Chapter 846 "Tough Guy Harry"
The fourth goal that Stan Park Rangers fans had been waiting for appeared, but it was not scored by their team, they were the one who was scored!
When the football flew into the goal, the boos in the stadium reached its climax.
But then the boos subsided like an ebbing tide.
The undefeated Stan Park was as quiet as a cemetery late at night.
The Stan Park stadium, which had been noisy for 83 minutes, was like a red-hot iron ingot being dropped into the ice water. It made a huge and ear-piercing roar and then quickly fell silent.
Only the people in the commentary box were shouting:
"Hu! Hu! Hu!!!"
"A goal worthy of being selected as one of the top ten goals in the Premier League this season! Whether it was Kamara who assisted or Hulay who shot, they both performed epic performances! They teamed up to contribute an unsolvable goal!"
"Leeds City took the lead for the first time in this game, and it was so fatal! The goal in the 83rd minute put Stan Park Rangers almost in despair - they only had ten minutes left to save the team's unbeaten home record. ! ”
"Look at the Leeds City coaching bench. Clark rushed onto the pitch like crazy, and then... slid to his knees! He was sliding to his knees to celebrate! But compared with the excited Leeds City players, he was not that out of the ordinary... Hu Zai After doing his signature celebration, he was overwhelmed by his teammates... They pushed Hu to the bottom! ”
"Hu Lai! His first hat-trick of the season was born like this! The opponent was the league's number one Stan Park Rangers! This hat-trick completed on the defending champion is full of gold! It fully shows that he specializes in elite players. Characteristics! ”
Xie Lan in front of the TV hugged her husband excitedly: "Hat trick, oh yeah!"
Seeing her so happy, Hu Lixin smiled and patted her back.

As the commentator said, the Leeds players were celebrating wildly.
And they have plenty of reasons to do so. This is the first time they have taken the lead in this game, and this lead also occurred in the 83rd minute - there is not much time left for Stan Park Rangers!
The Stan Park Rangers players who lost the ball were very frustrated and depressed, and all of them covered their faces.
So much so that no one noticed anything wrong immediately.
It wasn't until goalkeeper Lemos tried to pick up the football from the goal and kick it towards the center circle that he discovered that their captain Harry Bogard was still lying on the goal line, holding his knees with his hands, curled up like a shrimp. His eyes were closed tightly, his expression was very painful.
Lemos was stunned for a moment before he realized - the captain was injured!
He quickly raised his arms and shouted to the referee, his teammates, and the audience.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

When the assistant coach pushed team doctor John Lillis onto the field, he couldn't help but cursed when he returned to head coach Brooks: "Damn! I don't think the situation is good, Scott. We may have to make a substitution... …”
Brooks turned to look at him, shook his head and said: "Wait, wait, wait for the test results..."
"Don't fucking wait, Scott. That's Harry Bogard! Harry Bogard of 'Hard Man Harry'. If he could hold on a little longer, how could he collapse at this moment? ?" the assistant coach said to Brooks with a serious expression.
The latter seemed to suddenly come to his senses: "Hell... yes, you're right, Steve. Substitute, go and call Dixon back."
Brooks knew that his assistant coach was right. The fact that Bogard had not gotten up from the ground for so long was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem...
Harry Bogard, nicknamed "Tough Guy Harry", can see the characteristics of this player from this nickname. As a versatile midfielder, he is highly motivated, tenacious and never tires.
Once in a game, Bogard was hit on the forehead, bleeding, and half of his face was stained red. And he only went on the sidelines to debridement and stop the bleeding, then wrapped his head again and played, and even scored a header during the game.
When the blood soaked the white bandage again, he was still running and celebrating, roaring and roaring, which became a classic scene in the Premier League.
Yes, this is Bogarde.
He is a tough guy who never gives up.
Injuried?
As long as he was still breathing, how could he lie on the ground and howl like a sissy to win the sympathy of onlookers?
He will definitely struggle to get up from the ground and continue to fight until the end of the game.
Time and time again, he led by example and boosted the morale of his teammates.
When falling behind, his signature heavy artillery will always roar. While shooting the football into the enemy's goal, he also instills courage and confidence into his teammates.
Use all your strength and try every means to drag the team out of the quagmire.
At any time, he is definitely the leader you can trust with all your hopes and trust without reservation.
Over the past eight years, he has become a symbol not only of Stan Park Rangers but of English football.
How could such a person lie on the ground and not get up at the critical moment when the team was lagging behind?
Brooks stared blankly in the direction of his goal, with a very bad thought swirling in his mind:
In this game, we may lose more than just a record...

