Chapter 664 Can’t say goodbye!

Here, Lee Polo had just led the Blues to a 7-0 bloodbath against Everton, and another focus battle had just concluded.

The finale of this round is the Manchester derby!

Guardiola's Blue Moon Army faces the Red Devils commanded by Carrick at home!

Carrick feels miserable!

[Mourinho must have calculated the date before escaping! 】

[What kind of opponents are left for me!]

[After this game, after two rounds it will be Arsenal, and after two more rounds it will be Liverpool!]

[As a firefighting coach, can I still hold on until Christmas?]

[You should hurry up and find someone to take over!]

-

Although Manchester United adopted the most conservative defensive counterattack tactics in the away game from the beginning, they still played extremely awkwardly.

De Bruyne was in excellent form in this game, frequently using his sharp passes to tear apart Manchester United's fragile defense.

However, Manchester United's core midfielder Pogba is absent due to injury, and they lack the most creative link.

Under this situation, Manchester United's offensive was even more unable to play, and they could only be beaten in the penalty area by Manchester City!

It's a pity that although Manchester City has created many opportunities, they still lack an efficient shooter who can take root in the penalty area, especially when it comes to fighting for high-altitude balls, they are simply blank!

Aguero, Jesus, Sterling... can these three young brothers jump up to 2 meters?

Fortunately, Manchester United's defense is not an iron wall. The two defenders of Smalling and Lindelof are simply leaking from all sides.

Especially when it comes to Manchester City's quick and easy combination, even if they try to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, they will only focus on one thing and lose the other, and it will be a complete mess.

However, it was not the trident on the forward line who opened the scoring, but David Silva who came in from the center. He responded to De Bruyne's back pass from the right and blasted into the net from the front of the penalty area!

Manchester United then launched a counterattack. Martial sent a direct pass. Lukaku made a breakthrough, but was knocked down by goalkeeper Ederson in the penalty area, winning a penalty kick for the Red Devils.

Martial equalized the score in one fell swoop, but Manchester City's subsequent offensive left them completely unable to withstand it.

Lingard's midfield advance was intercepted by Fernandinho. Mahrez and Aguero penetrated Manchester United's defense with consecutive one-twos, and finally Akun completed a blast! 2:1!

At the last moment, Manchester City had almost every forward. Gundogan, who came on as a substitute, even ran to the small penalty area line, received the diagonal pass from seat B and easily pushed into the net! 3:1!

As for Manchester United, both in terms of tactics and player coordination, they were completely defeated by their rivals in the same city!

-

Manchester City easily won the local derby 3:1, and his competitors did not relax.

Liverpool, always ranked second, defeated New Wimbledon 3:0 at Anfield, leaving no chance for Ardley.

Tottenham won Crystal Palace 1:0 in the away game and continued to tie for third place with Manchester City.

Only Arsenal, ranked fifth, unfortunately fell behind. They were severely bitten by Wolves and could only draw 1:1, widening the gap with Manchester City and Tottenham.

After the 12th round of the league, Chelsea players disbanded directly at Goodison Park and will then enter the rhythm of the national team.

Before disbanding, Conte solemnly warned all players:

"I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm to fight for your country, but I must remind you that your opponent in the next round of the league is Tottenham!"

On November 13, after two days of rest, Lee Polo went to the St. George Park training base to report to Southgate.

Since only the final match against Croatia remained in the UEFA Nations League group stage, England also arranged a friendly match against the United States.

There is also a familiar face in this big list.

Former Three Lions leader, Wayne Rooney.

This game is a farewell game specially prepared by the England national team for Rooney, who has left the American Major League!

And he also retired from the national team in this game, including two veterans:

Leicester City's Vardy and Chelsea's Gary Cahill are no longer young, and the national team has already seen younger newcomers emerge.

After all, Cahill finished the World Cup as the main defender. Vardy's playing time in the 7 games of the World Cup was simply handful!

It’s time to retreat bravely!

Give the opportunity to the younger Kane, Rashford and Maguire!

Speaking of young people, there are indeed many fresh faces in this team. It can even be said that this warm-up match is almost a large gathering of marginal international players!

For example, in the selection of central defenders, Southgate used a new combination of Cahill, Deng Ke, and Michael Keane.

——After seeing Lee Polo, poor little Keane almost had a heart attack on the training ground!

For example, in the forward line, Southgate left the position next to Rooney to Bournemouth youngster Harry Wilson and the younger Sancho.

In the midfield, Wilshere from New Wimbledon has returned to the Three Lions after many years, and his partner is the Red Devils King Lingard.

The two wing-backs are Delph, who is also from the Kuang Gang, and Liverpool youngster Alexander-Arnold.

Rooney, who played 120 games for his country, scored a total of 53 goals and provided 20 assists, but this time, in his final performance with the national team, he did not expand his statistics again.

In the first half, Wilshere sent a sharp through ball. Lingard, who was ambushing on the right side of the penalty area, adjusted his angle and shot. The ball bypassed the hands of the American goalkeeper and went into the net. 1:

0!

Just 2 minutes later, Sancho sent a diagonal pass from the top of the penalty area. Arnold, who was on the right side, penetrated the door at a small angle of almost only 15 degrees, 2:0!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Amid warm applause at Wembley Stadium, Rooney handed the captain's armband to Cahill and was then replaced by Vardy.

Under the camera, the former little Tank now has thinning hair. After the game, he also had red eyes and quietly wiped away tears.

Lu Xiaopang, who scored his first goal for the Three Lions when he was less than 18 years old, experienced the golden age of England and also accompanied the team through its lowest ebb as a flag bearer. His 53 goals also made him a member of the Three Lions team history.

The second shooter is an out-and-out legend!

——Of course, the top scorer in England's history is Lee Polo, who scored 40 goals in 7 games in the World Cup and a total of 105 goals.

In the 70th minute, Cahill also walked to the sidelines and completed the substitution with Lee Polo.

Lee Polo first played as a defender for 5 minutes, but found that Keane seemed a little uneasy, so he moved forward to the forward position.

But Wilshere's legs were trembling as soon as he saw him, and both passes were passed wide. Lee Polo had to have an idea and retreat to the midfielder position!

Anyway, whether he is a small threat or Lin Huang, he is not a midfielder who is good at defense, and standing in the midfielder position, he can just practice his long pass organization skills!

The last 15 minutes turned into a personal show for Lee Polo to organize the offense!

I saw that he didn't need to observe, he raised his right foot and directly made a 50-meter long pass!

Sancho, Wilson, and Vardy are all top-notch in speed, but none of them can stop the ball. They can only watch the ball spin and fly out of the baseline...

And then... they had to give a thumbs up to express their gratitude for the outrageous pass!

However, hard work paid off. After trying 5 long passes in a row, in the 84th minute, Lee Polo finally connected with Vardy. Vardy succeeded in countering offside and sent the ball into the net with a pad shot!

3:0!

【Ding~~~】

Li Polo, who sent the first long pass assist in his career, immediately received a prompt message:

【Pass:66→67!】

【Ball control:90→91!】

【Defense:88→89!】

Lee Polo smacked his lips while accepting Vardy's thank you hug:

[In order to improve my passing ability, should I play midfielder for a few months?]

[Fabregas can’t play 90 minutes in every game anyway, so I’m not taking his place, right?]
