Fox in the Penalty Area

When they saw the real-time standings on the TV screen, the coaches of the Stan Park Rangers sighed.

When Abion shrunk their defense, they were full of hope for Abion's away draw with Leeds City.

But now it seems that it was a wrong decision for them to put their hopes on Abien.

After all, Abion is Abion, they are not good at defense, and being able to hold for 25 minutes in the second half is considered pretty good.

In the end, it was scored by Leeds City.

"Get ready for the worst, guys." Brooks' voice echoed across the room. "In the next round, we have to beat London at home, or say goodbye to the league title."

No one else in the room uttered a word, only the cheers of the Flanders Stadium coming from the TV speakers, and Matthew Cox's excited commentary:

"...For the first time this season, Leeds City has finally reached the top of the league standings! When the league ends, whether they will still be in this position...Let us wait and see!!"

※※※

The entire Flanders Stadium was celebrating like crazy, but Clark soon came to his senses.

When the Leeds City players finished celebrating and ran back to their own half, they saw the manager Clark standing on the sidelines and making a "keep attacking" gesture to them.

Obviously, leading by only one goal is not enough to satisfy the head coach, and to be honest, it is really not safe-if Abion is allowed to score another goal, wouldn't Leeds City's three points become one point?

Now that we have scored a goal, of course we must take advantage of this opportunity, work hard, make persistent efforts, and make another victory!

The players of Leeds City have already understood the manager's style very well.

In fact, there is no need for the head coach to remind them on the sidelines. They also know that it is not enough to lead by one goal, and they will continue to attack Abion's goal in the next game.

The reason why Abien wants to stick to it is because they are tied with Leeds City. They believe that as long as they stick to it, they can keep this point.

And now that the tie has been broken, they are already behind. The basis for continuing to defend the score no longer exists.

Since Abion doesn't continue to place a bus in front of the gate, what else is Leeds afraid of?

Of course it's fucking!

Facing the morale boosted by this score,

With Leeds City in full swing, Abion's defense is under tremendous pressure.

And finally in the seventy-seventh minute when the loss was declared again.

But this time it was not Hu Lai who scored twice, but Jay Adams. While Lorenzo and Hou Lai were both in the penalty area to attract Abion's defensive attention, he suddenly inserted into the penalty area, received a pass from Williams, and scored with a low shot!

"3:1! Leeds City almost sealed the victory!"

This time the cheers in the stands seemed to be louder than when Hu Lai scored twice, because Adams' goal made many Leeds City fans put their hearts back in their throats.

With more than ten minutes left in the game, a two-goal lead can really reassure them.

Only at this time did they dare to cheer louder and celebrate to their heart's content.

The cheers of the Leeds City fans continued until the end of the game.

After Adams' goal, neither team scored again.

Abion first gave up the historical mission of being a fate maker, and no longer struggled to death.

Leeds City also began to prepare for the next round of the away game against Tramed, replacing the main players including Hou Lai.

The last ten minutes of the game basically ended calmly.

"The game is over! Leeds City used the victory of this game to surpass the Stan Park Rangers and reach the top of the Premier League! But the league is not over yet, and there is still a tough battle waiting for Leeds City. If they can't beat Trame in the away game Germany, then they may still give up the number one throne...

"Trammed's away game is not easy to play. The Red Roof Stadium used to be the home of the famous devils in Europe before Stan Park. And I believe that Tramed's fans will not allow Leeds City to step on their home court. With their corpses approaching the throne of champions...

"But in the same way, I am afraid that London Bridge will not give up easily at Stan Park Stadium. They will compete with North London Rangers for the Europa League qualification next season. If they lose to Stan Park Rangers in the next round, they may be defeated by North London Rangers London Wanderers Overtaken!

"In short...the competition for the Premier League title this season has entered a fierce stage!"

"Don't get too excited, guys!"

In the home team locker room at the Flanders Stadium, Clark said with a straight face to the players who had just come off the field.

"I want you to remember the mistakes we made before this game. Don't fall over the same stone twice. We can't say we are number one yet because Tramed is not easy to play. If you want To become the Premier League champions, then we will risk our lives to fight Tramed in the next game. Not only must we go all out, but we must also exert 200% of our energy! Only in this way can we win at the Red Roof Stadium Beat Tramed!"

"Now we're two games away from the league title and as long as we get all the wins we can be champions! It's going to be the first Premier League title for a lot of people in our squad... no, everyone in their careers. I hope everyone will grit their teeth and stick to the league for two more rounds, and make history together!"

There is a reason why outside media said that Leeds City may become the first civilian team to win the Premier League in the 35 years since its establishment. It's not just because the Leeds City club has less budgetary investment and less income, and its economic size is far worse than that of the giants. It is also because there are no superstars in this team, and people like Hu Lai are all rookies who have just emerged, and they are not superstars.

Although Jay Adams became famous at a young age, he has never grown up, which is far from what everyone expected of him at the beginning, so although he is famous, he is still not a superstar.

The whole team has the main force and the substitutes, and none of them has the honor of the Premier League championship.

Even Jay Adams, during his time at London Bridge, London Bridge did not win the Premier League title.

When London Bridge won the Premier League title, he was sadly sent out on loan.

So Jay Adams, who has been famous for many years, does not have the honor of the Premier League champion in his personal honor book until now.

