Chapter 429 Rumors
Chapter 429 Rumor
After the fourth round of the Premier League, Leiden Oriental's victory made all Premier League teams feel heavy in their hearts - they won four consecutive games at the start, scoring seven goals without losing one goal, occupying the top of the standings alone, leading the second-ranked Tottenham Hotspur two points, leading Arsenal and Liverpool four points, and leading Manchester United by five points - such a huge advantage is like a monster with a wide mouth, devouring everything.
Although after the fourth round of the league, Leiden East has 18 international players from various countries to participate in the national team competition, Leiden East's advantage remains unshakable after the league rekindled. In the next two rounds of games, they will face Middlesbrough and Fulham respectively. I'm afraid even these two teams themselves have never thought of preventing Leiden East from moving forward.
Look at Leiden Oriental's jaw-dropping frontcourt and the backcourt composed of most of the England national team's defense line. They are all famous. Although the other three of the four main players in the midfield except Gerald are already twenty-nine years old, technical players like them are in good condition. They will not be able to decline within at least one or two years.
Even if there are players like Ronaldo on the bench, how can people not be surprised?
For those teams who want to compete for the league championship with Leiden Oriental, they can only hope that Leiden Oriental's too large frontcourt will have conflicts in the locker room due to the main position competition, which will affect the atmosphere in the locker room and reduce the combat effectiveness of Leiden Oriental - although Ronaldo once said that he was willing to play as a substitute before Ronaldo came, for Ronaldo, who performed well in the World Cup, playing as a substitute would probably not be something he could tolerate.
What's more, there are young players in Leiden East's midfielder who need games like Pirlo, and Gerald, who faces him, is even younger than him. Can he wait?
Pirlo and Ronaldo are not like the old players Holland and Glencier of Leiden East. They are used to substitutes, and they are not young anymore. At the same time, they also understand that their strength is difficult to play as the main player in a team that has always pursued the championship, so they can accept playing games when the main player is suspended, physical problems and need to rest. After all, they will also have their contribution when Leiden East wins the championship in the end. Pirlo and Ronaldo are young enough and talented. If they play as a substitute for another year or two, they will definitely choose to transfer and leave like Joe Cole - this is a good result. The bad result is to create an atmosphere of dissatisfaction and emotions in the locker room, which will affect other players!
Can Xiao Ming solve this problem well? For Ferguson and Wenger, under the economic advantages of Leiden Oriental and the overall strength of the team, only Xiao Ming can rely on is unable to control the locker room - after all, Xiao Ming is still young and may not be sophisticated, but as Chairman and Head Coach Xiao Ming, even if the players are dissatisfied, they will not show it on the surface...
Just as Ferguson and Wenger were both sighing, Xiao Ming proved that he did better than Ferguson and Wenger imagined.
After the players returned from the national team, in the next two rounds of the league, Leiden Oriental gave substitutes enough opportunities to play, and Ronaldo and Pirlo played all the games. In these two league games, Leiden Oriental adopted a three-midfield double-wing single forward formation. After experimenting with this formation for a lot of times last season, Leiden Oriental's players were not affected. They beat Middlesbrough with a goal away and swept Fulham four to zero at home, turning their start in the league into a six-game winning streak - ranking first with a four-point advantage!
"Who can stop Leiden East?" This is the topic that the English media talked the most during this period. Many media even found some examples of Leiden East's failure to prove how Leiden East can lose. Among them, all Leiden East players were allowed to participate in commercial competitions, let them wear the pure white jersey of the third away jersey, and then, like Leverkusen last season, the most powerful force burst out in a certain game...
Xiao Ming remembers that in the era he was in before, after Manchester United won the triple crown, the media once made the album "How to defeat Manchester United", which included something like asking Manchester United to wear black jerseys. Now, since Manchester United has not won the triple crown, this album did not appear. Unexpectedly, it fell on Leiden Oriental now - but this also seems to mean that Leiden Oriental is the most difficult team to defeat in the Premier League in everyone's mind.
In the next first round of the Champions League, Leiden Oriental was tied 1-1 by Dynamo Kiev away. Back in the league, he tied with Newcastle 2-2 away. However, these two consecutive draws did not cause any setbacks in the morale of Leiden Oriental. Soon they defeated Feyenoord three goals at home in the Champions League, and tied with the top two in the group with four points. Because Juventus swept Dynamo Kiev five-zero at home, Leiden Oriental ranked second in the group.
Then in the eighth round of the league, Leiden Oriental defeated Aston Villa again with three goals at home, seven wins and one draw, leading Arsenal with two points, with two points, and firmly occupying the first place in the standings.
