football's number one madman

Chapter 183 He scored with his feet again?
On January 1, in the middle of this week, Valencia played a first-leg match of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

They ushered in Las Palmas at home. This opponent is only ranked 17th in the league, with 18 points, 33 points away from the top of the list, Valencia, and only 1 point away from the relegation zone...

Such an opponent is doomed that they will only focus on the great cause of league relegation, and they will definitely not have much interest in cup games.

Nuno Santo showed no mercy at all, commanding the team to launch wave after wave of onslaughts, and even offered some morale-boosting words when they swept Granada 5-0 in the last round:
"Atletico Madrid can score 3:0 in the away game, we are in Mestalla today!"

Now that the head coach has talked about this, the players will of course not let it go. In less than 30 minutes of the game, Rodrigo and Mina broke through the opponent's city successively, and Li Polo seized the opportunity to make a header. , At the end of the first half, Las Palmas had fallen behind by three goals!

The home team's offensive remained undiminished in the second half. Nuno directly called Negredo, Zakaria, and Piatti from the bench to stimulate the starting players who were not excited enough.

Negredo of the "strong team soft-footed shrimp" did not waste the rare soft persimmon on the opposite side, and directly scored twice, smashing all the thoughts of Las Palmas away!

With a score of 5:0, Valencia made the second round of the contest a week later completely meaningless! -
Three days later, on January 3, in the 1st round of La Liga, the giants suddenly stretched their hips collectively.

The Galacticos were in a tough game at home to Real Betis, and they lost the goal in the first 6 minutes.

In the face of Real Madrid's former second goal Adan, Ronaldo shot 90 times in 9 minutes, but failed to score a goal. Bell bid farewell to the squad directly due to injury, and finally relied on Benzema in the 71st place. A goal in the first minute barely equalized the score.

Atletico Madrid was tied 1:1 by Sevilla at home, but considering that Sevilla is also a traditional powerhouse, this draw is not surprising.

As for Barcelona, ​​they also encountered difficulties.

Neymar was slightly injured before the game, and Pique was also unable to play due to accumulated yellow cards. In addition, Vermaelen had not yet walked out of the infirmary. As a result, they could not find a decent central defender except Mascherano !
——What's more, Xiao Ma's position in his peak period was never a central defender!

Barcelona, ​​short of major generals, was finally tied 12:2 by the 2th-ranked Malaga. In order to compete for the ball, Messi even had a rare violent physical conflict with the opposing player, so that he received a yellow card.

As for Valencia, it's just fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps.

At No. 9 La Coruña's home court - Riazor Stadium, the Bat Corps suffered an unexpected blow.

Paco, who had just returned from injury, relapsed from his old injury in the 10th minute and had to leave the game with regret. After more than half a minute of consideration, Nuno Santo made a substitution decision that surprised everyone:

"Let Vizo play!"

The stunned Vizzo took off his coat while listening to assistant coach Rui Pedro explain the tactics:
"Your task is very simple, play as a central defender and let Lee Polo play as a striker!"

Wezzo understood immediately, but he was eager to tell the coach:

[Actually... I can also play forward! 】

Li Polo, who was suddenly pushed to the forward line, didn't react, but he only glanced at the opponent's back line, and immediately understood the coach's intention:
Deportivo's two central defenders, one with a height of 185 and the other with a height of 184, have no air supremacy in front of Li Polo, who is 183!

Deportivo's defenders were still thinking about how to limit Paco's speed and running position one minute ago, but suddenly had to face Li Polo's high-altitude bombing one minute later, Valencia suddenly changed the routine of attacking coordination, Catch them a little off guard!
Sure enough, in the 13th minute, DePaul sent a cross from the left. Before he had time to gain a firm position on the forward line, Lee Polo overwhelmed the opponent's defender and easily shook his head and scored!
Valencia, which was leading by one goal, did not fully open up the situation. The Depor players at home showed their tenacious fighting spirit. Perez, Gomez and others were in a hurry.

Fortunately, Mustafi and Vizo did not collectively stretch their hips. In addition, Gaya on the left has also returned, and Cancelo on the right is even more brave. Although the entire defense line has been threatened repeatedly, it has never been lost. a ball.

Not only that, Mustafi succeeded in grabbing in the 41st minute, allowing Valencia to play a sharp offensive again.

Parejo scored the ball in the middle, DePaul picked a pass to Gomez, the Portuguese midfielder dribbled the ball for more than 30 meters, and sent it straight to Li Polo's feet!
Just after passing the ball, Gomez slapped his forehead:
"Forget that Paco is off!"

"I should pass the high ball on horseback!"

But what surprised him was that Li Polo quickly caught up with his through ball, relied on his speed advantage to eat the opponent's defender, and then dribbled the ball sideways to shake away the goalkeeper, and then sent the ball in. Net nest!
2: 0!

The coaches and players of Deportivo were a little confused:

"This unscientific!"

"This player... doesn't he only know how to head the ball?"

"Why did he score with his feet again?"
-
"This……"

Several coaches on the bench also looked at each other a little bit.

They have known Lee Polo's skills for a long time, and they know that this defensive core lacks not only enough talent in dribbling and shooting, but also lacks systematic training in his youth. Progress is not obvious.

If Li Poluo knew what they were thinking, he would definitely be very wronged:

[My shot has risen from a mere 2014 in August 8 to the current 19 points, an increase of nearly 30%, and the improvement is not obvious? 】

[18 points skyrocketed in 11 months, even if you play FIFA, it can't be so fast, right? 】

——Yes, just after scoring this ground ball, Li Polo heard the system prompt again, and his shooting attribute rose a little from 29 points.

——Here, Lee Polo must thank his girlfriend, Lisanna Taylor.In the process of improving his skills, Lisanna has been encouraging him enthusiastically, putting in unimaginable sweat, so that he often shouted and broke his throat, causing his voice to become hoarse when he woke up the next day, and his body even occasionally Bruises and welts may also appear.

Lisanna, that's not easy! -
After brainstorming on the bench, Nuno Santo found a reasonable explanation:

"In fact, this goal is also very reasonable. Compared with the skills at his feet, he relies more on speed."

Rui Pedro hastily agreed:
"That's right, his speed is indeed too fast, not only the defenders can't catch up with him, but the goalkeeper can't make a block."

Volo also nodded again and again:
"Yes, yes, but he dribbled the ball laterally in front of the goal, and it was obvious that he was staggering."

Phil Neville could only echo their sentiments:
"Let me just say, he is just an ordinary person, how can he cover everything?"

The four coaches agreed and smiled.

They are all professional players. Of course, they know how difficult it is for a player to make a breakthrough in his technical ability after he grows up!

They would rather believe that Lee Polo's goal this time was just a coincidence!
