The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 31 I want to celebrate!

October 1st.

Flights from Madrid land at Valencia's airport.

Simeone, who had just defeated Bayern Munich three days ago, appeared at the pre-match press conference in high spirits.

"It is a pity that two of our players, Augusto and Jimenez, suffered serious injuries last week. I hope they can recover as soon as possible."

He first prayed for the injured son and showed his humanistic care, and then brought the topic to tomorrow's game:

"Although the head coach has been changed and several blockbuster transfers have taken place, Valencia's strength this season has not been greatly affected and has even become stronger.

After six rounds of the league, they lead the standings with an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 1 draw, which is enough to illustrate this fact.

However, our team has also performed very well recently. We have not lost a game in six league rounds. We also won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, and defeated top giants like Bayern Munich. The team is in the best moment...

A reporter specifically asked:

"Griezmann has missed three penalty kicks recently. Would you consider replacing the team's first penalty kicker?"

Glancing at his beloved general sitting next to him, Simeone shrugged:

"Why change? Even Maradona, Messi, or Platini will miss penalty kicks. I fully believe in Antoine's ability."

——Antoine Griezmann, good impressions of you, 1!

After sending the visiting team general off the stage, Neville and Lee Polo sat down one on the other.

"Diego and I are old acquaintances. We played together in the national team more than ten years ago."

Neville speaks in a nostalgic style.

But Simeone curled his lips secretly and was very disdainful of his polite words.

[What a bullshit old acquaintance!

What kind of relationship does an Argentinian man have with you British people?]

He knows very well that his most famous moment in the national team was when Argentina defeated England in the 1998 World Cup, knocking off the then-famous "heartthrob" Beckham! He almost lost

Beckham becomes the historical sinner of the Three Lions!

At that time, Simeone also became famous in one battle and became a universally recognized "football villain" and a "public enemy of all Britain"!

Just listen to Neville's words of appreciation one after another:

"After Diego coached Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid quickly became the favorite to win the league from a mid-range team, and successfully reached the Champions League finals twice. Such results are something that even many traditional giants cannot achieve."

Simone shrugged and sneered:

[It is indeed much better than your old club!]

[Manchester United will only play in the Europa League this season, right?]

As a literary giant of the generation, Neville is much more comfortable in front of the media than Nuno Santo.

He first reminisced about his youthful years with Simeone, then praised Atletico Madrid's outstanding performance in recent years, and then frankly admitted that he was still a rookie and still needed to study hard.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that it turned to tomorrow's game:

"Of course this game is not easy to play. Atletico Madrid is the most difficult opponent in the entire league, even more difficult to play than Real Madrid and Barcelona..."

He suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

Because he discovered that the gazes of reporters in the audience had suddenly separated from him!

The eyes of those reporters seemed to be staring at a location two meters away from them!

Neville couldn't help but glance to the left.

I saw Li Poluo taking out the white paper on the table and writing and drawing happily, even singing a song...

【Negativity from Gary Neville, 5!】

Seeing this prompt message, Lee Polo woke up from his creation.

He raised his head and found everyone staring at him.

Dozens of pairs of curious eyes and dozens of sparkling lenses were all focused on him in an instant:

"What are you doing, Polo?"

Lee Polo, who was caught red-handed, was not too embarrassed, but openly showed off his creative achievements:

"If you want to see it, let's enjoy it together!"

The camera immediately zoomed in.

I saw little match figures drawn on the white paper in his hand. Some were talking on the phone, some were gesturing with submachine guns, some were kissing the back of their hands, and some were kicking the corner flagpole, sliding on their knees, and showing love.

Somersaulting, shouting, showing the jersey...

Simeone's sitting position was a bit off, and since he was nearly fifty years old, his eyesight was not very good, but Griezmann next to him couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Li Polo smiled "hehe":

"I was thinking, what should I do to celebrate after I score tomorrow?"

Gu Yao

"If it's convenient for you, you can also help me with my advice!"

There was a sudden commotion among reporters outside the court.

Just hearing a "bang", Simeone and Griezmann slammed the door and left!

[Negative emotions from Griezmann, 77!]

【Simone, 111!】

October 2nd, in the evening.

The game doesn't start until 10 minutes, but the Mestalla stadium is already full.

"Huh? This year's golf market is much better than last year!"

In the box, Valencia's big boss Peter Lin glanced at the crowded stands and nodded with satisfaction.

Club Chairman Chen Lifen lost no time in reporting on the work:

“This season, the sales of membership packages increased by more than 30% year-on-year, and the total amount of commercial sponsorship increased by 160% (mainly because we couldn’t even find a chest sponsor last season). In addition, thanks to our transfer work in the summer

, the club’s financial situation is getting healthier..."

Paco and Gomez were packaged away for more than 70 million, and Mustafi was sold for 45 million, plus the transfer fees of Negredo, Fuego, Piatti, Matthew Ryan and other players.

Rencia has made a total of more than 150 million euros from selling people!

Even after deducting the transfer fees of Van Dijk, Llorente, Bernat and others, they can still earn a net profit of 100 million!

La Liga Copa del Rey double crown, Champions League quarter-finals, tickets, bonuses, jersey sales, peripheral merchandise, TV broadcast sharing... in total, it has brought a huge revenue of nearly 200 million to the club's finances!

A year later, the club also signed the most expensive chest advertising sponsor in team history, as well as a series of peripheral sponsorships - for example, Mercedes-Benz also became their sponsoring partner.

Under these favorable conditions, can the financial situation... be unhealthy?

In the players' tunnel, Li Polo was brewing emotions, but someone found him before he could.

Standing in front of him was Atletico Madrid captain Gabi.

The midfielder stretched out his finger, touched Li Polo's chest, and warned him word for word:

"In this game, please be more honest!"

Li Polo couldn't help laughing!

【You asked for this!】

[I haven’t gone to find you yet, but you took the initiative to send me to my door? 】

[If I don’t fight back, I’ll be really sorry for you!]

Li Boluopi looked at Atletico Madrid's captain with a smile:

"I really want to see what you can do to make me be honest!"

He raised his left foot, revealing the sharp spikes:

"I specially changed my spikes for this competition!"

Gabby's lips trembled with anger.

【Negative emotions from Gabby, 88!】

Seeing his livid expression, Li Polo spread his hands:

"You are already in your thirties, don't be as competitive as young people. Wouldn't it be better to sit on the bench and cheer them on? What if I accidentally kick your legs and hurt them?"

I’m going to retire on the spot!”

Gabby's shoulders shook.

【Negative emotions, 222!】

Li Polo finally made one more stab:

"However, I will definitely go to the hospital to visit you as soon as possible, and... I will also give you a state-of-the-art wheelchair!"

Gabby bit her lip until it bled!

【Negative emotions, 444!】

I just heard him say this harshly:

"Just wait for me!"

"See you on the field!"

Looking at his hurriedly leaving figure, Lee Polo has not yet let go of the Atletico Madrid captain:

"Come on! I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the 90 minutes!"
