Fox in the Penalty Area

If you are a fan who only pays attention to the Premier League standings occasionally, then when they suddenly want to take a look at the standings after five rounds of the Premier League, they will definitely be shocked by the latest ranking on the standings.

No. 1 is the defending champion Stan Park Rangers.

This is no problem, with the strength of the defending champions, they are in this position for granted.

But the second place next is not last season's strong runner-up Manchester Athletic, but... Leeds City!

Last season, a team that was not eligible for relegation until the last penultimate round of the league, performed like chicken blood in the new season.

After five league rounds, they had four wins and one loss, accumulating 12 points, only three points behind the Stan Park Rangers, who had five wins in five games, and ranked second.

Two points ahead of third-placed Athletic Manchester.

Four points ahead of London Bridge, Trammed, North London Wanderers and Warshipport.

This performance of Leeds City surprised many people.

Before the start of those seasons, various famous experts failed to predict the sudden rise of Leeds City in the new season.

As Leeds performed well in the league, their odds of winning the title began to drop all the way.

From 5,000 to 1 before the start of the season to 3,000 to 1, now it has dropped to 2,500 to 1.

But even so, this odds does not mean that Leeds City will be able to win the championship.

In fact, not to mention two thousand and five per one, even one thousand per one, it means that Leeds City is "completely impossible to win the championship".

Everyone is just surprised by Leeds City's performance at the beginning of the new season, and they can even praise without hesitation.

But it doesn't mean they think Leeds City will win the championship.

Those are two completely different concepts.

There are many teams that will appear in the top position in the early stages of the league.

On the one hand, their lineup may be relatively stable, and most of the rich teams have introduced too many players in the summer transfer window, and their tactics have changed, requiring readjustment and adaptation.

On the other hand, there are many international players in the rich teams, because of various national team competitions, they are relatively tired. The absence of the team's pre-season training also prevented them from entering the league rhythm smoothly.

For example, before the start of this season, there will be the Confederations Cup in which champion teams from all continents will participate, as a preview of the World Cup. Start playing in mid-June and finish in early July.

At the beginning of July, all the Premier League teams have already started their own training and preparations, but the international footballers in the giant teams have just finished the Confederations Cup and are still enjoying extra holidays.

Under such comprehensive considerations, it is easier for small teams to explode with greater energy in the early stages of the league, and it is reasonable to rank higher.

The league itself has thirty-eight rounds, and it is not by relying on explosive power that the championship can be determined. In the end, the competition is the stamina of a team, that is, the thickness of the bench. In this regard, a giant team that can arrange three lineups obviously has an advantage over a small team.

Everyone was amazed by Leeds City's wonderful performance at the beginning of the season, but they still thought that they would eventually fall from this position and return to their normal level.

Some media commented on the fact that Leeds City is currently ranked second in the league: "Leeds City fans can rest assured that with the performance of Leeds City, they should not have to wait until there are two rounds left in the league. Successful relegation..."

In everyone's opinion, Leeds City's smooth relegation ahead of schedule is already a very good performance.

It seems to be to prove everyone's judgment is correct.

In the sixth round of the league, Leeds City lost 0:1 at home to Boscombe, who ranked ninth.

The league ranking dropped by one, and the points were also caught up by a group of teams, leading by only one point.

No one is surprised by Leeds City's performance, let alone dissatisfied.

It is a pity to lose to Boscomb at home, but considering Leeds City's current ranking, what are the fans and media of Leeds City not satisfied with?

As the media said, Leeds City's performance is enough for them to avoid relegation.

Can be relegated, what bike?

Next, Leeds City lost to the Championship team with a score of 1:2 in the League Cup.

In this game, Clark not only made extensive adjustments to the lineup, but also experimented with some new tactical ideas.

As a result, the team's performance on the field was not satisfactory, so it is not surprising that they were eliminated by the English Championship team in the third round of the League Cup.

The local media in Leeds still gave enough tolerance and understanding for the team's loss of the game.

They said that considering the team's relegation goal this season, giving up unnecessary matches can help the team concentrate on the league.

In this way, we may not have to wait until the end to succeed in relegation.

It has to be said that compared with last season, the public opinion living space of Tony Clark and the Leeds City team has really changed drastically this season.

If it was last season, it's really hard to imagine that Clark's team can still be understood and supported after losing two games in a row...

At that time, Lauren Gary might have been moved out by the media, talking about the problems facing Leeds City.

But now, none of the media went to find Lauren Gary, who was unemployed at home.

