The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 844
844 I’ve Seen Through Everything!
Du!
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the match.
The first to kick off was AC Milan, who had come from afar, and the football was now rolling at the feet of midfielder Kaka.
Just as Kaka was about to grab the ball, Sedu Keita stuck to Kaka’s side, preventing him from easily grabbing the ball and turning around. This was Zhong Cheng’s arrangement before the match. Kaka had to keep an eye on him, even if it was a foul.
Sedu Keita played according to Zhong Cheng’s arrangements.
Kaka used his body to support Sedu Keita, wanting to speed up his escape as usual.
However, Sedu Keita’s body was like a wall. Kaka could not move at all. Instead, Sedu Keita stabbed the football under his feet. The football quickly rolled under Pique’s feet. Pike immediately sent the football forward and rolled the football under Luka Modric’s feet.
Leeds United fans immediately gave a thunderous round of applause to Sedu Keita, who did a really good job.
Muhammad Sissoko, who was sitting on the bench, couldn’t help but applaud. He really did a good job.
Kaka couldn’t help but turn around and glance at Sedu Keita before running away.
With a bang, Luka Modric sent out a straight shot and shot behind Oddo.
“Indeed! Leeds United came up behind Oddo. This is the weakness of AC Milan. Looks like this is going to be exploited by Leeds United. Now we need to see if Oddo can withstand the attack of Leeds United!” Eddie Gray said.
On the sidelines, Carlo Ancelotti frowned.
AC Milan’s offense and defense were both strangled by Leeds United, and Kaka was obviously being stared at. And on the defensive line, Oddo was being watched. This match was very difficult.
Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at Zhong Cheng. This young fellow looked really impatient!
At this moment, Carlo Ancelotti immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the AC Milan players to try their best to bypass Kaka when attacking, letting the Leeds United players focus on defending Kaka so that Kaka could attract the opponent’s main defensive force and then attack from other places!
In defense, Carlo Ancelotti asked the centre-back and waist to help Oddo defend, especially Gattusodo to help him let go.
After all, Gattuso was a defensive player in the right-back position, and he was also one of those blocking players who frantically attacked, which could help Oddo defend.
At this time, Franck Ribery on the side bypassed Oddo and caught up with the football. He immediately cut into the restricted area of AC Milan with the ball and quickly rubbed the football towards the back of the restricted area with a swing of his gun.
Edinson Cavani, who was behind the box, leapt high into the air, crushing Kaladze and smashing the ball into AC Milan’s goal.
The speed of the ball was very fast, and Karachi was shocked in front of the goal.
Moreover, the old man’s reaction was not as good as before. Although he threw himself sideways, he did not have the slightest bit of confidence.
Hu! Fortunately, the soccer ball was slightly out of the back point of the pillar, flying out of the bottom line!
The AC Milan fans exhaled a breath of cold air. This ball was too dangerous!
On the sidelines, Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t sit still and shouted loudly, signaling AC Milan’s Gattusodo to help Oddo defend and never give the Leeds United a chance.
AC Milan players immediately accepted Carlo Ancelotti’s intentions and began to play according to his instructions.
Carlo Ancelotti’s reaction was very quick. Not long after the game started, he discovered the problems on the pitch and made some adjustments. This ability to react is much better than the average head coach. No wonder he is a Champions League Champions League head coach.
AC Milan continued to attack, but it was clear that they had bypassed Kaka to attract the firepower of the Leeds United defenders, who then attacked from the flank to catch the Leeds United off guard.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng saw the tactical changes of AC Milan, and the corner of his mouth slightly rose!
As expected, Carlo Ancelotti made such a change.
Zhong Cheng was not surprised at all. All of this was within his expectations. The Leeds United players on the pitch already knew what to do!
At this time, AC Milan player Pirlo pretended to be looking for Kaka and suddenly tilted the football to the side. The football quickly flew towards Ambrosini on the side. However, Ambrosini had yet to receive the football when it was sidelined halfway by Leeds United’s Sagna.
The AC Milan players were not aware of the problem at this time and they thought it was an accident.
AC Milan players threw the sideline ball and the football flew at Ambrosini’s feet. Ambrosini didn’t stop the ball and quickly passed it to full-back Paolo Maldini. Paolo Maldini immediately crossed the football horizontally.
The Leeds United defenders immediately surrounded Kaka and prevented him from catching the ball.
However, the football did not fly towards Kaka in the middle. Instead, it drew an arc around Kaka and flew to Pirlo’s feet.
After Pirlo caught the ball, he took only two steps forward and sent the ball into Leeds United’s box with a long kick,
Lippico and Gilardino both fought for the top at the same time. The football was pushed out by Pique and the football flew out of the area.
Seeing this, Pirlo shook his head. There was no advantage in playing a long pass. Looks like AC Milan were going to change the way they attacked, but Kaka was being stared at. This game was very difficult to play!
