The Birmingham fans at the scene immediately gave thunderous applause to Zhang Ningpeng, although they don't know Zhang Ningpeng's true strength now? But for the sake of Zhang Ningpeng and Dongfang Chen being of the same nationality, they gave Zhang Ningpeng a very warm applause.
Comrade Zhang Ningpeng is really very lucky, when he is not well-known, when he joined a new team, he was welcomed and treated well by so many team fans.
Ordinary people will be more or less suspicious by fans when they join a new team, especially players from Asia, Comrade Zhang Ningpeng did not receive these, he really wants to thank his eldest brother Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen has paved the way.
When he first appeared on the stage of the Premier League, Zhang Ningpeng was still a little nervous, his first defense on the field failed, and Comrade Rosicky on the side threw him off with a continuous change of direction.
But fortunately, Ridgewell behind Zhang Ningpeng was in a good position, and a prediction in advance kicked the football out of the bottom line.
Ridgewell did not complain about Zhang Ningpeng, but said very caringly: "Don't be nervous, Zhang! Just like training, you have the strength! ”
Hearing the encouragement of his teammates, Zhang Ningpeng took a deep breath, then looked up and nodded firmly to Ridgewell.
"Even! It can be seen that Zhang from China is still very nervous, and he was easily got rid of Rosicky this time, but in fact, Rosicky's speed is not fast! I hope that this Chinese young man can put down his burden and try his best to express himself. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

Dongfang Chen is very grateful to the fans of the Birmingham team here, this is really a group of lovely fans.
Corner kick!
Arsenal were given a corner and Cesc Fabregas went straight to the corner and he was going to take the spot.
Dongfang Chen immediately inserted into the Birmingham team's penalty area, James Collins, a strong and bald central defender with a high altitude, immediately came to Dongfang Chen's side, and he defended Dongfang Chen today.
In the training of the original Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen often fought with James Collins, at that time, James Collins couldn't bear Dongfang Chen, and now he feels a lot of pressure.
It was then that Cesc Fabregas curled the ball into the Birmingham penalty area.
"Dongfang Chen!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately roared with excitement, and his voice was very loud.

The faces of all the Birmingham fans at the scene changed greatly, and their hearts were nervous, they all knew that Dongfang Chen was powerful, and their hearts were pinched at this moment.
At this time, their mood is very complicated and bad, why did Dongfang Chen leave Birmingham and become their enemy? I feel very uncomfortable.

Goalkick, Birmingham goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel kicked the ball out, Chamacher hit the ball, Carlos Vela immediately rushed up and shot with a lob, but unfortunately the ball was too high to threaten the Arsenal goal.
Arsenal goalkick, Almunia kicked the ball out with a big foot. Dongfang Chen jumped up directly, ferried a header and ferried the football to Van Persie.
At this time, the Birmingham team are feeling a lot of pressure, and the Arsenal team seem to be normal, and they have caused a lot of problems for their goal.
Van Persie received the ball and immediately shifted it to the wing, where Rosicky caught it and immediately dribbled forward.
However, Birmingham full-back Zhang Ningpeng suddenly made a prediction and stabbed the football off his feet, and then Zhang Ningpeng immediately turned sideways around Rosicky and drove forward with the ball.
"Beautiful! Beautiful break, Rosicky was completely unprepared! China's Zhang is good this time, he is still dribbling the ball, and the stride meteor is very fast. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said with some surprise.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were also pleasantly surprised, and it seems that the Chinese full-back still has some strength.
They can all see that Zhang Ningpeng's physical condition is very good, and now it seems that this guy's speed is also okay, maybe the Chinese player is also very good.
With the ball through the midfield, Zhang Ningpeng saw Alexander Song pounce, Zhang Ningpeng immediately had no intention of continuing to break through, he immediately waved back, before Alexander Song pounced, directly a big foot, the football directly to the other side.
At this point, the other side of the Arsenal team was completely empty, where Birmingham City full-back Sebastian Larsson was rushing forward.

The Birmingham fans at the scene were also pleasantly surprised to see Zhang Ningpeng's long pass, and they felt that the Chinese player in front of them was also very good.
On the other side, Sebastian Larsson stepped forward quickly, without slowing down at all, and Zhang Ningpeng's long pass gave him enough advance and passed very well.
Sebastian Larsson scurried forward, chased the ball with ease, and then slammed the ball into the Arsenal box.
"Fight back! Birmingham's counter-attack was very beautiful, very fast, and it was dangerous. Sebastian Larsson is about to hit the box. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was nervous at the moment, and he said immediately.
The Birmingham fans immediately erupted in a rush of shouts to cheer Sebastian Larsson on, and they saw an opportunity to take the lead again, and they were very excited.
Sebastian Larsson was in front of him as he dribbled the ball into the Arsenal penalty area at high speed.
At this point, Arsenal's centre-back Vermaelen pounced on him and came up to intercept Sebastien Larsson's line.
However, at the moment when Vermaelen pounced, Sebastian Larsson directly buckled the football to the middle and deducted Vermaelen, Sebastian Larsson did not hesitate, directly slammed his leg and pumped it fiercely towards the football.
"Shoot! Sebastian! Sky Sports commentator Andy Quarantine immediately shouted loudly.
With a bang, the ball flew out at a rapid pace, straight towards the far end of the Arsenal goal.
Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia immediately took off and pounced on the ball with one palm. But he didn't touch the football, and Almunia was terrified. However, the ball flew slightly off the far post and off the line.
"Oops! Almost, Sebastian Larsson's in-cut shot was almost there, alas! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately lamented.
The Birmingham fans at the scene sighed collectively and felt sorry in their hearts.
Almunia drove the football out with a big foot, and the football flew directly to the front, this time Dongfang Chen jumped, but he did not ferry the football out, but stopped the football with his chest.
As soon as Dongfang Chen landed on the ground, he immediately knocked the football backwards with his heel, and the football went directly under the legs of James Collins behind him.
Before James Collins could figure out what was going on, Dongfang Chen turned around him sharply and faced the Birmingham goal head-on.
"Beautiful! Beautiful breakthrough, James Collins didn't react! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were complicated when they looked at this, they stared at Dongfang Chen's back and were stunned, and at the same time they were faintly worried.
Dongfang Chen did not slow down after breaking through James Collins, and immediately dribbled the ball to the Birmingham team's penalty area.
Birmingham's central defender Ridgewell couldn't sit still, he immediately pounced from the side and came up to intercept Dongfangchen, if he didn't intercept Dongfangchen, Dongfangchen would have to be single-handed.
"Ridgewell pounced, just in time! What should Dongfang Chen do? Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was very nervous.
Seeing Ridgewell pounce up, Dongfang Chen, who was advancing with the ball, immediately waved his leg sideways, making a gesture to give the football bed to Van Persie behind Ridgewell.
Ridgewell was so shocked that he immediately stopped and turned around and pounced on Van Persie.
However, at the moment of Ridgewell's emergency stop, Dongfang Chen shook his ankle, buckled the football in reverse, and directly accelerated past Ridgway and entered the Birmingham team's penalty area.
"Beautiful! It's over, Dongfang Chen has passed Ridgeville! Single Knife! Dongfang Chen is single-handed! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was thrilled.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were very frightened, their faces were pale, they knew that it was over, Dongfang Chen's single knife, it was comparable to a penalty, this time they really had no chance.
Birmingham goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saw centre-back Ridgewell being discarded, and he immediately abandoned the goal and rushed towards Dongfang Chen, who was dribbling the ball.
