The biggest fanatic in football

June 28, evening.

The England team left their training base in St. Petersburg and arrived in Kaliningrad, which is located between Lithuania, Belarus, and Poland.

This is an enclave in Russia more than 600 kilometers away from the mainland. The state has a population of only 1.01 million, but it was unexpected that it could host four World Cup group stage events.

"Hello, Nice to meet you!"

During the handshake ceremony between players from both sides, Lee Polo greeted his familiar opponent with a smooth London accent.

"You damn bastard!"

Azar smiled and cursed, and gave him a warm hug.

Then I heard Li Polo say:

"In order to contain you, I will switch to guard today. You have to work hard!"

Azar's hands holding him suddenly stiffened!

[Negative emotions from Eden Hazard, +44!]

As a result, Li Poluo let go of his arms:

"I lied to you, don't be nervous!"

Azar was so angry that he almost jumped up. He really wanted to punch his opponent in the head!

【Azar, +74!】

-

Behind Hazard is Belgian goalkeeper Courtois.

Of course he also received cordial greetings from Lee Polo:

"I hope you won't hold a grudge against me after this game."

Courtois forced a laugh.

He would not tell Li Polo that he had prayed to God several times last night, hoping that Li Polo would sprain his ankle or strain his thigh in the first second of the game and go off the field to rest!

-

Hazard, Courtois, Kompany, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Fellaini, Witsel, Meunier, De Bruyne, Carrasco, Lukaku...

Except for Meunier, who is slightly less famous, Belgium's starting lineup is indeed full of familiar names.

On their bench, there are also Batshuayi, Hazard, Mignolet, Moussa Dembele (Tottenham), Januzaj, Vermaelen, Tieleman,

Chadley, Mertens, Denayer, Dendoncker and other substitute players, except for a few young players, are all famous stars in European football.

If they were just more famous, this group of players from Belgium would probably be better than those from England!

After all, many people on the Three Lions side did not know their starting central defender Maguire at the time...

-

"Dip~~~"

The referee Alireza Faghani from Iran blew the opening whistle.

With a classic reverse-footed kick, Lukaku started his performance tonight.

Fellaini, who received the ball, was just about to take two steps forward when he saw Li Polo rushing towards him. He quickly gave up the idea of ​​dribbling the ball and kicked the ball to De Bruyne on the right.

——The technical work of dribbling can be left to "Ding Ding", and there is no need for the "foreman" to work hard!

Sure enough, De Bruyne successfully dribbled the ball in front of Rose and successfully passed a curve ball towards the center. Unfortunately, Lukaku started half a step too slowly and could only watch the ball fly past his eyes.

…

Lu, who almost scored a lightning goal, couldn't help but shook his head regretfully, turned around and gave De Bruyne his first praise of the game.

But he saw that his teammates ignored his praise at all, and instead retreated towards him like a tide!

England has launched a counterattack!

Maguire received the football from the edge of the penalty area that Lukaku failed to grab, and gave the ball to the right wing-back Arnold. Arnold, who started in place of Walker in this game, directly made a long pass and sent the ball to the opponent's half.

field.

The Prince of Liverpool, who is not yet 20 years old, has the long passing skills of 30-year-old Beckham. This long pass of more than 50 meters accurately bypassed the Belgian defense and found Lee Bo who successfully countered offside.

Luo!

It's a pity that Li Polo rushed a little too hard, and when he stopped the ball, he caught up with his left foot. The ball rolled directly seven or eight meters, and was saved by Courtois who was attacking...

Li Polo regretfully stopped suddenly, turned around and gave Arnold a thumbs up.

Then he felt that something was not right about this picture.

[tmdHow come I am Lukaku? 】

-

Facts have proved that Belgium is indeed not the same level of rivals as Tunisia and Panama before it.

At least in the first 15 minutes of the game, the statistics of both sides were comparable. Even in terms of passing and breakthrough, Hazard and De Bruyne had a certain advantage.

