The biggest fanatic in football

“La Liga is so dark!”

Li Polo, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, couldn't help but complain.

Lisanna, who was videotaping with her best friend Mira, comforted her without looking back:

"Just think of it as a week's rest, and you can stay with me, okay?"

Li Polo looked at his increasingly thin body:

"If I continue to rest, my shooting skills will break through again!"

Not understanding his connotation, Lisanna pointed the phone camera at her small waist:

"Mila, I feel like I have lost weight again recently! Look at my waist, there is a vest line!"

An envious voice came from the phone:

"Really, how do you do it? Do you work out every day? Are you so happy to have a boyfriend who is a football player?"

Lisanna proudly taught her experience to her best friend:

"Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, eat barbecue, eat seafood, drink milk tea, beer, and Coke, go shopping, watch TV dramas, skin care, beautify, and then continue to sleep..."

Mira was silent for a while, and finally asked a question:

"Can you tell me more about your sleep?"

Since Real Madrid was going to play in the Club World Cup, Valencia had a bye in the 16th round of the league, so Neville simply gave everyone a five-day holiday.

If there was not a King's Cup match ten days later, Valencia could have taken the holiday directly until after Christmas, which would be equivalent to a three-week holiday, which is a rare occurrence for professional players!

Especially the Premier League players are so jealous that their eyes will burst!

"Guys, look at the Champions League draw!"

Li Polo was about to get up for lunch when he received a message from assistant coach Volo in the group.

He slapped his head and changed the channel on the TV.

Ceferin, the president of UEFA, was introducing the rules of the draw.

It is nothing more than three principles: avoidance in the same group, avoidance in the same football association, and Russia-Ukraine avoidance. And since there is no Russian-Ukrainian team in the top 16 this year, there are even fewer situations where avoidance is needed.

As the draw began, the Valencia chat group gradually became lively, especially this guy Zakaria, who was simply restless for a moment.

Zakaria:

"I want to play Bayern!"

“Paris is not bad!”

"Don't be drawn against weak teams like Benfica and Porto!"

"Playing against a weak team doesn't reflect our strength at all!"

Gary Neville suddenly said:

"If I win the lottery, I originally wanted you to start."

"..."

After ten seconds of silence, Zakaria said again:

“I love the Portuguese Super League team!”

Although Li Polo's memory is no longer clear, the results of this draw do not seem to be much different from history.

Since the second group includes Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​and Paris, the top five teams, no matter how we draw, a strong showdown is inevitable.

Arsenal, who finally got first place in Group A, was given to their old enemy Bayern. The Bundesliga hegemony seemed to have been deliberately snatched to the top spot in the group by Atletico Madrid, just to wait for Arsenal to meet again.

Naples, first in Group B, met Real Madrid, the second strongest player in the group, and their fate was almost exactly the same as Arsenal's.

Atletico Madrid, first in Group D, met Manchester City on a narrow road, and Guardiola once again faced a strong challenge from a La Liga team.

Barcelona, ​​which topped Group E, was drawn against Paris Saint-Germain, becoming the most anticipated matchup in the group stage.

Dortmund, the top team in Group F, faced Benfica, and it didn't seem like the suspense was too great.

Leicester City and Sevilla, who are first in Group G, form a duel that no one cares about. It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

Juventus, who ranked first in Group H, was drawn against Porto, with a 100% walk game.

As for Valencia, who are first in Group C, the only choice left for them is Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League.

Regarding this opponent, professional commentator Gary Neville gave his own evaluation very accurately:

"We pay great attention to advancing from the wing, passing the ball quickly on the ground, running actively in the midfield, and the forwards are good at seizing opportunities."

Neville Jr. highlighted several key players:

"Forward Kane, midfielder Eriksen, Alli, full-back Walker, center back Vertonghen, Alderweireld."

Volo added some reference data:

"They ranked third in the Premier League last season and are currently ranked fifth. But they were able to defeat Manchester City 2:0 at home and draw 1:1 away from Liverpool and Arsenal. Their strength should not be underestimated."

The players expressed:

"When we finish our vacation, we will study this opponent seriously."

Zakaria asked weakly:

"This Tottenham...is it considered a belly?"

Less than 10 hours before the UEFA Champions League knockout draw ended, "France Football" magazine announced the final winner of the 2016 Ballon d'Or.

There is not much suspense. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won the Champions League, European Cup, and European Super Cup as an absolute core player, won the fourth Ballon d'Or in his life, second only to Messi with five goals in football history.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored an absolutely high score of 715 points. Messi, who ranked second, only had 258 points, barely one-third of Cristiano Ronaldo's.

Griezmann ranked third with 178 points thanks to his double runner-up finish in the Champions League and European Cup.

After all, this is the year of the European Cup, and European stars have a natural advantage in getting votes.

Fourth-placed Suarez scored 99 points with La Liga and Europe's double golden boot.

Although he has three collective honors: La Liga championship, Spanish Copa del Rey championship, and Spanish Super Cup championship, Li Polo, who did not participate in the European Cup at all, only ranked fifth with 87 points.

Li Poluo should be satisfied.

After that came Neymar, Bale, Mahrez, Vardy, Buffon, Pepe, Aubameyang, Ibrahimovic and other players.

A year ago he was a defender for the English second division team, and a year later he has become a top superstar in La Liga, easily earning tens of millions of euros a year.

After all, no award is completely fair. When scoring, the judges will inevitably favor players with more seniority, better statistics, and more honors.

Li Polo's jumping speed is really too fast!

Think about it again, Bayern's top striker Lewandowski is not as good as Lee Polo. He only scored a pitiful 3 points...

Three points are three points. Even if he wins the Bundesliga, the German Cup, and the German Super Cup, even if he wins the Bundesliga and the German Cup, even if he leads Poland to the quarterfinals of the European Cup for the first time, there is no right.

There will be no impact on the judges’ scores.

Benzema, who is also a superstar, was affected by various negative news. He was permanently expelled from the French team, which obviously affected the ratings of French magazines. In the end, he did not even get 1 point...

On December 22, Valencia, which ended its vacation, welcomed its last opponent in 2016 at home.

They will play Leganes in the second leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey at the Mestalla Stadium.

The score of 3:1 in the first round had already made the second round meaningless, not to mention that the Bat Corps still rotated the lineup in that game.

After recuperating for 11 days, Valencia, with its main force at full strength, did not give its opponents any chance. Lee Polo scored a hat-trick, Rodrigo, DePaul, and Van Dijk successively scored, a clean 6:

0, sweep the opponent out!

Looking at the energetic players, Gary Neville also announced with a cheerful face:

"Wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance!"

“See you in 2017!”

The week-long winter break has begun!
