Episode [210]: Those Who Must Go and Those Who Must Stay
Manchester United defeated AC Milan 3-2 and won the first leg.
At this time, Zhong Cheng was discussing the introduction of Kaka.
Zhong Cheng saw the light in Rogers' eyes, and Zhong Cheng said: "Don't get excited, it's impossible to introduce Kaka now, at least we have to wait two or three more seasons!"
Hearing what Zhong Cheng said, Rogers smiled wryly, and suddenly lost interest.
However, Rogers said suddenly: "Boss, let's not talk about whether to attract players or not. What I want to say now is that some players on our team want to leave!"
Zhong Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
Zhong Cheng naturally knows who wants to leave, because he can see that he is not a fool.
Zhong Cheng said: "I know who you are talking about, but he is not a player of our team. It is normal for him to want to leave!"
Rogers looked up at Zhong Cheng, then nodded thoughtfully.
I can see it myself. As the head coach and owner of the team, Zhong Cheng can certainly see it too.
Rogers said immediately: "Then boss, what should we do?"
Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "Don't panic, he is not our player in the first place, he just came to us on loan, it's normal to want to leave!"
Rogers snorted coldly: "Hmph, what an ungrateful guy. When he was cast aside by the whole world when he was questioned by the whole world, who was behind him and stood up for him? It was you, it was you."
Rogers was very upset in his heart, and continued: "If you hadn't given him a chance crazily, he would have been scolded for being too humble, and would never stand up. This damn guy, now that he is a little famous, he just raised his braids and wanted to fly away. He is really an ungrateful guy!"
Zhong Cheng said with a wry smile: "You can't say that. After all, he came on loan. It's normal to want to leave. Besides, he is a very homesick person. It may not be a good thing to stay in our Leeds United team!"
Yes, it was Tevez who made Rogers angry, Tevez was homesick!
Zhong Cheng already knew about Carlos Tevez's desire to leave Leeds United.
He knew it even before Tevez exploded. Carlos Tevez misses life in Argentina and his hometown very much, and he can't stay here for a moment.
Carlos Tevez also dislikes the life and atmosphere in England very much, and his intention to leave is very clear.
Zhong Cheng doesn't blame Tevez, after all, he came on loan. Once the one-year loan period expires, he will go back to Corinthians, Brazil.
Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that Tevez's manager wanted him to stay in Europe. When I rented it out at the beginning, it was to prove myself and ask for a good price.
It stands to reason that at this time, Carlos Tevez should have stayed at Leeds United.
However, both Tevez and his agent proposed to leave Leeds United on the grounds that Tevez was not familiar with life here and Tevez wanted to go back to America.
To be honest, Tevez's inseparability has little impact on Leeds United.
It's really not big at all!
Because, Leeds United's strikers are still not short of people. Now Leeds United's strikers include Luca Toni, Edinson Cavani, Darren Bent and Nicholas Bendtner. To be honest, there are so many people.
Moreover, when the new season comes, Leeds United can also recall Hulk who is far away in Belgium. Hulk should be able to obtain Belgian nationality. The most important thing is that Zhong Cheng can call Alexandre Pato from Brazil.
To be honest, even if Tevez didn't want to leave, Zhong Cheng would send him away.
Because after Pato's arrival, Leeds United's strikers were a little too full. Compared with Tevez, Zhong Cheng believed in other strikers more.
By the way, Leeds United's reserve team now has a future king striker Vardy.
So, now Zhong Cheng really has no shortage of forwards, if Tevez wants to leave, then go.
Zhong Cheng continued: "Since he wants to leave, let him leave. We have no shortage of strikers, and we don't have a contract to bind him. Let him go! However, we have to talk about Mascherano!"
Yes, Mascherano is also on loan to Leeds United.
During the winter transfer, Liverpool's Benitez once made an offer to Leeds United, wanting to introduce Mascherano. Because at the beginning of this season, Mascherano joined Leeds United on loan, but many people outside did not know that Mascherano was on loan, thinking that Leeds United bought it out.
Therefore, Benitez will offer to Leeds United. If Benitez knew that Mascherano was on loan, he would have already made offers to Corinthians and Mascherano's brokerage companies.
Because it was a winter transfer at that time, and the Premier League was relatively busy, and there were Champions League games, so Benitez temporarily gave up. However, Zhong Cheng knows that this matter cannot be concealed for long, and now, they must get rid of Mascherano as soon as possible.
Of course Zhong Cheng knew that it was easy to deal with Mascherano's side, but the difficult thing to deal with was Mascherano's agency. If they wanted them to hand over all of Mascherano's ownership, Leeds United would have to bleed a lot.
However, Zhong Cheng admired Mascherano very much, so he reminded Rogers to settle the matter of Mascherano and not let Benitez take advantage of the loophole.
