The biggest fanatic in football

"Paul, are you finally healed?"

DePaul, who returned to the training base for the first time after injury, received cordial greetings from his teammates.

Names in the Spanish area are troublesome. If the system hadn't given him a memory function, Lee Polo might still not be able to remember the full names of these teammates.

For example, De Paul, this Argentinian is called Rodrigo Javier De Paul.

The other injured Rodrigo is called Rodrigo Moreno Machado, so sometimes teammates can only distinguish them by their last names or nicknames...

In the face of concern, DePaul responded with a smile one by one, until he saw the team's physical fitness coach Antonio Dias:

"You seem to have gained a lot of weight? Please put me on the scale first!"

DePaul obediently took off his coat and even kicked off his training shoes, then took a long breath, and then stood on the multi-function scale with trepidation.

While waiting for the results, he did not forget to explain a few words for himself:

"The team doctor said I need to rest, so I may be a little heavier, and I am also prone to obesity..."

"Shh!"

Diaz interrupted his quibbles, took out his form and filled in the numbers:

"It's okay. I've only gained less than one kilogram. But I suggest you practice for 30 to 40 minutes after the training session to quickly recover to your best condition. Otherwise, I won't recommend you to be included in the starting lineup."

DePaul immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"I'll practice for an extra hour!"

Playing under Nuno Santo, if your physical fitness is not up to par, how can you still implement his full-court pressing tactics?

Dias's eyes swept over the other players and finally stopped at Li Polo.

He blinked and asked a little doubtfully:

"Polo, you just took a week's vacation, why do you seem to have lost weight?"

After all, he was a coach specifically responsible for physical training, and he could see the results of Lee Polo's vacation at a glance.

Zakaria clenched his fists, looking displeased like "a bad student reporting a top student for crazily making up classes during the holidays":

"He must have been secretly training himself again! He just wants to trigger vicious competition within the locker room!"

【Orban,3】

【Mustafi,2】

【Gaya,2】

【Cancelo,2】

【Fuego,1】

…

Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Li Polo quickly explained to his teammates:

"I swear to God, I definitely didn't secretly practice more! I haven't touched the ball once in the past seven days. I have been on vacation in London! You have to believe me!"

[Everything I say is true. I really haven’t practiced any more, but my ball-handling skills have improved!]

--

Due to this international competition week, most national teams participated in two rounds of World Cup qualifying. For example, Fegouli led Algeria to a 9-2 victory over Tanzania in two rounds and successfully advanced to the top 20 in the African region.

Don't look at the fact that they just slaughtered their opponents like chopping melons and vegetables, and there is no shortage of Fegouli, Mahrez, Soleimani (Slimani), Bentaleb, Ghulam, Brahimi, etc. in the team.

He is a first-team player in the mainstream leagues, but in the African region where there are many strong players, Algeria can only be regarded as a fourth-tier underdog, with no chance of qualifying for the World Cup - probably similar to Luxembourg, Armenia, and North Macedonia in the European region; Asia

India, Vietnam, Singapore and others in the region (2015).

There are no weaklings in Africa, and it deserves its reputation!

Perhaps because he wanted to let Feguli continue his hot form with the national team into club matches, on the third day after he returned to the team, Nuno Santo continued to arrange for him to start in the 12th round of the league.

Valencia's opponents are not strong, and Las Palmas is only ranked 18th in the standings...

But in such a game, even Fei Tianwang himself did not expect that he, who had just finished playing for the national team, would perform so poorly in this league!

He made three receiving errors in twenty minutes!

He stopped the ball three meters away, crossed the ball out of the baseline, and passed people like garlic!

He even suspected that he was possessed by his teammate Lee Polo!

[Maybe my feet were transplanted?]

These are nothing, he almost made an own goal during a return pass!

If Paco hadn't opened the scoring in the 8th minute, keeping Valencia in the lead, Nuno on the sidelines would have been furious!

"fifa virus?"

Seeing Fei Tianwang being thrown away on the sidelines and falling down at the first touch, Nuno had to admit that he should not let him start.

[Look at Mustafi, how steady he is!]

[Oh, Mustafi didn’t play for the German team?]

[Then look at Li Polo. He said he was on vacation, but he secretly trained his muscles. Las Palmas' forward Sergio Araujo was as good as a primary school boy under his defense.

fall!】

After comparison, Li Polo's evaluation in the mind of the head coach has improved several points...

