The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 953
953 The Most Probable Cruelty Squad
At the end of the second round of the Premier League, Leeds United instantly fell behind.
At the top of the table is Chelsea, who won two games and scored six points. Liverpool, like them, won both matches, and now they are the only two teams to win both matches.
Ranked third to sixth were Hull City, Blackburn, Newcastle United and Manchester United.
Among them, Hull City was a promotion team. Their performance had exceeded everyone’s expectations. Could it be that there was going to be another big dark horse this season?
Ranked seventh was Leeds United. They were one win, one loss and three points!
Ranked eighth was Manchester City, who had just won against Leeds United. They also won one game and lost one, but their goals were fewer than Leeds United’s.
Arsenal are three points from one win and one loss, but they are ranked 14th. Arsenal’s record this season is really a bit rusty.
Of course, the worse team was Sheffield Wednesday. They lost 5-0 in the first round and won the second round. Their results weren’t good either. They were ranked 17th.
So here you can see just how competitive the Premier League is.
After the match with Manchester City, Zhong Cheng was interviewed by media reporters.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect us to lose before the game started, but it’s normal for us to lose,” Zhong said. “We haven’t run into each other yet, but our physical fitness is very good. Although this season will be a lot harder, I believe our Leeds United team won’t be too bad!”
The reporters nodded slightly and continued to ask questions.
Zhong Cheng said, “Our goal this season is actually very simple. It is to win all the matches we should win and hope to have a good result. After all, our lineup has changed a lot this season. Although the players are very strong, we still need to see how they fit in.”
The reporters were shocked. What did Zhong Cheng mean? Will Leeds United do badly this season?
The loss of the Leeds United team naturally aroused a lot of discussion. The columns of experts on the Internet all claimed that the Leeds United team was finished. It was not that Leeds United had run-ins as Zhong Cheng had said. In fact, Zhong Cheng’s team had been thoroughly studied by the Premier League and Leeds United were really finished this time.
Madman Loria’s set is out of date and Leeds United are finished.
Among them, Gerald Krasna and Gary Arnoldsith danced the most happily. However, they all knew that they had become clowns now. They had no credibility at all, and no one believed their words. They treated them as a joke.
However, there are some famous figures who say that Leeds United are indeed out of date. Zhong Cheng’s tactics have not been updated at all. Premier League coaches have already studied them thoroughly. Leeds United will have a very difficult season this year. It is unrealistic for them to dominate the Premier League like they did in previous seasons.
At this point, it is believed that the Leeds era of the Premier League is over.
Chelsea are likely to take over from Leeds United this season. The world champion will definitely be able to turn Chelsea into an iron squad. Judging from their current results and the friendly results led by Scolari, this Chelsea team is very strong. There should be no one who can stop them.
Yes, a lot of people are chanting for Chelsea now!
Manchester, of course, are frantically backing Manchester United. They believe they have come to Frank Ribery and Joan Gourcuff despite leaving Cristiano Ronaldo this season. Their strength has not declined, but has increased. More importantly, the team is more united, Manchester United in the new season will rise strongly!
More importantly, there is Liverpool, the Reds Liverpool legend believes. Liverpool’s battle prowess has been very, very strong after last season’s one-season run-in and reinforcements at the beginning of the new season. This season is the time for Liverpool to do well, and of course it is Liverpool who should dominate the Premier League.
However, it is a pity that Liverpool do not have the Champions League this season.
Yes, last season Liverpool’s results were really bad!
Last season, Liverpool didn’t make it into the top five, let alone the top four. The top four teams in the Premier League last season were Leeds United, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
So these four teams have advanced to the Champions League this season.
Leeds United, Manchester United and Chelsea advanced directly to the final 32, while Arsenal played an extra game. The Champions League spot this season is three plus one, with only one team returning to play in the Champions League playoffs, unlike previous seasons.
Previously the Champions League was two plus two, with two advancing directly to two in the playoffs. But because the Premier League teams have done so well in recent seasons in the Champions League and have scored so many points, they have been given a three-plus-one spot.
