Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 582 Battle! 2018 World Cup!
After finishing the night shift at 9 o'clock, it was 4 o'clock when I woke up, and the day passed like this...
-
When the Three Lions took a special plane to leave mysterious Asia and return to London thousands of miles away, it was already the evening of June 6.

After two warm-up matches with little reference significance, Southgate and his team finally finalized their main lineup.

Because Kane was kicked by the South Korean team and injured his heel, he needs to rest for at least two weeks, so he can only watch from the sidelines in the group stage...

South Gate also let go of the biggest worries in their hearts, and can concentrate on building their own offensive system around Lee Polo. Sterling and Rashford, two fast horses from Manchester, will become Lee Polo's strongest wingmen.

The expedition to Asia was too much tossing. After returning to China, Nandamen did not lead the team to continue training immediately, but gave everyone a two-day holiday to let the players and their families get together for a short time until June 6. It was only at the Cobham Training Base that we were called together temporarily.

The reason why it is in Cobham on the outskirts of London, rather than the George Park training base dedicated to the England national team, is because the main task this time is not the training itself, but a special trip to accept the reception and condolences of Prince William.

As the grandson of Queen Elizabeth and the second in line heir to the British Empire (the first is his father Charles), Prince William himself is also the honorary chairman of the FA. It is also his job to cheer for the national team.

"I watched the live broadcast of these two warm-up matches, it was really exciting!"

After shaking hands with Li Polo, the prince deliberately said a few more words:
"But that's just a warm-up match. I look forward to seeing you perform equally well in Russia!"

Li Poluo shook his head with a smile:

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Your Highness."

William froze for a moment, and the FA Chairman Greg Clarke, head coach Southgate and others who were with him suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"During the main match of the World Cup, it is very difficult for me to achieve 10 or 11 goals in a single game!"

Only then did William laugh out loud, patted him on the back, turned slightly sideways, and left a photo for the camera team that was enough to be the cover.

"Prince William talked cordially with the leading players of the Three Lions, and the atmosphere was friendly and warm!"

That's not all, Prince William also pointed to the air:
"I brought you a small gift, I wish you all the best!"

There was only a roar, and 11 white air waves appeared in the blue sky.

11 fighter planes of the British Royal Air Force began to perform stunts over the training base!

All of a sudden, the residents of Surrey watched from their homes, and the surroundings of the training base were full of screams and exclamations.

In the magnificent backdrop, Prince William took a family portrait with the entire England team, and then he said to Greg and Southgate with great anticipation:

"Hopefully we can meet again in Moscow."

——As the honorary chairman of the FA, he will only go to the front line if the team enters the semi-finals! -
Under the escort of the Royal Air Force, the Three Lions finally boarded a special plane to Moscow.

Before boarding the plane, Lee Polo received a message from Cesc Fabregas:
"Man, I'm married! After the World Cup, I'll hold a make-up wedding. You must come!"

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Lao Fa, this guy, has always been living with his current wife!
It wasn't until the end of the season that they had already given birth to three children and finally received their certificates...

Li Poluo couldn't help but shook his head.

This old method is also a strange thing. When he was 24 years old, he just broke up, and quickly fell in love with a Lebanese beauty who was 12 years older than him, and then resolutely walked together regardless of the opposition of the outside world, but until now, 7 years later, The two talents officially entered the palace of marriage...
-
There are only a few days before the opening of the World Cup, and the world's major gambling organizations have already opened up a variety of markets to attract huge funds of hundreds of billions of euros from around the world.

In terms of winning the championship, there has been a three-legged situation. The previous champion Germany, the five-star Brazil, and the Three Lions England have odds of winning the championship between 1:4 and 1:5.

紧随其后的是西班牙1:7、法国1：7.5，再之后才是阿根廷1:10、比利时1:13，葡萄牙更是直接到了1:28……

For the "three-legged confrontation" situation, Li Poluo somewhat does not understand.

The German team is the defending champion anyway, and the lower limit has always been high, which is very normal as the favorite to win the championship.

But apart from Neymar, there are no phenomenal superstars emerging in Brazil today. Why can they enter the first group?

So Lee Polo publicly published his prediction results on his social media:

"Brazil has a solid background, and there are famous Chelsea players like Willian and Luiz. They can definitely reach the quarter-finals or even the semi-finals."

"Germany alternates between the old and the new, and the young and old are not picking up. They should go home in the group stage."

As soon as this news was published, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction in German public opinion!
[Even if our German chariot has undergone a blood change and reconstruction, how could the tenacious Germans be eliminated in the group stage? 】

[This kind of thing, even in the lowest period of history, has never happened! 】

[Brits are indeed wolfish ambitions, there is no good thing! 】

As a member of the German team, Rudiger sent a private message to express his protest:
"They are also teammates, why are you so biased towards William and Louis?"

"Aren't I your good comrade in arms?"

Lee Polo silenced him with just one sentence:
"Can you get a starting spot in the German team...?"

[Negative emotions from Rudiger, +55! 】

Rudiger, who was drifting away, gradually became the backbone of Chelsea's defense in the second half of the season, but he did not conquer the German coach Loew at all!

The two main central defenders of the German team - Boateng and Hummels are almost unshakable main players!

Which one can he replace? -
In addition to winning the championship, of course there are also various odds such as the Golden Boot, assists, and event MVP.

In terms of the most watched Golden Boot Awards, of course Lee Polo ranks first with 1:3.5.

Since England's opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, most people are optimistic that he can lock the Golden Boot after three rounds of the group stage...

Tied for second place are Argentina's Messi and Brazil's Neymar, but their odds have reached 1:10, which is not at the same level as Li Polo.

After that, Griezmann of the French team, 1:13; Werner of the German team, 1:14...

As for the Portuguese king Ronaldo and England's No. 10 striker Kane, they were all excluded from the top [-] due to injuries.
-
In order to lower England's chances of winning the championship, many media are frantically looking for reasons for them. The biggest problem is...

This Three Lions is too young!
Since Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Joe Hart and other famous veterans have all withdrawn from the national team, and Wilshere, Smalling, Luke Shaw have not been recruited due to injuries or decline in form, today's team England is full of fresh faces.

The average age is less than 26 years old. Only five players, Henderson, Cahill, Welbeck, Jones, and Sterling, participated in the 2014 World Cup, and that World Cup was the darkest moment in the history of the Three Lions.

Under the three sides of Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica, they had a poor record of 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at the bottom of the group, and they were eliminated in the group stage!

In addition to lack of experience in major competitions, the England team also has an embarrassing record:

Although the Three Lions have been advertised as "the strongest England in history" in every major competition in the past, since Lineker scored 1990 goals in a single World Cup in 4, in the 28 years since then, None of them scored more than 2 goals in a single World Cup...

Whether it is Shearer, Sheringham, Fowler, Owen, Rooney, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard... none of them broke this embarrassing record!
Without Li Polo, this England team with Harry Kane as the captain and the core of the offense would have been called "the Three Lions with the bleakest stars in history". Even the most optimistic supporters would only dare to say "" To be in the quarter-finals is great."

However, with Lee Polo's Three Lions, as early as a year ago, the lowest goal of this World Cup was set at the top four!
And now, after a year has passed, Lee Polo, who has reached a new peak in fame, can already declare unabashedly:
"If I can't win this World Cup, I'll retire on the spot!"

All of a sudden, the Three Lions became the target of public criticism!
[Negative sentiment from 31 teams and their supporters, +310! 】
