Fox in the Penalty Area

"... when Stan Park Rangers were held back by Liverpool United in the Merseyside derby, Leeds City finally took their chances! Their team, which was aiming to avoid relegation at the beginning of the season, turned out to be true. There is a chance to compete for the league title!"

Although Leeds City officials have never mentioned this, many people, including the commentator Cox, now believe that Leeds City's goal must be to compete for the championship.

Before the game between Leeds City and Warship Harbor, Manchester Athletic had already lost to London Bridge in the away game. Although they were still ranked third, they not only had one more game than Leeds City, which had not played the game at that time, but were also nine points behind. point.

In other words, even if Leeds City drew with Warship Harbor in this game, it would actually have no effect on them.

As for the qualification for the Champions League... In fact, after the 30th round of the league, Leeds City had already qualified for the Champions League next season ahead of schedule. At that time, Leeds City had 75 points, ranking fifth in North London. Rangers accumulated 49 points, and the difference between the two teams reached 26 points. With seven rounds left in the league, this point difference allows Leeds City to lock in the qualification for next season's Champions League seven rounds ahead of schedule.

Relegation has long been successful, and now the Champions League qualification has also been obtained.

It stands to reason that Leeds City should really have no desires and no desires, right?

But looking at the crazy performance of Leeds City after Hu Lai's goal, how does this seem to have no desires?

So there is only one truth:

Leeds City want to compete with Stan Park Rangers for the league title!

※※※

In the end, Hu Lai's goal became the last goal of the game.

Leeds City defeated Warship Harbor 3:2 at home and returned the opponent with exactly the same score.

Most importantly, they are only four points away from the Stan Park Rangers!

Four points is already a point difference that makes everyone think of many things.

"Tony, is this what you're talking about when you can't hide?" assistant coach Sam Randle asked Clark after the game.

Clark scratched his head.

Seeing him like this, Randyll was a little surprised: "Why? You still want to hide?"

"It's not that I still want to hide. I'm just thinking that now everyone thinks that we are going to compete for the championship, or even win the championship, but the more we have to keep calm at this time, so I decided to participate in the post-match press conference later When you meet, pour cold water..."

Randyll grinned: "So you still want to hide..."

At the post-match press conference, facing a group of enthusiastic reporters, Tony Clark said calmly and at a normal speed: "League champion? I don't think so much now, I just feel that we have won the game again. Just happy...yeah we're four points off SPR but I don't think that means much...after all SPR still leads us and as long as they keep winning they will still be Champion. We can only do our own thing well, and there is no need to worry too much about the ownership of the championship. That is not something we can decide... Now I have one goal, to strive for Leeds City to win every game. As for the others It has nothing to do with us..."

A group of reporters looked at each other below the stage, unexpectedly Clark could really hold his breath.

It's all here, and almost everyone can see that Leeds City has the potential to compete for the championship, but he can still behave so calmly in front of so many media reporters.

It really makes people wonder whether the person who rushed into the stadium to celebrate enthusiastically after Hu Lai scored a goal is the same person who is being interviewed on the stage in front of him...

"I really want to ask Clark, does he believe what he said?" Stan Park Rangers assistant coach Stephen Brown looked at the media's report on the post-match press conference and sneered.

Brooks seemed very calm: "Whether he believes it or not, he is right about one thing, that is, as long as we can keep winning, the league championship will still be ours.

So there is no need to be so impatient. I think one thing we can learn from Leeds City is that they only focus on doing their own thing well. Try to win every game, don't think about other things..."

"If they can win every game, of course they don't have to think about other things." Brown still couldn't help mocking Leeds City.

This season, Stan Park Rangers' lead over Leeds City has gone from a maximum of fifteen points to only four points now. In the face of this aggressive chaser, it is still difficult for Brown to hold his breath.

Brooks knew what Brown was thinking. He smiled and shook his head, not caring about his assistant's behavior of taking advantage of his words: "It's not all bad news for us. At least Harry is coming back."