Pirlo could also tell that the Leeds United players’ defenses against Kaka were tighter, but the defenses against the two wings were tighter!
Obviously, Zhong Cheng had anticipated the intentions and changes of their head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, so he strengthened the defense on both sides. No wonder Ambrosini and the retreating Inzaghi did not get the ball.
Pirlo could not help but exclaim, “Madman Roja is amazing!”
Yes, the madman Roja is too powerful. He seems to have expected everything!
Carlo Ancelotti could tell that his eyebrows were knitted even more tightly. Obviously, he had seen through all of this. This was truly too dangerous.
With a bang, Gilardino suddenly picked up an opportunity outside the restricted area. The Leeds United defenders made a mistake in passing the ball and he shot directly.
Fortunately, the opportunity came too easily and Gilardino did not cherish it. This shot was too tight and did not cause any trouble for Zhong Zheng. Zhong Zheng easily hugged the football in his arms.
After hugging the football, Zhong Zheng quickly rushed out. Then, a powerful hand quickly threw the football out and the football flew into the AC Milan’s half-court.
The fans of the AC Milan team all grew their mouths wide and exclaimed. Zhong Zheng’s arm strength was too formidable. Oh my God, how could he throw it so far away?
The football flew towards Luca Toni in the front court!
AC Milan’s players suddenly became nervous. AC Milan’s tall centre-back Nesta pushed out and followed closely behind Luca Tony, who was about to arrive in midfield. He just didn’t let Luca Tony turn around easily.
However, Luca Tony had no intention of taking the ball. He jumped up high and shook his head. Nesta jumped up as well. Unfortunately, he had never fought for Luca Tony.
Luca Tony took the lead and ferried the football towards the AC Milan area.
Edison Cavani rushed over like a bolt of lightning and chased after the football!
The fans of AC Milan screamed in horror. Leeds United’s counterattack was very ferocious. This fellow Edison Cavani’s speed is not ordinary. If he really rushes up, AC Milan will really be in danger.
At this moment, Eddie Gray was roaring wildly, cheering for Leeds United.
Edison Cavani caught up with the football in the high-speed forward insertion and changed the direction of the spike with a sudden stop. He instantly dunked Carragher who had rushed out, and then suddenly accelerated forward into the restricted area of AC Milan.
The fans of AC Milan immediately let out a scream of horror.
Danger, AC Milan is really in danger this time.
‘”Aiya! Defending champion AC Milan’s centre-back Carragher is a bit risky this time. He’s too anxious, too careless. Isn’t he looking for an opportunity to get lost by pouncing so fiercely?” Mark Lawrenson said the same thing.
All of a sudden, the AC Milan fans became nervous.
Leeds United fans were cheering wildly, cheering for Edison Cavani with the warmest applause and cheers.
Zhong Cheng stood at the edge of the field as if he hadn’t seen this sharp counterattack. On the contrary, in front of AC Milan’s coaching staff, Carlo Ancelotti was very nervous. Leeds United’s defensive counterattack was really too sharp. It was even sharper than the Italian’s defensive counterattack.
Carlo Ancelotti’s heart was filled with admiration. If he lost the ball, it would be troublesome!
After deducting Carragher, Edison Cavani accelerated again and quickly entered the restricted area of AC Milan.
AC Milan’s old goalkeeper Karachi did not choose to attack but waited in front of the goal. As he grew older, his physical fitness and speed had greatly decreased. Especially since Karachi’s figure was over two meters tall, his attack was meaningless.
In the past, Karachi had more goal-line goalkeepers and stayed in the goal most of the time. After all, his height could block a lot of shots, so it would be easier for him to concede the ball.
Therefore, Karachi did not choose to attack this time. Instead, he stayed at the goal to spare money.
This was the same as AC Milan’s main goalkeeper Dida. Dida was also a goal-line goalkeeper. His goal-line skills were excellent and his reaction speed was also very fast. Although he sometimes had some nerve knives, he was still very good overall.
However, Dida’s attack was extremely terrible, and it was difficult to see Dida’s attack even in a fight. Many fans call Dida a goal-line goalkeeper.
Now Karachi is the same, Leeds United fans are naturally very happy, very excited. But AC Milan fans are very worried, very nervous.
Before the game, Edison Cavani and the others had all understood the characteristics of the goalkeeper. The information prepared by Greene Nethercott was very detailed, and this time it was useful.
Actually, Edison Cavani’s speed-up trip was a bit too much, but Karachi still didn’t rush out. Instead, he stayed firmly on the forbidden area line and waited for Edison Cavani’s heavy rain to hit.
Seeing that Karachi did not attack, Edison Cavani heaved a sigh of relief.
Edison Cavani, who caught up with the football, swung his leg and shot.
Edison Cavani was full of energy as he fiercely kicked the football and sent it straight to the lower right corner of the AC Milan goal!
