Chapter 49

"John, drive faster!"

Immediately after the game, Adley jumped on his own bus with everyone and told the driver to slam the accelerator.

He glanced at the MK stadium behind him with a lingering fear:
"If it's a little later, I'm afraid the Milton fans will smash our bus!"

Cox coughed and glared at Li Bo Luo:
"You shouldn't be so provocative to them!"

Li Bo Luo smiled and shrugged his shoulders:

"We are mortal enemies, is this provocation too much?"

Cox sighed:
"The ignorant are fearless, just wait."

Li Bo Luo wanted to explain a few more words for himself, when he felt a shock in his pocket.

"Baby, you haven't slept yet? Is it because you can't sleep thinking about me?"

There was a groaning sound from the bus.

Aziz protested directly:
"Coach, I'm going to complain about this guy, it's so disgusting!"
-
A three-goal victory over the arch-rival on the road was enough to make Wimbledon drunk again.

But Adre made it clear:
"Drinking and a day off, you can only choose one."

So everyone unanimously decided:
"What's so good about wine? We are professional players!"

Looking at these sensible players, Adre nodded secretly, and then sent the team's decision to general manager Powell.

Powell, who was watching TV on the sofa at home, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, if you want to drink and celebrate together...the club must pay for it!
How good this is, the club has saved thousands of dollars at least!

Wouldn't it be nice to give you bonuses at the end of the year? -
Li Bo Luo felt refreshed when he woke up. He was considering whether to switch the subway to London to surprise his girlfriend when he received a call from assistant coach Cox:

"The League's Disciplinary Committee has just faxed you a three-match ban in all competitions and a £300 fine for your unprofessional act of provoking fans in your last match."

"???"

Li Bo Luo's hands are already shaking.

£300!

This is his salary for two days!
Three-match ban!

This means that the appearance fees, winning bonuses, goal assists and zero seal bonuses for these three games have nothing to do with me!

Another hundreds of dollars to lose!
"Uh...are you listening?"

Cox was afraid that he would not be able to take the blow, and added:
"The probability of successful appeal is almost 0, so the club is not prepared to do this. And Powell has agreed that this fine will be paid by the club, but we hope you take a warning and don't be so impulsive in the game."

Li Bo Luo's eyes lit up and nodded immediately:

"I will never provoke fans again in the future!"

Provocative fans can only make themselves happy for a few seconds, but the next loss is real money!

Cox shook his head over the phone:

"Have a good rest."

Li Bo Luo smiled bitterly:
"The time left for me to rest...but it's too much."
-
Li Bo Luo, who hung up the phone, immediately entered the realm of a saint.

What to surprise your girlfriend, let her study in school!

He washed his face and brushed his teeth sullenly, opened the kitchen again, took a casual bite of lunch, and fell into a state of reflection again.

Obviously, in the next two weeks and three games, although he can participate in the team's training as usual, he can only continue to serve as a sparring partner for the main lineup...

Old captain Fuller, can you sleep well for another two weeks?
The only thing that can be comforted is that after yesterday's 90-minute fierce battle, his 4 attributes in the system have been improved at the same time:

The speed increased from the initial 76 to 77;

Ball control changed from 45 to 46;

Passing changed from 23 to 24;

Physique also changed from 74 to 75;

Hawkeye has risen to 108/500 after the upgrade, and the experience bar of negative emotions has also reached 475/1000. According to the previous rhythm, it does not seem that difficult to upgrade again.

But Li Bo Luo also knows that not every opponent is Manchester United or Milton Keynes, and the opponents who can let him cut leeks are very limited after all.

The listless Li Bo Luo sat sullenly on the sofa for a long time, and finally decided to get rid of his negative emotions.

After trotting all the way to the club, he still chose to vent his vigorous energy on the green field.

But he had just changed into his training clothes, and before he stepped into the training ground, he saw a figure doing a short-distance sprint training.

Just by looking at the "skinny" body shape and flexible movements of the other party, you can tell that this person is definitely not Ajinfenwa who weighs more than 200 pounds...

[Who else could that be? 】

Li Bo Luo walked over a little strangely, and it was the team's main goalkeeper, James Shea.

He suddenly understood.

Xie A was also suspended for three games because he received a red card in the game. In this short period of time, he has nowhere to release his energy!

"Hey, James!"

While Xie A had just finished a set, Li Bo Luo whistled.

Shea stopped in front of the triangular cone, a little surprised:
"Yo, you didn't go to rest?"

Li Bo Luo's face darkened:
"The coach just informed me that I was also suspended for three games..."

Xie A was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help showing a "sympathetic pity" smile:

"So you're not in the mood to rest at home and want to vent?"

Li Bo Luo nodded:
"I'm here to practice with you?"

