Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 44: You can’t afford to mess with the English League One team!
"I know there is a historical grudge between the two clubs, but you are all professional players. I hope everyone can exercise restraint and let the game go smoothly, OK?"
When the captains of both teams came before the referee team and prepared to toss a coin, the referee Simon specifically emphasized the discipline of the game to them.
Fuller and Levington looked at each other, seeing each other's fake smiles, and then assured the referee without any psychological burden:
"Of course it's OK, Mr. Referee."
“We are all very professional!”
Simon pretended not to see their fake smiles, threw the coin high, and then caught it with the back of his hand:
"The home team has the ball!"
"drop!"
With a whistle, the second confrontation between the new and old Crazy Gangs this season officially began!
…
"Tell me... why did we all forget to arrange him to play in the position he is best at?"
Adre, who was sitting on the sidelines enjoying the scenery, picked up a random topic.
Cox stared at the field and answered casually:
"Is it because he didn't play as a centre-back in his first game?"
Adley stroked his stubble and laughed:
"Maybe... But Barry made such a direct suggestion to me. He obviously felt the pressure of competition."
Cox retracted his gaze and smiled:
"But...these four guys on the field right now may be our strongest line of defense!"
Adley nodded without comment:
"That's true from a defensive point of view, but don't you think that it's a waste of his offensive ability to only let him play as a central defender?"
Cox was stunned for a moment:
"I really haven't thought about this kind of thing ."
Adre smiled and looked at the court, with an unfathomable expression:
"So, I am the head coach, and you can only be my assistant."
Cox opened his mouth, then stretched out his right hand and slapped him on the back:
"Try to install another one for me!"
…
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere in the visiting team's coaching booth, the home team's side was obviously much more serious.
Coach Robinson even stood on the sidelines from the beginning, monitoring every move of both sides with a serious face.
Although this match was only the most insignificant British Championship, the club's top management attached great importance to it as it involved historical disputes between the two sides. In addition, Robinson had been defeated by the Mad Gang before. All these factors combined made Robinson have to be prepared.
Milton, playing at home, sent out a more offensive 433:
The goalkeeper is David Martin, who came from Liverpool's youth training base and has played for Premier League teams such as Tottenham and Leicester City. The 28-year-old is very experienced.
The back line is exactly the same as the last time they met: Captain Lewington and Kay partner in the middle, with Baldock and McFadden on the left and right.
The three main midfielders are Ali, Green and Carruthers. Ali is naturally responsible for organizing the advancement, while the other two are more focused on defense.
The team fielded its three strongest attackers: Afobi, who has scored 6 goals this season, Grigg, who has scored 5 goals, and Powell, who has scored 2 goals.
The three forwards have different characteristics. Afobi, who is on loan from Arsenal, is known for his speed like other Gunners' youth players . Powell acts as a battering ram with his height of 187. As for Grigg, he is the core of the trident with his good passing and shooting!
The most troublesome thing about these three attackers is that their positions are not fixed. They will frequently cross positions and completely tear apart the opponent's defense!
Robinson was quite confident about his lineup, especially after taking a look at the opponent's defense line, he even wanted to laugh.
There is no need to talk about Wimbledon's goalkeeper. The main goalkeeper Shea is still suspended. What's so good about the mere second goalkeeper?
Among the four defenders, three are veterans over 30 years old, and the other is a young boy who just turned 20 years old. They are a combination of old, weak and sick. Under the powerful impact of Milton's trident, how could they last 90 minutes?
Of course, after seeing the number of the "young boy", Robinson's smile involuntarily turned cold.
He remembered very clearly that two months ago, it was this No. 1 player who came on as a substitute when Milton was in a good situation, and used an "extremely brutal" foul to eliminate his midfield core Ali!
After this foul, Milton's morale suffered a severe blow and he lost the entire game directly!
【Come on! 】
Robinson stared at Li Polo's figure with sharp eyes, and shouted confidently in his heart:
[Last time, we knew nothing about you, so you took advantage of us.
In this game, you will experience that you can’t afford to mess with the English League One team!
In front of Milton Keynes, you Wimbledon are just...】
His inner monologue came to an abrupt end before it was even finished.
Ali, who was dribbling the ball, was surrounded by the midfielders at the top of the penalty area before he met Li Polo. However, he found a passing route among the people and unexpectedly passed the ball to the full-back who came in from the right. Baldock only adjusted for half a second before decisively kicking the ball to the middle!
The 1.87-meter-tall Powell got into position at the first possible moment, but just as he bent his legs and prepared to jump for the header, he felt a huge pressure on his back, forcing him to be unable to stretch his body at all.
He could only look up and saw a black shadow leaping into the air and blocking out the sun!
"ha!"
Li Polo headed Baldock's cross forward as if it were effortless!
[Negative emotions from George Baldock, +1! ]
[Negative emotions from Daniel Powell, +1! ]
[Negative emotions from Robinson, +2! ]
Robinson pursed his lips tightly.
He thought back to the game two months ago.
It was this No. 1 who came on as a substitute who not only eliminated Ali, but also scored the winning goal in the final minute of injury time to turn the tide!
That's a header!
[His jumping ability and anticipation...are definitely not at the level of a League Two player! ]
…
Among the six major attribute settings of the FIFA series, the ability of heading does not belong to the category of [shooting], but is included in [defense]. Li Polo's [defense] is as high as 73!
Coupled with his [Physique] of 74, ordinary opponents basically have no way to gain any advantage in front of him, not to mention... As soon as Li Polo stepped onto the court, he exuded a fierce and powerful aura, which made many opponents subconsciously retreat!
"Hello, bro."
Li Polo patted Powell on the shoulder with a harmless smile on his face:
"If you can grab a high ball from me in this game, I will call you daddy! I, Li Polo, always keep my word!"
Powell didn't say anything, but his eyes narrowed slightly, obviously trying to suppress his inner anger.
Li Polo could tell what he was thinking without even looking at his expression.
[Negative emotions from Powell, +2! ]
He curled his lips.
[I provoked you like this, and you only contributed 2 experience points? ]
[Once again, I miss Manchester United and Januzaj endlessly! 】
[Even your teammate Ali is better than you! ]