After all, Hazard has been the premier dribbler in the Premier League in the past five years, and De Bruyne is also one of the top three passing masters today. There is no technical player who can compare with them in the England team.

.

To make a neutral comment, in addition to their speed and confrontation ability, this group of England players were almost completely crushed by Belgium on a technical level!

For example, this Belgian forward, who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 200 kilograms, is dark and strong. He broke through the defense zone of England vice-captain Cahill with one burst!

If Pickford hadn't suddenly possessed Neuer and abandoned the goal early to attack, Lukaku would have really had a chance to score first!

Cahill breathed heavily with some fear.

He has played against Lukaku many times in the Premier League, and he has long known each other's characteristics. However, Cahill, who is already 32 years and 7 months old, really can no longer compete with the explosive power of the 25-year-old Belgian monster.

But he doesn't need to be too depressed.

Because the same sentiment is permeating Belgium's defense at the moment...

The 32-year-old Kompany, the 31-year-old Vertonghen, and the 29-year-old Alderweireld are always on tenterhooks when facing Lee Polo, who is still 2 months away from turning 24.

Every time Lee Polo prepares to start speeding up, their heart pressure will be close to bursting in an instant!

And every time at this time, they would take emergency measures such as pulling in advance or stepping on the brakes immediately to slow down Li Polo!

As long as Lee Polo loses his impact, they can rely on their years of cooperation experience to keep England's fast attack out of the penalty area.

After all, based on their understanding of Lee Polo, this crazy goal-scoring machine is still relatively inferior in terms of dribbling skills...

One of Belgium's major advantages is that almost all of their main players have Premier League backgrounds, and they know Lipolo's characteristics very well - especially Hazard and Courtois, two of Chelsea's main players, as well as Bashu.

Yayi, the Blues abandoned player who only moved to Dortmund in the winter.

Therefore, Kompany, Vertonghen and others are obviously extra cautious when facing Lee Polo. As long as Lee Polo is still in the threat area, their three defenders will never easily look away!

But even so, Li Polo still seized the opportunity.

In the 18th minute, Arnold once again sent a cross from the right. Lee Polo retreated and prepared to fight for the top, but Kompany, who was closest to him, suddenly trembled!

The Manchester City captain immediately recalled the tricks used by Lee Polo in the Champions League final!

He relied on this "step back and step on" routine to kill Real Madrid captain Ramos!

Kompany couldn't help but hesitate.

[Ramos was at the peak of his youth and strength, but now I am a man of glass!]

[If I get trampled by this bastard, how long will it take for me to recover?]

[Man City lost all four major players last season. Guardiola will definitely make drastic reforms next. If I have to recuperate for a long time, can a bald guy allow me to do that? 】

In this moment of hesitation, Lee Polo had already grabbed the best place to pass the ball, and then...he didn't even bend his knees to take off. He just raised his head slightly and the ball flew into the sky again!

【Coming!】

【He wants to use his header to pass?!】

Kompany's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately subconsciously opened his arms to expand his defensive area.

But he still underestimated Li Polo's explosive power.

Lee Polo, who had just pushed the ball behind him, completed the next second by turning around, speeding up, and chasing. The impact beyond ordinary people's expectations directly knocked away the left hand that Kompany just stretched out!

With a "poof" sound, Kompany sat down on the turf!

He turned his head in shock and saw Vertonghen and Alderweireld rushing over from the left and right sides, but they had no time to restrain Lee Polo, who had already taken off in the air!

The Three Lions' ace bomber dropped a blockbuster over the Belgian penalty area!

“Whoosh!!!”

Courtois's reaction was already very good. The fingertips of his right hand even touched the edge of the football, but the huge force still knocked his fingers away and hit the net behind him solidly!

1:0!

At the critical moment, Li Polo still used his best header to break the opponent's city!

[Negative sentiment from Kompany, +159!]

【Courtois, +213!】

【Belgian team, +2048!】
