The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 957
957 The Golden Stadium Had a Good Start
After the 2008-2009 Champions League draw, Zhong Cheng immediately flew back to England.
Because the next day, Leeds United will usher in the third Premier League game of the season!
Leeds United are home to Blackburn in this round. Blackburn are now 1-1 with three shocking goals and four goals, but they are now ranked fifth in the league.
The matches are important to Leeds United.
It was because Leeds United’s results were a bit bad now, and they were ranked last.
Although this is just the beginning of the league, Leeds United must not fall too far behind. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the teams ahead.
There weren’t many people paying attention to this match!
There wasn’t much to watch this game, but it was important for both Leeds United and Blackburn.
Blackburn coach Paul Innes said: “Our opponents are very strong and this is a great challenge for us. I believe we will win in the end!”
Yes, now the head coach of Blackburn is Paul Ince!
Paul Ince is a famous figure in English football!
Paul Ince was England’s soul midfielder and the team’s first black captain. He was a brilliant player in his career. He came from West Ham, but he was a witness to the Reds’ Manchester United dynasty, where he became a real superstar and a soul midfielder for England.
After that, he played for several clubs and even went to Inter Milan to develop.
Paul Innes has only retired for a few years, but now he is the head coach of Blackburn.
This summer, Blackburn’s transfer market was boosted by the arrival of former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson, Chile international midfielder Villanueva, Manchester United defender Simpson on loan and Turin midfielder Guera.
They started the league well, one win and one draw.
This result was even better than Leeds United’s. Leeds United were one win and one loss.
Leeds United are not at their best. At this time, the Leeds United players who are going to the Olympics are back to train with the team. But they are really not going to play this game.
Including Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo has just flown back from Monaco with Zhong Cheng. He’s going to play tonight. That’s impossible!
Hence, Leeds United were a semi-starter in this match. This was an opportunity for Blackburn.
Paul Ince said: “Leeds United are very strong, but they are not at their best right now. And they are not in full form yet, so we have a chance to win this game!”
Yes, Paul Innes is very confident in this game and they are confident Leeds United will win.
Zhong Cheng did not say much about this match. This match was indeed very difficult.
Because Leeds United’s lineup is uneven and time is running out. He had just returned and was about to lead the team. It was indeed very difficult!
On the day of the competition, Zhong Cheng’s spirit wasn’t at its best!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just won the title of Champions League Player of the Year, is sitting straight on the bench in a suit, but he is not in good spirits,
The starting lineup for Leeds United was like this:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Patrick Aver, Gary Cahill, Compani and Glen Johnson
Single waist: Sedu Keita
Three avant-garde “left to right”: Gareth Bale, Jaya Toure and Hulk
Twin strikers: Diego Milito and Edinson Cavani
Yes, Compani appeared in the starting lineup today. He has been back at Leeds United for a week and today is the starting lineup. The same was true of Hulk, who had returned with Compani.
David Lewis, on the other hand, did not start today and sat on the bench.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Belgian national Olympic team’s main central defensive team was the combination of Compani and David Luis. This central defensive team was very powerful, and was even said to be several levels higher than other teams.
The head coach of the Brazilian national team said it was his fault that he missed David Luis. He did not choose David Luis and let David Luis choose Belgium. The Brazilian national team missed out on the future central defender of the national team. He still blamed himself.
I wonder what Zhong Cheng was thinking about not letting David Louis start today.
The starting lineup for Blackburn was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Paul Robinson
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Olson, Nelson, Kisanishvili and Simpson
Four midfielders “from left to right”: Greira, Villanueva, Warnock and Andrews
Double strikers: Roberts and Pedelson
This was the starting line-up for the game, and it was clear that Paul Ince wanted to win the game.
At this moment, the competition began.
Although Blackburn wanted to win this game, they didn’t act rashly!
Really, Paul Ince was still a little afraid of Leeds United. Leeds United’s counter-attack was very powerful. He did not dare to attack immediately, so he was a little cowardly.
