Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 17 The new opponent turned out to be...

"Mr. Ardley, how do you feel now?"

Although it was only the first round of the League Cup, the organizer still set up a post-match press conference - of course, there were only four or five media in the entire venue.

Facing the reporter's question, Adre made no secret of his true feelings, and even smiled:

"Yes, this feeling is so good, I want to fly into the sky! I definitely don't want to touch my wife again in a day, because the two feelings are too far apart!"

The home team coach Robinson couldn't help frowning:

[After all, he is the head coach of a low-level team, and his mouth is full of vulgar standards. 】

But... what can I do?

Who made you lose to him at home!

Competitive sports, winners and losers, no matter how upset you can only blame yourself!
Just listen to the reporter continue to ask:
"You once encountered great difficulties. What made you catch up and complete the reversal in the second half?"

Adrey nodded vigorously:
"It is true that the team captain was off due to injury, the young substitute was sent off with a red card, and the away game conceded two goals in a row. This first half was like a nightmare, but..."

The head coach continued with determination in his eyes:

"Back in the locker room, I told the players that Wimbledon is never a team that gives up easily, not to mention...our opponent is Milton Keynes! We must show the spirit of the mad gang, and we must be worthy of the blue team on our body. I am worthy of those die-hard fans who traveled with the team!"

Robinson pouted:
[If I hadn't underestimated the enemy and been careless, it would be useless for you to have fighting spirit and spirit! 】
-
While Adelaide was still impassioned to add his own role, Li Polo, who had changed his clothes, had already started the post-match settlement.

Although he only played more than 50 minutes in the second half, as the "short board" of the whole team, he has suffered the most violent siege of the opponent for a long time, so he also handed over quite excellent defensive data.

5次拦截、3次抢断、1次头球解围、6次犯规、以及1张黄牌。

Of course, he also caused the opponent's offensive core Dele Ali to be injured, let the opponent's central defender get a red card, and scored the final lore that determined the outcome!

With such a performance, he also completed a wave of crazy harvest on the entire Milton Keynes team, from the coach to the players, contributing up to 61 negative emotions for him!
You know, in the first round of the league, he started and played the whole game, only to gain 36 emotion points!
Still a mortal enemy is interesting enough!
Looking at the experience bar that has skyrocketed by a large amount, Li Poluo felt refreshed.

An emotionless electronic voice sounded in my ears again:
【当前等级：Lv1，总经验：129/100，七项属性总评分：368/700，天赋技能：鹰眼Lv1（16/100）。是否立刻升级？】

He chose to nod without hesitation.

There was another "ding" in my mind:
[Current level: Lv2, total experience: 129/1000...]

Li Poluo was dumbfounded:
"It's too bad, isn't it? The upgrade experience of the second level is ten times that of the first level?!"

The electronic voice ignored him, but continued to ask:

[Do you want to exchange 5 upgrade attribute points? 】

Li Poluo hesitated for a second:

"Can't you exchange for new skills?"

After this thrilling game, he is very eager to gain offensive ability!
If the last long-distance attack can be scored directly, there is no need to gamble on another corner kick attack.

The electronic voice answered him without hesitation:

[Currently no permission!Please choose to exchange for 5 attribute points, or exchange for 50 experience points of existing skills. 】

Lee Polo didn't hesitate this time:
"Exchange for 5 attribute points."

The seven attributes in front of him suddenly became three-dimensional, and each number was waiting for his "favor".

Speed: 76.

Ball possession: 45.

Shots: 19.

Passes: 23.

Defense: 68.

Body: 74.

Spirit: 63.

Total score: 372/700.

Li Poluo took two deep breaths, and made his choice consciously:

"Defense: 68 → 73.

Total score: 368 → 373/700. "

He put all the 5 attributes he just obtained on defense!

Instead of strengthening the poor offensive ability, let's do our job first! -
An hour later, it was 11:[-] a.m. London time.

Li Poluo was dragged by other teammates to a nearby bar.

Of course he is very clear that as a professional player, he should try to keep his contact with alcohol products as little as possible, but...a fourth-tier club, who cares so much about you?
The lore and elimination of the mortal enemy at home, such an achievement is indeed worthy of celebration.What's more, the high-spirited head coach Adele promised in person at the press conference:

"There is no alcohol prohibition or curfew tonight, and everyone will not go home until they are drunk!"

Of course, relying on the economic strength of this group of players with a weekly salary of less than 2000 yuan, it is simply not enough to book out the most luxurious entertainment venues in London. What they choose is just a public bar.

