Congratulations to the women's football team for winning the Asian Cup for the ninth time!

"This...Wimbledon's young defender equalized the score for the Crazy Gang!"
Lineker was somewhat excited.
As a Tottenham legend, he certainly doesn't want his city rivals Chelsea to win too many championships.
But he did not expect that when the game entered the final stage, the Blues with a goal in hand would be tied by their opponents.
Then he saw Li Polo jogging to the sidelines after scoring the goal and sliding on his knees next to Mourinho to celebrate!
Mourinho, who was giving tactical instructions to Drogba, only felt a gust of wind blowing in his face!
He stopped explaining and looked over fiercely.
But Li Polo didn't seem to care about his mood at all. He just rushed to Adre and Cox and gave the two head coaches a warm hug!
He is just trying to disgust you on purpose, but you can't even appeal to the referee!
[ Negative emotions from Mourinho, +10! ]
…
In the 81st minute, Chelsea replaced Oscar, who was performing mediocrely, with the strongest striker in their history, "Magic Beast" Drogba.
"Despite being 37 years old, the Ivorian striker is still a nightmare for many Premier League teams."
Zhan Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Diego Costa has already put Li Polo in a tough fight. Adding an old monster to the mix, will this be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Crazy Gang?"
…
Li Polo's heart tightened, but he still took the opportunity to launch a verbal offensive against Costa:
"What's wrong? Mourinho thinks you can't deal with me, so he sent an old man to help you?"
[Diego Costa, +4! ]
Costa's breathing finally became rapid, and then he glared at him angrily:
"Don't worry, I'm your only opponent!"
…
Adre was also unsure, and he immediately replaced Akinfenwa, who was running out of energy, and sent in substitute central defender Kennedy.
He completely abandoned the forwards and adopted a 540 formation:
Since Chelsea uses two center forwards, Wimbledon uses three center backs!
…
In the last 10 minutes of regular time, the game was completely surrounded by fouls and whistles.
The referee Mike Dean became the busiest person in the game for a while, and he even gave out 5 minutes of injury time.
Although Chelsea fielded two powerful forwards, Costa and Drogba, their connection with each other was very limited. Li Polo restricted Costa one-on-one, while Phillips and Kennedy entangled Drogba. No matter how William and Cuadrado kicked the ball and passed it, the air supremacy in the penalty area was always firmly in the hands of Wimbledon.
Time passed by minute by minute. In the last stage of injury time, William gave up continuing to cross the ball and chose to cut inside and break through. Smith, who was defending in the middle, gritted his teeth and stopped him with a flying tackle, which earned him a yellow card.
Then he fell to the ground because of cramps in his legs.
Although the players stretched his hamstrings for him at the first moment, they signaled to him knowingly:
"Lie down a little longer!"
This is both a time-delaying tactic and allows the head coach to consider the next tactic for a few more seconds.
But Adrey hesitated for a full minute before playing his last card.
He still didn't want to give up his last hope.
He replaced vice-captain Smith with experienced forward Dubis!
“Drip, drip, drip!”
The regular time of 90 minutes ends here!
…
"The pace of the last few minutes was breathtaking. Wimbledon dragged the game into extra time at the cost of two yellow cards, but they were undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength because they were one man short."
Zhan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took of water.
Zhang Lu is slightly more optimistic than him:
"It's not bad. They have been on the defensive the whole time. Although they are very nervous, they are not completely unable to run... The only question is, can this striker sent by Adre play the role of a surprise attack?"
…
There is only one minute between regular time and overtime, so the players have no way of returning to the locker room. They can only stand on the sidelines, replenishing water while listening to the coaching team's tactical arrangements.
Adre now has no additional tactics and can only keep emphasizing the previous arrangements:
"Except for Dubis, everyone must guard the third restricted area. Don't let them enter the restricted area easily!"
"Don't kick it out of the sideline, drive forward! Let Dubis grab the chance!"
