Chapter 290
Aliadiere took the ball from the front of the penalty area, and Misterxie kept harassing him behind him, making him unable to turn around smoothly. Aliadiere desperately controlled the ball under the interference of Misterxie, but he held the ball for too long before he knew it. Faye quickly appeared in front of him, stretched out his foot and poked the ball away!
Howson and Tangning ran towards the ball quickly. In the end, Tangning was one step faster and grabbed the ball before Howson. Then she turned around quickly, dodged Howson who was too late to stop, and quickly broke through to the bottom line.

Richardson came forward to meet him. He knew that his speed was not as fast as Tangning's, so he left enough distance to prepare for Tangning's quick breakthrough. Tangning saw that Richardson was preparing for the attack, so he dunked the ball back, quickly made a cross, and suddenly took a long shot from the corner of the penalty area!

This long-range shot was sudden and decisive. Fortunately, Ankerlenger was very focused. As soon as the ball was shot, he immediately judged the direction of the ball's flight, jumped up, and held the ball out of the baseline with one hand!
corner kick!Amidst the shouts of the Middlesbrough fans, Tang Ning placed the ball at the corner, spotted White who was rushing into the penalty area, and sent a very arcing pass!

White sprinted into the penalty area quickly, while Long Bisheng followed him closely. When he saw him jump up, he jumped up immediately. The two collided violently in the penalty area. In the end, Long Bisheng prevailed.

The ball changed direction and flew to the back point. Huntington was about to clear the siege with a big foot, when a gust of wind suddenly blew up around him, a figure intercepted the ball in front of him, and immediately shot it hard!
The ball hit the net quickly, and the Middlesbrough fans in the stands immediately cheered loudly!

It was French midfielder Digarde who scored the goal!Leeds players focus on offensive players such as Aliardiere, but ignore the defense of his midfielder!

McAllister shook his head slightly, but he didn't seem too anxious about the goal. Facing a strong opponent like Middlesbrough in an away game, conceding a goal is really normal. The key is not to panic after conceding a goal, attack according to your own rhythm, and not be led by the nose.

"It's just a conceded goal! It's okay, let's get the ball back!"

Richardson kicked the ball forward, shouting loudly.

Long Bisheng walked forward, put the ball on the kick-off point silently, and looked at Middlesbrough's gate.

At this time, White just passed by him after the celebration, stopped suddenly, looked at Long Bisheng and said, "Want to launch a counterattack? You are the top attacker, right? Then you have to pass me first! Today, I will definitely not let you score!"

"Then give it a try and see if you can do it!" Long Bisheng said flatly.

******************************
After the re-kick-off, Leeds United launched a fierce attack. They were suppressed by Middlesbrough's offense just now. After getting the ball in the backcourt, they could only play a long pass indiscriminately. Naturally, it was useless when Long Bisheng was marked to death by White. Now, Leeds' midfielder began to show their strength.

Delphi’s threading in the center created a chance for Howson on the wing. Howson saw that Long Bisheng couldn’t get the header as easily as usual under the marking of White. Naturally, he would not be so stupid as to play only one attack.

Originally, because Leeds' attack was very resolute, Middlesbrough didn't have too many people defending in the penalty area. One carrot and one hole, Howson broke through this time and immediately made Middlesbrough's penalty area into a mess!
In the chaos, White didn't care about other people's situation, he just followed Long Bisheng firmly, as if it didn't matter if other people scored goals - he seemed to be certain that Leeds' attack would eventually pass through Long Bisheng's feet!
Seeing Huth rushing towards him, Howson made a fake move to continue to break through, and then poked the ball to Hooper on the penalty area line. Hooper was about to shoot when he saw that a Middlesbrough defender had blocked the angle, so he passed the ball again to Long Bisheng who was moving to the back point!

Long Bisheng had sprinted away from White by a little distance. At this time, Hooper's pass had also arrived. Long Bisheng immediately stretched out his legs and planned to poke the ball into the goal. Just now, the goalkeeper Jones of Middlesbrough was still blocking the near corner. As long as he poked the ball, he would probably be able to poke the ball into the empty goal!
At this moment, a long leg stretched out from behind him, grabbed the ball in front of him, the ball suddenly changed direction and flew back, and then flew out of the baseline by rubbing against the goal post...

