The biggest fanatic in football

"Mr. Ardley, how do you feel now?"

Although it was only the first round of the League Cup, the organizers still set up a post-match press conference - of course, there were only four or five media in the entire venue.

Facing reporters' questions, Adre did not hide his true feelings and even smiled:

"Yes, this feeling is so good, I almost want to fly into the sky! I definitely don't want to touch my wife again in one day, because the two feelings are too different!"

Home team coach Robinson couldn't help but frown:

[After all, he is the head coach of a low-level team, and he shows his vulgar standards every time he speaks. 】

But...what can I do?

Who made you lose to him at home?

In competitive sports, winners and losers, no matter how unhappy you are, you can only blame yourself!

Just listen to the reporter continue to ask:

"You encountered great difficulties at one time. What made you catch up and complete the reversal in the second half?"

Adele nodded vigorously:

"It is true that the team captain left the field due to injury, the young substitute was given a red card, and the away game conceded two goals in a row. This first half was like a nightmare, but..."

The head coach continued with firm eyes:

"Back in the dressing room, I told the players that Wimbledon is never a team that gives up easily, not to mention... our opponent is Milton Keynes! We must show the spirit of the crazy gang and be worthy of the blue jersey.

The robe is worthy of those die-hard fans who travel with the team!"

Robinson pouted:

[If I hadn’t underestimated the enemy and been careless, it would be useless no matter how much fighting spirit and spirit you have!]

-

While Adre was still adding his own drama impassionedly, Lee Polo, who had changed his clothes, had already started the post-match settlement.

Although he only played more than 50 minutes in the second half, as the team's "shortcoming", he suffered the most intense siege from the opponent for a long time, so he also produced quite excellent defensive data.

5 interceptions, 3 steals, 1 header clearance, 6 fouls, and 1 yellow card.

Of course, he also caused the opponent's offensive core Dele Alli to be injured, caused the opponent's central defender to receive a red card, and scored the final buzzer-beater that determined the outcome!

With this performance, he also completed a wave of crazy harvest from the entire Milton Keynes team, from the coach to the players, contributing up to 61 points of negative emotions to him!

You know, in the first round of the league, he started and played the entire game, and only gained 36 emotion points!

It’s still fun to be a mortal enemy!

Seeing the huge increase in experience bar, Li Polo felt a sense of relief in his heart.

An emotionless electronic voice sounded in my ears again:

[Current level: lv1, total experience: 129/100, total score of seven attributes: 368/700, talent skill: Eagle Eye lv1 (16/100). Do you want to upgrade immediately? 】

He chose to nod without hesitation.

There was another "ding" in my mind:

[Current level: lv2, total experience: 129/1000...]

Li Poluo was stunned:

"Isn't it too confusing? The upgrade experience of the second level is ten times that of the first level?!"

Electronic Sound ignored him and just continued to ask:

【Do you want to redeem 5 points to upgrade attribute points? 】

Li Polo hesitated for a second:

"Can't I redeem new skills?"

After this thrilling game, he was particularly eager to gain offensive abilities!

If the last long-distance attack could lead to a direct goal, there would be no need to gamble on another corner kick attack.

Electronic Sound answered him without hesitation:

[Currently no permission! Please choose to redeem 5 attribute points, or exchange it for 50 experience points of existing skills. 】

Li Polo did not hesitate this time:

"Exchange 5 attribute points."

The seven attributes in front of him suddenly became three-dimensional, and each number was waiting for his "favour".

Speed:76.

Ball possession: 45.

Shots:19.

Passes: 23.

Defense: 68.

Body:74.

Spirit:63.

Total score:372/700.

Li Polo took two deep breaths and completed the choice with his consciousness:

“Defense:68→73.

Total score:368→373/700.”

He focused all the 5 attribute points he just obtained on defense!

Instead of strengthening your poor offensive capabilities, you should do your job first!

-

An hour later, it was 11pm London time.

Li Polo was dragged by other teammates to a nearby bar.

Of course he knows very well that as a professional player, he should try to have as little contact with alcohol as possible, but... in a fourth-level club, who will care about you so much?

Defeating and eliminating a mortal enemy at their home court is truly worthy of celebration. What’s more, the high-spirited head coach Adelai who just spoke at the press conference personally promised:

"There is no alcohol ban or curfew tonight, no one will come home until they are drunk!"

Of course, with the financial strength of this group of players, whose weekly salary is less than 2,000 yuan, it is simply not enough to rent out the most luxurious entertainment venues in London. What they choose is just a public bar.

