The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 505 Let’s turn against each other!

The day after the game, February 13, Conte gave everyone a day off.

It was raining continuously in London that day, and it was a bit chilly outside.

This is just an ordinary evening.

Li Polo could only watch TV with Lisanna in his mansion.

Lisanna, who was seven and a half months pregnant, had a belly that was bulging day by day and could occasionally feel obvious fetal movements.

This sentence means that Li Poluo was completely abstinent for more than a month.

Every time he saw the four slender and round legs of Lisanna and Mira, he couldn't help but feel a rush of heat.

So he dove into the swimming pool at home, and there was a crazy dog ​​scratching!

He can't wait to be released now! -

While Lee Polo was exerting his strength in the water, the first round of the Champions League knockout rounds was already underway.

Manchester City, who played first, swept Swiss champion Basel 4:0 away from home, almost halfway into the top eight.

Liverpool also had a good start. Facing Neymar, the most valuable player in football, Mane scored a hat-trick at Anfield and gave Paris a 4:1 victory!

In contrast to their ease, another Premier League team, Tottenham, encountered a strong opponent at the Allianz Arena in Turin.

Higuain scored twice in 10 minutes, giving Tottenham a blow, but Pochettino did not give up and launched a fierce attack in the next 80 minutes. Finally, relying on the goals of Kane and Eriksen, he won a game.

The 2:2 draw left the suspense in the second round.

The situation worse than Tottenham is the Red Devils Manchester United.

Mourinho was in a tough battle in Valencia. He did not expect that the Bat Legion, playing at home, would focus on defensive counterattack tactics at the Mestalla Stadium!

He wanted to kick Gary Neville away!

[You are the La Liga champions last season, why are you so afraid of fifth place in the Premier League? 】

[We at Manchester United relied on last season’s Europa League championship to be able to play in the Champions League!]

No matter how much Mourinho started a war of words at the press conference, Neville remained unmoved. In the end, thanks to a long-distance run by Feguli, Mourinho scored a goal that made Mourinho return home in despair!

1:0!

-

A few days later, on February 19, the other half of the Champions League games also started.

Bayern Munich swept Porto 5:0 at home; Real Madrid defeated Besiktas 3:1 away from home. Both giants achieved victory.

As for another relatively balanced game, few people paid attention to it: the Miners narrowly defeated Roma 2:1 at home.

At the pre-match press conference, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde led captain Iniesta into the media hall at Stamford Bridge.

This head coach, who only took over as coach last summer, has only led the team for half a season, but he has already brought new changes to Barcelona. After 24 rounds of La Liga this season, Barcelona has 19 wins, 5 draws, and no defeat!

They also topped the list with 62 points, leaving behind Atletico Madrid with 51 points, Real Madrid with 48 points, and Valencia with 46 points!

"Chelsea's lead in the Premier League is surprising, but considering they have Lee Poirot in the squad, it becomes completely acceptable."

Valverde's attitude is very low-key:

"Lee Polo was the best player in world football in 2017. His form in 2018 is still very hot. I hope tomorrow's tactics can limit him."

Iniesta, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously touched his increasingly bald head:

"I did have a phone call with Josep (Guardiola) and he also gave me some advice that I hope will come into play tomorrow."

After they stepped down, the host, Lee Polo, sat on the floor with Conte.

Li Polo made a disdainful comment:

"If Mr. Guardiola's advice is really useful, shouldn't Manchester City be the one currently ranked first in the Premier League?"

He changed to a more casual posture:

"Speaking of which, I have been looking forward to this game for a long time!"

A bright smile from the heart appeared on his face:

"I would like to see if Barcelona, ​​which remains undefeated this season, has improved compared to last season."

"I also want to play an exciting game with those old friends!"

Valverde, who had returned to the hotel, didn't even turn on his mobile phone and went straight to bed!

He doesn't want to see these remarks that make him feel uncomfortable! -

The day passed quickly, and the Stamford Bridge stadium on January 20 was brightly lit.

Thirty-five thousand Blues supporters checked in half an hour in advance.

"In fact, among the four giants in the Premier League, Chelsea's home attendance rate has never been particularly high. Although the maximum capacity of Stamford Bridge is only 41,000 people."

In the live broadcast room of the game, Lineker had already made preparations.

Sitting opposite him today, in addition to Carragher, there was another special guest.

Lampard, who has retired for a year, took over the topic.

He glanced at the crowded stands and said confidently:

"But today's opponents will see the most terrifying Stamford Bridge!"

Carragher intervened in their conversation:

"As we all know, the traditional giants in England basically hate Barcelona as a team, except for Guardiola's Manchester City.

For example, we at Liverpool just had Coutinho poached by them, and before that we also had Suarez and Mascherano...

Manchester United was robbed of the Champions League title twice by them in 2009 and 2011, missing the best opportunity to dominate Europe.

Not to mention Arsenal, from Henry, Cesc Fabregas to Vermaelen, in the first decade of the 21st century, they were once known as the Barcelona youth training base!

And Chelsea probably has the worst relationship with Barcelona. When I mention the historical grudges between them, I can't help but think of the hideous scene of Ballack roaring angrily at the referee..."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lampard's expression suddenly became solemn.

As the former vice-captain of Chelsea, the tragedy was vivid in his mind. It would appear in front of his eyes from time to time for a long time. It was not until 2012 that Chelsea finally won the first Champions League trophy in team history.

fade.

He glanced at the entrance of the players' tunnel. The coaches of both sides had already brought their substitute players in, and the referee team also led the starting players of both sides to sort out the queue.

Blues captain Cahill and Barcelona captain Iniesta stood side by side, with no communication at all between them.

But behind them, there were bursts of noisy sounds.

Among the 18 players in Barcelona today, two are from the former Valencia. De Paul started the game and Andre Gomez was on standby on the bench.

Seeing his old teammates who had fought side by side, Li Polo certainly couldn't help but chat with them for a while.

He hugged DePaul forcefully and then patted him on the shoulder:

"I will be on full fire today, don't blame me for not reminding you."

DePaul smiled slightly bitterly:

"I hope that after today's game, we won't turn against each other..."

The Argentina international took another look at the figure standing at the end of the team.

That figure was not tall, but it made him feel a little calmer.

Li Poluo also noticed his movements and shook his head slightly:

"Sorry, if you stand on the opposite side of me, I don't mind having another enemy."

The smile on DePaul's mouth suddenly became more bitter.

[Negative sentiment from DePaul, +44!]
