Scott Brooks frowned and looked at the players in front of him, unable to hide his anger: "What are you doing? What kind of team do I see? Have you already given up in advance?!"
It's no wonder he was so angry. In fact, most of the Stan Park Rangers players in front of him were listless. They were standing on the training ground, but their thoughts were obviously gone.
Although a day has passed, it seems that everyone has not recovered from the blow of Leeds City's decisive victory over Tramed.
Originally, everyone was watching Tramed's home game against Leeds City in the locker room because everyone was concerned about the outcome of the game and strongly requested the coaching staff to allow them to watch the game in the locker room.
But now Brooks regrets this decision extremely.
There's nothing more devastating than everyone coming together to face Leeds City's late winner Tramed.
"The league is not over yet, there is still one last round left. Let's not talk about whether Leeds City can defeat Northumbria in the last round, even if they can. Don't you want to wait for the result of the game there before taking the lead?
Hand surrender? Remember Stan Park Rangers motto? Bernard!”
Harry Bernard, whose name was called, stood up.
"Tell them!" Brooks said, looking at the other players.
Bernard held his head high: "'Rangers, never give up!'"
Someone raised their head and looked at captain Bernard and head coach Brooks.
"Rangers, never give up!"
More people looked up.
"Rangers, never give up!!"
Harry Bernard called three times and then stopped.
Brooks looked at the players: "Now you know what you have to do?"

On the first-team training ground, Tony Clark looked at the players standing in front of him, his eyes scanning their faces one by one.
He scanned everyone before nodding and said: "Yes. There are no dark circles under the eyes, and there is no depression due to overindulgence... It seems that you all had a good rest at home yesterday. I am very happy that you all took my warning the day before yesterday.
I heard it in my heart.”
After the game against Tramed the day before yesterday, the entire Leeds City team rushed back to Leeds overnight. After arriving, head coach Tony Clark announced that all first-team players selected for this game would have a day off, and they could play the next day.
There is no need to come to the training base to participate in training. This is also because in the game with Tramed, the players who have always been physically excellent were exhausted, which made Clark realize that he must ensure that the players are fully exhausted at the most critical time.
Rest to avoid feeling overwhelmed in the last round.
But he also warned the players that the league is not over yet and there is still one last round left.
Therefore, a victory against Tramed does not guarantee that Leeds City will win the championship. It also depends on the results of the final round.
He asked all players not to relax and tighten their hearts until the last round of the league was played.
"...We completed an amazing game at the Red Roof Stadium, and the final winning goal has become a hot topic discussed in the entire European football world in just one day. Every one of you has a smile on your face.
Light...but if we can't win the championship in the end, think about it carefully, are you worthy of that game and that goal at the Red Roof Stadium?"
"In the last game, our home court, our opponent doesn't seem to be as strong as Tramed, so how can we lose? But if you have such an idea in your mind, you will definitely lose! So forget the points, and in
In the remaining days, concentrate on preparing for the game against Northumbria, and don’t give Stan Park Rangers any chance!"
After Clark finished speaking, assistant coach Sam Landill stood up and blew the whistle: "Start warming up, boys!"
In the footage of reporters in the distance, the entire Leeds City team started their day's training with a warm-up.
※※※
"After a day's rest, the Leeds City team regrouped and started training to prepare for the final round of the league... After the training, head coach Clark accepted our interview and was satisfied with the state of the players in training. But he
Still refuses to discuss the league championship...Of course, this makes sense, after all, it is out of respect for Northumbria, the last league opponent..."
The TV set in the "White Rose" bar was playing the day's football news, and what appeared on the TV screen was footage of the entire Leeds City team players warming up on the training ground.
After David Miller and his friends read the news related to Leeds City, they looked away and continued to have a heated discussion while drinking.
"Why didn't the media criticize Clark for feeling guilty at this time? Instead, they talked about respect...ah, when Clark didn't mention the championship before, didn't he respect his opponent?"
"Hey, isn't that because now we really have a chance to win the championship? Do you think the media respects our opponents? Wrong! They respect the championship!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
They have been discussing Hu Lai's winning goal for a whole day, and it is still ranked second on the "hot topic list" of the "White Rose" bar.
