The biggest fanatic in football

"Good guy, who asked you to wear the captain's armband?"

After the game, Cox spoke to Lee Polo on behalf of the coaching team.

The person involved grinned unconsciously:

"Mark put the armband into my hand, and I naturally thought he thought I was qualified! Do you think I'm not good enough?"

Cox couldn't help but be defeated by his confidence and arrogance:

"Do you really think Wimbledon doesn't care about seniority? You are only a little older than Sweeney in the first team, how dare you be captain?"

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"What you said is not unreasonable. If you want me to be the captain, you must at least give me the maximum salary in the team!"

Cox:

"...You are such a little logic genius!"

-

Lee Polo wore the captain's armband for 25 minutes, so this was not a problem at all.

Adelai’s current headache is Lee Polo’s defense partner:

Mark Phillips' red card earned him a three-game ban.

According to FA regulations, these three suspensions apply to English League Two and various cup competitions.

This also means that in the FA Cup four days later and the British Championship eight days later, he can only act as the water dispenser manager...

With the two full-backs still recuperating from injuries, the most experienced player in the defense was also unable to play. Adelai's formation was suddenly severely restricted - he could almost only play with open cards!

Kennedy, Goodman, Lee Polo, and Osraja start, and the defenders who can serve as substitutes... the 18-year-old Sweeney, who is only 1.91 meters tall.

Fortunately, the opponent in the next round of the FA Cup is not a powerful team from the Premier League, but a English League One team, Preston.

-

Adre is unhappy, but the person even more unhappy than him is Lisanna Taylor.

Because...this FA Cup match has been scheduled for February 14th, Saturday!

The kick-off time is even more inhumane at 20:45!

On this supposedly very sweet holiday, not only was she unable to be held in the warm embrace of her boyfriend, but she had to watch an extremely dull football match in the snow!

Well, although she has been a die-hard Fans fan since she was a child, this does not affect her resentment towards the Football Association at all...

Her best friend Mira Beryl was also shivering in the cold wind and could only ask for help from the male fans around her:

"Can any gentleman help us?"

Mike, the vice president of the fans association sitting in the front row, jumped out:

"As long as you are willing to date me, I will take off my coat right now!"

Lisanna stretched out her hands, took off her eldest brother's coat, and then kicked the vice president down:

"You just got married three months ago!"

-

Preston are very strong. They are temporarily ranked fourth in the English League One standings, and the third ranked team is Milton Keynes.

After 30 rounds of the league, Milton scored 61 goals and conceded 27, while Preston scored 45 goals and conceded 28. The gap is clear at a glance.

Relatively speaking, Preston is a team with a balanced offense and defense, or in other words, their offensive ability is weak.

Perhaps in order to strengthen their offensive capabilities, in this game, they set up a 352 formation, which was almost exactly the same as Liverpool before.

Adray asked his assistant with some confusion:

"When did three centre-backs become popular in English football?"

Cox looked even more confused:

"Aren't you the head coach? I thought you knew everything!"

Adele glared at him:

"What did you say?"

Cox was shocked and immediately reorganized his words:

"I said... they are violating the fine traditions of English football and will surely perish in front of our noble 442!"

What he said was absolutely correct, Preston's defeat was doomed from the beginning.

Originally, they were indeed stronger because they had two super shooters, Joe Garner and Beckford.

The former is on loan from Nottingham Forest in the English Championship. He is worth as much as 1.5 million pounds. He currently leads the English top scorer list with 15 goals. He is responsible for one-third of the team's goals. Moreover, he also scored in the league three days ago.

He scored twice and helped the team win a big victory. His feet were very hot.

The latter was just loaned from Bolton Wanderers in the English Championship during the winter window. He scored 5 goals in just one month and quickly became another scoring point for the team.

Unfortunately, new aid Beckford was injured accidentally a week ago and is destined to miss this game.

What's even more unfortunate is that the only ace shooter they can play, Joe Garner, is best at scoring goals...with headers.

When Lee Polo saw his basic information for the first time, he didn't believe his eyes and even directly questioned Cox:

"He is only 1.78 meters tall, so why is he good at heading the ball?"

Cox glanced at him:

"You are only 1.81 meters tall and less than an inch taller than him. Why are you so good at heading the ball?"

[It seems...that makes sense!]

Faced with the ironclad facts, Lee Polo had to accept it and take this opponent seriously.

Then he immediately dug out Joe Garner's weaknesses from the information:

His skills with his feet are extremely rough, and... he likes to commit fouls!

As a forward, he actually received 5 yellow cards this season and was suspended for this reason. Lee Polo, known as the "No. 1 Butcher in English Second Division", only had 3 yellow cards!

Lee Polo, who had thoroughly studied his opponent, decided to put on a good show.

In the 13th minute of the game, Joe Garner, who was receiving the ball with his back, was intercepted by Lee Polo with his foot. However, the latter did not transfer the ball immediately. Instead, he tried to advance with the ball by himself. Joe Garner took the opportunity.

After a flying tackle, he tried to counterattack on the spot and attack again, but his sliding tackle did not touch the ball at all!

But...the next second, Lee Polo, who was still 5 centimeters away from Joe Garner's toes, rolled forward and fell to the ground holding his legs!

The referee hesitated for three seconds. He was a bit far away and could not fully see the actions of both parties. However, he looked at Lee Polo's realistic performance and remembered Joe Garner's "notoriety", and finally moved towards this

The striker showed a yellow card!

[Negative sentiment from Joe Garner, 5!]

Just 10 minutes later, Lee Polo repeated his old tricks and fell in front of Joe Garner again. But this time he got up immediately, neither entangled too much with his opponent nor complained to the referee.

The referee frowned and didn't find anything wrong. Instead, he added a little bit of positive comments to Li Polo.

[After being knocked down, he could have put pressure on me, but instead of crying or making a fuss, he stood up on his own initiative. Such honest players are rare anymore...]

Joe Garner is also a bit baffled.

[What’s the point of this flop? Are you kidding yourself? 】

Looking at the England striker with a confused look on his face, Lee Polo showed a disdainful smile.

[You know what the heck, this is called foreshadowing! It’s called foreplay!

If I complain to the referee as a victim twice in a row, he will somewhat doubt my intentions.

But now that I have shown my tenacity and unyielding sportsmanship and become more courageous with every setback, it will deepen my good image in the head referee's mind. The next time I fall, the head referee will be more resolute in playing cards to you!】

The first half finally ended with 0:0. Joe Garner had no idea that a conspiracy had already locked him.

In the second minute of the second half, Lee Polo couldn't wait to implement his plot.

At that time, Joe Garner had his back to the goal and was about to catch the ball, but Lee Polo completed the move around to steal half a second earlier. Joe Garner stepped on his half-stretched right foot subconsciously!

"Ouch!"

The moment the two sides came into contact, Li Polo let out a shrill wail like a beast caught in a trap that bit his thigh!

Even in the windy and snowy stadium, the audience in the stands heard his screams!

Lisanna almost jumped!

"He's hurt again?!"

Seeing her boyfriend lying motionless on the grass, her heart almost broke!

Then she saw the referee holding up a yellow card and showing it to Preston's ace shooter.

A yellow card, then a red card!

[Negative sentiment from Joe Garner, 10!]

Li Polo, who was lying on the turf, showed a happy smile.

There are still more than 40 minutes left in the game, but the outcome is already determined!

Preston don't even have a serious forward, how can they attack Wimbledon?
