Chapter 836 King Kong’s Angry Eyes
Falek Quinn tackled the football but missed.
One foot beat him and knocked the football away.
It was Kamala in the yellow vest.
After he poked the football away, he made a move to pass the ball, but then used his right foot to slam the football into the penalty area!
The whole person just got in.
Ben Grist stepped up to intercept the ball.
Kamara's upper body shook rapidly, and at the same time he pulled the football to the left with his right foot.
Grist stepped sideways, trying hard to keep up with Kamara's rhythm, but he still missed a step, leaving Kamara with a gap.
Kamara opened the space and decisively shot with his left foot. The ball was drawn in an obvious arc by him, bypassing the sideways goalkeeper Van de Ven, and went into the net!
"It's so beautiful!" Matt Dawn couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the ball on the sidelines, and then he said to Tony Clark: "Kamara's condition in training recently is really good..."
"Yes." Clark nodded, "It seems that Kamala has found his target."
After that locker room criticism, some players did show a change and were more active in training. Just like Kamala.
But some people are still the same, or they are still confused.
"What about you, Tony? Have you figured out where you want to take this team?" Matt asked.
Clark shook his head: "No, I haven't thought about it yet. But at least one thing is clear - no matter what the future holds, we must pursue victory in this game."
"Even if it means going to Stan Park to challenge the Rangers?"
"That's right. Even if it's challenging the Rangers at Stan Park."
"Do you think we can win?"
"I don't know, but that doesn't stop me from setting my goal to win. I have to win every game. This is my goal."
"Ha, as expected of you, Tony." Matt laughed. "But you'd better not say this to the news media, otherwise the reporters will collectively go crazy, not knowing whether you are crazy or they are crazy."
Clark also laughed when he heard this.
Because he knew why Matt said that.
In fact, there is no need for media reporters to exclaim, he himself thinks his idea is a bit crazy.
It's not crazy to want to beat Stan Park Rangers.
What’s crazy is the idea of beating Rangers at Stan Park.
That's Stan Park!

Jamie Fielding stood in the tunnel with his head lowered. Behind and behind him were friends wearing Stan Park Rangers jerseys like himself.
They are the concierge caddies for this game and are responsible for entering the court with players from both teams.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to become a ball boy. Either you are the child of a player on the court, a child of a club staff, a young player from the club's echelon, a student in a local school or kindergarten...< br>
With so many children, everyone wants to be a concierge caddy. So being able to be a caddy for once is very enviable. Ordinary children will regard this as one of the memories they will treasure for a lifetime, because they can hold hands and interact with the stars who they usually only see on TV. If you are lucky or brave, you may even get the autograph of your favorite star.
It's just that Fielding doesn't feel that his caddy is such an enviable "job". He only feels embarrassed and embarrassed now...
The friends around him covered their mouths and shrugged their shoulders, obviously suppressing laughter.
And not only these little ball boys, but also the players of Stan Park Rangers on the opposite side also cast their eyes towards where he was, with a playful smile on the Leeds City player standing next to Fielding.
He was facing away from everyone, holding his chin with one hand, raising his head slightly, and looking at the photos on the wall intently. They don't look like visiting team players coming to the game, but like tourists who buy tickets to visit the stadium on non-match days...
Pete Williams saw that this was already the fifth photo that Hulay had carefully observed, so he leaned over and whispered: "Hector Ingram. Played for Stan Park Rangers from 1992 to 2000, central defender, captain . Stan Park Rangers fans call him 'The Rock', meaning Ingram is in the backline As indestructible as a rock...these photos hanging on the wall are all players who have played at Stan Park Rangers, and only retired legendary players who have left a very glorious resume in the club's history are eligible to appear Here. So this passage is also called the 'Corridor of Honor'..."
Hu Lai turned to look at Williams and said to him sincerely: "Thank you for your careful explanation, Peter. But I know who this person is and the origin of this passage."
"Looking at you like this, I thought you didn't know..."
"Of course I know. The 'Corridor of Honor' at Stan Park Stadium is not an unknown place. How about being famous? Who doesn't know this?"
"Then why are you looking so carefully, just like a tourist? Didn't you notice other people looking at you?" Williams said in a low voice, while using his eyes to indicate to Hu Lai Stan behind them. Park Rangers players.
Obviously, Hulay's move fell into the eyes of the Stan Park Rangers players, and it seemed to have a different meaning - a complete country bumpkin came to town.
"Because although I have heard of it, this is the first time I have walked into Stan Park Stadium." Hu Lai didn't care what the people behind him looked at him. He said to Williams, "Pete, have you noticed? These appear in the Honors The Rangers players in the corridor all have very ferocious expressions, either opening their mouths and roaring, or staring out of the screen with their eyes wide open... This is actually quite strange.”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked towards the Stan Park Rangers players. Looking from them, the people in the photos hanging on the wall over there were also in the same posture. As for those meaningful glances, he completely ignored them.
"Do you know what these expressions remind me of?"
Williams asked: "What came to mind?"
