The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 863
863 I Can’t Float Around Right Now
Leeds United beat Liverpool 3-0!
This was a huge victory!
The Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited. This was a bloody bloodbath for Liverpool, a revenge for last season’s arrow. Leeds United are now in the final four of the Champions League after beating Liverpool.
Leeds United fans were cheering wildly and celebrating wildly.
However, Zhong Cheng was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned.
Leeds United did win this game, but the price was too high.
It was because in the remaining matches, Leeds United paid a heavy price to prevent Leeds United from counterattacking, taking revenge for a total of six yellow cards.
Of course, these weren’t the most important things. The most important thing was that someone was going to suspend the tournament.
In the next round, Sedu Keita, the Leeds United midfielder and the biggest contributor to the game, will be suspended for a yellow card. At the same time, the accumulated yellow card suspensions include centre-back Pique and striker Luca Tony!
This was a draw from Leeds United!
Seeing such a situation, how could Zhong Cheng be happy?
Although it was now a 3-0 lead, Zhong Cheng was very worried that the next match would be really dangerous.
These people on the scene hadn’t reacted yet, so they were all celebrating madly.
Even Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez did not react. He smiled bitterly and walked over to Zhong Cheng. He extended his right hand to Zhong Cheng and said, “Congratulations, you have won this match. It’s a very good match!”
Zhong Cheng held Benitez’s right hand without any happiness on his face and said indifferently, “Thank you!”
Benitez was stunned for a moment and then said, “You’re such a drama queen. You act wherever you go. Before the game, I was tricked by you. Do you still want to lie to me to prepare for the next round?”
Yes, in Benitez’s view, Zhong Cheng’s abnormal performance is problematic, he must be setting up for the next round.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “You actually discovered me. It seems like I made a mistake!”
Benitez rolled his eyes at Zhong Cheng and said, “You have such an obvious abnormal behavior. Everyone can tell that you’re easy to deal with. Ah, no, don’t tell me you want me to see your abnormal behavior … Hiss, no, I can’t stay with you anymore. You’re just an extremely cunning fox!”
After saying that, Benitez immediately turned around and left Zhong Cheng.
Looking at Benitez’s back, Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly.
Of course, Zhong Cheng could tell that Benitez was joking with him. As the coach of the Champions League Champions League team, Benitez is not so exaggerated!
Looking at Benitez’s back, Zhong Cheng sighed. It seemed that the second round would be very, very difficult.
In the second half of the game, the Leeds United players exerted too much force, which led to so many yellow cards. This is a deep hole dug for the second round. I wonder what will happen to the second round?
Right now, the media reporters were all rushing towards Leeds United, rushing towards Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng did not explain any of the interviews and directly left. After all, there was still a press conference after the match, so it was not too late to talk about this at the press conference.
Now, Zhong Cheng had to think about how Leeds United and Liverpool would play in the second leg. After all, in the second leg, Leeds United would lose three very, very important players, and their absence would have a tremendous impact on Leeds United.
Right now, Zhong Cheng was thinking about how to minimize this impact!
–Division Line–
At the press conference after the match, there were a sea of people!
Media reporters were waiting for the coaches of both sides to appear. They wanted to interview the coaches of both sides. The result of this match was really beyond their expectations.
Rafael Benitez arrived first and said directly, “We were passive from the start of this game. Obviously it was all my fault. I miscalculated the opponent’s tactics and led to the defeat of this game. This was the failure of my tactical design!”
The media reporters nodded their heads in succession, and they thought the same.
Rafael Benitez continued: “Obviously, Leeds United are very strong and this time it was a 3-0 draw that made us feel desperate.” It was a very big score, but I believe Liverpool will not give up. After all, we were 3-0 behind in the Champions League final. Didn’t we win in the end?
The media reporters nodded, Benitez was right.
In that year’s Champions League final, Liverpool made a shocking comeback and created a miraculous night in Istanbul.
At that time, they were three goals behind in the half, and in the second half they scored three consecutive goals to level the score. Now that they have an entire game to change the score, they have a chance of winning.
Of course, everyone knew that this was very difficult.
