Chapter 1： Episode [001]: The craziest fan in history

Before seven o'clock, the night had come.

The whole world seemed to be covered with black curtains and plunged into chaos without any light.

Walking on Piston Street, the rotten smell unique to the sewer was scattered around, and Zhong Cheng was sickened.

It's been a month since I came here, and Zhong Cheng hasn't been used to the environment here.

Piston Street is located in the southern suburbs of Leeds. This area belongs to the old city. It was once the economic center of Leeds during the industrial revolution. In the north and center, here is gradually forgotten, with only the old factories and clock towers left. Now it is the poor area of ​​Leeds, and the people who live here are also some low-income craftsmen.

It is a mixed population and is a mixed ethnic and multi-religious community.

Zhong Cheng is currently a part of the group. He settled here a month ago.

Walking hurriedly through the familiar streets, Zhong Cheng walked into a crowded alley. The alley was not very deep. Zhong Cheng walked to the end in a few steps.

Appearing in front of Zhong Cheng was a tightly closed rusty iron gate.

Zhong Cheng took out a key from his pants pocket, and with a little light from the surrounding residents' houses, he inserted the key into the keyhole, twisted his wrist, and clicked to unlock the lock.

Zhong Cheng pushed hard, and the heavy iron door groaned painfully, and slowly opened.

After reaching the door frame very skillfully, and pressing the light switch on the wall, the orange light instantly cut through the night and illuminated the whole room.

The house is not large, just a room, a total of only ten square meters.

The walls are mottled and the stucco wall has fallen out of sight, which is more like a utility room for storing debris.

There is a single bed, a long table, and a very small wardrobe at the bedside. A box-type TV is placed on the long table, and there is a TV set next to the TV. Holding dishes, cups and other items.

Zhong Cheng walked into the room, closed the iron door, and sat down in front of the bed.

Zhong Cheng glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall, and time had come to 7.15.

Zhong Cheng groaned: "At 7.15, there is still an hour and a half before the start of the European Cup final!"

Zhong Cheng turned on the TV and found the European Cup live channel, but has not yet started broadcasting the final of the European Cup. Zhong Cheng decided to get up and get something to eat. This big day, he hasn't eaten much yet, and he is a bit hungry.

Zhong Cheng immediately got up, walked out of the house, and cooked a bowl of clear water with a coal stove in the corner of the outer wall of the house, and grunted and ate.

After clearing the battlefield, time has come to eight thirty.

The final of the European Cup has been broadcast live on television, and the famous stars McMaraman and Reinker are discussing the game and expressing their views.

On the TV, Reinker said: "Although the Portuguese eliminated us England, I still like the Portuguese. As hosts, they have a unique advantage. The Greeks have stumbled all the way to the finals. They have limited strength. Being able to advance to the finals is already a miracle. I don't think they can continue to do miracles. I guarantee that this European Cup champion must belong to Portugal! "

Mike Malaman, who was next to Lineker, immediately nodded and agreed: "I agree with Gary that the Greeks are now at the end of the crossbow. It is difficult for them to cause trouble for the Portuguese at the Stadium of Light. This game, Portugal People have won, they will win the first Draunet Cup in their history! "

Perhaps at this time, all fans in front of the TV will not object to the statement of the two, and the discerning people know that Portugal, which has many stars such as Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo, is better than Greece. The team was too much, so the Greeks couldn't create any trouble for the host Portuguese team.

However, Zhong Cheng in front of the TV didn't think so, because he was very clear that Rehagel's Greek team eventually defeated the host Portuguese team by one, zero, won the Drone Cup, and sang Greek mythology.

It is not that Zhong Cheng can count on this, but that his soul comes from the future, from 2016 AD.

In 2016, he was a gloomy football coach.

When he was young, his biggest dream was to one day become the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, leading the Chinese men's football team to the World Cup.

But after he set out on this road, he knew how difficult it was.

An ordinary worker who has no relationship, no connections, and no money wants to enter the football coaching circle in China and become the head coach of the national team. This is undoubtedly a dream.

The reality is cruel, and there is almost no way ahead.

However, he still did not give up because of his dreams. Because of his outstanding academic performance, he was accepted by the University of Cologne in Germany and occupied the full scholarship all year round.

In Germany, he began his study journey as a "football coach".

In ten years, his football has spread all over Europe's major football mecca, learned a skill, and resolutely returned home with his childhood dream.

He came back with hope, but the reality gave him a huge blow.

With an A-level coaching certificate issued by FIFA and an advanced football concept in European countries, he could not find a job as a football coach in China.

He was hit hard, and he just knew how difficult it was for outsiders like him to step into this circle.

He later found a job. His Italian friends recommended him to Marcelo Lippi, who was coaching Evergrande in Guangdong at the time, and he became a translator for Marcelo Lippi.

