Chapter 132: Encounter with the Wanderers in North London


If it is the fans who pay attention to the Premier League standings occasionally, when they suddenly remembered to take a look at the standings after five rounds of the Premier League, they will definitely be shocked by the latest rankings on the standings.
Number one is the defending champion Stan Park Rangers.
This is no problem. With the strength of the defending champions, it is only natural for them to be in this position.
But the next second place is not the powerful last season runner-up Manchester Athletic, but...Leeds!
A team that was not eligible for relegation until the penultimate round of the league last season, but in the new season is like a performance.
After the five rounds of the league, they had four wins and one loss, accumulating 12 points, only three points behind the Stan Park Rangers, who had five games and five victories, and ranked second.
Two points ahead of third place Manchester Athletic.
Leading London Bridge, Tramed, North London Wanderers and Warship Harbor are all four points.
This performance of Leeds City has surprised many people.
Before the start of the season, various celebrity experts failed to predict the sudden rise of Leeds in the new season.
As Leeds performed well in the league, their winning odds began to fall all the way.
From one loss of five thousand before the start of the season to one loss of three thousand later, it has now fallen to one to two thousand five.
But even so, this odds does not mean that Leeds City can win the championship.
In fact, let alone a loss of two thousand and five, even if it is a loss of one thousand, it means that Leeds is "completely impossible to win the championship."
Everyone was just surprised by the performance of Leeds City at the beginning of the new season, and they can even give praise.
But it doesn't mean they think Leeds will win the championship.
Those are two completely different concepts.
There are many teams that are ranked high 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. The tactics have changed and need to be re-adjusted and adapted.
On the other hand, there are many international football teams among the giants. They are relatively tired because of various national team competitions. 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, the Confederations Cup participated by champion teams from all continents served as a preview of the World Cup. It starts in mid-June and ends in early July.
At the beginning of July, all Premier League teams have started their own training and preparations, but the internationals of the giants have just finished the Confederations Cup and are still enjoying extra holidays.
Under such a comprehensive consideration, small teams are more likely to explode more energy in the early stages of the league, and it is reasonable to rank higher.
The league itself has 38 rounds, and it is not the explosive power that can determine the champion. In the end, the competition is the endurance of a team, that is, the thickness of the bench. In this regard, the rich teams that can rank three sets of lineups obviously have an advantage over the small teams.
Everyone felt incredible for Leeds City’s excellent performance at the beginning of the season, but they still believed 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, with the performance of Leeds City, they shouldn't have to wait until the league has two rounds left this season. Successful relegation..."
In everyone’s opinion, Leeds’ ability to relegation smoothly ahead of schedule is already a very good performance.
It seems to be to prove that everyone's judgment is correct.
In the sixth round of the league, Leeds lost 0:1 at home to ninth-ranked Boscombe.
The league's ranking dropped by one place, and a group of teams followed up in points, leading by only one point.
No one was surprised by Leeds's performance, and no one was dissatisfied.
It's a shame to lose to Boscombe at home, but considering Leeds City's current rankings, what are the dissatisfactions of Leeds fans and the media?
As the media said, the performance of Leeds City is enough for them to relegation.
Can be relegated, what bikes do you need?
Then Leeds City lost to the English Champions team by 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 was no surprise 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 this game.
They said that considering the team's relegation goals this season, abandoning unnecessary events can help the team focus all its energy into 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 Leeds City this season has changed drastically.
If it were last season, it’s really hard to imagine that Clark’s team would be understood and supported after losing two consecutive games...
At that time, maybe Lauren Gurry was moved out by the media to talk about the problems facing Leeds.
But now, no one of the media ran to find Lauren Gurry, who was at home at leisure.
In the final analysis, the performance of Leeds after the start of the season has made everyone more willing to give Tony Clark more patience.
In plain and easy-to-understand terms, Tony Clark now has the right to breathe.
Of course, if he continues to lose like this, not just the League Cup, but also more leagues, then all the power given to Tony Clark by the media and fans will be taken back.
Last season, Tony Clark led the team to succeed in two rounds of relegation ahead of schedule. It is worth making everyone have more patience and trust in him.

