Chapter 88 Time Management Master

"Dip, drip, drip~~"

With the referee's three whistles, the highlight of the 28th round of La Liga came to an end.

Valencia, who had the home advantage, failed to win against Atletico Madrid in the end. The two sides shook hands with each other 2:2 at Mestalla, each gaining 1 point.

But Simeone was obviously not convinced at all. At the post-match press conference, he reiterated his point of view:

"The final goal conceded was a clear handball!"

"There is nothing wrong with my tactics, and the players' performance was perfect, but... we lost to damn luck!"

Griezmann, who was named the MVP of the game, also said:

"We are only 10 seconds away from three points, but this will not bother us for too long. There are still 10 rounds of the league, and there is still hope for everything..."

-

When it came to the home team's answer session, Nuno Santo's situation was obviously not good.

Whether it was journalists from Catalonia or Madrid, they all made him feel uneasy.

For example, someone asked him:

"Valencia has led the standings for more than three months, but now it has given up its first position. How much responsibility do you think you should bear?"

This is an out-and-out trap question.

No matter how Nuno answers, it will give people a false impression.

If he answers that the coach is responsible for losing, then... when will you resign?

If he answers that he blames the poor performance of the players, then... what does he want you as a coach to do?

If he were to blame injuries again, then the reporter would also have reason to ask... Godin, the core of Atletico Madrid's defense, did not play!

Although Nuno is not good at communication, it does not mean that he is stupid!

So he pushed the microphone and handed it to Lee Polo.

Li Polo was immediately dumbfounded:

[This head coach, are you too irresponsible? 】

[No wonder the club’s senior management has long wanted to fire you!]

But he had to take the microphone and embolden the entire team:

"I agree with Mr. Simeone's point just now. We also lost to damn luck in this game."

He shrugged his shoulders:

"To be specific, that is... I lost to Oblak. Their goalkeeper is like a god. Believe me, I think Oblak is more worthy of the MVP honor than Griezmann!"

Griezmann, who had just stepped out of the door with his front foot, suddenly turned dark!

【You shameless bastard!】

[Negative sentiment from Antoine Griezmann, 66!]

Then I heard Li Polo continue to say:

"This season is not over yet. The difference between us and Barcelona is only 1 point, and the situation may be reversed at any time. So, don't make premature conclusions. Let us take a look and see what will happen next.

!”

He paused and added:

"By the way, I really hope that I can play against Atletico Madrid again in the Champions League!"

Simeone's face turned dark too!

【This damn brat!】

[Valencia defeated Manchester City 5:0 in the first round, almost 100% locking in a place in the top eight, but Atletico Madrid... still has a tough battle before advancing! 】

【Simone, 55!】

-

It is worth mentioning that after the game, La Liga officials determined that Valencia's equalizing goal did not come from Li Polo, but an own goal scored by Lucas Hernandez, so Li Polo

The offensive data in this game was only a pitiful 1 goal.

In the league scorer list, he can only score 23 goals, continuing to tie for second place with Suarez...

"Diego, Jaume, Matthew, and Joel, if possible, can you practice with me for an extra half hour every day?"

Li Polo, who learned his shame and gained courage, called all four Valencia goalkeepers together in one breath.

Whether it was because they sensed his determination or were intimidated by his dominant position in the team, none of the four goalkeepers dared to refuse his request and nodded in agreement.

So with a stroke of his pen, Li Poluo compiled an [additional practice list].

For half an hour before training every morning, second goalkeeper Jaume Domenech is in charge.

Half an hour after training, fourth goalkeeper Joel Rodriguez took over.

Before afternoon training, it belonged to third-choice goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

After a day of training, it was left to first goalkeeper Diego Alves and Lipolo to analyze the gains and losses.

Seeing Li Polo's timing, the four goalkeepers all looked at each other.

Matthew Ryan, who was already showing signs of failure, couldn't help but ask:

"Are you sure you practice for two hours every day? I'm afraid it's too much of a load on your body, right?"

But Lee Polo didn't care:

"Load? It doesn't exist. If I didn't have these two hours, I would arrange a two-hour variable speed run in the morning and evening!"

Alves hugged his shoulders appreciatively:

"I admire your determination, brother!"

"If you're not tired, I can practice with you for half an hour more!"

Over there, DePaul also limped over:

"Brother, after my foot injury recovers, I will also practice with you!"

Looking at his appearance, Li Polo quickly shook his head:

"Forget it! I just ask you to pass a high ball for me, and you can twist your ankle! If I ask you to fight me next time, won't you be reimbursed for the entire season?"

-

Thanks to the relatively relaxed schedule of La Liga, Li Polo has the energy to carry out devil training.

If he were in the Premier League, he would have entered the sprint stage of frequent two or even three games a week. Just participating in various games would be enough to exhaust him and his teammates. How could he have such leisure and leisure to recharge his batteries?

After a week of extra practice, Valencia went away on March 13 to challenge Levante, their opponent in the 29th round of the league.

Levante has been miserable this season. Starting from the 9th round, it has been ranked last in the league. This ranking has continued for a full 20 rounds...

They only achieved a record of 5 wins, 6 draws and 17 losses in the first 28 rounds. However, due to the bottom ranking of Sporting Gijon, Granada, Getafe, Rayo Vallecano, Las Palmas, Espanyol, and Mara

The points of teams such as Canada and Betis are not very high, and Levante still has the possibility of relegation.

There are three types of opponents in the football world that are the most difficult to deal with. One is the team competing for the championship, the other is the team fighting for relegation, and the third type is Arsenal competing for the fourth stage...

By the way, Levante is also based in Valencia, so this game can be called the "Valencia City Derby"!

Since there is no animosity between the two teams, the players cannot find a reason to fight to the death.

If Valencia can establish a large lead in the standings, or simply be in the middle of the pack with no desire for anything, they might give away the three points and let their city rival stay with them in La Liga.

.

But now Valencia is in urgent need of a victory to reverse the decline. Their desire for three points is stronger than Levante!

Two opponents who also want to take all three points have been attacking with all their strength from the beginning of the game!

In this game, Lee Polo did not return to the defense, but continued to serve as the starting forward. Together with Paco and Mina, he formed a new frontcourt trident!

It only took them 30 minutes to tell today's opponents the cruel facts:

【Fight against the Bat Army?】

【I'm afraid you may be thinking too much!】

[Based on your record of scoring 26 goals and conceding 52 goals in 28 rounds, how can you be embarrassed to play against Valencia? 】

In the 9th minute, Gaya made a pass from the left, and Lee Polo headed the ball back. Paco, who was ambushing behind him, jumped into the penalty area like a ghost and broke the deadlock with a light poke.

Just 5 minutes later, Mina created a free kick opportunity on the right. Cancelo made a curve ball and accurately found Lee Polo in the crowd, who overwhelmed all the defensive players.

Leap high and complete the iconic header.

At the 24th minute, Valencia temporarily switched to ground penetration. After Li Polo held the ball, he attracted the central defender to come forward to press, but he gave it to Paco at the first time. The latter chose to pass the ball across the goalkeeper and outflanked him.

Mina hit the goal from behind!

Levante, which conceded three goals in the first half, completely lost the courage to continue competing with Valencia!

In the second half, as Gomez scored directly with a long shot, Nuno Santo also chose to call it a day and replaced three main players including Paco, Gomez and Gaya, using Zakaria and Negredo.

, Orban brushes up his presence.

After all, they still have to save some energy for the Champions League match in midweek.

If they are defeated by Blue Moon in Manchester and are successfully reversed by scoring 6 goals in a row, the entire Valencia team can go to the rooftop to brag!
