"What is the concept of being undefeated at home for 90 games? Is it difficult to achieve?"
Xie Lan heard the commentator He Feng repeatedly emphasize the unbeaten record of Stan Park Rangers at home, which meant that this record showed that Stan Park was very scary.
Hu Lixin nodded: "It's difficult, very difficult. It's the Premier League... no, it's the longest home unbeaten record in the history of England's top league. And not just the league, in the past four years and eight months
, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League...in all games, Stan Park Rangers have never lost at their home court. Therefore, Stan Park is also called the 'undefeated home court'. As long as it is played at home, Stan Park Rangers will win.
The performance of Park Rangers is very good, and all the players are in better condition than in the away game. This is a real home field advantage, and it is not the so-called 'more familiar with the venue' or 'the referee will be biased'..."
Xie Lan nodded after hearing this, because she also saw it. From the first minute of the game, Stan Park Rangers' offensive was very fierce. So much so that ten minutes had passed since the game, and Leeds City couldn't even take a shot.
No, I only hit the opponent's thirty-meter area once...
After watching football for so many years, she can also see what this means.
In fact, just when Hu Lixin was introducing Sheeran in this way, Stan Park Rangers on the field was launching a swooping attack on Leeds City's goal. Coupled with the shouts of Stan Park Rangers fans on the scene, it made people feel as if
It's as if the Rangers' attack can score a goal.
In fact, they are right to think so...
Stan Park Rangers left midfielder Ian Shepherd took the ball from the wing and suddenly sent a cross.
Leeds City center back Ben Grist got tangled up with Stan Park Rangers center Matty Palacio while returning to defense, but he still used his physical advantage to squeeze in Palacio.
forward, and then kicked the football first, preparing to make a clearance.
At this time, he only had one foot to support his body, and Palacio's whole body was squeezing against him, interfering with his rescue...
So the football kicked by Grist flew directly towards the goal!
"Hey, be careful!" He Feng exclaimed.
Goalkeeper Fan Dewen quickly took two steps back and then jumped backwards, waving his arms with all his strength!
The Chinese fans in front of the TV took a deep breath, and Xie Lan even widened his eyes and dared not speak.
Fortunately, in the end, Van Der Ven lifted the football over the crossbar with one palm!
"Wow, it was so dangerous! Almost... almost Grist got an own goal! He made a mistake under the pressure of Palacio..."
Grist, who made the mistake, quickly raised his hand to apologize to goalkeeper Van de Ven. When he saw the football flying towards the goal, he was half chilled. Fortunately, his teammates finally pulled him out of the abyss.
After Van Der Ven stood up, his expression became a little nervous again. He didn't even comfort Grist, who apologized to him, and his movements were slightly stiff.
"Under the continuous fierce attack of Stan Park Rangers, Leeds City players began to make some mistakes... This is not a good sign..." Yan Kang, who was next to He Feng, said worriedly.
"The pressure of playing in this stadium is really great," He Feng said. "When Grist almost scored an own goal just now, the Rangers fans in the stands made such a noise that I thought the ball was scored!"
※※ ※
"Something's not good, Tony." In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, assistant coach Sam Randall said to Clark with a frown. "Our players seem to be a little too nervous..."
"It's not like that, Sam. They are just nervous." Clark said, "This is Stan Park after all. It is normal for them to be nervous."
When the two of them were talking, they could hear the cheers of the Rangers fans at the scene.
The cheers started when Grist kicked the football toward the goal, and they show no sign of abating until now.
At first glance, I thought Stan Park Rangers fans were celebrating a team goal.
"Although we didn't concede a goal this time, if we keep playing like this, we will still concede the goal sooner or later," Randhir said.
"We expected the goal to be conceded, Sam. The important thing is to score goals."
"But Tony, look at the performance of the players. Do you think they can score goals when they are so nervous?"
Clark looked at the court and kept silent.
Because he doesn't know the answer to this question either.
※※ ※
In the visiting team's stands, David Miller held his head in his hands and looked at the court with a fearful expression on his face: "Fortunately, Van der Ven was focused enough, otherwise we would have conceded the goal now!"
"What happened to Ben today? He almost made a big mistake just after the game started! This shouldn't be his normal level..." Levin muttered beside him.
"How many people here can perform at a normal level?" John sneered, "This is Stan Park! Listen to the sound now, we have to shout when we talk face to face. Levin, do you think it was you on the court?
In a competition, hearing such a voice, how much of your ability can you perform at your normal level?"
Levin grinned and stopped talking.
Not to mention playing football, even if he was watching the game in the stands and wanted to cheer for the team, he could not open his mouth amidst the roars of Stan Park Rangers fans.
