The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 797
797 Leeds United Made a Change
Swoosh!
The football quickly flew past Zhong Zheng’s hand and into the goal!
The speed of the ball was really too fast!
The Sheffield Wednesday fans from afar immediately screamed with excitement as they madly shouted Robert Carlos’s name!
‘”Wow! The ball is in! Robert ~ Carlos! Heavy artillery! Robert Carlos is shooting 184 football per hour! My God, this is going to explode!” Mark Lawrenson immediately exclaimed.
Eddie Gray’s heart skipped a beat!
Fortunately, Zhong Zheng didn’t pounce on the ball. If he touched it, his hand would probably be crippled.
The Sheffield Wednesday fans were so excited that they jumped up and rushed to Robert Carlos’s side. Then they jumped up and surrounded Robert Carlos in celebration.
One to one!
Sheffield drew even on Wednesday!
In the VIP box, Kramer roared excitedly as he waved his fists, as if they had already won. Kramer kept turning to look at Tolliver Burch with contempt on his face.
Dudududu!
At this time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly, then turned around and walked back to the dressing room!
Losing the ball at the end of the first half was a terrible thing. Zhong Cheng wanted Ao to go back and adjust, hoping to regain the lead in the second half.
Sheffield’s performance at the end of the first half was unexpectedly impressive. That was because of Robert Carlos’s sudden rise. This fellow was in excellent shape today. If he could not be restrained, Leeds United would have a difficult game.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng was ready to change people, and he already had thoughts in his heart.
The Leeds United players were a little depressed. They were already ahead. However, being equalised at the end of the first half was a very bad mood.
When the Leeds United players returned to the dressing room, they sat there quietly without saying a word.
Looking at the Leeds United players, Zhong Cheng said: “We played well in the first half and were always in the lead.” In the end, it’s not that you didn’t perform well, but Robert Carlos did too well, so you don’t have to worry about it. “We ‘re going to put this behind us and think about how we’ re going to play in the second half.”
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, the Leeds United players nodded in agreement.
Zhong Cheng said directly, “In the first half of the match, Robert Carlos performed very well. His condition has already risen, causing us a lot of trouble. In the second half of the match, we have to limit his performance!”
Leeds United players nodded. Indeed, Robert Carlos put a lot of pressure on them in the second half of the first half. They had to restrict him. Otherwise, Leeds United would not be able to do anything in the second half.
Zhong Cheng continued, “We are ready to adjust in the second half. You play in the second half of Gareth’s game and replace Joaquin!”
The Leeds United players were stunned. What kind of rhythm was this?
No one expected Zhong Cheng to make such a change. None of them understood what was going on.
Gareth Bale was also confused. Was he playing left-back? Why did he go to the right-wing vanguard all of a sudden?
Zhong Cheng said: “In the second half of the game, Gareth served as the team’s right-back.” Your mission here is to restrict Robert Carlos. In other words, you are playing right-back. In fact, it is equivalent to a full-back position being advanced. You go and keep an eye on him. At the same time, you should try your best to use your super speed and breakthrough to suppress Robert Carlos and attack him. Don’t let him easily suppress you, understand? ”
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, the Leeds United players understood.
Zhong Cheng still had his eyes set on Gareth Bale’s defensive ability and asked him to help Bacari Sagna defend on the right.
Gareth Bell understood Zhong Cheng’s words and nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing that Gareth Bell understood, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Then he turned to Leeds United midfielder Luca Modric and said, “Luca, try to block the ball as much as possible in the second half behind Sheffield Wednesday’s two centre-backs. They defend very well head-on and high-altitude, but they’re getting older and have less ability to turn around and chase back, you know?”
Yes, Sheffield Wednesday’s centre-backs Stam and Saul Campbell are tall and strong. They defend very sharply from the front and high altitudes, but their fitness has deteriorated. They are both defending straight shots with experience.
Although the success rate was quite high, it was impossible for them to defeat the whole world by relying on experience.
Luca Modric immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, boss! I know what to do!”
At this moment, Zhong Cheng turned to Edinson Cavani and said, “Edinson, you may need to rest!”