Rogers immediately said: "Understood, boss, I will take care of Javier's matter right away!"
Zhong Cheng nodded his head, and Zhong Cheng would feel relieved after the matter of Javier Mascherano was settled.
Rogers also said: "Boss, what about Tevez?"
Zhong Cheng waved his hand directly and said, "Let him go, our club is a striker, and Tevez is not missing!"
Knowing what Zhong Cheng meant, Rogers nodded, then got up and left.
━━━Separation line━━━
In the thirty-sixth round of the Premier League, Leeds United played away against Wigan Athletic.
This game is naturally very, very important for Leeds United, and this is a game that cannot be lost. And Manchester United's opponent at this time is Everton. This opponent is still very strong, and Manchester United just smashed AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
Therefore, Everton should have a chance to beat Manchester United.
Zhong Cheng naturally hopes that his good friend Moyes can help him and kill Manchester United directly.
Of course, the premise is that their Leeds United team is also going to beat Wigan Athletic. Zhong Cheng is naturally very confident about this game.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Leeds United scored with a quick counterattack. It was Luca Toni who scored the goal. Luca Toni was slow in this counterattack and was slow to keep up. But he was really lucky when he followed up, and he directly got a chance to shoot an empty goal. Naturally, a striker of Luca Toni's level will not miss such an opportunity.
Luca Toni pushed the football directly into Wigan Athletic's goal. Luca Toni also scored 24 goals, leading his opponent.
Luca Toni's award for top scorer in the Premier League this season should be a foregone conclusion.
At the end of the first half, Leeds United won a corner kick. Luka Modric drove the football into Wigan Athletic's penalty area. Pique from the front point scored a header and was shot by the goalkeeper.
Luca Toni's luck was really good today. He directly completed two empty goal shots and increased his number of goals to twenty-five.
This is really too difficult for Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, and it is almost impossible to catch up. It seems that the top scorer of the Premier League this season belongs to Luca Toni.
The second half had just begun, and Wigan Athletic pulled back a goal.
However, before the end of the game, Nicholas Bendtner, who came off the bench, got a chance at the front of the penalty area and scored a long-range shot past Wigan Athletic's goal, 3-1.
Leeds United won the game 3-1, and Leeds United scored three points.
Another game between Manchester United and Everton kicked off at the same time as this one. Zhong Cheng was very concerned about this game. Everton had a 2-0 lead in the first half. At that time, Zhong Cheng and Leeds United fans were very excited. They saw the hope of overtaking Manchester United.
However, the second half of the game changed suddenly. After Alex Ferguson replaced the main force, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney scored two goals each. In the end, they defeated Everton 4-2 and scored three points.
Zhong Cheng was really speechless, such an opportunity let the Manchester United escape from death, really upset.
At the end of the thirty-sixth round of the league, Manchester United ranked first in the league with 88 points, while Leeds United still ranked second in the league with 87 points. Ranked third is Chelsea with 76 points. They have already missed the Premier League championship this season. The fourth place is still Liverpool with 66 points. In fifth place is Sheffield Wednesday with 65 points, and in sixth place is Arsenal with 65 points.
Next, Zhong Cheng is to give the team a holiday, let them have a good rest, and prepare for the next week's league. And Alex Ferguson took Manchester United to the away game to challenge AC Milan.
This game is very important for Manchester United, which focuses on their ability to advance to the UEFA Champions League final this season.
Now that we have come to this point, Manchester United will obviously not give up, they are here for the UEFA Champions League. Otherwise, how could they almost lose in the league last weekend? Manchester United had a big rotation last weekend, and Alex Ferguson wouldn't have had Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney if he hadn't seen the game was about to lose.
Alex Ferguson is hoping to win the Premier League and Champions League double.
Zhong Cheng sat in front of the TV to watch this game again. This time it was just him and Julia Oliveira, no one else. Julia Oliveira was sitting in Zhong Cheng's arms, and the two got tired of being together.
At the beginning of the game, AC Milan took the initiative. In the 21st minute of the first half, Kaka of AC Milan made a long-distance attack, and sent the football into Manchester United's goal with a heavy shot directly at the front of the penalty area.
This ball opened the prelude to AC Milan's goal.
In the tenth minute of the second half, AC Milan got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Kaka stood in front of the football, and with a beautiful arc, he sent the football directly into the Manchester United goal, making Alex Ferguson ashamed.
In the 18th minute of the second half, AC Milan played a beautiful match, Kaka assisted Seedorf and scored the winning goal.
Three to zero, AC Milan beat Manchester United at their home stadium San Siro, with a total score of five to three, and successfully advanced to the final of this season's UEFA Champions League.
