Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 97 Depressed Zhou Zijing

Luo Kai sat on the bench for 90 minutes without getting a chance to play.

In this way, he passed the first Manchester derby in his life.

Kendor Kabanka was substituted in the 88th minute.

This substitution has no tactical significance, just to allow Kabangka to enjoy the applause of the home fans alone.

Although Kabanka almost left the team this summer, and the contract renewal negotiations with the team have not progressed yet, everyone can see that Kabanka really wants to leave Manchester Athletic this time.

But the fans gave Kabangka their applause without hesitation.

On the one hand, it is because Kabanka's status in the hearts of Manchester Athletic fans is really high.

On the other hand, Athletic Manchester fans hope to use their enthusiasm to persuade Kabanka to change his mind.

It can also be seen that Kabangka who was replaced was really moved.

He frequently waved to the home team fans in the stands.

This may lead some Athletic fans to think they have succeeded.

But in fact, deep down in Kabunka's heart, he knows exactly where his future lies.

After he came to Europe from Brazil, he has already changed two teams, and he is no longer a rookie who can simply be stumbled by the feelings of the fans.

But he still thanked the fans very seriously, because this kind of gratitude is indeed from his heart.

Kabanka's end means the end of the game.

In the end, Tramed lost 1:3 to the rival Manchester Athletic in the same city.

Athletic Manchester therefore continues to lead the league table.

If it were changed to two seasons ago, Kabangka would definitely feel excited and happy for such a result.

But now, there is no wave in his heart...

No, not right either.

It's not that there are no waves, but that I want to leave the Premier League and go to La Liga even more.

Because such a Premier League is really not challenging for Kabangka.

The original rival Stan Park Rangers entered a period of decline with the serious injury of their captain Harry Burgard.

City rival Tramed is now unable to return to the right track of revival.

Without Hu Lai, Leeds City has degenerated into an ordinary European qualification contender...

Although the Premier League has only played seven league rounds this season, it is already a bit like Manchester Athletic seeking defeat alone.

If Athletic Manchester can create a better European environment for them to win the Champions League in the domestic Dugu, then it is not impossible to keep Kabanka.

But the problem is that Athletic Manchester's performance in the Champions League is really a bit stretched.

Losing to Blue and White Munich in the Champions League final last season completely shattered Kabanka's patience and confidence in the club.

He believes that if he continues to stay at Athletic Manchester, it is impossible to make any breakthrough in the Champions League.

This thinking may be somewhat pessimistic.

But it's actually quite normal.

After all, no matter how good professional players are, they are only on the court. They are not omniscient gods, and it is impossible for them to predict the future.

So occasionally there will be a situation where a player transfers to a stronger team in pursuit of higher honors, but next season it is his old club that gets the championship honor he dreamed of.

But such examples are extreme and uncommon.

The vast majority of players still believe in the simple truth that "moving a tree dies, but moving a person makes it alive".

If you can't win the championship with your old club, then change to a stronger club.

As for what will happen after changing clubs, whether it will be self-defeating, that is not what a professional player should consider.

Luo Kai regretted and was unwilling to get the chance to play in the Manchester derby.

Zhou Zijing was experiencing something completely different from Luo Kai, but with similar psychological feelings - he was being replaced.

In the seventh round of the league, Leeds City played against West Hertz at home. Zhou Zijing started in this game.

This is his second start after joining Leeds City-the first start was after the game against London Mars. Because of his outstanding performance in this game, he was put into the starting list for the away game against Burleigh.

But Zhou Zijing's good form did not continue. Although he started the game, he was replaced in the 67th minute.

Performance can be described in four words: mediocrity.

Today's game against West Hertz is Zhou Zijing's second start and the first consecutive start.

But Zhou Zijing was not happy.

Because he knows what this starter means.

This is definitely not a reward for him.

After the game against West Hertz, Leeds City will welcome the Champions League group match rival Madrid Pirates at home next Tuesday.

In the first round of the group stage, Leeds City drew 0:0 with Kyiv in an away game. If they want to qualify from this group, they must make the most of their home court advantage in the second round of the group stage and beat the Madrid Pirates at all costs.

Although the Madrid Pirates have their old friend, Leeds City have no choice this time around.

In order to be able to defeat the powerful Madrid Pirates, it is natural to rotate in this round of the league.

Gu\u003c/span\u003e So most of the main players did not start today.

And the players who can start in this game mean that it will be difficult for them to start in the Champions League next Tuesday.

At least someone like Zhou Zijing, who is not an important main player in the team, will not have the "privilege" to start three consecutive games.

