Fox in the Penalty Area

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Fox in the restricted zone!

The "White Rose" bar is still lively even on home game day.

But before this season, this was not the case here.

This neighborhood is the home base of the "White Rose", one of the most die-hard fan organizations of the Leeds City football team. Almost every Leeds City fan here has been a season ticket holder for many years.

Whenever the team plays at home, they go to the stands of the Flanders Stadium to watch the game and cheer for their team. Enjoy the joy of fighting side by side with the team, and also endure the bitterness of failure with the team.

Within three hours before and after the game, the bar business was relatively average, because everyone went to the scene and no one came to drink in the bar.

But at that time, the bartenders probably didn't want the business to be too good, because that would disturb them watching the game live on the pay TV in the bar.

After the game is over, the bar will come back to life and become lively.

After winning the ball, the fans returned to their blocks and celebrated the victory with beer in the "White Rose" bar.

If they lose the game, they will drank their sorrows in the bar, scold their mothers and vent their emotions.

They named their fan organization "White Rose" because of this bar they love.

This is like their base camp, base, haven, home.

Either joy or pain can be shared here, or resolved.

But from the beginning of this season, even at home games, the place was overcrowded. Everyone crowded in a small bar to cheer for the team through TV.

So when John said that this way of watching the ball seemed indifferent to the team, they couldn't bear it.

Are we not supporting the team like this?

We supported the team and slapped the club management in this way!

We are in the bar like in the stands, cheering, singing, and rhythmic cheers for every beautiful performance of the team.

It's just a change of place, but our love for the team has never faded!

"White Rose" fans have always said this to themselves.

They treat each game with the strongest enthusiasm, even if it is watching the ball in the bar.

But the atmosphere today is a little weird.

Someone looked around and whispered, "John really didn't come... and not only did Stone and Eric didn't come..."

"Old Qiao said that something happened to his house and he couldn't come...but I think he also went to the scene to watch the game almost all the time..."

"Damn, these traitors!"

"We have been insisting on it for half a year. Seeing victory is right in front of us, we have all become deserters. It is shameful!"

The people who stayed in the bar to watch the game were filled with outrage and cursed their companions.

"If I want to say it, I blame John. After he said that, many people must be moved in their hearts..." The person who said this also looked at other companions.

But his eyes drew other people's dissatisfaction: "Hey, Harry, what do you think I do? I don't have a ghost in my heart!"

"Since there is no ghost, what are you shouting, Jamie?"

The two people are about to quarrel.

David Miller quickly separated them: "Okay! Okay! We are obviously fighting against the capitalists, but why did we start fighting first? Don't be so ugly!"

When he came out to talk, the two people who were arguing no longer said anything, but it was clear that they still looked at each other uncomfortably, and they were far apart, and they didn't want to look at each other more.

David Miller also knew that two people couldn't reconcile just because of his own words.

Once a rift appears, it cannot disappear. The best result is to maintain the rift from expanding...

He sighed in his heart-why did it happen like this?

He cast his eyes on the TV screen.

There really seem to be more people in the stands of the Flanders Stadium today than usual...

"Just two consecutive victories, they forget how unreliable Clark is?"

Apparently there are people like David Miller who noticed the increase in the number of people in the stands and sneered at those who betrayed them.

"Hey, Clark hasn't led the team to win two consecutive victories before this!" A hoarse voice said beside him, but his accent couldn't tell whether he was taunting Clark or the person who just spoke.

Jug Hodge sits on the podium with the club’s general manager Eric Duffy and two directors-commercial director Harry Bradley and football director Nevin Ball.

There is a new row of new LOGO on the roof eaves of the stand facing the four of them, which is the trademark of a Chinese company.

After the Hulai League debut and scored the first goal, the club and the company quickly signed an advertising sponsorship contract.

The company has obtained three years of advertising space on the ceiling of the East Stand of the Flemish Stadium at a price of £500,000 per year.

When Bradley saw the Chinese corporate trademark LOGO spread over the eaves of the roof, he remembered what Tony Clark had said to him.

Said that he would regret signing the contract with the other party too early because they could also sell for a higher price.

He admitted that Tony was right, but he still signed it and didn't regret it.

Because this is a test of water, through this sponsorship to test the fans' acceptance of the introduction of Chinese brands, and at the same time show their advertising effects to more Chinese companies.

This is the first appearance of the sponsor's brand on the roof of the grandstand.

If the effect is good, then more Chinese companies will flock in after that, and someone will grab them even if they sell at a higher price.

Of course, the premise is that Hu Lai must be able to perform well in the home game, to have enough brilliant performance, it is best to have a goal, so that it can be regarded as a hot spot and attract everyone's attention.

Advertising effect can be maximized.

Now it is no longer necessary for him to go to Clark, who has automatically put Hu Lai on the starting list of today's game.

The first two games were off the bench and scored three goals. This kind of performance should be a starter.

He now expects Hu Lai to have a brilliant performance in his first Premier League start, scoring a goal or something...

If Hu Lai can score a goal, he will go to the William Daley Company, which is responsible for the broadcast of LED billboards on the sidelines of the Premier League, and talk about the division of LED billboards on the sidelines again.

