"...When Stan Park Rangers were held back by Liverpool United in the Merseyside derby, Leeds City finally seized the opportunity! Their team, which aimed at relegation at the beginning of the season, actually really
Have a chance to compete for the league championship!”
Although Leeds City officials have never mentioned this, many people, including commentator Cox, now believe that Leeds City's goal is definitely to compete for the championship.
Before the game between Leeds City and Warshipsport, Manchester Athletic had already lost to London Bridge in an away game. Although they were still ranked third, they not only had one more game than Leeds City, which had not played a game at the time, but were still nine points behind.
point.
In other words, even if Leeds City draws with Warship Port in this game, it will actually have no impact on them.
As for qualifying for the Champions League... In fact, after the 31st round of the league, Leeds City had already qualified for next season's Champions League in advance. At that time, Leeds City had 75 points, and North London Wanderers ranked fifth.
With 49 points, the difference between the two teams reached 26 points. With seven rounds left in the league, this point difference allowed Leeds City to lock in qualification for next season's Champions League seven rounds in advance.
Relegation has been successful long ago, and now we have qualified for the Champions League.
It stands to reason that Leeds City should really have no desires and desires, right?
But look at the crazy performance of Leeds City after Hulay's goal. How does this look like there is no desire and no desire?
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 their home court and gave the opponent an identical score.
Most importantly, they are only four points away from Stan Park Rangers!
Four points is already a point difference that everyone can relate to a lot of things.
"Tony, is this the time you said you can't hide anymore?" assistant coach Sam Landill asked Clark after the game.
Clark scratched his head.
Seeing his appearance, Randhir was a little surprised: "What are you doing? Do you still want to hide?"
"It's not that I still want to hide it. I'm just thinking that now everyone thinks that we are going to compete for the championship, or even win the championship. But at this time, we have to stay calm, so I decided to attend the post-match press conference later.
Pour cold water on me when you meet..."
Randhir 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 championship? I'm not thinking about that much now. I just feel that we won the game again."
Just happy... Yes, we are now four points behind Stan Park Rangers, but I don't think that means anything... After all, Stan Park Rangers are still ahead of us, and as long as they keep winning, they will still be
Championship. We can only do our own thing, 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, and strive to make Leeds City win every game. As for the others
This matter has nothing to do with us..."
A group of reporters looked at each other in disbelief under the stage, but they didn't expect Clark to really be able to keep his composure.
At this point, almost everyone can see that Leeds City has the potential to compete for the championship, but he can still act so calmly in front of so many media reporters.
It really makes people wonder whether the person who rushed into the stadium to celebrate passionately after Hu Lai's goal was the same person as the person being interviewed on the stage...

"I really want to ask Clark, does he believe what he said?" Stan Park Rangers assistant coach Stephen Brown looked at the media reports on the post-match press conference and sneered.
Brooks seemed very calm: "Whether people believe it or not, he at least said one thing right, 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 Leeds
There is one thing we can learn from Chengdu, that is, they only focus on doing their own thing well. Trying to win every game, no need to think about other things..."
"If they can win every game, of course there is no need to think about other things." Brown couldn't help but mock Leeds City.
This season Stan Park Rangers' lead over Leeds City has gone from a maximum of 15 points to just four points now. It is still difficult for Brown to remain calm in the face of this aggressive pursuer.
Brooks knew what Brown was thinking. He smiled and shook his head, not caring about his assistant's verbal advantage: "It's not all bad news for us. At least Harry is coming back."
After being injured in the 25th round of the league, Harry Bernard has been recovering for two months and can already train with the team. In the next round of Stan Park Rangers' home game against Abion, if nothing else happens, it will be very difficult.
It could be the day that team captain Harry Bernard returns to the field.
This is really great news for the demoralized Stan Park Rangers. Their leader and backbone is 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 win. In short, we don't care about Leeds City and do our best.
The thing is, as long as we win every game, the championship still belongs to us."
Brooks finally set the tone.

When Neil Mullin pushed open the door to the lounge, he could feel several eyes focusing on him for an instant.
He knew what those looks meant, but he still kept calm under everyone's gaze and walked towards the drink machine.
At the soda machine, he met Andy Warman, who was standing there, blocking the Coca-Cola Mullin wanted to get.
Seeing that Warman had no intention of giving in, Mullin said: "Give way, Andy, you are blocking me."
Andy Warman stared at Mullin for a while, and finally stepped aside.
But when Mullin was getting the drink, Warman said next to him: "This time I just blocked you from getting the Coke, Neil. Next time it won't be that simple."
Mullin looked at him.
"In the 37th round of the league, Tramed will stop your dream of winning the championship at home!"
Mullin shrugged: "I've said it before, Andy. I'm very happy to be able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Even if we don't win the championship in the end, I don't feel any regrets."
Warman sneered: "Hypocritical!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
With a bang, Mullin opened the can's tab, looked at Warman's back, and took a big gulp of ice-cold Coke.

"Four points! Only four points left! Can we really win the championship?!"
In the "White Rose" bar, David Miller and his friends gathered together to drink and exchange their views on the league situation with great interest.
After successfully avoiding relegation in the league, they have different opinions on what the team's goals are this season.
People who have no ambition think that their current results are already very good, and they only have to decide where they can go in the end. They have no requirements for their results.
But such people are in the minority, and more people are swinging back and forth between qualifying for the FA Cup and the Champions League.
However, when Leeds City was eliminated from the FA Cup by Manchester United, everyone was united in thinking that we must ensure that we can qualify for the Champions League next season!
That was the first time in Leeds City’s history that they participated in the Champions League!
Just thinking about it makes people excited.
As a result, they have now forgotten about qualifying for next season's Champions League, and everyone is thinking about the league championship.
After all, there are four places to participate in the Champions League in the Premier League every season, but there is only one Premier League champion. Isn't it obvious which one is more precious?
"I feel like we really have a chance! As long as we can keep winning, maybe it's really possible!"
"Don't be blindly optimistic, right? Even if we are only four points behind, if Stan Park Rangers keeps winning, wouldn't it still be four points behind? The most important thing is that we have no games with Stan Park Rangers next.
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! Stan Park Rangers are scared to death. As long as we can continue to put 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 was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"
"It's pretty fast, it's been more than two months."
Levin frowned when he heard this, and was no longer as cheerful as before.
Any England fan, even one who is not a Park Rangers fan, should know what the name Harry Bernard means.
Don't look at Stan Park Rangers' previous five-game winning streak after losing two rounds, but the opponents in these five wins were all against weaker teams. They stopped when they really had to fight tough battles.
For example, in this round of Merseyside Derby, they were tied by Liverpool United, their city rivals who were far inferior in strength.
And now that their backbone is back, I believe it is absolutely exciting news for Stan Park Rangers players and fans.
