Chapter 59 Are you the top marksman in League One?

"Worri!"

This was Li Polo's first emotion after the game started.

Phillips, who was not far away, understood his mood very well and even said:

"How about we switch places?"

Because... standing opposite Li Polo was a tall and strong man with a height of over 1.9 meters!

"Aaron Webberham, height 191cm, weight 82cm, joined Bristol on a free transfer from the Premier League team Crystal Palace in the summer. He has played 11 times in the league this season and scored 9 goals. He is the team's top scorer.

He is good at fighting for the top in the air, scoring goals himself or ferrying headers. As a forward, he has a wide running range and has excellent counterattack awareness on the spot..."

The basic information about his opponent flashed in Li Polo's mind.

This is not a special service brought by the system, but information prepared by the coaching team for everyone a week ago. You can see it by going to the English League One or their club's official website.

Scored 9 goals in 11 games, without a penalty kick, and the average efficiency of 0.82 goals per game is really amazing!

After all, in 2014, the only players who could average more than one goal per game were probably Ronaldo and Messi, plus Suarez who was at his peak.

On the other hand, Li Polo, who played with a plug-in, only scored 6 goals in 8 rounds of the league, and his average efficiency per game was only 0.75!

The most important thing is that League One and League Two are obviously not of the same difficulty level...

Of course, Webberham also heard what Phillips said. He lowered his head slightly, looked down at Li Polo, and showed an amiable smile:

"Young man, your teammates are worried about you! I advise you to listen to his advice!"

This is really a rare scene.

Li Polo has always been the one to provoke his opponents, but this time his opponents actually came to his door?

Li Polo also laughed:

"I heard that you are the best goal scorer in English League One?"

Webberham smiled conceitedly:

"I came from a Premier League background, shouldn't I be able to do everything in English League One?"

Li Polo laughed even harder:

"Sorry, can I ask one more question? How many goals have you scored in the Premier League?"

The smile on Webberham's face suddenly froze.

In the summer of 2013, he successfully promoted to the Premier League with Crystal Palace, but in the following season, he did not even get a chance to play!

Because the Crystal Palace team, which was promoted to the Premier League, had many younger and more promising stars. In that season, the main forward was Zaha, the "Zack King", and Chamach, the "successor of Van Persie" from Arsenal.

Monogram king Dwight Gayle, and talented winger Thomas Ince from Liverpool.

For a relegation team, such a forward lineup is already bloated enough, how can they keep him?

Webberham, who was born in 1979, can't even guarantee a starting position in the Championship team, let alone playing in the Premier League!

[Negative emotions from Webberham, 6!]

Li Poluo was surprised when he received the message.

[Damn it, I just asked casually...]

He didn't know how tragic his opponent's previous experience was, but such cases are all too common in football. Those players who are killing everyone in lower-level leagues will find it difficult to maintain their form after entering higher-level competitions.

Even if you are also playing in the Premier League and can be the main or even core player in a team like Crystal Palace, and then move to a giant like Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, or Liverpool, you will often find in despair that even if you try your best

Training, but still can't even get a serious chance to start!

However, Li Poluo had no intention of sympathizing with his opponent at all. He would only pursue the victory and further disturb his opponent's mood:

"Aren't you good at heading the ball? Don't worry, you won't be able to score a single header in this game!"

[Negative emotions from Webberham, 10!]

-

"Boom!"

In the 6th minute of the game, Phillips heard a muffled sound.

Of course he knew, as he received professional training every day, that it was the sound of two sentences of flesh colliding together.

And it’s the sound of collision in the air!

He was a little worried about the young teammate and quickly turned his head to look.

But he saw Li Polo landing firmly on the ground, and then took the lead and cleared the football out of the penalty area!

The tall center who was fighting against him lost his balance and fell on his back!

Phillips breathed a sigh of relief, as if his worries were in vain!

-

Li Poluo also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little lucky.

The words he said before the start of the game were somewhat provocative. Without actual confrontation, he had no absolute confidence that he could defeat his opponent.

But after this all-out effort, he is now extremely confident!

He glanced at Akinfenwa who was forty meters away, and suddenly wanted to say thank you to him.

If Akinfenwa hadn't "forced" himself to train his upper body muscles every afternoon, his core strength would never be so strong! Nor would he be able to keep his center of gravity so stable in the air!

-

【Webberham,2!】

【Webberham,3!】

【Webberham,5!】

【Webberham,10!】

When he failed to fight again and again, Webberham's expression became desperate step by step.

He is not a young man like Ivan Toney. At the age of 35, he has long lost his speed and flexibility, and his footwork has never been his strong point. The only thing he can rely on is his height!

Now that his header is completely restricted by the opponent, he is equivalent to a waste!

And that young opponent, after restraining himself, still had the energy to rush forward and participate in the attack?!

This is simply a humiliation!

-

Bristol City is in a tough fight.

Although they controlled more than 60% of the ball, their attackers were powerless against Wimbledon's steel defense.

In particular, the aerial striker who was always unfavorable in the English League One was completely restricted in one-on-one marking. Not only did he not have any threat, but he was counterattacked by his opponent many times. In the 27th minute, he used a quick counterattack.

Dubis succeeded in sneak attack!

Bristol, one goal behind, is even more passive, but what can they do?

They continued to strengthen their offensive, but exposed their own greater weaknesses:

Physical fitness!

The average age of Wimbledon's starting 11 is less than 25 years old, but half of Bristol's half-rotation lineup is over 32 years old!

The schedule is the same as Wimbledon. They just finished the first round of the FA Cup three days ago, and the physical fitness of the veterans has not yet fully recovered.

Especially the 36-year-old Webberham, whose physical fitness simply cannot keep up with Lee Polo's speed!

For example, after this sprint of nearly 30 meters at full speed, Li Polo only needed to take two breaths of fresh air to return to the battle, but Webberham felt a stiffness in his calves, almost a cramp...

When you were young, how could these two steps of sprinting make you feel exhausted?

Looking at Lee Polo rushing forward after stealing the ball, Webberham once again lamented the ruthlessness of the years.

Then he watched Wimbledon's wide player pass the ball. The tireless young player jumped high near the penalty spot, overpowered the home team's defender and headed the ball into the goal!

"You can jump... so high on a horse!"

Webberham, who is 1.91 meters tall, gave one last sigh and then accepted the arrangement of being substituted.

The game lasted less than an hour and his team fell behind by two goals.

And it seems... there is absolutely no hope of reversal!

Webberham was sitting on the bench, watching his teammates on the field struggling but still unable to change the result.

At the end of the struggle, Bristol City, from coach to players, gave up their efforts.

[Anyway, it’s just an insignificant cup match, so I’d better save some energy because I have to play in the league in two days! 】

"Dip, drip, drip~~~"

With three whistles, Bristol City players were finally freed.

There didn't seem to be much reluctance to lose on their faces, but instead they had expressions of relief.

Someone else came over and patted Li Poluo on the back and praised him:

"Boy, that header of yours was so cool!"

There are even people helping to worry about his future:

"We will play in the English Championship next season. Don't you consider transferring here? You definitely have the ability!"

Li Polo ignored them and turned around to leave.

[Although victory or defeat is a matter of military strategists, how can such a group of guys who have no sense of honor after defeat be worthy of talking about my future? 】
