The biggest fanatic in football

After this two-game winning streak, the atmosphere within the Wimbledon team finally returned to a relaxed state.

Early the next morning, Cox made an announcement before training:

"The draw results for the first round of the FA Cup have come out. On November 8, we are going to play York City away."

All eyes turned to the schedule posted on the wall.

There are still 9 days left before the FA Cup, and before that, they still have a league game to play.

Adele rubbed his chin:

"Are they the opponents of England B? Where are they ranked now?"

Cox replied without hesitation:

"I remember they were on the verge of falling into the relegation zone a few weeks ago."

Captain Fuller took out his phone and searched:

"Right, they have now fallen into the relegation zone, with 12 points from 15 rounds, ranking 22nd, 2 points more than Tranmere, which we just defeated last weekend."

When Adele heard this, he immediately made a decision:

"For this kind of rookie, our substitute lineup is enough! The most important thing at the moment is to expand the lead in the league and win the ticket to advance to League One as soon as possible!"

This time, all the players agreed and no one raised any objections.

After all, it's just York City, not Manchester United!

Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

-

On the morning of November 1, when Lee Polo boarded the bus with the team and prepared to go to the next away game, he received an email from the club's financial staff.

This means that October’s salary and bonus will be paid soon.

Due to the three-game suspension, although he has just signed a new contract, his overall income is still not ideal.

Wimbledon participated in a total of 7 games in October (5 league games, 1 League Cup game, 1 British Championship game). Lee Polo played 4 games and won all of them. One of them was a substitute and one was eliminated midway.

Substituted, scored 4 goals, no assists, and had no shutouts in 3 games.

Basic salary: Already advanced in advance.

Appearance fee: 4*50=200.

Winning bonus: 4*30=120.

Goal bonus: 4*100=400.

Zero seal bonus: 3*30=90.

Total:810.

Looking at the number at the end of the bill, Li Polo couldn't help but frown.

[After a month of hard work, I earned 800 yuan!]

Oh, by the way, if the club had not generously paid for the 300 yuan red card fine, he would have only received a bonus of 510 yuan this month!

Reeves, who was sitting next to him, came up:

"Don't look at it. If you look at it again, there won't be an extra zero!"

Li Polo turned off his mobile phone and asked him seriously:

"Let me ask you, you said we beat Manchester United so violently in the League Cup, why didn't they send scouts to contact us?"

Reeves opened his mouth:

"ah?"

Li Polo slumped in his seat with some distress:

"We have defeated high-level teams like Milton and Manchester United in a row. Shouldn't they pay attention to our performance? Shouldn't they give me a chance to try out?"

Akinfenwa in the front row laughed out loud:

"Little guy, you have a very rich imagination!"

Xie A also shook his head:

"The Premier League and us...are almost two different worlds. A League Cup match cannot explain anything."

Li Polo glanced at him:

"That's not right. You just encouraged me to work hard a few days ago, and now you're throwing cold water on me?"

Xie A didn't expect that he would be shocked by his own words, so he could only laugh at himself:

"You are right, now I suddenly want to meet Arsenal in the FA Cup or League Cup."

Akinfenwa raised his arm and exerted some force. His muscles suddenly became as stiff as steel. He grinned:

"Hahaha, if you want to talk about Arsenal, I won't be tired. I can challenge their entire defense by myself!"

The whole bus was suddenly filled with joyful laughter:

"Hahaha, those little girls will definitely be scared to tears by you!"

"Ahem, that's too much."

"I have been a gun fan since I was a child. If you dare to do anything illegal again, I will fight you to the death!"

Adele, who was sitting at the front, finally couldn't listen anymore. He coughed, turned around and glanced:

"I just heard that after only three months of this season, someone wants to contact some Premier League team?"

He showed the majesty of the head coach, and the players immediately shut their mouths, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Polo intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course Adele knew which "big baby" was responsible, so he smiled and asked:

"Young man, you have been very active recently."

Li Polo shook his head innocently:

"Boss, I have always worked hard! And..."

Adele didn't listen to his feeble explanation and said with an old face:

"If Manchester United buys you, it's better to keep Welbeck, because at least he will still score points in front of goal."

Li Polo was stunned for a moment, but Reeves next to him patted his thigh and laughed unscrupulously:

"The boss is right, this guy's shooting is really bad!"

When dealing with his roommate, Lee Polo never lacked vocabulary and immediately retorted:

"If my calculations are correct, I have scored more goals than you and Aziz combined!"

Reeves fell silent for a moment.

After all, although he plays a more forward position on the field, his status in the team is just an ordinary rotation. His number of starts is not as many as that of Lee Polo, let alone scoring goals.

Aziz, who had not joined the discussion but was shot while lying down, was not happy:

"You two, what are you doing to bring things to my head?"

-

After a 150-kilometer journey, the entire Wimbledon team arrived at the destination of their trip, Northampton, a city in central England.

This city has many theaters and museums with a strong artistic atmosphere. It is a city that closely combines traditional culture and art with modern business.

Although it only has a population of 220,000.

As soon as they stepped out of the bus, many players couldn't help but sneeze and quickly took out their coats from the suitcases. Some even put on their down jackets directly.

Cox looked up at the sky, and a crystal snowflake fell on his nose:

"Winter is coming!"

-

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the 16th round of the league officially started.

The unexpected sleet seemed to bring some obstacles to the crazy gang. Although Northampton staff urgently dealt with the turf, when the players from both sides lined up and walked into the stadium, the turf had already changed.

It has to be wet and slippery.

The more a team values ​​technology, the more it hates bad weather.

Compared with Wimbledon, which is still considering which tactic to use, Northampton, ranked 18th, does not need to think so much at all.

Long passes, body collisions, this is the eternal charm of England's lower-level teams!

Ardrey and his players didn't pay too much attention, after all, the center back combination of Lee Poirot and Phillips rarely suffered losses in fighting for high-altitude balls.

This is indeed how the situation developed.

In the 19th minute, Lee Polo completed his second header to clear the ball. Porter, who was guarding near the landing point, crossed the wing immediately. The left back Smith raised his left foot and made a direct pass of more than 30 meters.

, found Dubis guarding near the center line.

The experienced Dubis did not choose to take the lead in the charge, but took a few steps closer to the center, and made a simple hit-the-wall coordination with Akinfenwa who acted as the fulcrum, bypassing the home team's central defender who was blindly chasing the ball.

Start accelerating forward.

Almost at the same time, Aziz on the right also rushed out from the back line, and immediately formed a double ghost attack!

Northampton's goalkeeper could only abandon the goal and chose to pounce on Dubis who was carrying the ball. However, Dubis was not greedy for credit and directly pushed the ball slightly to the right, and was knocked to the ground by the goalkeeper.

…

Aziz, who was on horseback, easily pushed the shot into the empty goal and was about to rush to the sidelines to celebrate wildly when he heard a sharp whistle:

"drop!"

Aziz's first thought was:

【I'm not offside!】

But he turned around and looked over, only to see Dubis, who had provided him with an assist, lying in front of the goal with a painful look on his face, and bright red blood seeping out of his socks.

"Sh*t!"

Adele waved his fist in anger.

Cox has notified team doctor Douglas to rush to deal with:

"The field was too slippery and the goalkeeper didn't stop it!"

Although their goal was effective, one of their main forwards was injured and ended up off the field!
