Chapter 108 Target: Wembley!

Wimbledon, without the interference of cup competitions, is almost unstoppable in English League Two.

On April 3, in the 40th round, they defeated 11th-ranked Northampton 4:2 at home. Lee Polo, who continued to be in hot form, had 1 pass and 1 shot.

On April 6, in the 41st round, they rushed to the away game without stopping and defeated 16th-placed Dagenham 2:0, causing the latter to slip two places into the relegation zone...

On April 11, in the 42nd round, the Kuang Gang, who returned to their home court after five days of rest, swept Oxford United 3:0. Lee Polo once again scored a header in the chaos of the penalty area.

On April 14th, in the 43rd round, Wimbledon faced Plymouth, the seventh-placed team in the league, who had the home advantage. Wimbledon, whose lineup had been adjusted, was rarely in a tough battle. However, with Akinfenwa coming into battle, the opponent's defense

In the end, he was cruelly broken.

This 2:1 game gave Adele's team a five-game winning streak in the league, and their score in the standings also climbed to 94 points.

In these 5 rounds of the league, Lee Polo scored a total of 4 goals and 1 pass on the offensive end, continuing to remain the team's top scorer.

A defender has scored the most goals. Powell and Adre not only did not think there was anything wrong with this fact, but instead praised it in front of various media:

"Polo is our ace player!"

"He is the mainstay of Wimbledon's revival!"

Adre also didn’t forget to brag about himself:

"It is precisely because of my discerning eye that he has gone from an unknown amateur player to a professional player. It is also thanks to my careful guidance that he has been able to soar to the sky this season!"

"Welcome all young players to join Wimbledon!"

"Facts have proven that when it comes to coaching young people, I can't beat Van Gaal, Rodgers, and Mourinho!"

Of course, everyone knows that the club’s high-profile promotion of Lee Polo has only one ultimate goal:

Raise your value and sell it at a good price!

After all, regardless of whether Akinfenwa or Dubis, the former is already 33 years old and the latter is also 31 years old. No matter how many goals they score, they will not have much market value in the transfer market.

And young Lee Polo will have more possibilities!

Burton, who had once closed the point difference to only 6 points or even 3 points, had three draws in the five rounds of the league. As of the 43rd round, the second-ranked Burton only scored 85 points.

The gap once again widened to 9 points.

With 3 rounds left in the league and 3 make-up rounds at Wimbledon, the 9-point gap already means that 99.9999% of the Crazy Gang will win the English League Two championship trophy this season!

Unless Wimbledon only scores 0 points in the last 6 games, Burton will have a chance to complete the counterattack with the advantage of goal difference!

-

Although there is still a slight danger in theory, both Powell, Adderley, Cox, and the players believe that this league championship is the third championship trophy within their grasp.

After achieving the biggest goal of the season, Wimbledon ushered in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

On April 17, another duel began.

With Chilean Sanchez scoring twice, Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 2:1 in an away game and took the lead in advancing to the final.

One day later, Wimbledon also welcomed their opponent, Bradford from League One.

This is a familiar opponent. As early as the third round of the League Cup in September, Wimbledon played against them once. At that time, Lee Polo, who had not yet qualified for the starting lineup, was forced to sit on the bench for 90 minutes.

Minutes, watching the whole process as the Kuang Gang easily won 2:0.

Now after a season of running-in, Wimbledon's strength has taken a step further, and with the blessing of various championship halos, they play more proactively and confidently.

Even facing the 9th place in English League One, they dared to take the initiative. The two teams played back and forth at the King's Lawn Stadium, and the scene was quite lively.

In just the 14th minute, veteran striker Connolly responded with a header from Franco's cross from the right.

Phillips did not fall behind, and in the 31st minute he and Akinfenwa staged a header alley-oop to expand the score.

Not to be outdone, Lee Polo also saluted his teammates with a header in the 51st minute, completely killing the suspense of the game.

