football's number one madman

Chapter 214 Lee Polo, You Shameless!
In the afternoon of the next day, Li Poluo saw the members of the national youth team who came to report one after another.

Not to mention, after the so-called "golden age" of Beckham, Scholes, Neville, Lampard, Gerrard, Ferdinand, Terry, Rooney, England only experienced a short period of pain , ushered in an era of talent blowout.

In this U21 team, there are young talents from England between 1994 and 1997, and there are many familiar names among them.

For example, Rashford, the prince of Manchester United, Chelsea's luxury youth academy - Abraham, Zeke, Chalobah, Solanke, Swift, etc., Arsenal's Chambers, Niles, Akpon, Tottenham Winks, Onoma, Southampton's Ward-Prowse, Leicester's Chilwell, Everton's Holgate, Sunderland's Pickford, Bolton's holding.

And... the talented midfielder who joined Tottenham from Milton Keynes last year, Dele Alli.

As soon as the two met, Ali gave Lee Polo a gift:

[Negative emotions from Dele Ali, +50! 】

Regarding his small belly, Li Boluo curled his lips in disdain, and greeted him generously:
"Hello?"

Ali's eyes were even more unfriendly, not only did not respond, but turned around and left!
——In the first confrontation between Wimbledon and Milton Keynes, Lee Polo tackled Ali's leg and made the rising star lie in the hospital for half a season!

So much so that when Tottenham made an offer, it dropped directly from the original £500 million to 350 million!
How could Ali become good friends with a murderer like him?
-
Since the other party is unwilling to resolve the grievances, Li Polo can only treat him as air.

After living two lifetimes, Li Poluo has long seen through that no matter how good he is, he cannot be friends with everyone.

On the contrary, the youth players of Chelsea and Arsenal are particularly friendly to him. I wonder if it is because of his outstanding performance in the FA Cup and League Cup that he conquered them?
Or is it because I let the main players of the two teams rest due to injuries, so that they get more opportunities to play?

There is also the prince of Manchester United, Rashford, who pulled heads among his teammates for charity at a young age:

"While we are eating Australian lobster here, in London, in Manchester, in Liverpool, in Birmingham, tens of thousands of poor people are still starving, don't you feel sad?"

Seeing his concern for the country and the people on his face, Li Poluo thought for a while, and finally restrained his urge to pay for sponsorship:
"The British Empire has its own complete social relief system! You'd better play football!"

Rashford blushed:
"Why are you so heartless!"

[Negative emotions from Rashford, +20! 】
-
After getting to know his teammates, Lee Polo started the first intensive training for the U21 national team.

The training of the national team basically does not involve basic skills. After all, the national team is different from the club. The coaches do not have time to instruct the players how to pass the ball, how to mark people, and how to shoot. The pieced together team kneaded into a whole and played the tactics they wanted.

Everyone knows England's traditional tactics, that is, 442 and long pass.

Although Southgate is only 46 years old and has just started as a head coach, his tactical concepts are not advanced at all. Instead, he respects conservative traditions and insists on flying with both wings, breaking through the side, and passing 45 degrees. The old tactics in...

Although it is also a defensive counterattack, compared with Valencia's "full court oppression, combination of side and center", his set of concepts can definitely be called simple and rude!
But this is also good. Li Polo, who has played in low-level leagues for 4 years, has almost no time to adapt, and he has integrated into this tactical play.

But... what's the use?
On the day of the competition, Lee Polo was shocked to find out:
"I'm not in the starting lineup?"

The central defender combination sent by Southgate is Chambers and Holding!
In Lee Polo's mind, Chambers' most frequent position at Arsenal...is full-back!

What central defender can he play?
-
On the afternoon of March 3, the fourth round of Group I of the European Youth Championship qualifiers started as scheduled.

Lee Polo sat on the bench and enjoyed the performances of Rashford and others.

Despite the reputation of England's future stars, many of whom have won a place in the Premier League's first team, when they played the first half, the score was still 0-0.

Southgate lashed out at halftime, and after only 2 minutes of play in the second half, he saw an immediate effect. Alli passed through the middle and sent through balls, and Akpon easily formed a one-handed push and scored 1:0.

With one goal in hand, England did not play more and more smoothly, let alone take advantage of the situation to expand their lead. Instead, they were forced to be a little embarrassed by Switzerland, who was playing at home. The ball possession ratio of the two sides was almost [-]-[-].

The stalemate lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and Southgate finally couldn't sit still. He first replaced Chalobah with Zeke, and then replaced Rashford with Abraham. He didn't know what he wanted to strengthen. Offensive, or stable defense.

It wasn't until the 74th minute that he realized that there seemed to be another substitution that was useless, so he glanced at the bench and landed on Li Poluo.

Seconds later, assistant coach Steve Holland was in front of Lee Polo:

"Hey lad, go warm up, it's your turn to perform!"

But he found that the young man whose name was called had no intention of getting up at all.

Holland frowned:
"Do you need me to say it a second time?"

Lee Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"I don't feel like I should be playing at this kind of garbage time."

