football's number one madman

Chapter 53 Be a good defender

"You monster, I am convinced."

During the intermission, Aziz came to rub Li Polo's shoulders, as if willing to be his younger brother.

Li Polo didn't enjoy it for 10 seconds, when he saw Adrey walk into the locker room with a stern face, and directly criticized himself:

"Have you forgotten, who is the head coach of this team?"

[Is this coach really narrow-minded? 】

Li Poluo scratched his neck, stood up obediently and admitted his mistake:

"Uh, coach, it's my fault."

Accomplice Reeves also hangs his head waiting for criticism.

Adele waved his hand:
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to scold people, but as the price for acting without authorization, you must accept punishment!"

Lee Polo and Riverston were a little nervous.

The opponent is the head coach after all!
The most feared thing for players, of course, is being banned from participating in the game!
I only heard Adelaide clear his throat:

"Sit me on the bench for the second half, and I will suspend you for 45 minutes!"

Reeves breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted with a hippie smile:

"Yes, boss!"

Lee Polo weakly raised his right hand:

"Coach, can I sit in the stands? I can see it more clearly and reflect on my mistakes more deeply."

Adrey ignored him, just glanced around.

Cox was a little puzzled:
"What are you looking for?"

Adrey gritted his teeth and said:
"I remember there was an iron bar in the locker room, I wanted to give this bastard a shot!"
-
With the 17-year-old Sweeney coming off the bench, Lee Polo, who was sent to the stands, sat next to Lisanna.

He just sat down when he received a message in his mind:
[Negative emotions from Seven Altman, +2! 】

【What the hell? 】

He froze for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

At this time, it was approaching evening, and there was no light flashing in the dim sky...

While shaking his head, he casually signed a jersey for a fan next to him, then stretched out his arms and hugged his girlfriend, without saying a word, it was a deep kiss.

Lisanna pushed him away a little panting:

"Wow, you smell so sweaty!"

Li Poluo raised his arm subconsciously, but he couldn't smell anything at all.

Instead, Lisanna said shyly:

"But... I really like the smell."

Mira wished she could put her elbow on her best friend's face:
"I'm so sour, we still have to watch the ball!"

Unexpectedly, Lisanna stood up holding Li Polo's arm,

"Then you can watch it for a while, anyway, the game is won, we are going on a date!"

Mira, who was sitting there dumbfounded, could only accuse Lisanna's brother of her best friend's crimes:
"Is that too much?"

Mike shrugged, not only did not comfort her, but wanted to take advantage of it:

"Actually, Lisanna is right. You should also find a man. For example...can you consider me?"

Mira quickly folded her hands on her chest:
"Oh, no, Mike, I've always regarded you as my brother!"
-
Lee Polo, who only played half of the game, vented all his remaining energy in the second half.

When the next day came and he went to the training ground in good spirits, Lisanna almost drove off the highway because of her weak legs.

Assistant coach Cox took him aside:
"I think it is necessary to remind you that even if you are substituted, it is best to stay after the game. Our team is a team, don't let other teammates feel that you have other ideas."

For Cox's criticism, Li Polo accepted all of it, and then he heard the assistant coach lower his voice:

"The boss has agreed to insert your back row as a regular offensive routine for the team, understand?"

Li Poluo raised his face slightly, a little surprised:
"understand!"

Since it is a routine routine, it means that I will have more performance opportunities in the future!

These two coaches are really discerning!
It's a pity to only dawdle in the League Two!
-
It is not uncommon for defenders to advance forward and participate in offensive tactics, but most of them are full-backs, and central defenders need to stabilize their defense more and cannot leave their positions easily.

But everything is not absolute, such as the two famous players in German football:

"Football Emperor" Beckenbauer, and Mathias Sammer.

They are all full of honors. In the era when forward superstars were everywhere, they won the Golden Globe Award as a defender and achieved a green legend with a free agent style.

And after the two Germans, there are also central defenders like Blanco, Passarella, Koeman, and De Boer who can step up to end the game at critical moments...

If only the number of goals is compared, the offensive ability of these seniors may be stronger than that of Terry, Luiz, Hummels, Ramos, and Pique of the younger generation in active service!
Of course, if you want to take on such a tactical task, you naturally have higher requirements for the players, and you also need your teammates to be willing to wipe his ass for him. Otherwise, when Lee Polo advances to attack, once the opponent counterattacks, the defensive area he is responsible for It will become a key target in minutes!

Three days later, on Tuesday, October 10.

The 4th round of the English League Cup officially started.

Wimbledon's opponent in this round comes from Sheffield United in the League One. The latter is temporarily ranked 7th in the League One standings, only 6 points away from the top of the list. It is also a popular team to hit the promotion places.

There is no harm without comparison. Milton Keynes, who was beaten 3-0 by Wimbledon just half a month ago, ranks fourth in the League One standings. His offensive and defensive performance is better than Sheffield United. One chip...

Milton, who played all the main players, failed to take advantage of the king's grass court. How could Sheffield United, who adopted a half-main and half-rotation lineup, retreat unscathed?

This cannot be blamed on the opponent's underestimation of the enemy. After all, the schedule of League One is also dense. Faced with the question of whether to advance to the cup or ensure promotion to the British Championship, Sheffield may not need to be too entangled.

Of course, if the opponent is a Premier League giant such as Manchester United or Chelsea, Sheffield will definitely go all out even for the TV broadcast share, but... the opponent is just a lower-level team, and promotion and elimination are for them. It seemed insignificant.

The absent-minded No. 7 in League One meets the No. [-] in League Two who is going all out. The difference in individual player strength is completely offset at this moment, especially Wimbledon has Akinfenwa, a big killer in the penalty area!
Akinfenwa made a great contribution in the first half. His strong body directly beat the opponent's two central defenders to cry without tears. He even caused a series of car accidents in a normal fight. Sheffield's 180 million goalkeeper Borat also retired due to injury...

I have to admit that although Akinfenwa didn't run fast, jump high, and react only so-so, when he charged into the restricted area with his [-]-pound tendons, there were no three or four strong men who couldn't stop him at all. he!
In the second half of the game, Adele pointed the flag, and the Kuangbang began to test the offensive routine that had just been included in the plan.

The two wingers tried to make a bottom pass, while the midfielder and striker opened up room for Lee Polo to sprint.

Since Sheffield didn't have time to study the tactical play of the opponent's last game-maybe they really couldn't get the video of the game-when Wimbledon changed their tactics, they were instantly stunned!
When Li Polo appeared in the penalty area, the goalkeeper who came off the bench did not respond!
The only fly in the ointment... Lee Polo's 20-point shooting attribute didn't play any role. His 12-yard shot did not hit the spot at all, and the football flew directly to the corner flag area!

Aziz finally found a reason to work hard. He patted his roommate on the shoulder with a half-smile, and offered his encouragement:

"Good kick, at least forward!"

Li Boluo, who was furious and angry, spat, but couldn't find any words to refute.

Reeves, who sent him the pass, couldn't help shaking his head:

"Brother, you'd better be a defender. If you really can't do it, you'd better use your header instead of your feet!"

Li Poluo punched him in the chest:
"It's all because you passed the ball too low! Did you let me head the ball close to the ground?"
