…Sometimes, I actually admire Tony Clark’s football, because when the team attacks, it’s like mercury pouring down the ground, it’s really beautiful. I know it’s annoying to talk about a successor like this…
But out of my love for Leeds City, I have to say that Tony Clark chose the wrong team. If Leeds City were a team in the middle of the Premier League, I would support his football 100%, after all, it is also extremely
A unique style of play that is pleasing to the eye. But the problem is that Leeds City is a relegation team. Under such circumstances, should the priority be to score points steadily and ensure that we can stay in the Premier League first?"
On the TV screen, a white-haired, elderly man was talking to the camera, and a line of subtitles was typed next to him:
Lauren Gallie, former Leeds City meritorious manager
Then the screen switched, and a middle-aged male host appeared in front of the camera and said with a smile: "Recently, Lauren Galli, who is idle at home, accepted an interview with our station. In addition to sharing his leisure time at home with our reporters,
In addition, he also talked about the most concerning prospect of Leeds City's relegation. In his words, he criticized Tony Clark's persistent tactics..."
Under the TV hanging from the ceiling, a group of people in the "White Rose" bar were sitting around and having a heated discussion.
"Guys, listen to me, listen to me!" A middle-aged man raised his arms covered with tattoos and shouted loudly, "Just because we return to the North Stand does not mean that we bow to the club. Quite the contrary.
, this time we go back just to express our dissatisfaction to the club in person. Because we want to welcome Sean Barnett home with the warmest cheers, the more enthusiastic we are about Barnett, the more people in the podium and VIP box
Those people’s faces are getting more and more confused!”
"Levin is right!" Another person stood up and echoed, "And we only returned to the stands for this game, not for every game in the future. When this game is over, what should we do?
Do it. Continue to empty the stands and express our attitude to the club! How about it? Seriously consider this suggestion. We can use applause and singing to make Barnet feel the warmth of going home..."
"But isn't that cheering for our opponents? Sean Barnett is no longer a Leeds player. He is back in Flanders for North London Wanderers. He is our enemy and is here to beat us.
"North London Wanderers are now competing for Champions League qualification. I don't think this will be a tender game." Some people objected.
“Of course, of course. We’re just welcoming Barnett home, we won’t be giving any applause or cheers to Londoners,” explained the person at the beginning.
"Then what? When we welcome Barnet? What are you going to do in the next game? Are you dumbfounded in the stands?" The objector continued to ask. "What are we going to do? It's for Leeds City.
Cheer up? Or boo? Or... do nothing? But no matter which way it is, I think about it with my brain, and I think this is really weird. I have been a fan for so many years, and I have never seen anything like this.
A strange game...Sorry Levin, I'm not targeting you, I just can't imagine what the point is for us to return to the North Stand under such circumstances."
Seeing that he could not convince his companions, Levin could only turn his attention to David Miller, who was sitting at the head: "David, tell me, what is your opinion?"
When he said this, everyone present turned their attention to David Miller.
In full view of everyone, David did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.
The others didn’t say anything, just waiting patiently for their leader to make a decision.
Although they would always joke about David's bad relationship with his son and make fun of him, they were never vague when talking about serious matters.
After about half a minute, David said: "'White Rose' is a whole. Although we have been divided several times in the past few months, this makes the importance of a whole even more obvious. So let me make a statement first.
, no matter what the final result is, I hope that everyone will advance and retreat together. Never act without permission like before, no matter what the reason is."
His words were very serious.
Everyone also nodded solemnly and agreed: "Of course, we are a whole."
“Don’t worry, David. I support the final decision 100%, even if it’s not what I wanted.”
"Me too."
“Similarly!”
…
After everyone expressed their opinions, David Miller slapped the table with his hand: "Let's go and welcome Sean Barnett back to Flanders. Then he booed at the 13th minute of the game.
To express our dissatisfaction to the capitalists on the podium. To do this, we need to make some banners, not only to welcome Barnett home, but also to demonstrate to the club."
As soon as David Miller said this, the two groups who were still arguing looked at each other and accepted it.
This is indeed a more appropriate approach and has successfully resolved the contradiction between the two parties.
"agree!"
"I agree!"
"No comment!"
“Just do it!”
Everyone expressed their stance again, and the matter was finalized.
“Well, let’s get ready. It will take time to make the banner.” David Miller announced the adjournment of the meeting.
The companions drank all the beer in their glasses, put down their glasses, stood up and left.
Soon only David Miller was left at these tables.
Then he heard a voice from behind: "David, I have a question for a long time. Can you help me answer it?"
David Millan turned around and saw a thin old man with silver hair coming down from upstairs.
