Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 88 Let Him Kill the Game!
I originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but I am a conscientious writer.
……---
Lamela's appearance did bring new vitality to Tottenham's offense, but he was only active for 8 minutes before Li Polo taught him a lesson in cruel reality.
However, in order to strengthen the defensive strength in the middle, Adre also made substitutions:
He replaced the 36-year-old midfielder Bulman with the young and strong central defender Goodman, and pushed Li Polo to the position of defensive midfielder.
Reeves, who was sitting on the bench, was somewhat disappointed to find out:
[After Li Polo was moved to midfield by the head coach, his own playing time...seemed to be compressed again! ]
But Adre certainly had valid reasons.
Li Polo's talent in frontal interception is unique, and even if he commits a foul in the defensive midfielder position, the referee will be more tolerant and the probability of getting a card will be lower than that of a central defender. This is simply the position where he can best display his defensive ability!
Reeves, with a height of 1.73 meters and a physique that can be knocked down by a collision, can you do his dirty and tiring work?
…
When Li Polo moved forward five or six meters, both Kane and Lamela felt a sense of despair.
Originally, Kane could still receive the pass from his teammates by retreating, but now, Li Polo can directly defend him closely, and it is not safe to retreat to receive the ball!
As for Lamela, he did not enjoy the same treatment as Kane, but as soon as he saw Li Polo, he felt a dull pain in his right foot!
The center was completely blocked, and Tottenham could only launch attacks from both sides.
After holding out for 66 minutes, Smith on the left was replaced by the young Kennedy. Walker and Townsend's alternating attacks were too fierce, and Eriksen often moved to the side, so the 32-year-old deputy captain of the Crazy Gang could only be defeated.
There were more than 20 minutes left in the game and Adre only had one substitution left. He was visibly getting nervous.
The impact of Tottenham's two flanks is even greater than that of Southampton before!
After all, in that game of Saints, Mane was the only explosive point, while Tottenham, with all its main players, had four supercars!
[Damn the English Football Association! ]
Adley couldn't help but curse.
[If the English Football Association had not insisted on using the standards of sprinters to select youth players over the past decade, how could Tottenham have so many players who can run forever? ]
However, he should actually be thankful.
If Gareth Bale had not transferred to Real Madrid, Wimbledon's defense... would probably have been broken in the first half!
…
In the 74th minute, right-back Fuller finally couldn't hold on any longer. After a sprint slide tackle, he lay on the ground with a cramp in his right leg. Adre could only grit his teeth and replace the 31-year-old captain with Osraja.
At this time, Pochettino also directly used the two cards in his hand:
Soldado and Paulinho came on as substitutes, while Townsend and Dembele came off the bench to rest.
Although he was deeply disappointed with Soldado, he was at least a high point on the front line and could help Kane attract defensive pressure. The "violent bird", who was also not used to the Premier League, was said to have a world-class goal.
What if they suddenly have a flash of inspiration, wouldn't the game be revived?
In football matches, luck is sometimes a factor, and many goals and losses are often the result of a flash of inspiration.
For example, Benzema and Karius would definitely agree with the above statement.
…
Unfortunately, neither Soldado nor Paulinho had the same good luck as Benzema.
Perhaps it’s because they haven’t taken enough blame before and haven’t accumulated enough good reputation.
Eriksen, Walker and Rose sent the ball into the penalty area time and time again, but their forwards just couldn't convert it into a goal.
Paulinho also kicked the ball twice outside the penalty area, but his shot was so off target today that his own fans couldn't help but boo:
"I've seen enough, let's sell it!"
"With this level, neither the Chinese Super League nor the Indian Super League will want you!"
Paulinho, who was becoming less and less confident, simply stopped attacking and hid beside Akinfenwa like an invisible man...
Seeing that other teammates were not performing well, Eriksen had to step up on his own in the 86th minute.
He wanted to transform from an organizational core to an offensive core, providing fatal assists to his teammates, or simply scoring goals himself.
There is not much time left for Tottenham. If they don’t change the score, they will be even more passive in the second round away from home!
With the advantage of away goals, Wimbledon can completely set up a solid defense at the King's Meadow. Tottenham, who originally lack offensive capabilities, can only stare at their iron wall!
"Guys, step up the cross-running and help me create some space!"
Taking advantage of an out-of-bounds ball opportunity, he conveyed his intentions to several teammates in the frontcourt.
Several players who had been running for more than 80 minutes couldn't help but frown, but still accepted his proposal.
After all, not everyone is Adebayo or Balotelli, and professional players must have basic sportsmanship.
Chadli threw the ball out of bounds and Eriksen passed it back to Walker. The right-back was not very confident in his cross and just kicked the ball more than 40 meters away, finding Rose whose cross was slightly more reliable.
But at this time, Rose's legs were a little weak. After dribbling the ball for ten meters, he gave up the idea of passing the ball and pushed the ball to Paulinho.
[You only played for 10 minutes, and you have more energy than me. This is your fault, no, this ball is yours! ]
Paulinho was smart this time. He didn't covet the ball and passed it directly to Eriksen who was waving at him.
Alfie Porter, the main midfielder of the Mad Gang, rushed towards him at the first moment, but was dodged by a light Marseille turn, and even collided with Rigg who was following closely behind him, and immediately the two teammates fell to the ground!
【Chance!】
A space suddenly appeared next to Eriksen. He pushed the ground hard with his feet, preparing to move forward a few steps with the ball. As long as he got close to the penalty area, he would be within his shooting range!
