Chapter 473

After leading by two goals, Newcastle slowed down their attacking rhythm. This is just a league game, and Derby’s strength is unlikely to pose too much threat to them. It is obviously not worthwhile to consume too much physical energy in such a game. Newcastle, which is dominated by veterans, of course knows when to fight and when to save energy.

With veteran players as the main players, Newcastle are naturally excellent at maintaining their advantage and playing steadily. On the contrary, they are lacking in momentum and pressure. However, since Newcastle already has two goals in this game, with the strength of Derby County, it is difficult to shake their advantage.

Newcastle, which slowed down, began to pass more balls to Long Bisheng's feet, and he launched the offense with his excellent physical fitness. In this short month of pre-season training, the players of Newcastle have already been deeply impressed by Long Bisheng's physical fitness.Even the head coach Pei Wei has to obey Mourinho's arrangement. If Mourinho thinks that the pre-season show will affect the effect of the pre-season training, then any show will be stopped.

As Pei Wei, Newcastle should go to China many times to play commercial games or place training camps in China, but in the past ten years, they have only gone to China three times in the summer. Those three times were all when there was no major competition and the players and the team had enough time to stay in China. Once there was a major competition in the World Cup and European Championships, Newcastle’s training location would be in Europe, because if a player who has a national team mission after the end of last season still goes around the show, there will be only one consequence, frequent injuries and fluctuations in player status great.

It is precisely because of these reasons that although the physical fitness of Newcastle's first-team members is basically excellent, during the pre-season training camp, after a day of training, there are very few players who can be as vigorous as a tiger.

Even ironman-level players like Maicon and Gerrard, who are known for their physical fitness, are not good. The only one in the past who was able to look relatively relaxed in the pre-season training camp was the Ghanaian buffalo Essien who claimed that "it is no problem to play one official game a day".

And now, there is another dragon who must win.

Once Essien became competitive and dragged Long Bisheng to run laps after the training. As a result, after the training, which had already exhausted other teammates, the two completed the 5000-meter run at a sprint speed. They still had more energy, and the other teammates were shocked.

After that contest, the team reached a consensus that Essien is a monster, and Long Bisheng is even more a monster.

Although it seems to be on par in terms of physical fitness, Long Bisheng is 22 centimeters taller and [-] kilograms heavier than Essien. The consumption itself is much greater than Essien. Under this disadvantage, he can still draw with Essien—what kind of monster is this!

Based on this mentality, with a lead of two goals, other Newcastle players began to pass more balls to Long Bisheng's feet. First, they, like Messi, hope that Long Bisheng can score his first official goal in Newcastle as soon as possible.

This is not an irresponsible approach. In a team, there must be someone who is good at this and someone who is good at that. Since you have good physical fitness, you should run more. If you have excellent skills, then there will be times when you can perform.

Long Bisheng's dribbling has never been very good, but he knows when to pass the ball. At the same time, after so many years of training in Europe, his running position and observation of the situation have reached a very high level.

This caused Derby County a headache. Although they had noticed that Newcastle put the main attacking force on Long Bisheng, they still couldn't defend them. Long Bisheng received the ball a lot, but he basically seldom let the ball stay under his feet. The area outside the restricted area has more than doubled in size!

But by the end of the first half, Long Bisheng still hadn't scored.

He didn't shoot without threat, but his luck seems to be very bad today. Derby County's defense is also very tenacious. A long header from the back of Long Bisheng almost scored the goal, but he was hooked out by the defending defender.

A newly promoted polo team that has no money and failed to bring in famous players, if they don't have tenacious fighting spirit, what else are they left with?

Newcastle still took the initiative in the second half, and Long Bisheng's running was still active, but the goal still did not come.

Especially when Long Bisheng shot a wonderful long-range shot from the center of the penalty area, even Long Bisheng couldn't help but sighed.

