The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 692 Opening up new areas?

On the first day of 2019, in addition to receiving a bunch of awards and honors, Lee Polo also accomplished two things:

One is to order a large master bed that can withstand higher pressure.

The second is to think deeply about Lisanna's opinion.

As an ordinary football player, his energy is indeed too high!

Although he has repeatedly emphasized that he can fully cope with the intensive schedule of double games a week or even three games a week, the coaching team does not agree with him playing every game consecutively...

In the confrontation between Lipolo and Conte, he had already gained the upper hand, but Conte insisted on his principles and bottom line on this issue.

Li Polo would not feel resentful towards Conte because of this, but had new ideas.

Since my physical energy is so full that I am about to explode, then...can I try to develop a side job?

For example... participating in a track and field competition that also relies on the body?

The IAAF's annual Diamond League, the biennial World Athletics Championships, and even... the Olympic Games, these are all events that bring both fame and fortune!

As a football player, Lee Polo certainly understands the meaning of separation.

First of all, he is definitely not qualified to directly participate in top events such as the World Championships or the Olympics, because the IAAF has threshold restrictions such as ranking and points. He can only accumulate points from the lowest level events and climb up the rankings.

Secondly, there will inevitably be a huge conflict between the schedules of football and track and field. A large-scale event, from start to finish, often has multiple stages such as qualifiers, knockout rounds, and finals. He may be able to spare two or three days.

, but it is absolutely impossible to leave the club for ten days and a half...

He is the most professional athlete! There is no way he would do something stupid at the expense of others!

With this bottom line in mind, he called his agent Barnett:

"Jonathan, please give me a plan. Can you participate in a few individual track and field competitions?"

Jonathan Barnett is indeed a top sports agent. In less than 20 hours, they came up with a preliminary plan.

Regarding Lee Polo's whimsical ideas, old Barnett not only did not sneer at him and criticized him for being whimsical and not doing his job properly, but instead strongly supported him:

"After all, football is a team sport, but track and field is the best stage for individual heroism. I will arrange a professional team to conduct a basic assessment of your abilities, and then choose a development direction based on the results. What do you think?"

Li Polo is very satisfied with his professional attitude.

But for his excessive caution, Li Polo felt that it was unnecessary:

"Ability recognition?"

"With just my speed and jumping, I can at least participate in sprinting, long-distance running, high jump, and long jump, right?"

[Negative emotions from Old Barnett, +66!]

Old Barnett held his forehead speechlessly:

[Let’s not talk about running, let’s just talk about high jumping. The technical essentials involved are much more complicated than you think! 】

-

Professional matters are left to professional personnel to handle, and Li Polo still completes his own work first.

On January 2, he led Chelsea to Stamford Bridge and ushered in their first opponent in 2019, Southampton.

This is the 21st round of the Premier League. The South Coast Saints have only achieved a poor record of 3 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses. They scored 22 goals but conceded 44 goals. Such results can only keep them ranked in the standings.

In the second to last.

In the last round of competition, they were beaten 6:1 by Manchester City at their home court, and two main players were suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards...

All the conditions indicate that this game... will definitely not become an exciting and exciting battle between the two sides!

Last season, the Saints ranked fifth from the bottom, only 4 points higher than the relegation zone. This season, they not only failed to regroup and return to the position they should belong to - at least the middle of the standings - but continued to languish.

Bad, even all the way down...

Although they set up a formation with three central defenders and two defensive midfielders, they ignored one problem:

If you want to unleash the power of a lineup, you can't just pile up players!

After a rest, Hazard opened the scoring with his signature long shot, and then handed the stage to his teammates.

Lee Polo completed a hat trick in the first half, and went one step further in the second half, scoring 7 goals in the whole game!

Coupled with William's missed goal, Cahill also seized a corner kick opportunity and scored with a header. With a 10:0 disparity, Chelsea kicked the Saints to hell!

[Negative sentiments from Saints fans across the country, +7481555!]

The focus of the 21st round is undoubtedly the fourth-ranked Manchester City, which will face the second-ranked Liverpool at home.

Liverpool is in hot form this season and is the most likely competitor to threaten Chelsea's league title. In comparison, Manchester City's recent form is a bit too sluggish.

But in this context, Guardiola directed his disciples and produced a representative performance.

In this game, Liverpool played all their main players, but Manchester City's brains, De Bruyne, didn't even start.

Both sides started high-position pressure and pressing from the beginning. Both red and blue teams frequently made mistakes under this high-intensity pressing.

There were many excellent opportunities, but the forwards of both sides did not cherish them. In addition, the two Brazilian goalkeepers were interested in proving their strength in front of their competitors. There was no goal in the entire first half.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. With the exhaustion of physical energy, the goal finally came.

In the 65th minute, Aguero received a pass from the left side of seat B, calmly got rid of Lovren's attack, and scored with a cold shot from almost zero angle! 1:0!

After falling behind, Liverpool launched a full-scale attack, but it was not until the 88th minute that a real opportunity came.

Arnold's cross from the right was so powerful that the football flew half the pitch and found Robertson on the left. The Scotsman dribbled the ball into the penalty area and then passed across the middle. Firmino, who was in place, headed a header to equalize the score! 1

:1!

Just when everyone thought that this strong duel was about to end in a draw, in the final stage of injury time, Sterling, who had been wasting opportunities, now moved to the center. During the counterattack, he launched a through ball, and he

Sane, who had changed positions, broke into the left rib of the penalty area and used his left foot to whip the ball to the upper right corner of the goal!

2:1!

Manchester City, which has never been good at fighting tough battles, achieved a decisive victory!

"Yeah!"

Guardiola danced excitedly, but he was only happy for three seconds before his face darkened again.

【What's so happy about!】

[We won against second-ranked Liverpool, wouldn’t it have expanded Chelsea’s lead by three points?]

-

Liverpool are not the only team to lose to opponents ranked below themselves.

In this round, Arsenal, ranked fifth, also overturned.

In the almost full Emirates Stadium, the Gunners attacked vigorously for 90 minutes, but were defeated 2:1 by their opponent's defensive counterattack tactics!

Their opponent is none other than the new Wimbledon ranked 7th!

After losing to the Crazy Gang, the Gunners' ranking fell one place, and currently ranked 6th is Manchester United, who just defeated Newcastle 2:0!

The situation in the Premier League is now more complicated!

But everyone believes that what becomes more complicated is just the situation of competing for the fourth place and has nothing to do with the ownership of the championship!
