The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 79 I want a grand slam!

February 23, press conference before the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

"You suffered a 1:5 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup last week. Will this affect your performance tomorrow?"

Manchester City coach Pellegrini, the "Chilean engineer" who came from afar, had to face such unfriendly questions right away.

But he was not surprised at all. After all, the tragic defeat was indeed due to his "suicide". Facing the Blues Chelsea, who were no less powerful than him, he actually chose to rotate all members!

Except for one midfielder, Fernando, the other 10 players are all substitutes!

It’s strange to win like this!

"The FA Cup has passed, and we have learned a lesson. No one wants to experience such a failure a second time. So in tomorrow's game, we will definitely go all out to rectify the team's name!"

The player representative who attended the press conference and former bat player Otamendi also expressed his position:

"I didn't expect that I would be able to return to Mestalla so soon. Of course I am very happy to see my old club perform so well this season, but now I am a Manchester City player and I have to give my all to

The club plays football. Well... I can only promise that if I score a goal tomorrow, I will never celebrate it. This is my promise to Mestalla."

"I can only guarantee that Otamendi will not score a goal tomorrow. This is my promise to Mestalla."

Otamendi had just raised his buttocks from the speaking chair, and no one had left the press conference room when he heard an extremely arrogant voice.

What followed immediately was countless "crackling" spotlights.

Pellegrini couldn't help but frowned, but still stopped, wanting to hear what the "top scorer in the Bat Army" had to say.

Nuno glanced at Li Polo, and the Portuguese, who never liked talking to others, chose to give up the right to speak.

Just listen to what Li Polo said:

"You have already got the starting list, so there is no need for us to hide it. Yes, I will serve as a forward in tomorrow's game. Then I will let Otamendi see the strength of La Liga's top scorer!"

One reporter stood up immediately:

"I have to remind you that Ronaldo is the top scorer in La Liga, and you scored one goal less than him."

Li Polo spread his hands indifferently:

"Oh, really? In my case, penalty kicks don't count as goals."

[Negative sentiment from Otamendi, 10]

【C Ronaldo, 100!】

"A penalty kick does not count as a goal! Lee Polo publicly humiliated Ronaldo!"

"Arrogant! Lee Polo threatened to blow up the old bat general!"

"The free agent is back in action? Lee Polo will be the striker again!"

"The end of friendship? Faced with his former favorite general, Nuno Santo had no expression on his face and didn't say a word the whole time!"

"Otamendi is furious! There is no mercy in Mestalla!"

The press conference was not over yet. The reporters continued to listen to Lee Polo's nonsense while typing out various headlines.

For example, someone asked:

"What do you think of Manchester City? Are they the favorites to win the Premier League this season?"

Li Polo first stretched out his hand and pressed softly:

"Wait a minute."

Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the Premier League standings:

"Oh, sorry, Manchester City is only ranked fourth now, just like Real Madrid in La Liga. I don't understand how they can become the favorite to win the championship? Do you think Real Madrid still has hope to complete a great comeback?"

【Negative emotions from Zidane, 10!】

【Florentino,20】

【C Ronaldo, 50!】

He also pretended to analyze:

"Judging from the current situation, Leicester City is the favorite to win the championship. If I could go back to the beginning of the season, I would definitely spend all my cash to go to Stud Fox City to win the championship! By the way, does anyone know anything?

law?"

He looked around:

"As a La Liga player, if I bet on Leicester City to win, would it violate European or English law?"

The reporters in the audience looked at each other in confusion. No one knew why he suddenly raised such a professional question.

Fortunately, these reporters are not tabloids such as "The Sun". Over the years, they have often been educated by various departments in Spain, especially the tax department, and they have some legal knowledge. When faced with Li Polo's questions,

Someone soon gave the answer:

"Betting on English teams in Spain is obviously legal and valid unless your funding comes from improper sources."

Li Polo gave the professional reporter a thumbs up:

"Thank you for your answer. In return, I will give you priority to ask questions."

The reporter pondered for three seconds and finally asked:

"Can you tell me your assessment of Manchester City?"

Li Polo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shrugged:

"Evaluation? Your question is too broad."

He sorted out his thoughts a little and quickly gave his answer:

"The situation in the Premier League this season can be described as somewhat of an accident. The traditional giant teams, I mean Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc., have not performed normally, and have not even been able to enter the top four, so as a result now

The situation is very chaotic.”

He lowered his head and glanced at the standings on the screen of his mobile phone:

"Although Manchester City is only 6 points behind first-place Leicester City, their performance does not match the club's financial investment and support. If Valencia can only be ranked fourth in La Liga this season, then I

I think Boss Lin will not be satisfied, because we spent more than 100 million in the summer transfer window!"

He remembered again when the knockout draw results had just come out:

"You may have heard that last season, I led the fourth-level Wimbledon to win four championship trophies in the English League Two, FA Cup, League Cup, and English Championship. In various cup competitions,

We have successively eliminated the five giants of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal. According to the traditional big 6 of the Premier League, only Manchester City has not played against me."

He showed a meaningful smile:

"I am a professional player who starts well and ends well, pursuing perfection. I am very eager to achieve the Grand Slam achievement of 'eliminating all the big6' in the Champions League!"

Pellegrini, who had been standing at the door to listen, finally couldn't help but walked away!

【Really arrogant!】

【Who do you think you are!】

【Negative emotions from Pei Gong, 20!】

When this pre-match press conference was broadcast on television and the media, the entire English football world was shocked.

Everyone unanimously criticized Li Polo's remarks fiercely:

"Who does he think he is?"

"Who is he to criticize chaos in the Premier League?"

"Where is the chaos in the Premier League? Aren't we Arsenal ranked third as always?"

"Yes, yes, we are ranked second at Tottenham! We are firmly on top of Arsenal!"

"Get off your horse and get out of here!"

At this moment, someone reminded them:
