The biggest fanatic in football

Due to the Carabao Cup, the 28th round of English League Two originally scheduled to be played on the same day on February 2 had to be postponed.

As for when it will be postponed, it depends on the overall schedule of the Football Association and the schedule of their opponent Morecambe.

Five days later, on February 7, Wimbledon welcomed its opponent in the 29th round of the league at home, Newport, who was seventh in the standings.

Lee Polo still had some vague impressions of this opponent, and goalkeeper Xie A was even more reluctant to recall:

Because their first loss this season was the first round matchup with Newport!

In that game, Lee Polo, who started the game, played the full 90 minutes and scored a goal. However, due to Shea's reckless foul and a "red card penalty gift", Wimble, who was missing one man,

Deng played extremely passively and lost to his opponent 2:4 in the end.

But this time it’s completely different!

The mad gang, determined to avenge the enemy, has been transformed after experiencing repeated duels with high-level giants. Coupled with the advantage of sitting on the home court, Newport was almost unable to fight back!

Akinfenwa, who had been resting for more than a week, broke out completely and directly defeated the opponent's dense defense with a hat trick!

In order to limit his performance, Newport's defender Kevin Feeley, who had played for the Crazy Gang, was sent off in the 56th minute, which made Newport completely give up hope of a comeback!

With the morale of the army being slack, no one was in the mood to mark a defender. Lee Polo took advantage of the chaos and scored a header, locking the score at 4:0!

Speaking of which, Lee Polo, who had not scored in the previous three games, can be regarded as breaking the 300-minute "scoring drought" and increasing his number of goals in the league to 11 goals.

As Akinfenwa scored three goals in a row in this game, he successfully overtook Lee Poirot and was second only to Dubis, who scored 14 goals, in the team's League Two scorer list.

If you look at the entire English League Two, the player with the most goals is Northampton's Marco Richards who scored 15 goals, followed by Dubis and Plymouth's Reuben Reid with one goal difference.

After that, Collins of Shrewsbury was third with 13 goals, Akinfenwa was fourth with 12 goals, and Lee Polo with 11 goals could only be ranked fifth. However, there were at least five or six other players who also scored 11 goals.

…

This is the chaotic current situation of the English League Two, and because the players in the lower-level leagues are very mobile, many players who performed well in the first half are often recalled by the home team after January, or join higher-level clubs.

team, their scoring record has naturally stagnated.

In fact, Dubis's home team Bournemouth issued a recall order to him, but considering that his personal ability was not enough to gain a foothold in the English Championship, he simply refused the recall order and continued to stay in the English Second League.

-

There are only 28 days in February, but Wimbledon has to play 7 games, which is equivalent to playing a game every 4 days. You can imagine the intensity.

There are three knockout cup matches, as well as a key battle for the league championship - in the 30th round of the league, they are going to challenge Burton, who is second in the standings!

February 10, 10 am.

Li Poluo and his teammates boarded the bus bound for the north.

After traveling more than 300 kilometers, they arrived at the Pirelli Stadium, the visiting team's stadium on the banks of the Trent River in Staffordshire.

This professional football stadium named after a famous Italian tire brand is only slightly more luxurious than the King's Turf Stadium. The stadium can accommodate 6,912 spectators, of which only 2,034 are seated and the rest are standing seats - despite the experience in the last century

After the Hillsborough disaster, the British government and the Football Association forced the cancellation of all standing seats in the first and second tiers of leagues. However, in lower-level stadiums, standing seats are still retained and are even more popular than seats.

After all...the maintenance cost of standing seats is definitely much lower than that of seats!

Since they have played one less league game, Wimbledon's lead in the standings is still 8 points, which looks very unsafe. Therefore, for this "focus battle for the championship", the Kuang Gang is extremely cautious from top to bottom.

Pay attention to.

After all, Burton have been eliminated from all cup competitions. They only need to focus on one English League Two event and do not need to consider rotation issues. Compared with Wimbledon, their physical reserves are much more sufficient.