Pub owner Leo White.
“Of course, Old White. What’s your problem?”
The old man walked downstairs and leaned on the bar, his chest heaving violently, as if just a few steps would consume all his strength.
After he took a breath, he looked at David Miller who turned to look at him and asked: "What if...I mean what if, what if Leeds City finally succeeds in relegation. You will continue to occupy the North Stand next season."
Are you free?"
Facing this question raised by Old White, David Miller didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent.
“Or, in fact, you are secretly expecting the team to be relegated?” the boss asked again.
David Miller quickly defended himself this time: "No, absolutely not. Old White, you can't guess about us like that..."
"If the team is not relegated, how can we prove that you are right?" White didn't care about David's excuse, but continued to ask.
This time, David Miller did not make any excuse. He opened his mouth and no sound came out.
In the end, under White's watchful eye, David Miller had no choice but to flee.

"...A number of Leeds City supporters' organizations have announced that they will return to the North Stand when Leeds City host North London Wanderers. It is reported that this move is to welcome Sean Barnett back to Flanders...
"
Hu Lai listened to the news broadcast from the car radio and said to Yong Jun: "This Sean Barnett's status in the hearts of Leeds City fans is really high..."
"Of course, he played a big role in Leeds City's success in reaching the Premier League. In the season when they reached the Premier League, he scored 21 goals and had six assists. He was voted by Leeds City fans that season.
The most popular player." Yong Jun said while driving. "Before Pete Williams, he was the talent with the highest expectations on the team."
Hu Lai nodded, not surprised by this.
A player who performs so well is a talent he has cultivated himself. Of course, it is easier for him to win the love of local fans.
After all, with a local household registration book, the bloodline is more pure...
Outsiders need to work harder if they want to earn the same respect.
This is a universal principle for any team.
After all, football clubs are essentially carriers of community culture and regional culture.
Being separated from the community is like a tree without water or a tree without roots. Naturally, regional identity is one of the most important emotional ties in the team.
He Hu Lai was able to gain the acceptance and love of the fans so quickly in Flash Star. In addition to his good performance, it has a lot to do with the fact that he is an Anton native.
So Hulay doesn’t think there is anything wrong with Sean Barnett’s treatment.
But Uncle Yong said: "But I personally think the actions of these fans are questionable. At the very least, what they do may make the players who are currently playing for Leeds City unhappy."
“Isn’t it normal to welcome home a former meritorious player?”
Hu Lai didn’t think there was any problem, because this incident is very common in the football world and has even become a legend.
"It would be normal if these fans hadn't vacated the North Stand before. But they refused to go to watch the game before and now they have returned to the North Stand to welcome Sean Barnett. Do you think other Leeds City players will
What do you think?" Yong Jun asked back. "Do you think that those of us who are playing in Leeds City are not as good as someone who has left? Even if Sean Barnett has made great contributions to the team's promotion to the Premier League.
.But is there no one in the team who has also contributed to the team's advancement?"
Hu Lai was stunned. This was indeed an issue he had not considered before.

Sean Barnett walked out of the training ground and was surrounded by reporters: "Barnett, North London Wanderers' opponent in the next round of the league is Leeds City. What do you think?"
Barnett, who is tall and straight, smiled slightly: "I am very happy to be able to return to Flanders. To be honest, I can't wait."
“You have played in Leeds City for six years, and you already have many friends there, right?”
“Yes, I still miss the time when I played in Leeds City.” The smile on Sean Barnett’s face did not diminish.
“North London Wanderers are in an important stage of their fight to qualify for the Champions League, and at the same time, your old club are also fighting for relegation. Does this put you in a dilemma?”
Barnett shook his head: "I am now a player for North London Wanderers. Of course I will do my best for the current team. Of course, I will not celebrate after scoring a goal."
※※※
…“I won’t celebrate after scoring a goal.”
Sean Barnett said this with a smile on the TV.
Someone in front of the TV sighed and murmured: "There was no need for this..."
David Miller was not paying attention to the content on the TV. He was asking his other companions: "Are the banners ready?"
“It’s done,” Levin showed him.
One greeting to Sean Barnett: "Welcome home, Sean the Sheep!"
Another one pointed the finger directly at the club management: "He should have been our hero!"
“This second banner, we are going to hang it up after Sean scores a goal.” Levin introduced to David Miller.
Although Sean Barnett has said he will not celebrate after scoring, fans will use this to criticize the club management.
Challenge those high-ranking officials: Such an excellent player originally belonged to Leeds City, but you betrayed him for 25 million pounds. I ask you now if you regret it!
