Chapter 888 This friend of mine
The red-topped stadium was filled with the shouts and songs of Tramed fans.
Tramed's fans cheered for their team with songs and also created pressure on the visiting team Leeds City.
This is even more exaggerated than the treatment Leeds received when they visited here last season.
After all, Leeds City was just a nobody at that time, and the hostility shown by Tramed fans during the game was not very strong. At most, it was just a few curses out of regional hatred. But in football, Tramed fans have never looked at Leeds City seriously.
But things will be different starting from this season.
At the beginning of the league, Leeds City defeated Tramed at their home court, which made Tramed fans very unhappy.
Nowadays, Leeds City is a team that competes with Stan Park Rangers for the league championship. Tramed can only maintain fourth place in the league, and he will be satisfied with qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The status of the two teams has quietly undergone earth-shaking changes.
The relegation team that Tramed fans looked down upon last season is already above them and is attacking their elusive league championship.
Not only that, they also have to step on Tramed's body to ascend to the throne in the red-top stadium...
How can Tramed fans who originally looked down on Leeds City tolerate this?
So this time, they booed and sang louder and more violently at the Leeds City players in the stands.
It could almost be called a real storm.
In such a storm, Tramed continued to attack Leeds City's goal from the beginning of the game.
The attack was so fierce that Leeds City, which is good at attacking, didn't even have a shot in the first fifteen minutes!
"Leeds City will be in danger if we continue playing like this..." Matthew Cox said with some worry.
But the Stan Park Rangers players and coaches in front of the television were delighted.
After the game against London Bridge, none of the Stan Park Rangers players left. Instead, he was in the locker room, watching the live game between Tramed and Leeds City on the big TV.
Members of the coaching staff watched the game with them.
Twenty minutes before the game, Stan Park Rangers players were in a very relaxed mood.
They wore simple clothes, or even no clothes at all, with their upper bodies and bare feet bare, sitting on chairs, on the floor, and on massage tables, watching the live broadcast of the game in various positions.
If you add some popcorn and ice-cold Coke, it will be like watching a wonderful movie.
So far, this "movie" is indeed wonderful for the Stan Park Rangers players.
In the live broadcast, Tramed midfielder Nick Vandelft forced a breakthrough in the middle and distributed the football to the right.
The right back Joseva Iglesias, who inserted in behind, received the pass from Vandelft and sent a cross without stopping the ball.
He didn't kick a high ball, but let the football roll sideways against the turf in front of Leeds City's goal!
This pass was very sneaky, because the defensive Leeds City players did not dare to make a move rashly, for fear that they would score an own goal.
They could only stick to Tramed forward Pap Bonnet in front of the goal, blocking his position and interfering closely to prevent Bonnet from shooting easily.
Bonnet was indeed restricted by Leeds City's approach. Although he ran to the goal, he was unable to take a shot, because if he took a shot, he would probably knock down Leeds City's center back Grist first... ...That was an offensive foul, and this offensive opportunity was wasted.
He could only watch the football pass in front of him!
However, the Leeds City fans did not feel relieved because the football did not leave the danger zone, it just rolled from the center of the goal to the back point!
The Leeds City players were not there, but Tramed's players were there!
"Balia——!"
With the commentator Matthew Cox yelling, the young Portuguese genius was seen riding the horse, adjusting his pace, turning sideways to face the football, swinging his right foot, and then... shooting directly!
Leeds City goalkeeper Van der Ven turned over and pounced back, but the football was rubbed to the back of him by Ricardo Barea, and just missed Van der Ven who pounced back!
The football turned an arc and flew into the goal!
"Oh oh oh oh oh!! Barea! Barea! Ricardo Barea!! He opened the scoring for Tramed! Only twenty minutes into the game, Leeds City suffered a heavy blow Attack! They fell behind in the away game! ”
Cox shouted, and the Stan Park Rangers players who had been sitting on the ground and reclining in their chairs jumped up and ran and jumped in the spacious dressing room, cheering and singing.
The coaches were a little more stable than the players, but they just didn't jump up and run.
They knew that Tramed's first goal meant that Leeds City had to chase two goals in a row to win the game.
The difficulty is further increased.
It seems that although Leeds City's performance this season is very good, there are many civilians who want to rise up. But at the end of the season, history will still follow the strong inertia, return to the right track, and set things right.
Stan Park Rangers will win the league title this season, albeit in a thrilling way.
But they will still be champions.
Of course, they will applaud this great opponent in Leeds City after winning the championship and sincerely express their respect. Their championship is even more precious precisely because they had such a great opponent in the process of winning it...
Some of the Stan Park Rangers players in the locker room, who had a lot of inner drama, were already thinking about how they would face the media reporters after winning the championship.

"Day! Still lost the ball!"
In the luxurious private room of the KTV, someone took the microphone and cursed loudly. His curses echoed through the speakers in the room. He was the most prominent one.
The others didn't have microphones, but that didn't stop them from scolding.
Everyone has been very nervous since the start of the game, so nervous that they forgot to drink.
Just staring at the TV screen, afraid that Tramed would score a goal just as he lowered his head to get the drink...
The result was this, and it still failed to prevent Leeds City from conceding the ball.
"Tramed's home field advantage is so obvious, every one of their players works hard..." Chu Yifan did not curse, but shook his head and sighed.
In fact, if you calm down and think about it, isn't it normal for Tramed to score a goal at his home court and lead Leeds City?
But everyone only thinks about the league championship at this time, so they are afraid of being scored by Tramed.
In the end, whatever you fear will come to you.
Leeds City still conceded the goal.

"Alas..." Lilith Raza sighed first, then turned to look at Li Qingqing beside her, seeing the latter sitting on the sofa with a stuffed doll in his arms. Although his expression was solemn, he was not as excited as she thought.
So she became a little curious: "Qingqing, you seem... not very worried about your friend?"
"You're worried, why aren't you worried?" Li Qingqing glanced at her and asked in surprise.
"But your expression is very calm..."
"Then what should I do? Throw the doll out of my hand?" Li Qingqing raised his hand half-jokingly and shook the doll.
Lilith pointed at her and said: "That's it. You can still joke after Leeds City lost the ball. This is enough to show that you are not very worried."
Li Qingqing seemed to be aware of the problem. She frowned and thought for a while and then said: "Maybe it's because... I believe in Hu Lai."
"Believe Hu?"
"Hmm. He's not the kind of person who gives up easily, Lilith."
"But he is now surrounded by Tramed's players and is almost separated from other Leeds City players." Lilith Raza pointed at the TV screen and said.
On the TV, the commentator of French TV was saying: "In this game, Leeds City's proud offensive firepower was completely suppressed by Tramed, especially Hu, the core figure of their offense, was trapped. This also led to the poor operation of Leeds City's offense... Under such circumstances, Kamara could only fight alone, and the connection between him and Hu was cut off - Tramed would not let him easily interact with Hu Come closer..."
He summarized the twenty-minute game just as he said. Hulay had almost no performance in this short game, as if he was completely submerged in the siege of Tramed's players.
However, Kamara became the most active point in Leeds City's offense. With Hulay being targeted, he took on most of Leeds City's offensive responsibilities.
"He has scored 29 goals in the Premier League. Is it normal for him to be focused on?" Li Qingqing asked Lilith in return.
"That's what I say..."
"He must know this, so I believe he won't just do nothing. Lilith, you don't know, this friend of mine... he often surprises people!"
Lilith turned her head and saw Li Qingqing's profile, looking at the TV screen. When talking about her friend, her expression was particularly serious, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Seeing this, Lilith looked away and smiled secretly. (End of chapter)
