Chapter 215 The Great September

Leeds United jumped to seventh place after beating Bristol Rovers, which was ranked No.

"Now you're going to be famous, Aaron." Ning Xi sighed and put a newspaper on the table; "Tarzan the Ape from China... If these reporters are familiar with the situation in China, then they must say that you are a savage who escaped from the dragon frame."

Long Bisheng glanced at Ning Xi unhappily. There was an unconcealable smile in the corner of this girl's eyes. It seemed that the wicked nickname given to him by the local media made Ning Xi want to burst out laughing. Long Bisheng regretted it after thinking about it.Thinking that this nickname might accompany his entire career, Long Bisheng felt a little scalped.

Look at how elegant those superstar nicknames are! "Prince" Robert Baggio, "Golden Boy" Michael Owen, "God of War" Batistuta, and "Alien" Ronaldo, all sound apt, nice and easy to remember, how about yourself? "Tarzan of the Apes"!It doesn't sound human anymore.

"Actually, that's not bad." Ning Xi suppressed a smile and said, "This is also a good gimmick. When people talk about Tarzan in the future, they will think of the Chinese striker Long Bisheng who played for Leeds. This is an intangible asset."

"Stop talking, okay?" Long Bisheng sighed and said, "With a surname like mine, why should there be a nickname like 'Chinese Dragon'? Dragon is a totem of China, and I have this surname. These foreigners also don't know much about China, so they don't use such good nicknames."

"You have to understand the values ​​of foreigners. For the British, they are definitely more familiar with Tarzan the Ape than the Chinese Dragon. It is understandable to give you such a nickname." Ning Xi explained him: "You know, England fans have accepted the player by giving him a nickname and composing a song for him. If it wasn't for your outstanding performance in these two games, you wouldn't even have the right to ask them to give you a nickname!"

Long Bisheng sighed, he also knew this truth, but he was still very upset by having such a nickname, so he ran back to his room in a fit of anger, and covered his head with a pillow.

********************************
Although Long Bisheng is very dissatisfied with this nickname, Leeds United fans are more and more fond of this big man nicknamed "Tarzan of the Ape".

On September [-], the first round of the English Championship, Leeds United played against Bradford City at home.

A major feature of the English league is the variety of cups. Other leagues generally have only one main cup, but England has two - the League Cup and the FA Cup. The champions of these two cups can qualify for the UEFA Cup next season.

The teams participating in this competition are all League One, League Two and regional league teams, which are divided into two divisions, North and South. However, this kind of competition is not attractive, the prize money is not high, and they are not qualified to participate in European competitions if they win the championship. Therefore, as long as they are teams with extravagant hopes for promotion, they will not have much interest in this competition. The only function is to train newcomers.

That's what McAllister did. In this game, he changed all the main players. The forwards were Suowenmi and Snodgrass. For them, this is also an opportunity to perform well.

But Suo Wenmi was more unlucky, eager to prove himself "Donkey Kong" sprained his foot because of a fight in the No. 209 minute, and was replaced by "Tarzan" Long Bisheng.

Although the players on the field were basically substitute players, Long Bisheng still performed well. In the second half when the two sides were tied [-]-[-], he stepped forward again and scored a strong shot in the penalty area to help Leeds United eliminate their opponents [-]-[-] and advance to the next round.

On September [-]th, the fifth round of the league, Leeds United played against Crewe at home.

No.206 minutes, the commentator at the Elland Road Stadium howled with joy: "Fabian-Delph! A beautiful long-range shot! The midfielder's first goal of the season! A long-range shot 30 meters away from the goal!"

After 10 minutes, the commentator howled again: "Dragon - must win! The Chinese ape Tarzan scored the third goal in the league this season! A long-range shot from 26 meters scored! Crewe's defenders thought our ape Tarzan would only grab points in the penalty area. They made a huge mistake! Two to zero!"

Crewe's goalkeeper was unlucky today, Leeds United's attack was so violent that it was dizzying, and the worst thing was that Leeds United's long-range shots played a very high level today.

No. 409 minutes, Douglas scored a long-range shot, No. 607 minutes, Beckford made up for Long Bisheng's shot, and No. 80 two minutes, Robinson, who came off the bench, scored a long-range shot...

Leeds United, with a [-]-to-[-] lead, slackened at the last moment. In addition, central defender Marcos was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Crewe scored two goals in a row at the last moment, but it could not prevent Leeds United from winning two consecutive home games.

After the victory in this game, Leeds United began to get better and better, and they went hand in hand on all fronts.

In the sixth round of the league, although the defender Xihan who replaced Marcos was sent off with a red card after only 9 minutes into the game, Leeds United did not stop moving forward. Beckford opened the scoring for the team in the No.20 second minute. Swindon, who played at home, equalized the score before the end of the first half.

Afterwards, the whole team of Leeds United resisted the crazy counterattack of the home team. In the 804th minute, a beautiful and quick counterattack expanded the score again. Long Bisheng competed for a header near the middle circle and then passed it to Beckford who was behind him. Beckford dribbled the ball 30 meters and scored twice!

After three consecutive victories, it is four consecutive victories.

Since the beginning of this season, Leeds United's away results are quite good. In this round of their away game against Carlisle United, Beckford and Long Bisheng have become more and more proficient in their cooperation. First, in the No. 301 minute, Beckford made a clever leak in the middle, helping Long Bisheng's powerful header to open the scoring.

On September 24th, in the third round of the League Cup, Leeds United played against Hartlip at home. Although they sent almost all substitutes, Leeds United still dedicated a wonderful game to the fans.

Falling behind twice, the two substitute forwards Snodgrass and Suo Wenmi equalized the score twice. In stoppage time, midfielder Robinson completed the lore, and Leeds United successfully entered the round of [-] in the League Cup.

Four consecutive victories in the league, plus three consecutive victories in the cup, Leeds United's seven consecutive victories made the fans crazy, but the players of the Leeds United also suffered a lot of physical loss.

Even Long Bisheng felt a little tired. After all, he was still in the process of adapting to English football. Although his cooperation with Beckford became more and more tacit, the support given to him by Leeds United teammates is obviously not as good as in Naples.

"Take this game!"

On September 27, before the home game against Hereford, McAllister said to all the players in the locker room: "We won this game today, and we will be ranked first in the standings! This will be our first time in this position in more than a season! More than 5000 fans came to the Elland Road Stadium today. They all hope that you can do this before they come to watch. Don't let them down!"

This kind of thing is easy to say, but a little difficult to do.

Hereford is now at the bottom of the table. In this game, all they want is a point.From the beginning of the game, Hereford was on the defensive. The two forwards, Long Bisheng and Beckford, were warmly taken care of by each other, and there were endless small moves. In the case of a lot of physical contact between the two sides, some action referees would not easily call fouls. This also brought huge troubles to Leeds United's offense.

Both Long Bisheng and Beckford's consecutive scoring records were terminated in this game. Despite this, Leeds United still struggled to win against their opponents. Relying on Delph's second league goal this season, Leeds United beat their opponents [-]-[-] at home and ranked first in the standings with a one-point advantage!
Leeds have won five in a row!Throughout September, they achieved a brilliant record of unanimous victories!
