Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 542 You wait for me!

"Drip, drip, drip!!!"

After 5 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Amsterdam Arena, which had less than 3 seats in the first half, looked even more empty at the moment.

Only some visiting fans in white jerseys were singing to cheer for their team.

"The Dutch team told us with practical actions why they couldn't play in the World Cup this summer, because they have not found their status at all!"

In the live broadcast room in the UK, Lineker shook his head again and again:
"During the 90-minute game, the Dutch team, as the host, had only two shots on target!
In contrast, England shot on target as many as 11 times!If it weren't for Sterling to waste a few opportunities, this data will only be more! "

After all, he is a legendary shooter, and he obviously cares more about the offensive data of both sides.

The commentator Carragher, who was born as a defender, paid more attention to the defensive capabilities of both sides:

"Van Dijk, who rose to prominence last season and became one of the top defenders in Europe, was completely blown away by us in this game.

I don't despise him, but the Dutch team's defensive system is really too chaotic.

Coach Koeman wants to maximize De Ligt's ability to play the ball, but ignores his age and experience, which is not enough for him to compete with superstars like Lee Polo!

Throughout the game, Li Polo didn't even need to expend too much effort to tease De Ligt in the palm of his hand! "

Lee Polo, who has been praised by Carragher, actually has very average statistics in this game.

Although he blasted the young Dericht at the beginning and opened the scoring for the team, in the subsequent game, he encountered Van Dijk's strict defense.

With the key care of this old comrade who knows the basics, even if he is as strong as Li Poluo, he can still play with his hands tied.

Van Dijk, who is not yet 27 years old, has just entered the peak age of a central defender. His physical fitness and awareness have reached the top level of the entire football world, and there are almost no obvious signs of injury in him. Weaknesses: Speed, height, jumping, reaction, position selection, and even psychological quality are all top-notch!

Under Van Dijk's full defense, Li Polo had to rely on [Hawkeye] to get the ball for a long time, but he often lost the ball in the next second, which made him a little angry.

But... After all, Van Dyke just invited him to have a drink yesterday, so he couldn't just turn his back on him and kick his old friend's legs off, right?
Van Dijk's efforts were indeed not in vain. For a long time after scoring the first goal, Lee Polo's effective ball possession times were pitifully small. It was not until Van Dijk's physical fitness declined in the second half that he relied on one time. With a header opportunity, he scored his second goal.

In addition, he also "passively assisted" Lingard, allowing the British star to kick the world wave at the top of the arc in the penalty area!

In addition, Maguire also scored a header in the 83rd minute, England finally won the opponent 4:0!

Lee Polo, who played for 90 minutes, looked at his stats of two shots and one pass, and shook his head in disappointment.

Looking at Van Dijk, who was covered in grass clippings, and his knees were even bleeding, he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself:
"Aren't the defenders in the Premier League too good?"

"I feel like I haven't made any progress recently!"

"Otherwise, how could I be restricted by you?"

Van Dyke grinned while spraying hemostatic medicine on his knees:
"You are so yin and yang over there! You this"

"A year ago, how could you grab so many corner kicks in front of me?"

Li Poluo showed an expression of disbelief:

"Are you so bloated now?"

"Even if you are the luckiest, you can only fight me [-]-[-] for the header, right?"
-
England's 4-0 victory over the Netherlands in the away game did not cause too many waves in public opinion.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that now that the golden generation headed by the Three Stickers has retired collectively, the uncrowned king who once rivaled the peak Spain and unfortunately missed the World Cup championship is now at the lowest point.

And the talented Three Lions defeated the weak Tulip, which is not worth boasting about.

On the contrary, Van Dijk, who defended against Lee Polo and only scored two goals, one of which he had no responsibility for, was praised by the media as the cornerstone of the Dutch football revival.

After all, Van Dijk has done his best in the situation where the strength of his teammates is very different. Without him, Lee Polo can complete a hat-trick with just a header!
A 4:0 game made Lee Polo's average scoring efficiency in the national team drop significantly, but it made Van Dijk's reputation in Dutch football and even European football even higher!

