Chapter 282 The Power of Example

After returning home, Long Bisheng still felt a little strange. Although he won the World Youth Championship with the China Youth Team, what is this to Leeds fans?No matter how high the honor is, it belongs to Long Bisheng and China, and it has nothing to do with them.

"You don't know how much Leeds fans are looking forward to your return soon, to turn the tide and help the building collapse."

After hearing Long Bisheng's doubts, Ning Xi smiled and said to him while tidying up the room, "Check the current English Championship ranking online and you will know. Leeds have played really badly in these few games."

Before Long Bisheng left, Leeds United remained unbeaten in six league rounds with three wins and three draws, tied for No.2 in the standings with Nottingham Forest. At that time, Leeds used a set of simple and neat tactics to attract the attention of the top players in the English Championship. Although Robinson and Suo Wenmi, who came off the bench for the two of them, worked hard, they couldn't make up for the vacancy left by the two.

Fortunately, in the ninth round, Hooper showed the strength worthy of his worth. Two goals full of personal ability helped Leeds United beat Doncaster 12-[-] at home, stopping the losing streak. However, they suffered consecutive draws in the next two league rounds. There is a full ten gap in Delsburg.

The English media are not surprised by this. In their view, Leeds United, which won the League One title last season by relying on a last-minute sprint, did not bring in a few players at the level of the League One during the summer transfer period, but let go of two absolute main players, including Douglas and Beckford. , The good results at the beginning of the season are just a replica of some newly promoted dark horses. They rely on other teams who are not familiar with them and try their best to grab points.

"Shit! Our goal this season is to enter the Premier League!" After reading all kinds of comments on Leeds in the past half month, Long Bisheng, who has a good temper, couldn't help but spit and curse.

"We only won one game in six games. If it had been different, McAllister would have been out of class long ago!" Ning Xi also finished cleaning up the room at this time, walked over to sit on his bed and said with a smile, "But Bates also knows that he has not been able to use money to improve his strength this season, and you and Delphi have been absent for this period of time, so there is no pressure on McAllister. The fans are also waiting for you to come back and score goals to help the team win."

"Am I so important?" Long Bisheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Leeds won without me before. Last season, I rested for two months, and the team also won."

"Now you are very important to Leeds United! All the offenses in the pre-season training centered around you. Once you are gone, Hooper is a new striker and is not familiar with the other teammates. Suo Wenmi still plays like that. Leeds' offense is simply a mess. Even Delphi and Howson don't know who to pass the ball to. You must know that Leeds United is not the previous strong team that can do without anyone!" Ning Xi shrugged her shoulders and said, "You just know." " expression.

Long Bisheng rubbed his chin and giggled: "Hehe... so I am so important..."

"It's the status in the team that you scored one goal after another last season!" Ning Xi said with a smile, "This time you're the world champion again, so of course your status in the team is different. Now you're Leeds United's number one star! If Beckford was still here, maybe you wouldn't have become the number one star so quickly, but now, you deserve it."

"I don't want to be a top player, I just want to play well." Long Bisheng said after thinking about it.

"It's not a conflict. The more famous you are, the easier it is for you to play football well. The more you are valued by the coach, the more room you have to play on the court." Ning Xi explained: "Why do some giants always organize their offense around one or a few superstars? Besides they can really decide the outcome of the game, the fans also want to see this. There will always be red flowers and green leaves on the court. Only then will there be corresponding income.”

Hearing this, Long Bisheng remained silent. Although he was never very poor, he did not have much money left in his hands since he was a child. He has also seen his parents worry about lack of money during the Chinese New Year. Of course, he also knows how distressing it is to have no money.

"What you said is also reasonable, but you are my manager, so I will trouble you to deal with these matters." Long Bisheng said to Ning Xi with a smile.

"That's no problem. You performed so well in the World Youth Championship. Even if you performed better in the English Championship this season, even if Leeds can't return to the Premier League next season, I will definitely let you go to the top league." Ning Xi said proudly, "Actually, if the transfer period hadn't passed, there must be many teams interested in you. Although there are many good forwards, they are not too many. Even AC Milan is worried about not having a good center forward. I think of the winter break, and there must be many teams interested in you."

"I don't want to transfer this season." Long Bisheng shook his head: "Leeds took me in last season. This season, I will help them reach the Premier League. If I can reach the Premier League, then I will not leave. If I change the environment, I have to adapt again, which is troublesome. And I also like this place and this team."

"Of course it's the best!" Ning Xi grinned, "But after this season is over, I will increase your income a lot! The World Youth Championship Silver Boot can't just get 15 pounds a season."

************************************
Long Bisheng doesn't know how much silver boots should be earned in the World Youth Championship in a season, but he knows that if he can't perform well on the court, then no one will spend 15 pounds on him in a season.

In these two days of training, Long Bisheng did not show much fatigue. Although he expended too much energy in the World Youth Championship, he knew what he meant to his teammates and fans now. After six bad games and unable to introduce new players, his silver boot of the World Youth Championship, which returned from Africa, became the only hope for Leeds United to get out of the quagmire and return to the winning track.

So he has to make himself appear full of energy and energy, and look like he can kill a few tigers, so that he can give his teammates confidence——when he knows how the whole team is looking forward to his return, Long Bisheng seems to have matured and knows what he should do.

McAllister looked at Long Bisheng, who was sweating profusely on the training ground, and nodded secretly.

He knew that Long Bisheng's current state was definitely not the best. After those famous superstars performed well in the World Cup, they would often experience a downturn for a period of time. What's more, Long Bisheng only finished an intense final two days ago, and then traveled a long distance back to Leeds.

It sounds simple, but how many players can consciously do this?They train and play hard, but they don't think too much about the team. You must know that Long Bisheng is not the captain, nor was he trained by Leeds. He can consciously do this without anyone asking him to, which shows that this tall man is a real professional player, a professional player who is worthy of his salary for every penny.

"Okay, that's all for today's training!"

McAllister looked at his watch and ended the training an hour early. What Long Bisheng needs now is rest, and the other players' recent poor state is not due to physical reasons, but psychological.

Long Bisheng returned with the honor of the World Youth Championship and the silver boots, which in itself is a huge boost to the morale of the team. In the home game two days later, he must win!
When the players left the locker room after taking a shower, McAllister, who was guarding the door of the locker room, stopped Long Bisheng.

"Long, how is your health?" McAllister looked at Long Bisheng and asked.

Long Bisheng waved his arm, and replied in a low voice, "Very good, Mr. Coach, I think I can play in the match two days later."

"Hehe." McAllister laughed, and then he raised his face: "You won't be in the starting list for the game the day after tomorrow."

"Ah?" Long Bisheng was stunned. Isn't the team's current situation very bad?Don't you need his return to win?
"Your body is not in the best condition, I am very aware of that." McAllister looked into Long Bisheng's eyes and said, "No player can go back and forth from Africa to England twice in two months, and after participating in seven fierce games, he can still maintain ample physical fitness. I know that your physical fitness has always been excellent, but you are not a robot. You have been struggling for the past two days, right?"

"...Yes." Long Bisheng nodded silently.

McAllister smiled: "Your return itself has brought great encouragement to other teammates! So we will definitely win the game two days later, even if you don't play! This is the power of role models!"
