Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 58: Comprehensively Improve Yourself
Wimbledon's 6-0 away win over York City became the match with the most lopsided score in the first round of the FA Cup, but it did not attract much attention.
In addition to them, there were several matches with big scores of 5:0 and 4:0. If we only consider the goals, there were also offensive goal battles such as 6:3 and 4:3. What's more, the strong teams from the Premier League and the Championship have not yet appeared. The focus of these matches is certainly not as great as the upcoming national team matches.
Mid-November is the national team match week clearly stipulated by FIFA. For example, European teams have to play in the European Cup qualifiers - but this has nothing to do with Wimbledon. How can a League Two team have any national team players...
With nearly 30,000 pounds in hand, Li Polo spent half an hour looking around in the William Hill store on the commercial street but couldn't find any good investment opportunities.
After all, this round of matches is nothing more than England vs. Slovenia, Germany vs. Gibraltar, Netherlands vs. Latvia, Portugal vs. Armenia, Spain vs. Belarus, Switzerland vs. Lithuania, Czech Republic vs. Iceland, Turkey vs. Kazakhstan, Cyprus vs. Andorra, Slovakia vs. North Macedonia. Almost all of them are duels between the strong and the weak, so the odds will naturally not be too high.
But... now I'm here.
Since the entire season's salary has been advanced, you can't just sit back and do nothing except celebrating your girlfriend's birthday, buying gifts, and opening a hotel, right?
After careful consideration, he finally spent 1,000 yuan in this store, stringing together the 10 most confident matches, and betting on "handicap 2 goals" in the matches against Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, which barely brought the odds to 1:63.
He originally wanted to watch another Italy vs. Croatia game, but he vaguely remembered that Italy did not seem to get a ticket to the European Cup in the end. He felt uneasy, but he also avoided a human tragedy.
After all, it is a world-class gambling platform. This round of the European Cup has just ended, and my bank card received a profit of 61,400 pounds the next day - the platform has deducted 1% tax.
Looking at the string of numbers displayed on his bank card, Li Polo, who had a deposit of nearly 100,000 yuan, felt heartbroken and cried out, "I bought too little!"
If he had bet all his fortune on this lottery ticket, he would be a millionaire now!
Then he received another message pushed to him by the platform:
“The UK government has announced new proposals for bookmakers: regardless of where the platform is located, as long as the profits made in the UK are subject to a 15% tax. This regulation will take effect from December 1, 2014.”
He couldn't help but regret it again.
Why not invest more?!
You will have to pay an additional 14% tax in the future!
Isn't this a free advantage for the British?
…
In addition to tripling his personal assets, Li Polo was finally willing to spend money to improve himself.
Encouraged by the "old driver" Lisanna, he plans to get a driver's license - after all, he still has to save some face, and he can't always let his girlfriend pick him up...
The total cost of applying for a temporary driver's license, registration, written test materials, written test fees, road test class fees, road test fees, driver's license processing fees and postage is estimated to be more than 1,000 pounds. According to Li Polo's schedule, it will take at least one month to get a formal driver's license.
Lisana also found him a second-hand car and practiced with him for a few days, patiently guiding this novice driver to get started.
After two days of practice, Li Polo gave a professional evaluation:
"After all, it's just a second-hand car. Not only is it less comfortable, but the noise from the vibration is too loud. It feels like it could fall apart at any time, so it's not suitable for strenuous exercise."
Lisanna punched him in dissatisfaction:
"This car is just for you to practice. I don't like doing exercises in a car at all!"
Li Polo glanced at her and showed her the towel he had just used to wipe the back seat:
"You're all right, but these wet towels seem to have something to say."
Lisanna was finally defeated by him. Her face blushed slightly, and she managed to say:
"By the way, do you want to spend Christmas with me at my house this year?"
…
During this national team competition week, Wimbledon only had one day off before continuing to participate in various competitions.
On November 11, they travelled to an away game again, preparing to challenge their third round opponent in the English Championship, Bristol City.
To some extent, this game is particularly eye-catching.
Because this is a match between the top of English League Two and the top of English League One!
Bristol Rovers, which competes in the English League One, ranks first in the standings with 36 points after 16 rounds, 5 points ahead of Milton Keynes and Preston, which are tied for second place. The situation is very similar to that of Wimbledon in the English League Two.
But if you look at their record of 10 wins, 6 draws, 33 goals scored and only 17 goals conceded, this stability seems to be even stronger than Wimbledon!
Nearly 4 months into the season, Bristol has not lost a single game!
Their dominance in the English League One is evident!
After all, Bristol City don’t have any players who use cheats to play…
"This is a strong opponent. They have played in the Championship for many years and even had the hope of being promoted to the Premier League. Last season's relegation to League One was just an accident, so don't think they are only one level higher than us, but two levels."
At the last team meeting, head coach Adlay warned the players:
"The scary thing about this team is that there are almost no weaknesses on both offense and defense. The four players on the defense are all in their prime. In the midfield and frontcourt, several attackers have the ability to end the game. There are as many as five players who have scored more than five goals in the league. You can't even be sure which side they are attacking from. Therefore, everyone must cheer up and complete their tasks 100%!"
After he finished speaking, Cox added a few words:
"The good news is that their main left winger Wade Elliott received a red card in the third minute of the last game and will certainly not be able to play today. The pressure on our right side will definitely be reduced. Barry, you can boldly move forward and participate in the attack."
Fuller is already gearing up for the fight:
"OK, everyone pass the ball to me, I want a hat trick too!"
Not only did Li Polo roll his eyes, but everyone else also made disdainful noises:
"cut!"
Even the vice-captain Smith, who used to wear the same pants as him, raised his middle finger:
"We only have one Polo Lee at Wimbledon! Just focus on being a good assist man!"
Old captain Fuller felt very disappointed.
[I, the captain, am just a figurehead!]
No one respects me at all! 】
