The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 5 Backstab Master Li Polo!

Carrying a heavy "International Competition" championship trophy, Valencia returned to Spain after a long flight.

It was already August 4th, and there were only 10 days to prepare before the new season officially started.

Although Gary Neville led the team to participate in 4 games, the time for them to adapt to each other was still too short, and the intensity of the warm-up matches was too low, which could not achieve the effect of running the team together.

But there was nothing he could do about it. For the first time he led a team independently and took over a team that won the League and Cup double championships. The pressure he shouldered was far less relaxing than it seemed to the outside world.

After all, as a player, he only had to immerse himself in training and compete seriously. At most, he was the captain and had to unite other teammates. But after he truly became the helmsman of a battleship, he discovered that the things he needed to deal with were

There are so many!

Set season goals, analyze opponents, study tactics, lead team training, coordinate the atmosphere in the locker room, rotate lineups reasonably, inspire players to fight, accept interviews from various media, attend press conferences, participate in sponsors' commercial activities, and even lead

The team participated in community warmth activities...

In addition to these head coach responsibilities, he also has distractions from his work as an athletic director:

Listen to reports from the coaching team and scouting team, decide on the purchase and sale of players and contract renewals, review the success of the youth training camp, promote young players, regularly report to the club's board of directors, and participate in senior management meetings...

In addition, he actually let some players go through the back door and arranged a warm-up match for his old club!

If Neville hadn't just arrived and hadn't established a firm foothold yet, otherwise he would have made a warning to others and established his own prestige!

[I haven’t even arranged to play against Manchester United, how can you, a player, be given priority? 】

[In the game against Manchester United, no matter whether the scene is good or not, the tickets will definitely sell well!]

[Manchester United, Mourinho, Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Lingard, Neville vs his old club, Bastian Schweinsteiger’s battle to clear his name, Manchester United’s revenge battle against Lee Poirot... these elements,

Which point cannot be used as a gimmick to sell money?】

[Just hyping up the debate between Neville and Mourinho at the press conference can feed the media in Spain and England for a week!]

Although he had only been the head coach for 20 days, Neville discovered that the person he contacted the most in his mobile phone call records was not his wife, but Ferguson who was far away in Manchester!

Nei Wenhao, who is over forty years old, is still just an ignorant student in front of his mentor.

There are so many things he has to learn!

Four days after returning to Spain, on August 9, Lipolo welcomed his old club, New Wimbledon, at the Mestalla.

Since this was the only home warm-up match before the start of the new season, more than 30,000 enthusiastic fans poured into the Mestalla Stadium on this day.

Based on a minimum ticket price of 20 euros, plus some income from commercial sponsorships and peripheral products, this friendly match can also earn 1 million euros in revenue, which can barely cover three weeks of Li Polo's salary.

However, today's Wimbledon is no longer the semi-amateur team that hangs out in the English second league. After two seasons of hard work, they have successfully advanced to the English Championship. This summer window, they spent 5 million pounds to purchase

Although the players do not dare to expect to break into the Premier League, they are still very confident about staying in the English Championship.

5 million pounds - it may not seem like a lot, but for a newly promoted team, it is already a lot.

You know, last season’s Kuang Gang only spent 1.5 million in the English League transfer window, and now it has skyrocketed three or four times!

Li Polo even saw a few familiar figures in the opponent's lineup.

For example, the 25-year-old Will Grigg, a forward who once played for Milton Keynes, just joined the archrival in this summer window, and the transfer fee alone reached 1.5 million pounds.

——But his previous relationship with Milton was just a part-time job on loan, so he wouldn't have a too serious reputation as a traitor.

There is also midfielder Ben Reeves, who has also been on loan at Milton. He came out of the Southampton youth academy and became the new midfield core of the Crazy Gang for a price of 800,000.

Ivan Toney, who previously played for Northampton in the English League One, was a tall forward. Although he was once considered a rare talent, his development situation deteriorated after a high-profile move to Newcastle United, the Premier League powerhouse.

, once there was no ball to play, and in the end he could only be sold by the Magpies for a cabbage price of 500,000 pounds...

Akinfenwa, "England's biggest muscle tyrant" who used to train with Lee Polo every day, has seen a significant decline in physical function as he grows older. Although he is still in the team this season, he is expected to only serve as a substitute.

The replacement of the old with the new is the most normal thing. The 34-year-old Akinfenwa also took it lightly. After getting the chance to start in this game, he even hugged Lee Polo cordially for 10 seconds!

I don't know if it was his strength that was declining, or whether Li Poluo himself was getting stronger. The hell hug that once made him breathless now didn't make him feel much discomfort.

Akinfenwa was a little surprised:

"Boy, it seems that even if you become a top player, you still haven't let up!"

Li Polo smiled and patted his bald head:

"That's, so... you have to be careful!"

Akinfenwa looked at his position and spat on the ground:

"We are both strikers, you can't come over and tackle me, can you?"

Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides and the presence of Li Polo, Valencia obviously did not dare to exert force. The game seemed very civilized and friendly at the beginning, and there was not much physical contact between the two sides.

But it is a football match after all. As the players gradually enter the state, the winning mentality engraved in their DNA is gradually aroused, and the scene becomes more and more lively.

In the 33rd minute, DePaul instigated a long pass from the left and hoisted the ball past Wimbledon's defense. Lee Polo, who had 91 speed, instantly completed the anti-offside game and faced his old friend, goalkeeper Shea with a kick.

Explosive cumshot!

Faced with his lightning speed, Shea had no time to save, and could only watch in stunned silence as the football roared towards the stands!

The goalkeeper even gave Lee Polo a thumbs up!

"Is this the style of a La Liga superstar? He really has superb shooting skills! I love it!"

Gu Jing

【Negative emotions from Lee Polo, 22!】

Li Polo was so angry that he smoothed his hair and raised his right hand towards Rodrigo DePaul:

"Young horseman, pass me the high ball!"

"Look at me beating this second-rate goalkeeper to death with a header!"

Xie's face changed drastically:

"You are not a human when you ride on a horse!"

【James Shea,5!】

Once Lee Polo's fighting spirit is aroused, it is almost an impossible task to escape unscathed from his header bombardment.

Sure enough, poor Xie A only lasted for 5 minutes before he was blasted open by Li Polo...

Li Polo even got into the goal immediately, picked up the football and ran back:

"One more!"

"The opponent is only a Championship team or a newly promoted team. Do you still have any shame if they only score one?"

Wimbledon players collectively experienced a wave of negative emotions!

Even Adelai on the sidelines couldn't help but complain to Cox:

"This little bastard, his teammates are all Spanish, why do he shout in English?"

Cox shrugged:

"You may have forgotten what this guy is best at!"

Valencia fans were a little surprised to find that Lee Polo, who scored two goals in the last 20 minutes of the first half, unexpectedly appeared on Wimbledon's forward line in the second half...

Some people even couldn't help but complain:

"Playing half a game for each team?"

"Does Lee Polo regard this game as a retirement performance?"

Then he saw Lee Poirot raise his hands and shout to his England teammates in Spanish:

"Brothers, pass the high ball to us!"

"Let the La Liga champions on the other side take a look, our crazy gang is not easy to mess with!"

On the opposite side, Parejo, DePaul, Mustafi... all of them turned black!

【Parejo,16】

【DePaul,8】
