The biggest fanatic in football

August 14th.

Although it is already 20:45 in the evening, the bright sunshine can still be seen in the sky over Barcelona...

For most of Spain, at this time, their nightlife has not even officially begun!

A large number of fans wearing classic red and blue jerseys are gathering at the Nou Camp. They wave scarves, team flags, as well as banners and posters, and flood into the football temple with high emotions.

A reporter from the front randomly stopped some fans for interviews:

"What do you want to say about the upcoming game?"

The fans shouted in unison:

"Barcelona are the champions!"

"Kill Valencia!"

Two fans even displayed a large poster on the spot, which was immediately captured by the broadcast cameras.

In this two-meter-high poster, Lee Polo, wearing the No. 10 jersey, is stepping on a football in high spirits. But opposite him, Lee Polo, wearing the No. 9 jersey, is crying and begging for mercy on his knees.

!

That's right, in the new season, Lee Polo will give up the No. 4 jersey he has worn for a year to the newcomer Van Dijk, while he "reluctantly" wears the No. 9 jersey that no one cares about.

Although he is nostalgic for the central defender position, but... Van Dijk Mustafi, with such a combination, he can't bear to steal his teammates' playing opportunities!

In this summer window, Neville, who lacks connections and resources in world football, is really unable to buy a decent forward. Lee Polo can only follow the general trend and reluctantly make a cameo.

"I want to see Messi beat Lee Polo!"

After mentally humiliating their opponents, the admiring Barcelona fans walked into the stadium laughing.

But their captain, Iniesta, was not so relaxed at the moment.

Although head coach Enrique showed confidence in the pre-match press conference,... everyone knows the atmosphere in the locker room.

In the four warm-up games before the season, Barcelona only won one victory. In addition, they were frantically rubbed 4:0 by Liverpool led by Klopp. The team is still far from its best...

In addition to poor condition, Barcelona's personnel are also not neat.

Neymar is still participating in the Olympics, and the Brazilian king vows to win the championship this time.

First goalkeeper Ter Stegen accidentally sprained his ligament in training three days ago and was unable to play in both rounds, leaving Bravo to continue to play.

But... what the entire European football world knows is that Manchester City has officially made an offer to Barcelona, ​​and Guardiola is confident in poaching Bravo.

After all, in the eyes of Guardiola, who has just coached the world's No. 1 goalkeeper Neuer for three years, Joe Hart, who played for Blue Moon for the New Year...can he also be considered a goalkeeper?

So, under the current circumstances, how can Bravo, who is already preparing to leave, devote 100% to the game?

In addition, left back Alba has gastroenteritis, and new players Umtiti and Gomez have just returned to the team because they participated in the European Cup final. In this way, a total of 5 main-level players will not be able to play in the first round.

Contest.

Among the starting 11, 5 are substitutes. Can they relax?

-

"Hey, guys, are you planning to annihilate us by rotating your lineup?"

Sure enough, in the player tunnel, Li Polo, who was at the back of the Valencia queue, shouted.

He looked at the second goalkeeper, Bravo, substitute defender Digne, and guest defender Vidal, and shouted angrily:

"Can I understand it this way, you think I am no threat as a striker? Just send some cats and dogs to freeze me?"

He gritted his teeth and added a little drama to himself:

"Since you humiliated me first, don't blame me for being cruel!"

[Negative sentiment from Bravo, 46!]

【Digne,20!】

【Vidal,38!】

Bravo, who is about to leave Barcelona, ​​is even more innocent:

【I don’t want to appear either!】

【It’s all the little lion’s fault!】

-

"Dip~~~"

The referee Jesus Hill Manzano blew the whistle and Messi passed the ball back, turned and inserted into the opponent's half.

He specifically glanced at Li Polo and found that his opponent was really obediently acting as a forward and did not retreat to participate in the defense.

Messi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:

[Thanks to Virgin Mary, in today’s game, I finally don’t have to listen to that guy’s nonsense! 】

[I would rather play one against five every time I dribble the ball than go one-on-one with that bastard!]

-

There is no such thing as quiet time, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

Mascherano is the one who carries the burden for Messi.

Watching his teammates send the ball across the center line, the Barcelona star met his opponent in this game.

"I heard that you were beaten to a pulp by Liverpool in the warm-up match?"

Li Polo came forward with a smile:

Grain Soap

"By the way, I remember you transferred from Liverpool, right?"