-

At halftime, Figuly, who was completely out of shape, was replaced by DePaul, and Valencia switched to a 4-4-2 formation.

The center forward, Negredo, was sitting behind Nuno but did not show any dissatisfaction.

[Yes, allowing you to sit on the bench and enjoy the game for free is already an act of mercy, so why do you dare to complain? 】

The Argentine midfielder, who had been away from the game for more than 50 days, was extremely active. The entire left midfield became his range of activities, even squeezing forward Mina out of position and almost colliding with Paco.

Also benefiting from his positive performance, Valencia's midfielder showed strong control ability. The four of De Paul, Fuego, Parejo, and Gomez blocked almost 70% of the visiting team's offensive, so that Li Bo

Luo couldn't get rid of negative emotions for a long time...

Feeling the cold wind of late autumn in Mestalla, he felt that his legs were gradually starting to get cold...

In the 72nd minute, DePaul, who was standing too far forward, was successfully stolen by the opponent. With only two passes, Las Palmas' offensive broke through the previously seemingly unbreakable midfield defense!

The visiting team's right midfielder Honatan Vieira ran quickly with a ball in his hand, shook off the left back Gaya who was keen to cover the side, and chose to challenge Li Polo in a one-on-one challenge!

【You are asking for death!】

Li Polo, who was about to catch a cold, suddenly felt hot blood rushing to his forehead. He first glanced at Mustafi from the side to confirm that his partner had spotted the opponent's other forward, and then faced Vietto with a sliding tackle!

Without any suspense, Vietto used a forward roll to dodge his flying tackle before the two parties had any real contact!

"Beautiful defense! Lee Polo showed us a textbook sliding tackle!"

Even the commentator on Spanish TV was full of praise for his standard moves.

But today the referee chose to show a yellow card!

Li Polo was stunned for a moment and blurted out:

"I rode on horseback and didn't touch him!"

The unselfish referee glanced at him and explained to him in the simplest terms:

"Lifting your feet too high is too dangerous!"

Li Polo cursed loudly:

"Dangerous ass! He's diving!"

The referee looked at him sternly:

"Please watch your words."

Although Li Polo's Spanish has made some progress, there are still some shortcomings after all. For example, he has learned Spanish national curses and swear words without any teacher, and he has not fully grasped which swear words are more dirty and serious...

He wanted to curse again, "You are blind, Black Whistle!", but was pushed away by the experienced defensive midfielder Fuego.

Captain Parejo, who arrived later, quickly explained to the referee:

"Sorry, his Spanish is terrible, definitely not meant to be insulting!"

Perhaps he was moved by Parejo's sincere attitude, or perhaps he really felt that Vietto's performance was a bit too much. The referee finally released his fingers holding the yellow card and did not take out the card a second time. He just insisted on giving it.

The away team takes a free kick in the frontcourt.

"It's okay, man, it just lets you experience the difference between English and Spanish football."

Mustafi patted his partner on the shoulder and comforted:

"And this guy's flopping is nothing at all. When we play Barcelona in a few days, you will know what real skills are!"

Li Poluo raised his eyebrows:

"You mean...Messi?"

Mustafi shook his head immediately:

"Oh no no no, aren't the best divers on their team Neymar and Suarez?"

-

Valencia, who had escaped the disaster, regained their spirits. Just a few minutes later, DePaul sent a penetrating pass and assisted Mina to score, expanding the score to 2:0.

Lee Polo, who suffered an unjust injustice, even got the permission of the head coach. He was liberated from the position of central defender and moved directly to the front of the striker, becoming a positive center forward!

[Negative emotions from Negredo, 5]

The temporary center did not live up to the trust of the head coach at all. He played for less than 10 minutes and scored with a header from Cancelo's cross in the 88th minute!

3:0!

Li Polo, who completed the goal, even deliberately ran to the referee's side:

"I really didn't commit a foul!"

"With that level of one-on-one, I didn't need to foul at all!"

Seeing the arrogant expression on his face, the referee wanted to punch him!

[You little player, why are you so serious? 】

[Taking a step back, even if I really misjudged, you don’t need to be so unreasonable!]

[Both the presidents of UEFA and FIFA have said that misjudgments are part of football!]

[Negative emotions from the referee, 10!]
