After Viduka scored this goal, the Arsenal players seemed to be discouraged for a moment.

After all, for them, even a draw is unacceptable.

And want to score two goals in a few minutes of stoppage time to turn the defeat into a victory?

Just look at how many times the Camp Nou miracle has happened in the history of football and you will know that the probability is about the same as winning the jackpot in the welfare lottery.

As a result, there were no changes in the game in the end. Leeds United defeated Arsenal 3-2 away from home and did not repeat the mistakes of two years ago.

After the game, Arsenal fans left the field one after another. In fact, some fans had already left the field early when Viduka scored. They really didn't want to see their opponents stepping on them on their own territory.

corpse celebration.

But all the Leeds United fans stayed.

Watching the red in Highbury slowly recede, leaving only the white in the visiting team's stand, Levi suddenly remembered that nonsensical metaphor again.

This scene is like the white pot finally defeating the red pot.

Unfortunately, this is also very rare in the hot pot world.

The Leeds United players all walked towards the visiting team stands, headed by three meritorious veterans, Mateo, Radebe and Gary Kelly. Behind them were Kewell, Viduka, Robinson and Wilcox.

kes...

Although West Ham United also won this round of the league, everyone knows that Leeds United's relegation is already a certainty. In theory, they only need to get one point in the last round, but in fact, even if they don't get a point

, they are also very likely to suppress West Ham United with their goal difference advantage, of course, provided that West Ham United defeats Birmingham in the last round.

Although this season's results are extremely poor compared to previous years, after such a soul-stirring victory, they can finally stand upright in front of the fans.

All the players stood in a row on the court, holding hands, bowing deeply toward the away team fans' stands.

In fact, no one can blame them. The core players of the team were sold one after another, the club was saddled with tens of millions of debts, the meritorious coach was fired before the season, and the coach was changed again midway. There were even cases where wages could not be paid at any time.

Risk.

When people are in panic, you can't expect them to do more. They are just making money to support their families...

At this time, the fans will no longer criticize them harshly, even if they have angrily cursed the incompetence of certain players in this row. But after such a game, they will only lay flowers for the heroes on the court.

, applause, and tears.

Levi clearly saw that Alan Smith's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said a few words from his mouth: "Money, damn, it's not a thing!"

Levi also saw that Andy Gray had dull eyes and murmured in the crowd: "If only I had the money to buy Leeds United..."

Levi also saw Boss John waving the scarf in his hand tremblingly, even though it was so old that the color could not be seen.

There is also Lennon who is jumping for joy and Fraser who is roaring...

Levi suddenly felt very sad, for this team, for these players, and for such a group of fans who never give up.

He has a very dark impulse and wants to tell them that you will be relegated next season, and you will be far away from this glamorous stage, and you will not be able to come back for a long, long time.

But he finally endured it.

Because he knows that these guys don't really care. When the day comes, they will angrily scold the team until they are bloody, and then, in the British Championship, in the English League, at the most critical time, they will continue to

Accompany it

Such a team, such fans, sooner or later, they will return to this top stage, no matter how long the road is.

Levi was so convinced for the first time.

※※※※※※

This crazy victory seemed to bring the long-lost rain to the people of Leeds City, dispelling the shadow of relegation that had been lingering in their hearts, and everyone seemed to be relaxed.

On the campus of the University of Leeds, Gu Xiaohan, who was originally out of reach of Leeds United, seemed to be affected by this game.

Of course, Gu Xiaohan didn't know what was happening at this time. However, as she walked on campus, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be more laughter.

The University of Leeds is located in the center of Leeds, and the Yorkshire Dales where Leeds is located is the geographical center of England. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the University of Leeds is the center of the center of England.

This century-old institution is one of the six famous red brick universities in the UK, second only to the prestigious Golden Triangle schools led by Oxford and Cambridge. Its business school and media school are both world-renowned.

As for the literary college where Gu Xiaohan is located, it is not very outstanding, but it is famous because of an outstanding alumnus - John Ronald Reel Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings", the man who created

A great writer in the magnificent world of Middle-earth, he once served as a professor of English linguistics here.

However, to the Chinese, perhaps another Leeds University alumnus is more well-known - Leslie Cheung once studied textiles and clothing at the University of Leeds, which is the same as his father - Hong Kong's famous suit tailor Zhang Huohai

It's not unrelated, but in the end, he did not choose to inherit his father's legacy.

Gu Xiaohan may have been slightly influenced by him subconsciously when he chose the University of Leeds.

Of course, neither "The Lord of the Rings" nor Leslie Cheung was as important to Gu Xiaohan on Monday morning as her assignment on the history of Italian literary criticism.

