The biggest fanatic in football

Bragging and talking nonsense while drinking is probably a common problem among men all over the world, and it’s nothing to make a fuss about.

Anyway, in Lee Polo's eyes, the captain of the team who made such a big deal last night showed up at the training ground the next day like nothing happened, and was even more cordial and hospitable than usual.

Smith, Phillips, Akinfenwa and others also rallied around him as always, working together to train as if they didn't even remember what happened last night.

This is probably the world of adults.

After the training session, Li Polo met two strange men outside the court.

Seeing him walking out of the field, one of them took the lead in extending his right hand:

"Hello, I am Liu Chuan, from China's largest sports newspaper "Sports Weekly". This is photographer Tang Feng. We have just asked for the club's permission and want to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Is it convenient for you?"

Although from another perspective, such a question is not particularly polite, but...Li Polo didn't care at all.

How many games has he played?

Are there any media interviews?

Thank you Manchester United!

He secretly took a breath to calm down his excitement, and then answered hesitantly:

"I'm happy to accept interviews from China, but... I just finished training and haven't had dinner yet..."

Liu Chuan and Tang Feng looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Because the other party did not speak English with a Cockney accent, but authentic Mandarin, and even had a bit of a Northeastern accent!

Liu Chuan immediately laughed:

"I have also stayed in London for four or five years. I know there is a Chinese restaurant with quite authentic taste. We can have a good chat while eating."

-

Two hours later, Li Poluo could no longer eat.

He was very satisfied with the first interview in his life.

A sumptuous dinner, familiar local accent conversation, and the other party's offer of an "interview fee" equivalent to one week's salary made him unable to be picky anymore.

For Liu Chuan, he is also very satisfied with this interview. All the questions he prepared before have been answered here. After going back and sorting it out a little, it will be a fresh and hot report, and it is definitely the only one!

He had already thought of several titles:

"Shocking England! He was the number one contributor to the massacre of Manchester United!"

"Powerful aerial dominance! Spanish goalkeeper De Gea has been reduced to a background!"

"The King of Japan is eclipsed! The young Chinese player dominates the 'Asian Derby'!"

"The glory of Chinese players, the first to capture Manchester United!"

"The weekly salary is only 300 pounds! Are the multi-millionaires in the Chinese Super League ashamed?"

"In-depth exclusive analysis, the growth path of crazy gang geniuses!"

…

Liu Chuan burped, took the invoice from the front desk, and shook hands with Li Polo for the last time:

"I wish you all the best at Wimbledon. Maybe one day, you will really become a superstar. At that time... this interview of mine will be extremely precious!"

He smiled very happily, but even he didn't believe what he said.

Superstar?

Is it still too far away from the fourth level?

Rather than looking forward to him, it is better to pay attention to Wei Shihao, Li Yuanyi, Liu Yiming, Wang Chengkuai, and Xu Xin in Madrid who are active in Portuguese football!

Isn't their future more worth looking forward to than the amateur player who became a monk halfway?

Li Polo also smiled and waved goodbye to him:

"This day won't last long."

-

Two days later, on August 30, New Wimbledon ushered in its last opponent in August, Stevenage.

Captain Fuller regained his starting position after returning to health, while Lee Polo could only sit on the bench for 90 minutes.

As a team that was relegated from English League One last season, Stevenage's overall strength is quite strong, and it quickly formed a confrontation with Wimbledon. The two sides went back and forth, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

Perhaps feeling the pressure of competition, Fuller's performance in this game was particularly brave. Not only did he defend the right side of the penalty area, but he also sent a key cross to help Aziz score the decisive goal.

The team won the fifth round of the league with a score of 3:2.

Fuller, who scored the second-highest score on the team, also breathed a sigh of relief:

Although the game was full of twists and turns and very thrilling, at least he didn't make a comeback at the last moment, otherwise he would really have been laughed to death by others.

After five rounds, the Kuang Gang, who had won all five games, finally surpassed other competitors and climbed to the top of the standings, surprising the entire league.

But despite this, public opinion is still not optimistic about their future this season. After all... the entire English League Two schedule is as long as 46 rounds. Smooth sailing in the first five rounds does not explain any problems at all.

However, everyone at Wimbledon was very satisfied, and head coach Adelai once again praised everyone's performance:

"I have been a coach for ten years, and this is the first time I have won seven consecutive victories in all competitions. You are definitely the best group of players I have ever coached!"

He looked at the energetic Fuller and Lee Polo and nodded secretly:

"I know that a good competitive atmosphere has been formed in the team, which is a good thing, but there is no need to be too impatient. We have enough games. As long as we train hard and maintain good condition, everyone will get enough opportunities to play.

!”

His assistant Cox took over the topic:

"Those Premier League teams will always complain that they have a devilish schedule of two games a week every December, but they have never thought that we teams in League One and League Two have a much closer schedule than them.

!”

There are only 38 rounds in the Premier League, 8 fewer than English League Two, and domestic cup competitions such as the League Cup and FA Cup are also played less. What’s more... Lee Polo just learned that his team still needs

Competing in another lower level competition - the English League Championship!

The FA Cup is open to all professional and amateur teams in England. The League Cup is divided into four levels: Premier League, Championship, League One, and League Two. Only 92 professional league teams can participate. The so-called English Championship is

There are only 24 English League One and 24 English League Two teams, with a total of 46 teams participating, a typical low-level tournament!

Li Polo couldn't help but want to complain:

Go and step on Nonai’s FA!

What are you doing with all these fancy events?

Do you have to highlight your presence?

Why can't we learn from the Chinese Football Association and make things simpler?

Those low-level competitions don’t have much profit, right?

-

Complaints are complaints, Lee Polo is not annoyed at all by such a dense schedule.

Just kidding, if you only play one game a week, the physically fit veteran captain Fuller will probably be able to play all the games. How will he have a chance to play by then?

On the last day of August, Lee Polo received his first salary after becoming a professional player.

Starting from July 26th, you will clock in for five weeks, with a basic salary of 300*5=1500.

Appeared in 5 games (4 starting games, 1 substitute game), appearance fee 20*5=100.

Winning bonus: 20*5500 (extra bonus for beating Manchester United) = 600.

Defensive clean sheet bonus: 10*3=30

Goal bonus: 20*3=60.

If you add in the interview fee of 300 yuan, he earned a total of 2,590 pounds in August!

Equivalent to more than 27,000 RMB!

Note: After defeating Manchester United in the League Cup, this game was the highlight of the official live broadcast. The Mad Gang received a TV broadcast revenue share of 150,000 pounds, and their operating revenue in the previous season was only a few hundred thousand.
