The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 931
931 We’re Going to Take the Trophy
This Leeds United team is still very young!
The Leeds United team is still dominated by young players. You see, there is no Leeds United veteran over 30 years old. The oldest is Diego Milito. He is only 29 years old.
The Leeds United team now has four players aged 25-30, 15 players aged 20-24 and eight players under 20 (excluding 20) for a total of 27 players.
Look, the main force of Leeds United is still under 24 years old. There are even eight players under 19 years old. This Leeds United team is quite young.
However, the Leeds United average is still 21.70 years old, 0.134 years older than last season!
A year later, Leeds United had matured a little, but they were only 0.134 years old! This was too frightening. It seemed that Madman Loria was going to carry out the Young Guards Army to the end!
When many media reporters saw the Leeds United list, they claimed that Madman Loria was a paedophile, eliminating older players from the transfer market every year and guaranteeing that their team’s average age was not too different.
Few media reporters now use the phrase “you get nothing from a bunch of kids” to attack Leeds United. Because in the past few seasons, Leeds United had already used their actions to give these people a lot of big-eared melon seeds, causing their faces to swollen and they were almost unable to see anyone.
No matter how stupid a person was, they should be subdued by now!
After all, these media reporters still had a good memory.
The current media reporters were all disgusted with Zhong Cheng.
For example, Manchester Evening News reporter Gary Arnoldsith said: “I can see now that Madman Loria is a sexually active pedophile. Most of the players he values are younger than 25 years old, as if he has a grudge against players older than 25 years old.” Especially those old generals who were younger than thirty years old. This was the root of Zhong Cheng’s hatred. You see, Zhong Cheng has already eliminated all the veterans who are over 30 years old in the next season. Leeds United does not have any veterans over 30 years old, including 30 years old!
The moment Gary Arnoldsith said this, he was naturally disgusted to the point that many people were disgusted!
Of course, this had also become a new method and a new obstacle for Zhong Chenghei. Now, these people had given Zhong Cheng a crooked name-paedophilia!
Even Gary Arnoldsith said: “We can see that since Madman Loria accepted Leeds United, he has been reusing young players. We can also see from here that Madman Loria does not like veterans first, then Madman Loria will not use veterans, and finally Madman Loria looks down on veterans!”
Yes, Gary Arnoldsith had ulterior motives to make Zhong Cheng and the veterans of football completely oppose each other.
At the same time, Gary Arnoldsith also said: “Also, in Zhong Cheng’s eyes, players over the age of 25 are basically veterans of the coach!”
Alright, this Gary Arnoldsith guy is completely stirring up trouble!
Although many people felt that Gary Arnoldsith had ulterior motives, his words were rather biased. However, everyone still believed that there was some truth in what he said.
After all, this was what Zhong Cheng had done in reality. He valued some young players. Although Zhong Cheng would also bring in some older players, the proportion was very, very, very small. From this, it could be seen that Zhong Cheng preferred young players and was more willing to use them.
This inevitably caused some veteran generals to have some opinions about Zhong Cheng!
Of course, it’s impossible for you to accept veterans who are completely opposed to Zhong Cheng, but it won’t be so easy for Zhong Cheng to bring in some veterans in the future.
Therefore, this fellow, Gary Arnoldsith, was dejected at this moment!
When Zhong Cheng saw such a report, he naturally thought of some situations that he would encounter in the future. He slightly curled his lips. This damned Gary Arnoldsith was indeed an unbeatable Xiao Qiang. It was impossible to say who else was pushing all of this behind him!
Zhong Cheng glanced at the report again and coldly snorted, his face full of disdain!
How could such a clumsy method hinder the Leeds United’s advance? These trash methods were at most disgusting, but in fact, they did not harm Leeds United in the slightest!
Even without some veterans, Zhong Cheng was confident that he could turn Leeds United into a wealthy family!
Furthermore, Zhong Cheng really did not have any opinions about the old general!
Zhong Cheng simply believed that young people were more energetic and could easily control and suppress the winner. On the contrary, Zhong Cheng might not be able to shock some veteran generals. After all, Zhong Cheng was also very young, and he was not even thirty years old. More importantly, Zhong Cheng had more topics to discuss with these young players, making it easier to control the dressing room.
Most importantly, the youths that Zhong Cheng had unearthed were all extremely powerful!
Therefore, Zhong Cheng would usually bring in some veterans, but there would definitely not be too many veterans in a season. This was for the sake of better control of the dressing room.