In the Champions League game, although Leiden Oriental was defeated by Juventus two goals away, they returned to home court and responded to the opponent with a 2-0 goal and continued to score with Juventus. In these two rounds of the Champions League, Dynamo Kiev defeated Feyenoord 0-0 away and 2-0 home, ranking third in the group with four points, and Feyenoord ranked last in the next Champions League game. In the next Champions League game, Leiden Oriental only needs to defeat Dynamo Kiev at home to qualify from this group one round in advance.
Because of the outstanding performance of Leiden Oriental and Juventus, although this group may become the death group before the grouping, Leiden Oriental and Juventus did not have any problems except being tied by their opponents in the first round. They defeated their opponents respectively, and then each scored three-pointers from the opponents. These two teams have already gained absolute initiative in this group.
After Lippi returned to Juventus, Juventus seemed to have regained his steady style in the European arena. After defeating Leiden East twice with Piero's score at home, they did not send all the main players away but were mainly defense. In fact, Xiao Ming also seemed to have a certain degree of tacit understanding with the opponent. In the away game against Juventus, two superstars, Ronaldo and Figo, were both on the bench, but instead used a less-used 433 formation to deal with the opponent. After returning to home, they sent all the main players to rely on Ronaldo and Fanny's goals to defeat Juventus, and also scored three points.
The group stage was just the beginning. Juventus and Leiden Oriental didn't want to compete with their strongest opponents in the group stage, nor did they want to tie the other two teams to get more opportunities. So in this case, they had a tacit understanding and each won at their home court. So although they only scored seven points after the four rounds of the league, they occupied a very favorable situation in the group.
In this case, the other two teams in the group can only accept this reality and become their goal to compete for the third place to participate in the League Cup - it is precisely for this reason that in the third and fourth rounds of the game, Dynamo Kiev and Feyenoord tried their best, and in the end, Dynamo Kiev had the upper hand, and the home victory made them very likely to enter the League Cup.
This is true. In the fifth round of the group, Leiden Oriental and Juventus, who did not consume too much physical fitness in the previous game, each defeated their opponents at home. Leiden Oriental swept four-zero home games, who once tied his own Dynamo Kiev away away, while Juventus defeated Feyenoord 2-1, both qualifying in the group one round ahead of schedule. Leiden Oriental ranked first in the group with a goal difference advantage.
While qualifying in the Champions League, Leiden Oriental performed extremely well in the league. Although he lost to his current biggest competitor Arsenal in the ninth round of the game, he was surprised to be outstanding in that game. Henry's performance was surprisingly outstanding. He made Leiden Oriental's defense line mess up through his own quick personal breakthrough. While scoring two goals, he also assisted Lyonberg to score the third goal. Although Leiden Oriental relied on Fanny's goal to save a trace of face, he still lost to his opponent and was overtaken by Arsenal.
But in the next game, Leiden East immediately regained its victory in three mid- and lower-level teams. In the tenth round, he defeated his city rival West Ham United three-to-one at home, defeated Bolton two goals away in the 11th round, and swept Charlton four-zero away in the 12th round, and 10 wins, one draw and one loss in the 12th round. In contrast, although Arsenal defeated Leiden East in a strong dialogue, the consequences of the extremely outstanding performance of that game were Arsenal's main force in the next two games.
The lineup showed a huge decline, losing to Everton and Blackburn in a row, and fell immediately after staying at the top of the standings for only one round. Leyton Oriental once again grabbed back to the top of the standings. Now, Leyton Oriental's opponent has changed again. After Manchester United has not recovered its vitality and Arsenal has lost two consecutive games, it has remained unbeaten in the league so far. Liverpool, which has won nine wins and three draws, ranks second in the standings, only one point less than Leyton Oriental.
However, in the 13th round of the league, Leiden Oriental defeated Tottenham two goals at home, while Liverpool lost to Middlesbrough with one goal away. Leiden Oriental once again took a four-point lead and took the lead in the standings.
In the league, the most goals were scored, the fewest goals were conceded, the fewest losses (both lost with Liverpool), and the most times won. When one-third of the league passed, Leiden Oriental's advantage had become quite huge, and Leiden Oriental's offense was fully utilized. Except for Fanny, who was in good shape, scored ten goals in the league and three goals in the Champions League, other frontcourt players scored not many goals, but how many goals were
Almost everyone scored goals, Ronaldo scored six, Jin Clarze and Figo scored two each, Ronaldo and Pirlo scored three goals and one goal in their few playing time. Other defensive players such as Gerrard, Ashley Cole, Hypia and Campbell even scored goals. So many goal points are second to none in the entire Premier League and even in Europe. No matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to defend so many scoring points.