He feels that he is in a good state today, and the opponent is not very strong, and his teammates are very helpful, but he just can't score the goal. It seems that the goals of last season have exhausted his luck. A poke shot in the penalty area was miraculously saved by Carroll. What is there to say?

After realizing his bad luck with the ball today, Long Bisheng began to pass the ball to his teammates. One of his assists helped Baxter, who came off the bench in the second half, score and Newcastle had a chance to win.

When Long Bisheng saw the substitution sign off the court, he sighed regretfully. His performance today has improved compared to the previous game, with two direct assists and one instigation—if there is a goal, it would be perfect—unfortunately, there is no such goal.

"Good job, rest well." Mourinho said to him when he was off the field.

Long Bisheng smiled. He also felt that he played well in this game, but unfortunately, others didn't think so.

******************************************

Although Newcastle defeated Derby County with three goals at home and won the first two rounds of the league, some newspapers still questioned Newcastle. They naturally did not doubt the whole Newcastle team.

"The league has played two rounds, and Newcastle has won both games, which is gratifying. But the performance of their newly introduced Chinese player Long Bisheng is a bit incomprehensible. It is true that in these two games, his statistics are very good. He participated in all the goals of Newcastle and is also in the leading position in the post-match ratings. But we have a question. Is this six-foot-seven-inch big man a forward or a midfielder? In the game, he shot fewer times than he passed the threatening ball. I think Newcastle What Castle needs now is a center who can score goals instead of an organizing midfielder! With Messi, Ribery, Bostock, Gerrard, Carrick and others, what Newcastle needs most is not an organizing midfielder but a center forward! Although Messi scored two goals in two games, Gerrard, Maicon and Baxter also scored goals, but if a strong team does not have a fixed scoring point, then this team is obviously not as strong as it seems...After all, although Messi is good, he is not a player who can play every game The shooters who have scored goals, Steven Gerrard and others are not able to maintain the state of scoring goals in every game-this does not mean that they are not worthy of their name, but they should not do this kind of thing in the first place. If Long Bisheng is only involved in the frontcourt, then Pei Wei’s biggest investment before the season is obviously a failure, because now Newcastle needs a center who can score a lot of goals.”

The reporter who wrote this article is obviously a very knowledgeable person. The large amount of data he listed in the article is true, so when the fans read it, they thought about it.

In fact, the effect of Long Bisheng on the team has been quickly highlighted in these two games. Although there is no goal, it is a fact that Newcastle's offense played more easily and smoothly. At the same time, it can be seen from his participation in all the goals that Long Bisheng has quickly integrated into the team, just like a drop of water into a glass of water, completely indistinguishable from each other.

At the same time, Mourinho appreciates Long Bisheng's modest character and low-key behavior. He has always emphasized that there should be no maverick players in the team, and all players should serve the team. Players like Long Bisheng are his favorite and are also what Newcastle needs most at this stage. He naturally does not want such a suitable player to become unconfident under the blow of the outside world.

To his relief, Long Bisheng didn't seem to be affected by the outside world. In the next few days, Mourinho carefully observed Long Bisheng's performance and found that he was no different from usual. He was still training hard and running vigorously.

Therefore, in the third round of the key away game against Liverpool, Mourinho continued to use Long Bisheng as the starting lineup. Long Bisheng also repaid Mourinho with his outstanding performance. His wide-ranging running and powerful impact on the field caused headaches for Liverpool's defense. While helping his teammates get more opportunities, he also strongly involved Liverpool's overall offense. At the same time, he threatened Liverpool's gate several times...

In the end, relying on a supplementary shot in front of Franck Ribery, Newcastle beat Liverpool [-]-[-] in the away game. While achieving three consecutive victories, they also jumped above Arsenal, which was tied in this round, and became the leader of the Premier League standings.

But Long Bisheng still didn't score, but Mourinho can't care too much now, because he will fly to Zurich soon to participate in the group draw of this season's Champions Cup group stage.
