Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 403 Lee Ballmaster Polo

After defeating Malta 4:0, the Three Lions returned to the British Isles the next day to prepare for the game two days later.

As Southgate said before, this is a crucial game.

在这个小组的五个对手里，斯洛伐克是唯一有希望威胁到英格兰的球队，前7轮他们取得了5胜2负的战绩，以15分紧随6胜1平19分的英格兰之后，双方分差只有4分。

In the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Slovakia relied on the home court advantage and drew 90:0 with England in the regular 0 minutes. They lost the tie...

It is worth mentioning that in that game, Slovakia's main central defender and "Prison Break" Skrtel, who once played for Liverpool, got a red card in the 57th minute.In such an unfavorable situation, they still fought until the last minute, and the overall spirit was very tenacious.

This kind of powerful opponent who lacks big-name superstars and has mediocre skills, but relies on fighting spirit to fight to the end is the type that England fears the most...

After all, the British media is too developed, and they always like to hype up their own players, which has led to the serious overestimation of English players as a whole.

In this general environment, these players sometimes really think that they are the top superstars, and they should press down on the mud legs from Eastern Europe!
Even after reading the opposite starting list, Li Polo had this illusion:
What Eastern European iron cavalry is just another Scotland at the mercy of others!
No wonder he thinks so, because Slovakia is indeed unavailable!
The 30-year-old captain Hamsik is undoubtedly the most famous player in Slovakia, but he has also begun to decline in his career.

Among the 11 starting players, six of them are over 36 years old, and the oldest central defender Jurica is already [-] years old. How can he stop Li Polo? -
On September 9, more than 6 home fans poured into Wembley Stadium.

In the stands of enthusiastic fans, a huge poster of Lee Polo fluttered impressively.

Some fans even publicly stated in a TV interview:

"We hope that Lee Polo will continue his scoring efficiency of 10 goals per game in the national team to this game!"

The whole of Wembley, and even the whole of England, was filled with bursting self-confidence.

As long as they win this game, they will be able to qualify for the 2018 World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule!
-
"drop!"

Even the most imaginative screenwriter can't write such a weird plot.

Less than 80 seconds after the referee blew his whistle, Slovakia broke through the gate of England!

Hamsikra made a side pass, and the 1.9-meter-zero tall center Nemetz withstood Cahill in the penalty area and then passed the header back. The 22-year-old midfielder Lopotka directly swung his foot and shot from a long distance!

Joe Hart didn't react at all, and was pierced through his fingers by this powerful long-range shot!
0: 1!

It wasn't until Polotka finished shooting that England's commentators woke up like a dream.

"Slovakia is not just Hamsik and Skrtel!"

"This Lopoteka is the absolute main force of La Liga powerhouse Celta Vigo!"

"In addition to them, another young midfielder, Skriniar, is by no means an ordinary person! He just joined Inter Milan with a transfer fee of 2800 million euros a month ago!"

——According to the price comparison between Serie A and the Premier League, about half of England's starting 11 players are not worth 2800 million...

Such as Joe Hart, Bertrand, Jones, Cahill, Henderson, Dyer, Chamberlain.

What qualifications do they have to underestimate the enemy? -
The Three Lions, who had suffered a blow to the head, quickly launched a counterattack, but although they were aggressive, they had little effect.

England commentator Lineker saw the problem:

"As the core of the playmaker, Dele Ali seems to seldom pass the ball to Li Polo?"

Guest commentator Carragher scratched his head:

"Is there any grievance between them?"

【resentment? 】

Ali almost wrote a history of blood and tears in his heart!

[When he was playing football in Milton Keynes, this young genius who had just debuted was kicked by the brutal Lee Polo and broke his leg! 】

[If it wasn't for my fate, I would have been reimbursed directly for my career at that time! 】

[This hatred cannot be wiped away with a single sentence! 】

[The interests of the national team are indeed important, but so are my personal grievances! 】

Seeing Ali, who hadn't looked directly at him since the start of the game, Li Poluo curled his lips in disdain:
【Do you think I wouldn't score without your pass? 】

[I, Lee Polo, have been in the football world, since when did I rely on the midfielder? 】

[My favorite way of passing the ball is never a through pass or a pick pass from the center, but... a pass from the side! 】

In the 23rd minute, right back Kyle Walker sent a 45-degree cross. Li Polo jumped up from the edge of the penalty area, knocked away Skrtel who was defending him, and smashed the ball in!
1: 1!
-
Only 3 minutes later, Bertrand from the left kicked the ball and made a cross. This time, it was the 36-year-old Giurica who came to compete with Li Polo.

This veteran, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, was unceremoniously turned over by Lee Polo's shoulders before reaching the highest point of take-off!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Dubravka finally saved the header bravely, and the score did not change again.

Giurica, who was lying at the front of the small restricted area, was relieved, but felt a pain in his ribs. He struggled a bit, but he didn't get up!
Fortunately, after being checked by the team doctor, he was only slightly injured and could continue to play. The Slovakian team breathed a sigh of relief.

[I have long heard that the name of Lee Polo's Luyin Butcher resounds throughout England and Spain, but I didn't expect that it was just a reasonable collision today, which made me, an old Jianghu, suffer a big loss! 】

Jurica can still analyze the situation rationally.

As a veteran on the battlefield, he even wanted to give Lee Polo a thumbs up:

[As expected of the number one superstar in the world! 】
-
Since the opponents all commented like this, Lee Polo could not live up to these praises.

In the 31st minute, Bertrand sent another diagonal pass, and this time he finally got an assist, allowing Lee Polo to complete the second header and score 2:1!

The morale of the England team who successfully completed the reversal was greatly boosted. Only 4 minutes later, they had another excellent opportunity. Sterling sent a through kick from the left. Foot burst!
But... perhaps Sterling gave his crosshair to Li Polo, and Li Polo's shot missed the goal range, and flew towards the second-floor stands with a whistling sound!
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Sterling, somewhat puzzled in his heart:
[I obviously lowered it, why did I still push it higher? 】

[Are you infected by this guy's happy temperament? 】

Sterling rolled his eyes inexplicably:
[Although I am indeed very happy, it does not mean that you can slander me casually! 】

【What level is your shooting technique? Don't you have any idea? 】
-
Not being able to complete the hat-trick made Li Polo somewhat unhappy.

So he wanted to find a scapegoat to vent his negative emotions.

When he returned to the locker room at halftime, he put on a ball-dominant attitude in front of all his teammates.

I saw him lift his chin towards Ali:
"If I remember correctly, you didn't pass me a single pass for the entire 45 minutes."

Ali looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

Lee Polo sat down in his own position with great confidence:
"Mr. Coach, I don't think Dele Alli is suitable for the England national team. What do you think?"

There was a sudden silence in the locker room.

All eyes are on the head coach.

Southgate swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and slowly opened his mouth:
"I agree with you. In the second half, Kane came off the bench and we played 442 instead!"

Ali stood up abruptly, staring at Li Poluo with wide eyes.

Lee Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"Young man, if you want to take revenge on me for beating you, then you chose the wrong occasion!"

"This is the national team's game, not a place for you to vent your personal emotions!"

The impotent and furious Ali slammed the door away!

[Negative emotions from Dele Ali, +886! 】
