The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 759
759 Champions League Attack for New Season
Leeds beat Arsenal 5-0 at their home stadium in Elland Road.
After this result came out, the entire British continent was in a state of shock. Everyone cried out in shock, “Impossible!”
Isn’t Leeds United the team that should be on the relegation list? How could they beat Arsenal at the top of the Premier League so quickly?
Many people didn’t believe it!
Many people were directly slapped in the face!
At this time, many people could only hide and face no one.
At the press conference after the race, Zhong Cheng said, “Kevin Blackwell, where are you from? What do you have to say now? Oh, I already know your virtues. You’re all cowards!”
The reporters’ faces tightened. This fellow Madman Loria was truly vindictive!
After the game, Ars è ne Wenger did not appear at the press conference and slipped away early. Apparently, Ars è ne Wenger is too embarrassed to see anyone!
After the game, the Times of England reported: “Shocked! Leeds United beat Arsenal with five goals!”
The Times has repeatedly used the words “shock” and “extreme shock” to describe the game. They never expected Leeds United to be so ferocious and do this to Arsenal.
The Times also claimed: “The omnipotent Leeds United are back and it looks like the Premier League is going to be a bloody new season!”
This round of matches is over and Arsenal, who lost by a large margin, clearly have no face to stay at the top of the Premier League. They gave it up to Liverpool. Liverpool topped the table with 18 points. Manchester United are tied with Arsenal for 17 points, but Manchester United are second and Arsenal third in the net.
Ranked fourth was Sheffield Wednesday and fifth was Manchester City.
Leeds United, who have won four consecutive games, now have 12 points, reaching eighth place in the league, tied with Portsmouth, who are ninth in the league, but have an advantage on the net.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, who are ranked tenth in the Premier League, Jos é Mourinho is in a precarious position.
Zhong Cheng is a good reputation, oh to think about the league, the next Champions League group game will start.
Leeds United’s first-round opponent was Seville, who had a deep grudge against them.
That year, in the UEFA Cup final, Leeds United beat Sevilla to win the UEFA Cup, creating a miracle. Seville had become a foil, becoming the most tragic background emperor. Naturally, they hoped that they would be able to dispel their shame.
Jimenez, who took over from Sevilla this year, said: “I don’t know about the three-year UEFA Cup final. It has nothing to do with us. We have only one goal now: to get out of this group and reach the last 16 of the Champions League.”
Yes, Jimenez’s goal is clear.
Zhong Cheng did not know much about the current Seville team, which was very different from three years ago.
However, something big happened in Seville this season, attracting the attention of the whole world.
It was Sevilla’s young midfielder, Puerta, who suddenly fell to the ground and died against Getafe without a match. It was later reported that Puerta died of a heart attack.
It was a huge sensation when the whole world fell silent for Puerto Rico.
Sometimes life is so fragile!
Moreover, Puerta was still a very young life. Who would have thought that in his most brilliant years, he would disappear without a hitch?
The Seville team could now be said to be a mournful soldier!
An army burning with indignation is bound to win!
Therefore, Zhong Cheng was very careful. He had to go all out against Seville. For the Champions League, Zhong Cheng is naturally bound to win.
The game was played at Leeds United’s home stadium in Elland Road and there weren’t many fans, even less than a thousand people, away from home.
Today, Zhong Cheng’s squad was 4-1-3-2. The list was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Gareth Bale, Pique, Hummel and Glen Johnson
Single waist: Sedu Keita
Three avant-garde “Left to Right”: Samir Nasri, Joan Gourcuff and Joaquin
Twin strikers: Luca Toni and Alexander Pato
This was the starting line-up for Leeds United’s game, and there were many changes in the league. Zhong Cheng was rotating.
Jimenez of Seville, on the other hand, has a 4-4-1-1 formation, as follows:
Goalkeeper: Palop
Four defenders “from left to right”: Dragutinovic, Escud, Facio and Alves
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Capel, Marty, Paulson and Jesus Navas
Single waist: Fabiano
Single forward: Kanut
This is Sevilla’s starting line-up for this game. Sevilla captain Maresca did not appear in the starting line-up today, but instead appeared on the bench.
Maresca is a skilled midfielder. In the UEFA Cup final that year, Maresca caused a lot of trouble for Leeds United. This guy is very strong.