This season, Leeds United brought in Diego Milito, a 29-year-old veteran. But that should be Diego Milito’s prime. Diego Milito left the best years of his life to Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders. He definitely could not let Diego Milito down.
This is the most beautiful year of Diego Milito’s football career!
Of course, although Leeds United still had some problems with running-ins, Zhong Cheng was still very confident this season. Because Zhong Cheng’s goal for the entire season is the Champions League, there is still some time before the start of the Champions League, enough for Leeds United to run into.
Zhong Cheng believed that Leeds United would not disappoint everyone this season!
–Division Line–
Many media reporters flocked to the Leeds United training ground to interview Leeds United players and coaches because this season’s Community Shield Cup was about to begin.
The Leeds United players did not train much today because they were leaving for London ahead of schedule and tomorrow they will play Portsmouth at London’s new Wembley Stadium.
It was already evening, and the Leeds United bus was heading to London. They were resting at a hotel in London for the night, and the next day they were participating in the competition directly!
At this moment, the fans and media reporters in England were all very concerned about the match. Their gazes were all on Leeds United because there were too many questions they wanted to know.
Now, of course, the most inertial question is that of Cristiano Ronaldo.
A day ago, Cristiano Ronaldo made his official debut for Leeds United. Will Cristiano Ronaldo be in the starting lineup of Leeds United tomorrow?
Yes, this is what everyone is most concerned about right now.
The media reporters rushed to the Leeds United team, all of them sprinting with spears in their hands, wanting to find out what was going on. However, Zhong Cheng didn’t give them a chance. Even Bian Yuqing and Kelly Fox didn’t agree.
Yes, both Bian Yuqing and Kelly Fox had found Zhong Cheng and wanted to interview Cristiano Ronaldo, but they were rejected.
It’s also a mystery. Will Cristiano Ronaldo be on the roster for this match?
The Internet was extremely noisy. Everyone was discussing this issue.
Some thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would say it, while others thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would not start.
Even some European bookmakers, such as Will Hill, are offering odds, leading to speculation that Cristiano Ronaldo will make an immortal appearance?
Although the reporters couldn’t interview Leeds United every day, they saw Cristiano Ronaldo boarding the team’s bus, so at least Cristiano Ronaldo would be in London!
Now that Cristiano Ronaldo is following the team’s bus to London, those online who think Cristiano Ronaldo will start are at the top, and they are sure to start for Cristiano Ronaldo.
This question had been troubling many people. Many people wanted to figure it out, but unfortunately, none of them had any answers. Leeds United had done a great job of keeping it a secret this time.
It wasn’t too late for the Leeds United bus to arrive at the hotel where London was staying, because Leeds United wasn’t too far from London, and it was only a few hours away.
Media reporters and fans waiting outside the hotel saw Cristiano Ronaldo following the Leeds United players into the hotel where they were staying. And he was dragging his suitcase, and everyone guessed that Cristiano Ronaldo would start tomorrow’s game.
The media reporters naturally wanted to rush up and interview Zhong Cheng, but Zhong Cheng did not accept any interviews. He directly entered the hotel under the protection of the security personnel on the spot and directly ate and rested.
Yes, Zhong Cheng is going to prepare for tomorrow’s match.
From tomorrow onwards, the 2008-2009 season will officially begin. Tomorrow’s competition will be the beginning of the new season, so Zhong Cheng naturally attaches great importance to it.
That night, Zhong Cheng and the Leeds United players rested early, waiting for the next day to arrive.
On the other side, Leeds United’s opponent Portsmouth was also resting very seriously.
The head coach of the Portsmouth team was not a nobody either. That was Harry Redknapp, yes, the guy nicknamed Old Ray. He was also considered a famous England general during his time as a player. After becoming the head coach, his coaching performance was quite good. He was a famous coach of England.
Last year, he was the one who managed Portsmouth to win the FA Cup last season amidst strong opponents.
Redknapp continues to coach Portsmouth this season, and he naturally wants more glory.
Redknapp has made very detailed preparations for this match. They will definitely win this match at Portsmouth.
Redknapp told reporters before the game: “Leeds United are very strong, there is no doubt about it! For us, Leeds United is Goliath! We will definitely go all out, although they are strong, but we are still confident!”
Media reporters also asked questions about Cristiano Ronaldo.
Redknapp is also very concerned about the issue, but he is not sure, but he said: “As for whether Cristiano Ronaldo will play or not, it doesn’t really matter. No matter what his initial appearance is, our goal at Portsmouth is to win and win the trophy!”
