Chapter 876 Championship Trophy
"...Just now, the Premier League this season finally ushered in the most critical moment - in the two games played this afternoon, Leeds City played first and defeated Boscombe 3:1 away. Stan Park The Rangers' game started later, but they were obviously out of shape and fell behind Manchester United by two goals in the first half. Although Stan Park Rangers pulled a goal back in the second half from captain Harry Bogard, it was still to no avail... In the end, the defending champion lost to Manchester Athletic 1:2 away from home. As a result, Stan Park Rangers was only one point ahead of Leeds City. Points...With three rounds left in the league, anything can happen!”
After Leeds City finally returned from away to Leeds, the game that the team's coaches had been concerned about finally came to fruition.
"Bogard actually scored a goal... Is this his second goal after returning from injury? This man... is really amazing!" Sam Randill saw this news. , noticing that Bogaard scored a face-saving goal for Stan Park Rangers, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, he is a terrible opponent..." Matt Dawn also rarely agreed with Randhir's opinion. "Let me put it mildly, luckily he was injured, otherwise we might not have such a chance..."
Hearing what Matt said, Randhir and the other coaches nodded in agreement.
Although this sounds unpleasant, it does make sense.
It can be said that the turning point in Stan Park Rangers' road to defending their title this season occurred when Harry Bogard was injured.
If Leeds City had simply defeated Stan Park Rangers away from home, it might not have had such a big impact on this team.
Given the strength of Park Rangers and their points lead at the time, they could only lose one or two points at most and would never let Leeds City catch up to this point. With Bogarde around, Stan Park Rangers have a backbone, and the more dangerous they are, the more stable they are.
"Harry Bogard is a respectable opponent, but Bogard is what makes him, Bogard is what he loses... He is so important to Stan Park Rangers that the team cannot even play a game without him. "He." Tony Clark said, "While he became the symbol and flag of Stan Park Rangers, he also put himself in a very difficult position..."
It was precisely because of Bogarde's serious injury that it disrupted Stan Park Rangers' next game plan and also dealt a heavy blow to Stan Park Rangers players.
It seems that without the captain, they can't play football.
Harry Bogard's position in this team is really important...
From being a fan of Stan Park Rangers from birth, to joining Stan Park Rangers and becoming a member of the echelon, and playing football until now, he has only played for Stan Park Rangers throughout his career. He is the flag and symbol of this team... ...Every player who enters Stan Park Rangers, no matter how famous and status they have before that, will be shorter than Harry Bogard.
For such a player, he has some troubles, and his impact on Stan Park Rangers is naturally self-evident.
It can even be said that when Bogaard sneezes, Stan Park Rangers catch a cold.
"That's the truth, Tony. But if it's the same without him and the team's results won't change, then how can he deserve so much praise?" Sam Randall expressed this question Dissent.
Clark nodded when he heard this and did not continue to say anything. He also admitted that Randhir was right.
As the core of the team, if he is absent, it will have no impact on the team. Indeed, he cannot be called the core.
And any team without its core will actually be unable to play.
Of course, everyone knows that you cannot rely on a certain person, so it is easy to fall into "someone's dependence".
But can you do it if you know it?
There are many truths in this world, and everyone actually knows them. But knowing these principles does not mean that you can live a good life without making mistakes.
After all, the truth is right and superior. There is no right or wrong in life, it must be grounded.
Everyone knows that there are some things that are right to do according to the truth, but how many people can actually do it?
It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I can’t do it.
Take relying on a certain core player as an example. We all know that this will cause the team to lose important combat capabilities when the core player is absent. But if there is no core, I am afraid that the team will be finished before the core is absent.
Leeds City are not without core players to rely on right now.
For example, on the front line, they are particularly dependent on Hulay's goals.
Hu Lai did not disappoint them. He scored 27 goals in the league, leading the league's scorer list. At the same time, these 27 goals also brought a lot of points to the team. It was the team that was able to cling to Stan Park. An important contributor to the Rangers.
Will relying so much on Hulay's goals cause the team's goals to drop sharply in the future when Hulay is absent or in poor condition?
Of course it is possible.
But can Clark refuse to let Hulay be the team's offensive core because of something that has not yet happened but may happen in the future?
Of course it's impossible.
It makes no sense to let the present pay for future possibilities.