But he had just taken two steps when he saw the opponent's No. 1 player give up Kane and Lamela and rush towards him!
[Can't waste time fighting him alone! ]
Eriksson, whose physical strength had already reached the bottom, was very clear-headed. He could not lose the ball at this time, otherwise this offensive would end here. He aimed between Li Polo's legs and made a straight pass!
[What the hell?! ]
Even with Eagle Eye activated, Li Polo was still easily penetrated by his opponent and almost collapsed!
If he hadn't had a clear mind, he would have even wanted to knock Eriksen to the ground and take revenge on the spot!
Fortunately, the trajectory of this attack still remains in my mind.
He clearly felt that Eriksen's pass...didn't even enter the penalty area!
Osraja, who replaced Li Polo as a central defender, somehow bypassed Soldado and intercepted the through ball!
Phillips, who had no defensive tasks, immediately rushed to the landing point and kicked the ball forward!
Eriksen, who was still sprinting towards the penalty area, was stunned for a moment and his legs couldn't help but go limp.
[Damn it! ]
[I defeated the toughest guy, but was stopped by an unknown person when I was only one step away from success? ]
[The football field...isn't it too cruel? ]
“Shh, shhh!!!”
Before he could finish his sigh, he heard overwhelming noise coming from the stands around him.
More than 30,000 home fans booed the figure running at high speed!
[Is it... that number 1? ]
Erickson was stunned for a moment. It was only 2 seconds ago that they last met.
But 2 seconds later, the distance between them had widened to more than ten meters?
[That guy, when he was penetrated in the crotch ...he had already started to speed up and sprint? ]
Eriksson began to doubt his own IQ:
[How did he know... that my pass would be intercepted?!]
Is he the Torres who faced Barcelona?
…
"attack!"
Adderley and Cox stood up suddenly.
They rushed to the court and let out the craziest shouts.
They all forgot one thing at this moment.
This No. 1 player who is running at full speed is almost the one with the worst basic skills in the team!
But... who cares?
Can't you just enjoy yourself now?
…
Li Polo certainly knew his weakest point, but that didn't affect his crazy sprint at all.
Since the first game he played for the Kuang Gang, he has always believed that "riches and honors are sought in danger" and "a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle if you try hard"!
If I had always stayed in the back line, I would at most be named the best defender in English League Two, and I would never have achieved what I have today!
In this cruel green field, only by scoring goals and winning continuously can you win more attention!
Is Ramos strong enough?
But if it weren't for those lore-inducing goals, in the eyes of non-Real Madrid fans, he would at most be a backcourt butcher who defends fiercely and destroys people every day!
Looking up at the ball still flying in front of him, Li Polo suddenly wanted to thank his old partner.
If Phillips hadn't kicked the ball so straight but directly out of the sideline, he would have had to go home and rest.
"Orge on, boy!"
Akinfenwa, the only one standing near the center circle, opened his arms and pulled Vertonghen and Dyer, who wanted to return to defense, to the left and right.
Tottenham's two central defenders tried to break free, but found themselves as if they were clamped tightly by two iron clamps!
"Referee! Isn't this a red card?"
They could only turn to the referee for help, but Akinfenwa immediately loosened the clamp, and the two defenders who were caught off guard staggered and even fell to the ground.
Akinfenwa's little move lasted only a second, but it was enough to disrupt the defender's rhythm.
Now, no one can catch up with Li Polo!
Except...the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal, Hugo Lloris!
"Lee caught up with the pass. He had to slow down. His dribbling was a little uncoordinated, but he was still a huge threat to the goalkeeper! Lori rushed out of the penalty area. They were less than ten feet apart. It was a one-on-one contest between a... central defender and a goalkeeper!"
BBC commentator Lineker described it with some disbelief:
"I've never seen anything so crazy!"
But a scene that made him feel even crazier appeared.
This legendary English striker, who has scored more than 300 goals in his career, watched a League Two player do two bicycle kicks while dribbling the ball!
"Continuous cycling? Kind of clumsy, like a real amateur player...Oh no!"
Lineker's speech speed has become faster than ever before, so fast that he can't hear every word clearly:
"Lori was shaken off by him!"
The bicycle kicking technique is not difficult at all. The difficult part is how to successfully deceive the opponent while dribbling the ball.
But perhaps because he had seen too many gorgeous dribbling skills, the experienced Lori actually made a wrong judgment when faced with Li Polo's clumsy cycling movements!
He made a sliding tackle to the left, but Li Polo's second bicycle move got stuck halfway through!
Lowry flew to the left along the grass, and could only watch Li Polo stagger on the spot, and then... continued to push the ball forward!
[Negative emotions from Hugo Lori, +10! ]
In the distance is the endless grassland.
There was also an empty goal.
The sky above White Hart Lane suddenly fell into silence at this moment!
Dyer and Vertonghen, who were still trying hard to chase back, slid to their knees on the grass.
[Dale, +5]
[Vertonghen, +5]
They could only watch the blue figure staggering to catch up with the football, and then kick it into the empty goal!
Even if the [Shooting] attribute is only 21, who can't shoot into an empty goal?
Adley hugged Cox!
"I knew it was the right decision to play him in midfield!"
The head coach was in high spirits:
"I'm a fucking tactical genius!"
In the 87th minute of the game, Wimbledon, playing away, scored another goal!
2:0!
There are still 3 minutes left for Tottenham Hotspur!
