The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 729 The Conscience of British Football

March 16th.

The sixth round of the English FA Cup, the quarter-finals knockout round.

Chelsea went away to face the challenge of Crystal Palace.

——Another "London Derby"!

Looking at the starting players from both sides filing in, Lineker was still chatting with the two guests:

"As expected, Lee Poirot can only be on the bench for the time being in this game, and Giroud appears at the forefront of Chelsea's striker..."

Carragher looked "naturally":

"He just finished competing in the European Indoor Athletics Championships yesterday evening. He participated in 7 individual events in three days. Even if his body is made of iron, he probably won't be able to withstand it, right?"

"cut!"

Neville sneered at his comment.

Carragher immediately raised his voice:

"why are you laughing?"

Neville shrugged his shoulders and answered his question:

"To borrow from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's famous saying, lions do not recover as slowly as humans. Lee Polo's body is stronger than three lions!"

-

Along with the interaction between the two commentators, the players from both sides formed their formations in their respective halves.

After tossing the coin, the referee gave the two captains a few more words before letting them leave.

The referee did not blow the whistle immediately, but glanced around and lowered his head slightly.

Just like him with their heads hanging down, there were also players and coaches from both sides!

Lineker was obviously stunned for a moment:

"Both sides are expressing condolences..."

His heart was full of doubts, because the FA did not tell anyone that there would be a silent ceremony today!

He quickly took a look at the other three games that were going on at the same time, but unexpectedly discovered that except for this game, there was no such extra ceremony in the other games!

-

"call……"

Cudicini, who was standing on the sidelines, ended the short silence ceremony.

He subconsciously glanced at Li Polo behind him, who nodded to him and sat down on the bench.

Yes, the moment of silence before the game was organized by Lee Polo.

Compared with other sports, the FA's response this time was somewhat slow.

After softball and other competitions collectively raised their voices to express support for the tragedy in New Zealand, the Football Association has yet to take any action.

Therefore, half an hour before the start of this round of the FA Cup, Lee Polo contacted the Crystal Palace coaching team and put forward his hopes:

"As representatives of football, we can express comfort to the souls of those who are far away in Oceania."

Crystal Palace only thought about it for 10 minutes before giving a positive answer!

After all...Li Polo also said something:

"If someone disagrees with my proposal, I can only start and express condolences to the victims in New Zealand with practical actions!"

Using 20 seconds of silence in exchange for Lee Polo sitting on the bench, this agreement is so worth it!

-

Although Lee Poirot did not play, Chelsea still did not give Crystal Palace any chance.

After 90 minutes, Giroud, who served as the starting center, scored twice. Hazard and Rudiger made contributions successively, setting the score at 4:1!

——No way, due to the activity of Crystal Palace forward Zaha, Chelsea’s defense players had to miss the clean sheet bonus again!

Lee Polo, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes, finally left with satisfaction without even doing a warm-up.

The head coach of Crystal Palace, who was playing at home, was also satisfied and gave the players 10 days off!

It’s just 1:4. This score is so beautiful! -

"Except Chelsea and Crystal Palace, other Premier League teams have no concern or sympathy for the horrific incident in New Zealand!"

"The London Derby has become the only face of English football!"

As soon as the game ended, some media publicly criticized the FA for not responding to current hot topics in a timely manner.

Gregg, the chairman of the Football Association, who has been criticized by the outside world, although he was a little anxious, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

——The existence of Chelsea at least allows the Football Association to retain a little face and prevent it from total defeat.

But then, those pervasive reporters revealed the inside story of this game:

"Is it Li Polo who suggested a moment of silence before the game?"

"The silence ceremony in the London Derby was just a spontaneous act by the two teams and has nothing to do with the FA!"

These reporters seemed to be at the scene at that time and recalled clearly what Lee Polo did:

"It was because of Lee Polo's strong persistence that English football did not lose to softball!"

"He is worthy of Sir Alex Lee, who was personally awarded the honor by the Queen. He has indeed lived up to Queen Elizabeth's trust and is worthy of being the conscience and backbone of the entire society!"

Just because the FA's response was half a beat too late, Lee Polo received huge social praise!

FA Chairman Greg, his intestines are full of regret now!

[If I had known better, I would have had a few less drinks last night!]

——

After the FA Cup quarter-finals, Chelsea players disbanded and went to their respective national teams.

The European Cup qualifiers are in full swing. As the new World Cup champions, the Three Lions do not want to have any surprises in the European Cup. It will make people laugh that "the World Cup champions cannot even participate in the European Cup main matches."

In the new batch of England squad, Southgate also changed players according to the actual situation.

Luke Shaw, Joe Gomez, Stones, Lingard, Loftus-Cheek, Winks and others were not called up either due to injuries or unstable form. Instead, they were replaced by several players from the national team.

New faces.

For example, Southampton midfielder Ward-Prowse, West Ham United's young midfielder Rice, and Chelsea's left winger Callum Odoi.

There is another player that British fans are not very familiar with. He is a talented young player who was born in 2000 and is currently playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, striker Sancho!

Leading these young and talented players, Lee Polo ushered in the first round of the European Cup qualifying group stage.

The Three Lions sit at Wembley Stadium and face the challenge from the Czech Republic! -

"..."

To be honest, after Cech retired, there are no players worth introducing in the current Czech team.

In the Three Lions' pre-match preparations, only a little insignificant information could be found.

Among the 11 players in the starting lineup, the vast majority are worth less than 2 million euros!

Only the leading forward Patrick Schick has slightly more detailed information.

The forward, who was born in 1996, joined Sampdoria in Serie A with a transfer fee of 3.6 million when he was 20 years old. A year later, he was loaned to Roma.

After a year of trial training, the Red Wolves were impressed by his talent and bought out his contract for 42 million euros!

From Li Polo's perspective, he really didn't understand why this forward was worth so much money?

You know, in the season when he was loaned to Roma, his report card was only 26 appearances in various fronts and scoring 3 goals!

Even in his most efficient season of 2016-2017, he only scored 14 goals in 35 games!

You know, Salah, who was sold to Liverpool in 2017, only earned 42 million!

Roma just used the funds from selling Salah to buy such a waste with 3 goals in 26 games?

If he is worth 42 million, then Lee Polo’s 180 million is too cheap!
