Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 70: The Most Popular Person in England
What was expected to be just an ordinary press conference made headlines in major British media because of Li Polo's villain declaration.
Some media even gave him a close-up shot, successfully engraving his villainous face in the minds of millions of readers.
Although Li Polo in the picture has a sturdy figure, handsome appearance, a pair of cold eyes and sword-like eyebrows, but with the news title, his smile looks more and more like someone who wants to be beaten.
The Liverpool Echo was the first to criticize:
"Are you crazy about becoming famous? The English League Two youngster openly challenges the Premier League giants!"
The Daily Telegraph seems to be quite objective:
"Wimbledon's performance this season is indeed very good, but it is nothing but a daydream to challenge Liverpool!"
The Financial Times, whose main business is financial analysis, has proposed a more realistic and utilitarian solution:
" The most profitable plan for Wimbledon: draw at home and win another game away!"
- According to the rules of the competition, the venue will be changed for the play-offs after a draw. Anfield obviously has many more seats than King's Meadow. If the broadcasting share is calculated, Wimbledon can earn at least two more Lee Boros.
The Guardian, a famous left-wing angry youth newspaper, directly cursed:
"Gerrard, if you're a man, teach that kid how to play football!"
Even The Times, the UK's top mainstream newspaper, squeezed out a page, and their headline was very short, but more powerful:
“Say no to dark horses!”
The Sun, which has a sworn feud with Liverpool, may be the only media outlet that stands on Lee Polo's side:
"Being laughed at by League Two players? Liverpool deserves it! Rodgers will be silent after hearing this, but Gerrard will cry after hearing this!"
Another one is from Manchester Evening News, which even interviewed Van Gaal, who was beaten up by the Mad Gang before:
"Van Gaal: Today, I am a crazy Gang fan!"
Van Gaal and Manchester United fans certainly don't want their arch-rivals Liverpool to beat Wimbledon!
…
There is no doubt that Li Polo is famous!
Even the social media account that originally had less than 300 followers skyrocketed to more than 10,000 followers within two hours! The growth rate was as high as 5,000%!
You have to know that the entire town of Wimbledon has a permanent population of only 40,000 to 50,000. He has turned 20% of the residents of Wimbledon into his supporters!
His mockery of Liverpool even became one of the top ten hot topics on the English Internet that day, attracting hundreds of thousands of discussions.
If it was just mocking Liverpool, it might not have had such a strong effect, but Manchester United had been beaten up before Wimbledon, which also involved the Red Devils fans, who are the most popular fans in the world, and the show effect was immediately maximized!
The Crazy Gang supporters who were originally besieged by Liverpool fans were soon pleasantly surprised to find that they were not fighting alone and they would never walk alone.
Fans from Manchester United and Everton stood opposite Liverpool without hesitation and launched !
There are even fellow countrymen from Southampton who are throwing stones at Liverpool who are trying to undermine their roots every day:
"We are in the top four and we can't beat Wimbledon. How can you, a middle-class team ranked eighth in the standings, think you can win?"
"Dig, dig, dig. Let you dig out our Lallana, Lovren and Lambert! Now even the English League Two teams dare to laugh at you!"
Liverpool, which lost the league title last season and completely slumped this season, can't make the fans stand up straight. Even their most proud bloody spirit has been lost after the "kneeling defeat" to Real Madrid. They can only retreat step by step under the siege of multiple forces...
There are obviously many more interesting matches in this round of the FA Cup - such as Everton vs West Ham United, Leicester City vs Newcastle, both Premier League teams - but whether it is the media or the Internet, all the focus seems to be on Wimbledon vs Liverpool!
Looking at the overwhelming reports and topics, Li Polo smiled bitterly with some helplessness.
[I worked hard for half a season and played more than 20 games, but the attention I got was not as much as the attention I got by mocking my opponent in a press conference! ]
【Can't you pay attention to things that have positive energy for society? 】
[Can't you pay attention to the infrastructure of the teams in the lower leagues and the treatment of the players? ]
[Why do you want to hype up a sentence I just said casually? ]
[What about your sense of social responsibility as uncrowned kings? ]
【What happened to the society of the British Empire? 】
[But...isn't this good? ]
…
"Wow, our big star is really popular now!"
Looking at the topics that kept coming up on the Internet, Lisanna couldn't help but tease her boyfriend.
Li Polo laughed noncommittally and picked up the last piece of steak on the plate:
"You better be careful. When I become really famous, I will have to look for celebrity models."
Lisanna blinked and showed a cute frightened expression:
"I'm really scared!"
Li Polo, who was about to drink some red wine to moisten his throat, even received a call from the club's CEO Powell:
"My goodness, you are so popular now. I have been working at Wimbledon for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have received an invitation for a commercial endorsement!"
The manager told him cheerfully:
"The largest local shopping mall has made a formal offer to the club. They want you to be the mall's image spokesperson. The relevant fee is at least 100 hundred dollars!"
100 times 100 equals 10,000. Even for Li Polo, who had over 100,000 in bank deposits, that was not a small sum. After all, he had taken an advance payment on his salary for the entire season, and could only make ends meet by eating and drinking at the club.
After all, the biggest bonus he had ever seen in his life was only 500 yuan...
However, Li Polo did not agree immediately.
The "first internet celebrity in English football" hesitated for three seconds and responded to the club manager in a pretentious manner:
"Mr. Powell, I'm afraid you'll have to contact my agent for this kind of thing."
[I am a star player with an agent! Why would I personally bargain with you for a 10-pound bonus? ]
The person on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned:
"When did you get an agent? Why didn't you report it to the club?"
This time it was Li Polo who was stunned:
"Ah, do we need to report to the club?"
Powell was a little helpless:
"Of course. Since you have an agent, I will communicate these matters with him. Tell me his name and contact information."
Li Polo coughed:
"Jonathan Barnett. I don't know if you've ever heard of him."
[Look at how awesome I am, the best agent in the UK! ]
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, then it rang again:
"Uh... I haven't heard of it."
[Negative emotions from Li Polo , +5! ]
…
After sending the manager away, Li Polo followed Lisana into the car.
He glanced at the bag of clothes on the back seat and asked casually:
"Isn't today Friday? You still have time to shop?"
Lisanna's face suddenly turned red:
"I asked my friend to buy something for me, but it just arrived today. I'll wear it for you to see when I get to my house."
Seeing her shy expression, Li Polo immediately understood:
"Sexy style?"
Then the female driver stepped on the accelerator and arrived at her own mansion.
The two young men rushed into the bedroom in a hurry without even saying hello to Bruce and Lily.
A few minutes later, Lisanna, who had completed her "sexy dressing", walked out of the dressing room.
Looking at the bright red dress she was wearing, Li Polo was stunned for a moment.
This is not some sexy uniform, this is Liverpool's home jersey!
The red tight top outlines the perfect figure , and is matched with two long socks...
Li Polo swallowed hard.
He could already feel a ball of red flame burning in his lower abdomen.
This girl is quite capable!