In the final analysis, Leeds City's performance after the start of the season makes everyone more willing to give Tony Clark more patience.

In layman's terms, Tony Clark now has the right to breathe.

Of course, if he continues to lose like this, not only losing the League Cup, but also more leagues, then all the power given to Tony Clark by the media and fans will be taken back together.

Last season, Tony Clark led the team to successfully relegation two rounds ahead of schedule, and it is worth giving everyone more patience and trust in him.

"We lost two games in a row, and the outside world didn't criticize us much. This really surprised me..." In the tea room, Tony Clark expressed his disappointment to his coaching staff.

"You want the media to beat you up, Tony?" assistant coach Sam Randyll was surprised.

"Because in that case, maybe our next league opponents can relax their vigilance against us a little bit." Clark said.

Everyone knows who his next opponent is.

Matt laughed beside him and said, "Tony, you think too much. No matter how much the media criticizes us, the North London Wanderers will not let us go easily. They still haven't forgotten who kicked them out of the Champions League qualification." Fly."

Clark actually knows this too, but isn't he studying "Sun Tzu's Art of War" recently, always thinking of showing the enemy his weakness...

He tutted: "Isn't Barnett the one who kicked them away from the Champions League qualification? Speaking of which, will Barnett still start this game?"

Matt Dawn, who had recently been promoted from a simple video analyst to a scouting director, took out the summary report he got from the scouts and gave a firm conclusion: "It will start. Barnett's season The state is still good, with two goals and two assists, he is an indispensable figure in the main lineup of the North London Rangers."

Although he experienced the terrible scene of final failure last season, it did not affect Sean Barnett's performance in the new season. He seems to have recovered from failure and criticism from fans.

"Well... Barnett's skills are relatively comprehensive. He can score and assist. It is indeed a bit troublesome to defend. But in this game, I plan to play against the North London Rangers in the away game. Whoever scores more goals between us and them, or To be precise, who can score more goals than the combination of Hu, Kamara, Williams and North London Rangers." Clarke said lightly, a decision that sounded a little scary.

Whether it was Matt Dunn, assistant coach Sam Randyll, or other coaching staff colleagues present, none of them were surprised by Clark's decision.

They have worked with Clark for a season, and they have somewhat figured out the temper and character of this head coach.

Although Leeds City's defensive performance this season has improved a lot compared to last season, he must still pursue offense in his heart.

After all, defense is a compromise for relegation, and offense is the genetic instinct flowing in his blood.

"We have this strength, and at the same time, we can definitely surprise the North London Wanderers. They must not have imagined that we will play against them at their home court!"

When Clark said these words, what he thought of was the original sentence in "The Art of War":

Attack the unprepared, take it by surprise!

"Honey we are now..."

The blond woman slid over without a trace, put her arms around Sean Barnett who was sitting on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone, and called him softly in a seductive tone.

But Barnett, who was entangled by her, pushed it aside impatiently: "Don't bother me, the game will be the day after tomorrow!"

The blonde girl who was pushed away looked at Barnett in astonishment, and after a while, she got up and put on the clothes she had just taken off one by one in anger, complaining endlessly, without the warmth and temptation just now: "Okay , Barnett! Are you despising me now? Are you tired of me?!"

Seeing this, Barnett asked in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't think I don't know, Barnett, you secretly contacted that little whore we met in the bar the other day behind my back! Why don't you let me see your phone?"

"Damn...I'm looking at our opponent's profile for the next game!" Barnett looked down at his phone, annoyed and funny.

"Stop kidding, Barnett! You've never studied your opponent's profile before a game. What are you putting on in front of me now? You're just bored with me, aren't you? Okay! I'm bored with you too I'm leaving now, and you go find that little whore! She has black hair that fascinates you, doesn't she?"

The blonde said that she had put all her clothes on, then she lifted her messenger bag, put on her high heels at the door, turned around and raised her middle finger at Barnett, opened the door and left.

Barnett watched his girlfriend disappear behind the door, and before he could keep up with the rhythm, he spread his hands with a bewildered expression, and yelled at the closed door: "What the hell did you eat wrong today?! WTF!"

But he didn't get up to chase his girlfriend back. Instead, he continued to pick up his mobile phone and continued to study the information about his opponent in the next match with a serious face.

Leeds City...his former club.

He wants to avenge his shame in this game!

He wants to prove to the North London Rangers fans that he is definitely not some damn Leeds City undercover agent!
