Fox in the Penalty Area

"...sometimes, I actually admire Tony Clark's football because when the team is attacking, it's like quicksilver, and it's really beautiful. I know it's disgusting to talk about a successor like that...but Out of my love for Leeds City, I have to say that Tony Clarke chose the wrong team. If Leeds City is a team in the middle of the Premier League, I will support his football 100%, after all, it is also extremely It is a unique style of play, and it is pleasing to the eye. But the problem is that Leeds City is a relegation team. Under such circumstances, should the priority be given to stably scoring points and ensuring that we can stay in the Premier League first?"

On the TV screen, a gray-haired, elderly man was talking to the camera, and a line of subtitles was typed next to him:

Lauren Galley, former Leeds City manager

Then the screen switched, a middle-aged male host appeared in front of the camera, and said with a smile: "Recently, Lauren Gary, who is at home, accepted an interview with our station. In addition to sharing his leisure time at home with our reporter, In addition, he also talked about the prospect of Leeds City's relegation, which is currently the most concerned. In his words, he criticized Tony Clark's persistent tactics..."

Under the TV hanging from the ceiling, a group of people in the "White Rose" bar are sitting around and having a lively discussion.

"Guys, listen to me, listen to me!" a middle-aged man raised his tattooed arms and yelled loudly. "Just because we're back in the North Stand doesn't mean we're bowing down to the club. Quite the contrary." , this time going back is precisely to express our dissatisfaction to the club. Because we want to welcome Sean Barnett home with the warmest cheers. Those people's faces are even more unbearable!"

"Levin is right!" Another person stood up and echoed, "And we only returned to the stands for this game, not every game in the future. When this game is over, what should we do? Do it. Keep emptying the white stands and express our attitude to the club! How about it? Think about this suggestion seriously. We can make Barnett feel the warmth of coming home with applause and singing..."

"But isn't it rooting for our opponents? Sean Barnett he's not a Leeds player now, he's back in Flanders representing North London Wanderers, he's our enemy and he's come to beat us Yes. North London Wanderers are now competing for Champions League qualification, I don't think it will be a tender game." Someone objected.

"Of course, of course. We're just welcoming Barnett home, we're not going to give any applause or cheers to Londoners," the original man explained.

"And then? What about after we welcome Barnett? What are you going to do in the rest of the game? Are you dumbfounded in the stands?" The objectors continued to ask. "What are we going to do? Cheer on Leeds? Boo? Or... do nothing? But either way,

When I think about it with my head, I feel that this is really weird. I've been a fan for so many years, I'm afraid I haven't seen such a strange game... Sorry Levin, I'm not targeting you, I just really can't imagine the point of us returning to the North Stand under such circumstances. "

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his companions, Levin could only turn his attention to David Miller who was sitting in the lead: "David, tell me, what is your opinion?"

When he said this, everyone present turned their attention to David Miller.

Under the eyes of everyone, David did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.

The others didn't speak, just waiting patiently for their leader to make a decision.

Although they usually make jokes about David's troubled relationship with his son and tease him, when it comes to business, they are never ambiguous.

After about half a minute, David said: "'White Rose' is a whole. Although we have split several times in the past few months, this is even more important as a whole. So I will declare first , no matter what the final result is, I hope everyone will advance and retreat together. Don’t act as before without authorization, no matter what the reason is.”

What he said was very serious.

Everyone also nodded seriously and agreed: "Of course, we are a whole."

"Relax David. I support the final decision 100 percent, even if it's not what I wanted."

"Me too."

"same!"

...

After everyone expressed their opinions, David Miller slapped the table with his hands: "Let's go, welcome Sean Barnett back to Flanders. Then booed him in the thirteenth minute of the game." To express our displeasure to the capitalists on the podium. For this we need to produce some banners, not just welcoming Barnett home, but also demonstrating to the club."

As soon as David Miller said this, the two factions who were still at odds looked at each other and accepted it.

This is indeed a more appropriate approach, successfully resolving the contradictions between the two sides.

"agree!"

"I agree!"

"No comment!"

"Just do it!"

Everyone expressed their views again, and this matter was finalized.

"Well, everyone should get ready, it will take time to make banners." David Miller announced the end of the meeting.

The companions drank all the beer in their glasses, put down their glasses, got up and left.

Soon David Miller was alone at the tables.

Then he heard a voice behind him: "David, I've had a question for a long time, can you answer it for me?"

David Milan turned around and saw a thin old man with silver hair coming down the stairs.

