The biggest fanatic in football

November 2nd.

The entire Manchester City squad arrives in Valencia.

At the pre-match press conference, Guardiola looked quite solemn, answered a few questions absentmindedly, and ended his speech hastily with Fernandinho.

Gary Neville had it much easier:

"This is our home court and we have indeed taken greater initiative. We look forward to playing a wonderful game at Mestalla tomorrow!"

Lee Polo is more relaxed:

"I only want to say two things:

First, my performance in the last round of the league was very poor. I hope I can show my full strength in tomorrow's game.

Second, I am happy to keep the suspense of second place in the group until the last round of competition!"

When Guardiola and Asuka heard this, their faces turned black as coal!

【Is this guy so arrogant? 】

[We, Manchester City, have been the strongest team in the Premier League in recent years!]

[No matter how miserable it is, it won’t compete with the French Ligue 1 team for second place, right? 】

But they had no way to refute.

Because in the first round of the group stage, they unexpectedly lost to Monaco!

If there is no way to win this game, Manchester City will lose the initiative in advancing!

At that time, we can really only hope to beat Monaco in the sixth round to avoid elimination!

[Negative sentiment from Guardiola, 74!]

-

One day later, the Mestalla Stadium faced a challenge from a strong enemy.

Looking at the starting lineup announced by Manchester City only an hour in advance, Valencia's coaching team was a little panicked.

"Aguero starts!"

cried little Neville:

"Guardiola gave up on the strikerless formation?"

Big Neville rubbed his chin noncommittally:

"It doesn't matter because we have adjusted."

Compared with the third round match, Manchester City's lineup has seen two changes. One is Caballero replacing Bravo who was suspended due to a red card, and the other is reactivating the leading forward Aguero.

As for Valencia, 4 positions were changed. Fegulli was hidden in this game. The one who appeared at the right winger position was Cancelo who was supposed to play as a defender, and behind him was Barragan.

.

In addition, the injured Gaya was replaced by Bernat, and Vezzo, who never met the coach's requirements, was pushed to the bench by Jones.

Compared with the lineup in the first round, Bernat and Barragan can provide stronger defensive capabilities, and in terms of forward assists, Bernat’s speed and propulsion ability are not inferior to Gaya, and he has another advantage.

:I don’t really like shooting by myself!

"We meet again, man!"

In the players tunnel, Otamendi couldn't help but frowned when he saw Lipolo's cheerful appearance.

This is Valencia's home ground, and Guardiola can't make the security guards obey his orders!

"I will definitely beat you to death today!"

[Negative sentiment from Otamendi, 74!]

[Go find Stones, you bastard!]

-

Due to his position, it was striker Sergio Aguero who talked to Lipolo the most.

"Should you thank me?"

Hearing Li Polo's first words, Akun was a little confused.

Just listen to Li Polo's detailed analysis for him:

"If we hadn't won the first round, Guardiola might not have given up on his forward-less formation. How could you possibly return to the starting lineup?"

Aguero couldn't help but fall into silence.

Of course he also knew in his heart that the new head coach, from the first day of coaching, was dissatisfied with him...

In the previous rounds of games, I was clearly very capable, but I could only act as a spectator on the bench!

It is said that Guardiola advocates a pass-and-control style of play, but Aguero, as a well-established South American player, a close teammate who played with Messi since childhood, and the biological father of the grandson of football champion Maradona,

How could it be possible without foot skills?

At least...it can make the white No. 9 on the opposite side kneel down and call grandpa!

"By the way, since you know that Guardiola is not prepared to reuse you, why don't you transfer and leave as soon as possible?"

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Li Poluo finally took out his deadly weapon:

"But it's understandable. There's no need to train or compete. You can make a lot of money every day with your eyes closed. Who wouldn't want to live like this!"

A blue vein slowly arched up on Aguero's forehead.

I haven't heard such mocking remarks for many years.

When he left Atletico Madrid and joined Manchester City, the entire public opinion was in this tone!

"I gave up my entire career for money!"

After many years, he heard such comments again. Although he had helped Manchester City win the league championship, Aguero still could not contain the waves in his heart.

【Negative emotions from Aguero, 29!】

But Lee Polo's attack was not over yet:

"Then let's talk about the national team?"

"Aren't you and Messi good friends? Why can't you go all out to help him win a championship in the national team competition?

Watching him come in and out of the national team, are you indifferent?

You're not the undercover agent sent by Ronaldo to Argentina, are you?"

Aguero's hair is about to explode!

He finally understood the warnings of the coaching team and teammates:

"Don't talk to that No. 9!"

[I know clearly that what he said is meaningless rubbish, but why can’t I help being so angry?!]

【Aguero, 74!】

-

"Dip~~~"

The referee's whistle announced the official start of the game.

Aguero took a deep breath and could finally be quiet for a while.

But as soon as he penetrated into the opponent's half, he encountered a solid wall appearing in front of him.

Looking at his puzzled opponent, Li Polo smiled lightly:

"I, am the midfielder today!"

【Aguero,114!】

-

As he had long expected that Guardiola was bound to launch a more violent offensive, Gary Neville directly arranged his strongest shield in the midfield area to maximize the defensive strength of the midfielder!

With De Paul, Perez, Parejo, and Li Polo who is ready to support, Manchester City wants to have smooth passing and control cooperation in the frontcourt, but they will face obstacles beyond imagination!

The first one to become active was Sterling, the British Emperor. He first made a tentative attack on Barragan, and then launched an offensive towards Bernat. In the end, he was knocked to the ground by a sliding shovel from Phil Jones...

…

As a Manchester City player produced by Liverpool, it is not surprising at all that he was attacked head-on by Manchester United players!

Just 3 minutes later, Fernandinho also used a flying shovel to stop Figuri's inward attack, which was regarded as a retaliation for Valencia.

The referee only gave verbal warnings for these two fouls without any intention of taking out cards.

But in the 12th minute, Sterling stumbled and fell during a one-on-one duel with Jones, but the referee rushed to the edge of the penalty area without hesitation and gave the Manchester City winger a yellow card!

"Your flopping is too fake, baby!"

Jones, who was frightened and nervous to the point of blushing and thick-necked 10 seconds ago, now laughed confidently and boldly.

Li Polo bent down and stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and pulled up the aggrieved Si Baobao:

"It's okay, I'll teach you later."

In the 15th minute, Rodrigo launched a through ball from the left, and Lee Polo rushed diagonally into the penalty area, and then collided with Otamendi!

But Lee Polo touched the football with his toe at the last moment!

"drop!"

The sharp whistle sounded instantly, and the referee pointed firmly at the 12-yard mark!

Yellow card, penalty kick!

Li Polo patted the grass clippings on his butt, moved his arms, and then slowly stood up.

Then he winked at Sterling not far away:

"Have you learned it, happy boy?"

[Negative sentiment from Sterling, 66!]

【Otamendi,77!】
