The biggest fanatic in football

On January 21st, in the middle of this week, Valencia took advantage of every opportunity to play the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

They welcomed Las Palmas at home. This opponent is only ranked 17th in the league, with 18 points. It is 33 points away from the top of the list, Valencia, but only 1 point away from the relegation zone...

Such an opponent is destined to only focus on the great cause of league relegation, and they will definitely not have much interest in the cup competition.

Nuno Santo showed no mercy, directing the team to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks, and even gave the morale-boosting words he used when sweeping Granada 5:0 in the last round:

"Atletico Madrid can get a score of 3:0 in the away game, but we are in Mestalla today!"

Since the head coach said this, of course the players would not let go. In less than 30 minutes, Rodrigo and Mina successively broke through the opponent's city, and Lee Polo seized the opportunity to score a header.

, at the end of the first half, Las Palmas was already three goals behind!

In the second half, the home team's offense still did not weaken. Nuno directly called Negredo, Zakaria and Piatti from the bench, hoping to stimulate the starting players who were not excited enough.

Negredo, the "strong team's soft-footed shrimp", did not waste the precious soft persimmon on the opposite side. He scored twice and wiped away all thoughts of Las Palmas!

With a score of 5:0, Valencia made the second round a week later completely meaningless!

Three days later, on January 24, in the 21st round of La Liga, the wealthy clubs suddenly collectively pulled their hips.

The Galacticos were in a tough battle at Real Betis' home court. They lost the gate in the first 6 minutes.

Facing Real Madrid's former second goalkeeper Adan, Cristiano Ronaldo shot 9 times in 90 minutes but failed to score a goal. Bale directly said goodbye to the squad due to injury. In the end, he relied on Benzema in the 71st

Minutes later, he managed to equalize the score.

Atletico Madrid was tied 1:1 at home by Sevilla, but considering that Sevilla is also a traditional powerhouse, this draw is not surprising.

As for Barcelona, ​​they also encountered difficulties.

Neymar suffered a minor injury before the game, Pique was unable to play due to accumulated yellow cards, and Vermaelen had not yet left the medical room. As a result, apart from Mascherano, they could no longer find a serious central defender.

!

——What’s more, Ma Ma’s position at his peak was never a central defender!

Barcelona, ​​which was short of major generals, was eventually tied 2:2 by Malaga, ranked 12th. In order to compete for the ball, Messi even had a rare fierce physical conflict with the opponent's player, so that he received a yellow card.

As for Valencia, it's just a matter of fifty steps and a hundred steps.

At the Riazor Stadium, the home ground of ninth-ranked Deportivo La Coruna, the Bat Corps suffered an unexpected blow.

Paco, who had just returned from injury, suffered a recurrence of his old injury in the 10th minute and had to regretfully leave the game. After thinking for more than half a minute, Nuno Santo made a substitution decision that surprised everyone:

"Bring on Vizo!"

A confused Vizzo took off his coat while listening to assistant coach Rui Pedro explain the tactics:

"Your task is very simple, play as a central defender and let Lee Polo be the forward!"

Vizzo understood immediately, but he wanted to tell his coach:

【Actually...I can also play forward!】

Li Polo, who was suddenly pushed to the forward line, did not react, but he only glanced at the opponent's defense and immediately understood the coach's intention:

Deportivo's two central defenders, one with a height of 185 and the other with a height of 184, have no air superiority in front of the 183-meter Lee Polo!

One minute ago, Deportivo's defenders were thinking about how to limit Paco's speed and movement. The next minute, they suddenly had to face Li Polo's high-altitude bombing. Valencia suddenly changed their offensive coordination routine.

Caught them a little off guard!

Sure enough, in the 13th minute, DePaul sent a cross from the left. Before he had time to establish his position on the forward line, Lee Polo overwhelmed the opponent's defender and easily scored with a flick of his head!

Valencia, which was leading by one goal, did not completely open up the situation. Depor players playing at home showed their tenacious fighting spirit and used rapid passing and cutting cooperation many times to push the offensive into the hinterland of the visiting team, allowing Parejo to

Perez, Gomez and others were in a hurry.

Fortunately, Mustafi and Vizzo did not pull their hips together, and Gaya on the left has also returned, and Cancelo on the right is in even better shape. Although the entire defense line has been repeatedly threatened, it has never lost.

a ball.

Not only that, Mustafi successfully grabbed the ball in the 41st minute, allowing Valencia to launch another sharp offensive.

Parejo distributed the ball in the middle, DePaul passed the ball to Gomez, and the Portuguese midfielder ran with the ball for more than 30 meters and sent it straight to the feet of Li Polo!

As soon as the ball was passed, Gomez slapped his forehead:

"Forgot that Paco was gone!"

"I should pass the high ball when I'm riding a horse!"

But what surprised him was that Lee Polo quickly caught up with his through ball, relied on his speed advantage to eat up the opponent's defender, and then dribbled the ball horizontally away from the goalkeeper before sending the ball in with one kick.

Internet nest!

2:0!

Deportivo's coaches and players were immediately confused:

"This is unscientific!"

"Isn't this player...only capable of heading the ball?"

"Why did he score with his feet again?"

-

"this……"

Several coaches on the bench also looked at each other a little bit.

They have long been familiar with Lee Polo's skills and know that this defensive core lacks sufficient talent in dribbling and shooting, and he also lacks systematic training in his youth. Even though he is working very hard to make up for it, he is still unable to make up for it.

Progress is not obvious.

If Li Poluo knew what they were thinking, he would definitely feel aggrieved:

[My shooting points have increased from a mere 19 points in August 2014 to 30 points now, an increase of nearly 60%. How can I say that the progress is not obvious? 】

[It has skyrocketed by 11 points in 18 months. Even if you play FIFA, it cannot be so fast, right? 】

——Yes, just after scoring this ground ball, Li Polo heard the system prompt again, and his shooting attributes increased a little from 29 points.

——Here, Lee Polo must thank his girlfriend, Lisanna Taylor. In the process of improving his skills, Lisanna has been enthusiastically encouraging him and put in unimaginable sweat.

I often screamed until my throat was broken, causing my voice to become hoarse when I woke up the next day, and my body even occasionally had bruises and scars.

Lisanna, it’s really not easy!

After brainstorming in the coaching bench, Nuno Santo found a reasonable explanation:

"Actually, this goal is very reasonable. He relies more on speed than on skills with his feet."

Rui Pedro quickly agreed:

"Yes, yes, his speed is indeed too fast. Not only the defender cannot catch up with him, but the goalkeeper cannot block it."

Volo also nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, on the contrary, he was dribbling the ball horizontally in front of the goal. You can obviously see some staggering."

Phil Neville could only echo their sentiments:

"Let me just say, he is just an ordinary person, how can he cover everything?"

The four coaches reached a consensus and smiled one after another.

They are all professional players. Of course they know how difficult it is for a player to achieve breakthroughs in technical ability after he reaches adulthood!

They would rather believe that Li Polo's goal was just a coincidence!
