Chapter 1263 Turning a blind eye
Although Zhou Zijing did not achieve the goal of scoring with the first touch of the ball in his debut, Leeds City's offense gained momentum after his attempted header.
Originally, the Leeds City players were all holding their fire, like eleven powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, which was extremely dangerous.
But Zhou Zijing's outstanding performance found them the best outlet.
It's like the flowing magma is conflicting underground, trying to find the weakest point.
Once they are found, the ultra-high temperature magma will erupt and become a volcanic eruption that can destroy the world!
The Flanders Stadium is now like the mouth of a volcano, and Leeds City's players are like hot lava.
Now that Zhou Zijing has used the header just now to prove his ability to stay in the air, the remaining thing is very simple - smash the football on his head!
Zhou Zijing is 1.88 meters tall, which is definitely not low, plus he weighs 87 kilograms. Even in the Premier League, his physical confrontation ability is not weak at all.
When the central defenders of London Mars despised Zhou Zijing just because he was a Chinese player, they discovered that this Chinese player was as strong as an ox!
"Huh? That kid's performance was better than we initially thought?" In the North Stand, the fans of the "White Rose" were surprised by Zhou Zijing's performance.
"No matter how good his performance is, he can't compare to Hu!" David Miller snorted unconvinced when he heard this. "You dare to say anything to make us forget Hu when you act like this? Who does he think he is?!"
"But Dad..." his son Matthew retorted, "We don't need to compare him with Hubby... How many people in the world are more powerful than Hu? As long as he can help us improve our offense, isn't it enough? ”
David Miller glared at his son and ignored him.
Just looking at the stadium again, it can indeed be seen that Leeds City's offense is more threatening than before.
After adding a powerful center, Leeds City's offense has a direction on the one hand, and it can also control the ball in the frontcourt on the other hand. There is no need to worry about losing the ball easily in the frontcourt like before. In this way, Leeds City's two full-backs dared to press forward boldly.
Because they dare to invest more troops in the offense, Leeds City's offensive threat is naturally greater than before.
※※※
When Falek Quinn picked up the ball on the left wing, because of Zhou Zijing's forward pressure, the London Mars back line was pressed into the penalty area, and the front edge of their penalty area was relatively empty.
So Quinn did not pass the football directly to the goal, but passed it crosswise to Jay Adams in the middle, who completed a long shot without being defended.
Although the football was saved by the London Mars goalkeeper, the Leeds City fans in the stands were encouraged. They cheered loudly and cheered for the team.
Leeds City wins a corner kick.
The London Mars players returned to their penalty area to participate in defense.
Forward Benjamin Torrio, who is 1.86 meters tall, is also among them.
As a forward, his heading ability is very good, but his speed is not fast, so in corner kick defense, he is just used to help prevent high-altitude balls, rather than staying in front for counterattacks.
When he stood in the penalty area, he saw the Chinese smiling at him.
The laughter made Torrio feel scared, and he didn't understand why he was laughing.
He no longer paid attention to this lunatic and concentrated on standing in his position - slightly outside the penalty area line at the back point.
In front of him are the two central defenders of London Mars, who are tangled up with the two central defenders of Leeds City.
Torrio is responsible for the back-point defense, and next to him is Dominic Laski, another striker from Leeds City.
The two stood close to each other. Torrio opened his hands and formed a virtual circle. While stopping Lasky, he also signaled to the referee that his hands did not touch the opponent.
There are a lot of players from both sides in the penalty area. It's basically a situation where you have me in you and I have you in me.
Zhou Zijing didn't squeeze to the door, there were people around him.
After both sides were ready, Leeds City took a corner kick.
Pete Williams did not kick the football directly from the corner flag area to the goal, but gently pushed it aside and gave it to Kamara who was waiting here.
Tactical corner kick.
After the Frenchman stopped, he tried to break through directly. He deceived the two London Mars defenders in front of him to retreat back, opened up the passing space, and then kicked off to send a cross!
And just as Kamara kicked the ball out.
The Zhou Zi Jing was also launched.
He first made a gesture to move forward diagonally, deceiving the London Mars player who was guarding him to go forward and get stuck, and then suddenly stopped suddenly and retreated to move back!
In the chaotic penalty area, the opponent had lost track of Zhou Zijing. When he turned around, he could only watch Zhou Zijing leaping forward from behind!
Torrio was competing with Lasky. Lasky turned around and tried to run back, but Torrio blocked him with his body.
The football is already coming to the back. As long as Lasky is not allowed to run to the spot and jump up, his defense will be considered successful...
Just when Torrio was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye...
When he saw clearly who this figure was, he was shocked!
It's that Chinese guy!
He has already jumped over to where he is!
