Chapter 486 Christmas Schedule

Thanks to the emergence of Lee Polo, Chelsea completed the final victory at the last minute and did not let their winning streak stop.

Perhaps due to the bad weather, most teams had a very difficult time in the 16th round.

Arsenal drew 1:1 with Southampton away from home, while Liverpool also shook hands with its city rival Everton.

Only Tottenham achieved a 5:1 victory, erasing the decline in previous league rounds.

The one that has attracted the most attention this round is none other than the Manchester Derby.

Guardiola and Mourinho's "mutual mutual respect" attracted much attention in Manchester, completely overpowering Lee Poirot to win the Ballon d'Or...

In the snow, Manchester United, sitting at Old Trafford, was expected to take the score 0:0 into the locker room, but David Silva's long shot in the 43rd minute broke the deadlock.

But just 1 minute later, Manchester United retaliated. Rashford, the prince of the Red Devils, caught Delph's mistake in stopping the ball, rushed into the penalty area before everyone could react, and scored a single shot with a push to equalize the score!

Originally, Manchester United did hope to draw with Manchester City at home with their united defense, but an accident ruined Mourinho's overall plan.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Manchester City got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Silva passed the ball into the penalty area. Lukaku, who actively returned to defend, grabbed the spot and was about to clear the ball with a big kick, but unfortunately it hit his teammate's head and rebounded.

At the feet of Otamendi...

De Gea, who was caught off guard, could only close his eyes when faced with the shot that was so close!

2:1!

Looking at the desperate Mourinho on the sidelines, Lukaku, who had done bad things with good intentions, lowered his head.

【From now on...I will never be so active in defending again!】

After the 16th round of the league, Lee Polo took the time to have an in-depth conversation with Conte.

The main content of the conversation was, of course, tactics, formation, and the positioning of some players.

Lee Polo bluntly pointed out:

"The physical condition of Cahill and Cesc Fabregas is no longer enough for them to start every game.

However, Christensen and Zapacosta are only suitable for rotation when facing the weak players, and are not suitable for starting in strong dialogues.

Judging from the current personnel configuration, both Rudiger and Luiz should get more playing time."

He did not have a bias just because Fabregas was his number one "dog leg", but instead gave an extremely objective evaluation.

The 30-year-old Cesc Fabregas has gradually lost the agility and passion he had when he was captain of Arsenal. His physical confrontation ability has never been outstanding, and his foot skills have not reached the top level. Nowadays, he often takes advantage of his youth.

’s old capital.

Not to mention that because Cahill is the only English player in the first team, he should be taken special care of.

Professional football has always been about strength. If Christensen can perfectly replace Cahill, Lee Polo will definitely suggest to the head coach without hesitation that the old captain be kicked out of the starting position!

No team will always reserve a starting position for you just because you have been playing for the team long enough and your contribution is great enough!

Conte had to seriously consider Lipolo's opinion.

At least in the second day's training session, Lewis was re-entered the coaching team's inspection list.

Conte even had a straight-faced chat with Louis, which was considered to be the settlement of the old feud...

Louis now regrets it to death:

"If I had known that Boss Polo was so reliable, I should have given him a family heirloom when he got married two months ago!"

With less than two weeks left before the most important festival in the West, the weather in the UK has also entered the coldest period.

Even though the temperature in London has never dropped below 0 degrees, both players and coaches are a little unable to move forward on the training ground.

Conte and his coaching team are almost all Italians. Although this is their second winter at Chelsea, they can't help but shiver in the cold wind of England.

After taking a look at the schedule for the past half month, Conte finally made a decision:

"Starting from today until Christmas, all morning training sessions are cancelled!"

"Long live the coach!"

The jubilant players almost threw him into the sky!

No wonder Conte can make such a decision.

The four opponents after Chelsea are Huddersfield, Southampton, Brighton, Everton...

These four opponents really cannot pose a sufficient threat to Chelsea!

Instead of everyone shivering in the ice and snow in the early morning, it would be better to send a favor.

Combining kindness with power is the essence of management!

Perhaps it was Conte who found the knack of team management. Chelsea played smoothly in the following rounds of games.

On December 12, in the 17th round, facing Huddersfield at home, the Blues, who had rotated significantly, achieved a 6-0 victory in the ice and snow!

Li Polo completed a hat trick, and William, Pedro, and Fabregas made contributions respectively. In addition to one goal, Fabregas also provided four assists in one breath, and even stole Li Polo's

The honor of MVP of this game...