Veteran captain Barry Fuller, who attended the party injured, was the first to raise his glass:

"Guys, I'm sorry to be injured in such an important game. I really wanted to beat Milton Keynes myself. I'm glad you didn't let me down!"

"Oh hoo!"

Someone uttered a strange cry, and the box was filled with the sound of clinking wine glasses.

Fuller raised his chin towards Lee Polo:

"Little guy, you played well."

Li Poluo was not humble at all, he laughed and responded to him:
"Captain, you and the vice-captain should take good care of your injuries, and I will guard the right side for you!"

Under the dim light, he didn't notice that Fuller's face seemed to become more gloomy.

But the prompt that followed made him very clear:
[Negative emotions from Barry Fuller +2! 】

Lee Polo was taken aback:
Obviously no longer in the game, why do you still receive negative emotions?
Is this the change after the upgrade? -
The New Wimbledon Club, which had been partying all night, had to cancel the training plan for the second day. Until the third morning, some people still showed up at the training base in a daze.

"Good morning, gentlemen. There is no time to sober you up. The next game is less than 60 hours away."

Assistant coach Cox yawned, rubbed his nose, and turned to Lee Polo:

"Unfortunately, we have to lose captain Barry Fuller, and his first substitute, Adedeji Osraja, at right-back... I'm afraid it's up to you."

Fuller will be injured for at least three weeks, and Osraja's red card will make him suspended for three games, which means that Li Polo will automatically become the team's first choice for right back in the next league game!

Get a starter for nothing!

Facing the coach's expectation, Li Poluo nodded calmly in response.

Seeing that the players are in good condition, the head coach Adre is not happy at all:
"Our schedule this month will be very tight, which is equivalent to going through the devil's schedule in advance. There are two games every week. This start may be a bit difficult for us."

The only remaining third captain, Mark Phillips, expressed his determination on behalf of the players:
"We can even beat a League One team like Milton Keynes, so don't worry too much about your league opponents."

Adrey's eyes were even more melancholy:
"I'm not worried about the league, what worries me now is... the second round of the League Cup."

Phillips froze for a moment:
"Has the result of the lottery come out? Who is our opponent?"

Adrey scratched his hair vigorously:

"Manchester United."

After hearing this name, the training ground suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Adrey and Cox looked at each other, and each showed a wry smile.

Such a reaction is really normal!
Manchester United, referred to as... Manchester United.

They are not the same as Milton Keynes. They are the top giants in England, Europe and the world, and they are the unique overlords in the Premier League era!
Behemoth, aircraft carrier!
Even if... Ferguson just retired a year ago, even if Manchester United played in a mess last season, it will not affect Manchester United's status in the British Isles in the slightest!
Watching the silent players, Cox coughed to break the deadlock:

"The game against Manchester United is two weeks away. Considering our intensive schedule, this game can be properly rotated..."

Although he said "proper rotation", everyone could hear that he meant "give up directly"!
"Coach, I disagree."

The third captain Phillips stood up directly:

"Why can't we fight with all our strength?"

Cox froze:

"Go all out against Manchester United?"

Phillips grinned:

"We... are crazy gangs! Even if they are the giants of the Premier League, what is there to be afraid of?"

As an old player of the team, he understands the traditional temperament of the team better than the first and second captains. Driven by him, Akinfenwa, Dubis, Rigg, Francon and others also expressed their approval. :
"Yes, we are not afraid of Manchester United!"

"Manchester United will definitely underestimate us, we can definitely catch him by surprise!"

"Yes, yes, Manchester United has just changed coaches and is still in the rebuilding phase. We have a chance to win!"

It doesn't matter to Lee Polo, anyway, Fuller is still recovering from his injury, no matter whether he rotates or not, he will probably have his own position on the back line.

He also fully understands the feelings of his teammates.

Cup competitions such as the League Cup and the FA Cup have always been called "hotbeds of unpopularity". Those Premier League giants often capsize on low-level teams. Thus completing the transformation of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate and reaching the sky in one step...

Facing the players who had already started discussing the probability of winning, Cox could only ask the head coach for help, Adre shrugged his shoulders:

"Since you all think this way, I have to respect everyone. But... the premise is that the previous three rounds of the league must not be played too badly. If it affects the results of the league, it will still have to be rotated."

The players cheered without thinking:
"That's natural!"

Seeing the smile finally revealed on Adrey's face, Li Polo suddenly understood:
[This guy was fishing from the beginning, right? 】
