The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 816
816 Arsenal’s Number One Striker
Prior to the game, Arsenal were interviewed by media reporters, all of whom complimented Leeds United.
Seeing these news reports, Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly.
Arsène Wenge’s purpose was obvious, and anyone could see it. However, Zhong Cheng was extremely worried!
Yes, Arsène Wenge’s methods weren’t very high, but he did use them perfectly!
Arsène Wenge saw the problem with Leeds United at a glance and the Frenchman took advantage of it. This move looked very simple and plain, but the effect could not be underestimated.
It was because the Leeds United players were really drifting. Now that the entire Arsenal team was praising them so much, it was impossible for them not to drift.
Seeing this, Albertini frowned and was very worried.
Albertini is a former player who understands the lethality of Arsène Wenge’s simple movements. Players in succession to win a certain stage, the arrogance and complacency of their own can not be suppressed, these soft knives are very easy to go to the unpredictable effects.
This was also the reason why some people said that prosperity was bound to decline.
Albertini stared worriedly at Zhong Cheng and asked, “Boss, what should we do now? The team’s condition is not too good!”
Zhong Cheng smiled and waved his hand, “Don’t worry too much. Trust our lads. They are very good at adjusting and controlling. Otherwise, our Leeds United won’t be able to win 16 consecutive victories. So, trust them. They are even more powerful than we thought!”
Albertini was slightly stunned. He really didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to respond like this.
Wasn’t Zhong Cheng worried at all?
Zhong Cheng continued, “Besides, I have already reminded them that no matter how much they say now, they may not be able to continue listening. Therefore, at this time, they can only rely on themselves.”
Albertini was stunned again. Zhong Cheng had actually said something like this, which was beyond his expectations.
“Also, sometimes losing one or two games isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Look at how powerful the players were when we lost four games in a row at the beginning of the league,” Zhong Cheng said. “It’s not bad to give them a head-on blow now. Isn’t it good to let them know who they are?”
Albertini pondered for a moment and thought that Zhong Cheng was right.
Zhong Cheng added: “There is still a long way to go before the end of the Premier League. Losing at this time is always good at the end of the season because we still have time to chase after losing at this time. If we restrain ourselves until the end of the season and lose again, we might lose again and again and directly collapse!”
Albertini suddenly shook. It turned out that Zhong Cheng had already considered such a far-off place!
Albertini thought Zhong Cheng was right. If he wanted to lose, it would be better to lose now than to lose again at the end of the season!
After hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Albertini wasn’t that worried.
At this moment, Albertini was very relaxed. They could accept whatever this match was like. What was there to worry about?
Of course, this did not mean that Zhong Cheng would give up this match.
Winning this match was naturally the best. After all, if Leeds United lost this match, they would lose their title and even be in danger of reaching fourth place in the Premier League. How could Zhong Cheng give up this match so easily?
Zhong Cheng did not give up. His current attitude was mainly because Zhong Cheng had already done what he had to do. The next thing he needed was the reaction and performance of his players.
Zhong Cheng has already prepared for the worst, but Leeds United are still aiming for victory, the 17th consecutive Premier League win!
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng and Leeds United did not have anyone to respond, which was beyond Arsène Wenge’s expectations. Zhong Cheng and Leeds United did not say anything before the match. This was truly abnormal.
What exactly was going on?
Yes, Arsène Wenge was a little paranoid now.
This fellow Zhong Cheng actually didn’t say anything. He actually didn’t have any objections to their comments before the match? Nor did they express their views? What exactly did Zhong Cheng mean? What kind of conspiracy was this guy plotting?
Therefore, sometimes not making a sound is not necessarily bad!
For some suspicious people, your occasional anomaly will attract their attention, and then you will frantically study guesses, even deduct details one by one, and torture yourself into a madman.
Suspicious people are like this, they often lose not to their opponents, but to themselves!
Although Arsène Wenge was not usually a suspicious person.
However, when faced with Zhong Cheng, his suspicions grew stronger. This was because Zhong Cheng’s actions today were truly too counter-productive. In addition to his previous understanding of Zhong Cheng, this fellow was a very cunning person with a variety of tricks and schemes. Arsène Wenge had no choice but to suspect that Zhong Cheng was plotting something!
Therefore, at this moment, Arsène Wenge was guessing what Zhong Cheng wanted to do.
However, Zhong Cheng did not speak up now. He did not have anything to analyze, so Arsène Wenge did not have a clue.
