The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 60 High School Graduation

“merry christmas!”

Like last year, Li Polo still spent Christmas in 2016 at Lisanna's house.

The old capitalist Bruce's attitude towards him was as enthusiastic as ever. He and three other men, Mike and Lee Polo, drank several bottles of good wine in the wine cabinet in one night.

After drinking to the fullest, the three of them put their arms around each other and called themselves brothers, almost bowing to the Christmas tree on the spot.

Lisanna's biological mother asked tentatively:

"Are you planning to get married this year?"

It feels a bit like Chinese parents urging marriage.

But their baby daughter just celebrated her 21st birthday a month ago...

During his stay in London, Lee Polo also took the time to go to Wimbledon Club and watch the Madden beat Reading 2:1 at the King's Lawn Stadium.

After the game, as a meritorious teammate, he had a cordial conversation with members of the coaching staff and old teammates. However, everyone was eager to go home and celebrate the festival with their loved ones and could not sit down for a dinner.

He was also accompanied by the club's general manager, Powell, and the managing director and vice president of the fans association, Mike Taylor, to see the location of the new stadium they selected.

The new stadium is located at the junction of Wimbledon and London City, and it is only a 20-minute drive into the city.

The surrounding area is somewhat desolate, with only a few scattered farmers. Within 2 kilometers, there is no building higher than 6 meters.

The efficiency of the British government is indeed too low. It took half a year for them to complete the preliminary approval procedures and issue the construction permit before Christmas.

"We have issued a tender notice and there are currently seven construction companies interested in bidding."

Powell took out the document:

"From a cost and efficiency perspective, local companies in England are the least cost-effective, and the project will not be completed until 2020 at the earliest..."

This is not surprising at all. The more economically developed a region is, the lower the efficiency of this kind of infrastructure construction tends to be.

Workers in England, as long as they work for six hours a day, they will clamor to drink tea after get off work, otherwise they will complain to the boss about mistreating workers...

Powell flipped through the bidding documents:

"There is also a Chinese company and an Indian company. Their efficiency is much higher and the construction period can be shortened by at least 40%."

Li Polo waved his hand:

“You don’t have to choose the Chinese one, but you must not choose the Indian one!”

He is very afraid of his old brothers in India and builds his new stadium into a world wonder!

When Real Madrid won the Club World Cup in Japan, Lee Polo also ended his winter break.

On January 1, 2017, the Valencia team ushered in the first training camp of the new year.

"If I had known that the Copa del Rey games would be so tight, we might as well have lost to Leganes."

Head coach Gary Neville joked, then slapped the schedule:

"In the next 10 days, we will play two Copa del Rey games against Celta Vigo. My request is very simple. Kill the suspense of promotion in the first round. Do you understand?"

Captain Parejo took the lead in applauding:

"clear!"

Neville waved his hand:

"As long as you complete your goals, I can give you a holiday in the second round!"

Although participating in the game can earn appearance fees and winning bonuses, for players who have already won the Copa del Rey once, the weight of this cup is no longer important.

On the contrary, the extra vacation greatly increased their motivation. Even after the training, many people took the initiative to stay and practice more.

After all, they have been resting for more than ten days in the last month. Most players have inevitably gained some weight and are now in urgent need of returning to their best condition.

Alves, Rodrygo, Gaya, DePaul and Zakaria even gathered around Lipolo, wanting to practice heading, shooting and passing with him. Even Bastian Schweinsteiger was willing to do so.

Serves as a defensive backdrop.

Feiguli, who had previously been unwilling to practice with Lipolo, stood in front of him openly this time:

"Hey, man, now that you've graduated from high school, I can teach you how to stop the ball while sprinting at high speed!"

DePaul sent a long pass. Feguli raised his head to observe and stretched his foot. The football seemed to hit his foot hard, but it did not rebound strongly. Instead, it fell lightly and obediently with his right foot, allowing him to continue.

Quickly dribble forward with the ball.

After the perfect demonstration, Feguli broke down the movements and pointed to his right foot to explain in detail:

"When stopping the ball, you must release the force in advance. Don't use too much force. Stop the ball in this area..."

Ball sense is something that is often innate.

As a professional player who has become a monk, it is not that Li Polo does not know these technical essentials, but on the one hand, he has been playing as a defender, and hard training of body and defense are the most important; on the other hand, it is undeniable that

Yes, he is not a talented player with a natural sense for the ball.

If there were no plug-ins and opportunities, he would only be able to play football in an amateur team for a few years, and then continue to screw screws in a factory...

After the special training, Li Polo did not return to his residence, but followed his teammates to a manor on the outskirts of Valencia.

Here, Valencia Club held a grand New Year's party.

Ms. Chen, the chairman of the Valencia Board of Directors, sent New Year's greetings to all club personnel on behalf of the management, and also delivered small gifts to everyone.

"In the past 2016, Valencia Club achieved unprecedented success, winning the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Super Cup.

This is a glorious moment for Valencia Club. Please allow me, on behalf of Mr. Lin, to express my most sincere gratitude to every coach, every staff member, and every player for their hard work..."

Thunderous applause, candlelight and lights complement each other, and the wine and night are intoxicating.

I don’t know whether it was because of the atmosphere or because he was drunk by the wine. Gary Neville said in public:

"Thank you Mr. Lin and Ms. Chen for their trust. In the next 2017, I will lead the team to achieve higher honors!"

Looking at the head coach whose face was slightly red, Li Polo curled his lips.

[A higher honor? Besides the Champions League trophy, what else is there? 】

【You have finished talking, what else can I say?】

“Your wife is awesome!”

"Your girlfriend is pretty good too!"

Next is the time for bragging among teammates.

Unfortunately, Lisanna still stayed in England to celebrate the New Year with her parents, and Lee Polo could only attend the club's reception alone.

But it doesn’t matter. Most of the players in Valencia’s team are born in the 90s, and there are many people around the same age as Lipolo, such as Gaya, Bernat, DePaul, Zakaria, and Barbosa.

, Munir, Tropi, Tuanzebe and others, it would not be too embarrassing for a group of singles to get together and brag about their beer.

Li Polo woke up and took a rare late nap. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already nine o'clock.

Fortunately, Spaniards generally wake up very late, and Valencia's training camp doesn't start until ten o'clock.

After slowly and leisurely washing up and eating two bites of breakfast in a hurry, when Lee Polo arrived at the Patna training base, there were still 5 minutes left before the gathering.

"A couple of kicks?"

Goalkeeper Alves, who had already started to warm up, threw the football in his hand.

Li Polo smiled and flicked the ball, then kicked the ball hard!

Alves didn't expect that he would be so decisive and have no reaction when facing the shot!

【Ding~】

A prompt sounded in Li Polo's mind.

Although half of the entire December was on vacation, I never slacked off in training!