"Xiaohan, have you finished Professor Sheldon's homework?" Early in the morning, Gu Xiaohan's roommate sent out a soul torture.

"No, there are still many questions. I plan to go over early this morning to ask Professor Sheldon. Do you want to come with me?"

"Forget it, I feel scared when I see his face. Wait until you come back and tell me about it."

"Okay." Gu Xiaohan smiled and expressed her understanding. Everyone knew that Professor Sheldon was an emotionless killer who would never recognize him even if he was strict. It wasn't until the second half of the semester that she plucked up the courage to ask questions, and every time

Like walking on thin ice.

When walking out of the dormitory, the bell of Parkinson's Tower was heard in the distance. Gu Xiaohan subconsciously looked up. Even though it was far away, the iconic white bell tower was still clearly visible.

The buildings at the University of Leeds have different styles. Taken individually, most of them can be called high-quality products. But when combined together, it is difficult to imagine what kind of mix and match style it will be.

And Gu Xiaohan was lucky enough to see that Gothic style, British style, Fauvism, post-modernism and Renaissance style were gathered on the same campus without any violation.

Of course, she is no longer as fussy as she was when she first came here, but when she saw the all-glass exterior wall, full of technology and modern atmosphere, the Michael Marks Building was opposite to the simple and elegant Maurice Keyworth Building.

Standing there, I still can’t help but stop and admire.

After passing through the largest Brotherton Library, we arrived at the building of the School of Liberal Arts. Professor Sheldon, whom Gu Xiaohan was looking for, had his office on the third floor of this building.

However, just as she walked to the corridor on the third floor, she heard a burst of hearty laughter from a distance.

"Hahahaha, that old guy Pabul is probably going to be half angry to death now! I bet he will avoid me all day today!"

Is this talking about Professor Pablo? Didn’t he and Professor Sheldon always have a good relationship? Is it all superficial?

Hearing Professor Sheldon's words, Gu Xiaohan immediately pricked up her ears. There was nothing she could do about it. Women have the instinct to gossip.

"You are happy, but I still have to take Professor Pablo's class today." A slightly aggrieved voice came, and Gu Xiaohan recognized it as soon as he heard it. It was the voice of Will, a boy in the same class.

But Will has never been very studious, skipping classes is common, and the old-fashioned Professor Sheldon has scolded him countless times.

How could such two people have such a happy conversation? Gu Xiaohan became even more curious.

"What are you afraid of! If that old guy Pabul dares to cause trouble for you, you can come to me." Gu Xiaohan, who heard this, almost thought that the two of them were relatives.

"Okay," Will's voice became louder again, "Professor, were you at the scene yesterday?"

"Of course, how could I be absent from the most important moment of this year?" Professor Sheldon's tone was filled with excitement, "Did you go too?"

"That's for sure. I'm in the west stand, and I won't lose a single game this season!" Will's tone revealed a bit of pride.

"Really? How do I remember that several games this year were on midweek afternoons?" Professor Sheldon said teasingly, "You didn't skip class, did you, Will?"

"Uh," Will paused and replied hesitantly, "No...no, I...I promise."

Even Gu Xiaohan, who was far away, could clearly hear the guilty conscience in these words.

"Hahahahaha!" But Professor Sheldon didn't seem to care at all.

Is this really the Professor Sheldon she knew?

※※※※※※

When the conversation between the two came to an end, Gu Xiaohan entered the professor's office, and Will had already left.

"Gu, good morning! What's the matter?" Professor Sheldon was still smiling, which made Gu Xiaohan, who was used to seeing this killer's cold-blooded appearance, very uncomfortable.

"Hello, professor," she quickly adjusted her attitude, "you mentioned "Cool, Sweet Water" from Petrarch's "Song Book" in the last class, and I have some questions...

”

Unexpectedly, this professor, who was always impatient with answering questions, patiently explained it to Gu Xiaohan. He was so interested that he even quoted from other sources.

""Songbook" combines the delicacy of the Provence knight's poetry with the freshness of the 'gentle new style' poetry school... Oh, we haven't talked about these two poetry schools yet... Gu, you

Do you know what the most famous Provence poem is?"

Gu Xiaohan shook her head, she was a little confused by Professor Sheldon's long speech.

"It's "Song of Breaking Dawn,"" the professor's face glowed, and he started reciting it as if no one else was watching:

"My beautiful companion, are you asleep?

Awake?

Don't sleep anymore, you need to be alert all the time, because I saw the morning star in the east;

I know I know it very well, it will bring day;

It will be dawn soon."

Gu Xiaohan naturally didn't know what Professor Sheldon meant by "it's about to dawn", but at least she already knew the answer to her homework from the professor.