Edinson Cavani was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, “I see, boss!”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Then he turned to Brazilian striker Pato and said, ‘”Alexander, replace Edin in the second half. Play forward. Use your speed and explosiveness to attack Sheffield Wednesday’s centre-back. Keep an eye on Luca’s straight ball. Don’t worry. Neither Stam nor Saul Campbell can keep up with you. Do you know that you’ll be a bug if you go up there?”
Alexander Pato immediately nodded, his eyes even shining with excitement.
Alexander Pato immediately said, “Don’t worry, boss. I know what to do and I won’t disappoint you!”
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with Alexander Pato’s expression and nodded slightly.
Zhong Cheng turned around and said to the Leeds United defenders, “In the second half of the game, we have to keep our defensive line tight. Stand where we are and keep a good distance from our teammates. We are not afraid that others will say that we are dirty. We are afraid of losing the ball, you know?”
The Leeds United defenders nodded and shouted, “Got it, boss!”
Zhong Cheng was very satisfied with the reaction of the players. This was the spirit that Leeds United should have.
Zhong Cheng said directly, “Alright, that’s all we talked about during the break. You guys have to adjust and come out soon!”
The Leeds United players nodded and prepared to go.
In another dressing room was a busy scene. Van Gaal was guiding his players.
“We didn’t do well in the first half,” Van Gaal said. “If Robert hadn’t suddenly stepped out in the second half, we would still be behind.”
Sheffield Wednesday’s players all lowered their heads. Van Gaal was telling the truth!
Van Gaal continued: “Of course, Leeds United are very strong and it would be nice for us to be able to get a commission like this. But this is not what we want. We want victory, victory, you know?”
Sheffield Wednesday’s players nodded in understanding.
Van Gaal said: “In the second half, we focused our attack on the left side, trying to give Robert the strength he needs and give him a way out. Then Vieri and Claras in the middle are ready to play!”
Sheffield Wednesday’s players understood and nodded.
Van Gaal continued: “Leeds United will definitely try to limit Robert in the second half, so Robert won’t hit the goal too many times. Claus and Vieri are coming out!”
Huntelaar and Vieri both nodded in understanding.
Van Gaal continued, “There’s also Van der Vaart on the left. In the second half, our attack on the left looked like it was around Robert Carlos, but you were the center of attack, you know?”
Yes, Van Gaal is prepared to use Robert Carlos as a cover for Van der Vaart as the starting point of the team’s attack.
Sheffield Wednesday’s players were slightly shocked. It turned out that Van Gaal had such a plan. Sheffield Wednesday’s players were immediately filled with confidence and excitement.
Van Gaal immediately said, “The second half is the final match. I hope you can perform well in the second half. Show your strength and spirit. Whether we can leave Elland Road with three points in this match will depend on your next performance.”
The Sheffield Wednesday players immediately shouted, “I see, boss. Don’t worry, our Sheffield Wednesday team will win!”
Sheffield on Wednesday were confident they could win the game. They were here today to take the victory away. Then, the wind beneath their feet blew out and poured into the players’ passageway.
When Sheffield Wednesday’s players came out, they happened to meet the Leeds United players. The two of them met. Their gazes at each other were flickering with light. It was clear that both of them were full of spirit.
The players on both sides understand that the second half will be very difficult.
The Leeds United players buried their heads and walked straight into the Elland Road Stadium.
“Alright, the players from both sides have already walked out of the dressing room. The second half of the match will start soon!” Mark Lawrence said immediately.
“I see that Leeds United are going to make a substitution change. Moreover, there are two people in this exchange. Looks like Roja is going to make a big move!” Eddie Gray immediately shouted.
The Leeds United fans also saw the situation on the sidelines and applauded the two new players to cheer them on, hoping they could bring good luck to Leeds United.
Van Gargh also saw it. His brows tightened. He couldn’t see Zhong Cheng’s thoughts clearly.
Leeds United had replaced two young players. They were both very, very young. What exactly was Zhong Cheng thinking?
Van Gaal couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Zhong Cheng, who was standing at the side. It was as if he wanted to see through Zhong Cheng’s thoughts, but he still couldn’t see through Zhong Cheng’s thoughts clearly. Now, he wanted to see who these two young men had replaced?
At that moment, Leeds United traded Alexander Pato for Edin Cavani and Gareth Bale for Joaquin.
Seeing this, Van Gargh was slightly shocked. Suddenly, he understood Zhong Cheng’s thoughts.