In his haste, Torrio no longer cared about Laski, and quickly jumped on the spot, trying to fight for the top.
It's too late!
He had just taken off, but Zhou Zijing was already in the air, with murderous intent like an angry bull, and he crashed into his arms!
Zhou Zijing hit the ball with his head almost at the same time as he collided with Torrio.
He blinked almost reflexively, and the feeling of the ball touching his forehead disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a football in the goal directly in front of him, being carried by the net and spinning...
And next to him, or rather underneath him, Benjamin Torrio had lost his center of gravity, his body could no longer support himself and was leaning downwards. At the same time, he raised his head and stared at the aloof Zhou Zijing with his mouth open!
He never expected that he would be scored on the head by this stupid Chinese guy!
※※※
"Zhou...Zhou Zijing!!" He Feng stuttered. He didn't expect Zhou Zijing to score in his first overseas game!
"Good goal! Headed the goal! Zhou Zijing also scored his first goal after joining Leeds City! This goal came at the right time!"
"Zhou! Oh ho! Zhou! He scored! First goal in the debut! Aha! This really... reminds me of another Chinese player!" Matthew Cox mentioned "Another one "The first Chinese player" is naturally Hu Lai!
When Hulay made his first appearance for Leeds City, he also scored on his debut.
As a result, now, Zhou Zijing has gone the same way as Hu Lai. He also came on as a substitute in his first show, stepped in at a critical moment, and then... scored!
I don’t know if this is a pure coincidence or some kind of fateful arrangement...
But Matthew Cox still felt sad.
Leeds City fans lost Hu Lai, but now God has sent them another Chinese player who scored on his debut. Is this a kind of... compensation?
※※※
"Goal...a goal?!" The fans of the "White Rose" in the North Stand were stunned. They didn't expect that Zhou Zijing, whom they didn't like, actually scored a goal.
Levin turned to look at the boss, David Miller: "Cheers, David?"
"This..." David Miller didn't know how to answer for a while.
But the cheers surrounding him answered for him.
His son beside him also couldn't wait to cheer.
So David Miller sighed and raised his arms: "Why are you still standing there? We scored! Let the London bastards know that this is the result of irritating us!"
More cheers rang out in the North Stand, and then spread to the entire audience. The fire that had been pent up in the hearts of Leeds City fans since Torrio scored just now was vented in one breath.
As for this new player who they didn’t like before...
Well, although he is definitely not as good as Hu, but... the young man still has some ability!
※※※
Did I score? !
Holy shit!
I really scored!
After landing, Zhou Zijing turned around and ran away, but his mind went blank as to what kind of celebration he should do. He had no idea at all.
Fortunately, his teammates saved him - he was hugged by his excited teammates halfway through the run, then dragged him to the ground and pressed him on!
He no longer has to think about how to celebrate...
Teammates growled in his ears, making sounds he didn't understand.
Although I couldn’t understand it, I could fully feel everyone’s joy.
For the first time, Zhou Zijing felt that he was beginning to truly integrate into this unfamiliar team...
Sure enough, sure enough, you still have to score goals!
As long as I can score goals, there will always be a place for me in this team!
※※※
The celebration finally ended and Leeds City players ran back to their own half.
The London Mars players have also stood in their respective positions, waiting for the kick-off.
Although I am a little unhappy about being tied, there are still thirty minutes left in the game, and it is only a draw now, so there may not be no chance...
Yes, calm down and stabilize your mind!
Benjamin Torrio was standing in the center circle with a football at his feet, ready for kick-off.
The Leeds City players are running towards the midline and are preparing to return to their own half.
Torrio couldn't help but snorted when he saw those Leeds City players chatting and laughing.
The great displeasure was right there on his face.
He was not afraid of being seen by the Leeds City players. He even deliberately wanted to show it to those Leeds City players.
He felt that he was in great condition today and was confident of scoring another goal.
How could you give in in front of Leeds City players at this time?
At this moment, Zhou Zijing, who was originally surrounded by other Leeds City players, suddenly broke away from the team, turned a corner, and ran specifically to the center circle, running towards Torrio!
"Hey..." Laski was a little surprised, and reflexively wanted to call out Zhou Zijing, but was stopped by Pete Williams and Jay Adams.
"It's okay, Dominic. Just watch." Adams said to Lasky with a smile when he stopped him.
Afterwards, everyone turned their attention to it.
I saw Zhou Zijing running to Torio's side, and then, in the eyes of the other party's doubtful eyes, he put up the awning with his hands and made a "looking into the distance" gesture.
It was truly "looking from a distance", because Torrio was right in front of him, but he looked up and looked into the distance, treating the other person as air and turning a blind eye!
Torrio's white face instantly turned red! (End of chapter)