Barry Fuller, the veteran captain who attended the party injured, was the first to raise his glass:

"Guys, I'm sorry to have to leave injured in such an important game. I really wanted to beat Milton Keynes myself. I'm glad you didn't let me down!"

"Oh ho!"

Someone made a strange scream, and the box was filled with the sound of clinking wine glasses.

Fuller raised his chin towards Li Polo:

"Little guy, you played well."

Li Polo was not modest at all and responded to him with a loud laugh:

"Captain, you and the vice-captain should recuperate together. I will guard the right side for you!"

Under the dim light, he didn't notice that Fuller's face seemed to become darker.

But the prompt that followed made him very clear:

【Negative Emotions from Barry Fuller 2!】

Li Poluo was surprised:

Why are you still receiving negative emotions when you are clearly no longer in the competition?

Is this the change after the upgrade?

-

The New Wimbledon Club, which had been partying all night long, had to cancel its training plan for the next day. Until the morning of the third day, some people still showed up at the training base drunk.

"Good morning, gentlemen. There is no time for you to sober up. There are less than 60 hours until the next game."

Assistant coach Cox yawned, rubbed his nose, and turned to Li Polo:

"Unfortunately, we have to lose our captain, Barry Fuller, and his first substitute, Adedeji Osraja, at right back... I'm afraid I can only rely on you."

Fuller will be injured for at least three weeks, and Osraja's red card will make him suspended for three games, which means that Lee Polo automatically becomes the team's first choice at right back in the next league game!

Get a starter for nothing!

Faced with the coach's expectations, Li Polo nodded calmly in response.

Seeing that the players are in good condition, head coach Adre is not happy at all:

"Our schedule this month will be very tight, which is equivalent to experiencing the devil's schedule in advance. There are two games every week. This start may be a bit difficult for us."

Mark Phillips, the only remaining third captain, expressed his determination on behalf of the players:

"We can even beat League One teams like Milton Keynes, so you don't have to worry too much about our league opponents."

Adele's eyes became even more melancholy:

"I'm not worried about the league. What I'm worried about now is... the second round of the League Cup."

Phillips was stunned for a moment:

"Has the result of the draw come out? Who is our opponent?"

Adrei scratched his hair hard:

"Manchester United."

After hearing this name, the training ground suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Adelai and Cox looked at each other, each showing a wry smile.

Such a reaction is absolutely normal!

Manchester United, referred to as... Manchester United.

They are different from Milton Keynes. They are the top giants team in England, Europe and the world, and they are the unique overlord in the Premier League era!

Behemoth, aircraft carrier!

Even if... Ferguson just retired a year ago, even if Manchester United played in a mess last season, it will not affect Manchester United's status in the British Isles at all!

Looking at the silent players, Cox coughed and broke the deadlock:

"The game against Manchester United is in two weeks. Considering our intensive schedule, this game can be appropriately rotated..."

Although he said "appropriate rotation", everyone could hear that he meant "just give up"!

"Coach, I disagree."

Third captain Phillips stood up directly:

"Why can't we fight with all our strength?"

Cox was stunned:

"Go all out against Manchester United?"

Phillips grinned:

"We... are a crazy gang! Even if they are a giant in the Premier League, what is there to fear?"

As a veteran player of the team, he understands the traditional temperament of the team better than the first and second captains. Under his leadership, Akinfenwa, Dubis, Rigg, Francon and others also expressed their approval.

:

"Yes, we are not afraid of Manchester United!"

"Manchester United will definitely look down on us. We can definitely catch him by surprise!"

"Yes, yes, Manchester United has just changed coaches and is still in the rebuilding stage. We have a chance to win!"

It doesn't matter to Lee Polo, Fuller is still recuperating anyway, and regardless of rotation or not, there will probably still be a place for him on the back line.

He also fully understands the mood of his teammates.

Cup competitions such as the League Cup and the FA Cup have always been called "hotbeds of unpopularity". Those Premier League giants often overturn low-level teams. Many players enter the public eye by virtue of their "explosive performance" in beating the giants.

Thus completing the transformation of the carp leaping over the dragon gate and reaching the sky in one step...

Facing the players who had already begun to discuss the probability of winning, Cox could only ask the head coach for help. Ardrey shrugged:

"Since you all think so, I have to respect everyone. But... the premise is that the previous three league rounds must not be too poor. If it affects the league results, we will still have to rotate."

The players cheered without thinking:

"That's natural!"

Seeing the smile that finally appeared on Adele's face, Li Polo suddenly understood:

【This guy was fishing from the beginning, right? 】

【Today in history】

In the 2014-15 season, in the first round of the English League Cup, Milton Keynes defeated New Wimbledon 3:1. Milton's opponent in the second round was Manchester United.
