Football's Number One Madman

"Hey!"

With a confident laugh, the football flew up from behind Li Polo, then successfully passed Maguire, who was in charge of marking, and landed precisely in front of Pickford.

As soon as Pickford took a step, he saw a whirlwind passing by and grabbed the ball into the goal before he could attack!

Seeing the look of his own goalkeeper at a loss, Li Poluo raised his hands contentedly:

"Is there any of you who can do better than me?"

[Negative sentiment from Harry Maguire, +48! 】

Lingard glanced down at his feet and took two steps forward, ready to show this ignorant teammate what real skills are.

But as soon as he took a step, Captain Henderson grabbed his arm.

The two people looked at each other, and countless messages were exchanged at this moment.

Lin Huang finally stopped and sighed slightly:
[Forget it, fame and benefits are like floating clouds, so let me give you this false name! 】

Henderson squeezed a cold sweat:
[For the unity of the team, I, the captain, have paid too much! 】

But he suddenly thought:

[How could I have won the captain's armband without Lee Polo's strong support? 】

There was a sudden trance in his heart:
【Could it be... Lee Polo has seen through everything long ago, and will support me as the captain? 】

【His layout is still far above Emperor Lin! 】

After the daily training, Southgate and his assistants held a discussion and analysis meeting in the tactical room, which is also the daily work of the coaching team.

With a "squeak", the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and in came the captain Henderson, the vice-captain Cahill, and the ordinary player Li Poluo.

South Gate raised his chin, motioning for them to sit down casually:
"Tomorrow is the game. I want to hear your opinions on the starting lineup and basic tactics, so as to make final improvements and adjustments."

As a head coach, Southgate can theoretically make a decision with one word, but after all, this is the first time England has entered the semi-finals in recent decades. He has to be cautious to avoid being dazzled by consecutive victories.

I heard that Prince William has set off on a special plane and is about to fly to St. Petersburg to supervise the semi-finals on the spot. Nandamen is even more energetic and wants to be fully prepared.

In case of losing to France at that time, he can also tell the media:

"I have fully listened to the opinions of the team representatives, so I will never take the blame!"

Henderson glanced politely at Li Polo, who was sitting between himself and Cahill, before speaking:
"Their midfield is very strong, especially the configuration of Kanter and Pogba, which can be called top-level offense and defense. Our midfield is bound to be under great pressure."

Southgate nodded slightly:

"Delph and Dyer, who do you prefer to partner with?"

Henderson thought for a few seconds:
"Delph, he has a good left foot, he runs more flexibly and is more suitable for left midfielders."

Dyer is 188cm tall. Although he has a tough style of play, he lacks a little flexibility. It may be difficult to gain the upper hand in the contest with Pogba and Kanter.

As for Delph's height of only 174cm, which is not conducive to competing for high-altitude balls, Southgate is not worried at all.

In the top 32 of the World Cup, in terms of high-altitude balls, no one can be stronger than England!
Cahill, Stones, Maguire, Jones... His central defenders are all header masters!
Southgate adopted his opinion and looked at Cahill again:

"Stones and Maguire?"

His question was simple, and Cahill's answer was crisp:

"Maguire, his confrontation is stronger, and his ability to play the ball is also very good, but the speed of turning around and chasing..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.

Southgate nodded:

"Then Walker must be used as the right center back."

His meaning is also very clear. Among the three defenders, Cahill and Maguire are both strong types of frontal defense. Griezmann hit a colander...

Lee Polo, the only one who didn't speak, denied their opinions:
"To deal with France, we don't need two tough and tall defenders. Using Stones is more in line with the characteristics of dealing with it."

Although Maguire is tall and powerful, his flexibility really makes Li Polo uneasy. Against Stones, who is slightly less capable, he has an obvious advantage in interception and recovery.

Anyway, the frontcourt of the French team is not too strong. Whether it is Giroud, Griezmann or Mbappe, they are not top-notch in hand-to-hand combat. Stones should barely handle it, but if Marquis is replaced If you go into battle, he can only contribute world famous paintings:
Carrier U-turn!

As for counting on Walker to wipe his ass?
There is no need to think about it, Kyle Walker is the engine of the wing attack, and his position may even be higher than Lee Polo when the offense and defense switch!
As soon as Lee Polo spoke, Cahill immediately closed his mouth.

The opinion of the boss is very clear, if you must go to Maguire, you Cahill has to give way!
If you, Cahill, can continue to start the game, you have already embraced the big brother's thigh, so don't point fingers now!

Southgate tapped the table lightly:
"Then do it."

Seeing the head coach's lack of opinion, Cahill secretly made up his mind:

[From now on, there will be only one sentence in my speech:
Polo is right! 】
-
[Negative emotions from Maguire, +86! 】

I don’t know who leaked the news. On July 7, when the England team got off the bus and stepped into the stadium in St. Petersburg, Li Polo received dissatisfaction from his teammates...

He glanced sideways at his teammate, and Ma Datou immediately avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience...

With the last rays of the setting sun shining on the green field, Li Polo stretched his waist and started the final warm-up.

Half an hour later, the England team was in the locker room for the final mobilization.

Southgate did not play, standing in the middle of the locker room was Captain Henderson:
"We are only one step away from the final, and no one can stop us!"

"Get rid of France!"
-
At 9 o'clock in the evening, when the St. Petersburg Arena was completely shrouded in night, the world-renowned semi-final finally officially began.

England and France, two veteran teams who have only won the Hercules Cup once, are going to confront each other for a goal.

The French captain and goalkeeper Lloris is standing side by side with Henderson at the front of the channel, with Varane, Umtiti, Hernandez behind him...

In the position of left midfielder, or left midfielder, Deschamps finally chose Matuidi, who can attack and defend well.

According to preliminary judgments, the French team put on a double midfielder and 4231 formation of Kanter + Pogba.

Lee Polo and his club teammate Kanter warmly embraced:
"N'Golo, you don't blame me, do you?"

Kanter smiled honestly, showing his big white teeth:

"Let's all do our best, Polo."

Li Polo also smiled, and turned to the young Mbappe:
"Can you beat me, little one?"

Mbappe's eyes lowered slightly, but his voice was full of confidence:

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Li Polo looked at this striker who was 4 years and 4 months younger than himself, and made a "cracking" sound with his fists.

Destroying these potential seedlings is really exciting!

At the end of the French team, Giroud stretched his neck and waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for the greeting from Li Polo, so he couldn't help but secretly get angry!
[Did you forget something? 】

[I have been your substitute for half a year! 】

[Negative sentiment from Oliver Giroud, +48! 】
