Chapter 239: That man

Inside the training base of the Stan Park Rangers, next to the first team training ground, there was a lot of crowds and excitement.
People who don’t know thought that today was the club’s open day, and there were so many ordinary fans and media reporters in the training base.
"You let so many people come in to watch the team training, don't you worry about affecting the players?" Assistant coach Stephen Brown asked head coach Scott Brooks.
Brooks shook his head and explained: "Today is also a recovery training anyway. It was originally a more relaxed training method, and there is no need to worry about leaks. The key is that the team needs such a'ritual'. The fans also need it. Both sides need to learn from it. confidence……"
Regarding that today is not an open day to the public, why are there such multimedia and fans watching the first team training outside the training ground, of course, because today is a special day.
When the players changed their clothes and came out of the locker room and ran to the training ground, the fans gathered outside the barbed wire wall cheered.
Amidst the cheers, the photographers pointed their camera lens at one of the players.
It is the team captain Harry Bernard!
Today is the day when Bernard, who was injured for more than two months, re-trained with the team.
This day is of great significance to today's Stan Park Rangers. The team's backbone is back and it is a good thing for everyone... whether it is players, fans or media reporters, it is a good thing to boost confidence.
With the team being chased by Leeds with only a four-point lead, confidence is really important.
"You're right, Scott. But I'm just worried... doing this now is to concentrate all the pressure on Harry. And he is a man with a meniscus removed, and he can bear so much. Are you under pressure?" Brown whispered, covering his mouth.
The reason to cover your mouth is to develop a habit in the presence of the media, to avoid people with ulterior motives to understand what he is saying by reading his lips.
He doesn't want what he said to be reported by the media, it is a big trouble for him and the team.
"I understand your concerns, Stephen. Do you think I came up with this idea?"
"Isn't it? Just like the ‘Corridor of Honor’ you did..."
Brooks smiled and shook his head: "Of course the ‘Corridor of Honor’ was my idea, but in fact, Harry took the initiative to propose this to me today, and it was his idea from beginning to end."
Brown was a little stunned, and then he cast his eyes on Harry Bernard, who had already stepped onto the court and was greeting the fans and the media on the sidelines.
He should be very clear about what state his body functions are in now.
But he also knows what kind of dangerous situation the current team is in.
So he chose to come forward and carry the banner of the team.
This is really in line with his style of doing things...
It can be said to be a kind of extreme to be able to achieve this kind of "captain".
"I hope his contribution is worth it..." Brown sighed.
"All of us hope so."
The two people just stood on the sidelines and cast their gazes over.
Under their gaze, the enthusiastic fans waved the banners in their hands and shouted to Harry Bernard who came up to communicate with them: "Harry! We need you! Harry! You will lead us to victory!"
Bernard reached out across the barbed wire wall to "high-five" the fans. He said:
"I will, guys. We will be champions, I promise you."
His answer was cheered by the fans:
"Wanderers! Never give up!!"
The shouts of hundreds of people at the same time echoed over the training ground, like rolling thunder from the horizon.