"I have lost two games in a row, and there is not much criticism from the outside world. This really surprised me..." In the coffee break room, Tony Clark expressed his disappointment to his coaching team.
"You want the media to scold you terribly, Tony?" Assistant coach Sam Landier was surprised.
"Because of that, maybe our next league opponents can relax their vigilance against us a little bit." Clark said.
Everyone knows who the next opponent he is referring to is.
Matt smiled next to him: "Tony, you think too much. No matter how the media criticizes us, the North London Rangers will not let us off easily. They still haven't forgotten who kicked their Champions League qualifications. Flying."
Clark actually knows this, but this is not because he is studying "The Art of War" recently. He always wants to show his enemy's weakness...
He tweeted: "Isn't Barnett kicking them into the Champions League? Speaking of which, will Barnett still start this game?"
Matt Dawn, who has only recently been promoted from a simple video analyst to a scout director, took out the summary report he received from the scout, and gave a very positive conclusion: "It will start. Barnett will play this 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 it was a sad scene of the final defeat last season, this did not affect the performance of Sean Barnett in the new season. He seems to have recovered from the defeat and the criticism from the fans.
"Um... Barnett has relatively comprehensive skills and can score and assist. It is really a bit of a hassle to defend. But this game I plan to attack the North London Rangers away. We score more goals with them than anyone else, or To be precise, we and them are better than the combination of Hu, Camara, Williams and the offensive lineup of the North London Rangers, who can score more goals." Clark lightly said a decision that sounded a little scary.
Whether it was Matt Dawn, assistant coach Sam Landier, or colleagues in other coaching staff, none of them were surprised by Clark's decision.
They and Clark have been cooperating for a season, and they have more or less figured out the temper and character of the coach.
Although Leeds' defensive performance this season has improved a lot from last season, he must still pursue offense in his mind.
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 exceed the expectations of the North London Rangers. They must have never thought that we would attack them at their home court!"
When Clark said this, he thought of an original sentence from The Art of War by Sun Tzu:
Attack its unpreparedness, surprise it!

"Dear we are now..."
The blonde slid from the side indiscriminately, put her arms around Sean Barnett who was sitting on the sofa looking at the phone, and whispered to him in a seductive tone.
But Barnett, who was entangled by her, pushed him aside impatiently: "Don't bother me, the day after tomorrow is the game!"
The blonde who was pushed away looked at Barnett in shock. For a while, she got up and put on the clothes she had just taken off. She was still chattering and complaining. There was no warmth and temptation just now: "Wow. Barnett! Are you despising me now? Are you bored with me?!"
Barnett asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't think I don't know, Barnett, you secretly contacted the little we saw in the bar that day behind my back! Why don't you dare to let me see your phone?"
"My fucking... I'm looking at our opponent's profile for the next game!" Barnett looked down at his phone, angry and funny.
"Don't be kidding, Barnett! You never studied your opponent's profile before a game. What are you pretending to be in front of me? Anyway, you are tired of me, right? Okay! I am tired of you too. Go! I'm leaving now, you go find that little bitch! She has black hair that fascinates you, doesn't she?"
The blonde said that she had put all her clothes on, then she picked up her messenger bag, put on high heels at the door, turned around and raised her to Barnett, opened the door and left.
Barnett watched his girlfriend disappear behind the door, UU reading www.uukanshu. com hasn't kept up with the rhythm, he spread out his hand with a look of inexplicable expression, and yelled at the closed door: "What the did you eat today? WTF!"
But instead of getting up to chase his girlfriend, he continued to pick up his mobile phone, his face solemnly continuing to study the relevant intelligence of his opponent in the next game.
Leeds City... his former club.
He will be ashamed in this game!
He wants to prove to the fans of the North London Rangers that he is definitely not a Leeds city undercover!