"How about it, can you tell me what happened at that time?"

"In order to transfer to Barcelona, ​​did you fake an injury and miss training, or pay out of your own pocket, like Cesc Fabregas and others?"

Mascherano glanced at him with a normal expression and responded calmly:

"People like you don't know how to respect others at all."

"You will never understand in your life that being able to play for Barcelona means a dream and everything to me."

Li Polo said "Ah" and winked at him:

"Why can't I understand? We are the same people."

"You will use all means to join the temple in your heart. Then I will do the same to win the game!"

Mascherano's expression finally changed in a distorted way:

"Are you worthy of competing with me?"

[Negative sentiment from Javier Mascherano, 33!]

-

"I don't know if it was affected by the disastrous defeat to Liverpool in the warm-up match. Barcelona was a little slow to enter the state today. On the contrary, Valencia's players ran more actively. Look at Barcelona's frontcourt cooperation this time, Busquets' direct pass...

The ball was accurately intercepted by Perez, and Valencia launched a counterattack!"

Before commentator Shen Fangjian had time to carefully analyze the starting lineups of both sides, his attention was attracted by the situation on the field:

"DePaul got rid of Rakitic's defense and sent a wide long pass! He wanted to go directly to..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Tianning next to him couldn't wait to shout out:

"Li Polo!"

"Lee Polo started instantly! Mascherano and Pique failed to cause offside! His speed was too fast! Pique has given up chasing!"

Pique only ran two steps before shaking his head helplessly.

His position was too far away, and even if he risked his life, he would not be able to catch up with Li Polo. He could only place his hopes on Mascherano and Bravo, who were closer.

Compared to Pique, Mascherano still has a chance.

Because they all know that Lee Polo, who was born as a central defender, is inherently deficient in foot skills. If you want to stop the ball comfortably for such a long-distance pass, it may not be possible to complete it in less than two seconds.

As long as Li Polo slows down a little, Brother Ma may be able to catch up!

Sure enough, Li Polo, who was about to break into the penalty area, turned his head to observe the trajectory of the pass and prepared to slow down to catch the ball.

Brother Ma's confidence surged, his legs burst out with amazing strength, and he jumped out like a jaguar!

[This is the disadvantage of switching from a central defender to a forward!]

[If it were Messi or Suarez, they would not need to stop the ball at all, but would shoot directly before the defender catches up!]

Seeing that Li Polo's speed had dropped to the lowest, Xiao Ma took another fierce step, and then stretched out his right foot from behind, preparing to complete a fatal interception!

[This position... has not yet entered the penalty area. Even if there is a foul, the most you will get is a yellow card, and you will never be awarded a penalty kick! 】

Mascherano, who had already expected everything, even anticipated Lee Polo's next annoyed expression:

[When the time comes...how should I ridicule him?]

"Bang!"

0.3 seconds later, Li Polo completed the action of stopping the ball before Mascherano stole the ball, but failed to avoid the Argentinian's flying tackle. He could only roll in the air and fell heavily.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area.

"drop!"

Referee Manzano quickly stepped forward, showed the yellow card directly to Mascherano who committed the foul, and then awarded the visiting team a well-positioned free kick.

Parejo and DePaul rushed over almost at the same time, but DePaul, who had just secured his main position, succumbed to Captain Pa's "power" and took a step back obediently.

Parejo picked up the football, glanced at Mascherano who was still lying on the ground, and couldn't help but frown:

"Time to wake up, man!"

But Mascherano still didn't respond, he just pressed his inner thigh tightly, and big drops of sweat oozed from his forehead.

I heard him gritting his back molars and using his other hand to circle twice in the air:

"Made, it's a strain!"

-

"Oh? Are Barcelona going to make a substitution?"

Shen Fangjian was still regretting that Li Polo had missed the opportunity, so the fourth official raised his sign.

Jia Tianning reacted faster:

"This is the power of Lee Polo! He just ran a few steps and caused a tragedy in Barcelona's defense!"

"Mascherano not only received a yellow card, but also strained his thigh muscle due to lack of preparation!"

"The only central defender in Barcelona who can play now... is Umtiti, who has just returned to the team!"

As soon as Umtiti came on the field, he saw Parejo's full-moon scimitar kick, which hit the dead center of the goal!

1:0!

The game only lasted 4 minutes and Valencia took the lead!
