Chapter 213 tacit understanding
Long Bisheng didn't expect that he would do such a celebration. After Beckford jumped on his back, he only moved a little, and later he got a nickname that accompanied him almost throughout his career: "Tarzan".

If it hadn't been for Suowenmi who had already taken the nickname "King Kong", it is estimated that this nickname would have fallen on him without any surprise.Compared with the non-human nickname of "King Kong", "Tarzan" is a little bit better. At least the ape Tarzan is still human, but he is more savage.

The Orville players were stunned by the opening goal of Long Bishengyi. Leeds United quickly seized this opportunity to organize another excellent attack. The midfielder Douglas hoisted his big foot towards the goal near the center circle.

The Orville players who survived the catastrophe quickly stabilized their emotions. This team has been in the middle since they were promoted from League Two to League One in 05. In the 06-07 season, they also entered the promotion play-offs. That would be even better, so after conceding a goal in the opening minute, they only had a brief panic, but quickly stabilized their emotions and began to entangle with Leeds United in the midfield.

This instead made the Leeds United players a little impatient. After the loss in the last game, they wanted to solve their opponents as quickly as possible in this game. Now the situation on the field seems to be reversed.

Fortunately, McAllister discovered this situation and yelled a few times on the sidelines to stabilize the players' emotions.

Once brilliant teams like Leeds United often appear impatient when playing in low-level leagues. After being relegated, they overestimate their own abilities and think that they can do everything in the low-level leagues. However, the actual situation is far from that.

And McAllister himself is just a young coach in his 40s. For such a young team, stumbling is a normal thing. If the players want to improve, McAllister must also improve.

After McAllister's reminder, the players on the Leeds United team patiently began to deal with their opponents. However, in terms of patience, the young people of Leeds United can't compare with the old fritters like Orville. myself.

The first half passed in the constant mid-court entanglement between the two sides. In the dressing room of Leeds United, despite leading by a goal in the first half, the players all felt very dissatisfied-please, it seems that Orville is still at home, right?Why don't you press up and attack after a goal is behind, is it a bit useless?

Long Bisheng rubbed his calf. In the first half, he had a lot of confrontations with the opponent's defenders. Although he won most of them, he was suffocated by the opponent's rough kicks and ubiquitous small movements. Most of his energy was devoted to confronting the opponent. He didn't get too many chances to score goals. He only made a few shots for Beckford. However, Beckford didn't seem to be in a good state today.

"The second half will continue to play the same way as the first half. If they want to entangle us in the midfield, we will entangle with them to the end, stabilize the defense, and don't let them take advantage of it. In an away game, a score of one to zero is enough."

McAllister's judgment was relatively accurate, but he ignored the fact that football is the most likely sport where accidental factors occur. Leeds United occupied the field for most of the second half, but Orville relied on almost the only chance in the game to equalize the score. Although Colgren saved the opponent's penalty kick bravely, he couldn't prevent the opponent's second supplementary shot.

After the game, the Orville players who scored a point at home seemed very happy, while the Leeds players who scored a point away looked very depressed. It felt like a poor student who scored 99 points in the test was very happy, and an excellent student who scored [-] points in the test felt that he did not do well.

Long Bisheng was quite satisfied with his performance. He felt that he scored the opening goal very well, but in the rest of the game, he still felt that he had not found the feeling of playing in League One. It was indeed different from when he was in Naples. In Naples, his teammates seemed to provide him with more help. In Leeds, the support provided by the midfielder was much less than in Naples. Those who are strong, feel a little tired after running the whole race today.

********************************
After returning to Leeds, Long Bisheng returned to his home. Ning Xi had already cooked the meal for him - Ning Xi only knew how to cook, but Long Bisheng smiled, and immediately rolled up his sleeves to cook. Anyway, it's just the two of us, just cook a few dishes.

After Long Bisheng put the dishes on the table, Ning Xi took out a bottle of red wine and two goblets as if by magic, and poured them for him with a smile.

"What are you doing? I don't usually drink alcohol." Long Bisheng asked in surprise.

"Celebrate your first start and your first goal." Ning Xi took a sip of red wine, showing a satisfied expression on her face: "What's the matter with drinking some red wine? It's good for your health! Don't make yourself like an ascetic, okay? You have to learn to enjoy life now. Enjoying life doesn't have to be about extravagance, at least you have to make yourself happy."

Holding the cup, Long Bisheng smelled the aroma of the red wine, and said with a smile, "There's nothing to celebrate, the ball was very lucky... Besides, we didn't win the game, it was just a draw."

"What does that matter? At least you performed well." Ning Xi shook her head. "You did what you were supposed to do on the field, completed the task, and did your best. Then you have a reason to celebrate. Besides, it's not your fault that you didn't win the game. If Beckford was in a better state today, you might have expanded the score before the opponent equalized...It's a pity that you missed that header."

Long Bisheng smiled, and didn't say anything about Beckford, although that opportunity made him feel a pity - it was just the beginning of the second half. After Long Bisheng took the ball from the front of the penalty area, he attracted the defense of the two defenders of the opponent, and then beautifully crossed it to Beckford. After taking the ball, Beckford directly broke into the penalty area.

"Come on, Cheers." Long Bisheng didn't want to continue talking about this issue, so he raised his glass to Ning Xi, the two goblets collided with each other, and the wine in the glass started to ripple slightly.

"What kind of wine is this? Why doesn't it taste at all?" Long Bisheng smacked his lips, and then looked at the wine again: "This foreign devil's wine is really not good to drink, it's better to drink beer." After speaking, he put the empty glass on the table: "Okay, eat!"

Ning Xi pouted and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, then put the cork back on the bottle, and said while picking up the rice, "But McAllister must have seen your performance today, and he will definitely let you play the main force in the next game. If you perform well, Suo Wenmi will hardly be able to pose any threat to you. At most, he will replace you when you are not physically fit."

Ning Xi babbled a lot, but Long Bisheng just put her head down and ate. She was so angry that she put down the bowl and chopsticks and wanted to grab Long Bisheng's ears: "Have you heard my analysis? You pig!"

"Food is the most important thing for the people." Long Bisheng shook his head to avoid Ning Xi's clutches, and said while swallowing his food.

However, Ning Xi's analysis was really good. After the third round of the league, Leeds United ushered in the second round of the League Cup. They played against Crystal Palace at home. In this game, McAllister promoted two young defenders from the second team.

For the two forwards to form a tacit understanding, they must cooperate for a long time. Long Bisheng is taller than Suwenmi and has stronger coordination ability. He naturally becomes the first choice to partner with Beckford. Then McAllister must create more opportunities for them to compete on the same field. Therefore, although he does not pay much attention to the League Cup and replaced many substitutes in the backcourt, he still retains the pair of forward partners.
