The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 40 An opponent 4,000 kilometers away

"Drip, drip, drip"

In the last few minutes, Hazard also performed a crazy pass by three people, but the shot he was determined to win was blocked by Maguire. The football did not even fly past the penalty area...

Maguire, who was ruthlessly played by Lee Polo again and again, turned into an unbreakable steel wall in the last 8 minutes, allowing Hazard to return without success again and again!

The score of 5 remained until the end. With the momentum of three consecutive wins, Chelsea rose to third place in the standings with 9 points, second only to Manchester United and Burnley who both had 10 points.

At the same time, Chelsea also topped the entire Premier League with 19 goals in 4 games. Manchester United, who ranked second, scored 5 fewer goals than them.

And Lee Polo...he scored 5 goals, 4 goals, and 4 goals respectively in the 3 games he played.

13 goals in 3 games, an average of 433 goals per game!

The entire Premier League couldn't help but tremble!

[What is the most valuable goal in the Premier League?]

[He averaged less than 2 goals per game in La Liga, how come he doubled it in the Premier League? 】

The other 19 teams reached a tacit understanding on this day.

[Li Boluo Surrounding Network], this is accomplished!

Their biggest goal is not to prevent Chelsea from winning, but to show Lee Polo how cruel the Premier League is!

You can't expect to maintain an efficiency of 4 goals per game for an entire season!

At most... at most the same 2 goals per game as last season!

This is the final bottom line of the Premier League!

"The recent schedule...is a little bit unfriendly!"

After playing against Leicester City, Chelsea's players did not get 24 hours of rest as usual, but quickly regrouped for training.

Assistant coach Alexio looked at the schedule and said to everyone:

"Tomorrow we will go to Azerbaijan to prepare for the first Champions League game of the season."

Conte, who was standing nearby, whistled:

"Azerbaijan...does anyone know about this country?"

Almost everyone smiled and shook their heads.

Alexio shrugged his shoulders and used the information he just searched to teach everyone about geography:

"Azerbaijan is located in the southeast of Transcaucasus, with Armenia to the west, Yinlang and Turkey to the south, Russia to the north, the Caspian Sea to the east, and Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan across the sea. It has a population of 9.8 million..."

The one whose hometown is closest to Azerbaijan is Russian midfielder Golovin. He is the only player in the Chelsea first team who knows Azerbaijan.

His English was not very good, so he asked with some difficulty:

"Isn't that an Asian country? Why can it play in the Champions League?"

As we all know, most football players and coaches do not have high academic qualifications. Regarding his question, Alessio didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

On the contrary, other players in the Chelsea team were not surprised at all.

The experienced vice-captain Cesar Azpilicueta answered him on behalf of the coach:

"This is normal. The Asian Football Confederation can also apply to join UEFA. Two years ago, we played an away game in Israel. What was the name of that team? Does anyone remember it?"

Only Remy raised his hand:

"It seems... Maccabi Tel Aviv, I was there for that game."

Azar looked at him with some fear:

[This undercover agent of Lee Polo...has such a good memory!]

Li Polo also showed off his rich geographical knowledge:

"If I remember correctly, Kazakhstan has also joined UEFA. They are much further than Azerbaijan..."

Alexio nodded:

"Azerbaijan is about 2,500 miles, or 4,000 kilometers, from London, and a direct flight takes six hours, so we won't have much training time tomorrow and will spend almost the entire afternoon on the plane."

He took another look at the schedule:

"After playing this game, we have to face Arsenal again on the weekend, and in the next weekend's league, we have to play Tottenham, and then there is the League Cup game. Overall, from September 11 to 20

, we will play four games within these 10 days..."

Upon hearing this schedule, the meeting room suddenly burst into mourning.

Only physical freaks like Lee Poirot and Kanter didn't react at all.

Fabregas, who has average physical fitness, and Hazard, who has just returned from injury, can't help shaking his legs under the table!

However, substitute players such as Caballero, Remy, Batshuayin, Golovin, Zapacosta, Criscito and Christensen obviously have some expectations.

Although Chelsea's first team is said to have 27 players, nearly one-third are young players promoted from the youth training team, such as Mount, Anderson, Tomori, and even Odoyin who was born in 2000.

There is no way, Chelsea has always been a "multi-national coalition", with only Lee Polo and Cahill in the main lineup.

With the strength of these youth training young players, they are obviously not enough to occupy a place in the first team. The reason why they can appear in the squad is mostly just to complete the household registration policy stipulated by the Football Association and sign up to make up for it...

After the players finished complaining, Conte finally spoke:

"Playing 4 games in a row in 10 days is probably unbearable even for an Iron Man. What's more, we just finished playing the national team game last week, and three weeks later it's a new round of national team game day..."

He paused for a moment before announcing his decision:

"So...in the first Champions League group stage, I won't bring too many main players."

The atmosphere in the conference room became slightly quieter, and the players had different expressions on their faces.

Conte had a panoramic view of their expressions, and then announced the 18-man roster that will accompany the team:

"Caballero, Eduardo, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Cristo, Zapacosta, Tomori, Golovin, Kante, Remy, Moses,

Scott, Batshuayin, Mount, Pedro, Anderson, Hazard..."

Many main players, including Courtois, Cahill, Luis, Alonso, Fabregas and Willian, have been excluded from the list.

Li Polo immediately stood up:

"Coach, my physical fitness is fully capable of continuous fighting. Even if I play for 90 minutes in every game, there is no problem for me!"

Batshuayin, Anderson, Hazard, and even Remy... these players immediately wanted to cover his mouth!

【No! Brother, you need to rest too!】

Conte keenly read the micro-expressions of these players.

He smiled and nodded to Li Polo:

"Of course I know that you are the number one physical maniac in our team. Even Kanter is inferior to you in this regard, but... aren't you going to get married soon? I just want you to spend more time.

Come to accompany the bride and prepare for the wedding."

It’s hard to believe that this head coach, who looks like a fool, has thought very carefully:

"That way, you can give it your all for the Arsenal vs. Tottenham game!"

Li Polo hesitated for three seconds and finally agreed to the coach's arrangement.

This reason is too good.

Li Polo really couldn't refuse.

As an affectionate man who openly took time off to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday, there was no way he could tell the head coach:

"What kind of wedding are you holding! Let Lisanna worry about it alone!"

"Nothing is more important than massacring weak teams in the Champions League!"

Not only that, he also had to express his gratitude to Conte for his thoughtfulness:

"I'll save a seat for you on my wedding day!"

Then he looked at Hazard and other teammates, showing a gentle smile:

"Guys, have a good time."

"I'm in London, waiting for you to share the joy of victory!"

Azar couldn't help but swallowed again.

He could already predict it.

If this away trip fails to win, or even the win is not exciting enough, then it will be difficult for him to keep his position as an important partner in Lee Polo's mind!

【I fought hard for this position!】