The more Lee Polo thought about it, the worse he was, and he couldn't help but send a text message to Van Dyke:

"You wait for me!"

"See you in the Champions League!"

Although Van Dyke quickly replied "Hahaha, who is afraid of whom", but at the same time sent 33 negative emotions...

Even his closest teammates were a little afraid of Li Boluo who launched a ruthless fight! -
Li Polo originally wanted to stay in the Netherlands and beat Van Dijk hard, but Southgate asked everyone to take a chartered flight back to London after the game. Give players the opportunity to visit the great beauty of Amsterdam.

This is also the traditional experience of the FA.

The management of football players has always been a big problem.If you stay for another night, who knows how many traces of struggle these multi-millionaires from the Premier League will leave behind in this world-famous No. [-] sex capital in the world...

When the time comes to make the paparazzi public, who knows how much pressure and negative impact it will bring to England's World Cup! -
After returning to London, the England team prepared for the game with a combination of work and rest for 3 days. On March 3, they ushered in their second warm-up match opponent-Italy.

Compared with the weak Netherlands, Italy's lineup is obviously much better.

In the big list, there are not only veterans of the three dynasties such as Buffon and Chiellini, but also Bonucci, Jorginho, Candreva, Immobile, Insigne, Florenci, Sapa Costa, De Sciglio and a large number of backbones who are in their prime, as well as Donnarumma, Rugani, Berardi, Bernardeschi, Chiesa Jr., Lorenzo A rising star like Pellegrini.

From the perspective of personnel structure, strength, and popularity, Italy's lineup is at least three levels stronger than that of the Netherlands!

But... what's the use?
Italy, like the Netherlands, missed this summer's World Cup.

But the only thing that is better than the Netherlands is that Italy has at least made it to the final play-offs, but was unfortunately defeated by Sweden with a single goal, while the Netherlands did not even qualify for the play-offs...

It is worth mentioning that the Netherlands is the third place in their group, and the No.2 is Sweden.

After Ibrahimovic, the only superstar in Sweden, thought that the team was too weak to lead, so he voluntarily withdrew from the national team. Instead, the Swedish team's morale was high and they played more like a whole. They eliminated the Netherlands and Italy in succession. Entering the World Cup with his head held high as a dark horse, "Da Fengxian" couldn't help but blushed and felt embarrassed about being slapped in the face.

In order to hone the lineup, Southgate made a big rotation in this game.

The goalkeeper was replaced by Butland, Ashley Young, Tarkowski, Cahill, Maguire, Dyer, Vardy, Rashford and other players got the chance to start, Henderson, Pickford Germany, Chamberlain, Danny Rose and others entered the bench to rest. Lingard, who scored the first goal for the national team in the last game, continued to play with Li Polo.

Compared with Rashford, who doesn't like to pass the ball, his club teammate Lin Huangjiad is obviously more organized. As soon as he sees Li Polo and Vardy running out of space, he will send the pass as soon as possible.

However, Chiellini and Bonucci on the Italian defense line were obviously far inferior to the two cheetahs on the England front line in terms of explosive power, and soon fell into a passive state.

Although Italy has strengthened its defense, it still has not restrained Lingard, who has been in a hot state recently.

Lin Huang sent out a precise through ball in the first and second half respectively, allowing Li Polo and Vardy to eat the pie he baked respectively!

In addition to the anti-offside goal, Li Polo also grabbed the football saved by Donnarumma in stoppage time in the first half-a long shot from Rashford.

He lightly pulled horizontally in the small penalty area, shook away "Qian Duoduo" who was struggling in vain, and sent a push into the empty goal!

In the second half, Li Polo received a free kick from Walker on the right. With his strong physical fitness, he overwhelmed the 34-year-old Chiellini and sent the ball in for the third time with a powerful rocket header. Net nest!

Donnarumma, who is ambitious and wants to succeed Buffon in an all-round way, lies on the goal line and doesn't want to get up!
4: 0!

England defeated Italy by the same score and ended the only national team competition week before May 2018 with a two-game winning streak!
When the Three Lions gather next time, it will be three months later!
Their next opponent is the East Asian powerhouse known as "England of Asia", the Chinese team!