The current Leeds City’s influence in the remote and huge Chinese market is no worse than the old Premier League giants such as London Bridge, Tramed, Manchester Athletic, and Stanley Park Rangers. He has enough confidence to go to William Daley. Talk about the proportion of sideline advertising at the beginning of next season.

John stood on the north stand and looked around.

This should be the most lively area, full of venues.

Now there is a large area vacated, like a dog with a skin disease, and it looks uncomfortable at first glance.

But John knew that this was much better than before. At first it was really like a piece of white paper, there was nothing, no figure.

Those are the same as him, in order to protest the club's sale of Sean Barnett, fired Lauren Gurry, and the fans who watched the game specially vacated it, embarrassing the club.

Later, as the league progressed, some fans gradually returned to the stands, but there were still not many people.

There are far more people here today than he thought...

Just as John stared at the empty seat beside him, a hesitant voice sounded behind him.

"Uncle John?"

John looked back and saw Matthew Taylor, who was a little surprised, and Andrew Thurman next to him.

"Aha, little Matthew, it's you!" John looked very happy.

"Uncle John, why are you here?" As the son of David Miller and the common pride of the "White Rose" fan organization, Matthew Miller and everyone in this fan organization are familiar with it, and naturally recognize this The middle-aged man who fell down, John Falkingham, he called him "Uncle John".

In addition, there are many uncles in this fan organization.

These uncles have a very good relationship with him, it can be said that they grew up watching themselves.

Until the beginning of this season, they collectively withdrew from the North Stand and broke with them.

"You asked, little Matthew. Let's watch the game."

Uncle John didn't answer him, but a new voice came from behind him.

Matthew Miller looked back and saw Uncle Stone, Uncle Eric, and Uncle Joe. He was even more surprised: "Uncle Stone, Uncle Eric, Uncle Joe... are you here too? "

"Why? Can't we come?" Stone, who arrived later, held two disposable plastic cups filled with beer, and he handed one of them to John.

"No, no..." Matthew waved his hand. "You are not..."

John, who took the beer, took a sip first, and then wiped the drops of water from his beard with the back of his hand: "I still prefer to come to the North Stand to watch the football. It is closer to the goal and I can see our goal more clearly."

"So are we." The three uncles said to Matthew, and then Eric added, "But your father didn't come."

Hearing these words, Matthew's expression went dark.

Seeing this, John patted his shoulder gently: "Don't worry, little Matthew. Your father will be back sooner or later. He loves Leeds more than anyone else."

"Thank you Uncle John." Matthew Miller smiled forcefully.

"Come on! Let's get ready to cheer the players!" Stone yelled from the side.

At the same time, the DJ's voice came from the live broadcast: "Ladies and gentlemen, the players from both sides will play next. Glamorgan from Cardiff! Welcome to Flanders!"

The Leeds City fans around the stands looked at the stadium with arms around their chests coldly, and did not respond to DJ's words.

John Falkingham took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Ah, what a nostalgic air... Yes, this is the right way to watch the game!"

When the surrounding companions heard him say this, they all laughed.

Matthew and Andrew looked at each other and laughed.

Yes, this is the correct way they watched the ball countless times before.

The Leeds City fans reacted coldly to the guest Glamorgan, which is considered polite, after all, they have not booed yet.

DJ naturally knew this, so when he introduced Glamorgan, his tone was very flat, even a little deliberately listless.

When it was his turn to introduce the Leeds City players, his voice was octaves higher, and his passion became: "Now we are our main goalkeeper Mikai——!"

The Leeds City fans in the stands chanted: "Van Derwin!!!"

Accompanied by such roars, a photo of Mikhail Vandevin appeared on the big screen.

The Leeds City players who started the game were called out one by one.

Matthew Miller and Andrew Thurman, along with Uncle John, also chanted in the North Stand, just like before.

Except that the surrounding stands are slightly empty, nothing has changed.

When yelling to Williams, Andrew yelled very loudly next to Matthew.

Not only Andrew, but the cheers in the stands of the stadium were loud.

After Sean Barnett left the team, Pete Williams was the pride and treasure of all Leeds City fans.

He has played well in the last two games and everyone is happy for him to see him get rid of the downturn.

Captain Lorenzo Esposito also received a warm shout.

The last name reported was Hu Lai.

He started for the first time in this game, and for the first time enjoyed such a treatment in Leeds.

"The last one, the striker from China, LAI—"

"HUU!!!"

The fans in the stands shouted Hu Lai's last name.

Inside, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Matthew shouted loudest.

A photo of Hu Lai appeared on the big screen at the same time, with his name, location and number next to the photo.

Leeds City’s No. 14 player, forward.

Wang Haoxi looked at the picture of Hu Lai on the big screen and grinned.

He remembered that when he and his roommate went to the Hulai joining ceremony, on this stadium, almost all the people who came to welcome him were Chinese students, and there were not many local fans in Leeds.

Now there are so many people who can call out his name at the same time.

Only two games were used.

But it's not enough. One day, you will let everyone in this stadium shout your name out loud and become the hero of this city!

Wang Haoxi firmly believes in this.

Because he is Hu Lai, the hope of all of us!