After being injured in the twenty-fifth round of the league, Harry Bernard has recovered for two months and is already able to train with the team. The next round of Stan Park Rangers' home game against Abion, if nothing else, is likely to be the day when team captain Harry Bernard returns to the court.

For the low-morale Stan Park Rangers, this is indeed great news. Their leader and backbone are coming back!

"And in the next six rounds of the league, Leeds City will have to play against two teams from Manchester. Neither of these two games is easy to play. In short, let's not care about Leeds City, and do our own The thing is, as long as we can win every game, the championship still belongs to us."

Brooks finally set the tone.

When Neil Mullin pushed open the door of the lounge, he could feel several eyes focus on him instantly.

He knew what those gazes meant, but he remained calm under everyone's gaze and walked towards the drink machine.

At the soda machine, he met Andy Warman, who was standing there, just blocking the Coca-Cola Mullin wanted to grab.

Seeing that Warman had no intention of letting go, Mullin said, "Let's go, Andy, you're blocking me."

Andy Warman stared at Mullin for a while, and finally stepped aside.

But when Mullin was getting the drink, Warman said beside him: "This time I just blocked you from taking the Coke, Neil. It won't be so simple next time."

Mullin looked at him.

"In the thirty-seventh round of the league, Tramed will stop your dream of winning the championship at home!"

Mullin shrugged: "I said it earlier, Andy. I'm already very happy to qualify for the Champions League next season. Even if we didn't win the championship in the end, I don't feel any regrets."

Warman sneered: "Hypocrisy!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

With a bang, Mullin opened the tab of the can, looked at Warman's back, and took a big mouthful of iced Coke.

"Four points! Only four points away! Can we really win the championship?!"

In the "White Rose" bar, David Miller and his partners gathered together to drink and exchange their views on the league situation with great interest.

After the successful relegation in the league ahead of schedule, they have disagreements about what the team's goals are for this season.

People with no ambitions think that their current grades are already very good, and it will be the last step they can go to. They don't ask for grades.

But such people are a minority, and more people are swinging back and forth between the FA Cup and Champions League qualifications.

But when Leeds were knocked out by Athletic Manchester in the FA Cup, everyone was on the same page - we need to make sure we qualify for the Champions League next season!

That was the first time in the history of Leeds City to participate in the Champions League!

Just thinking about it is exciting.

As a result, they have now put their qualification for the Champions League next season behind them, and everyone's mind is full of the league championship.

After all, there are four places in the Premier League every season to participate in the Champions League, but there is only one Premier League champion. Isn't it obvious which one is more precious?

"I feel that there is a real chance! As long as we can keep winning, maybe it is really possible!"

"Don't be blindly optimistic, right? Even if we are only four points away, if the Stan Park Rangers keep winning, isn't it still four points away? The most important thing is that we have no more games with Stan Park Rangers. You can only look at other people's faces..." John analyzed for everyone.

Levin shook his head and closed his eyes: "Don't listen, don't listen! The Stan Park Rangers have been frightened. As long as we can continue to exert pressure on them, they will definitely make mistakes!"

"Bernard will return to the Rangers in the next round of the league!" John reminded him.

Levin froze for a moment: "So fast?"

"It's not too late, it's been more than two months."

Levin frowned when he heard this, and he was no longer as cheerful as before.

Any England fan, even if he is not a Stan Park Rangers fan, should know what the name Harry Bernard means.

Don't look at the previous Stan Park Rangers ushered in a wave of five consecutive victories after two rounds of invincibility, but the opponents of these five victories were all weaker teams. When it's time to fight the tough battle, we will stop cooking.

For example, in this round of the Merseyside Derby, they were tied by Liverpool United, their city rivals who were far inferior to them.

And now that their backbone is back, I believe it is definitely exciting news for the players and fans of the Stan Park Rangers.