Rashford, who had just been replaced, looked at the two of them in surprise, and Holland's face was suddenly cast a shadow.

[Holland's negative emotions, +10! 】

He glared hard:
"Young man, don't be too conceited! I have seen many players who are more talented than you..."

Before he finished speaking, the situation on the field changed suddenly!
The Swiss team's 1.9-meter tall center Florian Cambery overwhelmed the 182cm Chambers and scored with a header!
1: 1!

"F**K!"

Seeing the score change, Holland couldn't help but swear.

Before he could turn around, he saw Li Poluo unzipping his jacket, rushing to the sidelines and jumping up and down...

"Are you riding a horse to tease me?"

Holland looked confused, but somewhat annoyed.

I saw Li Poluo stretching the muscles of his legs, while impatiently taking off the substitute yellow vest:
"Why are you standing still! Let me play quickly!"

Holland glanced at Southgate, who was frowning tightly, and didn't care about other things. He opened the tactical board in his hand immediately, and was going to explain the tactical points to him:
"You replace Chambers, first stabilize the defense..."

He had just started when he was interrupted by Li Poluo:
"OK, I see."

[Holland, +20! 】

The blue veins on the assistant's forehead were exposed, and he wanted to tell the fourth official immediately:
"We won't change people anymore!"

But he still didn't dare to make news at this time, so he could only swallow his breath and watched Li Polo appear on stage...

This is the 77th minute of the game.
-
It's only been two days of training, and Li Poluo still has a half-knowledge of the characteristics of most of his teammates.

But he is 100% sure that Chambers is playing central defender. Does he have the strength?

He can't kick it!
He doesn't have that ability, you know?

After losing to Switzerland, Iceland, and North Macedonia, no one will lose next!
-
Cambery, who equalized the score, was full of enthusiasm. He glanced at the new opponent who had just appeared on the opposite side and was much shorter than himself. There was no disturbance in his heart, but he wanted to laugh.

[Chambers who is 1.8 meters 1.8 can't guard me, but this unknown guy who is [-] meters [-] can guard me? 】

No wonder he is ignorant, he has only played in the Swiss league since he was a child, and he has no idea that there is such a number one figure as Li Polo in this world!
Even if Li Polo succeeds in defeating Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and other giants, his reputation has not yet reached the Grasshopper team in Zurich...

Just 3 minutes later, Campbell came to the door.Switzerland sent a cross from the left, and Campbell stayed on the spot like a heavy bomber!
But as soon as he left the ground, he felt the tremendous pressure from behind!
His bomber only vacated 20 centimeters before being crushed by another rocket!
Li Poluo easily completed his first header clearance from the top of his head in the National Youth Team!
[Campbell's negative emotions, +6! 】
-
Campbell, who failed in the fight, spat and raised his hands to his teammates for the ball with a determined face.

[Just now I jumped from the same spot, I didn't use my strength, I will definitely be able to do it next time! 】

The Swiss players also had great hopes for him, and within a few minutes of playing, they sent another cross.

This time they passed a little technical content, giving a forward lead, which is most suitable for a header after a few steps of approach.

Campbell made a prediction in his mind, and then began to accelerate.

But before his right foot stepped into the big penalty area, he saw that figure appearing in front of him a second earlier, and then with a more relaxed and freehand posture, he pushed the cross ball out!
The light in Li Poluo's eyes flickered, he glanced at the frustrated Campbell, and showed a friendly smile:

"You're too slow, brother. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up, so I'll grab it for you first!"

Campbell gritted his teeth!
[Campbell, +10! 】
-
The main striker's header was completely sealed, and the Swiss team's offensive was greatly curbed, but England took the opportunity to kill a bloody road.

In the 87th minute, Abraham got a single-handed chance to reverse offside, but lacked a little detail in the handling of the goal. He was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper and won a corner kick for England.

Lee Polo smiled.

He looked at Campbell and tilted his head toward the home team's goal:

"Come on, grab another header with me?"

Campbell's eyes were broken, but there was nothing he could do!
[Campbell, +20! 】

In the previous two fights, he was 100% convinced that he was not that man's opponent at all in the field of fighting for the header!
But he couldn't admit it, because the two central defenders in Switzerland didn't have their own height and physique.

The important task of defending Lee Polo can only be entrusted to yourself!
So... After Dele Alli took a corner kick, Campbell was crushed by Li Poro for the third time!

Li Polo shook his head slightly during the flight, and the ball, like a missile equipped with a tracker, jumped into the Swiss team's goal accurately!

2: 1!

When the game was about to enter the stoppage time period, England completed the lore!

"Pfft~"

Li Polo returned to the ground, he patted Campbell's thick shoulder, and sent encouragement from the top superstar:

"Young man, when choosing an opponent in the future, you still have to keep your eyes open!"

"C Ronaldo didn't dare to fight for the header in front of me, what kind of onion are you!"

Campbell shuddered all over:
"Do you want to be shameless when you ride a horse?"

"You can beat Ronaldo on the head and kick Messi, how can you still have the face to bully the children in the youth team!"

[Negative emotions from Campbell, +55! 】
