"Dip, drip, drip~~~"

When referee Cross blew the final whistle, the score ended at 2:1.

After 90 minutes of furious attack, Barcelona still failed to regain the score. However, at the last moment, the gap in the defense was once again exposed, and Andre Gomez, who came on the bench, scored a long shot.

Valencia passed Barcelona with a total score of 6:2 in the two rounds and advanced to the finals. Their opponent was Sevilla, who also eliminated Celta Vigo with 6:2.

The Spanish media discovered somewhat unexpectedly:

This season is the first time since 2010 that both Real Madrid and Barcelona missed the Copa del Rey final!

Needless to say, Real Madrid was disqualified from the tournament due to illegal use of Cheryshev in the first round...

As for Barcelona, ​​they eliminated Villalonis, Espanyol, and Athletic Bilbao all the way. The scores were quite disparate in every round, but they did not expect to be beaten by Valencia!

Valencia vs Sevilla... This Copa del Rey final can be called the most miserable match in the 21st century!

But for Valencia's coaches and players, such an opponent is simply telling themselves:

"I have to win at least one championship this year!"

-

Like the English FA Cup, as an official cup competition, the Spanish King's Cup final is also scheduled to be held in May.

So before that, Valencia still has to concentrate on dealing with the league.

The day after defeating Barcelona, ​​Lee Polo arrived at the Patna training base early and saw a strange figure.

This guy is slightly taller than him by an inch, has thick knuckles, and has a pair of gloves between his arms. He is obviously a goalkeeper.

After seeing Li Polo enter the venue, the other party greeted him warmly:

"Hi! You must be Polo, I am Diego Alves, the goalkeeper of the team."

Li Polo immediately responded and sent his own hug without any hesitation:

"Hahaha, Diego, today is our first official meeting! Welcome back to the team!"

The goalkeeper joined Valencia in 2011 and is one of the oldest members of the current team. However, he accidentally sprained his cruciate ligament last summer, and the surgery was not successful, which led to a slow recovery and direct absence.

For most of the season...

"Thanks, bro."

Alves put on his gloves and tilted his head towards him:

"I know that you are not only the ace of our team, but also the top scorer in the league. As a goalkeeper, I will not miss the opportunity to compete with a top scorer like you. How about, let's do a warm-up activity?"

Of course he also has his own little thoughts.

The eight-month recovery period caused him to completely miss the tactical integration with the entire team, especially the new defensive general. They had almost no understanding of each other, let alone a tacit understanding.

He already knows that Li Polo's status in the team is extraordinary now, so he wants to show his strength in front of this teammate even more. Then use facts to prove that even if he has just recovered from a serious injury, he is still qualified to start.

!

Li Polo didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Matthew Ryan, who had trained with him for two months before, was obviously depressed when he was repeatedly unable to play. Recently, he couldn't find anyone at all. Now the stronger first goalkeeper came to him for additional training.

, Of course he couldn’t ask for it!

[Let you see how strong my shooting ability is as the top scorer in La Liga! 】

Li Polo picked a football from the bag, then stepped on the edge of the penalty area, preparing to take a long shot, which was a warm-up for everyone.

Unexpectedly, Alves smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the 12-yard point:

"It's too far, let's go here."

Li Polo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"Are you sure you want to take the penalty kick?"

Alves nodded confidently:

"I have a little experience in saving penalty kicks."

Since he said that, how could Li Polo be polite to him? He directly moved forward 6 meters, and after taking three steps, he hit a powerful and heavy cannon!

As a defender with a shooting attribute of 30, he doesn't have much skill in kicking penalties, so he just does it!

The ball he kicked was like a bomb, whizzing to the right side of the goal with extremely fast speed and a very stable direction.

But Alves' reaction speed was not slow at all. He took a big step to the left, jumped into the air, and lifted the ball with one palm just as the ball was about to fly over the goal line!

Then I saw the 31-year-old goalkeeper rolling on the spot, standing up neatly, and nodded to Lee Polo with a smile on his face:

"The power and speed are very good, but it lacks a little bit of skill. This is the type of shot I like to save the most. If you can pursue a little more angle, the quality of this penalty kick will be even more perfect."

Li Polo did not say a word.

【Who doesn’t know that it is safer to play in the blind corner? 】

【But...do you think I can kick it in?】

Alves reacted instantly, and his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

[Made, don’t make this a self-defeating thing and offend this future star’s pride!]

He coughed and continued to extend the invitation tentatively:

"There's still half an hour left, let's continue practicing for a while?"

Li Boluo is gearing up:

"This is what you said. You are not allowed to run away before training begins!"

This time he showed no mercy and dumped all the footballs in his net bag into the penalty area.

Then Li Poluo rolled up his sleeves and showed a ferocious smile:

"You have to be ready to see if I don't shoot you into a sieve!"

-

On February 14th, they will face their 24th round opponent at home - Barcelona's city rival, Espanyol.

The night before facing the Spaniards, Li Polo also welcomed Lisanna, who flew in from London.

"Well, I'm not prepared for anything."

Li Polo was indeed very surprised, because this girlfriend did not say hello to him, so that he had already sent the Valentine's Day flowers and gifts to Lisanna's school in a hurry. As long as the express company goes to work tomorrow, Lisanna will be there.

You will definitely receive your love gift worth up to 200 yuan before noon...

Lisanna put her arms around his neck, hanging on him like a sloth:

"I don't want to spend this holiday alone!"

She blinked and showed an alert look:

500 words are omitted here, please join the group to view.

"Dip~"

【Shoot:30→31!】

【Ball control:52→53!】

【Pass:30→31!】

【Physique:80→81!】

After hard training, Li Poluo's attributes have been improved.

If Alves knew all this, his heart would bleed:

[Is the shooting practice you and I practice every day really useful?]

-

Eighteen hours later, Li Polo supported his old waist and entered a state of preparation for war.

In the locker room before the game, assistant coach Rui Pedro was still talking:

"Let me tell you a piece of news: Barcelona slaughtered Celta Vigo 6:1 at the Nou Camp. Suarez made three shots and made two passes, Messi made one goal and made two passes, and missed a penalty kick..."

Nuno took up the topic:

"Barcelona, ​​the noble team, can only find some dignity in relegation teams like Celta Vigo. They can't hold their head high in front of us!"

The players laughed happily.

——No one will ask Nuno questions at this time:

"Since we are so strong, why do we have to use defensive counterattack tactics at home in the end?"

Players don't have to think about so many things!

Just follow the coaching team and drink chicken soup to get blood!

Nuno suddenly noticed that Ace Thigh, who had always been very active in the locker room, was a bit silent today.

With only half an hour before the game, Li Polo actually found the team's massage therapist João Lapa:

"Hurry up and press your waist muscles for me!"

Nuno's little heart was suddenly lifted up, and he couldn't help but draw a big cross on his chest:

"Thigh, Mustafi has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended. You must not get hurt!"
