The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 624 "I am eager to make progress!"

"Let us look forward to it together. In the new 2018-2019 season, who can challenge Chelsea, which has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive years?"

"Who can challenge...the strongest man in the football world in the past two seasons?!"

Before the official start of the new season, the Premier League officials followed the usual practice of filming short videos for each club, and then edited them into the official promotional videos of the Premier League.

Different from any other season in the past, this season is neither a group of heroes competing for hegemony, a Big6 battle, nor a two-hero competition or a three-legged confrontation, but an unprecedented new situation:

Chelsea, with Lee Polo, faced the challenges of the other 19 teams as the king of the world.

There are only two hottest topics about the Premier League right now:

Who can make the Blues, who only lost one game last season, give first blood?

Who can stop Lee Polo, who scored 121 goals in the Premier League last season, from scoring?

At the end of the promotional video, Lee Polo, dressed in blue, sat proudly on the majestic Iron Throne, raised his chin, and issued a challenge to the heroes of the world, and also extended an invitation to the global audience:

"bring it on!

I'm waiting for you in the Premier League!"

Just looking at Lee Polo's handsome face in the promotional video, the whole of England couldn't help but feel an indescribable anger:

[Negative sentiments from supporters of the other 19 Premier League teams, +191919!]

Friday, August 10th.

The new Premier League season has finally begun.

The first big show for the global audience was the Red Devils Manchester United and the Blue Fox Leicester City.

At Old Trafford, facing Leicester City, which was far inferior to itself, Mourinho's team still adopted a steady and conservative defensive counterattack.

They gave up controlling the ball in the midfield and frontcourt and relied on counterattack tactics to launch a fatal blow to Leicester City's defense.

As a result, in their first counterattack in the second minute, the Blue Fox defender committed a handball foul in the penalty area, giving the home team a penalty kick!

Pogba made it in one fell swoop and gave the team a dream start!

After that, a long confrontation began. The best performer on the field turned out to be goalkeeper De Gea. He used high and low blocks to resolve two almost certain shots from Vardy and Maguire, and turned the goalkeeper into a winner. The 1:0 score remained until the second half.

During this period, Manchester United did not have no opportunities, but Lukaku and Sanchez missed one-on-one shots, and Morata hit the ball directly into the second-floor stands, wasting many opportunities to expand the score.

In the 83rd minute, new aid Fred intercepted the ball accurately. Mata sent a diagonal pass in the middle. Luke Shaw broke away from the defense and broke into the penalty area. He successfully scored with a shot from a small angle, 2:0!

Leicester City pressed heavily in the last few minutes and finally scored a goal from Vardy in stoppage time, but still lost the game.

Mourinho got a good start to the new season, but public opinion around the world is not optimistic about him.

Because this is Mourinho's third season coaching Manchester United!

"Three years of Mu" has always been a curse in football!

Whether it was the first time he came to Leia, Porto, or the Chelsea, Internazionale, Real Madrid that brought him to the top of his life, or the second phase of the car after gradually getting rid of the magic, Manchester United... 7 teams at different levels, but none of them can Let him stay for three years.

Especially for Real Madrid, Mourinho will detonate a time bomb in the locker room during his second and third seasons, and all the teams he has been in will be reduced to nothing.

Everyone is waiting with great anticipation. In Manchester United, which has the top traffic in football, can the Magic Birds survive the third year safely? -

"Manchester United's game was really ugly. Facing a mere Leicester City, their ball possession rate was only 45%."

Looking at Mourinho shouting on the screen, Lee Polo curled his lips disdainfully:

"It's been almost 20 years since he debuted, and he still uses his earliest defensive counterattack tactics, with almost no substantial changes. This kind of coaching philosophy is simply not suitable for being the head coach of a wealthy team!"

Conte nodded slightly in agreement:

"Indeed, he is only suitable to lead the team to achieve results in the short term, but is not suitable for the long-term development of a team until it establishes a dynasty."

Azar also echoed:

"His thinking is a bit too old-fashioned and stubborn."

Conte grinned slightly. He said nothing, but everyone could see that he was in a happy mood.

As Mourinho's successor, he is happy to hear the two bosses in the team criticize the shortcomings of his predecessor, so that he will appear more suitable for today's Chelsea.

After happily watching the final injury time, Conte patted his butt:

"Let's go to the press conference."

-

When Mourinho started his first post-match press conference of the new season, Lipolo also started his first pre-match press conference.

Chelsea's first-round opponent was Huddersfield, who ranked 17th last season and was only 3 points away from relegation.

In this summer window, they introduced six new players including Dortmund defender Durm, but the total investment was only less than 45 million euros.

Perhaps due to the global economic downturn, in the summer of 2018, the entire Premier League and even the European transfer market were somewhat sluggish.

Except for Liverpool, which spent 200 million on signings, other teams were very sensible when signing up players.

Huddersfield's transfer fee of 45 million euros is not at the bottom among the 20 clubs in the Premier League. There are many teams that are stingier than him.

For example, New Wimbledon, which held high the banner of "free transfer + free loan", spent 23 million...

Cardiff City, which had also just been promoted to the Premier League, only spent 30 million on signings.

For example, the "Bumblebee" Watford only spent 20 million.

Another example is the "King of London" Crystal Palace, which only cost 13 million.

Even the old powerhouse "Magpie" Newcastle United only spent 35 million in the summer.

Of course, Chelsea's expenses were pitiful. Navas was given away as a fraction of Courtois's, and Barrios only spent 10 million.

I have to mention that among the 20 teams in the Premier League, the one that spends the least money is, surprisingly, Tottenham Hotspur, who ranks fifth!

Perhaps due to the negative impact of their failure to compete for the fourth place last season, Tottenham's enthusiasm in the summer window was very low. Although there were several rumors, it was not until August 10, the penultimate day before the summer window closed, that they

There were no signings, only one player who was on loan returned to the team because his contract expired...

Completely 0 signings!

-

"I am eager to achieve a new breakthrough in the new season, so I hope everyone can supervise me, spur me, and inspire me."

Li Polo, who was sitting at the speaking table, looked sincere:

"This breakthrough is reflected in... I hope to score more goals against every opponent than in the previous season!"

The reporters sitting below couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

Many people began to click on the calculator or the calculator on their mobile phones.

Even if each game only scores one more goal than last season, in 38 league rounds and 38 games, Lee Polo will score 38 more goals than last season!

Last season, Lee Polo scored a total of 121 league goals, which means...if he could play all 38 rounds of the league, he would have scored 121+38=159 goals!

He wants to take the goal record he just set... to a new level again!