But Zhou Zijing quickly regained his strength. He believes that if he can perform well in this league, he should be able to get the chance to start in the Champions League.

What counts as a good performance?

Hmm, like a brace?

Or a hat trick?

But it's a pity that Zhou Zijing didn't even score a goal in the 71 minutes of his start, let alone scored twice.

Not only no goals, but no assists.

But in fact Zhou Zijing's performance is not bad, otherwise Clark would not have allowed him to play for 71 minutes before replacing him.

There is nothing wrong with using "moderate" to describe it.

Of course there are no bright spots, but there are no major mistakes.

If you must look for a bright spot, he played four minutes more in this game than in the last game, which is still an improvement...

This is actually a very normal performance. After all, no one can guarantee that they can score goals or get assists when they play.

Zhou Zijing was too demanding of himself.

But there is no way, after seeing Hou Lai's performance in the Madrid Derby, and after the match with so many legends surrounding Meli and Hou Lai who is better, Zhou Zijing, who aims to defeat Hu Lai, has to be honest with himself. Be tough.

He was mediocre and made no mistakes. It was impossible for him to challenge such a fool.

※※ ※

Zhou Zijing, who was replaced, was still warmly treated by the head coach Tony Clark—the latter took the initiative to extend his hand to Zhou Zijing. While holding his hand, the other hand patted him on the shoulder, and tell him:

"You've worked hard, you've done a good job, go rest now."

If it is normal, Zhou Zijing will be very happy to receive such evaluation and comfort from the head coach. Because it means that he has further won the trust of the boss.

But now he even has "frustration" and "disappointment" on his face.

Clark didn't delve into Zhou Zijing's expression either. He just patted the opponent and turned his attention to the court again.

Zhou Zijing returned to the bench with his head down, and sat down on his own seat.

Then he took off his sneakers and tossed them aside. Then he took off the socks to the end, turned the shin pads out...he just rested with his bare feet.

At the same time, he looked at the field in a daze.

He knows that with his performance, it is absolutely impossible to start in the next round of the Champions League group stage.

He doesn't even know if he can enter the squad for the Champions League.

On the North Stand of the Flanders Stadium, David Miller and his companions have just finished singing "Song of Hu" together with other fans in the North Stand.

This song, which could only be sung after Hu Lai scored a goal, lost the chance to appear with Hu Lai's departure.

Leeds City fans were unwilling to let this song disappear in the Flanders Stadium, so they gave up the previous self-restraint of "only singing after Hou Lai scored".

There is no need for a reason now, as long as everyone thinks about it, they can "HUHUHU" together in the stands.

They express their yearning for Hu Lai in this way.

And singing in today's game has another meaning-they are warming up for the next Champions League group match.

The fans of Leeds City have negotiated, and they will sing once between the end of the entrance of the players on both sides and the start of the game. It is used to express their gratitude and miss to Hu Lai.

"Did you watch that Madrid derby? Hu scored two goals in the game, but when he made his iconic celebration, those Madrid Pirates fans shouted that jerky, what a shame!" Levin fully expressed his disdain for the Spanish fans.

David Miller asked John: "John, you said you would find a way to tell Hu what we think, so do you have a way now?"

John was a little depressed: "I sent Hu a private message on Twitter, but he didn't reply to me..."

David Miller rolled his eyes wildly: "Damn it! Could it be that your so-called method is to send him a private message? His social network accounts are probably managed by a PR company. I don't know how many people send him private messages every day! How could he see the private message you sent him!"

John, who was complained about, quickly said: "But I have another way!"

"I'm getting hopeless..." David Miller was speechless.

"It's definitely possible this time! Remember when we contacted everyone on the Internet to drive a bus to watch the game in the Europa League final? Now we can use the same method to launch a joint campaign online to create momentum, and it will definitely work." Let Hu know what we are doing! And we can also find Mullin and let him help us promote it... Absolutely no problem!" John said his plan in one breath.

As he narrated, David Miller didn't complain or roll his eyes, but his expression gradually became serious.

Because after thinking about it, he felt that this method was really reliable...

※※ ※

Three whistles.

Cheers rang out over the Flanders Stadium-Leeds City defeated West Hertz 1-0 at home, and they could still win with a rotation lineup, taking all three points, which is indeed worthy of celebration.

While applauding, David Miller said to John beside him:

"The game is over, we are going to start making TIFOs that welcome Hu, and I will leave it to you, John, to contact Hu. Be sure to tell Hu! Let him know that no matter what, Flanders will always be His home, we will always love him!"

Just like David Miller, the Premier League game is over, and most people in this stadium are looking forward to the UEFA Champions League group match next Tuesday...
