Fox in the Penalty Area

Although West Herz pulled a goal back in the second half, this did not change the final outcome. Leeds City still defeated them 2:1 at home.

In this round of league upsets, Leeds City's 2:1 victory over West Hertz at home is considered a good result:

The top-ranked Stan Park Rangers ushered in their first defeat of the season. They lost 1:2 to the twelfth-ranked Abion at their home court.

Athletic Manchester shook hands with the 14th-placed Highlanders 2:2 away.

London Bridge lost 0:1 at home to the seventeenth-ranked London Mars.

Tramed was tied 2:2 by the newly promoted Holt at home, and the latter only ranked sixteenth.

Warship Harbor also failed to win, and they scored 2:2 away with the 19th-placed Peterborough United.

Among the top seven teams, only Leeds City and Wiggerston have won this round.

Although the Stan Park Rangers lost the game, they still ranked first with 37 points: their point advantage is too great, even if they lose a round of the league, the impact is actually not great.

In other words, the main impact is on the psychological level, not on the points ranking-the first defeat in the league made Stan Park Rangers' unbeaten record of 30 consecutive league rounds across the season pass away, which made Stan Park Rangers fans very unwilling and regrettable results.

Since the 21st round of last season, after the Stan Park Rangers lost 1:2 away to Manchester Athletic, they have remained unbeaten in the league and won the league championship last season as they wished. After entering the new season, the first thirteen rounds of the league are also unbeaten, with twelve wins and one tie, the momentum is amazing.

It also took advantage of the trend to create the longest consecutive unbeaten record in the history of the club.

Everyone had hoped that Stan Park Rangers could break the 48 consecutive Premier League unbeaten record set by Trent at the turn of the century twenty-five years ago-this record was created by Trent in the 1999-2000 season, spanning It has lasted for two centuries (at that time, people believed that 2000 was the beginning of the new century), so it was also called "the undefeated century".

Trent, who created the "undefeated century", has experienced a bankruptcy crisis and has already been relegated to the British Championship, and currently there is no hope of upgrading. But the record they created is still the longest unbeaten streak in the top league in the history of English football, and no one has been able to shake it so far.

Fans of the Stan Park Rangers had hoped that their team could do it, so that they would be worthy of the media who chanted "a dynasty is coming" all day long.

In the end, it was terminated after only 30 rounds, and this result didn't even rank in the top five of England's top league unbeaten records... It's a shame.

This dealt a fatal blow to the face of Stan Park Rangers fans.

Athletic Manchester scored 27 points because of the away draw with the Highlanders, and was overtaken by Leeds City with 28 points from the win.

So Leeds City once again became the second in the league, while Athletic Manchester returned to the third position.

This is already the fourth time that the two teams have repeatedly seen each other in the second and third positions, and the competition is very fierce.

At the same time, it also shows that it is reasonable for Manchester Athletic fans to still be dissatisfied with the team's performance after the last round of victory, not because they are hypocritical-the performance of Manchester Athletic this season is indeed not stable enough.

Since the 14th league round, Athletic Manchester has never won three consecutive league rounds.

Win one and draw one, win one and lose one, win two and lose one, win two and draw one...

It's like riding a roller coaster like this. Anyone who is a Manchester United fan will be upset.

And many times the opponents they lose are the lower-ranked mid-lower teams.

For example, in the fifth round of the league, they lost 2:3 away to Peterborough United, which was ranked second to last at the time.

In the eighth round, they lost 0:2 at home to Walder Hampton, who was ranked fifteenth at the time.

If you can't win against a weak team, it's like Leeds at best, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. However, they did not win the three games against direct competitors Stan Park, Leeds City, and North London Rangers: Manchester Athletic:

One loss and two draws.

Lost to Stan Park Rangers, draws by Leeds City and North London Wanderers.

This is the direct reason why Athletic Manchester has been dropped by double digits in points this season by Stan Park Rangers.

As for the four BIG6 teams of Tramed, London Bridge, Warship Harbor, and North London Wanderers, their performance this season is even worse, even worse than Manchester Athletic. Otherwise, they wouldn't be under the pressure of Leeds City.

North London Wanderers are particularly poor, and now they have dropped to just seven places.