The television broadcast cut to the front of Stan Park Rangers, presenting this scene to the audience in front of the television.
"Ah... Bogard seems to be injured... This should be the injury he sustained while saving the ball..."
As Cox was talking, the director showed a slow-motion replay of Bogarde's save just now.
In the slowed down scene, everyone can clearly see Bogarde flying up and trying to hook the ball.
But because the football was too close to the goal post, this saving action meant that Bogard would be unable to avoid it.
He did it without hesitation.
It's a pity that although he took the risk of hitting the goalpost, he still failed to make a successful clearance.
In the end, the football flew into the goal, and his left knee hit the goal post...
"Oh my god..." Cox couldn't help but cover his mouth when he saw this scene, "This is a big hit! I'm afraid Bogarde will have a hard time staying in the game... Stan Park Rangers still has one left. They must make substitution adjustments... I hope the injury will not be too serious and will not affect subsequent games... The most important thing is that it will not affect the World Cup that opens in June..."
The fans at Stan Park also realized what was happening in front of the goal. Many people stared at the situation of captain Bogard with their eyes wide open and forgot to make any sound.
The stadium is getting quieter.

Bogaard, who recovered from the huge pain, first saw the team doctor John Lillis beside him, and then saw the stretcher coming behind him.
He immediately became angry: "Damn it! John! Who asked them to come up?!"
"You are injured, Harry, we need to carry you down for further examination..." Lillis, the club's team medical leader, explained.
"No, I don't need a stretcher!" Bogaard's face was livid, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or pain.
"But you can't move now, Harry..."
"Nonsense, I can move! Help me up, John. You can help me walk down..." Bogard propped up his body slightly, lowered his voice and said in Lilis' ear:
"I have never been taken off on a stretcher in my career. If I were on a stretcher today, do you know what would happen, John? Tomorrow there would be a picture of me on a stretcher in all the newspapers and on the Internet... Enemies They will use this photo to attack me and laugh at me. And my fans and teammates will lose confidence in me... So I can't be carried off on a stretcher, absolutely not! I am 'Tough Guy Harry'!"
Lillis looked at the stubborn man in front of him, and finally sighed and nodded: "Okay."
Then he turned around and waved to the stretcher team standing behind him: "No need for a stretcher, our captain is not that fragile yet."
The four volunteers responsible for carrying the stretcher looked at each other, with a hint of surprise and relief in their eyes. Without hesitation or argument, they immediately turned around and ran off the field carrying the empty stretcher.
Lillis leaned over and let Bogaard put his hands on his shoulders, and then carefully helped him up from the ground.
When he was about to turn around and walk off the field, Bogard stopped him, first took off the captain's armband from his arm and handed it to Johnson Law, the team's vice-captain who was watching, and then said to Lillis: "Let's get off the baseline, don't waste time, the game isn't over yet!"
The captain, until this moment, had only been thinking about the game.
Stan Park Rangers are currently trailing Leeds City with a score of 3:4 at their home court, and there is not much time left for them.
Seeing that Bogard was in so much pain, he still got up from the court and was helped off the court by the team doctor. Commentator Cox said with emotion: "This is 'tough guy' Harry Bogard! This is Stan Park Rangers A true leader! He was born in this city and grew up in this team... He has long become a symbol of football for this team, this city, and even this country!”
At the same time, thunderous applause erupted from the stands on all sides of the Stan Park Stadium.
The home team fans all gave their captain a standing ovation.
When the team just lost the ball and was behind, they needed the courage shown by Bogard even more.
Bogard also waved his fist to the fans in the stands, encouraging them to continue cheering for the team:
Rangers! never give up!

Tony Clark, who saw this scene on the sidelines, recovered from the joy after scoring. Instead of passing through assistant coach Sam Randall, he stood on the sidelines and made similar gestures to the players on the field. The "OK" gesture.
All Leeds City players who are familiar with the "Clark Tactical Manual" know that the boss wants them to shrink their defense and defend these three points...
Tighten the fence and prepare for the wildest Stan Park Rangers comebacks and struggles.
Hold on and make history.
If you can't hold on, you will become one of the ninety-one points in the legendary undefeated game in this stadium. (End of chapter)
