The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 970
970 More Optimistic About Levandovsky
Zhong Cheng brought his team back to England to prepare for the weekend’s Premier League.
It was said to be a weekend, but in fact, it was only two days later!
This time was still very tense. The weekly double matches required a very high level of physical fitness for the players. Especially for teams like this in Europe, they still needed to fly a long distance, so their physical fitness would be even more exhausted.
For Zhong Cheng, this weekend’s game was a difficult one.
Of course, next week is the same!
Because next week, Leeds United will continue to play double games. Next week, the Carling Cup will reach the third round and all the Premier League teams will enter. Naturally, Leeds United is no exception.
Fortunately, the Carling Cup is next week’s mid-week, and Leeds United are replacing some of the younger players to play, just as they did last season.
Next week, Leeds United will also play at home. Fortunately, they don’t have to travel too much. This is the only good news.
Now that Zhong Cheng was busy with the Leeds United match, he had no time to worry about Huntelaar and Sheffield Wednesday.
However, at this time, the most popular news on the continent was Sheffield Wednesday.
The Manchester Evening News claims Sheffield Wednesday ‘s head coach Van Gaal is running out of time, Sheffield on Wednesday have been looking for new coaches, including Rogers, who now coaches Leiden East, DiMatteo, Milton Cairns, Old Redknapp, Portsmouth and even Juande Ramos, who has just left Tottenham Hotspur.
The Manchester Evening News said: “Obviously, Kramer is very concerned about the success of Leeds United. He thinks that Leeds United’s tactics are very powerful. Their Sheffield United team is also going to follow the Leeds United line on Wednesday. Whether it is the introduction of players or the head coach, they value Leeds contacts, especially after Loria arrives at Leeds United!”
The same is true of the fans, otherwise Kramer would not have wanted to bring in Rogers and DiMatteo. This heat is now in the low league, Rogers is here in the Champions League, the results are very good, Dimatteo is in the League, the results are also very good.
But neither has the experience of coaching a Premier League team alone, and Sheffield on Wednesday wanted to choose one of the two teams, which means Kramer is really optimistic about Leeds United.
And at this time The Sun claimed they had photographed Sheffield Wednesday’s president Kramer contacting DiMatteo privately.
The Sun even claimed that Kramer had confirmed the dismissal of the team’s head coach, Jean-Claude Van Gaal.
Kramer chose his good gay friend Huntelaar between Van Gaal and Huntelaar!
The grudge between Huntelaar and Van Gargh was already known to everyone. Clearly, it was impossible for the two of them to coexist. Kramer chose Huntelaar.
Huntelaar and Van Gaal are in a bad mood now. Huntelaar did not even make the roster for the weekend game. It is said that their relationship has dropped to a freezing point.
It was also claimed that Sheffield Wednesday’s president, Kramer, had even spoken to Van Gaal to get Huntelaar back in the starting line-up, but Van Gaal directly threw Huntelaar out of the 18-man list.
Van Gaal’s personality was indeed very strong!
It was precisely because of this that the British media claimed that Van Gaal was doomed.
Of course, Zhong Cheng did not pay too much attention to these news. Zhong Cheng was preparing for the upcoming tournament.
Next up is the fifth round of the Premier League next season, when they play Newcastle United at home.
To be honest, Newcastle United are not very strong.
But this game was still very difficult for Leeds United because they flew to France in the middle of the week and played a very important game which consumed a lot of money. Newcastle United, on the other hand, are waiting for their turn, and although this weekend will be a trip, it is much better than Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng thought about it for a moment, but he still put out a full-fledged lineup. The starting list was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zhong Zheng
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, David Lewis and Lixi Steiner
Single waist: Sedu Keita
Three avantgarde “left to right”: Gareth Bale. Lika Modric and Marco Royce
Twin strikers: Diego Milito and Alexander Pato
At the beginning of the game, Leeds United chose to defend and counterattack.
Because they were really exhausted in the middle of the week, in order to ensure the fitness of this game, Leeds United did not take the risk to choose a fierce attack.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated Leeds United’s fitness problems, so they launched a wild onslaught from the start, surrounding Leeds United.
Apparently, Newcastle United were bombarded this time.