Long Bisheng staggered, turned his head to look, and just saw White lying on the ground, saw Long Bisheng turned his head to look at him, White snorted twice, and got up by himself.

"Don't be discouraged, Long, we still have a chance." Hooper ran over and patted Long Bisheng's shoulder to comfort him. After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "But you have to be careful. A man as tall as White fell so fast just now. He must have made up his mind to stop you no matter what. Facing such an opponent...be careful."

Long Bisheng nodded heavily. Today White's momentum is really different. The venue is Middlesbrough's home court. If he moves a bit more, the referee may not be too serious. If he is not careful, he may not be able to get rid of the opponent's defense.

Looking at White beside him with a dignified face, not at all proud of stopping himself from an inevitable shot, Long Bisheng felt proud, thinking that I'm afraid of you if you try your best?The big deal is that everyone will compete desperately!

Howson took a corner kick, Long Bisheng squeezed to where the ball landed, felt that White was sticking up again, no matter how impolite, he suddenly pushed White away with his back, and then jumped up immediately, shaking his head and attacking the goal!
White also jumped up. Seeing that it was difficult to directly stop Long Bisheng's header, he raised his elbow a little in desperation, and placed it just in front of Long Bisheng's forehead. If Long Bisheng still wanted to forcefully shake his head to attack the goal, he would probably hit his elbow!
Unexpectedly, Long Bisheng had already fought hard this time. Seeing White's elbow blocked in front of him, he still headed towards the ball without dodging or dodging!

The ball quickly changed direction and flew out. Before Jones flew to save, it had already hit the net quickly!

Hundreds of Leeds fans in the stands immediately cheered loudly and sang the Leeds team song "Go Forward" in unison, but on the field, their ape Tarzan did not rush to the stands to roar loudly as usual after scoring a goal, but tightly clutched his forehead after landing.

Soon, bright red blood flowed from his fingers, quickly dyed his hands red, and then slowly fell on his jersey. The pure white jersey was stained with blood, which was even more obvious.

Just now White saw that Long Bisheng was still pushing the ball regardless, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately prepared to stop, but it was still a step too late, Long Bisheng's forehead hit White's elbow hard, and immediately opened a hole in his brow bone.

"Get out of the way!"

Hooper was the closest just now, and he clearly saw that White deliberately raised his elbow to wait for Long Bisheng to bump into him. Seeing that White was still standing beside Long Bisheng blankly at this time, he couldn't help feeling angry. He pushed White, who was half a head taller than himself, away, and then leaned closer to Long Bisheng and asked, "How is it, Long?"

"I'm fine." Long Bisheng choked out a sentence: "I hurt my brow bone, it's not a big problem."

After saying this, Long Bisheng walked off the field. He was bleeding at this time, and his jersey was also covered with blood. The referee would definitely let him go off the field for treatment. Sure enough, the referee ran over to take a look at Long Bisheng, and immediately signaled to the field to prepare to treat Long Bisheng.

At this time, there was another dispute on the court. The Leeds players surrounded the referee and asked him to show White a yellow card because he had injured Long Bisheng. The Middlesbrough players believed that Long Bisheng had fouled White before taking off. The goal should not be counted.

Off the court, the team doctor carefully examined Long Bisheng's forehead, only to find that although he was bleeding a lot, the wound on his brow bone was not too big. There was no need to perform stitches on the sidelines. After he stopped the bleeding, he put an ugly patch on his eyebrows, and that was enough.

Although the wound has been treated, Long Bisheng is still unable to play immediately. His face, neck, and jersey are covered with blood. According to FIFA regulations, players with blood on their bodies are not allowed to play. He can only go back to the locker room to wipe off the blood and change into a clean jersey before playing.

After he left, the team doctor said to McAllister: "Long has no major problems, his body is very good, this little blood is nothing... But his injury is on the head after all, and he often has to head the ball, so it is easy to hit the wound, which is not good for his performance. I suggest that he should be replaced."

McAllister nodded in embarrassment. He naturally knew that the brow bone injury would be greatly affected when he was competing for a header, and Long Bisheng's most outstanding ability was his header ability. If he couldn't use the header, Long Bisheng's role on the field would probably be reduced to a very low level-but if he replaced Long Bisheng, would Leeds still have a chance to win this game?
"I think it's better to ask Long for his own opinion." McAllister said after thinking for a long time.
