Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 45: Defeat Ronaldo and Zidane
In the 21st minute of the game, Milton Keynes, with the advantage of home court, clearly had the upper hand.
For a full 20 minutes, Milton had more than 65% of the ball possession, forcing Akinfenwa to retreat to the 30-meter area to participate in defense.
But their tall forward Daniel Powell became more and more angry as the game went on.
Milton's midfield and backcourt created at least 8 crossing opportunities, but Powell, who was the tallest player on the front line...did not get a single header, just as Li Polo had provoked him!
What’s even more infuriating is…he didn’t even have a chance to get the ball in the penalty area!
In order to prevent Powell from touching the ball, the arrogant guard No. 1 on the opposite side used verbal provocations, shoulder bumps, pulling on his jersey, kicking him, stepping on his shoes, and elbowing him... He simply did everything he could!
But every move he made was extremely concealed, or he knew how to grasp the timing and strength very well. He only delayed Powell's movement for half a second and then stopped immediately. Even if Powell wanted to complain to the referee, it would be difficult for him to find any evidence...
Moreover, in the tradition of English football, brutal collisions have always been advocated. With just a little bit of pulling and tugging by Li Polo, even if Powell put the slow-motion video on the desk of the chairman of the referee committee to question them, they would 99% believe that Li Polo did not commit a foul!
【clam down!】
Powell took a deep breath and calmed himself down a little.
At this moment, he saw his teammate Ali make a gesture that was not common in training:
"Go diagonally to the side of the penalty area!"
Powell didn't hesitate and accelerated directly to the right side of the penalty area.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Ali making a straight pass in the opposite direction of him, but he did not see Li Polo.
[That guy...didn't move with me? ]
Powell suddenly felt something was wrong.
In Milton's offensive routine, Powell played the role of a feint. His biggest role was to tie down at least one central defender to follow his movement, thereby helping his teammates to tear open the defense line and allow Afobi and Grigg to have more shooting space!
But Li Polo, who had turned on the cheat, saw through their tactical intentions in advance and "predicted" Ali's passing route more accurately. He rushed directly to Phillips' defense area, stretched out his right foot before Grigg, and ended Ali's through pass with an extremely precise interception!
[Negative emotions from Ali, +5! ]
[Powell, +2! ]
[Greg, +2! ]
Powell took a quick glance and saw that Li Polo had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but get furious.
[This bastard, has he seen through our tactics long ago? ]
Li Polo smiled even more happily.
Because he heard an emotionless electronic synthesized voice in his mind:
"Talent skill [Eagle Eye] has been upgraded to Lv2, current experience value 101/500, cooldown interval shortened from 10 minutes to 8 minutes."
How could he not be happy?
In a 90-minute match, if injury time is not counted, the maximum number of times that cheats could be used is 8 times, but now they can be used up to 12 times!
This means that my tolerance for errors in the game has been greatly improved!
…
“Whoosh!”
After passing the ball to Reeves on the wing, Li Polo did not stay in his own penalty area, but chose to speed up and follow his teammates to charge towards the home team's half.
For more than 20 minutes before, Wimbledon was suppressed to the point where they could hardly raise their heads. They finally won an opportunity for a quick counterattack, and the players of the Crazy Gang all gave 120% of their energy!
Reeves, who got the ball first, didn't make any unnecessary movements. He just turned half a circle sideways and sent the ball directly to Porter's feet diagonally in front of him.
As the core midfielder of Wimbledon, Porter's passing ability is obviously unparalleled. He took two steps forward, observed the positions of players from both sides on the field, and then swung his right leg and sent a huge arc pass!
Adre and Robinson on the sidelines held their breath almost at the same time!
The eyes of thousands of people in the stadium followed the arc as it flew across half of the stadium!
The black and white ball spun and flew over Milton's four defenders!
Porter secretly encouraged himself:
"pretty!"
His nearly 40-meter long pass directly broke through the home team's entire defense line!
When the home team 's defensive players were still turning around in astonishment, Aziz had already turned into a blue lightning and easily made an offside move!
Center back Levington rushed towards Aziz like crazy, trying to disrupt his catching of the ball, but Aziz was obviously faster and didn't let Captain Milton touch the corner of his clothes!
“Shhh!!”
Thousands of home team fans in the stands made crazy noises, trying to use sonic attacks to hinder Aziz, but they instead inspired Aziz's fighting spirit. He caught up with the falling football at the top of the penalty area and volleyed the ball before the goalkeeper could make a move!
1:0!
Wimbledon broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute!
…
"Snapped!"
Adley and Cox high-fived each other, but both felt the hot sweat on each other's palms.
The attack just now started with Li Polo and ended with Aziz, which took only seven or eight seconds. It only involved four players and three passes. It can be called a textbook quick counterattack!
But if any of these four players made a mistake, if Li Polo did not intercept the ball accurately but just cleared it without direction, if Reeves did not transfer the ball immediately but chose to dribble the ball himself, if Porter's long pass was one meter less accurate, if Aziz's shot did not hit the right spot... this counterattack would be in vain.
This is certainly a victory of teamwork and tactics!
…
"Hahaha!"
After scoring the goal, Aziz was so excited that he ran 50 meters while laughing wildly, and even jumped directly onto the away fans' stand and hugged with more than 20 diehard fans of the Crazy Gang. It was not until a shirtless, bearded man was about to give him a passionate kiss that Aziz escaped from the fans...
Then he celebrated with his teammates:
"My sideways volley is so cool! Ronaldo is no better than me!"
Looking at Aziz, who looked so arrogant and seemed to be flying to the sky, Li Polo really had no way to attack his roommate with words.
Zidane's "flying fairy" shot that he shot sideways in the air has won him praise for twenty years. Aziz's shot will only be more difficult.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is known as the "greatest shooter of all time" and the "king of shooters", has a success rate of less than 30% when he volleys sideways while making a high-speed forward run!
As a striker of an English League Two team, such a goal is enough for Aziz to brag about for ten years!
Such an extremely wonderful defensive counterattack was not only a great boost to the morale of the entire Wimbledon team, but also a huge blow to Milton who had been attacking for 21 minutes!
All the pressure came to the home team.
