The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 975
975 Send Some for No Apparent Reason!
Du!
The referee, Burch, blew the official whistle for the start of the match.
At the beginning of the game, Eindhoven flooded into Leeds United’s restricted area like a tidal wave. This was a fierce attack!
Yes, Eindhoven, as everyone had imagined, attacked ferociously.
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. It was indeed the Dutch team. They are really the opposite of the Italian team. The Dutchman’s body is naturally full of adventure, stimulation and offense, so Dutch football is always offensive football. It is very popular for a three-striker formation.
Although Eindhoven was not a three-striker today, this formation was not a three-striker but a three-striker. Sometimes, this formation could even become a four-striker, a 3-3-4 formation! You have to praise the Dutchman for his courage and madness!
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng was extremely calm.
He really wasn’t afraid of Eindhoven’s crazy attack!
Zhong Cheng was very confident in Leeds United’s defense, and Eindhoven shouldn’t be used to Leeds United’s melee defense.
Yes, Leeds United’s Fang said it was oppressive and had a lot of physical contact. It was a meat grinder, and Eindhoven’s players might not be able to handle it.
At the beginning of the game, Eindhoven launched a very threatening attack.
Winger Weik Longcamp received a pass from midfielder Simmons, then went down to the bottom and Bacar jumped high in the middle, heading the goal. The football whistled towards Leeds United’s goal.
The speed of the ball was really too fast, just like a bolt of lightning!
The Leeds United fans’ breathing froze and there was no sound. At that moment, the Crown Stadium was abnormally quiet.
Just when everyone thought that the ball was unintentional, Zhong Zheng flashed out!
“Nice save! Aldrich is really amazing. He easily caught the ball. Perfect!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
The Leeds United fans cheered excitedly and gave the applause to Zhong Zheng.
Zhong Zheng had never disappointed them before. Zhong Zheng was their Gate God, and thunderous applause surged towards Zhong Zheng.
On the sidelines, Cocu kept shaking his head. This was a very good opportunity!
If this goal was scored, the pressure on Eindhoven’s body would instantly dissipate. It would be of great help in the face-to-face match, so that the match could be won easily.
But without the goal, Eindhoven’s players were under a lot of pressure.
Leeds United attacked. They slowed down the pace of the attack. This was something the Eindhoven did not want to see. Eindhoven wanted to bring the pace up and be faster. This was good for them.
Obviously, the Eindhoven people would not let the rhythm of the Undying fall into the rhythm of Leeds United. They immediately frantically rushed forward like hungry wolves and ferociously rushed towards the Leeds United players.
The Leeds United players weren’t in a hurry, because they often did this kind of thing. They were also very confident in dealing with this kind of thing, passing the ball back and forth. If they couldn’t, they could directly pass the football back. Leeds United weren’t in a hurry to attack now and wanted to walk the Eindhoven like a dog.
Then Leeds United waited for a chance to retaliate.
The Eindhoven people did not hesitate to frantically snatch it, but the effect was really not great.
When Cocu saw this, he frowned. If this continued, he would be doomed!
But if Eindhoven did not do so at this time, Leeds United would directly control the pace of the game, which would make Eindhoven even more uncomfortable.
That was why Cocu frowned.
The game was even more difficult than he had imagined. Leeds United were indeed very strong.
However, Eindhoven will not give up. Eindhoven definitely cannot let Leeds United control the rhythm of the game. Cocu also believes that they will definitely be able to disrupt Leeds United’s rhythm.
But at this moment, Leeds United’s Luca Modric suddenly sent out a straight shot, a sudden straight shot, a penetrating straight shot!
More importantly, Luca Modric’s pass was very sudden!
Previously, he had already retreated to the defensive line. When he passed the ball, he was standing in front of the two centre-backs. He seemed to be forced back into the restricted area, but in reality, he was looking for the best opportunity to counterattack!
Luca Modric’s kick was perfect!
The oblique plug directly pierced through Eindhoven’s net and, more importantly, the football quickly rolled past Eindhoven’s two players, Ke Longkamp and Uyterns, and then over their feet!
It was right in front of them and could be touched with just a stretch of his leg.
