The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 36

Sometimes, competition between men is really simple.

A game or a numerical value may trigger hostility between two men.

Adelai was keenly aware that there seemed to be something unusual in the locker room these past two days, but after talking to the captain, deputy captain, and several key players, the feedback he received was:

"Everything is normal in the dressing room."

He could only scratch his head and continue to prepare for the next game.

September 27th.

Lee Polo went abroad for the second time in his life - the first time was when he moved to England with his parents from China when he was a child.

This time, he followed the team and drove 200 kilometers from England to Newport, Wales.

Yes, this counts as cross-border travel!

As the third largest city in Wales, Newport has a permanent population of 145,000 and is much more prosperous than small towns like Wimbledon.

Because the distance is so close, Wimbledon does not even need to arrange accommodation for the players. It can directly set off from the base four hours in advance, finish playing and then return via the original route, which is simply economical and economical.

Perhaps due to the "tired travel", Wimbledon has been unable to find the fitness to play football in the Loney Parade Stadium.

Due to the brutal overtime in the League Cup, many veterans, such as vice-captain Smith, suffered from varying degrees of muscle fatigue and physical exhaustion, so Lee Polo once again had to play as a left back.

Probably because this stadium is also the venue for two local rugby teams, it is obviously not well maintained on weekdays. The quality of the turf is simply terrible. There is not even a blade of grass in many places, which seriously affects the normal transmission of football and the movements of the players.

For example, in the 8th minute, Li Polo wanted to use a fierce sliding tackle to end the opponent's left winger's breakthrough with the ball, but he only slid less than one meter and stopped on a bare ground. He could only

Watching the opponent rush in and score with a powerful shot!

1:0!

Li Poluo got up, with a bitter taste in his mouth and feeling extremely unhappy.

Since he joined Wimbledon and became a professional player, this is the first time he has lost points directly because of his interception error!

He also suddenly thought that it was not impossible for some teams to lose because the turf was too short...

After conceding the goal, Wimbledon did not feel too depressed. They quickly cheered up and even turned against the away team at one point, suppressing the home team within half-time.

Since the turf was in poor condition and was not suitable for passing and controlling play, the Kuang Gang immediately started the most traditional long pass in English football, using Akinfenwa's strong body as a bridgehead, and other frontcourt players inserted from the back row to form an offensive.

But Newport was clearly prepared. After taking the lead, they all retreated and set up a bus in the penalty area. Even if Akinfenwa could kill two defenders with one punch, they could not easily break their steel defense.

The crazy gang that had been besieging the team for half an hour finally relaxed, and their overly pressing formation revealed a huge gap. Newport only needed two passes to break through their defense, and directly faced goalkeeper Shea one-on-one.

Duel!

In desperation, Xie A directly pulled the opponent's forward to the ground with both hands, but the result was a red card for himself!

And a penalty kick!

Adrei on the sidelines kicked the mineral water away:

"So what if you let him shoot? Why are you pulling him?!"

From a neutral perspective, Shea's foul was completely unnecessary. Even if the opponent scored, the remaining time would be enough for Wimbledon to catch up.

But despite being hot-headed, he still stretched out his sinful hands "without hesitation".

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will dive, kick, angrily scold teammates and opponents, and throw the captain's armband angrily (of course Cristiano Ronaldo is more...). How can you expect a fourth-level league goalkeeper to be able to perform at any time?

keep Calm?

Shea's red card became the turning point of the entire game. Unsurprisingly, the balance of victory and defeat completely tilted towards the home team. Although Akinfenwa and Lee Polo scored goals successively, they still could not prevent the crazy gang from swallowing the defeat.

The bitter fruit.

2:4!

Wimbledon suffered its first defeat of the new season!

"This defeat may not be a bad thing, and it also gave us a timely reminder. Perhaps because the start of the season was too smooth, we were a little relaxed in today's game. This is the responsibility of our coaching staff."

On the way back to his hometown, Adre made serious criticism and self-criticism:

"There are a total of 46 rounds in the league, and we have only played 10 rounds now. If we want to advance to League One at the end of the season, we should not relax prematurely."

He looked at the players in the bus, wanting to observe their reactions.

The first person responsible for the loss, goalkeeper Xie A, who received the red card, took the initiative to stand up:

"I'm sorry, brothers. Today's loss is all my responsibility. If I hadn't been impulsive, we would never have played so passively..."

After he finished his review, Adele spoke:

"I won't comfort you, James, because you are no longer a child and should learn to pay for your mistakes. I just hope to see you cheer up as soon as possible. This team needs you."

The 23-year-old Xie A nodded vigorously, but still could not conceal his inner frustration.

The price of his impulsiveness was not only a red card but also a suspension of at least three games. The biggest question is, during this period, will his main position... be impacted by competitors?

He subconsciously glanced at the second goalkeeper Ross Warner who was sitting diagonally behind him. This guy had already clenched his fists impatiently, wanting to show the coach his attitude and ability!

【This damn red card!】

Adre looked at the schedule and spoke again:

"The September schedule ends here. You guys have worked hard. After we go back tonight, we will have a day off tomorrow. The next training session will be on time at 9 a.m. on the 29th. I don't want anyone to be late. Oh, by the way..."

He glanced at Li Polo again and added:

"This time, I don't want anyone to be accidentally injured by kicking the shot put with their feet!"

With a "coax" sound, everyone laughed.

The serious atmosphere just now disappeared immediately, and the whole bus was filled with joy.

Li Polo rolled his eyes:

"I really went to practice my ball sense!"

"And what I play is obviously tennis, not shot put!"

Wimbledon played a total of 7 games in September, but Lee Polo was affected by injuries and only participated in 4 of them. One of them was only as a substitute. In addition, there was no strong opponent like Manchester United.

Cutting leeks, so when it came time to settle the account, his income dropped significantly.

Basic salary: 300*4=1200.

Appearance bonus: 20*4=80.

Winning bonus: 20*3=60.

Zero seal bonus: 10*2=20.

Goal bonus: 20*4=80.

Assist bonus: 10*1=10.

Total:1450.

Compared with August, his income in September dropped sharply by 40%!

Looking at the pitiful numbers on the settlement information, Li Polo suddenly felt like a hero was short of breath.

It's over now!

What can you do with £1,400?