Arsène Wenge racked his brains, unable to guess Zhong Cheng’s thoughts!
For this reason, Arsène Wenge was even more convinced that Zhong Cheng was brewing a super big move. So before the game, Arsène Wenge had warned Arsenal players to be careful of Leeds United’s schemes.
At the same time, Arsène Wenge reminded Arsenal players to pay attention to defense in the game, always pay attention to defense, do not give Leeds United a good chance to counter-attack.
At this moment, Arsène Wenge was no longer as confident as before!
Arsène Wenge was suddenly worried about the game, which seemed to be out of his control.
Arsène Wenge closed his eyes and thought, “This damn Madman Loria is really not simple!”
Now that it was not far from the start of the match, Arsène Wenge was a little nervous.
At this moment, Arsène Wenge was hoping to arrive at the scene earlier, so that he could observe Zhong Cheng and Leeds United and see what was going on with these fellows.
Under such circumstances, Arsène Wenge led his players onto the bus and headed towards Arsenal’s home Emirates Stadium.
This season, Arsène Wenge had really risked his life. Originally Arsenal had built a new stadium, but they didn’t have much money. But the first two seasons were too bad, so they clenched their teeth and made a lot of money, bringing in some strong players.
Arsenal spent £ 60 to £ 70 million on Leeds United, bringing in Darren Bent, Diaby and others. Obviously, Arsenal’s goal this season is very clear, and that is to reach at least the top four of the Premier League next year and return to the Champions League.
They are now ranked second in the Premier League and are very, very close to the top of the Premier League. Looks like the result is very good, now they only have one goal, that is the Premier League championship!
No matter what conspiracy Zhong Cheng had, he, Arsène Wenge, had to win this match!
–Division Line–
January 1, 2008, Emirates Stadium, London, England!
The weather in London today was very good. It was a rare clear day. There was no rain or fog. The weather was very good. It was a little windy, but it was still a little cold.
However, this still couldn’t conceal the enthusiasm of the fans. Arsenal fans came to the Emirates Stadium and filled it up. They are all holding banners of all kinds and congratulations to Arsenal on reaching the top of the Premier League.
Apparently, Arsenal fans are convinced that Arsenal will win this game, Arsenal is going to become the top team in the Premier League.
Arsenal fans are in high spirits and are waiting for the game to begin.
Of course, many Leeds United fans came to Tainan today. Because the Emirates Stadium was very big and could accommodate 60,000 people, Leeds United received more tickets than anywhere else. This time around, they had 6,000 to 7,000 people, so their trip to the arena was already quite impressive.
Obviously, Leeds United fans are very interested in this match!
Leeds United fans are singing Leeds United’s team song to cheer for Leeds United, they firmly believe that Leeds United will win this game!
At this point, BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said: “A lot of players from both sides have already walked out of the players’ passageway. Now let’s introduce the starting lineup for both sides today!”
The starting lineup for today is as follows:
Home: Arsenal, Coach: Arsène Wenge, Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Almunia
Four defenders “from left to right”: Crissy, Senderos, Kolo Toure and Eboue
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Hleb, Fabregas, Abu Diaby and Rosicky
Twin strikers: Adebayor and Darren Bent
Yes, this is the starting line-up for Arsenal today. There are a lot of changes.
Almunia has replaced Lehmann as goalkeeper and Lehmann is said to be retiring soon. Almunia has become Arsenal’s main goalkeeper, but Arsène Wenge seems to be a bit dissatisfied, so he is prepared to bring in a new goalkeeper.
Arsène Wenge is said to have taken a fancy to England’s number one goalkeeper and now Leeds United’s main goalkeeper Zhong Zheng. Obviously, this was extremely difficult, almost impossible.
French centre-back Carlos Gallas did not start at full-back and was replaced by the young centre-back Senderos, who Arsène Wenge is looking forward to as the future centre-back for Arsenal.
Midfielder Flamini has been left out of the limelight and is said to have been sent away by Arsène Wenge this winter, heading straight to Rossoneri.
Van Persie was still on the bench. Not long after Darren Bent arrived, he snatched away Van Persie’s starting position. Twenty matches later, Darren Bent started fourteen matches and substituted two matches. He scored sixteen goals. His performance was very good and he became the first brother of Arsenal’s forward team.
This is the starting line-up for today’s Arsenal team. It can be said to be the starting lineup. It can be seen that Arsène Wenge’s intention to win this match is very, very obvious!
