Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 40: Mass Killing
October 1st.
National Day.
Wimbledon had no plans for a holiday, but Lee Polo asked Adley for leave:
"I have some personal matters to attend to tomorrow. I have to go to London."
Adley stared at him for a long time:
"We are going to play an away game on the afternoon of the 4th. We need to rehearse our formation and tactics in the next two days. Are you sure you want to take a whole day off?"
Li Polo still insisted:
"Yes, sir."
Adley nodded:
"I see."
[Negative emotions from Neil Adley, +1! ]
[Can't players ask for leave if they have something to do? ]
[You are a team formed by community fans based on their passion, not a money-making machine for capitalists! ]
Li Polo curled his lips secretly, but was quietly pulled aside by Cox:
"You really have something to do?"
The shadow of the last round of disastrous defeat has not completely dissipated, and everyone is being extra careful at this time.
Li Polo was full of kindness towards this kind assistant coach:
"I have to accompany my girlfriend to school. I promised her this a long time ago."
Cox held his forehead:
"You...I have nothing to say."
…
In the confrontation simulation match on this day, Li Polo appeared on the bench as expected, and he played the left-back position, which he had never been able to fully adapt to.
The right winger in the main lineup was none other than Aziz.
This roommate who has never been serious is ready to fight:
"Brother, I won't let you down!"
Li Polo glanced at his ankle:
"Don't worry, I will definitely give my 100% strength!"
Noticing his gaze, Aziz couldn't help but gasp:
"What the hell do you want to do? Have you forgotten the gifts I gave you?"
Li Polo laughed grimly:
"Hasn't the coach taught you? Football is a war between men on the green field. Since you have decided to play, you must be determined to die!"
Aziz's mouth twitched and he shouted to the equipment manager on the sidelines:
"Replace my shin guards with longer ones!"
…
Li Polo always does what he says. Whether it is daily training or formal competitions, he always maintains a high level of concentration.
Because he knew better than anyone that, as a player from the ninth-level amateur league, he was far behind other teammates in the basics of football. If he did not work harder in training, he would probably never become an excellent professional player in his limited career.
After all, we can't put all our hopes on a system that's not reliable at all...
[Negative emotions from Aziz, +1]
[Akinfenwa, +1]
[Boorman, +1]
[Fuller, +2]
…
In this team training match, Li Polo went completely crazy!
No matter if it was his close roommate, Akinfenwa who did strength training with him every day, or the old captain with whom he was in competition, as long as they dared to appear in the area guarded by Li Polo with the ball, he would hit them head-on without mercy!
Watching the players being knocked down by him, tackled, blocked, or robbed, Adre, who was watching the game, couldn't sit still:
"Damn, this kid must not hurt my main lineup!"
Cox quickly made a suggestion:
"Shall I ask them to stop and calm down for a while?"
Adley was lost in thought for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand:
"No need. Although his defense is fierce, he still controls his strength. Besides, it seems that Fuller and the others don't dare to move forward..."
In the face of Li Polo's strong defense, the players in the main lineup have spontaneously shifted their offensive focus to another direction !
Seeing the situation gradually return to peace, Adre turned his head slightly and asked:
"You think highly of that boy?"
Cox was stunned for a moment:
"Who are you talking about?"
Adre One Eyebrow:
"Who else?"
Cox laughed:
"Who doesn't like a young man who trains hard and is positive? Besides, you were the one who insisted on signing him!"
Thinking of the friendly match in the summer, Adre laughed silently:
"I just thought that his bravery and ferocity would allow him to be a role player when the team needed him, you know?"
Cox understood his "jargon".
What Adre calls "role players" means that when the team encounters a strong enemy, he will "kill" the opponent's key players, thereby destroying the opponent's tactical core...
Of course, this tactic will never be brought out on the stage, but it actually exists in some low-level games.
Adre turned his attention back to the training ground:
"I never thought that he would perform far beyond expectations right after joining us, and even inspire such a strong sense of competition in a veteran like Barry Fuller."
Cox smiled and nodded:
"But you seem to have forgotten that he was a centre-back in the amateur leagues."
Adre shrugged and looked at the two central defenders Phillips and Goodman:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the center back position also needs stronger stimulation!"
Li Polo on the field suddenly sneezed!
During this period, no one dared to invade the wing he was guarding, resulting in significantly less running. Could it be that he caught a cold?
…
October 2nd.
“…”
Looking at the bright red BMW Mini Cooper parked at his feet, Li Polo, who was carrying a backpack, was a little caught off guard.
He knew that his girlfriend, whom he had known for less than a month, came from a wealthy family, and that this car, which costs 200,000 or 300,000 yuan in China, only costs less than 20,000 pounds in the UK, but he still felt something was wrong...
Lisanna rolled down the window and smiled playfully:
"Get in the car!"
Li Polo obediently opened the passenger door and threw his chauvinism and backpack into the back seat:
"I've been planning on taking you there in a taxi... um."
His mouth was sealed by a pair of soft lips, and then a faint sweet taste filled every one of his taste buds.
[Young man, you are attacking by surprise! ]
It took a few seconds before Lisanna released his neck, allowing him to breathe air again.
"Come on, the cost of a taxi from Wimbledon to school is enough to buy a car!"
Li Polo looked unconvinced:
"You lied to me, it's only 10 bucks to take the subway to the city center!"
Lisanna pointed to the trunk:
“I have five suitcases.”
Li Polo immediately gave up the discussion:
"Drive, baby!"
Why argue with rich people?
Wimbledon is actually not too far from London. It takes three hours to go there by subway, but it only takes less than one-third of the time to drive there.
Although Lisanna will not be 19 for another month, she is already an experienced driver with 18 months of driving experience. When she drives fast, Li Polo feels a little scared...
"slower."
"Hey, slow down!"
When he wanted to remind his girlfriend to be careful, he got this reply:
"I haven't even started yet, and you can't stand it?"
Li Polo was stunned for a moment, his face actually felt a little hot, and he quickly found an excuse to cover it up:
"Slow down, I'll get something."
Lisana immediately stepped on the brakes and slowly slowed down the car.
Li Polo heaved a sigh of relief and took out two small and exquisite gift boxes from the backpack in the back seat:
"Today is the 25th day since we met and it is also our first solo tour. I want to commemorate this great day ."
Lisanna took a look and was a little surprised:
"Jo Malone's perfume and...TF's lipstick?"
Li Polo laughed:
"I really admire you girls for knowing what this thing is just by looking at it."
Lisanna raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to ask something else, but in the end she just smiled faintly:
"Thank you, dear. By the way, the 5th of next month is my birthday."
Li Polo was stunned.
[Giving gifts again? ]
[Although these two small items are only a hundred or eighty yuan, it is not a problem for me who is "rich", but... the process of choosing things is the most torturous thing! ]
[Thinking about it, there’s also Halloween in November, so shouldn’t I give something as a gift? ]
[In December, Christmas + New Year... Isn't that even more terrible? ]
Lisanna keenly caught his expression and smiled even more happily.
Li Polo fell into deep thought.
【its not right!】
[Didn't this girl look silly before? ]
[Could it be that... I am the fish? ]
