Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 84

Saturday, October 1.

Today is the match day of the 26th round of the league, but the king's turf stadium in the afternoon is particularly deserted.

As he will go to London to challenge Tottenham in four days, Adre has adopted a large rotation strategy in this league with clear strengths and weaknesses. Fuller, Smith, Akinfenwa, Dubis, Boorman, Phillips, etc. The veterans all got a chance to rest.

Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, their opponent in this round is Carlisle United, the third-lowest relegation team in the standings.

This team only scored 25 points in the first 24 rounds of the league, scored 29 goals in the front, but conceded 46 goals in the back. It is undoubtedly the favorite experience package for substitute players.

Two veteran forwards, Connolly and Frampton, together with the post-85 backbone such as Rigg and Porter, lead Li Polo, Aziz, Reeves, Sutherland, Osraja, Kennedy , Sweeney and a group of post-90s were excitedly preparing to kill the relegation fish belly, but they didn't expect to hit the steel plate!
Frampton took advantage of the instability of the home team's defense to score blood in the 17th second. Everyone thought this would be the prelude to a massacre.

However, the iron bucket formation that Carlisle United put up afterwards made it clear that they did not want to be the target of the tragedy!

Instead, their attitude aroused the bloodiness of the crazy gang soldiers.

From a certain point of view, a football game is like a rape. The more the little girl lying underneath resists and struggles, the more interest and motivation the perpetrator is aroused!
Almost all of Wimbledon's staff pressed forward and launched an indiscriminate bombardment towards the home team!
Lee Polo is even more logical, frequently stepping in from the back row to participate in the offense. When the offense fell into a stalemate, he even became the team's No.3 center forward, and he didn't leave the penalty area for half a day!

Is there anything wrong with this?

The first half was almost over, and Kalisle didn't even have a decent attack, and the number of shots was pitifully 0!

Adre even felt that his defense was completely useless, and even the goalkeeper was redundant!
Speaking of the goalkeeper, in order to prevent missing the main event of the Liverpool game due to a cold last time, Shea added a lot of activities to himself, not only doing a few sets of standing leg raises and leapfrogs from time to time, but also performing short-distance return runs in the penalty area , and even "took time out of his busy schedule" to interact with the home team fans in the stands.

"James, are we confident in playing Tottenham?"

"I don't like to hear your words. No matter how strong Tottenham are, can they beat Liverpool?"

"Well, Liverpool is now ranked ninth, and Tottenham is fifth!"

"...If you don't know how to chat, don't talk!"

But even with such an overwhelming offensive, it still failed to destroy the home team's defense.

Lee Polo was even more helpless. In order to restrain his ability to head the ball, Carlisle United directly dispatched "two major protectors" to completely surround him!

Don't you like to run unexpectedly?
Now that you have two strong men on your body, where else can you go?

These two defensive players, whose height and weight are not under him, not only stared at his every move, but also almost stretched out two pairs of arms, directly locking him in the encirclement!

When the first half was about to enter the stoppage time period, Carlisle United suddenly played a counterattack opportunity, which was their first official attack in the game, directly piercing through Wimbledon's emptiness for 45 minutes. city!
Although Xie A has been warming up, his fists are no match for four hands. Facing the attack of the home team's double ghosts, he can only raise the flag and surrender!

1: 1!

When it comes to relegation in the league, every point is extremely precious, especially when facing the biggest favorite in the championship!
The demoralized Carlisle United did not relax at all in the second half. Instead, taking advantage of Wimbledon's opportunity to regain the lead, they counterattacked consecutively and broke the goal of the visiting team in the 68th and 81st minutes respectively, extending the score to 3: 1!

Their tactics are not uncomplicated, and their defense is not unruly. The data of 21 fouls and 6 players dyed yellow all speak for themselves, but they had the last laugh!
Wimbledon got as high as 71% possession of the ball in the away game, forming a total of 18 shots, 12 corner kicks, and 8 frontcourt free kicks, but these data are useless in the face of a defeat!

Because the result of the game has been determined, the score of 1:3 is more important than all tactics and superficial strength!
After this defeat, they had to accept this result:
Since entering 2015, they have only scored 1 draw and 2 losses in the three League Two games, and they have not won any wins!
Could it be... this is the price of beating Liverpool?
-
"Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy, one loss, no big deal."

In the locker room after the game, assistant coach Cox was still comforting the players:

"In this round of the league, the second and third ranked Wycombe Wanderers and Burton were tied by their respective opponents. Our lead is still 11 points, and the initiative to advance to the league is still firmly in our hands. , so don’t be too nervous.”

The players who heard the consolation cheered up a little.

However... at the end of the halfway match, Wimbledon's lead in the standings reached up to 17 points, claiming to have "locked the league championship", and now it has suddenly been reduced to 11 points, which still makes people feel a little uneasy.

The head coach Adele even started to criticize himself:

"Sorry, lads. As a manager, I must admit that I have made the mistake of underestimating the enemy in these few league games.

Leading the league standings for a long time, coupled with defeating top league teams such as Manchester United, Southampton, and Liverpool, made me lose myself a bit. After seeing the ranking of Carlisle United, I really had a feeling of' I had the illusion that I could win even with the youth team, but the cruel reality made me sober. "

He took a breath, and looked at all the players with a sincere and serious face:
"I hope everyone will remember that for Wimbledon, securing league advancement has always been the most important objective of the season and that in the remaining 12 rounds, we will definitely encounter more difficult obstacles than today. , but we can never repeat the same mistakes!"

"Yes, boss!"

He saw the determination on the faces of all the players and the response was enthusiastic.

Li Poluo also clenched his fists and nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, some time ago, the team played too smoothly.

A wave of [-] consecutive victories and triumphant songs in all competitions, it is almost a bit like "gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas". This kind of sentiment became even higher after the high-profile elimination of Liverpool. The fans all had the illusion that "we can play in the Premier League next season".

[Should calm down! 】

[Still keep your feet on the ground, step by step! 】

Then he saw the head coach also showing a relieved smile.

Adrey nodded:
"Tomorrow morning, let's study again, how can we win Tottenham!"

The players who were determined and ready to attack the league with all their strength just now collapsed!
【Okay, calm down and face the reality? 】

[Why are you still thinking about winning Tottenham? 】