Newcastle United are looking to Andy Carroll as the next Alan Shearer, with a young center starting in the Newcastle United squad.
So, at this time, Newcastle United fans are very happy.
To be honest, Andy Carroll did a great job at the start of the game, heading from the side in the penalty area.
However, Leeds United centre-backs David Louis and Gary Cahill still have a lot of disruption to him, so it’s not very comfortable.
However, Andy Carroll’s threat was obvious!
Albertini said beside Zhong Cheng, “This young man has great potential!”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, “He has some potential, but he is too different from Robert in our array. I still prefer Robert!”
Albertini naturally knew who Zhong Cheng was referring to as Robert, and that was Levandovsky, who was sitting on the bench.
Albertini was also optimistic about Levandovsky, but he still thought Andy Carroll was a bit more awesome, but he didn’t say anything.
After all, Andy Carroll is in the Premier League starting line-up now, while Lewandowski is only sitting on the bench waiting for a chance.
However, Andy Carroll was targeted by Leeds United after the first few good chances, so there are not many chances now. Sure enough, Andy Carroll is still young and the Newcastle United manager is very anxious.
Zhong Cheng sat quietly on the sidelines and watched. There should be no suspense in this match.
Leeds United defended very tightly, Newcastle United had fewer and fewer chances, and they had more counter-attack chances.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Leeds United had a very good counter-attack.
Leeds United ‘s backcourt David Louis sent a long kick straight to the front wing of Gareth Bale, After Gareth Bale unloaded the football, he ruthlessly kicked the football out. The Newcastle United full-back, who was ignoring him, came over with a super winger. He passed the Newcastle United full-back like lightning, and then directly went down to talk about the ball crossing the middle.
The football rolled quickly to the feet of midfielder Diego Milito.
Diego Milito shot straight into Newcastle United’s goal.
Leeds United took a 1-0 lead.
Seeing the lead, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. This match should be stable. It is difficult for Newcastle United to threaten Leeds United. Leeds United are very strong.
Newcastle United fans felt extremely regretful. Originally, they should have scored. They had already obtained countless chances before. Unfortunately, they didn’t grasp it. What a pity. If you didn’t grasp the chance, they would have scored.
Newcastle United were frantically attacking after conceding the goal and it was clear they were unconvinced.
Newcastle United’s attack was very ferocious. They flooded towards Leeds United like a tidal wave. They wanted to level the score and try very ferociously one by one.
But because of that, their defensive line is very empty.
Before the end of the first half, Leeds United seized another chance to counterattack.
The goal was scored by Alexander Pato, who received a straight shot from midfielder Luca Modric and went offside, heading straight to Newcastle United’s goal.
Seeing this, the Newcastle United felt that there was no hope for them.
However, at the beginning of the second half, they had relied on a corner kick and Andy Carroll’s header to save a goal. They saw hope,
But just three minutes later, Leeds United’s Gareth Bale’s goal put an end to their hopes.
Gareth Bale was a lightning-fast winger who shot into Newcastle United’s goal from the corner of the box.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was wearing a straight suit in the stands, kept applauding when he saw the ball and thought it was very beautiful and perfect.
Leeds United are 3-1 ahead of Newcastle United.
The game was not over yet. Newcastle United continued to attack. They did not give up. They attacked crazily and did their best. However, they did not have much confidence in themselves, thinking that this match was almost over.
Newcastle United came up with an attack that was very empty and gave the Leeds United a chance. The substitute Hulk seized the opportunity to score his first official goal for Leeds United in a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United with three points.
Hulk’s goal was very beautiful. After receiving the football, he pretended to go down and quickly cut inwards. Then, he swung his leg about 30 meters away from the goal and fiercely hit the football. With a bang, the football shot towards Newcastle United’s goal like an unloaded cannon ball.
The Newcastle United goalkeeper saw the ball go blank and could only watch as the ball flew into his own goal.
The ball was extremely powerful. The Leeds United fans were very excited and excited. They gave Hulk thunderous applause one after another. This fellow was indeed not bad.
Leeds United scored three points in this match, as Zhong Cheng had expected.
Of course, there were some dangers in this game, such as Andy Carroll. This guy was really good and caused some trouble for Leeds United. However, even so, Zhong Cheng was still more optimistic about Levandovsky.
