Episode [153]: It Seems that Our Fate Is Over!

Not long after conceding a goal last time, Leeds United conceded again.

This time it was Simon Davis of the Fulham team who shot in and out. The football hit Kompany and changed direction, and the football flew into Leeds United's goal.

Two to zero, Fulham led Leeds United two to zero at the end of the first half.

This really surprised all Leeds United fans, what is the situation?

The second half of the game had just started, and Leeds United suddenly rose. Luca Toni received a cross from Joaquin in the penalty area, directly headed the goal and scored a goal.

At this time, just one minute had passed since the start of the second half of the game.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Edinson Cavani received a through ball from Yaya Toure in the penalty area and sent the football into Fulham's goal with a burst shot, 2-2 flat.

In the 30th minute of the second half, Gareth Bale crossed the ball into the Fulham penalty area, and Fulham's central defender Sart Wright accidentally pushed the ball into himself. The goal, Leeds United is 3 to 2, overtaking the score.

The fans of Leeds United were all excited and jumped up excitedly. This is a shocking reversal. However, the Leeds United were not happy for long. At the end of the game, Fulham's Simon Davis made a flat pass, and Sagna fell to the ground to make a clearance and accidentally shoveled the football into his own goal. , Three to three.

Leeds United were held to a draw by Fulham at their home ground, Elland Road.

No one thought that the last two goals in this game came from five own goals. This game is really full of drama.

Leeds United are very uncomfortable, because they are in desperate need of grabbing points, and they lost two points, which is really unlucky.

In the twenty-third round of the league, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday all won, and only Leeds United got a draw.

Now Manchester United ranks first in the league with 57 points, followed by Leeds United with 52 points, Chelsea with 49 points, ranking third, and fourth is Liverpool with 43 points. Arsenal ranked fifth with 42 points, Sheffield Wednesday ranked sixth with 40 points, and Bolton ranked seventh with 40 points.

Leeds United was once again widened by Manchester United. Now they are still five points behind Manchester United, and Chelsea behind them are also catching up, only three points away.

The current situation of Leeds United is still relatively crisis.

During this period of time, things are really going wrong for Leeds United. First, they lost to Arsenal in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final, followed by serious injuries to Ribéry and others, which affected the internal stability and future development of Leeds United, and now they were equalized by Fulham. It's bad.

Zhong Cheng hopes that the team can transfer as soon as possible, at least in the transfer market.

Zhong Cheng hopes that the transfer department can bring him good news and hopes to win Harry Kewell. If Harry Kewell can return to Leeds United, this will definitely be earthquake-level news for Leeds.

The transfer department staff of Leeds United take this matter very seriously and seriously.

At this time, they brought back news from Liverpool that Liverpool agreed to sell Harry Kewell, but there was a prerequisite.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cheng's face darkened, and he knew it very well without the staff reporting. This guy Benitez wants Mascherano, so he must exchange him for Mascherano.

Sure enough, Leeds United transfer staff told Zhong Cheng, "Benitez hopes to exchange Harry for Mascherano!"

Zhong Cheng frowned, the damn Benitez was waiting for him here.

Tim Collins, a staff member of the transfer department, said: "Boss, I think this transaction can be carried out. After all, Harry went out of our Leeds United youth training. He is an iconic figure of our Leeds United. If he can come back, we will The morale of the Leeds United team will be high, and the fans of the Leeds United team will also go crazy. At that time, all the fans will love you very much..."

Zhong Cheng waved his hand directly and said: "It's not worth it! Mascherano is an indispensable member of the team, but Harry Kewell is not. Do you also know why our club brought in players from the left? If Harry Kewell is back, what about him and Frank?"

Tim Collins was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Then why did you bring in Harry?"

Zhong Cheng said directly: "If you spend money to introduce Harry Kewell, it is feasible, but if you want to use Mascherano to replace it, the gain outweighs the loss!"

Tim Collins sighed slightly, it seemed that their club would not be able to introduce Harry Kewell.

In fact, everyone in Leeds United hopes to see Harry Kewell return. Now it seems that this is really unrealistic.

Zhong Cheng said directly: "Continue to contact the Liverpool team, tell them that Mascherano is no good, and ask them how much it is. If it really doesn't work, let's talk about loan. Anyway, Harry Kewell doesn't have any games at their club now. I think Benitez would be happy if he rents it out to find his status!"

Tim Collins' eyes lit up, it works!

Tim Collins immediately turned around to deal with this matter, and he was very attentive. They all hope that Harry Kewell can return to Leeds United. Even if he can't buy it, it would be good to rent it back for half a season. He is trying his best to make this happen.