This focused battle was uneventful at the beginning. Although both sides had offensive and defensive attacks on each other, neither side created many scoring opportunities.

There were indeed many free kicks and corner kicks, but Burton's defensive players were always entangled with Lee Polo like brown sugar, making it impossible for him to jump up and fight comfortably.

Akinfenwa, who scored a hat-trick in the last game, seemed to have entered the sage mode of wanting nothing. In this game, he played without any enthusiasm. Although Dubis succeeded in countering offside several times, his teammates' passes

It was always a little bit off, unable to match his running rhythm, and was eventually resolved by the goalkeeper without exception.

At the 65th minute, a scene that changed the situation appeared:

Burton's midfielder sent a through ball. They avoided Lee Polo's defensive area and sent the ball to Phillips' side!

As the captain of the field, Phillips suddenly became anxious. He shot at the edge of the penalty area and brought down the home team's ace shooter Akins who successfully resisted offside. The referee directly showed him a red card!

Xie A, who had blocked the angle, was so angry that he kicked the goalpost!

【What are you afraid of letting him in?】

[Let me show you my goal-line saving technique!]

Li Polo, who was five meters away, couldn't help but shook his head:

"Is this Burton... specifically trying to defeat us? Someone gets a red card in every game?"

While cursing, Adele replaced Akinfenwa, who was not excited enough, with Goodman, and replaced Moore, who had not yet integrated into the tactics, with Sweeney, pushing Lee Poirot to the midfield position.

The opponent's through ball just now was due to Moore's failure to defend it immediately!

In the absence of one person, Lee Polo's interception ability will undoubtedly play a greater role!

Before leaving the field, Phillips originally wanted to hand the captain's armband to Moore, but when he saw that the latter was also replaced, he had to give it to Lee Polo.

Fuller and Smith, the captain and deputy captain, are both recuperating in the hospital. The qualifications of other teammates are basically half-matched. I really don’t know who to give the captain’s armband to.

Adelai, who was busy adjusting tactics, had no time to care about such a trivial matter. When he finished changing the players, he realized that Li Polo had already put the armband on his arm.

The head coach couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained:

"You should give it to Rigg or Potter!"

Cox quickly came to the rescue for his beloved general:

"How about I ask him to change it back?"

Adele waved his hand:

"It doesn't matter, it's not important at all."

Li Polo, who put on the armband, was in high spirits:

"Guys, from now on, follow my command!"

Rigg, Porter, Francon, Dubes:

"..."

Just listen to his unceremonious orders:

"Porter, you are responsible for sorting out the middle and trying to separate the wings as quickly as possible. Rigg and Francon, you will pass the ball from the wings; Dubis, you open up the space for me, and I will be responsible for completing the final blow!

"

Rigg, Porter, Francon, Dubes:

"...Can't you just say the fourth offensive tactic?"

Li Polo puffed up his chest and answered without blushing:

"Don't talk back to the captain, get moving!"

[Negative sentiment from Sean Rigg, 1]

【Frankon,1】

【Porter,2】

【Dubis,2】

【Adley,2!】

Li Polo was stunned for a moment, then cautiously turned his head and glanced at the head coach on the sidelines.

Adele stared at him expressionlessly, and even raised his chin.

Li Polo thought optimistically:

[This must be a compliment for my ability to quickly stabilize the morale of the army!]

【I can't live up to the trust of the head coach!】

So he cheered up and led the whole team to launch a winning charge towards Burton.

Finally, 15 minutes after Phillips was given a red card, Wimbledon, after many attempts, finally successfully played their fourth offensive tactic!

Rieger's pass accurately bypassed Burton's center back and found Lee Polo who was ambushing behind Dubis.

The captain, who was called upon to do so at the critical moment, accepted the gift from his teammates with a smile without hesitation!

"Whoosh!"

1:0!

Lee Polo scored the winner in the 81st minute!