Bar owner Leo White.

"Of course, old White. What's your question?"

The old man came downstairs, leaning on the bar, his chest heaving violently, as if all his strength would be exhausted in just a few steps.

After he took a breath, he looked at David Miller who turned to look at him and asked: "If... I mean if, if Leeds City succeeds in relegation in the end. You will continue to use the North Stand next season. Is it free?"

Facing the question raised by Old White, David Miller didn't know how to answer, and he remained silent.

"Or, in fact, you are secretly expecting the team to be relegated?" the boss asked again.

This time David Miller quickly made an excuse: "No, absolutely not. Old White, you can't guess us like that..."

"If the team is not relegated, how can you prove that you are right?" White didn't care about David's defense, but continued to ask.

This time, David Miller didn't make any more excuses. He opened his mouth and didn't make any sound.

In the end, under White's gaze, David Miller could only run away.

“…a number of Leeds City supporters groups have announced that they will return to the North Stand for Leeds’ home game against North London Wanderers. The move is understood to be to welcome Sean Barnett back to Flanders… "

Hu Lai listened to the news broadcast from the car radio, and said to Yong Jun: "This Sean Barnett has such a high status in the hearts of Leeds City fans..."

"Of course, he played a big role in Leeds City's success in the Super League. He scored 21 goals and 6 assists in the season of the Super League. He was voted by Leeds City fans that season The most popular player." Yong Jun said while driving. "Before Pete Williams, he was the most expected talent on the team."

Hu Lai nodded, not surprised by this.

A player who performs so well is still a talent cultivated by himself, and of course it is easier to win the love of local fans.

After all, with a local household registration book, the blood is more pure...

If outsiders want to earn the same respect, they need to make more efforts.

This is the general truth in any team.

After all, football clubs are essentially carriers of community culture and regional culture.

Breaking away from the community area is like a tree without water or roots. Regional identity is naturally one of the most important emotional bonds in the team.

He Hu Lai was able to gain the acceptance and love of the fans so quickly in the Flash Star. In addition to his good performance, it has a lot to do with him being Anton himself.

So Hu Lai didn't think there was anything wrong with Sean Barnett's treatment.

But Uncle Yong said: "However, I personally think that the actions of these fans are questionable. At the very least, what they do may make the players who are currently playing for Leeds City unhappy."

"Is it normal to welcome home a former meritorious player?"

Hu Lai didn't think there was any problem, because this incident is very common in the football world, and it has even been passed down as a good story.

"It would be normal if those fans hadn't vacated the North Stand before then. But they refused to go to the game and now they're back in the North Stand to welcome Sean Barnett. You think other Leeds players would What do you think?" Yong Jun asked back. "Do you think that those of us who are playing in Leeds City are not as good as a person who has left? Even if Sean Barnett has made great contributions to the team's breakthrough. But now in the team, Is there no one who has also contributed to the team's breakthrough?"

Hu Lai was stunned, this was indeed a question he hadn't considered before.

Sean Barnett walked out of the training ground and was surrounded by reporters: "Barnett, the North London Wanderers' opponent in the next round of the league is Leeds City. What do you think?"

The tall and straight Barnett smiled slightly: "I'm very happy. To be able to return to Flanders, to be honest, I can't wait."

"You played in Leeds for six years, and you already have a lot of friends there?"

"Yes, I still miss the time I played in Leeds City." The smile on Sean Barnett's face did not diminish.

"North London Wanderers are in an important phase of their Champions League qualification campaign and at the same time your old club are fighting to avoid relegation. Does that give you a dilemma?"

Barnett shook his head: "I am now a player for North London Rangers. Of course I will do my best for the current team. Of course, I will not celebrate after scoring a goal."

※※※

"...I don't celebrate after scoring goals."

Sean Barnett on TV said so with a smile on his face.

Someone in front of the TV sighed, and murmured: "There is no need to do this..."

David Miller wasn't paying attention to what was on the TV, he was asking his companions: "Are the banners ready?"

"It's done." Levin showed him.

One was to say hello to Sean Barnett: "Welcome home, Sean the Sheep!"

Another one pointed the finger at the club management: "He should have been our hero!"

"This second banner, we are going to hang it after Sean scores a goal." Levine introduced to David Miller.

While Sean Barnett has said he doesn't celebrate after scoring goals, fans will use that to bash the club's management.

Question those high-ranking officials: Such an excellent player originally belonged to Leeds City, but you betrayed him for 25 million pounds. Ask you now and you will not regret it!
