Chapter 471

In the first round of the Premier League, there were no upsets.

Defending champions Arsenal beat Everton [-]-[-] at home. Captain Cesc Fabregas scored a pass and shot to help the team win the season. Manchester United beat Bolton, who had a deep hatred with them, with four goals at home. victory.

In the post-match scoring, Long Bisheng, who played 10 minutes and then was replaced, scored [-] points. This score is above average among Newcastle players, and Messi, the best player in the game, scored [-] points. His evaluation is: Although it is the first time to play the Premier League game, Long Bisheng did not have much discomfort. At the same time, he also made a direct contribution to Newcastle's victory. The goal is also thanks to Long Bisheng's timely scoring.Perhaps because of his two seasons at Leeds, his fast-paced offense against England did not appear to be out of whack.

For a newcomer, being able to adapt to the new environment is the most important.

More importantly, although the operation is still a bit stagnant, Newcastle's new attack formation has gradually begun to take shape!

A striker like Long Bisheng may not be able to perform any magnificent skills on the field, but he can quickly adapt to the new environment—because what he needs to do on the field is not complicated, but he can do it very well—and what he can do is necessary for a strong team!

Pulling and running in the frontcourt, impact in the penalty area, passing to teammates... These things are the cornerstone of a team's offense!

But this is just one game, and the performance of one game can't explain anything. Only when he still has such a good performance in the next game can he prove that he is worthy of the huge transfer fee paid by Pei Wei!

You must know that in order to get Long Bisheng this year, Newcastle paid the biggest price in the past three years. Faced with such a price, it is obviously not enough to perform in a satisfactory manner!

Having a huge net worth means that you have to perform with value on the field!

Although doing so will also bring unnecessary pressure to the players, as a star, one must have the awareness to bear such pressure.

In the second round of the league, Newcastle hosts newly promoted Derby County at home.

For Long Bisheng, this game is another first - the first time to represent Newcastle at St. James' Park!

Wearing Newcastle's black and white sword-striped shirt and carrying the No. [-] jersey left by the great Shearer, this kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can afford.

Today, Long Bisheng started again, and Drogba continued to serve as a substitute, but the 35-year-old Ivorian didn't pay much attention to this. In fact, before the start of this season, he had already planned to retire in the Super League.

Anyway, Warcraft's physical condition has always been very good. With his current body, even if he plays until he is 40 years old, there will be no problem. Of course, that must be in a less competitive league.

"Long, during the training these few days, you were in good shape."

In the locker room before the game, Messi chatted with Long Bisheng.

Although Long Bisheng is usually a bit taciturn, Messi and him are acquaintances, and they have met many times in the national team, and before he entered professional football, Messi had already made his mark in Yunjia Tianyu, so he is still relatively familiar with Messi.

Messi's words are nonsense, because in the past few days of training, Long Bisheng scored consecutive goals, even when he was assigned to the substitute side, he also broke through the gate guarded by Petr Cech. Can he do this if he is not in good condition?So Messi's words are nonsense.

But when a person wants to talk about a topic, he always starts with nonsense first—Although Messi is a world superstar now, in this respect, he is exactly the same as an ordinary person.

Long Bisheng smiled: "It's okay, I feel that I'm gradually becoming familiar with my teammates."

"Well, that's good." Messi leaned closer to Long Bisheng, and smiled brightly: "So, in today's game, you have to find a way to score."

"Of course I will try to score goals. I am a striker." Long Bisheng felt a little strange: "But why do you have to find a way to score goals?"

"For a striker, scoring goals is the measure of their competence." Messi sighed. He wanted to help his teammates in the national team. Although he was only two years older than Long Bisheng, he was already a seasoned veteran. Although you didn't score in the game, Tottenham is also a very strong team, and you made two moves, so no one will say anything, but if you don't score in the Derby... then some people will definitely question your strength, and even start to say that the boss's pre-season investment has been in vain."

Long Bisheng listened attentively. He knew that this was an experience imparted by a Premier League veteran to him as a Premier League rookie, but he still felt very strange when he heard this: "If I perform well on the court, just like the first game, but only lack a goal? Then they will still say that? Do they understand football?"

Long Bisheng is still too immature. Although he has been in England for two seasons, he has stayed in the League One and the Championship. What he doesn't know is that in the Premier League, where business is highly developed and paparazzi are rampant, the attention and inexplicable impact players receive are several grades higher than the League One and the Championship!

Messi naturally knew this well. He shrugged his shoulders: "The Premier League is like this... While players enjoy high salaries and honors, they will also bear some inexplicable pressure. When Didier first landed in the Premier League, he was scolded by those tabloid reporters for a whole season because he didn't score many goals. It was not until all the football critics recognized Didier's importance to Newcastle's offense that this criticism weakened. Those reporters in turn began to praise Didier. What an outstanding striker."

Long Bisheng was speechless. This kind of ability to see the wind and turn the rudder is really powerful. No wonder the British tabloid reporters are so pervasive.

In fact, Zeko’s poor performance last season was also related to the attacks of these reporters. They didn’t have any stance, they just wanted to make their news more sensational and easier to sell. In addition, Zeko was really not suitable for the English football environment. The more he was questioned, the more upset and irritable he was.

This happened when Mourinho is always used to carrying everything on his body. The pressure on the players playing under him is always relatively light. If another coach is changed, Zeko may have collapsed long ago.

For this situation, Drogba overcame it at the time, but it was because he had been in Europe since he was a child, and then played in Yunjia Tianyu for several seasons. He came to the top European league at the age of 26. He already has a strong psychological quality and a mentality of not being surprised.

Messi's words are indeed good words. It is because he saw that Long Bisheng already had the strength to become Newcastle's main striker and did not score in the first game. He reminded him like this. In addition, in the Chinese national team, Messi also got along well with this big man who is many heads taller than himself. Show your own strength.

If this happens, it will be a huge blow to Long Bisheng, and it will be a huge blow to Newcastle and Pei Wei who spent huge sums of money to introduce Long Bisheng.

For Messi, who regards Pei Wei as saving his football life and regards Newcastle and Yunjiatianyu as his home, this situation is something he does not want to see.

"Thank you, Messi." Long Bisheng nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your reminder. I will work harder in today's game, but it seems that I can't force it to score or not. If I had to score more goals last season, maybe my Bundesliga goals would not exceed [-]...Everything requires success, otherwise I will fail. I understand this truth a long time ago. As long as I give my best, then I have a clear conscience... However, I still want to thank you. In the game, I will definitely perform well. Better."

Messi laughed loudly, stood on tiptoe and patted Long Bisheng's shoulder - there was no way, the difference in height between the two was too big: "It's enough to have your words! Let's go to the game, Derby is not our opponent at all! Our opponent will not be them!"

In the last few words, Messi raised his voice, and the other players in the locker room waved their fists: "After this game, we will be ranked first! We will score more goals! Tell Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, this season... We will still be the most powerful contenders for the championship!"

Long Bisheng also waved his fists with them. In Newcastle, everything can be lost, but the desire for victory and championship cannot be lost!