"Wanderers-never! No! Let go! Abandon!!!"
Stan Park Rangers fans are paying tribute to their captain with shouts resounding from the stand of Stan Park.
Just now, Harry Bernard, who had returned from injury, volleyed from outside the penalty area, and the football rushed into Abion's goal against the turf.
The deadlock was broken and the Stan Park Rangers took a 1-0 lead at home!
After scoring the goal, Harry Bernard rushed to the bottom of the Rangers stand, raised his hands and continuously waved upward.
Inciting a huge noise!
"This is Harry Bernard! The captain forever! The greatest captain in the history of the Stan Park Rangers! The symbol of English football! Be careful, opponents, the tough guy Harry is back!" The announcer is yelling.
Cox was also impressed by the fact that Harry Bernard could score a goal in the first game of his comeback: "Why do we say Harry Bernard is so important to the Stan Park Rangers? Look at this ball! Look! Look at this ball... When the team is in trouble, you can always set your sights on that man, and he will never let you down!
"In the sprint phase of the league, Bernard's return is the greatest benefit for the Rangers! If the Stan Park Rangers have stocks, then I believe that the news of Bernard's return from injury is enough to give them an index It’s up 10%! Look at the way he runs on the court, can you imagine this is a man who just had his meniscus removed? God..."
※※※
"The game is over! With Bernard's long-range shot after returning from injury, the Stan Park Rangers finally defeated Abyen at home 2:0. They took the lead in the championship game with Leeds, and now football is kicked. At the foot of Leeds..."
For the first time before the start of the game, it was not music that sounded in the dressing room of Leeds, but the voice of game commentators.
Everyone is watching the game that has just ended through the TV in the locker room.
At this moment, the locker room door was pushed open, and head coach Tony Clark walked in from the outside.
He also heard the commentary on the TV and the cheers from Stan Park.
So he glanced at the TV screen, then quickly retracted his gaze and looked at his players.
"It seems that you all already know what happened on the other court. The player whose meniscus had one leg removed, scored a goal in the first game of his return from injury and led the team to such a beautiful victory. ...It's amazing. Even as an opponent, I have to say, it's amazing." Clark slapped his hands, as if applauding Harry Bernard's performance.
"And this is the football I like-everyone is doing their best to give the best of themselves. Then...the championship is given to the best performing one. Now the Stan Park Rangers have given their answers , It’s our turn to do the questions. Go on the field, guys, give them a nice answer and pay tribute to the tough guy Harry!"
Clark slapped his hands hard.
In his applause, the players got up one after another, filed out from the open locker room door, and rushed to the stadium.

"How? I didn't miss anything, did I?"
Brooks pushed open the door of the room and asked.
The people in the room looked back at him, then turned to continue watching TV.
On the TV screen in front of them, live footage of another Premier League game is being played.
"No, you didn't miss anything. After more than 30 minutes, nothing happened." Assistant coach Stephen Brown said.
Scott Brooks went through all the procedures that should be followed after the game, including the press conference after the game, and did not leave with the team.
The players return to the training base by bus, where they will disband, and then drive back home to relax in their luxury cars.
Usually Brooks will follow the players back to the training base.
But today he did not do so, instead staying in Stan Park and watching the away game where Leeds City challenged Waldhampton with his coaching staff.
After the Stan Park Rangers won the game, the football was kicked to Leeds City. He wanted to see what Leeds City would do with the ball...
Waldhampton was originally only a mid-range Premier League team, but has performed well this season. After they defeated Holt 1-0 in the last round of the league, their league ranking has risen to fifth, temporarily qualifying for the Europa League next season. In order to keep this result, they will definitely do their best in their home court.
Therefore, the away game Leeds City is not easy to play.
It has been thirty-four minutes since the start of the game. It is evident that Leeds, which is known for offense, still failed to break through the opponent's goal.
After sitting down in the seat reserved for him, Brooks also watched the live game intently.
Commentator Cox just mentioned his team:
"In another game not long after the end, the Stan Park Rangers defeated Aborn 2-0 at home. Harry Bernard's return is very critical, it can be said that he held the team on the edge of the cliff. … Now the Stan Park Rangers Belize City has one more game temporarily, leading Leeds City by seven points. If Leeds City cannot win Waldhampton away, the situation will turn back to favor the Stan Park Rangers... …"
As I was talking, I saw that the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Leeds City put the offense into Waldhampton's penalty area...
"Look at this ball!" Matthew Cox had to interrupt his own long talk.
The coaches of the Stan Park Rangers in front of the TV also became nervous~EbookFREE.me~ I saw that on the screen, Williams of Leeds City stuffed the football straight in, and Camara had passed the football in the penalty area. After that, take advantage of the trend and move forward.
When approaching the bottom line, he sent a cross!
"Hu—"
Hu Lai in front of the door suddenly shot out from the side of Waldhampton's central defender, stretched out his foot and stabbed!
He stabbed the football into Waldhampton's goal!
Leeds City took a lead away!
"Good goal! Hu-Lai! He has scored in two consecutive games! The previous state seems to be back! When Leeds faced the pressure, he bravely stood up and scored a landmark goal. Let the team relax..."
Amidst Cox's cheers, the Stan Park Ranger coaches in the room looked at each other.
Brooks laughed self-deprecatingly: "Hey... It's a coincidence..."