Xie A hesitated for a moment:
"Can you help me train to save?"

Li Bo Luo does not matter:
"Come on, as long as you don't dislike my shooting skills!"

Thanks ahaha with a smile:
"Come on, brother!"

As a small team, Wimbledon doesn't even have a dedicated goalkeeper coach. Even if he wants to hone his skills every day, he can't find a sparring partner. He can only train basic physical fitness by himself. In terms of it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, where would you dislike it?
Xie A brought a whole basket of footballs from the sidelines, about thirty or forty, all of which were placed at the top of the arc in the penalty area, then took a breath, pointed to the white line and said:
"Brother, just shoot from the outside of the penalty area, no matter where you are."

Li Bo Luo scratched his neck:

"It's that simple?"

Xie A asked rhetorically while wearing gloves:
"As far as your shooting level is concerned, if you can hit the goal range, it will help me. If I ask you to kick a leaf ball or an elevator ball, will you do it?"

Li Bo Luo blushed:
"If you humiliate like this again, I won't accompany you to practice!"
-
Two hours passed quickly, and the two ended their morning training.

In order to express his gratitude, Shea happily took Li Bo Luo to the most prosperous commercial street in Wimbledon to have a feast to further deepen the friendship between teammates.

After all, everyone can see that Li Boluo has become a hot new star in the team. Both coaches are very fond of him. He has also gradually established a main position with many outstanding performances. Fuller was a little apprehensive.

As the main goalkeeper, isn't it normal to have a good relationship with the main defender?
The two chatted while eating:
"James, can you play this weekend?"

Xie A nodded, but was not sure:

"Werner played very stable in these three games, I may not be able to start..."

What he said is also true. The second goalkeeper Werner is not much different from him in terms of age, physical fitness, experience, worth, and salary. If the coaches use "continuation of the state" as the reason, Werner It's entirely possible to continue playing.

The competition between goalkeepers can be more brutal than other positions.

Many people can be the main players for more than ten years as long as they seize an opportunity, such as Buffon and Casillas, but more goalkeepers can only be substitutes for life, such as Buffon's substitutes in the national team... …

Probably speaking of the worries in his heart, Xie A sighed:

"People, you must make the right choice, otherwise it may affect your whole life!"

Li Bo Luo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little inexplicable at his unfinished emotion:

"what?"

Just listen to Xie A say:

"You probably don't know, I came from the Arsenal youth academy. In 2009, when I was just 18, I won the Youth League and the FA Cup for the Gunners. The next year I entered the reserve team and won the The official signing of Arsenal and the big name in the first team, it looks like everything is going well."

Li Bo Luo listened quietly:

"and then?"

Xie A's thoughts seemed to return to his glorious past:

"In August 2010, I was also called up to the England squad. I remember it very clearly at the time. It was a European Cup qualifier against Bulgaria. Although I didn't get a chance to play, 8 I became a member of the national team at the age of three, can you understand how I felt at that time?"

Li Bo Luo nodded:
"I don't have a similar experience, but I can understand."

Although the concept of serving the country with loyalty is not as highly regarded in Europe and the United States as in East Asia, it is definitely a huge honor to become a national player of the Three Lions at the age of 19!

Not to mention in England, even in China, which is being reviled by thousands of people, aren't those players just hollowing out their minds and sharpening their heads, just wanting to become a member of the national team?
That is a recognition of a player's ability and achievements!
"But I still couldn't stay at Arsenal. The Gunners at that time included Szczesny, Fabianski, Almunia, and even hired Lehmann back to fight the fire for a while, but I never waited for Wenger. In the end, I can only leave..."

Xie A's expression finally dimmed:

"Occasionally I think, if I had stayed at Arsenal, would I have a chance now?"

Thinking about Arsenal's lineup, Li Bo Luo did not say a word.

In the 2014-15 season of Arsenal, the main goalkeeper was Ospina, the Colombian goalkeeper who performed bravely in the 14 World Cup. The Polish national goalkeeper Szczesny was sitting on the bench, as well as the team's youth training achievements and Argentina's new star Martinez. (2021 America's Cup Gold Glove winner), how can Shea have a chance to play?
Perhaps feeling Li Boluo's thoughts, Xie A patted him on the shoulder:

"I used to think I should accept my fate, but last year I saw a player's story, and I think people still have to fight."

Li Bo Luo looked up at him:

"Who?"

Xie A grinned:

"Jamie Vardy. Two years ago, he was playing in the fifth tier, a team that wasn't as good as Wimbledon. Now he's playing as a striker in the Premier League at Leicester City."

He added:
"Vardy didn't become a professional player until he was 25 years old. When you think about it, why don't we work hard?"