At this moment, Leeds United suddenly launched an attack.
Hulk, who started today, did a very good job. This guy was very excited. Maybe it was because he saw Cristiano Ronaldo sitting on the sidelines.
Hulk himself knows that he will apparently be a substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo at Leeds United this season. However, Hulk was unwilling to accept his fate just like that. He still had to compete to let Zhong Cheng see his strength.
The Hulk team worked very hard and played very well in this match.
Just now, after Hulk received a cross from Yaya Touré in the middle, he quickly turned around and cut into the ball, carrying the defenders in like a humanoid tank.
Hulk went into Blackburn’s box and suddenly falsified the football.He put the ball at the feet of midfielder Diego Milito.
Diego Milito easily swept the ball into Blackburn’s goal.
Leeds United took the lead 1-0.
The greatest credit for Leeds United’s goal was naturally with Hulk!
Hulk’s performance this time was really excellent. He directly barred the defenders into the opponent’s restricted area and then sent out an excellent pass.
On the bench, Cristiano Ronaldo kept applauding.
The mastery on the sidelines was aimed directly at Cristiano Ronaldo, and the director was terrible. However, Cristiano Ronaldo was not as calm as everyone had imagined, which disappointed the director.
Zhong Cheng kept applauding from the sidelines. Hulk really did perform well!
At this time, Hulk’s body was already very strong, and he knew how to use his body. In the Premier League, Hulk was not at a disadvantage, and he also occupied the peak. Zhong Chengzhen’s nodded slightly, it was very good.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is still the main player in the heart of the midfielder.
Hulk has been a substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo this season. Of course, Hulk was also a substitute for the striker. Hulk had a body, and his speed wasn’t slow. He could still play forward. He could ambush Diego Milito.
However, on the defensive line, Hulk was ranked behind Edinson Cavani and Alexander Pato.
Hence, Hulk has been a major substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo this season. He came back to squeeze out Marco Royce, and Blackburn coach Paul Innes shook his head. Leeds United are so talented.
Paul Ince suddenly thought of asking Blackburn to go to Leeds United to loan one or two players, such as Marco Royce or Hulk?
At this moment, the game on the pitch was still going on, and Blackburn were behind when they attacked.
It was clear that Paul Ince had put down his burden at this moment and was fighting Leeds United head-on. They attacked ferociously, but the busiest was indeed their goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
To tell the truth, there was something else about facing Paul Robinson, his old owner. But soon the feeling dissipated, for he was too busy to think of him.
Just a moment ago, Diego Milito received a cross from winger Gareth Bale, heading close to breaking Blackburn’s goal. Fortunately, Paul Robinson reacted in time, otherwise Leeds United would be finished.
Corner kicks, Leeds United get the chance to corner kicks.
Gareth Bale of the corner kicked the ball backwards, and Compani jumped high into the air, crashing down on Blackburn centre-back Nelson’s head and smashing the ball into Blackburn’s goal.
Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson touched the ball, but the ball still hit the goal. Compani’s header was really heavy.
2-0, 2-0 in the first half. Leeds United’s game is already stable.
Soon after, the second half of the game began. Leeds United were in control of the situation. Blackburn had undergone many changes, but they were still unable to threaten Leeds United’s goal. Paul Robinson is still the busiest man on the pitch, and if it weren’t for him, Blackburn would have been a jam by now.
The game continued and Leeds United attacked ferociously.
It seemed that the victory at Crown Stadium had to continue. Blackburn could not stop Leeds United from advancing. Paul Ince quickly accepted the fate of failure and gave up the struggle.
Leeds United continued to attack. Hulk was really excited and excited today. His attack was very ferocious. He seemed to have endless power as he frantically attacked, threatening Blackburn’s goal.
Hulk’s efforts were not in vain. In the thirty-sixth minute of the second half of the game, Hulk shot out from the front of the restricted area and smashed the football into Blackburn’s goal.
Leeds United beat Blackburn 3-0 in their home game at Crown Stadium.