It was originally ranked first, but what pushed it down was the topic of "league championship".
"How will the club celebrate if they win the championship?"
"It is said that the club has prepared a plan. If Leeds City wins the championship, the celebration ceremony will be held directly at the Flanders Stadium..."
"Eh? What I heard is that the city council is planning to let the team take a bus to parade around the city..."
"Why did we both hear completely different news?"
"The devil knows..."
"It feels so chaotic! What should we do then?"
"It's my first time to win, and I have no experience. Please be more understanding..." David Miller said.
When he said this, everyone suddenly became quiet.
"What?" David Miller didn't expect everyone's reaction. He frowned and asked, "Am I wrong?"
"No." John shook his head, "You are right, David. This is the first time Leeds City has won the championship..."
David Miller also reacted when he heard this.
This is really the case, this is everyone’s first time!
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not the first time Leeds City has won the championship, because thirty-one years ago, they won the National Northern League Championship... Well, the National Northern League ranks sixth among all English football leagues.
class.
That was the last time Leeds City won the championship. Leeds City had also won some championships before that, but they were all regional league and cup championships. They had little gold content and were completely unimportant.
After that, no matter what level of league it was, Leeds City had never aspired to win. Their promotion to the Premier League relied on finishing second in the English Championship that season, not the championship.
The National Northern League championship has been around for too long, and its influence and gold content are seriously lacking, so in fact many Leeds City fans do not count this championship among Leeds City's honors at all.
In their minds, if Leeds City can win the Premier League championship this season, then this will be the first championship honor in the history of Leeds City Club!
How else can we say that Leeds City is a complete unknown in English football?
Their history is so pale that it can be written on half an A4 paper... there may be some left.
As the representative team of the third largest city in England, this history really does not match the status of the city where it is located.
Now this piece of white paper has been filled with colorful strokes, and this first stroke is actually... the Premier League championship!
"I still can't believe that we are going to win the championship... Do you know? After the game with Tramed, when I woke up from bed the next day, I even thought that the so-called Hu Jue Kill Special
What happened to Lamed was just a sweet dream I had... It wasn’t until I turned on my phone and saw the overwhelming news and videos that I realized I wasn’t dreaming!”
Levin murmured in a low voice, as if talking drunkenly.
"Who isn't?" John picked up the wine glass and knocked it lightly on his glass, then drank the wine himself.
Levin did not drink, but continued to talk:
"When we first entered the Premier League, I looked through the histories of those Premier League teams one by one and saw descriptions in those team histories such as 'the 1940s were the most glorious time in the history of the team'. I
I was just thinking: Even teams that are relegated in the Premier League have had their glorious years. What about our Leeds City? We have been established for almost a hundred years, but our resume is blank. At that time, I felt that participating in the Premier League was our Leeds City.
The glory days, looking back on the team history after a few years, the Premier League years must be our highlight moments... I would never have imagined that we would actually have the Premier League championship later! Ha! The history of Leeds City's team is finally worthy of being written as the seventh team in the history of the Premier League.
Championship team!”
At this point, Levin suddenly became excited. He raised his glass and shouted excitedly: "This is the golden age of Leeds City! Let's drink for this!"
John looked at the empty wine glass in his hand and cursed: "FUCK Levin! I drank it all before you said..."
Amid everyone's laughter, John raised his empty glass and shouted, "Who can give me some more?"
"Don't try to drink from me, John!"
"That's right, every drop of our wine is extremely precious!"
The boss Leo White, who had been watching this scene silently behind the bar, said loudly to the bartender: "Give our John another drink, and I'll treat him to it."
Everyone cheered: "I want it too, Old White!"
"That's right, you can't be so partial, Leo!"
White ignored the hooting and raised his whiskey glass: "As Levin said, guys..."
When everyone saw his action, they stopped making noises and calmed down to look at him.
"Here's to this golden age!" he said loudly.
"cheers!!"
All the Leeds City fans in the bar raised their wine glasses high into the air, and the golden liquid swayed out of the glasses, as if they were an echo of this golden age.
