Chapter 764 Enjoying Victory
Although the game resumed, the North London Rangers fans in the stands were obviously much quieter.
They all held their heads in their hands and looked at the court silently.
With just a few minutes left in the game and Rangers only trailing by one goal, it stands to reason that they still have a chance to equalize - of course, only if they equalize. If you want to turn defeat into victory, it is basically a fantasy.
But many Rangers fans couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in their hearts.
At the beginning of the game, when they discovered that the visiting team Leeds City was actually playing against them, every Rangers fan in the stands cheered inwardly.
I think Leeds City is simply seeking death.
As a result, there were still a few minutes left before the end of the game, and Leeds City really fought against them for more than 80 minutes, and then led them in the score.
This makes the North London Wanderers fans feel very unhappy.
Although we did not qualify for the Champions League last season, we were ranked fifth last season. How come we were defeated in a battle with a relegation team?
Some Rangers fans have set their sights on Leeds City's No. 14 player.
Hu Lai!
His last two goals became the weight that decided the outcome.
This man looks... ordinary. Why can't our defense line guard him? !
The North London Wanderers fans in the stands were confused by the current score.
The Rangers players on the pitch were no better.
Fight against your opponent for the entire game, but end up falling behind in the end.
What does this mean?
It shows that their offensive strength is not as good as a relegation team!
Hulay's goal in the 86th minute greatly damaged the morale and fighting spirit of the North London Rangers players. In the last few minutes of the game, the Rangers also attacked, but their offense was completely unstructured.
It's more about the brute force of one's own players.
For example, Sean Barnett took a long shot after receiving a pass from his teammate outside the penalty area.
This was a very reluctant shot, and of course it flew high over the baseline without any suspense.
The Leeds City fans in the northeast corner gave him merciless jeers and applause.
Thanks Sean, we were only one minute away from winning this game at Leeds City!

One minute later, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
A mix of boos, yells and cheers erupted over St. John's Stadium.
The Leeds City players on the field raised their arms and shouted, and the Leeds City players off the field rushed onto the field to hug their teammates in celebration.
"The game is over! Congratulations to Leeds City, they won a hard-fought away victory! Although the process was full of twists and turns, Leeds City still had the last laugh. For the fans, this was a very exciting offensive battle. After scoring seven goals, Leeds City had the last laugh. The victory in this game also brought them to 15 points, and they are still ranked third after seven rounds of the league!”
When Cox said these words, there was still a sense of disbelief in his tone.
He had a vague hunch that Leeds City's results this season might surprise many people...
The TV camera quickly focused on Hulay, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates.
At the same time, subtitles were printed below the camera screen: "Best of the Game"
Cox followed this shot and said: "Hulay once again won the best player of the game, and he deserved it! He scored twice in this game and helped the team win the goal battle. At the same time, he I also continue to be the top scorer in the league with eight goals... It is unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen, although I have said it many times, I still want to express my surprise - the start of the season Before, did any of you think of this Chinese player? Can he perform like this? This is only his second season in the Premier League! His goals in seven league games have almost caught up with all his goals last season... I don't know where Hu Lai's limit is. , I don’t know if Leeds City’s opponent London Bridge can stop him from scoring goals in the next round. What I know is that a star is rising in the Premier League! He is the hero of Chinese football and Leeds City! Hero!”
The Leeds City fans in the stands were cheering and applauding Hulay, especially in front of Sean Barnett, which made them even more motivated.
Although Barnett also scored a goal in this game, his targeted celebration after scoring made him a clown in the eyes of all Leeds City fans.
Of course, if the North London Wanderers win this game, and if Leeds City does not have Hu Lai, then no matter how unhappy the Leeds City fans are, they can only endure it now and watch Sean Barney. Nate celebrated wildly in front of them.
Fortunately, Leeds City still has Hu Lai, who not only surpassed Sean Barnett in personal goals, these two goals also helped Leeds City win.
The Leeds City fans in the stands now feel particularly happy watching Barnett look disappointed and frustrated.
"Guys, I have a suggestion. I think we should seriously compose a song for Hu! Then sing it during the game to cheer him on and let him know that we stand with him!" David Miller looked at Hu Lai who was celebrating the victory with his teammates and suggested loudly.
"This is a good idea!"
"It should have been like this a long time ago!"
His proposal immediately received a positive response from other companions.
"When we return to Leeds, we will call everyone to the White Rose for a meeting, and then discuss this matter!" David Miller finally made the decision, and the matter was settled.
Then they continued to look at the Leeds City players celebrating their victory on the pitch, feeling unprecedented joy and satisfaction.
This is the Premier League, this is a team that is in the top six of the Premier League all year round, this is their home court...but we defeated them at their home court!
It’s hard to believe we can do this!

