Chapter 294
Long Bisheng has watched the movie "Become Famous by One Goal", but Long Bisheng never believed that he could become famous by one goal - because he knew that he didn't have any star quality in him, and he could score many unpretentious goals.

Although he has won the Serie B silver boot, the League A golden boot, and the World Youth Championship silver boot, he is still just an ordinary player in the world. You must know that every year in the second-tier leagues like the British Championship and Serie B, there will be some players who score a lot of goals. However, these players can continue to maintain a high scoring rate after entering the top league.

Long Bisheng knew a long time ago that he was not a genius.

But what Long Bisheng didn't expect was that after he scored three goals away from Middlesbrough, he immediately became famous-at least within England.

When Sky TV's highest-rated football program "90 Minutes of Football" selected the most eye-catching players in England this round, Long Bisheng's name was impressively listed.

"As a team that has been promoted from League One to the Championship this season, Leeds United is no longer the young guards they used to be. Without more capital investment, they can only compete in the Championship with the original team last season. Leeds United is considered to be one of the favorites for relegation this season, but at halfway through the league, their ranking is No.3! And in the two contests with the Championship leader Middlesbrough, they all drew their opponents! Leeds United may still not be able to enter the Premier League after the end of the season, but they Undoubtedly made history, finishing third in the league with the second-to-last spend out of all 24 teams in the Championship!"

"When it comes to this outstanding result that even Leeds fans can't believe, I have to mention two people. One is the main midfielder of the England youth team, Fabian Delph. This player has participated in 20 games in the English Championship so far this season. He has scored four goals and assisted six times. He has fully demonstrated his outstanding personal ability and maturity beyond his age. The other person is the focus of this round, the [-]-year-old Chinese youth team international, forward Long Bisheng."

"As a result of participating in the World Youth Championship held in Egypt in September this year, Long Bisheng only played [-] league games this season, one of which came off the bench, but he scored [-] goals! The average goal rate of almost one goal per game is unbelievable even in the British Championship. In the last game, he scored a hat-trick at the Riverside Stadium. As a tall center of six feet seven and a half inches, his three goals are completely different. The price of tearing the brow bone, we can see how much blood he bleed after the injury! Logically speaking, as a center forward who scored most of his goals with headers, the impact of the brow bone injury is quite huge, but Long Bisheng showed his ability in addition to headers in the second half."

"In the No.70 minute of the game, after the main midfielder Delphi was injured, Leeds United fell behind [-]-[-] in the away game. This is a desperate score. What's worse, their players have already consumed a lot of physical energy in the previous game and are no longer able to counterattack. At this time, Long Bisheng stood up and helped Leeds United complete the Jedi counterattack with unparalleled courage and two goals."

"Long Bisheng's three goals in this game were all wonderful. The first goal showed his desire and courage to score goals, the second goal showed his excellent physical fitness and shooting ability, but the most exciting thing was the third goal."

"Marseille turned around and oxtailed. He passed White and Huth, who had been selected for the England national team and the German national team, and then accurately shot the ball into the dead corner. From any angle, this is a perfect goal. What's more commendable is that it was a six-foot-seven-and-a-half tall man who accomplished all of this! Long Bisheng scored more than [-] goals in the League One last season. Just halfway through this season, he has also scored [-] goals. According to this frequency, after the end of this season, his goals may be [-] times. More than thirty. A new super striker is on the rise, and if Leeds United don't make it to the Premier League this season, perhaps his days at Elland Road are numbered, Arsenal need a high center forward after Adebayor left, and Newcastle's Didier Drogba is starting to age...'

After the Sky TV program was finished, Long Bisheng's reputation immediately rose a lot. Some people posted the video of his third goal in the game on the Internet, and the viewers gathered. The number of hits and downloads on the day exceeded [-]. Some people even rated his goal as the best goal of the season in the British Championship in advance.

Long Bisheng doesn't care about this. He doesn't think too far, so he doesn't know what his rise in fame will bring to his future. He only knows that despite the hat-trick in the last game, Leeds United still failed to win, and Delphi's injury will also bring huge losses to Leeds United...

********************************
"Fabian, what's going on?"

In Leeds Central Hospital, Long Bisheng sat beside Delphi's hospital bed and asked with concern.

Delphi, whose feet were wrapped in thick bandages, looked pretty good, and said with a wry smile, "What else can I do? A ruptured Achilles tendon... probably won't work with conservative treatment. I'm going to have an operation... I'm only under 20 years old. I don't want to get hurt again in the days to come."

Long Bisheng was silent. He knew what Delphi’s surgery meant—even if the operation was successful, it would take three months to walk normally, and it would take nearly half a year to recover to the point where he could play—this meant that Delphi’s season was over.

This is of course a huge loss for Leeds, but there is nothing wrong with Delphi's choice. He is only 20 years old. If conservative treatment is adopted, he can play in two or three months.

"Recover well, we are waiting for your return."

"During this time... it's all up to you."

This is the conversation between Leeds' number one striker and number one midfielder in front of the hospital bed.

It is these two 20-year-old young people who support Leeds now. Now choose one of the two. Can the single tree of Long Bisheng support the building of Leeds?

**********************************
One of the two pillars is missing, and the ending is often a single tree, but Leeds fans forget this.

Seeing the team's [-]-[-] draw with Middlesbrough in the away game, or when Delphi was injured and left the field, this gave Leeds fans great encouragement. The top teams in the Championship have been tied by them in a row. Can other teams withstand their attack?
Even the Leeds players were misled by this great situation, and McAllister began to feel a little smug.

They completely forgot that the tie with Middlesbrough in the away game was entirely due to Long Bisheng's sudden personal outburst, and this outburst was obviously impossible to last. Delphi's injury weakened Leeds' offensive firepower a lot. The current situation is really not optimistic.

Two days later, in the No.20 round of the British Championship, Leeds United played against the fourth-ranked West Bromwich Albion at home.

After entering the 21st century, West Bromwich Albion has become the most famous lifter in the Premier League. They have been promoted to the Premier League three times, but they only succeeded in relegation for one year, and then they were relegated three times.

This is a formidable opponent, but Leeds, who are already a little dizzy, think that they will be able to beat this opponent at home - McAllister sent the same main lineup, except for Robinson instead of Delphi, the other players are exactly the same as they were in the last match against Middlesbrough.

Soon, football showed that it is not a simple arithmetic that one plus one equals two. Leeds United, which performed a miracle in the last game, lost [-] to [-] amidst the cheers of nearly [-] Leeds fans in the audience.

In this game, West Bromwich Albion won because of experience, while Leeds United also lost because of experience.

Throughout the game, West Bromwich Albion entangled with Leeds in the midfield at a leisurely pace. By steadily pushing forward to organize the offense, the defense prevented Leeds' fast offensive rhythm. Without Delphi, the midfield organizer, Long Bisheng received much less support.

Although Leeds United once relied on Long Bisheng's header to ferry Howson into the penalty area and successfully tied the score, West Bromwich Albion remained unmoved and continued to score two goals in a row relying on the overall advantage in the second half.

If the reason for losing this game is that the opponent is not weak, then the next round away loss to Derby County, which is in the middle, will make all Leeds people feel that there is something wrong with Leeds itself.

Derby County, who once lost [-]-[-] to Leeds in the away game, successfully revenged. They defeated Leeds United [-]-[-] at home. Savage opened the scoring with a beautiful long shot. Before the end of the first half, Hals scored a header to expand the score to [-]-[-].