Rafael Benitez concluded: “Of course, I know it’s very difficult. But Liverpool will not give up. When we return home, we will let Leeds United see how strong our team is. We will not give up and we will win!”
However, there are not many media reporters supporting Liverpool, in their view, Liverpool is really bad luck.
After that. Zhong Cheng arrived at the scene and was interviewed by media reporters.
Zhong Cheng said: “The result of this match was indeed beyond our expectations. We did not expect that we would win this match by such a large score.” But what I want to say is that this is the past and we won’t talk much about it anymore. Now we’re going to look forward. Because it didn’t get us straight into the next round, we still have one game to play. “The next game will be the key to our leeds league advancement. That game will be the most important game!”
The media had already done so. What did Zhong Cheng mean by that? Could it be that he didn’t have confidence?
Now that Leeds United had a 3-0 lead, how could Zhong Cheng not be confident?
Zhong Chengshi continued, “Liverpool are a very strong team. Although we are leading 3-0, it is not safe. We have to beat our opponents in the next match before we have a chance. Otherwise, we will lose to Leeds United.”
Actually, Zhong Cheng’s biggest goal in speaking like this was to beat the players of Leeds United so that their minds wouldn’t drift. Leeds United are indeed leading by a large margin, but isn’t that what keeps them from advancing to the next round?
Only by playing the next game will Leeds United advance to the next round.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng wanted the Leeds United players to forget about the score of this match and start from scratch in the second leg of the match to fight against Liverpool again.
Zhong Cheng put in a lot of effort, he didn’t know if the players from Leeds United could feel it.
Zhong Chengshi said in the end: “In this world, large scores ahead of the final loss of the team everywhere, at this time, our Leeds United must not let down the guard.” Otherwise we will follow in the footsteps of these teams. “I hope they are well prepared to do well in the next round and not disappoint themselves!”
–Division Line–
After the game against Liverpool, Leeds United did not have any holidays.
Leeds United have two more games to play this week. One is the semi-final of this season’s FA Cup and the other is the weekend’s league.
Yes, this week, Leeds United play three games a week!
This was extremely demanding for the fitness of the Leeds United players. Fortunately, Zhong Cheng was left to the younger players and substitutes to play in the FA Cup. This did not have much of an impact on the main players of the Leeds United team.
In this match, Leeds United’s opponent was Barnsley and was not very strong.
To tell the truth, the FA Cup this season is really a bit strange. The teams that advanced to the last four did not have the traditional top four of the Premier League. They were all eliminated. The teams that made it into the top four weren’t very strong, except for Leeds United.
Therefore, when the top four teams were born, the English media were clamoring, claiming that Leeds United would be the champions of the FA Cup this season and they wanted to defend their title successfully.
Yes, look who the top four teams are, Leeds United, Barnsley, West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth. Are only Leeds United the champions of the four teams?
The current English media have also claimed that Leeds United will definitely win the FA Cup this season. And Leeds United fans think the same, because no team can threaten Leeds United.
The Leeds United players seemed to have the same idea, which made Zhong Cheng very dissatisfied.
Zhong Chengshi reminded the Leeds United players, “Our opponents are indeed not strong, but sometimes victory is not limited to strength. Much of it comes from your attitude and mentality, you know? With your current mentality, can you win the game?”
The Leeds United players were stunned. They didn’t expect Zhong Cheng’s reaction to be so big!
Zhong Chengshi continued, “You have to remember that even if a team can advance to the top four, their strength is still two to three points. A team may have some luck, but his luck will not be so good.” If you underestimate them now, then you may lose badly! ”
Yes, he may be lucky to make it to the FA Cup quarter-finals, but no matter how lucky he is, if he doesn’t have any strength, can he make it to the quarter-finals?
Therefore, Zhong Cheng felt that their players and media reporters had underestimated these three teams.
Zhong Cheng was very serious. Originally, he had no expectations for the Carling Cup and the FA Cup throughout the season, but now that the players from Leeds United had come to this position, Zhong Cheng still hoped that Leeds United would win the FA Cup.
Now, Zhong Cheng was hoping that the Leeds United players would have a good attitude and compete in this match.
This is very helpful to the growth of the young players in Leeds United. This will definitely be one of the most valuable gains for Leeds United’s young players as they grow.
