The biggest fanatic in football

As a professional player, the most painful thing is not being able to play.

There are exceptions, however.

For example, Dembele of Barcelona and Bale of Real Madrid may think that playing games and golf is the meaning of life.

But for Lee Polo, who just wanted to learn from Vardy's struggle, it was really a torture to have to be a spectator for three consecutive games.

Especially... in the next three games, the three opponents are all top-ranked favorites!

On October 11, in the 12th round of the league, Wimbledon faced third-ranked Burley at home.

Facing the fierce opponent, Adele did not dare to be careless at all. Relying on three goals from Akinfenwa, Dubis, and Porter, he won the victory with a score of 3:2.

Lisanna, who came all the way back to spend the weekend with him, consoled him:

"Don't worry too much. Didn't the team win yet?"

Li Polo glared at him:

"Are you trying to comfort me?"

Lisanna, who failed to console her verbally, was not discouraged and instead used practical actions to comfort her fragile boyfriend, allowing him to temporarily forget about the pain of being suspended.

Li Polo suddenly fell into a contradictory state.

As a professional player, he certainly hopes that his team can continue to win, and it is best to lock in the league championship as soon as possible.

But as a player who has just made his debut, he hopes that the team will not play too well during his absence.

Just like Shea's worries before, every player will have this mentality when he is absent from the game for a long time:

"What if the team doesn't need me?"

Fortunately, Lee Polo's suspension only has two games left, so he doesn't need to worry about it for too long.

A week later, on October 18, in the 13th round of the English League Two, Wimbledon, with all their main players, fell into a tough away game.

They fought fiercely with second-placed Wycombe Wanderers for 90 minutes, but were still unable to conquer the opponent's goal. Instead, they conceded two goals in the second half and suffered their second defeat this season with a score of 0:2.

Li Polo, who watched the live broadcast in his apartment, felt uncontrollably happy:

"At least, the head coach will miss me, right?"

Adelai does miss his fierce defense. Although Goodman, who played in the rotation, is close to 190 in height, he is obviously two levels behind Lee Polo in terms of defensive hardness and ball path prediction. In this kind of strong dialogue

In addition, Fuller, Phillips, Smith and other defensive partners cannot always help him wipe his ass.

After Wimbledon drew 0:0 with its opponent in the 14th round of the league, sixth-ranked Plymouth, on October 22, Ardley finally couldn't sit still.

The head coach convened his team for in-depth analysis to find out the reasons for the dropped points.

The morale is very high.

No injuries at all.

The atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

Tactics, gradually adapt.

Top management, as always, supportive.

The main goalkeeper has performed stably since his comeback.

They studied for an afternoon and were stunned to find only one reason:

"Lee Polo is suspended?"

After coming to the conclusion, Adre shook his head hard:

"No, I don't believe it!"

Cox also provided scientific evidence:

"The last time we lost to Newport 2:4, Lee Polo not only played the entire game, but also scored a goal, but it didn't change the result at all!"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally persuaded themselves to reach an agreement:

"These two games are system games!"

The results of one loss and one draw did not trouble Ardley for too long.

Because Wimbledon once had a double-digit lead before, even though they lost 5 points in the past two rounds, they still continue to lead the standings with 34 points, while Burton and Wycombe Wanderers are tied for second.

Both have only 28 points.

When the calendar finally turned over from October 22, Lee Polo finally ended the state of living like a year.

During the training session on October 23, everyone could clearly feel that this young man seemed to have encountered a happy event. He started running a little light, as if he would fly into the clouds at any time.

Reeves, the never-serious roommate, even joked:

"You are so happy, are you going to be a father?"

Li Polo rolled his eyes and wanted to break his dog's head with a punch:

"You kid, can't you congratulate me on my comeback?"

Reeves put his arm around his neck and said with a nonchalant smile:

"Hey, man, this little guy doesn't really think we lost because he was suspended, does he?"

Half of the teammates in the locker room laughed.

Although they all gradually recognized Li Polo's ability, they believed even more that football is a team sport!

Are Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski and Bale strong enough?

Isn’t the national team they lead a good one?

Ronaldo, are Messi strong enough?

Didn’t Portugal and Argentina wait more than ten years to win an Intercontinental Cup champion?

——Oh no, Argentina didn’t win the America’s Cup in 2014.

Li Polo couldn't help but want to question them:

"Haven't you heard of the protagonist's halo?"

While they were talking and laughing, two coaches walked in.

Adrei patted the schedule in his hand:

"Three days later, our opponent is Tranmere. They are currently at the bottom and are under great pressure to avoid relegation, so they will be very tenacious. We'd better be prepared."

Cox began to introduce the characteristics of his opponent:

"Tranmere only scored 11 goals in the first 14 rounds, ranking second to last among the 24 teams, and conceded 18 goals, ranking 12th. It is obvious that compared to their offense, their defense is pretty good. And

Judging from the formation, their midfielders are quite capable, and we also need to strengthen the competition in the midfield..."

After talking for more than ten minutes, he talked about every position of his opponent before giving the most critical question:

"Since there is still a League Cup to play in midweek next week, we will make a certain degree of rotation for the game against Tranmere, including Akinfenwa, Phillips, Boorman and Smith."

The four players whose names were called were all veterans over 30 years old. The oldest Boorman was already 35 years old. After hearing the coach's arrangement, they did not have any dissatisfaction.

After all, they are the absolute main force of the team. Let them rest when playing against weak teams in the league, of course, in order to perform better in the League Cup.

However, Li Polo didn't care about the mood of these people at all. After resting for more than half a month, he just wanted to play!

Probably sensing his anxiety, Adele glanced at him:

"Young man, do you still dare to provoke the fans from the opposite side in the future?"

Li Polo immediately shook his head:

"Unless the other party is Milton Keynes, I will never provoke!"

Adelai smiled and nodded:

"Then I'll give you a chance. You will start in this game."

Li Polo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"Okay, Mr. Coach!"

Adelai glanced at the schedule and added with a little hesitation:

"I actually want you to play in the League Cup. After all, Sheffield United is much stronger..."

Li Polo punched himself in the chest and confidently expressed his stance to the head coach:

"Don't worry, I'm in good shape now. Even if I play one game every day, there won't be any problem!"
