The biggest fanatic in football

On December 6, the final round of the Champions League group stage begins at the same time.

Valencia faces Leverkusen's challenge at Mestalla.

Manchester City faces a life-and-death battle with Monaco at the Etihad.

Except for the Bat Legion, which has advanced early, the other three teams still have the possibility of qualifying, so they can only fight to the death.

These two duels were fierce battles from the first second, and there was no dull feeling at all.

Manchester City took the lead in scoring in the 28th minute through Sergio Aguero, and Monaco responded 15 minutes later through Falcao.

In the second half, the sides changed sides and Manchester City gradually gained the upper hand. De Bruyne and Silva passed shots to each other, expanding the score to 3:1.

At the most critical moment, Jardim once again pinned his hopes on Mbappe, and the French star indeed lived up to expectations. He created multiple killing opportunities in a row in 20 minutes, killing Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov,

The defense formed by Zabaleta was in disarray.

After Kolarov and Kompany both retired due to injuries, Monaco formed a siege with more and less. Fabinho and Mbappe each scored a goal and successfully equalized the score.

But Guardiola still had better luck. De Bruyne sent a wonderful assist in stoppage time, and Aguero scored a last-minute kill to escort Blue Moon into the knockout stage!

As for the other game, there isn't much to describe.

Leverkusen tried to attack aggressively, but they gave up 70% of the ball without even breaking through Valencia's midfield!

DePaul, Llorente, Parejo, Cancelo, and Neville used four strong players with both offense and defense to stop the "Pharmaceutical Factory" offensive!

Bernat, Van Dijk, Jones, and Barragan who are guarding the back can only make up for the leaks behind their teammates most of the time!

Relying on the strong defense of his teammates, the front duo got a lot of counterattack opportunities. Lee Polo scored a goal in the first and second half, and Feguli also successfully missed. Parejo also scored with a direct free kick, completely

Killed Leverkusen's illusions of promotion.

After 90 minutes of fighting, the two contests ended almost at the same time.

Valencia advanced to the knockout rounds with a six-game winning record.

Manchester City narrowly escaped at the last minute.

Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League with a one-point advantage and third place in the group.

Monaco, which is at the bottom, has to end this season's European war and focus all its energy on Ligue 1.

Paris is in danger!

-

As the Champions League group stage schedule comes to an end, all the places for the top 16 have been announced.

The eight teams at the top of the group are: Arsenal, Napoli, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, Leicester City, and Juventus.

The second one includes: Paris, Benfica, Tottenham, Manchester City, Bayern, Real Madrid, Porto, Sevilla.

Except for the Russian Super League champion Army, the other seven seeded teams all advanced. This also resulted in only Tottenham, a third-tier team, entering the top 16, while no fourth-tier team made a comeback.

In other words, these 16 teams are basically the traditional powerhouses in Europe. Except for Leicester City, there is no surprising dark horse.

The draw for the knockout rounds is scheduled for a week later, before Valencia plays a La Liga match.

Three days later, on December 10th.

Valencia plays away to Real Sociedad.

This team, nicknamed the "Royal Triad", has always been known for its tough and tenacious style. Even when facing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, it often causes headaches for its opponents.

Especially in their home stadium, it's like taking drugs.

For example, they first defeated Atletico Madrid 2:0 at home in the 11th round, and then tied with Barcelona 1:1 in the Nou Camp in the 13th round a week ago, making these two super teams go further and further on the road to catch up with Real Madrid.

——It is worth mentioning that among the top three teams in the Western Premier League, the only one that has an overwhelming advantage over Real Sociedad is Real Madrid.

As of the 14th round, Real Sociedad is temporarily ranked sixth in the standings, even beating Atletico Madrid by one point. It is indeed a tough opponent, at least much more difficult to deal with than Leverkusen.

In order to strengthen the defensive strength, Gary Neville continued to use the 442 tactic, with Li Polo and Rodrigo partnering up the front line, Zakaria, Perez, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Parejo forming the midfield, and the defense line

It’s still Bernat, Van Dijk, Jones, Barragan.

Figuly, who doesn't like to defend, and Gaya, Cancelo and DePaul, who are stronger in offense than defense, all sat on the bench.

Perhaps the rotation was too large, and the four midfielders played in a bit of confusion after the opening. Although they did a good job in pressing and defending, they failed to find a tacit understanding at the counterattack stage, and then encountered the opponent's tough pressing.

Karia and Bastian Schweinsteiger could only lose the ball continuously.

Neville frowned and was about to adjust his tactics when he saw Rodrigo and Lee Polo both retreating to participate in the pressing. Lee Polo even kicked the opponent's midfielder to rest, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.

Hatred on the pitch…

[Negative sentiments from Real Sociedad players and coaches, 748!]

[Negative emotions of home team fans at Anoeta Stadium, 3884!]

Lee Polo, who became the target of public criticism, received intense attention from the underworld in the next 20 minutes. He successively experienced stepping on football boots, stamping on his feet, sliding tackles from the side, throwing over the shoulders, hugging the waist... and... the black whistle at home.

!

Real Sociedad's scissor kick did not receive a verbal warning, but Lee Polo's subsequent verbal provocation caused the referee to give him a yellow card!

See you soon!

Lee Polo, a famous troll who has been in football for many years, was given a card for free speech for the first time!

Fortunately, Valencia still has the advantage overall. Even in this devilish away game, they always showed a strong offensive. Lee Polo and Bastian Schweinsteiger scored goals successively to lead the score to 2:0.

Enter the second half.

After 15 minutes, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Valencia continued to strengthen their offensive.

In the 53rd minute, Rodrigo sent a pass from the left. Lee Polo broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by the opponent. However, the referee determined that he had flopped!

"Are you sure?"

Li Polo, who had most of his shoulders exposed, laughed angrily.

But the referee touched his pocket with a serious face, and two yellows turned into red!

[The jersey is not torn, so what kind of foul is it?]

【You are jumping around so much, it must be a fake fall!】

Looking at Lee Polo who kept shaking his head, Gary Neville's heart sank on the sidelines.

Little Neville said with lingering fear:

"Fortunately we agreed to Real Madrid's decision to postpone the game!"

His elder brother was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted:

[If I had not agreed to Real Madrid’s request, I would have faced the BBC’s challenge in a week without Lee Polo! 】

[Understood, Real Sociedad, he is Real Madrid’s lackey! 】

With Lipolo off the field, the game became increasingly chaotic. Valencia, with one less player, continued to strengthen its defense, but still conceded consecutive goals at the last moment and was successfully tied by Real Sociedad.

2:2!

Valencia's 11 league games came to an abrupt end at this devil's home stadium!

After receiving the good news, the Real Madrid soldiers immediately ate three bowls of rice, and then defeated Deportivo La Coruna 3:2 at the Bernabeu, narrowing the point difference to 4 points.

Even Barcelona, ​​which had been lagging behind for a long time, came out with a hearty 3:0 victory, beating Osasuna, who was ranked last, with a strong air of resentment.

Valencia immediately submitted a complaint to La Liga officials, hoping to revoke Li Polo's red card, but the referee committee only gave a cold reply:

"The penalty is normal and the original verdict is upheld!"

They just had to add one more sentence:

"Please Valencia Club regulate the behavior of player No. 9!"

"He talks too much during the game!"
