The biggest fanatic in football

During the renovation of the villa, Lee Polo also returned to England.

The first is to accompany Lisanna home, and by the way use her girlfriend's money to invest in "a little bit" of the newly popular electronic currency; the second is to deal with some of her personal matters and belongings, such as returning her apartment room in the club, and another , and shipped the second-hand car I just bought two months ago to Spain...

Originally, I wanted to get together with a few teammates with whom I was close to for the last time, but these people were either on vacation or busy with transfers, and it was impossible to get together at the same time, so I had to give up in the end.

In the end, he only found Cox, the assistant coach, and the two of them had a simple meal in the restaurant outside the door as a way of expressing gratitude for the past year.

Cox, who was full of wine and food, burped and said with some emotion:

"Although I have expected it for a long time, I still feel a little reluctant when I think of you really having to leave!"

Li Polo poured him wine with a smile:

"Isn't that what professional football is like? You didn't stay in one club for your whole life when you were playing, right?"

Cox watched the foam in the cup slowly rise:

"The club's financial situation has greatly improved this season. After discussing with the fans association, Powell decided to spend 2 million pounds on signings and improving training facilities to prepare for promotion to the English Championship next season."

Li Polo nodded and did not comment on the club's next goal.

He knew that the Kuang Gang had always relied on the support of community fans and lacked sufficient capital support. If they had not won the FA Cup and League Cup, they would not be able to plan transfers calmly now, but would be anxious to move around. Raise money to pay players!

Last season's great success, especially the FA Cup and League Cup championships, brought Wimbledon a total of more than 8 million pounds in additional revenue. For this small team with an annual budget of only more than 800,000 pounds, To put it bluntly, it's like a long drought and a sweet rain.

——Of course, as they advance to League One, their expenses will naturally increase exponentially, but this income is still a huge amount of money.

Powell, who was carried away, once wanted to expand the stadium, but was blocked by others.

Compared with the ticket income, let’s protect everyone’s wages first!

Li Polo also filled a glass for himself:

"Has anyone decided to leave the team?"

Cox raised his glass and touched it:

"There is no definite news yet, but... Connolly, Frampton, and Boorman have all decided to retire."

Li Polo nodded and took a sip:

"They are all thirty-six or seventy years old, it's time to rest."

Cox put down his cup:

"Dubes chose to return to his home team Bournemouth, Reeves also returned to Swindon, and Suitland and Woerner also returned to their respective homes..."

Three have retired, four have expired on loan, plus Lee Polo. Less than a month before the end of the season, the invincible team in the English League Two has already lost one-third of its players.

This is the norm for professional teams, and even more so for low-level teams.

The two people did not sigh over this issue, but soon started to compliment each other happily while drinking.

"Polo, when you first came to the Kuang Gang, to be honest, I wasn't very optimistic about you. At that time, I thought you would have to sit on the bench for at least a year before you could gradually play in the game. I didn't expect you to start in the first round of the league!"

"Neal, do you think...why Smith was injured at the beginning of the season?"

"Damn it, so that's what it is?!"

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Neil, you are a good person, and I will never forget your care for me."

"Tch, do you still remember that time you asked me to borrow money?"

"That time when you only had 20 yuan in your pocket?"

"Hahaha, when you make a lot of money, just treat me to a big meal every year!"

-

After bidding farewell to the coach of his old club, Lee Polo made a special trip to visit his girlfriend's father, Bruce Taylor.

I said it was a visit, but actually... it was just a way to say thank you when I checked into my accommodation.

Last year he was just an entry-level player with a weekly salary of 300 yuan, but now, he has become a top league player with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands.

Although he is still not as good as Bruce, a banker, he has at least passed the level of well-off and directly stepped into the threshold of the middle class.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Poluo even felt that Bruce and he were very affectionate when they were talking. After the two had a drink, they almost put their arms around each other and started to call each other brothers...

He once again realized a truth:

[If a man wants to stand tall, he still has to rely on his own career!]

-

July 4th.

When Messi was still weeping after losing the Copa America final, Li Polo returned to Valencia.

The renovation of the villa was completed, and the translator arranged for him by the club was also in place. With nothing to do, Li Polo simply went to class.

Originally, he had some unrealistic and beautiful illusions about this translator and private language teacher, but when this fat little man with a sinister face appeared at his door, his illusions were completely shattered.

"Hello, Mr.li. My name is Juan Lopez. You can just call me Juan from now on."

The little fat man completely ignored his disappointment and shook hands with him enthusiastically.

Li Polo quickly cheered up and greeted the other party with the only Spanish word he had learned:

",juan."

The two sat down in the living room. Lopez first took out a book from his backpack and placed it gently on the coffee table:

"This is an introductory Spanish spoken textbook. If you have time outside of our classes, you can read it."

Li Polo glanced at the spine of the book, which was more than three centimeters thick, and nodded with difficulty:

"I'll try my best..."

Seeing his face, Lopez showed a smile of understanding:

"According to the employment contract signed between Valencia Club and me, in the next year, I will serve as your translator and language teacher. First of all, I will accompany you to every training session and convey the coach's message as soon as possible.

Intention, secondly, I will also provide you with language tutoring three to four times a week. I hope you can arrange your time reasonably, master the language as soon as possible, and adapt to life in this city."

Perhaps to reassure his employer, he added two more words of encouragement:

"Spanish is much simpler than English. I believe you can learn it quickly."

Li Polo didn’t believe his lies!

[When Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid in his fifth season, he still did not master the language proficiently, so he could only be interviewed in English!]

[How much smarter can I, Li Poluo... be than the Great Sage? 】

-

Three days passed quickly.

Li Polo, who had been studying Spanish for three days in a row, even felt a little dizzy.

In addition to studying, he also took the time to become familiar with the surrounding environment.

The city has a 30-kilometer-long Tulia River Park landscape, a cathedral built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the landmark Michael Tower, Europe's largest underwater life exhibition hall, the Queen Sofia Art Opera House, and a world cultural heritage.

Silk market, various art galleries, museums, art galleries, zoological and botanical gardens, Spain's second largest port, and hundreds of kilometers of white beaches outside the city.

It is a little different from England. The pace of life here seems to be more relaxed. Both ordinary citizens and various businessmen are accustomed to going to bed late and getting up late, and then take a long lunch break in the middle. For example, their shopping malls and restaurants are open

Very late, for example, they have little interest in serious work, but love entertainment activities very much. Bars and dance halls are often brightly lit all night long...

For example, at Wimbledon, Adre requires everyone to gather before 9:30 a.m., but Valencia’s training time is a full hour later than the Crazy Gang...

However, as a newcomer, Lee Polo did not dare to waste time reporting. Before 10 o'clock, he rushed from the city to the Patna training base in the suburbs, preparing to leave a good impression on the coach and teammates.

But after he rang the horn at the gate for a long time, no staff opened the door for him.

So much so that he had to call Gonzalez:

"Pablo, did you get the reporting time wrong?"

There was a yawn from the other side of the phone:

"God, it's only 9:45, why are you going so early? The club won't prepare breakfast for you!"

After seeing the Spanish people's laziness, Li Polo could only shrug at the translator Lopez, who was napping in the passenger seat:

"Let's go, I'll treat you to breakfast."

Lopez immediately cheered up:

“Keep driving forward, I know a restaurant there that does great tapas!”

Note:

Tapas: Spanish national snack, which is probably a piece of bread on the bottom, grilled sausage, vegetables, fruits on top, and garnished with some cream cheese.
