Chapter 665 Can happiness be contagious?

Although these 15 minutes were mainly used to practice passing, Lee Polo did not give up the opportunity to shoot.

Facing the lax American team, which was originally just a green leaf, he showed his true colors at the last moment, scoring two goals in two minutes and setting the score at 5:0.

After sending away the three veterans Rooney, Cahill and Vardy with this 5:0 game, the Three Lions regained their composure and ushered in the final game of the UEFA Nations League group stage four days later.

In the first three rounds of the group stage, England won three games and accumulated 9 points, qualifying early; Croatia had 1 win and 2 losses and only 3 points.

Spain, which has played all 4 rounds, has 1 win and 3 losses, and only has 3 points. However, because they scored more goals against Croatia (previously they beat Croatia 6:0), they are temporarily ranked second.

Since the bottom team will be relegated to League B next season, Croatia is also very eager to get a point in the final round.

On November 18th, at Wembley Stadium, the main force of the Grid Army came out!

For example, Perisic and Brozovic, who play for Inter Milan, stand opposite Lipolo...

Seeing Li Polo easily double-killing Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage, the two generals of the visiting team suddenly lost all confidence!

Coupled with the core midfielders Modric, Rakitic, and defense general Lovren, they all have an indelible psychological shadow on him. This game has developed in an unfavorable direction for Croatia from the beginning!

Different from the friendly match four days ago, Southgate sent out most of the main players in this game.

The forward line is Lee Polo with Kane and Sterling.

In the midfield, Henderson led Lingard, Luke Shaw and Alexander-Arnold as the left and right wing-backs.

The three central defenders are Maguire, Stones and Walker.

The goalkeeper is still Pickford.

On the bench, there are also a large number of ready-to-combat players such as Rashford, Sancho, Trippier, Barkley, Chilwell, Wilshere, Delph, Loftus-Cheek, etc., who indeed look capable.

Heyday.

The Three Lions, who were playing at home, were full of momentum after the start. Unfortunately, Sterling immediately gave the game a happy ending with an invisible anti-aircraft gun...

Probably because happiness is contagious, three minutes later, Lee Polo's top-spin header, which he was sure to win, had no power and landed directly into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper!

Lee Polo, who did not believe in evil, switched to the simplest and crudest bombing in the next game, but this time he hit Lovren squarely in the face!

Lovren, whose nose was almost flattened by the ball, complained to him with tears streaming down his face:

"First of all, I've never messed with you!"

Lee Polo made a rare apology to the victim:

"I said I didn't hit you on purpose, can you believe it?"

Lovren wiped a large amount of snot from his nose:

"You are the greatest header master in history. Who would believe you if you say you missed the ball?"

-

The third person to be infected was Kane, who did not play in the last game.

In the 35th minute, Henderson picked the ball through the defense. Kane rushed into the penalty area bravely. Seeing that it was a one-shot, his shot missed!

Just 5 minutes later, Henderson, who had just almost received an assist, also suffered a disaster.

This time he made a direct pass error that paid tribute to the legend and sent the ball to Modric's feet!

The Magic Flute did not leave him any hope. He raised his foot and made a direct pass. Perisic on the left was even more ruthless. He passed Arnold, whose defensive skills were almost zero, and then sent a pass into the penalty area.

Assist Rebic to score the goal!

0:1!

Croatia breaks the deadlock!

-

This was not over yet. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lee Polo took another long shot. The ball bypassed the goalkeeper's fingers, but eventually hit the post and was cleared by Vida.

Rebic, who is 1.85 meters tall, squeezed away Stones who was 1.88 meters tall, and passed the falling ball to his teammates, and then... it became a one-man performance moment!

Maguire, Stones, Luke Shaw, and Henderson, four English players surrounded Kramaric who was driving the ball, but the forward who played for Hoffenheim was surrounded by such a tight net.

He moved around for nearly 10 seconds, then turned and volleyed with one kick, blasting away the city guarded by Pickford!

0:2!

Croatia returned to the locker room with a two-goal lead. The head coach, players, and fans all had ecstatic expressions on their faces!

The World Cup champion actually conceded two goals in 45 minutes?!

England surrendered 12 shots in the first half, but did not convert into a goal! -

【This can’t go on like this!】

Seeing the team's morale plummeting, Li Polo couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he returned to the locker room.

He completed a total of 5 shots in the first half, each of which was within the goal frame, but none of the shots could make the opponent's goalkeeper feel threatened. At most, it would make Lovren have a snot on his face...

He thought about it for a full 15 minutes, and finally turned to Sterling, who was grinning and telling jokes to Henderson:

"Rahim, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Sterling was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head:

"I'm fine!"

Li Polo held his head:

"No, you need to rest!"

-

Although the outcome of this game is meaningless to England, Southgate is also unwilling to end the group stage journey with a defeat, so he listened to Lee Polo's advice and immediately used Rashford

Germany replaced Sterling.

Master La just appeared and created a huge threat!

After receiving the pass from Lingard, he ignored Lee Polo's signal for a through ball. Instead, he forced his way into the penalty area and hit the fans with a lever shot!

Rashford's shooting routine is too monotonous. Apart from explosive shooting, he seems to have no other skills!

I saw the football hit goalkeeper Kalinic's left leg firmly, and then... it bounced to the right side!

"Boy! Your shot is too good to guess!"

Kalinic couldn't help but let out a wave of ridicule.

But a second later, the goalkeeper regretted it!

【Who am I to laugh at Rashford?!】

Kalinic, who had just blocked Rashford's shot, watched helplessly as Lee Polo appeared on the path where the ball bounced back, and then raised his foot!

1:2!

England come back! -

Sterling's dismissal seemed to have completely activated the entire England offense.

In the 57th minute, Arnold's long-range shot hit Shan Zhenhu, but was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.

But the ensuing corner kick gave Lipolo another opportunity to show off. This time he no longer had any flaws. He hit an absolutely ferocious header and Kalinic didn't even react!

2:2!

Fourteen minutes after Sterling came off the field, England scored two goals in a row to equalize the score!

Sterling, who was sitting on the bench, finally stopped laughing!

【Why is the national team stronger without me!】

[Negative sentiment from Raheem Sterling, +233!]

He shook his head vigorously to dispel this terrible negative emotion:

[No, it must be because everyone didn’t show up in the last game, so most people need to get back into shape again! 】

-

Sterling, who had just gained some self-comfort, saw Lee Polo, with Lovren on his back, pass the ball back. Henderson, the captain of the Three Lions and Sterling's old teammate, was 20 meters away from the goal.

He drew his bow and arrow, and came up with an earth-shattering long-distance shot!

3:2!

England completes reversal!

【This is not true!】

Looking at Henderson who was celebrating uncontrollably, Sterling opened his mouth:

[This guy Jordan can’t score a goal in a year! 】

【Sterling,+555!】

-

What frustrated Sterling was yet to come. The Three Lions, who had regained their confidence, were in full bloom. Kane and Rashford made contributions one after another. Even Maguire used a corner kick opportunity to add icing on the cake and expand the score continuously.

When Lee Polo completed an 18-meter long shot at the last minute, England finally stopped bombarding.

The score of this game is fixed at 7:2!

Lee Polo scored a hat trick, plus two assists!

With 3 goals, Lipolo also completely surpassed the Iranian striker Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals, and became the player with the most goals for the national team in football history!

He scored 110 goals for England in 22 national team games!

Average 5.0 goals per game!