Now the number one in the league is still the Stan Park Rangers. They lead the second place Leeds City by nine points, but the lead has been chased from double digits to single digits. The third place is Manchester Athletic with 27 points, the fourth place is Tramed with 24 points, the fifth place is Wiggerston with 24 points, the sixth place is London Bridge with 23 points, and the seventh place is Warship Harbor eleven points.

After the fourteenth round of the league, the gaming company updated the winning odds of each team. Although the Stan Park Rangers are still the most favored team, their odds have increased slightly.

However, Leeds City has greatly reduced from the previous one-thousand to one-hundred-one!

The odds mean they went from "not at all" to "maybe have a chance".

This is a remarkable progress!

When Neil Mullin, a truck driver with a Leeds City team scarf around his neck, pushed open the door of the company's lounge again, he could feel that everyone's eyes on him were different from the previous ones.

"Hi, Neil, congratulations! It looks like you really have a chance to win a super prize!" A colleague raised his hand and greeted Mullin.

This time they didn't have yin and yang, and these words were definitely not mocking Mu Lin.

Although the odds of 100 to 1 are still very high, compared with 5,000 to 1 at the beginning of the season, Leeds City is getting closer to that almost impossible goal with actual performance...

In the past, when others questioned Leeds City's championship, Mullin would always shrug and ask: "Why not?"

Use this approach to "strong words and reasoning" to protect your hometown team.

Now it is a different attitude-he waved his hands: "I don't care if Leeds City can win the championship. I am very satisfied with the current performance of the team and can't ask for more."

Andy Warman, a Tramed fan next to him, snorted: "Hypocrisy!"

Mullin smiled: "Yeah, fans of small teams have never seen the world, and they are already scared enough to be ranked second in the league. I am afraid that it will collapse next. In order not to disappoint me too much, I can only lower Standard, as long as we can avoid relegation! Andy, Leeds City's goal this season has been clear from the beginning-we are a relegation team."

"Damn it, it's second in the league and still promoting relegation! Isn't this hypocrisy?" Warman yelled.

"So what do you want us to say, Andy? 'Yeah, we're aiming for the title!' And then when we're finally knocked out of the top six, you're going to laugh at us for being overwhelmed. Okay, Andy , I know your tricks very well, so don't take them out." Mullin waved his hand and went to get a can of Coca-Cola from the drink cabinet.

Pull it open with a bang, and the sweet smell is sprayed out along with the gas, which makes Mu Lin feel refreshed.

Andy Warman behind him was stunned speechless.

In this round of the league, Tramed was tied at home by the newly promoted Holt. With other strong teams losing the chain, they failed to make further progress.

This made Warman even more upset, and felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Leeds City fans Mullin.

He could only think in his heart: I don't believe that your momentum can continue! Christmas is coming, and the schedule around the New Year is intensive. Leeds City, which has no advantage in the depth of the lineup, can compete with the giants? Now that your grades are good, that's because you haven't used up your pre-season training reserves, and you can still make a dash. Wait until the second half of the season to watch, then it will be the right position for you!

Once a mutual friend of the two, Joe Irost, came out to smooth things over after seeing this: "It's really hard to say about winning the league championship. Now the Stan Park Rangers lead by nine points. Even if they lose a game, as long as they are normal If you play well, you can still successfully defend the title... But the league scorer list, I think there may be no suspense..."

His words were also echoed by others: "Yeah, Hu is in great shape. To be honest, I really didn't expect him to perform like this this season..."

"Hu's odds of winning the Premier League Golden Boot this season have now dropped to 6-to-1. This basically means that there is no suspense for him to win the Golden Boot!"

"It's terrible! Leeds City really picked up a treasure this time! When they announced the signing of this player from China at the beginning of the year, I hadn't even heard Hu's name...but now I can see it almost every week. Hearing his name in media reports..."

Mu Lin didn't express that he didn't dare to expect Hu Lai to win the Golden Boot as before, but happily raised the Coke in his hand: "If Hu Zhen can get the Golden Boot, I'll invite everyone to drink!"

"Oh--!!"

His words drew cheers from his colleagues in the lounge.

Amid the cheers, Andy Warman sneered again and again.