Then Ardrey replaced Aziz and Moore, slowing down the rhythm appropriately and maintaining the 3:0 score until the end.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, third goalkeeper Michael Donal even got a chance to play, which can be regarded as his official debut in the oldest tournament in football.

Seeing the grateful expression on Michael Donal's face, Lee Polo couldn't help but secretly complained:

I have to admit that the coaching combination of Ardrey and Cox is quite good at being a good person.

Although... they blatantly played several games of "tacit understanding".

The three-goal victory over Bradford allowed Ardrey to successfully complete his planned primary goal:

"Enter the FA Cup final!"

As long as you enter the finals, it means another large financial income!

Considering that the standard of the FA Cup is higher than that of the League Cup, the income this time will naturally be higher!

Cox has even sent out a notice in the group:

"According to previous years' practice, we can allocate at least 20,000 final tickets, and each person can apply for a maximum of 10 tickets. Remember to tell me earlier."

On April 21, in the 44th round of the league, Wimbledon faced third-ranked Wycombe Wanderers.

As one of the favorites to compete for the championship, Wycombe certainly did not want their opponents to lift the championship trophy easily. They put up an iron-clad defense in the away game and wanted to resist tenaciously. Even if Lee Polo continuously turned on cheats, they could not win.

A lot of defensive players got the ball over their heads.

At the end of the battle, heavy weapons had to be relied on. Akinfenwa used an unreasonable dribbling break to directly knock two defenders to the ground, and then pushed and scored before the goalkeeper could make a save.

Wycombe's players immediately complained to the referee about Akinfenwa's foul, but the referee still indicated that the goal was valid.

Li Polo comforted them in a very "intimate" way:

"Even if the goal is canceled and we get a draw, it won't affect our championship!"

Not only did his comfort not elicit gratitude from the other party, but he received a wave of negative emotions!

A 1:0 victory over Wycombe was enough for Wimbledon to win the championship in advance. Adelaide also made a bold decision:

"In the next five league games, we may make substantial rotations. Substitute players and youth training players will get more playing opportunities."

Li Polo took a deep look at him and secretly insulted the head coach in his mind:

[You old guy, do you want to take care of your connections in the English League Two again? 】

Adele ignored his gaze and continued:

"Starting today, our tactical analysis class will be entirely focused on Arsenal's characteristics. Let's take a look at their key players first."

Cox opened the screen, and the first thing that appeared was Chilean thigh Sanchez:

"The Chilean, who just joined Arsenal at the beginning of the season, quickly became a core player. As a winger, he scored 15 goals in the Premier League and was Arsenal's top scorer. Speed, explosiveness, dribbling,

His abilities in long-range shots and crosses are very comprehensive, and our full-backs...will have another headache!"

Old captain Fuller couldn't help grinning.

He can already foresee that he will be eliminated by a world-class wide player again!

Cox moves the pieces representing players on the tactical board:

"Since Arsenal's center Giroud does not have a strong scoring ability, in this game, we need to strengthen the interception in the midfield. Therefore, Polo, your position is prerequisite. As a midfielder, you can help defend key parts.

Do you understand?"

Li Polo nodded:

"ok!"

[Although Giroud can occasionally hit magic balls, his overall style is slow and soft, and Phillips and Goodman are barely enough.]

[Compared to bullying Giroud, it is of course more challenging to face off against the stronger Sanchez! 】

Fuller suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and even the look he looked at Li Polo became much gentler.

He had long forgotten that at the beginning of the season, he was somewhat hostile to the young defender who had just arrived...

Cox switched the screen, and two big eyes appeared on the screen:

"Their core organizer, No. 10, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid, is the best passer today. His vision and overall view have always been top-notch. If you want to guard him, it will probably take a lot of effort.

It’s a difficult thing.”

"Coach, you don't have to worry about this."

Li Polo sneered:

"Give me 30 minutes and I'll make him disappear from the court!"