He stayed with Marcelo Lippi for two and a half years and experienced the glory of the AFC Champions League of Guangdong Evergrande. But after Marcelo Lippi and Cannavaro left, he also lost his job.

With the experience of Guangdong Evergrande Translator, he started a two-year journey to find work. This guy who was once called "the most talented Chinese coach" by Marcelo Lippi was left unattended, and eventually had to commit to the Chinese League B and become the head coach of an amateur team.

Although he is in the second league, he is still fully committed, leading a team that is not the most promising, successfully reached the top four of the second league, and the upgrade is in sight. However, the day before the promotion game, he received instructions from the club's senior management to let the team lose the game.

The club's senior officials let him play fake balls, he was filled with sorrow and anger, and was fainted.

When he woke up again, earth-shaking changes took place around him, and he was no longer him, to be precise his soul crossed.

He became Zhong Cheng in 2004, an English Chinese, an avid Leeds fan.

At the age of one, Zhong Cheng followed his father, Zhong Yunhe, to Leeds, England, where he lived and grew up.

Zhongcheng has always liked football since he was a child. He is a loyal Leeds United fan. He has not experienced the unprecedented prosperity of the Don Levy era, but he is proud of it.

Missing the glorious era of Leeds United made Zhong Cheng regretful.

But in 1988, Zhong Cheng witnessed the opening of another glorious era in Leeds United.

Beginning in 1988, Wilkinson took over Leeds United and became the head coach of Leeds United. He led Leeds United to start a new era called "re-creating glory". Zhong Cheng witnessed that Leeds United was The last championship in the top flight of the English League.

In 1998, Zhong Cheng ushered in the age of O'Reilly's Young Guards. Leo Ferdinand, Lee Bowyer, Alan Smith, Jonathan Woodgate, Cowell, Viduka and Ian Hart When a group of youth stars emerged, there was a violent storm of youth on the British mainland.

At that time, Zhong Cheng was extremely proud. However, the good times were not good, the club did not operate well, and the huge investment was not returned. Instead, it lost nearly 1 million pounds per week. Leeds United finally ushered in a financial crisis.

The club has suffered successive losses, and its external debt owed as much as 85 million pounds. The club's top management only has to sell the club's stars one after another to win space for survival. However, at the end of last season, Leeds was relegated.

Leeds United has ushered in an unprecedented crisis and all fans are suffering.

At this time, Zhong Cheng did a very crazy thing. He squatted in the rich area of ​​Leeds for two consecutive weeks, and begged the rich people in Leeds to buy Leeds United to save them. In these two weeks, Zhong Cheng had met more than 20 local rich people, but the rich people refused strictly. They didn't want to take over the mess of Leeds United.

In the end, Zhong Cheng threatened suicide, but still did not get the sympathy of the rich.

The crazy Zhong Cheng slammed into the marble-paved wall severely, and then blood flowed to the ground, and Zhong Cheng passed out.

At that time, this incident caused a huge sensation in Leeds and throughout England. Numerous media were rushing to report on this event. Zhong Cheng instantly became a star in the British mainland, which was called by the media and fans "the craziest in history fan".

Many people laughed at Zhong Cheng, but Leeds fans praised it.

During the drowsiness, the two souls had a fight in their minds, and the soul from 2016 finally won, but he also promised his predecessor to save Leeds United, which was the only last wish of his predecessor.

By the time he woke up again, Zhong Cheng's body had been occupied by the future Chinese football coach Dou Jiu in 2016.

Even in 2016, he has never seen such crazy fans, and he really admires his ex.

The predecessor's body is very good. Now 22 years old, he is 188cm tall, with a strong body, full of tendon flesh, and a tough guy.

After taking over Cheng Cheng's body, he is Zhong Cheng.

What Zhong Cheng has to do is complete his last wish and save Leeds. But this is quite difficult for Zhong Cheng, but Zhong Cheng will still do it because he promised.

Zhong Cheng did not continue his predecessor's path and went to the rich area of ​​Leeds to pray for the mercy of the rich. With memories from later generations, Zhong Cheng is ready to make money himself, and he is ready to make a fortune in the upcoming European Cup.

Zhong Cheng sold his house on Elland Road, sold his car, borrowed a little money from a friend, and then joined the gambling business. He bet on the gambling company and bought a big one. Pen Greece won.

At that time, the odds for the European team to win the Greek team was 51.00, the odds for the Greek team to win the championship was 81.00, and even the odds of the lottery company was 100.00.

However, it seems that the betting company with the highest odds is not very reliable, so Zhong Cheng chose William Hill and invested 600,000 pounds.

More than a month later, the Greek team really reached the final, Zhong Cheng's investment is about to bear fruit.

Zhong Cheng was sitting in his humble rented house, staring closely at the TV screen, where Portuguese and Greek players entered, and the 2004 European Cup finals were about to begin.
