football's number one madman

Chapter 78 Why Him? (First order for new year)

"The goal has been scored! A direct free kick from the captain of the Red Army!"

Zhan Jun's voice suddenly rose an octave:

"Wimbledon players thought they could rely on rude fouls to stop the progress of the Red Army soldiers, but Gerrard smashed the goal with a heavy blow!"

He even shouted out his own voice:
"John Henry (Liverpool owner), Brendan Rodgers, have you seen that Gerrard can still play! He can continue to lead Liverpool to the Quartet!"
-
"Good guy..."

Adre no longer hesitated, and shortly after the game restarted, he replaced the 36-year-old veteran Boorman with substitute central defender Goodman.

Sure enough, everyone had doubts about his substitution.

Rogers was also a little puzzled:

"Is this trying to imitate me and change to play three central defenders? Is it to stabilize the defense? Or is it to liberate the two wings?"

"Do they really want to save a draw and go to Anfield to earn another TV bill?"

But he immediately realized that he had guessed wrong!

When Goodman and Phillips stood side by side, the No. 1 player actually left his original position!

Rogers couldn't help straightening his back, staring closely at Lee Polo's moving direction:

"That kid... wants to play midfield?"
-
Boorman's end made Philippe Coutinho feel a little relieved.

The entanglement for nearly an hour made the Brazilian "little magician" very bored, and the legs that were shoveled by the opponent 2 minutes ago were still aching.

[But now...you can finally be free, right? 】

He just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a stronger figure appearing in front of him.

【Why him? 】

[Negative sentiment from Coutinho, +2! 】
-
After half a season of training, Lee Polo's defensive skills have also been greatly improved.

From directly shoveling people at the beginning, to connecting the ball and leading people to play together, and then interfering with the opponent through various small moves, he has become more and more proficient in concealment and control.

For example, when Coutinho dribbled the ball this time, the Brazilian originally wanted to pass it straight to Gerrard ten meters away, but Li Polo got stuck in his position ahead of time, and then hit his shoulder, so he easily lost control. possession of the ball.

He can't even complain about fouls!
Although Coutinho had not officially entered the rising period during this period, so that Wimbledon's coaching staff did not pay much attention to him, but Lee Polo, who has the perspective of God, clearly grasped the characteristics of this opponent.

He has the delicate skills of Brazilian players, with first-class ball feel, dribbling, and passing, and he also has a long-range shooting skill of "sticking an arrow to the ground"-but it has not been fully developed yet.

At his peak, Coutinho was even used by supporters to challenge Messi, but his weakness is also obvious:
After playing in the Premier League for two years, he is still very thin. In front of the more aggressive and rougher League Two teams, he lacks enough confrontation ability, and he is a bit naturally restrained.

A few minutes later, after being knocked to the ground by Li Polo again and rolling several times in a row, Coutinho suddenly missed Boorman who was already sitting on the sidelines to rest.

Boorman is 175cm tall and weighs 72kg, which is barely manageable, but the No. 1 player who was replaced later has a height of 181cm and a weight of 76kg. , In front of the 172kg Coutinho, it's like an adult bullying a primary school student!
[This is not the football game I imagined! 】

[Negative sentiment from Coutinho, +10! 】
-
"Since the substitution at Wimbledon, Liverpool's offensive on the left has been completely frozen. Coutinho is obviously being specially targeted, and Markovic can only fight alone, without any threat..."

Lineker quickly saw the situation.

Seeing this situation, Neville is of course very happy:
"After all, he is a player who has successfully defended Januzaj, so it is certainly not a problem to deal with Coutinho!"

Just as Carragher wanted to retort, he saw in the live broadcast that Coutinho, who had just been knocked to the ground, stretched out his right foot and hooked Li Polo's heel...

I saw the hulking No. 1 player immediately fell to the ground straight up like an electric shock!
Carragher:
"...Fu*k!"

Fuller, who was the closest, rushed to the scene of the crime in three steps and two steps, and complained to referee Moss on behalf of the team:

"Mr. Referee, this is an obvious act of revenge!"

Moss took out a yellow card with a serious face and showed it without hesitation.

Coutinho jumped up immediately:

"He hit me three or four times, and you didn't even give me a verbal warning! I didn't use any force at all just now, he was just flopping!"

Moss looked at the desperate Brazilian with pity, and slowly shook his head:

"Young man, his defense is very clean, and your actions are expressly forbidden..."

"Clean you paralyzed!"

Coutinho finally cursed.

Gerrard, who was coming from the right, stopped in frustration.

He had already seen that unsmiling judge in black showed his teammate a second yellow card!
"Coutinho... so restless!"

Zhan Jun, who was thousands of miles away, clenched his fists tightly:

"He got two yellow cards in 20 seconds and Liverpool had to play one less man!"
-
"Fuck, am I really a master tactician?"

Adele on the sidelines was full of surprises and almost became a fool.

His tactical intention is actually very simple. Since the defensive pressure on the right is too great, he dropped Li Boluo, who is the most powerful defender, for support. Unexpectedly, the adjustment just took less than 10 minutes to produce such an immediate effect!

Cox quickly affirmed him:
"Be confident, you are a master tactician! Rogers must be buzzing in his head now!"

Rogers' head was buzzing, he even wanted to tear off the scarf tied around his neck!

He turned around, kicked the baffle of the visiting team's bench, and kept venting his emotions:

"Stupid Brazilians!"

"That bastard referee was obviously blowing the home whistle, and you still insist on finding death!"

"It's no wonder that the Brazilian national team has performed so poorly over the past decade or so. Who are they training?"

Coutinho didn't hear these "killing" remarks. After being expelled from the field, he got into the player tunnel in a daze, just wanting to be alone.

This season, with Suarez's transfer and Sturridge's serious injury, Coutinho gradually ushered in his own highlight moment. Even Liverpool's local youth training Sterling was faintly overwhelmed by him. Although his offensive data is not particularly good, his effect on the team as a whole is clearly visible.

According to the official statistics of the Premier League, with Liverpool's overall dismal record, he is very likely to be selected for the best team of the season, but today he was expelled from the field in front of a mere League Two team?
The more he thought about it, the more angry the Brazilian couldn't help but roared:
"what!"

Lee Polo, who was still receiving treatment on the field, immediately got a telepathy:
[Negative sentiment from Coutinho, +10! 】
-
"Uh, if you are really uncomfortable, you can take a rest."

Moss looked down at Li Polo, who had his eyes closed tightly, and said helplessly.

Because Li Polo was beaten to the point of shock in the first half and vomited in public at one point, the black-clothed judge dared not force him to get up now.

In case the previous shock still had an impact and he got up rashly and caused a concussion, he would not be responsible for it.

Anyway, it's a tie now, and Liverpool won't have too much of a problem with delaying a little time-after all, they now have one less player.

"I'm a little dizzy..."

Li Poluo closed his eyes and described his condition to team doctor Douglas.

The Liverpool team doctor pouted.

[Pretending to be real, Coutinho is not wronged by this card! 】

Douglas nodded, but heard Li Polo say another sentence:
"I'm really dizzy...it's not fake."

Douglas froze for a moment.

【This kid... Did he get into the drama too much and deceived his own nerves? 】
