The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 945
945 Everything Is Under Control?
Sheffield Wednesday’s players were getting more and more uncomfortable as they held back their anger.
Van Gaal, who was watching from the sidelines, was also very anxious. His expression was gloomy!
“Dirty! Leeds United’s kick was too dirty, extremely dirty!” The Sheffield Wednesday fans were very upset and cursed at Leeds United.
In the VIP box, Kramer saw that four goblets had been smashed to pieces!
“Damn madman! Tamar’s a madman! He actually used such dirty methods, damn trash! You Tamar, go to hell!” Kramer roared madly.
To tell the truth, he was also feeling extremely uncomfortable!
This game makes people want to hit people. Is this f*cking playing football or kicking people?
And this damn referee, why the fuck did he play all of our Sheffield Wednesday players? Why didn’t he play Leeds United? You let them foul like this?
The reporters in the press gallery were also shocked. They did not expect the Leeds United to use such a tactic. This was truly unexpected.
“Me! We saw that Madman Loria’s tactics are really crazy. He can snatch it if he wants, but he can’t save the foul. This can save him some unnecessary energy. Perhaps Leeds United’s physical fitness will last longer than we expected!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
To tell the truth, this tactic was indeed dirty!
But, to be honest, the results are pretty good now!
No, more than 20 minutes have passed, but Sheffield on Wednesday really don’t have a good chance. So far, they haven’t even scored a single kick.
Leeds United’s defensive tactics were very successful!
Most importantly, they have successfully angered Sheffield Wednesday’s players. Sheffield Wednesday’s players are fouling more and more. More importantly, Sheffield Wednesday’s players have already booked three players. This is not good news.
Fan Jia’s face was ashen. He really didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to be so shameless!
Of course, Van Gaal knew that the game could not go on like this, otherwise Sheffield Wednesday would really be finished.
Van Gaal immediately came to the side and called Sneijder over. “Don’t get too involved in the midfield. Try to retreat. After you get the ball in the back, use your long, accurate pass to find the forward. Have the forward players roam around the last player on the opposing team, ready to intercept and receive the long pass at any time.”
Sneijder instantly understood what Van Gargh meant. Since you guys are like this, we’ll call you. It’s the simplest, the simplest. Although the success rate of such a long pass was not very high, as long as they seized one or two chances, it would be much better than being led by the nose by the Leeds United.
Van Gaal continued, “Don’t be afraid of offside. There will be many opportunities for us today, you know? If we continue to fight like this, we will have a chance!”
Sneijder immediately nodded and said, “Got it, boss!”
Van Gargh added: “Take care of your emotions and don’t foul easily. We’ve already got three yellow cards. The game has only been played for a quarter of the time. It’s still a long time, you know?”
Sneijder nodded to show that he understood.
Sneijder quickly rushed into the stadium.
At this time, Leeds United’s Luka Modric was taken down for treatment. The Sheffield Wednesday players couldn’t hold back and fouled him.
However, Luka Modric did not suffer any serious injuries. He stood up in a moment and returned to the stadium. He continued to play!
Shortly after Luka Modric returned to the pitch, Sheffield Wednesday’s retreating Sneijder made a long, big-legged pass and immediately sent the ball to Leeds United’s front court.
A person suddenly flashed out of the crowd and rushed towards the football!
“Reyes! It’s Reyes! Hurry, it’s really too fast. Reyes is too fast. Sheffield’s long ball on Wednesday. Leeds United is in danger!” Mark Lawrenson immediately roared loudly.
“Charge! Charge! Reyes, get rid of the filthy Leeds United and fuck them to death!” The Sheffield Wednesday fans roared with excitement.
“Wow, a sudden change. Van Gargh made a change. He caught the Leeds United off guard. The Leeds United team is in danger!” Eddie Gray immediately roared, his heart filled with nervousness.
Du!
Suddenly, the referee Martin Atkinson’s whistle sounded, and there was an offside gesture!
“Ah! It’s offside, Reyes suddenly went offside this time!” Mark Lawrenson is a little confused. Is the ball offside?
“Black whistle! Trash whistle! You damn bastard, how much did you charge Leeds United?” Shouted the Sheffield Wednesday fans.
Martin Atkinson remained expressionless and indifferent.
Sheffield Wednesday’s players also immediately rushed over to Atkinson, complaining that the ball was not offside. However, Atkinson remained indifferent, his face paralyzed.