What worries the opponents in the Premier League is that in the first thirteen rounds of the league, there have been cases where mid- and lower-level teams directly surrendered when facing Leiden East. In the sixth round of the league, although Fulham sent most of the main players at Brisbane Road Stadium, their players obviously were careless in the game and almost no resistance. In the twelfth round of the game, Charlton even sent all the substitutes at his home court, and then naturally played 4-0 by Leiden East. This practice caused criticism and discussion from major media after the game. Charlton's head coach disdained this. He said that his biggest task is to lead Charlton to relegation. Instead of making unnecessary resistance in the game destined to lose, why not maintain the physical fitness of the main players and grab points with other opponents?
For this discussion, Leiden East had no expression, so she chose to make a fortune in silence - if you want to argue, go and argue. Anyway, we just get a three-pointer and a three-pointer. It is better for the opponent to give up resistance in advance. If we don’t give up resistance, it will only make us more tired...
Compared with Lian Zhan Lian on the court, Leiden Oriental encountered some troubles under the court.
After Ronaldo arrived, Leiden Oriental received great attention and gained more fame, but off the court, it was no longer as quiet as before. Leiden is a quiet small town, but London is a bustling international metropolis, and there is absolutely nothing lacking in nightlife.
Before, the players of Leiden Oriental were not players who liked to spend nightlife, including the most famous Figo, Vanny and Jinklaze, who were all low-key players off the court. Although Daniel's relationship with Britney was known to everyone and made himself the favorite target of tabloids, his daily life was quite quiet. If reporters followed him, it would be a waste of time. Although Ronaldo was called the king of nightclubs in later generations, he was still young now and rarely went to nightclubs and other places. It was not interesting to play around alone.
However, after Ronaldo came, the two Ronaldo hit it off. Xiao Ming had long said that he would not interfere with the players' private lives. Therefore, although Ronaldo was quite hard in training and maintained his physical condition well, the restless heart was always ready to move off the court.
In just a few months, Ronaldo and Ronaldo frequently went in and out in nightclubs and various places have made headlines in newspapers several times. In fact, Ronaldo and Milani's marriage has basically come to an end. Although Milani and Ronaldo came to London together, according to the reporter's observation, Ronaldo did not spend the night at home almost every night. When in Milan, a reporter revealed that Milani and Ronaldo's teammate Sidorf had an affair in Inter Milan. Ronaldo's transfer was not a reason for leaving Milan, which was sad. After coming to London, Ronaldo was already stranger to Milan.
Gossip news about Leiden Oriental players began to appear in the newspapers, and Xiao Ming didn't care much about this. No matter what Ronaldo did on the court, it was his private matter. Moreover, Ronaldo has never been a calm person. Xiao Ming has long been mentally prepared for this. As long as he can show his abilities on the court, no matter how he is off the court.
As for Ronaldo, the so-called changes in the country are easy to change and his nature is hard to change. Last season, Ronaldo was honest for a season, which does not mean that he will remain honest. In fact, if you limit this kind of player to death, it will affect his performance. Brazil has never lacked such players. The more talented the player is, the more so it is. Ronaldo has to have sex before every game to score. Ronaldo's wife and girlfriend have changed one after another, and Ronaldo has never been lonely. Adriano's rapid degeneration is also related to women who smoke and drink. After all, players like Kaka are an alien. After all, Brazilian superstars born in middle-class families like him are a minority.
Xiao Ming could ignore these things, but another thing had to attract Xiao Ming's attention.
Since October, a rumor has spread in Leiden and has been quickly known to everyone - this rumor says that Leiden Oriental Club intends to buy a large piece of land in the heart of Walthamsto area, and then build a stadium that can accommodate 70,000 people, as well as a "Leedon Oriental City" including surrounding fan supplies stores, fan entertainment centers and several residential areas. For this reason, Leiden Oriental Club will invest more than 500 million pounds of funds. It is expected that the construction will be completed within three years. After that, Leiden Oriental will move out of Leiden City...
This news was first spread in a British local Leiden Oriental fan forum on the Internet. It was quite specific. Even the location was pointed out. It was the Forrest Stadium, the home court of Walthamstowe United and the large area of the district council nearby. It occupied a huge area. At first, the fans of Leiden Oriental didn't believe it very much, but after the rumors became more and more intense and multiple versions came out, they had to believe it.
When Xiao Ming learned of the rumor, it was already out of control.
"Damn it! What's going on!"