Harry Bogard can become the core of the Stan Park Rangers' flag, which he has achieved through more than ten years of high-level performance and turning the tide again and again.
Otherwise, this core cannot be done by whomever the head coach tells him to do.
"There is only one point difference. We want to remind the players not to be happy and to stabilize their emotions. Don't think about this point difference and prepare honestly for the next round of opponents Abion. In particular, we must beware of those who are arrogant and underestimate the enemy within the team. Emotions, after all, Abien is not strong..." Finally, Clark made new arrangements for the next preparations.

"Why do we have to wait nine days for the next league round? I can't wait!"
In the locker room of the training base, Leeds City players were changing clothes and preparing to start a day of training.
They naturally talked about the "hot topic" in the dressing room now - Stan Park Rangers was defeated by Manchester Athletic at home in the game the day before yesterday. Although they are still in the lead, they are only one point ahead of Leeds City.
This point made the Leeds City players impatient and eager to start playing the next round of the league.
They want to overcome this one-point gap in the next round.
In the next round of the league, Leeds City will face Abion at home, defeating this opponent currently ranked fifteenth in the league. At the same time, they will sit back and watch the duel between Stan Park Rangers and Warship Harbor.
"Because we have to make way for the FA Cup final."
"Stan Park Rangers got ten days of respite like this. Alas, it's really unpleasant..."
"If we really win the league championship, will the club organize a celebration ceremony?"
"After winning the championship, I must tattoo the championship trophy on my calf! That is my first Premier League championship!"
Everyone was changing clothes in the locker room while excitedly exchanging their various hopes for the championship.
Charlie Potter came up and touched Hu Lai's shoulder: "Hu Lai, what are your plans after winning the championship?"
"Me?" Hu Lai raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling, thinking, then turned to look at Charlie. "I'm thinking that the Premier League championship trophy should... definitely not be allowed to be taken home and kept by me, right?"
Charlie Potter:? ? ?

"Hey, Lao Hu, tell me... where is the best place to put the Premier League championship trophy?"
Xie Lan stood at the door of his son's honor room, looking at the rows of glass cabinets and said.
Hu Lixin thought he heard wrongly, so he asked again: "What did you say?"
"The Premier League championship trophy, where should I put the trophy?"
"It's not good to put it anywhere!" Hu Lixin waved his hands repeatedly, "Do you think the Premier League championship trophy belongs to your family? You still want to put it at home? If you put it at home, what will Leeds City Club do?"
"Can't you just take it back and put it away temporarily?" Xie Lan felt aggrieved. "I'll just take a picture and post it on Moments..."
"No!" Hu Lixin put an end to his wife's unreliable idea.
"Then the Premier League doesn't give out a small trophy to every champion player? Just like the Chinese Super League, when Flash Star won the Chinese Super League championship, didn't every player have a small trophy? The one that is exactly the same as the championship trophy..." Xie Lan As she spoke, she pointed at the small trophy in the cabinet in front of her.
It's the little trophy she calls the Chinese Super League championship.
For the champion of the Chinese Super League, in addition to the club having a Shenlong Cup, every registered player in the first team will have both a championship gold medal and a smaller version of the Shenlong Cup.
It can be regarded as a souvenir for those championship players - if you can't get a large championship trophy, you can just give a mini version to put at home.
So Xie Lan thought that the Premier League is the first of the five major European leagues, with broadcast fees of more than one billion pounds every season. It has deep pockets, and if it spends some money to make a small trophy for each player, it should be just a drop in the bucket, right?
As a result, Hu Lixin simply shook his head: "No. The Premier League doesn't play this way, and all the players can get is a gold medal."
"This is too stingy..."
"It's not stingy or stingy. I want to ensure the dignity and sanctity of the championship trophy."
Xie Lan expressed her disdain for her husband's statement by curling her lips. Then she stood there, looking at the cabinets with her eyes rolling.
When Hu Lixin saw his wife's eyes rolling around, he knew that she must be planning something else, and he quickly said: "I'm telling you... don't use any crooked ideas... this is no joke! ”
Xie Lan rolled her eyes at him: "You are just using your brain!"
After speaking, she took out her mobile phone.
"What do you want to do?" Hu Lixin was still very nervous.
“Look online to see if anyone sells replicas of the Premier League trophy.”
"..." Hu Lixin's voice rose twice: "You still said you didn't use your brain!" (End of Chapter)
