The biggest fanatic in football

I calculated the Premier League points wrong before. Liverpool is not seventh in the Premier League at this time, but eighth.

-

Because it was too cold in the morning for outdoor sports, Ardrey postponed the last training session until the afternoon.

It is said to be training, but in fact it is mainly focused on warm-up activities. After all, we will face Liverpool in a few hours. The most important task is to keep the players' bodies excited and get into the state in advance.

There are a total of 32 games in this round of the FA Cup, only 8 of which are eligible for television broadcast. Due to Wimbledon's previous consecutive defeats of the weak and the strong, Lee Polo was so eye-catching at the press conference.

The provocation made the Kuang Gang vs. the Red Army the most watched showdown.

In order to attract the maximum TV audience, the event organizers arranged their competition to 7:55 in the evening, and at this time, the sun had already set in London for several hours!

At 5:30 p.m., the Wimbledon players finished their dinner early, leaving ample time for their stomachs to digest.

By 7 o'clock, they had the home advantage and had already gone through the first round of acclimatization at the King's Meadow Stadium. At this time, Liverpool had just received approval to enter the visiting team's dressing room.

It wasn't until 7:30 that Brendan Rodgers took his players onto the playing field and took the time to adapt to the turf.

"Damn, this grass is so soft!"

A master only needs to take two steps to know what his opponent is thinking.

Coutinho, who has exquisite skills, immediately told his coach and teammates:

"They want to limit our passing control!"

If the grass is too soft and slippery, the football will roll faster than usual, it will be more difficult for players to control the force when passing the ball, and it will be more difficult to brake in time when sprinting, which is not friendly to technical players.

However, it is the most suitable for a low-level team like Wimbledon whose main tactics are wide open, long pass and long pass!

The game was about to start in ten minutes. Rogers had no choice but to wave his hand:

"Hurry up and prepare to line up!"

-

At 7:45, there are only 10 minutes left before the game officially starts.

Li Polo and his teammates had listened to the last instructions from the coaching team and began to check their equipment.

The door to the locker room was pushed open by club manager Powell:

"Sorry, I don't want to disturb you, but... they want to cheer you up."

He pointed to the five middle-aged men behind him:

"They were all part of the gang that defeated Liverpool in the 1988 FA Cup final!"

The players all stood up involuntarily.

Although Powell is the club manager, as a club with a dominant fan association, he himself is also the most die-hard fan.

He is more familiar with these "historical figures" than today's coaching team and players - after all, Adele, Cox, including Lee Poirot and Akinfenwa, they can only be regarded as emotionless workers.

Just listen to him introducing the players one by one:

"Our two captains, Bitterson, Kyle,

The legendary striker who scored the winning goal, Lawrie Sanchez,

The bad boy who sent the winning assist, Danny Wise,

And this, today’s movie star, Vinnie Jones!”

Although today's Kuang Gang has long been a changed person, more than half of the team is on loan, and they lack an in-depth understanding of the team's history, let alone a sense of identity and belonging, but when these famous players shake hands with them,

When they hugged each other, everyone still felt their blood surge.

Vinnie Jones, who has starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as "X-Men 3", "The Condemned", and "Escape Plan" grinned at them and glanced at Lee Polo again:

"Is it your boy who provoked Liverpool?"

Li Polo raised his chin:

"That's right."

This "evil professional" slapped him on the shoulder:

"I love you so much, hahaha. Guys, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Liverpool team back then was much better than it is now! Aren't they being stepped on by us?"

Old captain Bitson nodded in agreement and made the final mobilization in one sentence:

"No matter how strong our opponent is, we at Wimbledon are never good kids who just accept our fate!"

-

7:50pm London time.

3:50 am China time.

There are still 5 minutes left before the game whistle blows, and Sina Sports commentator Zhan Jun has already started his work.

"What we bring to you today is a focus battle in the third round of the 134th English FA Cup. AFC Wimbledon from the fourth-tier English League Two plays at home against the veteran Premier League giant 'Red Army' Liverpool..."

