The biggest fanatic in football

Gaining a one-goal advantage in the first 14 minutes, Gary Neville finally did not hold Lee Porro accountable for leaving his post without permission.

But he didn't sit in the dugout for long.

Guardiola's forward-less formation does have something to it.

Although there is no powerful forward like Aguero, Manchester City's frontcourt offensive group with Silva and De Bruyne as the dual core once played like Spain at its peak.

Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, Gundogan, Nolito... When they passed the ball frequently in the midfield and frontcourt, the Valencia players couldn't touch the ball for several minutes!

It's a pity that both Gundogan and Nolito are new players this summer, and they have not yet fully formed a tacit understanding with other teammates. Moreover, De Bruyne is still a little short of the master level, otherwise Valencia's

The defense line has long been destroyed by them!

Of course, if Sterling's sense of smell in front of the goal was stronger, Diego Alves would have picked up the ball in the goal!

But even so, Valencia's lead did not last until halftime.

In the 37th minute, Valencia launched a positional offensive, but Manchester City's defense was very solid, and the restrictions on the two wings of the Bat Corps were in place. Neither Gaya nor Cancelo found a good starting pass.

If you get the chance, you can only send the ball to the striker through the ground.

Rodrigo made a fake move towards Zabaleta on the left for a long time, but was still unable to break through the experienced Argentine veteran. In the end, he had no choice but to pass the ball back to DePaul.

Also a member of the Argentine national team, De Paul was not sure of victory when facing Zabaleta. He took the football in a circle and finally found Li Polo who was retreating to support him.

As soon as Li Polo got the ball, Fernandinho pounced on him. Li Polo tried to break through on a whim, but he didn't expect that he just pushed the ball forward lightly and dodged the "flying bird"!

And it’s still impressive!

Seeing Fernandinho with his legs clamped and an angry look on his face, Polo Li felt happy!

【Excellence is so simple!】

[As long as you speed up to catch up with football, you can face Otamendi directly! 】

But as soon as Li Polo caught up with the ball, Otamendi came forward aggressively.

Although he has been playing as a forward for three months, Lee Polo, who was trying consecutive dribbles for the first time, still could not calmly handle the current situation.

The videos that the coaching staff had sent him suddenly came to mind:

"Messi's extraordinary highlights..."

"Suarez..."

"Neymar..."

"Azar..."

"C Luo..."

"Bell..."

He quickly checked it out and found that it was still Messi's Neymar Hazard's extraordinary style. He might never be able to learn it in his life!

Even with Cristiano Ronaldo's agility and ball sense when he was young, he couldn't touch it at all!

I can only copy Bell's extraordinary method!

So he moved the ball forward with his right foot, and his whole body instantly accelerated again!

In the face of absolute speed, any line of defense is as fragile as paper!

Sure enough, facing Li Polo's sudden outburst, Otamendi, who was completely unprepared, missed the kick and could only turn around hastily!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Polo just laughed four times and was completely stuck...

Just now, the force of the ball was a little stronger, and the football rolled directly to Bravo's feet!

With an expression of disbelief on his face, Bravo kicked the ball away!

Sterling penetrated Gaya's defense from the right, twisting and turning into Valencia's penalty area!

Ignoring De Bruyne who was outflanking him in the middle, Sterling shot resolutely with almost no angle!

The flustered Vizzo finally stretched out his foot to block the ball, but by some mistake, the football was blocked into his own goal!

1:1!

"Oh, no!"

Gary Neville threw his hands away in disappointment, glanced at Jones on the bench, and the balance in his heart finally tilted towards his young teammate.

[Can Weizo play as the main force? He can’t play!]

[Although it is in the process of retreating, as long as the position is stuck, Sterling will not be able to get up comfortably, right? 】

[If Jones can stay healthy, this main position should be given to him!]

If he knew that his main position was lost because of this own goal, Wei Zuo would definitely hate Lee Polo to death!

[What kind of head coach is this? Not only is he nepotistic, but he also bullies the weak and fears the strong!]

[It was obviously Lee Polo who lost the ball in the frontcourt, why should I be blamed?]

-

"Except for the mistake at the end, I was very satisfied with the first half as a whole."

After returning to the locker room, Neville first encouraged the players' performance:

"Manchester City's frontcourt players are very flexible in their movements. To be honest, I was dazzled off the field, so you need to concentrate more and maintain a high degree of cooperation and collaboration, otherwise you may fall into a hard battle..."

Volo pulled individual players aside to start a small fuss:

"Otamendi's frontal defensive ability has always been very strong. If you are not particularly sure, you should not try to pass others easily, okay?"

As a veteran assistant coach, Otamendi has also grown up step by step under his attention, so his advice is particularly weighty.

Li Poluo's eyes widened and he asked:

"You think I can't kick him?"

Volo was amused by his question:

"You are such a competitive fighting dog! Although your ball-handling skills have improved a lot this year, well, they are indeed very big, but they are still not up to the level of Messi and Neymar, right? Even at their level, they have passed

A 50% success rate is already pretty good!”

"If you miss too many opportunities, our defense will be completely passive!"

"Also...can you stay on the front line for me and stop running around all over the field!"

-

Lipolo, who was criticized a lot, did become much better in the second half. His opponents were only Otamendi, Stones, and midfielder Fernandinho who returned to defense.

But Lee Polo soon noticed.

These three defenders of Manchester City have almost always maintained a close distance, locking themselves in a triangular area. Once he has a chance to get the ball, he will immediately form a situation surrounded on three sides!

Li Polo, who had his chances ruined twice in a row, could only curl his lips and turned to look at Volo on the sidelines:

"Coach, you asked me to stand in front of you. What's the difference between now and going to jail?"

-

Although Li Polo complained, there was always an opportunity.

In the 63rd minute, Nolito made a pass from the left, Van Dijk made a precise header to clear the ball, Parejo sent a direct pass from the right, and Fegulli rushed out of the half to start Valencia's quick counterattack.

Kolarov, who had been engaged in an offensive and defensive battle with Fei Tianwang, had already shown signs of declining physical fitness at this time. He was eaten alive by Fei Guli and watched helplessly as his opponent broke through and made a pass!

Lee Polo, who was about to leave his position before, had already outflanked the ball at full speed. With the help of his extreme speed, he rushed into the penalty area before Stones and Otamendi, and accurately grabbed the landing point of the pass, using his forehead.

The left side rubs the ball towards the goal!

Bravo reacted very quickly this time, dropped his center of gravity quickly, and performed a goal-line split at the near post!

As a goalkeeper, he will of course focus on studying the shooting habits of the opponent's main shooter. When preparing for the game, he has studied Li Polo's header habits countless times!

What's more... just over a month ago, he represented Barcelona and played two rounds of the Super Cup with Valencia!

He has already memorized Lee Polo's shooting method!

With a "boom" sound, Li Polo's header hit his right knee and bounced back almost along the same trajectory.

Li Polo, who had just landed, immediately jumped up again and hit the ball hard to the left!

Bravo, who had just performed the splits, couldn't stand up immediately. He could only maintain a crouching position and watch the football hit him from the side!

2:1!

[Negative sentiment from Bravo, 18!]

【Otamendi,25】

【Stones,12】

【Guardiola, 9!】

Lee Polo finally scored a goal!

Valencia takes the lead again!
