The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 663 Four Years Later

The welcome dinner to Lyon is still two weeks away, and what Chelsea will face this week is their opponent in the 12th round of the league, the "Toffees" Everton.

Everton has just welcomed a new coach this season - Marco Silva.

The 41-year-old Portuguese coach has made drastic changes to the lineup since he took office, and the club's senior management has also given strong support.

For example, Silva bought forward Richarlison from his old club Watford for 35 million, defender Mina from Barcelona for 27 million, Digne for 18 million, and rent-to-buy.

Recruited versatile midfielder Andre Gomez - Lee Polo's old teammate in Valencia (buyout price 24 million).

The total cost of the above four transfers has exceeded 100 million pounds!

In addition, although it is a free transfer, Bernard Anisio, whose previous transfer fee exceeded 20 million, and several potential young players, Everton fans have every reason to be optimistic about the prospects of the new season.

Optimistic outlook!

But the result may make them a little disappointed. After the first 11 rounds, their record is 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. They are temporarily ranked 7th with 18 points. They are still 15 points behind Chelsea at the top of the list. This is compared to their city rivals.

Liverpool also has an 8-point gap.

However, this result is still within the acceptable range.

After all... there is an even worse veteran super-rich club at the bottom!

Manchester United, the former Premier League hegemon, is now only ranked 11th! -

"Hey, Andre, I didn't expect you to come to the Premier League too!"

Li Polo was quite happy to see his old teammates who had fought side by side with him.

But the other party just hugged him with a forced smile and didn't seem to want to reminisce about old times.

Two years ago, he and Paco moved to Barcelona for a total price of 70 million euros, and they also got many opportunities.

In the first season, he played 30 times and scored 3 goals. As a rotation player in the midfield, he was still qualified. However, in the second season, after his old teammate De Paul also joined Barcelona from Valencia, Gomez

He immediately lost his position!

After all, DePaul is Messi's little brother in the national team, and he is naturally close to the club champion!

And what about Gomez?

He...is a Portuguese!

At the end of the season, he was even squeezed into the right back position, but even so, he could not stay in Barcelona and could only find other ways out.

Back then in Valencia, Gomez was a well-deserved offensive engine in the midfield, and as a central defender, Lee Polo also had to act as a green leaf for him.

But thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, just two years later, Gomez's value dropped sharply by 40%, and he could only live in a mid-table team in the Premier League, while Li Polo has become the leader of the entire football team.

The unique overlord in the world!

And... among the main players of Valencia back then, the one who did the worst was Gomez, who was the first to leave the team!

Even Paco, who currently plays for Dortmund, is a little better than him!

Paco can at least play in the Champions League with Dortmund!

Comparing people to each other is so annoying!

-

Everton's paper strength is indeed not weak at all.

In addition to new players like Andre Gomez, Richarlison, Digne, Mina, and Bernard, they also have the first-ever Toffees player with a transfer fee of 45 million.

"Iceland's great sniper" Sigurdsson, a former Gunners player, "Little Tiger" Walcott, Senegalese iron waist Gueye, a product of Manchester United's youth training, center back Michael Keane, and England who just won the Hercules Cup

Pickford, the first national goalkeeper.

In addition, sitting on the bench are veteran players Baines and Jajjelka, veteran Dutch goalkeeper Steggrunberg, Turkish striker Tosun worth 20 million pounds, and a Chinese midfielder who has just been selected for the Three Lions.

The overall strength of Lewin, a young player on the field, can fully compete for a seat in the "Big6".

But their head coach failed to bring these elite soldiers together, let alone unleash their full strength 100%!

This Everton team pursues an active and even somewhat ferocious pressing defense, as well as a wide-open and wide-open offensive tactics. They like to tear apart the opponent's defensive system through large-scale movements, and use through balls or high-altitude balls to pose a threat to the goal.

But the problem is...whether it's a long pass, a cross from the wing, a through ball or a high-altitude header, Chelsea are two levels better than them!

Fabregas, Alonso, Hazard, Azpilicueta, Willian, and even Rudiger, they all have the ability to pass the ball very accurately!

As for speed...even the "little tiger" at his peak can only eat dirt behind Lee Polo's butt!

As for the final scoring ability, all members of Everton's first team combined cannot score as many goals as Lee Polo alone!

In less than 10 minutes, Chelsea completed three shots, which was regarded as a warm-up training after the opening.

In the 13th minute, Hazard completed an inward volley that passed two people, but was saved by Pickford.

Before Pickford got up from the goal line, he saw Lee Polo giving him a thumbs up:

"Good pass!"

[I had obviously rushed outside, but why did I still bounce to his feet?!]

[Negative sentiment from Pickford, +199!]

1:0!

Li Polo succeeded! -

"It's him!"

"It's him!!"

"That's him!!!"

When Lee Polo overpowered the opponent's defender and scored a header in the 19th minute, the central defender suddenly started to tremble.

Michael Keane, the scene deep in his memory, appeared before his eyes again.

That was the afternoon of August 26, 2014.

Keane, who had just entered the first team, learned from head coach Van Gaal that day that he was about to get the chance to start!

Although Manchester United's opponent is just a little-known team, and it is a fourth-level team!

But young Keane is still extremely excited!

Then...he met a demon!

Lee Polo!

He led New Wimbledon and beat Manchester United 4:0 in 90 minutes!

Keane, who was full of joy and wanted to prove himself in front of Van Gaal, was beaten into a sieve by the crazy gang!

From then on, Keane failed to recover. In addition, Manchester United changed coaches every year, so he could only join the low-level Burnley, and then through his own efforts, he climbed up to the Premier League step by step.

In 2017, he joined Everton - the favorite re-employment team of Manchester United players - for a transfer fee of 22 million, and ushered in the peak of his career.

But last season Everton was in its worst period. At the end of the season, the points ranking was even two places lower than Keane's old club Burnley...

This season, the Toffees made a lot of signings and were ready to regroup, but after only 12 rounds, they met the opponent he feared most in his heart!

The confidence that took him four seasons to regain was shattered again the moment Lee Polo soared into the sky!

Four years ago, Lee Polo only scored one goal, but four years later, in just one half, Lee Polo scored three goals!

Two of them were scored in front of him!

Keane only played 55 minutes before he was replaced by head coach Silva!

When his mentality collapsed, he directly covered his face with a towel to prevent the camera from capturing the fear and despair in his eyes!

[Negative sentiment from Michael Keane, +555!]

7:0!

Lee Polo completes his five-man career and Chelsea beats Goodison!