Holding the plastic MVP trophy, Fabregas' scalp felt numb!

[Did I take the wrong medicine? Why did I steal the spotlight from Brother Polo? 】

Four days later, in the 18th round, Chelsea returned to home and defeated 11th-ranked Southampton 3:0.

Today's Saints lineup is simply unprecedentedly weak. The most famous player to Chinese fans is probably Yoshida Maya...

But in the 34th minute of the first half, this central defender, who was having a good life, was hit with a headbutt by Lee Polo while competing for a header with Lee Polo in the 34th minute of the first half. He had to suffer a slight concussion on the spot.

Regretful end...

Because the force is reciprocal, although Lee Poirot did not have a concussion, he was obviously affected by the impact. His performance in the second half was mediocre. He only scored two goals in total and was replaced by Batshuayi early to rest.

On December 20, between league games, Chelsea also played a quarter-final match of the English League Cup.

Sitting at Stamford Bridge, their opponent is Bournemouth, who are ranked 14th in the standings and only 5 points away from the relegation zone.

Perhaps because he felt that his opponents had nothing to fear, Conte directly sent out a lineup that was half main force and half youth training.

Led by veteran captain Cahill, second goalkeeper Caballero, Luis, Cristo, Zapacosta, Moses, Remy, Golovin, Mount and Batshuayi all got the opportunity to start.

Partnering with Cahill and Lewis is actually Ethan Ampadu, who was born in 2000!

This little guy just turned 17!

Lipolo, Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and other absolute main players were wrapped in down jackets and sat on the bench admiring the performance of these substitute players.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, the young Ampadu received a yellow card in defense, causing Conte to take a breath of air.

Everyone is very worried that this youngster will make continuous mistakes due to excessive tension, resulting in the whole team being at a numerical disadvantage.

But what is gratifying is that Ampadu quickly adjusted his mentality and successfully found the game state with the help of his teammates. Later, he was even able to help Louis wipe his butt...

Moses scored the first goal in the 19th minute, and Chelsea steadily maintained this lead into the second half.

In the 78th minute, William, who came off the bench, assisted Remy to expand the score, and the 2:0 score remained until the end of the game.

Li Polo, who was sitting on the bench, curled his lips with some regret:

"Why is today's script not exciting at all?"

Fabregas, who was sitting next to him, looked up at the time on the big screen:

"It just so happens that the draw for the Champions League knockout rounds is about to begin."

Back in the locker room, an assistant coach had already turned on the TV screen.

UEFA's Director of Sport Marchetti is reading out the draw rules, and special guest Xavi Alonso is already in place.

Compared with the hour-long group stage draw ceremony, this time the process was much shorter. After only 10 minutes, the 16 teams found their opponents.

The Red Devils, Manchester United, were drawn against the defending champion Valencia. The biggest highlight was how Gary Neville faced his old club.

Blue Moon Manchester City got the biggest gift package - Swedish Super League champion Basel. Their city rivals couldn't help but mock them as "worthy of the power of money".

But Paris must be very unconvinced:

"I obviously have much more money than Manchester City, but why did I choose Liverpool?"

But they are not worried at all. They have Neymar with 220 million, Mbappe with 180 million, plus Cavani, Di Maria, Verratti, Lo Celso, Silva, Alves, Marchini

Os, Pastore and other superstars, they are fully confident of defeating Liverpool!

Tottenham drew Juventus, and Arsenal fans have suggested that their rivals in the same city buy return tickets in advance.

Real Madrid also got a good draw, Turkish Super League champion Besiktas.

The weakest player in the first group, Portuguese Super League champion Porto, was selected by Bundesliga hegemon Bayern.

"Wolf King" Totti selected Shakhtar Donetsk from the Ukrainian Super League for his team, Roma. Although his luck is not as good as Bayern, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, at least he still has the initiative to advance.

in hand.

The opponents left for Chelsea are already ready to emerge.

Last season's La Liga third place and Copa del Rey runner-up - Barcelona!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of heartfelt laughter erupted in the dressing room at Stamford Bridge.

Li Polo patted Fabregas hard on the back and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight:

"Ceske, you know what?

I dream of playing again at Camp Nou!"

Fabregas, who had already figured out his character a long time ago, felt bitter in his mouth:

【Finally...has this time arrived?】

[Is it Barcelona that I have been loyal to since childhood?

Or is it the big brother Polo whom I have just recognized for less than half a season?】
