Chapter 873 Bad News


Chapter 873 Bad News

The Stan Park Rangers bus stopped at the entrance of the shuttle field. The Rangers players got off the bus one after another and walked towards the visiting team's locker room amid the cheers of the fans waiting there and the reporters' cameras.

But soon there was a murmur of cheers:

"Damn! Leeds City are ahead!"

"Hu scored!"

The noise inevitably reached the ears of Stan Park Rangers players.

They raised their heads and glanced in the direction of the fans and reporters, as if asking for confirmation.

At this moment, Harry Bogard shouted to his teammates: "Don't linger! Hurry into the locker room and change clothes! The preparation time left for us is limited! Let's go!"

He went up to pull his teammate David Conlon, who was slow on his feet, and pushed Bruno Martins forward next to him.

Finally, the Stan Park Rangers players were not allowed to gather at the entrance.

But Bogard still felt that his teammates should have heard those noises.

He frowned and walked to the locker room.

This also casts a shadow in my heart...

Isn’t it said that Boscombe is the home ground?

Didn't they say they were going to fight to avoid relegation?

Why did Leeds City score so early?

How many minutes has it been since the game started?

Bogarde walked into the corridor with his heart full of thoughts, unaware that his frowning expression had been captured by the cameras of the media reporters.

"The situation is not good..."

A reporter looked at the scene in his lens and sighed.

Behind the players came out the Stan Park Rangers coaching staff.

Assistant coach Stephen Brown was talking to head coach Scott Brooks. Both of them had their hands covering their mouths, so it was impossible to guess what they were saying by reading their lips. But you don't need this. Just look at the two people's frowns and you will know that it is probably related to the news that just came from another stadium.

Before the crucial battle between Stan Park Rangers and Manchester Athletic, I heard that Leeds City was leading. This was not a morale-boosting news for the Stan Park Rangers team...

"Hurry up and change your clothes and go out to warm up! Don't care about others... Remember, we are the leader. As long as we don't make mistakes, the other party will not win the championship even if they keep winning!"

In the visiting team's dressing room, Stan Park Rangers assistant coach Brown clapped his hands while keeping his players focused.

Under his urging, everyone changed their clothes and did not stay in the locker room. Instead, they ran out of the locker room - if it were normal, how could everyone change clothes so fast? You have to dawdle for a while, chat and make noise in the locker room, turn on the music and turn the locker room into a nightclub, talk and laugh loudly.

Today, none of them had such thoughts. Even without the assistant coach urging them, the players would not stay in the locker room.

Because that will make them unable to help but discuss Leeds City's away game against Boscombe.

Discussing this opponent that they couldn't see through.

※※※

After driving all the players out of the locker room, Brown also came to the court and led the players in pre-game warm-ups with other coaches.

During the warm-up, the players were very quiet, not whispering to each other or acting casually.

Everyone was focused on the warm-up and did not discuss the game between Leeds City and Boscombe. This certainly made assistant coach Brown feel relieved, but at the same time he was also a little worried.

After all, this is different from the usual pre-match warm-up of Stan Park Rangers players.

Rangers players used to warm themselves up by talking and laughing before games. This kind of talking and laughing was not about pride and underestimation of the enemy, but represented the confidence of the Premier League hegemon.

Brown can only hope that today's silence means the players are focused and nothing else...

He shouted loudly on the court to remind the players to concentrate on the warm-up training and had no time to think.

Everything seemed to be going well at first.

But not long after the warm-up training started, a burst of noise suddenly broke out in the stands of the shuttle field, the home stadium of Manchester Athletic.

The sound came very suddenly, and nothing worthy of making a loud noise happened on the court at that time.

Even the Manchester Athletic players who were warming up on the field were surprised. They raised their heads and cast confused glances into the stands.

The players of Stan Park Rangers were no exception, and they all cast their gazes.

Because the noise was sudden and loud, it was confusing, but it aroused everyone's curiosity and wanted to know what happened.

Assistant coach Brown also noticed the noise, and he scolded the players reflexively: "Don't pay attention! Warm up seriously!"