But they couldn’t stretch their legs, because they were all in a state of rushing forward and snatching. It was too late to stop hurriedly and stretch their legs again, and the football rolled past them so quickly.
The Leeds United fans roared with excitement and applauded wildly.
Luca Modritsch’s pass was so exquisite that Marcellus didn’t even stop him and rolled behind him. Marco Reus flew like a bolt of lightning and instantly sliced into the restricted area.
Leeds United fans jumped up and frantically waved their fists.
“Wow! That’s a beautiful straight shot. Luca Modric’s Master-class straight shot pierced through everyone in Eindhoven. It’s dangerous. The Eindhoven are going to die.” Mark Lawrence exclaimed.
“Chance! Leeds United’s chance has come. Marco Reus has passed, awesome!” Eddie Gray stood up.
Both sides were trembling in midfield for the first 20 minutes. Leeds United were forced by Eindhoven and even Luca Modric was forced back to the defence. But at this moment, Leeds United launched a counterattack that was not as fast as the Ear Stealing Bell!
Now that many people had reacted, Leeds United must have done this on purpose!
Didn’t the ancients once say, “It hurts even more to withdraw your fist!”
The Leeds United counterattack came very quickly.
Cocu couldn’t sit still and immediately jumped up. His eyes were fixed on the field, filled with worry, naked worry.
The Eindhoven fans took in more breaths of cold air and were in danger.
It’s really dangerous, Eindhoven’s left-wing defence is almost completely paralyzed, pierced through by Luca Modric’s straightforward kick and crippled.
Cocu sucked in a breath of cold air. Luca Modric was extremely powerful!
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Leeds United’s Marco Reus.
By now, Marco Reus had the football.
Only Marco Reus knew how comfortable Luca Modric’s pass was. Marco Reus easily caught the ball and gave Luca Modric a thumbs up in his heart.
The ball was simply too comfortable to pass.
Marco Reus didn’t even need to slow down to get the ball out of his way and into Eindhoven’s box.
“It’s in the box. Marco Reus took the ball into Eindhoven’s box. There’s only Blechette and Isaacson in front of him. What would Marco Reus do? Will he score?” Eddie Gray was very nervous.
All of the Leeds associates present were extremely nervous, and their palms were pinched with sweat.
“Defend! Stop him, even if it’s a foul!” At this moment, Cocu was roaring crazily on the sidelines, shouting loudly and pointing at his team members.
But just as he said that, he felt that something was wrong. What did he mean even if it was a foul? Now that Marco Reus is inside Eindhoven’s box, isn’t this a penalty for Leeds United?
Cocu couldn’t wait to give himself two mouths. How could his brain be short-circuited at this time?
Very quickly, Cocu realized that it wasn’t just him who was short-circuited, there was also his team’s centre-back, Blechette, and that this fellow’s brain was also short-circuited.
Perhaps it was because he heard his own crazy roar that Blechette actually took a foul and used both hands and feet to quickly put Marco Reus to the ground. Cocu closed his eyes in despair. This damn fellow!
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Why was this? Was it so easy to give Leeds a penalty?
The referee immediately blew his whistle, pointed firmly at the penalty spot with his right hand, and showed Blechette a yellow card.
Hearing Burch’s whistle, Blechette finally realized what kind of stupid thing he had done.
Blechette shook his head. He really didn’t understand why he was so obsessed at that time. And dash up and take down Marco Reus?
I don’t understand. Blechette really doesn’t understand!
The Eindhoven fans were all dumbfounded. Wasn’t this game a fake ball?
Yes, the Leeds United players were skeptical about whether this game was a fake ball. How else could I explain Blechette’s foul? Wasn’t it obvious that he was going to give Leeds United a penalty? Who would have given Leeds a penalty so easily at a time like this?
The Eindhoven fans are speechless now!
He really had nothing to say!
Blechette held his head with both hands. He couldn’t even forgive himself. What exactly was going on with him?
Marco Reus was so excited that he directly jumped off the turf and waved his fist excitedly. He roared crazily, “Penalty! Penalty!”
But Marco Reus didn’t understand why Blechette fouled like this. Wasn’t this foul a little unjustifiable? Even Marco Reus suddenly felt that it wasn’t a fake ball, right? He couldn’t help but glance at Blechette.