The absence of the Champions League is Liverpool’s biggest regret of the season.
Of course, this was their chance. Because they can go all out in the Premier League, of course if they give up the UEFA Cup!
At this time, Zhong Chengshi led Julia Oliveira, Albertini and Cristiano Ronaldo away from Leeds and flew to Monaco!
Because Zhong Cheng is to lead their people to participate in this season’s Champions League group draw ceremony.
Yes, the draw for the Champions League group this season has arrived.
By this time, the 32 teams that made it into the Champions League this season had all been selected. They were divided into four levels. The 30 teams were as follows:
First Stage: Leeds United, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Lyon
Second gear: Juventus, Roma, Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Villarreal and Eindhoven
Third gear: Bordeaux, Marseille, Panathinaikos, Zenit St Petersburg, Fenerbahce, Bucharest, Basel and Celtic
Fourth gear: Donetsk miners, Dinamo Kiev, Fiorentina, Crewe, Albert, Atletico Madrid, Borisol and Anosossis
This is the top 32 of this season’s European Championship next year.
The Premier League, La Liga and Serie A are big players, The top 32 teams in the Champions League this season are Leeds United, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. The La Liga side has Barcelona, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. One side is Roma, Juventus, Inter and Fiorentina.
Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen are in the Bundesliga, France has Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux, Portugal has Sporting Lisbon and Porto, Ukraine has Donetsk miners and Dinamo Kiev, and then there are other minor leagues where some teams have advanced.
Of course, this season’s Champions League rookies include Cyprus’s Arnold Sossis and Belarus’s Borisol, who are supposed to be sending points to the boys.
Zhong Cheng frowned when he saw this sort of situation.
To be honest, Arsenal have been out of the Champions League for two seasons. They have only just returned to the Champions League this season. They should not be in the first division. They should be in the fourth division just like Atletico Madrid.
In this way, in the fourth division, Leeds United and other Premier League teams can avoid a team and increase the chances of picking weaker teams.
Because the rules of the Champions League group draw are avoided by teams under the Football Association, and even by teams of the same level. Therefore, the four Premier League teams are all in the first division, so they can’t enjoy the principle of avoidance, that is, the last three teams, they are not taboo, anyone can choose.
Zhong Cheng feels that UEFA is not right, Arsenal should be going to the fourth gear.
Unfortunately, there is no other way. This is what UEFA rules. Arsenal have entered the first team.
Of course, that’s what Arsenal want to see.
Because if Arsenal go to the fourth division, it is very likely to create a group of deaths, which would be a trap for Arsenal themselves.
Arsenal are thankful that they are not in fourth gear.
If they went to the fourth stage, they would have to face a strong team of the first stage. In the first stage, apart from Lyon, the rest were very difficult to deal with.
More importantly, if Arsenal went to the fourth level, they would have to avoid Leeds United, Manchester United and Chelsea, so the rest of the Arsenal team would be teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. What if they were not courting death?
More importantly, the second-tier teams also have strong teams like Roma and Bayern Munich in them. If Arsenal go to the fourth division, they could really be put in super-death groups like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Marseille and Arsenal. Or real madrid, roma, marseille and arsenal, and super death groups like inter milan, bayern munich, marseille and arsenal.
Of course, Atletico Madrid, who was ranked fourth, was enjoying this kind of treatment!
Atletico Madrid are avoiding Real Madrid and Barcelona in the first division and Villarreal in the second.
Atletico Madrid have a very, very high chance of making it into the death squad, with the likes of the Premier League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich, Marseille and Atletico Madrid likely to be drawn into the super-death squad.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid was trembling!
Atletico Madrid now want the first-tier teams to get to Lyon, the second-tier teams don’t want to get to Bayern Munich, so they can avoid the death squad perfectly.
However, the odds were too small. They were almost going to win the lottery.
So, Atletico Madrid fans are very, very worried, what kind of group can they get this time?