At this moment, in the stands closest to the players' warm-up area, Manchester Athletic fans shouted at the Stan Park Rangers players: "Hey! Hey! Hu scored again! Hu scored again! Leeds City already scored two goals Ahead of Boscom! Did you hear it?"

The shuttle field is a standard professional football field. The competition area and the audience area are very close to each other, with only an LED billboard separating them.

Some Stan Park Rangers players were doing laps to warm up in the courtside area near the stands. The fans in the front rows of the stands could be heard clearly by the warm-up players as long as they spoke a little louder.

Not to mention that these same people are now collectively shouting at Stan Park Rangers players.

That was heard by almost all Stan Park Rangers players.

And there is absolutely no chance of mishearing, because Manchester Athletic fans shouted more than once...

After hearing clearly what the Manchester Athletic fans were shouting, all Stan Park Rangers players' faces froze.

Hu Lai scored again?

This...

Initial surprise was followed by anger—what the hell! Is the home court of a relegated team so easy to play? Boscombe are fighting to avoid relegation! Why were you, Leeds City, able to score two goals in such a short period of time? !

I'm afraid it hasn't been twenty minutes since they heard the news about Leeds City's goal just now...

If this news is true, does it mean that Leeds City is already leading Boscombe 2:0 before the first half is over?

Who said relegation teams are hard to beat? !

Stephen Brown also heard what the fans were shouting. After the initial shock, he quickly reacted and shouted to the players: "Don't listen to them! They just want to interfere with us! That's fake news!"

He actually didn't know if it was false news, and he even felt deep down that it was most likely true news, but now he could only say this - only by insisting that it was false news could the players regain their attention. , to prevent them from having random thoughts.

But whether these Manchester Athletic fans are talking nonsense, I'm afraid everyone will know by the time the warm-up is over.

After all, back in the locker room, they have mobile phones and know how to surf the Internet, so they can find out immediately.

Thinking of this, Brown turned his attention to the sidelines, looking for head coach Brooks.

But he was surprised to find that Brooks was no longer there!

There is no him on the sidelines!

Although no one stipulates that the head coach must be present at all times when the team is warming up before a game.

But at this juncture, Brown had a bad premonition, feeling that Brooks' disappearance might be related to the news that the Manchester Athletic fans were shouting in the stands...

※※※

"Aha! Hu! He scored twice in eighteen minutes! Leeds City expanded their lead from one goal to two goals! The progress of this game really surprised many people! Everyone thought that Leeds City's away game against the relegation team Boscombe would be difficult, but now the first half is not over yet, and Leeds City is leading by two goals!"

Cox commented on the scene of Leeds City players celebrating their goals.

There is nothing to say about Hulay's second goal. Leeds City's mediocre attack hit the penalty area. After Lorenzo grabbed the ball with a header, Hulay, who was ambushing next to him, grabbed the second goal. A defensive player stretched out his foot and poked...the ball went in.

If he hadn't watched the slow-motion replay, he even thought for the first time that Boscombe's defensive players scored an own goal under Hulay's pressure.

Later, through multi-angle slow-motion replay, it was clear that it was Hu Lai who kicked the football into the goal before the opponent's defender.

Cox did not waste too much time on Hulay's goal itself, but focused all his commentary on the league title battle between Leeds City and Stan Park Rangers.

As a neutral commentator who is afraid of chaos in the world, he sat firmly on Leeds City's side from the beginning of the game, hoping that Leeds City can win, so that the competition for the league championship can become fierce. Get up and look good.

If you want to look good, don't you want the suspense to be maintained until the last moment?

He was pleased that Leeds City did not let up at the critical moment and still maintained the pressure on Stan Park Rangers.

Real-time points are also displayed in the live broadcast of the game.

Because the game between Stan Park Rangers and Manchester Athletic has not yet been played, their current points are still 88 points after the end of the last round.

With the current score, Leeds City has risen to 87 points with one more game, only one point less than Stan Park Rangers.

As long as Leeds City can maintain this score until the end, win against Boscombe, and take all three points... it will be equivalent to using all your strength to kick the football towards Stan Park Rangers who are just around the corner, and see what Rangers will do. catch!