However, he did not appear in the starting lineup for this match.
Also sitting on the bench of Sevilla is Russian national team’s strong striker Korzakov, this is also a scoring machine, it can be seen that Sevilla’s lineup is very powerful.
Zhong Cheng could tell from their starting lineup.
Brazilian striker Fabiano, who was a scoring machine in Seville, was selected to be the main striker of the Brazilian national team. His strength was very good.
Likewise, Kanut is also a scoring machine, often playing immortal balls in Seville. In his memories, this fellow helped Seville win the UEFA Cup and was one of the makers of the Seville Cup.
The midfielder, Jesus Navas, was very young, but he was very fast and his technique was very good. However, he was a typical classical winger and only knew that his inner cutting ability was negligible in the bottom cross.
However, it was precisely this way that he was in danger in Seville.
Canute and Fabiano are both very strong forward at Sevilla. Along with a very powerful cross from the bottom, Jesus Navas, Seville’s attack was naturally very, very sharp.
At the back, right-back Danny Alves is also impressive. This is the Brazilian full-back who joined Barcelona and won countless championships with Barcelona.
To be honest, Zhong Cheng had taken a fancy to Danny Alves this summer, but Daniel Alves, a Brazilian citizen, was not selected for the Brazilian national team, could not get a labor permit, and Seville’s asking price was ridiculous, so Zhong Cheng did not consider Danny Alves.
Overall, the Seville team is very strong.
Against this team, Zhong Cheng was naturally very careful. He would not repeat Arsène Wenge’s mistakes. Zhong Cheng reminded the players of Leeds United that they must take this game seriously and win it.
On the other side, the English media were on the same side.
Although a lot of media are not optimistic about Leeds United, but in the Champions League, the English media reporters still cheered Leeds United, hoping that Leeds United can defeat Seville.
In addition, Leeds United had defeated Seville in the UEFA Cup and the English media were full of confidence in Leeds United.
However, Sevilla had given Leeds United a blow at the start of the match.
Sevilla’s winger attack was really sharp. The threat came from the winger, Jesus Navas. This guy was short, very fast, and very agile. He directly fell on Gareth Bale. Then, he directly kicked the ball and sent it into the restricted area of Leeds United.
In the forbidden area, Fabiano and Canute formed a double ghost door!
With a bang, Canute jumped up high and smashed the football towards Leeds United’s goal. The speed of the ball was extremely fast.
Unfortunately, the football was still jumped up by Zhong Zheng, slapping the bottom line for a single palm.
The Leeds United fans were frightened to death. The goal was too dangerous, as if they were going to score a goal in football. Fortunately, Zhong Zheng displayed his courage. As expected, he was worthy of being called the number one country in England.
Zhong Zheng immediately stood up and shouted at the Leeds United defenders, “Defend! All of you, watch your men!”
Hummels immediately nodded to Zhong Zheng and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t give him another chance!”
Zhong Zheng patted Hummels on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid, just keep your eyes on him. He won’t be able to resist you!”
Hummels nodded firmly and walked up to Kanut.
Sure enough, Kanut’s threat dropped and the corner kicked out. It flew straight to Canute, who the Sevillas believe will be able to finish off the young centre-back at Malazzi United. This was also one of their tactics in this match.
However, the football was pushed out of the restricted area by Hummels.
Canute was completely held back and didn’t even jump up.
The football flew out of the restricted area and Sedu Keita immediately brought it to Yoan Gourcuff. Unfortunately, Seville defender Danny Alves came up in time to stab the football under Yoan Gourcuff’s feet.
However, the soccer ball rolled towards Sedu Keita.
Sedu Keita saw Gareth Bale thrust forward from the wings. He kicked the ball and it flew out to the left of the front court.
When the Sevillas saw the pass, they were all shocked and thought that it was dangerous,
Gareth Bale easily stopped the football on the side and sped it forward.
In front of Gareth Bale was the Hu-Rumble Prairie!
Danny Alves had already rushed out to intercept Joan Gourcuff, and the journey was completely empty.
Coupled with the corner kick from Sevilla, everyone except the two full-backs rushed into the Leeds United box. Now the Sevilla backcourt was completely empty!
“What a chance! Gareth Bale has a long way to go. Leeds United’s chance has come!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly, his voice trembling.