He glanced at Li Polo again and added hesitantly:
"If you are sure, you can also join the counterattack! But you must be sure!"
Li Polo couldn't help but complain in his heart:
[Where in the world is there a 100% sure chance of a counterattack? ]
…
Overtime came quickly, the pace was still intense, but the scene was even more dull.
Chelsea's two forwards tried very hard to attack the penalty area, but they were never able to pose a threat, and the audience even missed Hazard who was injured.
In the 97th minute, Costa fell to the ground in a fight with Li Polo, covered his face with his hands, and rolled into the penalty area...
Li Polo was stunned.
[I almost forgot, this guy will do anything for victory! ]
【In a way, we are on the same path! 】
Mourinho almost jumped on the fourth official:
"Red card, this must be a red card! And it's a penalty!"
Adler did not back down:
"Diving, it's Costa diving! He should be given a yellow card!"
But the referee Dean hesitated for three seconds, and finally waved his hand and chose to calm the situation down.
Mourinho was very disappointed.
[How can this Mike Dean be so cowardly? Last year I praised you as the best manager in the Premier League, but today you don't give me any respect at all? ]
…
Since Costa had blatantly faked a fall, Li Polo quickly retaliated.
Just 4 minutes later, Cuadrado made a lob pass from the wing, Kennedy headed the ball away, beating Drogba. Costa immediately retreated to prepare for the follow-up shot, but Li Polo, who arrived first, kicked the ball away.
Although the football is no longer there, the competition between the two masters has just begun.
In just 0.2 seconds, Li Polo and Costa predicted each other's next moves in their minds, and then the two figures collided with each other and separated immediately!
Costa staggered slightly, feeling the pain in his feet, and his face became extremely grim:
"Damn, I was careless and didn't dodge!"
Li Polo narrowed his eyes slightly:
"It's not that you don't want to dodge, it's that you don't have the ability to dodge!"
[Negative emotions from Costa, +5! ]
In the blink of an eye, Li Polo used his studs to fiercely scratch his opponent's instep!
The damage was not serious, but it was enough to make Costa bleed and feel pain for a few minutes!
Sure enough, before he had run a few steps, blood oozed from his shoes and socks. The referee had to stop the game and signaled him to go off the court to stop the bleeding.
Time passed second by second, and the overtime was getting closer and closer to the penalty shootout.
But when the 30-minute overtime was about to end, an accident happened again on the field!
Azpilicueta made a quick cross from the wing, Drogba shook off two people and chose to head the ball, but collided with the goalkeeper Shea!
Although he is already 37 years old, the power of the Beast is still as strong as before at this moment. Although Xie A saved the cross, he was hit hard on the head by Drogba. Coupled with the impact of landing, he fell into a state of shock!
With permission, the team doctors of both teams rushed into the field.
Xie A woke up quickly, but not only was his skin torn and bleeding, but more seriously, he looked very dazed.
The penalty shootout was about to begin, leaving him no time to recover.
Douglas looked at Adre on the sidelines with some embarrassment.
Chelsea's female team doctor Eva gave professional advice without hesitation:
"He has a broken eyebrow and a concussion. You must send him to the hospital for treatment immediately! Otherwise, you're making a fool of his career!"
"God help me!"
Mourinho raised his arms, almost announcing that he was about to win.
"Mmmm!"
Adley kicked away a bottle of mineral water!
His three substitutions had already been used up!
You can only choose a temporary goalkeeper from the other 9 players on the field!
The goalkeeper cannot be too short or have arms too short. The third captain Phillips, who is 1.88 meters tall, is the tallest player, but as an elderly player, he has been playing for two hours and is exhausted. It is impossible for him to be competent.
Kennedy, who is 1.85 meters tall, came on as a substitute and had sufficient stamina, but...
Adre still couldn't make a decision.
Then he saw Li Polo pointing at himself:
"Coach, find me a pair of gloves!"