When the Leeds City players came out of the dressing room, got on the bus, and were about to return, they met Leeds City fans outside the stadium.
These fans who followed the team to the away game were obviously here specifically to wait for the team.
After seeing the Leeds City bus coming out, they stood on both sides of the road and cheered, waving their Leeds City scarves.
Many players in the car also waved to them.
Until the bus drove away, everyone could still vaguely see those Leeds City fans standing on the sidewalk waving to their bus when they turned around.
Pete Williams lamented: "I feel like the cracks from last season have really healed..."
Last season, Leeds City fans and the club were at loggerheads and were in a cold war for almost the entire season. The relationship between the two sides was once very tense. This naturally makes Peter Williams, who is both a Leeds City player and a Leeds City fan, very upset.
He was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
So during that time, he was wavering as to whether he should continue to stay in Leeds City - because he was both disappointed with the club and couldn't understand what the fans were doing.
He turned to look inside the bus again. He had just won the competition and the bus was very lively.
Some people were talking loudly about their wonderful performance in the game just now, some were wearing headphones and shaking their heads to the rhythm of the music, and some were playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, not knowing who they were chatting with, with smiles on their faces.
All Williams felt from the car were happy, relaxed emotions.
Although everyone would be like this after winning a game, he still noticed some subtle differences.
This team is...something is changing.
Hu Lai, who had just told Li Qingqing on WeChat that it was nothing serious when she was assaulted by Waterfield during the game, reassured her that when she looked up, she saw an obviously absent-minded Williams.
So he nudged the opponent with his elbow: "What are you doing? You're still so depressed after winning the game?"
"No." Williams shook his head and smiled, "I'm happy."
"You look so happy...you are so restrained." Hu Lai frowned and looked at him.
After hearing this, Williams said seriously: "I don't dare to be too happy, for fear of getting carried away."
"What's so complacent about this? There is no winning general in football. If you are not allowed to laugh after winning because you are worried about losing in the future, wouldn't that mean there is no time to be happy at all?" Hu Lai curled his lips. "If I remember correctly, we will play London Bridge in the next round, right? If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to be happy now, if you lose at London Bridge in the next round, won't there be no chance to be happy?"
Williams glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Peter, we have an old saying in China, 'To be happy in life, you must have all the joy.'" Hu Lai read out this line from Li Bai's poem in Chinese, and then switched to English and explained, "It means to work hard when you should be happy." Be happy, so you won’t regret it. It will be very helpful for you to listen to the ancient wisdom of your Chinese grandfather.”
"Hey, why 'Chinese Grandpa'?" Williams protested against Hu Lai's title.
"Because China has a longer history than the UK. Historically speaking, China is of course your grandfather. Do you think 'Chinese grandfather' refers to me? Don't be ridiculous, Peter, I won't take advantage of you! Has anyone ever seen someone pretending to be old just to take advantage? ”
Williams was speechless by Hu Lai. Seeing this, Hu Lai lowered his head with satisfaction and chatted with Brother Huan and Lao Wang on his mobile phone, enjoying the relaxing time after the victory.
When Williams saw Hu Lai looking so happy, his brows still didn't relax. He always felt that something was wrong...

"Park - Jun - Tae -!!!"
In the home broadcast at London Bridge, the DJ was shouting the name of the scorer.
In his shouts, Park Suntae ran to the London Bridge bench with open arms and hugged and celebrated with the London Bridge substitute players who came out.
The Korean reporters in the media box in the stands all cheered.
The real-time score was played on the big screen diagonally in front of them:
2:0
London Bridge, which plays at home, leads Abion.
Their compatriot Park Suntae's goal in the 80th minute almost sealed the victory and ended the suspense of the game in advance.
"Park Soon-tae, who has fully recovered from his injuries, finally showed his terrifying side!"
"Park Suntae's state really makes me look forward to the next round of meeting between him and Hu Lai!"
The Korean reporters in the media gallery started talking after cheering.
There is no suspense about London Bridge taking three points at home in this game.
What they are most looking forward to next is the away game against Leeds City at London Bridge.
It is also a direct competition between Park Soon Tae and Hu Rae.
For Korean reporters, this is a battle of revenge after the national team game.
The South Korean national team lost to the Chinese team in the top 12, which has always made Korean reporters worried. Especially the series of things that happened before the game, from the "unknown stories" that happened between Hu Lai and Park Soon-tae on the plane, to the Chinese fans collectively booing the Korean national anthem...anything can make China and South Korea The hatred in football goes one step further.
After losing the national team game, Korean reporters certainly hope that Park Soon-tae can defeat Hu Lai in the Premier League.
After all, as the only two Asian players playing in the Premier League, the competition between the two of them naturally has some meaning of competing for the top Asian brother.
Whoever wins can represent the whole of Asia! Whoever wins will be the most powerful player in Asia!
Korean reporters who think this way automatically ignore the fact that Hu Lai is now higher than Park Soon-tae in both the Premier League scorer list and the standings.
They acquiesced that it was now a duel between two people, and whoever could win this contest would be able to kill the opponent.
As long as Park Soon Tae can defeat Hu Lai, he can successfully defend his honor as the "Light of Asia"!
