The biggest fanatic in football

In view of the many injuries in the team, Nuno Santo sent a hodgepodge of 11 substitutes and youth training members in the Copa del Rey match on December 2 before facing Barcelona.

Third goalkeeper Matthew Ryan, substitute defender Orban, three U23 members Ayala, Vidal, and Acapo, three midfielders Tropi, Barbosa, and Augusto, and the forward line is

Negredo, Piatti, Hill.

The biggest one is, of course, Mr. Negredo, who cost 28 million, but he has not been able to start a game for almost three months. During this period, although he has been lifted from the ban, he can only sit on the bench most of the time, or in garbage time.

He played for three to five minutes and couldn't find his form at all.

Although their opponent was only Barakado in the fourth level of the league - which is the league where the Valencia youth training team competes - such a lineup with the youth training team as the main team scored 0 with the opponent.

:0 It’s not surprising at all.

Negredo showed unprecedented positivity and even learned from Li Polo's playing style, committing 5 frontcourt fouls in 90 minutes. However, he was obviously out of shape after being unable to play for a long time. Although he was very excited,

But... my feet felt very cold. Two single shots and three headers could only be regarded as relief for the opponent.

The 0:0 score lasted until the last second. Counting this game, Valencia has not won a single game in three rounds.

Of course, from another perspective, it can also be said that they have remained undefeated in the past two games...

But these are not important. What is important is that today Valencia is still firmly in second place in the league, and Nuno's coaching position is still as stable as rock.

-

"I know Valencia has suffered some injuries and suspensions recently, and I deeply regret their plight."

On December 5, at the pre-match press conference, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique first expressed his attitude:

"But this is professional football. We have also experienced injuries to Messi and Iniesta before. Now they have recovered and returned to normal training. We also hope that Nuno can overcome these difficulties as soon as possible..."

Nuno, who was sitting not far away, had a dark face:

[Listen, are you talking humanly?]

[Now that you are a full-member Sasha, you are here to secretly laugh at my camp full of wounded soldiers?]

Even though it was an away game, Barcelona still received enthusiastic attention, and reporters in the audience asked questions one after another.

For example, someone secretly stirs up trouble in the locker room:

"Messi and Neymar were selected as the top three for the 2015 Ballon d'Or. Who do you think is more likely to win this award?"

Enrique was not fooled at all and used a move of Tai Chi:

"I think Suarez should also be in the top three. msn is the greatest forward trident in football history. Any one of them is qualified to win the Ballon d'Or!"

Someone immediately stood up:

"You mean... Ronaldo doesn't deserve to be in the top three?"

Enrique raised his chin:

"Yes, I don't think a player without any trophies can be the player of the year."

Someone in the audience whistled, and they had already thought of the hot headlines for the next week:

"The Barcelona coach openly announced: Cristiano Ronaldo does not deserve to be in the top three of the Ballon d'Or!"

"Enrique: Real Madrid's core can only play as a substitute at Barcelona!"

After Real Madrid and Ronaldo rebuttal, they can release a few more episodes of the series!

Since Real Madrid was mentioned, a reporter continued to ask:

"Real Madrid may be overturned to lose the Copa del Rey due to illegal use of players. What do you think about this?"

Enrique shrugged:

"I'm just the head coach of Barcelona. Real Madrid's affairs are not in my control. The next one is next."

Another reporter changed the subject:

"What about Mascherano's affair with the tax office?"

Enrique frowned and gave a simple answer:

"He has paid back the taxes in accordance with the law. This matter is over. Next one."

When the microphone was handed over to Messi, the player representative next to him, the reporters became even more interested:

"Leo, how is your physical condition now?"

Messi:

"I feel good and can play the full game."

"Are you confident of winning your fifth Ballon d'Or?"

"I'm looking forward to that day."

"The authoritative British magazine "442" ranked you first among the top 100 global football stars in 2015, with more than 50% of the votes. What do you think?"

"...I am honored and grateful to them."

"What do you think of tomorrow's game?"

"Valencia has always been a strong team, and they have proved it this season. They are very aggressive and aggressive. This is a wonderful offensive battle."

"Valencia's main defender tomorrow, Lee Polo, do you know him?"

Messi was not surprised by this question. He nodded:

"We have studied the opponent's game video. He is a defender with excellent defensive ability. He has strong talents in fighting for high-altitude balls and anticipating passing routes. I am looking forward to playing against him.

."

A reporter from Aspen finally stood up:

"Leo, we heard that the Spanish Royal Tax Service has once again found irrefutable evidence of tax evasion on your part, and the amount involved was huge. What do you think?"

Messi's face darkened and he immediately walked away!

-

After a few minutes, the home team's coach and player representatives took over the venue.

Nuno, who has been interviewed almost every day recently, is obviously a little impatient:

"I've been answering the same question for a week, so I don't want to waste too much time today. If you have questions, you can ask my players."

Sitting next to him was not the team’s captains and vice-captains, Parejo and Fuego, but the team’s second goalscorer, Li Polo.

Regarding the head coach's face, Li Polo secretly gave him a thumbs up and then turned on the microphone in front of him:

"I'm not very proficient in Spanish, so please keep your questions as simple as possible, or you can ask them in English or Chinese."

Upon hearing his stumbling Spanish and seeing the translator sitting next to Lee Polo, the reporters in the audience suddenly lost interest.

【What does Valencia mean?】

[This is your attitude towards such a highly anticipated battle for the top spot?]

[The head coach doesn’t want to talk, and the player representative is half-illiterate!]

[If you don’t cooperate with our work, we can only discredit you in news reports!]

Fortunately, the local media in Valencia still gave enough face and stood up to support the situation at the critical moment:

"The team's recent state is not stable. We saw the 18-man roster just announced, but we didn't see Feguli's name?"

Li Polo paused and nodded:

"Unfortunately, he was injured in previous training..."

Nuno glanced at him subconsciously and muttered in his heart:

[It was your boy who injured him by shoveling him!]

A Curly raised his right hand:

"Reporter from World Sports News, what you are about to face is the greatest forward trident in football history, but you only have a makeshift defense line. I want to know, what do you rely on to prevent conceding the ball?"

His question was so long that Li Polo had to turn to the translator next to him before he continued to answer:

"You are right. Messi, Neymar, and Suarez are all world-class superstars. I am also looking forward to playing against them. But... I hope they can accept my challenge."

The reporter was stunned for a moment:

"Challenge? What challenge?"

Li Polo explained to him politely:

"What I mean is, I hope they won't focus all their attention on my teammates. If they are really the strongest trident in the world, they will come and beat me!"
