Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 42 God is on my side
At Cox's command, there was chaos on the visiting team's bench.
Forward Aziz and midfielder Reeves put on yellow vests and prepared to warm up.
Li Polo was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Cox:
"And me?"
Cox threw his arm away:
"We don't need to strengthen our defense, why are you making such a fuss?"
Yes, what Wimbledon needs most now is, first, a passer who can find loopholes in the defense, and second, a striker who can score goals!
Why are you, a defender, here to join in the fun?
If he wasn't trying to guard against the opponent's counterattack, Adre would even want to withdraw a defender to further strengthen the attack!
Li Polo curled his lips and sat down helplessly.
Reeves pressed his head and pointed at himself:
"Just stay here quietly and watch how I, Wimbledon Beckham, defeat the opponent with my precise crosses!"
Rigg on the field suddenly sneezed.
【Isn’t Beckham of Wimbledon my father?】
…
In the 65th minute, Adre, eager to open up the situation, made the first substitution.
He also removed Dubis and Frampton, who had been fighting with their opponents for more than an hour, and pushed the young and strong Aziz and Reeves onto the battlefield.
Before they took the court, Cox gave instructions one by one on the sidelines:
"Increase off-ball running and create a penalty if there is a chance!"
The two young players grinned, nodded in understanding, and then stepped onto the green field.
Exhausted Dubis and Boorman trudged back to the bench. Li Polo stretched out his right hand and high-fived them one by one, which was the most common encouragement between teammates.
The two players did not play badly, especially Dubis, who scored the equalizer before the end of the first half, thus preventing the situation from deteriorating further. However, they encountered the opponent's defensive tactics, which prevented them from exerting their full strength.
The appearance of the two new players did bring a little change to the stalemate. The energetic Aziz roamed around the home team's penalty area, attracting the attention of many defensive players and sharing some defensive pressure for Akinfenwa; and the appearance of Reeves added another good crosser for Wimbledon in addition to Rigg, Porter and Fuller.
There was nothing wrong with Adre's tactical design, and the players on the field executed it resolutely, but luck did not seem to be on their side.
From the 65th minute, Wimbledon formed a siege that lasted for 20 minutes, during which they successfully passed the ball into the penalty area 6 times, but only Aziz touched the ball once.
Aziz 183, Akinfenwa 180, Frankon 180, Reeves 173, Boorman 175, Porter 170...
Wimbledon's frontcourt players' disadvantages are fully exposed!
"The height difference is too big..."
Cox felt very regretful when he saw another free kick opportunity in the frontcourt being wasted.
In the 86th minute, Wildcats midfielder Alfie Potter made a powerful shot from 25 meters away from the goal, but the ball was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper and went out of bounds. Wimbledon got the sixth corner kick opportunity of the game.
The home team coach waved back and made his final substitution.
He replaced the last striker with a tall central defender, ready to defend the penalty area, and then ended the game with a 1:1 draw and 1 point!
Seeing this, Adre immediately communicated the tactical adjustments to the backcourt players:
"Center defender move forward! Participate in the corner attack!"
Li Polo also jumped out from the bench, stepped forward and started stretching his legs.
Cox glanced at him.
"what are you doing?"
Li Polo did not look back and continued to warm up:
"I've been sitting for too long. I'll move around for a while."
Cox thought about it, stood up walked to Adre.
The free kick taken by Rigg flew straight to Aziz, but failed to get past the opponent's 1.95-meter-tall central defender and was headed out of bounds. Wimbledon got another corner kick opportunity.
Cox then spoke:
"You can let him try."
Adley frowned and asked back:
"Who do you want to replace?"
Cox glanced at the players on the field:
“Akinfenwa’s energy is exhausted.”
Adley hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly:
"He's no longer effective."
Cox got the approval and jumped in front of the fourth official:
"We need a change! Now! Immediately!"
…
Although the home team was always in a defensive posture, the players were under even greater pressure. So when the central defender headed the ball away, when Rigg asked the home team's ball boy for the ball, the 12-year-old ball boy played a little trick on Rigg, pretending to slip and throwing the ball behind the billboard in the corner flag area...
Rigg shook his head helplessly and could only climb over the billboard and pick it up himself.
This is one of the functions of home advantage. Their caddies can help the home team delay time, giving their players a chance to catch their breath.
The referee can’t just send the ball boy off with a red card, right?
When Rigg pressed the ball into the corner flag area and prepared to kick off again, at least 20 seconds were wasted.
The game time reached the 87th minute.
A reminder came from the referee's headphones:
"Change."
He gestured to Rigg and pointed to the area on the sidelines.
Akinfenwa glanced at the electronic card held high by the fourth official and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Number 10 goes down and number 1 goes up?
The red one is his number: 10, and the green one is 1...is it Li Polo?
The opposing coach was also stunned and quickly looked through the roster in his hand:
"Number 1... Polo Li, defender?"
His assistant suddenly realized what was going on and immediately reminded his boss:
"This defender has excellent jumping ability. He scored a header against Manchester United before!"
The head coach immediately blew a whistle and gestured to the players who were dozens of meters away:
"Someone keep an eye on him!"
The central defender who had just come on three minutes ago stood up and seemed ready to defend closely.
Li Polo looked at this guy who was half a head taller than him and activated his traditional skills:
"You big fool, do you think you are better than Manchester United's defender?"
"They can't even keep an eye on me, who do you think you are?"
[Negative emotions from James Field, +1! ]
Felt was also good-tempered. After being ridiculed, he held it in for a long time and finally thought of words to fight back:
"If you are so good, why are you just a substitute?"
【Extremely Beautiful!】
[I'll let you act arrogantly in front of me! ]
After saying this, he couldn't help but want to applaud himself for his sharp counterattack!
But he did not appreciate the other party's angry expression after the truth was revealed, he only saw a disappearing afterimage!
“FUCK!”
Felt cursed and hurriedly chased after Li Polo, but it was too late!
Just one step late!
Li Polo has completed his run-up and even used the shoulders of his teammate Phillips to jump high in the crowd!
He jumps higher than anyone else!
The corner kick taken by Rigg seemed to have its own scope, hitting his forehead with incredible precision!
Li Polo shook his head at the highest point!
With a "whoosh" sound, a beam of white light flew into the home team's goal!
2:1!
Wimbledon completed the reversal in the 88th minute!
"YES!"
Adre cheered on the sidelines!
Cox let out a long breath, then laughed:
"Good job, little guy!"
Time is running out for Cheltenham!
They don't even have a striker!
They only have six defenders and four strong waists!
This goal is the winning goal!
…
Looking at the ball spinning in the net, Fürth stopped in despair.
The head coach arranged for me to come on as a substitute to guard against the opponent's high balls, but... I messed it up!
“Boom.”
He saw the goal scorer land in front of him.
There was no passionate celebratory gesture.
Li Polo just smiled at him, then spread his hands and shrugged:
"I told you long ago, brother, God is on my side, you can't defend me at all!"
[Negative emotions from Field, +3! ]
Li Polo frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.
[I ridiculed him so much, but I only got 3 emotions? This guy has such a good temper! ]
[If it was Januzaj or some other little guy, they would have punched me in the face a long time ago! ]
[I just want to cheat another red card! ]
