The biggest fanatic in football

"I am extremely proud of my players. But I feel very sorry for the professional level of the referees in this game."

At the post-match press conference, Nuno Santo was not silent:

"We got 6 yellow cards, but Bilbao was as clean as a blank sheet of paper. I don't know what happened."

But he did not continue to torture the referee team because his current situation did not allow him to act recklessly.

His mind has calmed down a long time ago. If he is suspended for another three to five games for making rude remarks, then he can consider dismissal directly!

Anyway...I have already won three precious points in this game.

If he had lost to his opponent in this game, such remarks would only make him a "loser who cannot afford to lose." But now that he has won the final victory, a few words of criticism seem logical.

Then he turned the topic back to the game itself:

"Bilbao has never been an easy opponent, especially at their home court. I must admit that this victory was very difficult and the scene was very intense. Although we scored first, we were still in the game for most of the following period.

, but were always passive and lagging behind. But the players never gave up, and instead played more tenaciously, so we deserve this victory."

Then he began to comment on the players:

"Parejo is an excellent captain. He not only scored a direct free kick, but also encouraged his teammates during the halftime break and led this wonderful comeback.

Feguli, he is still the sharpest scissor on the front line, and the right wing is also the area I feel most at ease with.

Fuego, his defense in the middle was very solid, but in the second half as his physical fitness declined, the coverage area was reduced.

Paco, Rodrigo, and De Paul came off the bench and showed their value. Their physical fitness and speed provided guarantee for the final counterattack.

Zakaria, his shot was a pity. If he could have scored at that time, maybe the situation would be completely different. He should strengthen his shooting training next."

Nuno rarely told half a joke:

"Lee Polo...his performance can be rated as 9 points, and the remaining 1 point is not to say that he was deficient in this game, but that he still has room for improvement.

Just watching this game, he is probably the player who runs the most. His presence is everywhere. As a forward, he resolutely implemented the team's full-court press tactics and used successful steals to provide counterattacks for his teammates.

opportunity, and contributed a direct assist and a final kill, I am willing to call him the mvp of this game!"

He touched his forehead and did not forget to praise himself in the end:

"I have said before that he can become an excellent free agent, just like Beckenbauer and Sammer. Although today's game is only the first test, I have already seen the prospects for success."

The reporters in the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.

【Beckenbauer, Sammer?】

【Did the Portuguese drink too much today?】

Although Nuno's evaluation was unanimously questioned by the media, Lipolo still won the MVP of this game, and with his outstanding performance of passing and shooting, he entered the best team of this round of La Liga.

There are not many superstars in this list. In addition to Li Polo, there are also Parejo, Figugli, and Aduriz who scored two goals. The biggest star is probably Real Madrid who saved the penalty kick.

Goalkeeper Navas...

None of the superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Griezmann, Bale, Suarez, and Neymar were selected - after all, Cristiano Ronaldo misfired again in the city derby against Atletico Madrid, and Griezmann missed a penalty point

As for Messi and his teammates, their performance was even worse. They were the Triple Crown winners and lost directly to Sevilla...

14025 running distance, 36 touches, 23 passes, 17 successes, 7 steals, 4 aerial duels, 6 fouls, 5 fouls, 1 yellow card, 3 shots, 1 shot on target, 1 goal, 1 assist...

Lee Polo's statistics in this game are comprehensive!

Except for one thing:

Not once did he succeed...

Since there is no great competition, it is completely acceptable for Lee Polo to win the seventh round MVP of La Liga with a slight advantage over Aduriz.

It's a pity that in Li Polo's contract, this kind of award... there is no bonus!

After seven rounds of league games, the Bats have 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, temporarily ranking fifth in the standings with 14 points.

Leading the standings is Villarreal with 16 points, followed by Real Madrid, Celta Vigo and Barcelona with 15 points respectively. As for Atletico Madrid with 13 points, they are still behind Valencia.

But then came the international match week, and the national players who were called up returned to their home countries to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

For example, Australia's first national goalkeeper Matthew Ryan, who was recently benched, has been unable to play in the game, and his state is somewhat worrying.

There is also Algeria's No. 1 player Fegouli. After playing in the league and the Champions League continuously, he returned to Africa to participate in the competition. He also had some physical problems.

Mustafi is very relaxed, because he is just a soy sauce in the German team...

As for other players who did not have national team duties, they did not take a week off directly as before. This time the vacation was only two days, and they quickly gathered afterwards and continued to participate in training sessions twice a day.

During this period, Li Polo was called to the sidelines for the first time by the coaching team for a private conversation.

Holding his training report, Nuno's expression was a little complicated:

"Your performance on the offensive end is a bit lacking in stability, such as your anticipation of passing..."

Before he could finish his words, Juan Lopez, who was always on call, quickly translated for him to his employer.

Of course Li Polo knew it well.

The cooldown time of [Eagle Eye] takes 5 minutes. If it is in a 90-minute game, this time will not be too noticeable; but in special training, this problem will be particularly obvious.

After all... one minute he could receive the pass with great accuracy and even predict the route of the pass in advance, but the next minute he couldn't even find the basic landing point. Only a fool would not notice it!

He could only explain vaguely:

"I haven't fully adapted to the role of forward yet. I'm afraid it will take some time, coach."

Nuno did not continue to delve into the reasons and accepted his remarks, but quickly said:

"I know it's difficult for you to suddenly switch to forward, and I'm willing to give you a chance to try again. However, in a short period of time, you may have to return to the defense."

He shrugged slightly:

"As you have seen in these games, Vizzo's performance is not enough for him to become a stable starter, so I need you to partner with Mustafi."

[Or play as a central defender? 】

Li Polo was a little disappointed. After all... a forward is certainly more beautiful than a defender, and it is easier to score goals.

But he didn't show it at all and nodded immediately to express his acceptance:

"Of course, coach, I will not betray your trust! Even if Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi want to score from my defensive zone, they have to ask me first!"

Nuno smiled and patted his back:

"Good boy, I admire your confidence and courage! But..."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and encouraged:

"I suggest you practice more dribbling and shooting. After all...in my tactics, your role is very important, so you must not be satisfied with just defending in the backcourt!"

For the first time, Li Polo felt a kind of attention from the Portuguese young coach, and he actually felt a little bit in his heart.

[This bald man... he allowed me to play in the reserve team just a month ago! 】

[For the sake of you finding your way back, I won’t argue with you!]