But Zhong Cheng is now ready to make second-hand preparations. Zhong Cheng feels that the chances of Leeds United getting Harry Kewell are not very high, because he and Benitez have already had conflicts before. This guy is definitely not willing to loan Harry Kewell to Leeds United.

Now, Zhong Cheng is ready to attack Harry Kewell's national teammate Bresciano.

Yes, last time it was said that Zhong Cheng had a crush on two Australians, one of whom was Bresciano.

Marco Bresciano is an Italian-Australian. He is 26 years old and was born in Australia. He started playing in Italy at the age of 19 and was selected for the Australian national team at the age of 21. It can be said that he became famous at a young age.

In July 2002, he moved to Parma and joined the team with a worth of more than 13 million US dollars. He instantly surpassed Mark Viduka and became the player with the highest transfer value in Australia at that time. He was only 22 years old at the time.

Before he moved to Parma, he had also discussed transfer matters with Leeds United and Juventus, but in the end he did not succeed, so he chose Parma.

Therefore, Bresciano and Leeds United are also somewhat related, and he almost joined Leeds United.

In the 2003-2004 season, Bresciano was the midfielder with the most goals among the midfielders in Serie A. His talent is very good and his strength is also very strong. He is a famous player in Serie A.

Bresciano, who can play multiple positions, is a very good addition.

At the beginning of this season, Bresciano was transferred to the Palermo team, but after coming to the Palermo team, his performance was not very good, and he soon went to the main position, and now he is still sitting on the bench waiting Opportunity, his appearances this season are extremely dismal. And at this time, Bresciano also wanted to leave the team.

Palermo's thoughts are more complicated. While wanting to send Bresciano away, they are also reluctant to send Bresciano away. The reason for wanting to send him away is that his state and performance have been very bad this season. The reason for his reluctance is that Bresciano is a player who has proven himself in Serie A and is a very strong midfielder. Given enough time, he will definitely rise again.

Therefore, Palermo is very entangled now.

At this time, a fax from Leeds United was sent to the Palermo club, 13 million pounds, and Leeds United wanted to introduce Bresciano.

This price is much higher than the price they imported Bresciano from Parma.

Palermo is still very excited about this price, but they are still entangled in whether to sell Bresciano. They did not reply to Leeds United immediately, they are considering it.

While thinking about Palermo, Zhong Cheng received a call from Benitez.

On the phone, Benitez said: "Mr. Loya, we still mean that, as long as you hand over Mascherano, Harry Kewell will be yours, and we are even willing to add some cash, what do you think?" ?”

It can be seen that Benitez attaches great importance to Mascherano.

Zhong Cheng smiled wryly, and then said: "Mr. Benitez, I still say that, Mascherano is not for sale in our club. To be honest, we shouldn't involve Mascherano in this matter." We can pay Harry Kewell a lot of money in one transfer."

Benitez shook his head directly and said: "If there is no Mascherano, nothing will be discussed!"

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Benitez, it seems that you are determined. If this is the case, then let's rent Harry Kewell for half a season!"

Benitez frowned slightly, not expecting Zhong Cheng to change suddenly.

Before Zhong Cheng let Benitez speak, he continued: "Harry Kewell has recovered from his injury for a while, but you still dare not use him. It is better to let him rot on the bench. Loan him out to exercise, what if he returns to his peak form? You Liverpool will make a lot of money, and our Leeds United will become your experimental base. The biggest advantage of our experimental base is that you can use it for free. Let's take a big risk for this player who doesn't know what his current state is like!"

Hearing this, Benitez fell into a brief thought.

Benitez does not deny that what Zhong Cheng said is correct, and this method is also more beneficial to the Liverpool team. But Benitez responded quickly: "Mr. Loya, your proposal is very tempting. But I'm sorry, our Liverpool has no intention of renting Harry. If you really want Harry, then please use Mas Celano in exchange, we can even add £3 million in cash!"

Zhong Cheng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Harry Kewell and Leeds United had no fate.

Zhong Cheng didn't argue with Benitez anymore, he said directly: "In this case, we have nothing to talk about, Mr. Benitez. Let's do it today. Good luck, Mr. Benitez! "

After hanging up on Benitez, Zhong Cheng sent a message to the transfer department directly, saying: "Give up the transfer of Harry Kewell and try to attack Bresciano. I hope you can give Bresciano to me as soon as possible." Get Leeds, whether it's a loan or a buyout, I need someone to see him before the end of the transfer period, you know?"

Immediately Tim Collins said, "Got it, boss!"