He only started, then turned to the sidelines:

"Just three days ago, Liverpool's meritorious captain Steven Gerrard publicly announced that he will leave the team after the end of this season and go to the American Major League to develop. For Red Army fans all over the world, this news is shocking.

So unreal.

How to fill Gerrard's role and influence in the team, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Liverpool to deal with, very difficult to deal with... So Liverpool still have half a season to slowly adapt to Gerrard's absence in the future.

Team days..."

Although the news had passed, he could not help but feel depressed, so much so that he unconsciously repeated his words many times:

"Today Gerrard still represents Liverpool and leads the team as captain. I hope he can perform."

Liverpool's starting lineup appeared on the screen, and he broke away from his emotions in time:

"Compared to the 2:2 draw with Leicester City last Thursday, Liverpool has 4 personnel changes today, including Lambert, Markovic, Manquillo, and Scott, who has returned from suspension.

Director Ter Li, it can be seen that Rogers does not have many reservations today."

Partnering with him is Li Yuankui, the former main defender of the national team. This Tianjin football star who is over 80 years old is still energetic, articulate and quick-thinking:

"Yes, Liverpool is not doing well in the league this season. It is impossible to compete for the championship. If they can compete for a cup championship, it is also a good choice."

Zhan Jun was noncommittal and began to introduce Liverpool's starting lineup:

"Today Liverpool insists on a three-centre-back formation, and the goalkeeper is still Mignolet.

Among the three defenders, Skrtel is in the middle, Sakho and Emre Can are on the left and right.

In the frontcourt, Henderson and Lucas form the double midfielder, Markovic and Manquillo are responsible for the two wings, Lambert is at the forefront as the forward, and captain Gerrard and Coutinho are in the position.

Relatively free.”

Li Yuankui took a look at the players' positions and agreed with him:

"Today we are facing a low-level league opponent. Liverpool's defensive pressure should not be too great. Gerrard can also be freed from a deep position and play his role on the offensive end."

Zhan Jun nodded:

"As for the home team Wimbledon, they are the hottest team in English football recently. But it is not just because of their outstanding performance in the FA Cup, but because they have achieved amazing results on all fronts this season.

Achievements."

The commentator, who is famous for his detailed data, began to look through his own data notes:

"As a fourth-tier team, they are far ahead in the English League Two. At the same time, they have successively won the FA Cup, League Cup, and English Championship. They can be said to have triumphed on all four fronts.

Of course, it must be mentioned that they slaughtered the Red Devils Manchester United with a disparity of 4:0 in the second round of the League Cup. As a result, the famous Dutch coach refused to accept any interviews after the game, and was even fined and suspended by the Football Association...

…”

When talking about Manchester United, Zhan Jun was very calm and did not reveal that he was a Liverpool fan at all:

"This game has become the most talked about topic in England because of the Chinese youngster Lee Polo in their team. He publicly issued a very provocative statement at yesterday's pre-match press conference, which completely detonated the whole country.

Football!”

Li Yuankui chuckled:

"This is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. Although Liverpool is not at the top, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. A fourth-level team, such a provocation, obviously wants to launch a psychological war, making the Liverpool players feel a deep feeling in their hearts.

If you are angry, you will be more likely to make mistakes on the court..."

Zhan Jun also laughed, and then glanced at the Wimbledon starting list.

Although he had explained the League Cup before, he still had no impression of most of the players. He could only read the numbers perfunctorily, and then picked a representative figure:

"Except for the main goalkeeper being unable to play, Wimbledon's main players are playing, especially their forward, Akinfenwa, who is known as the strongest forward in the universe. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms. Let's take a look at him.

Will it pose a threat to Liverpool's defense?"

As if the director at the front heard his explanation, the camera just switched to the player tunnel, and Akinfenwa, who was eight feet tall and had an eight-foot waist, appeared on the screen.

Li Yuankui also exclaimed:

"Haha~ This physique looks stronger than the two forwards of Liverpool!"

The camera starts from Akinfenwa and Lambert at the back, gradually advances to the players in front, and then comes to the vicinity of the captains of both teams.

On the left is Gerrard in red, and on the right is Fuller in blue.

The red and blue war has finally begun.