Sheffield Wednesday’s players were furious!
Kramer broke another goblet in the VIP box!
“Let’s see if Reyes is really offside. After all, the linesman is very determined to raise the flag. He seems to be full of confidence!” Eddie Gray said.
“Me! We can see that the last Leeds defender, Matz Humerus, took two steps forward the moment Sneijder’s long foot passed. Reyes accelerated at that time. He was indeed offside. He was offside by more than half a body position. This was an offside!” Bian Yuqing said.
At this time, Sheffield Wednesday fans in front of the TV were shut up. Facts speak louder than words!
However, the Sheffield United fans were relentless on Wednesday, as they did not think the ball was offside at all.
On the sidelines, the corners of Zhong Cheng’s mouth rose slightly. Everything was under control!
It turned out that Zhong Cheng had warned the Leeds United players to pay attention to Sheffield Wednesday’s long pass and to create an offside trap for the opposing players. It was clear that Zhong Cheng had long anticipated Van Gaal’s changes.
Or perhaps Van Gaal’s change was Zhong Cheng’s plan.
Next up, the Leeds United players didn’t have to fight like this, frantically consuming their physical strength. As long as they pretended to continue their frenzied pursuit, Sheffield Wednesday’s team would keep attacking like this, searching for one or two of the dozens of chances.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng crossed his chest and slowly walked back to the coaching bench.
Everyone on the scene was watching Zhong Cheng’s actions. Now that Sheffield Wednesday had made a change, what kind of response would Zhong Cheng make?
Van Gargh was also paying attention to Zhong Cheng’s reaction. He wanted to know what Zhong Cheng would do next.
Actually, Zhong Cheng didn’t need to do anything at all, because all of this was going according to his plan. However, he knew that Van Gaal was a smart person. At this time, he still had to make some moves. Otherwise, Van Gaal would have guessed his plan.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng directly went to the bench and shouted to the bench, “Chris, Tony, you guys go warm up!”
At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tony Clos, who were on the bench for Leeds United, immediately took off their jackets and ran to the sidelines to warm up.
“Wow, at this time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tony Clos, who are on the bench for Leeds United, are both getting up to warm up. Is Madman Luia going to be substituted in the first half? Is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Leeds United debut coming soon?” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
The Leeds United fans were also very excited and excited, shouting loudly and shouting Cristiano Ronaldo’s name excitedly.
“Wow! I really didn’t expect that Mr. Loria would be replaced with Cristiano Ronaldo. It seems that Mr. Loria is going to step up his offense!” Bian Yuqing immediately said.
Van Gaal’s eyes were fixed on Zhong Cheng, who was sitting on the coaching bench. He was thinking about what kind of adjustments Zhong Cheng would make.
Van Gaal couldn’t understand why Zhong Cheng would change into Cristiano Ronaldo and Tony Clos at this time of hunger. Could it be that they wanted to strengthen their control of the ball, try to keep the football under their feet and push forward the attack one after another?
Or use Cristiano Ronaldo’s personal abilities to attack crazily?
At this moment, many thoughts appeared in Van Gargh’s mind, but he didn’t know what Zhong Cheng’s intentions were.
Meanwhile, the game on the pitch continued, with Leeds United frequently threatening Sheffield Wednesday’s goal. Sheffield Wednesday used long passes frequently to look for offensive possibilities. Sheffield Wednesday’s long passes were more accurate.
However, Sheffield Wednesday’s strikers are often left alone and severely restricted.
However, Sheffield United also scored a zero-goal breakthrough on Wednesday. In the 31st minute of the first half, Sheffield Wednesday scored their first shot and threatened to rent. Unfortunately, Reyes’s shot was too hasty. He missed the area and missed the goal.
This also confirmed Van Gaal’s determination to fight the long ball!
After that, Sheffield Wednesday’s team had a series of shots, but they were unable to cross Zhong Zheng’s ten fingers. By the end of the first half, Sheffield Wednesday’s shots had reached five, which was not bad.
However, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Zhong Cheng still hadn’t replaced Cristiano Ronaldo and Tony Clos.
Van Gargh frowned slightly. Could it be that the second half of the match had only just begun before he replaced these two?
The first half of the match ended with the two teams tied 0-0. To be honest, Leeds United had a lot of chances in the first half, but they were just a bit unlucky and missed the goal three times. Zhong Cheng also felt speechless. The tactic had succeeded, but he couldn’t defeat luck!