It's not because the voice is too soft and is muffled, but because the heartbeat is too fast, the mouth is dry, and the body is so weak that it can't make a sound at all...
As a fan, if you really can't make a sound when watching a game in the stands, forget it. This is an away game anyway, and it's difficult to compete with the home fans in a normal away game, let alone in Stan Park.
But as a player, after taking the field, in such an environment, if your legs and feet become weak, your heart beats too fast, and your whole body feels weak... then how can you still play?
Leeds City fans really can't ask for more from the players.
After all, in the past four years and eight months, too many teams have lost games in this stadium, and the best result is nothing more than a draw.
※※ ※
Just three minutes after Grist almost scored an own goal, Stan Park Rangers got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
The person responsible for taking the free kick was their attacking midfielder, Swiss international Matthews Schneider.
Before Schneider took the free kick, Stan Park Rangers fans who were watching Taihang had already started to build momentum. They sang loudly and sang and danced in the stands as if they were celebrating a goal.
But actually at this time, Leeds City players were still setting up a human wall...
After the wall was set up, Schneider stepped back and prepared for a run-up. A low and continuous buzz sounded from the stands: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO——"
The whistle sounds, Schneider runs up and kicks the ball!
The football bypassed the Leeds City wall and accurately penetrated into the goal guarded by Van de Ven!
"——OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!"
The low roar in the stands instantly turned into a roar.
"Beautiful——!! Perfect arc! Schneider! In the 16th minute, he opened the scoring for the Rangers!"
Accompanying Cox's shout was the cheers that suddenly erupted above Stan Park.
Rumbles of thunder echoed over Stan Park!
All the Rangers fans in the stands jumped up, raised their arms and shouted!
The sound was so loud that people inside it felt like they were about to have a heart attack.
Scott Brooks raised his arms and shouted in front of the home team's coach's bench on the sidelines, echoing the words of the Rangers fans in the stands.
The whole stadium was in a state of carnival.
It makes the already terrifying atmosphere in the stadium even more terrifying!
※※ ※
"Stan Park Rangers are ahead! In their home court, this team is simply invincible!" Seeing this scene, He Feng in the studio could only praise honestly. "This free kick is Schneider's personal ability.
Performance, but getting this free kick is indeed the result of the Rangers team constantly putting pressure on Leeds City... In the end, they got such a threatening free kick... It can even be said that even if Stan Park Rangers couldn't get the free kick
If the ball is thrown, maybe he will get a penalty kick later..."
"Tony Clark did not choose to let the team set up a bus when they faced the Rangers away from home, which was also the reason why their defense was under too much pressure..." Yan Kang analyzed from the side.
"In this game, Clark's defensive strategy for the team was very radical. He used man-to-man defense on both wings regardless of cost. The two full-backs even pressed into the frontcourt to defend... At the same time, because of this kind of man-to-man marking,
, will lead to holes in the defense line, so players in other positions must come over to fill in. A large number of such defenses that cover and switch positions can easily make mistakes in the game, focusing on one and losing the other... The free kick just now was because Jay Adams was
When he was on defense, he made up for it and lost his defensive position, causing Williams to return to defense and could only foul..."
"Of course, we can't say that there is anything wrong with Clark's defensive tactics. When playing Stan Park Rangers away from home, with Leeds City's defensive level, they can only use this tactic. After all, Leeds City's advantage is that the players are young and have plenty of physical strength.
, has excellent running ability. Therefore, adopting this defensive tactic that requires a lot of running is the best choice. If you really want all Leeds City players to retreat to the 30-meter area to set up the bus, they will still lose the ball..."
He Feng echoed: "That's right. Leeds City has chosen the defensive tactics that best suit them, but the Rangers' players' personal abilities are too good. Facing the pressing of Leeds City players, they can also use their personal abilities to drive the ball."
There is no way. Although Leeds City has performed very well so far this season and ranks second only to Rangers in the league, the strength gap between the two teams is still very large. This can be seen from their points.
The difference can be seen - Rangers leads Leeds City by as many as 11 points. This point difference in the second half of the league can almost end the suspense of the championship early..."
He was right. Based on Park Rangers' stable performance, with fourteen rounds left in the league, and an eleven-point difference, Park Rangers' chances of winning the championship have indeed been greatly increased.
So although this game is a game between the first and second teams in the league, it definitely cannot be called a "championship game."
I can't hit it with eight poles.
In the live TV broadcast, the Stan Park Rangers players finally ended their celebration, but the shouts in the stands were still deafening.
Amid huge cheers, they ran back to their own half, passing the stunned Leeds City players, with confident and happy smiles on their faces.