"Thinking of our Buddhist temples in China. Most of the statues there have such ferocious looks. Everyone who goes in to worship Buddha can just look up and see those Vajra warriors, as if they are glaring at themselves..." Hu Lai explained. "I think they are somewhat similar... so I'm quite curious. You know, the statues of gods that appear in your churches basically have kind faces, smiling and looking at believers with pity... I remember correctly. If so, it seems like these portraits were hung on the wall after Brooks became the head coach of Stan Park Rangers, right?”
Williams nodded: "Yes, it was Scott Brooks' idea."
Unlike Tramed's tradition of engraving the names of legendary players in the club's history on the outer wall of the red-roofed stadium, Stan Park Rangers' choice to have these famous players appear on the walls of the players' tunnel is a "new tradition." ”:
Before Scott Brooks arrived at Stan Park Rangers five years ago, the tunnel at Stan Park was the same as any other stadium, with nothing but their club's name and crest on the smooth walls. None.
When Brooks took charge of the team, his request included choosing photos of legendary players in the club's history to hang on the walls on both sides of the tunnel.
He explained that this was to allow the Stan Park Rangers players to walk onto the court under the watchful eyes of their seniors every time they played a home game. This could convey a spirit to them and make them deeply aware of themselves. Responsibility on the body, full of fighting spirit, and fighting bravely in the game.
As for why he chose photos of players with exaggerated and fierce expressions, Brooks explained that only in this way can the Stan Park Rangers players fully feel the power from their seniors.
Hu Lai looked up at the ferocious-looking legends of Stan Park Rangers and said: "The Vajra and Bodhisattva sculptures in Buddhist temples are often menacing, especially from the perspective of us humans. Buddhism promotes its compassion. , but why do you have to show such a ferocious expression? It is to deter those evil spirits with evil intentions. After all, I am a compassionate Buddha, but I also have angry eyes..."
Williams frowned as he listened. He was confused by Hu Lai's words. After all, he didn't know much about distant Eastern religions and could not imagine the scenes Hu Lai said.
Jamie Fielding next to them was even more confused. Hu Lai and Williams used English when communicating. He could basically understand the meaning of these English words, but after putting them together, He couldn't understand it at all.
He was just thinking: What are the two of them doing? This is before a Premier League game. Does what they said have anything to do with the game? You two are facing the first team in our Premier League, the defending champion, and you still have the heart to chat here?
Hey, please be more serious!
Thinking of this, Jamie Fielding glared at Hu Lai, the instigator, with resentment and anger.
Hu Lai didn't feel the eyes of the children around him at all. He still said to Williams as if no one was watching: "Peter, do you think these people are like the vajra bodhisattvas in the temple I just mentioned, and we are the evil spirits with evil intentions?" , will be suppressed by them.”
Williams finally understood what Hu Lai meant, but he did not agree with this statement. He frowned: "You have a bit of imagination, Hu Lai. I think this is just to show the glorious past of Stan Park Rangers. After all, They are a traditional wealthy family.”
"Ha, you don't believe it?" Hu Lai raised his finger and pointed at the retired legends of Stan Park Rangers. "Look, they were deliberately hung high so that when we see them, we have to raise our heads. But the strange thing is Yes, when we look up, we don’t notice any deformation of the characters in the photo due to their near size and far size... Moreover, it just creates a sense that we are looking at them and they are looking at us. relationship.”
Pete Williams looked up at the nearest photo and found that it was actually like this. Obviously when I stood very close, I should have seen the deformation of the characters in the photo, but now it looks like they are from a normal perspective...
"This is not the first time I have come to Stan Park Stadium, but it is the first time I have noticed this phenomenon." He exclaimed.
"So you see, Peter. Otherwise, Stan Park Rangers can create the longest home unbeaten record in the history of the Premier League? Because they have these angry kings at home." Hu Lai shook his head slightly. "Scott Brooks is really amazing, even taking such details into consideration..."
"If the portrait looks at us, we can behave badly? Isn't this too mysterious?"
"This is a psychological suggestion, Peter. Psychological suggestions are often not so direct, but as long as it can slightly affect your heart, it is considered to have worked."
Williams shook his head: "It's still hard for me to believe..."
Hu Lai smiled slightly: "Then let me tell you another piece of evidence. It is said that Scott Brooks is a Buddhist?"
Williams was stunned. It was no secret that Brooks believed in Buddhism. After all, he was a well-known Buddhist in Western sports circles. The news media had reported it and everyone knew it.
Seeing him like this, Hu Lai knew that he didn't need to say anything. He continued to look up at the legendary Stan Park Rangers players who looked like "Glowing King Kong".

Aerial footage of the Stan Park Stadium appeared on live television. Viewed from the air, outside the green field, under the white roof, the stands were full and packed with Stan Park Rangers fans wearing red jerseys.
The roar of the crowd came from the stadium, rising upwards, and even the cameras in the air could hear the shouts from the stadium.
The voice of the commentator Cox rang along with this scene. He had to work hard to raise his voice to prevent his voice from being drowned out by the huge noise at the scene: "Welcome to Stan Park! In this stadium, parade The players have been undefeated for 90 games! The voices of these fanatical Rangers fans can almost become physical before our eyes! This is Stan Park, the most terrifying stadium in the Premier League!”
