. There were already 228 confirmed names for this stadium on the Internet. Moreover, this name was still rising crazily. There was still no conclusion as to what the name of the new stadium of the Leeds United team was.
Now, Leeds United fans want to enter the new stadium to watch Leeds United play.
Because the capacity of the Elland Road Stadium is really too small, and the capacity of the new Leeds United Stadium will reach more than 68,500 people. Moreover, this stadium could be expanded in the future. If it was expanded to the maximum, this stadium could accommodate a total of 90,000 people!
Therefore, Leeds United’s new stadium was very impressive and domineering.
Leeds United fans were eager to throw themselves into the new stadium. However, the new stadium was still under construction!
Right now, the Elland Road Stadium is filled with people, and there are still many people who haven’t entered.
Moreover, the visiting Arsenal team did not get many away tickets. Only two to three thousand and two breast milk entered the stadium. There were still a lot of Arsenal fans wearing red shirts on the stadium. For this reason, there were a lot of security personnel and police outside the arena. They were guarding this place because they were deeply afraid of what kind of conflict would happen between the fans on both sides?
The atmosphere was already very intense, and the competition was about to begin.
–Division Line–
“Hello, spectators and fans! This is BBC Sports. I am the familiar Mark Lauren color!” The game was broadcast live by the BBC and Mark Lawrenson is sitting in the commentator’s seat at the Elland Road Stadium.
“Hello, everyone. I am Eddie Gray, whom you are familiar with. Today, I, Mark Lawrenson, am still my partner in explaining this match!” Leeds United star Eddie Gray went on to explain the game.
“Today, we are going to play the eighth Premier League game of the 2007-2008 season against Leeds United and Arsenal!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“This game is the focus of this round. There are many stories between the two teams. Arsenal are very strong now. They have played seven rounds in the Premier League and they are five wins and two draws. Stones are very good. They are top of the Premier League and they are super strong!” Eddie Gray said.
“Leeds United’s performance since the start of the season has been terrible. There were a lot of problems at the beginning of the league and they lost four games in a row. Although this was related to Roja’s suspension, the result was really bad. However, it was not bad recently. Leeds United won three games in a row. Now the points are up and they are finally in the top ten!” Said Mark Lawrenson.
“Sure enough, Roja is the soul of Leeds United. With him and without him, Leeds United are two completely different teams. This game is very important for Leeds United. If Leeds United’s goal this season is still to win the Premier League, then they must win this game!” Eden Gray was blunt.
Yes, if Leeds United don’t win this round, the difference between them and Arsenal will be 11 points. That’s a big difference. It would be very difficult for Leeds United to catch up.
Mark Lawrenson also said, “every game now is very important to Leeds United, “The Premier League has been a race for hegemony these two seasons. There are far too many teams who have a chance of winning the Premier League. Leeds United are not just against Arsenal. If they fall too far behind at this time, Leeds United have no chance of winning the Premier League!”
As the commentators said, Leeds United fans were naturally very nervous. Leeds United are in a terrible situation and they are in desperate need of victory.
And against Arsenal, Leeds United can only win occasionally and not lose.
“Before the match, both sides played very well and they were confident. What do you think of the match?” Eddie Gray suddenly asked.
Mark Lawrenson was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected Eddie Gray to suddenly ask this question, which confused him.
Mark Lawrenson took a while to react and said: “To tell you the truth, I want to look at Leeds United. But Arsenal are in great shape and haven’t lost yet. It reminds me of Arsenal in 2003-04.”
Eddie Gray was shocked and immediately said, “You mean you thought of the undefeated Arsenal team?”
Mark Lawrenson nodded slightly and immediately said, “Yes!”
Eddie Gray shook his head slightly. It seemed that Mark Lawrenson was really optimistic about Arsenal.
–Division Line–
At this moment, the players from both sides had already walked out of the dressing room.
As the owner of the Elland Road Stadium, Zhong Cheng walked towards the coaching staff of the visiting team and extended his right hand to Arsène Wenge from afar. He then said, “Welcome to Elland Road, Professor Wenger!”
Arsène Wenge chuckled and said, “I’m here to take away the victory. You also welcome me?”
Zhong Cheng grinned slightly and said, “There are many people who want to win from Elland Road, but there are only a few so far. I think you should think about how you can get a few goals in this match.”
Arsène Wenge was not angry, but said indifferently, “You mean your Leeds United are going to attack this game?”
Zhong Chengshi laughed and said, “Mr. Wenger, you are so funny!”
With that, Zhong Cheng turned around and walked towards his coaching seat.
Arsène Wenge’s eyes were fixated on Zhong Cheng’s back, his mind spinning rapidly, guessing what Zhong Cheng meant by what he had just said.
“Mad Roja, did he really mean to attack? Or did he give me the wrong impression? Or did he disturb my mind before the match?”
Arsène Wenge thought carefully.
After a while, Arsène Wenge smiled and thought to himself, “This damn brat is really a ghost spirit. I didn’t expect that there would be so many sects. I almost fell for this brat’s trap!”
Arsène Wenge shook his head slightly.
Arsène Wenge has made up his mind that at this time, he will not guess and care about your Leeds United. He just needs to do his part for their Arsenal team.
If Arsenal do their best, they will be able to instantly kill everything!
Only then did Arsène Wenge safely return to his seat and sit down. Everything that Madman Loria had just done had become useless. Perhaps this fellow still didn’t know?
This match is really interesting!
Commentator Mark Lawrenson immediately said: “Alright, now that the players from both sides have appeared on the pitch, let’s introduce the starting lineup for today!”
The first names of the two sides today are as follows:
Visiting team: Arsenal, head coach: Arsène Wenge, formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Jens Lehmann
Four defenders “from left to right”: Crissy, Senderos, Kolo Toure and Eboue
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini and Walcott
Twin strikers: Adebayor and Van Persie
This is the starting line-up for Arsenal today. It is obvious that there has been a big change from last season. Arsenal’s core player, French striker Henry, known as the King of Highbury, has already left. It is time for the Arsenal team to be renewed.
There are a lot of young people in the Arsenal squad right now, and many English media have claimed that Arsenal are going to do the same; And the Young Guards?
Amongst them, Walcott and the others were very young, especially Walcott. He was only 18 years old now and had already made his debut. He was very powerful. Arsène Wenge is also very bold. Looks like today is the battle over who is the Young Guards Army.
Home: Leeds United, Coach: Zhong Cheng, Formation: 4-1-3-2
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Pique, Gary Cahill and Sagna
Single waist: Sedu Keita
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Joan Gourcuff, Luca Modric and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Edinson Cavani
This is the starting line-up for Leeds United today, and it is clear that there has been some change. After Kompani was injured at the back, he was replaced by Gary Cahill, a weakness of Leeds United, which Arsenal are sure to attack.
Mohamed Sissoko was injured on the back of his waist and Sedu Keita climbed to the top.
One of the most unexpected things was that Joan Gourcuff appeared in the starting lineup today, but not at the waist, but at the left wing. Looks like Yoann Gourcuff should be positioned at the front of the waist, so full-back Patrick Aver should be able to pull forward a lot more times.