Such a rookie new army, compared with the Lancashire Rangers who spent a lot of money to collect star players to form the "most promoted horse in history" and then created the "Rose Miracle", they are indeed civilians and cannot be more civilians.

You must know that the transfer budget of the Lancashire Rangers in the season they won the championship, such as transfer investment and salary expenditure, was the highest in the Premier League.

Just because this team is newly promoted, they cannot be considered "civilians".

The current financial budget of Leeds City Football Club ranks fifteenth among the twenty teams in the Premier League-if the financial budget represents a team's final league ranking, then Leeds City should be able to relegation. In fact, at the beginning of the season, the club set a goal of relegation, and this goal plan is very in line with their financial investment expectations.

It's just that in the end the team's performance greatly exceeded the club's expectations and everyone's expectations.

If they can really win the championship, it will definitely be a major event that shocked the Premier League for 35 years, a milestone that can be written in the history of the Premier League, and a real "victory of the common people".

At the post-match press conference, Clark was "stable" as always.

The expression on his face was calmer than that of the reporters present.

"...The league is not over yet, we are only one point ahead of the Stan Park Rangers. You must know that the Stan Park Rangers were also one point ahead of us before, so this one-point lead does not mean anything...Of course, the current The situation is indeed in our favor. But only if we win the next two games. And the next round of Tramed, it is not easy to play, we are still away... so I will not talk about the Premier League title. . I just focus on the next game."

A reporter raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Clark, if Leeds City finally wins the championship, it will be the first time that a truly civilian team wins the Premier League. Do you think this represents the victory of the common people?"

Clark glanced at the reporter: "I said before that I don't talk about the Premier League championship, so I can't answer your question."

The reporter who asked the question was anxious: "If, if, I mean if. Let's assume..."

"I don't assume things never happened, sorry sir." Clark shook his head firmly.

A group of reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, wanting to roll their eyes: Don't talk about the Premier League champion, so what are we interviewing! This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about right now!

Clark, who seemed to know what the reporters were thinking, said with a smile on his face: "Let's talk about Kamara's performance. Did you see that wonderful performance of his assist in the game? He was almost alone. Let Abien's entire defense collapse... To be honest, I think he can be selected for the French national team based on his performance in the Premier League this season. Of course, if he is not selected in the end, I can accept it. At least we'll have a rested Kamara next season..."

※※※

After the press conference, reporters complained that Clark was too cautious. Everyone knows that Leeds City is heading for the championship. There are only two league rounds left. The team is in the first place, one point ahead of the second place, but they dare not even say "if they win the championship".

As for?

"Honestly, Tony. I also don't understand. You are too cautious. If I didn't know you well enough, I would think that you have no confidence in winning the championship..." assistant coach Sam Randyll also said Clark's approach was somewhat critical.

Clark smiled slightly—speaking of which, Randall has seen this kind of mysterious smile on Clark's face many times this season, and he still hasn't figured out what the meaning behind this smile is. But Clark likes to smile like that anyway...

Clark smiled and said, "Sam, I learned a new word from Hu, it's called 'defeat'."

"What's that?" Randyll was at a loss and couldn't understand the word at all.

"You can understand that because you weren't cautious enough, you didn't get the result you wanted in the end..."

"I get it, 'get carried away'."

"No, no, no, it's not about being complacent. Being overly complacent is about being overly complacent. And 'defeating character' means that even if you just stated your goals naturally without showing off your complacency, it also caused the final failure. That is to say You can't even say it, at least you can't publicize it publicly, otherwise the mission is doomed to fail from the moment you say it!"

Randyll was dumbfounded, and shook his head after a moment of stupefaction: "I always feel that Hu is lying to you. Did he say that it was some mysterious oriental spell? Just like he deceived Charlie Potter. I used to only know that Bo It's kind of silly, but I didn't expect Tony you to..."

Clark interrupted Randyll's nonsense: "I thought he was talking nonsense at first, Sam. But he told me about his championship in China, which touched me deeply..."

"what?"

"He told me that when he played in China, his team also aimed at relegation at the beginning of the season-isn't it very similar to us?"

Randyll nodded.

"But in the end they became the champions of the Chinese Super League. And their head coach has always emphasized in front of the media that his team's goal is to avoid relegation. And he is not like me, he announced the goal of winning within the team. The Chinese The coach didn't reveal his true purpose until the end. He kept the idea of ​​winning the championship in his heart...Nonsense that it was because he was afraid of 'losing character'. His cautious approach did help the team win the league Champion. So they became the first newly promoted team to win the championship in the history of China's top league, and they created China's 'Rose Miracle'!"

Clark seemed to have a lot to say, and he continued to talk eloquently: "After listening to this story, I analyzed it carefully, Sam. This kind of statement sounds ridiculous at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is actually quite scientific— —When we publicize our goals everywhere, we have actually entered into a state of complacency in our subjective consciousness, but we don’t know it. There is a tight string, always reminding us not to relax, not to be proud, not to get carried away... We can't do any 'defeat' behavior. So it seems unreasonable for me to insist on not talking about the champion, but in fact It's a reminder to myself to keep my mind clear and calm. It's an 'anchor', Sam, an anchor in my heart, and as long as this anchor is there, I won't get carried away and misjudge the situation!"

When speaking the last sentence, Clark said please be serious, as if talking about a very sacred thing.

Randyll wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say it. He opened his mouth wide and sighed: "God... I don't know whether what you said is right or not..."

Clark laughed: "Then I'm right, Sam!"
