…
When medical staff confirmed that Ali could not continue the game and even sent him directly to the hospital by ambulance, Li Polo immediately received a large wave of negative emotions from the home team players and coaches .
Even the referee contributed 2 negative points and waved at Li Polo, ready to give him a warning...
"You bastard!"
"I'll fuck your mother!"
"You definitely did this on purpose!"
“Is this your professional quality?”
"If you can't play football, get out!"
Before Li Polo reached the referee, he was surrounded by angry home team players, many of whom were pushing and shoving him.
Li Polo, who had incurred public outrage, was not afraid to give in. He stiffened his neck and argued:
"I kicked the ball first!"
"It was a perfect steal! It wasn't a foul at all!"
"He was too slow to react and didn't know how to dodge. Can you blame me?"
Seeing this man so arrogant, the home team players became even more furious. A burly man suddenly jumped up and kicked Li Boluo directly on the butt.
Li Polo was unprepared and threw a vicious dog at his food, his mouth full of the fragrance of grass and soil.
"Who the hell did that?!"
Before he could even get up, Akinfenwa, Rige and others who were not far away rushed over, trying to get back the ground for him. The situation on the field suddenly became more tense and heated!
"drop!"
The referee, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, blew the whistle to stop the players from both sides, took out two plastic cards from his chest pocket, and without saying a word, showed the red card to the player who had just performed the flying kick!
This is direct violent behavior, a red card is not an exaggeration!
Perhaps in order to appease the emotions of the home team, the referee turned to the culprit of the incident, Li Polo, and upgraded the original verbal warning to a yellow card...
"I kicked the ball first, referee."
Li Boluo still argued to him confidently, completely ignoring the head coach's somewhat dark face.
There was no way. Although he insisted that he touched the ball first and it was not a 100% chance to score a goal, Ali looked too miserable. The home team players and fans were unprecedentedly angry. If the referee did not say anything, it would be difficult for him to walk out of the stadium alive in this situation!
Central defender Mark Phillips, wearing the captain's armband, stopped him behind him and expressed his opinion to the referee on behalf of the team:
"That's all right, Mr. Referee."
Phillips, who has been in the football world for more than ten years, certainly knows that in this situation, no matter how he argues to the referee, it is completely meaningless!
Even for his own life, the referee will never withdraw this yellow card!
…
"Damn, I'm scared to death."
Assistant coach Cox on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding.
Coach Adre also had a relaxed look on his face.
The opponent's most threatening offensive core left the field due to injury, and the main central defender was also sent off, so the number of players on both sides returned to balance.
In a ten-on-ten situation, Wimbledon's defensive pressure will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and they may even find a chance to equalize the score!
Adre gritted his teeth and thought for a few seconds, then walked towards the command area and gestured to George Francon, the right midfielder closest to him:
"Don't stay too far back, strengthen your attack appropriately!"
…
The game finally resumed , but Milton Keynes players still couldn't calm down.
They were very angry about the injury of their teammate, but what was even more unacceptable to them was that the murderer was so calm as if nothing had happened, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Soon, Li Polo paid the price for his ruthless arrogance. A few minutes later, the opposing midfielder Ben Reeves dribbled the ball in front of him.
Reeves, who was loaned from Premier League team Southampton, is only 1.71 meters tall. Compared with Ali, who is 1.88 meters tall, he is faster on his feet and more threatening when dribbling with the ball. Unfortunately, he ran into Li Polo, whose plug-in had finished cooling down. Before he could finish a Marseille turn, the latter poked the ball away cleanly.
[Negative emotions from Ben Reeves, +1! ]
Li Polo, who successfully completed the defense, did not counterattack with the ball, but immediately passed the ball to midfielder Danny Boorman. The latter looked up at the positions of both sides and kicked a long diagonal pass.
The ball flew a distance of forty meters in the air and found his teammate Rigg who was advancing at high speed on the left side. In front of him... was an open space with no one guarding it!
Rigg pushed the ball forward without hesitation and chased after it with big strides, causing Milton Keynes' formation to move quickly to the left. A few seconds later, facing the opponent who was about to close in, Rigg chose to cross the ball without hesitation.
His target is of course Akinfenwa who is at the front!
Akinfenwa tried to jump up to catch the ball, but the home team defender and captain Lewington, who was right behind him, grabbed his arm. He could only look up and watch the ball pass over the two of them.
Levington just breathed a sigh of relief, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a blue figure appear behind him:
The opponent's right forward George Francon has already made a high-speed run!
At this moment, the home team's overall formation had been pulled to the left by the previous large-scale transfer, and the right side was almost undefended!
Francon pushed the ball far forward and rushed to the edge of the home team's penalty area, only to meet the first full-back defending him, Callum McFadden. But McFadden, who hurriedly returned to defense, had no time to get into position before he saw Francon kick a cross!
Akinfenwa had already flanked the defense at the front of the penalty area. This time, he fully utilized . Although Lewington pulled hard, he still couldn't hold him back. The most muscular man in the British Isles headed the flying ball, and the ball went into the net!
2:2!
Wimbledon equalized the score again in the 62nd minute!
Li Polo, who had just crossed the center line, raised his arms high.
Adre and Cox on the sidelines high-fived each other, and the visiting team's bench cheered.
The home team's bench was silent. Coach Robinson called his assistants over and asked with a grim face:
"That right-back who came on as a substitute...is he really just an amateur player?"
Several assistants looked at each other, and one of them pointed at the roster and answered him:
"He literally just moved from the amateur team to Wimbledon..."
Robinson still didn't quite believe it:
"We thought he would be a weakness at Wimbledon, but now it seems that his ability in one-on-one defense is far beyond our expectations..."
An assistant added:
"And his defensive moves were very fierce, really like an amateur player."
Others nodded repeatedly. A big difference between professional players and amateur players is the sense of proportion in their movements. The reason why amateur players are "fierce" is not because they are full of fighting spirit, but because they cannot control the range of their movements.
Just like a martial arts master can stop at the right time, the more skilled the player is, the more accurately he can control his every move and will never waste energy easily.
Robinson finally believed that Li Polo was a rookie. He pondered for a while and finally decided to implement his original tactics:
"Keep attacking this rookie. He's already received a yellow card. I don't believe he can last the entire game!"
