Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 137 Not in the plan
After staying in Wimbledon for three days, Lisanna finally started school, and Li Polo returned to Spain again.

On the last day of his vacation, he invited Pablo Gonzalez, the team leader who had initially guided him to familiarize himself with the club, for another meal.

Combining his own feelings in the past two months, he asked Gonzales many questions.

With the help of the translation, he finally got a general understanding of some twists and turns in this club.

The big boss Peter Lin does seldom directly intervene in the affairs of the team, but the management structure of this club, as well as the club chairman, multiple board members, technical director and other senior executives, Nuno, the head coach and The sports director is far from being "covering the sky with one hand".

Even if you only look at the personnel structure of the first team, you can understand the club's mind.

Among the three assistant coaches, Rui Pedro is a direct descendant of Nuno, Voro is a prestigious club legend, and Neville Jr. represents the will of the boss. The relationship between them is very delicate.

With a little drunkenness, Gonzalez said the truth:

"You are a player signed by Peter Lin. Nuno Santo will not lose face, but you will never appear in his core plan!"

"But my contract stipulates the minimum number of appearances..."

Li Boluo was interrupted by the other party just after he spoke half a sentence.

"Each game allows you to mix up for 1 minute in stoppage time, that's 0.5 games, isn't it?"

Gonzalez looked like a rogue of an old fritter:

"Boy, you have only played professional football for a year, how do you know the rules of this world?"
-
After thinking for a long time, Lee Polo knocked on the head coach's office early the next morning.

Nuno Santo, who was studying the training details with three assistants, was a little strange, but still interviewed him alone:
"Are you alright?"

Li Poluo already knew that this young marshal was not particularly good at communication, so he chose to cut to the chase:
"Coach, I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting. I was just wondering if I could take a place in your plans?"

Nuno squinted his eyes and answered him very simply:

"I saw that you really worked hard in training. I heard that you still practice more often, which is a good thing. But your overall strength has not met my requirements, so I can only use you as a substitute. It's a pity, but This is my truth."

After finishing speaking, he didn't see much disappointment on the faces of the opposing players.

Li Poluo nodded, with an "expected" look:

"Thank you for your honesty, coach. In this case, if I don't get a chance to play in the official game, can I participate in the reserve team game?"

Nuno took a deep look at him:
"Are you sure? Mestalla can only participate in the third level competition!"

Lee Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"I need to play more games to be able to make enough progress."

[Only by participating in the competition, he can collect more negative emotions! 】

The Portuguese's right hand finally left his beard:
"I fully respect your opinion. I will pass your thoughts on to Volo."
-
Spain's league system is very different from England's. The reserve teams of La Liga and West B teams also have to participate in the official league. According to different results, these B teams are scattered in each level of West B, West B, and West C. .

This has led to a very bloated 3rd and 4th level league. There are 80 teams participating in the La Liga B. The Spanish Football Association divides these teams into 4 groups according to the principle of proximity.Reserve teams including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Varen are all at this level.

After the training session, Uolo found Lee Polo as expected.

As the head coach of Team B, he certainly knows the strength of his team:
"I personally welcome you very much, but our defense has been running in for a long time, and you only train with us on match days, so it is impossible to be the main central defender."

Lee Polo couldn't help but twitched his cheeks.

[Forget about the first team, even the reserve team can't get a main force? 】

【Then I might as well go back to Wimbledon! 】

[It is also the third level of the league, the League One must be better than the West Division B, right? 】

But Volo didn't finish:

"I also mainly play the 433 formation in the reserve team, but I have been lacking a powerful striker. Do you want to try it?"

Li Bo Luo was stunned for a moment:
"Coach, you know, I can hardly surpass others!"

Volo smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"I don't need you to be extraordinary, I just need you to complete three tasks:

First, serve as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, use the body to block the opponent's center and rear, and serve as the ball for other teammates;

Second, if we lose the ball in the frontcourt, you are the first line of defense, and I need you to immediately start a counter-attack on the spot;

Thirdly, I need you to fight for the header when we are playing positionally.

Can you meet these requirements? "

Lee Polo also laughed:

"As long as my teammates can pass, I can grab you 20 headers in a game!"
-
On September 9, the third round of La Liga, Valencia challenged Sporting Gijon away.

Due to the suspension of Barragan's red card, the Portuguese Cancelo got the chance to start, and Li Polo sat on the bench for another 90 minutes.

Facing last season's runner-up in West Division II, Valencia had a comprehensive advantage, so that Nuno Santo boldly put the 163cm Piatti into the starting lineup.

Then they got into a vicious battle at the Molinon-Quinney!
The three midfielders Parejo, Perez, and Fuego were collectively yellowed, and the opposite side also paid the price of three yellow cards.

As a newly promoted Sporting Gijon, facing the fourth bat team in the league, it is not in the slightest. The two sides come and go, and the number of shots is almost the same!

Except for the fact that Sporting Gijon's ball possession rate is only 41%, they are comparable to Valencia in almost every stat!

Paco came on for Negredo, Andre Gomez for Perez, and even Zakaria came in for a bruised Piatti.

Nuno Santo's substitution had an immediate effect. In the 91st minute of the game, Belgian teenager Zakaria assisted Pato to complete the lore!

"What is a tactical genius? I am!"

Nuno, who had been frustrated for 90 minutes, almost wanted to shout out, but his clenched fists still revealed his inner excitement.

Li Polo, who was sitting on the bench, curled his lips disapprovingly:

[One goal narrowly beat the newly promoted, you really have the face to celebrate! 】
-
"My team is running well, and several new aids, including youth players, are gradually integrating into my system."

At the post-match press conference, Nuno couldn't hide his complacency:
"It was a much more difficult game than expected, Sporting played very tenaciously, but their boys beat them and I want to praise them again for their performance."

"Only scored 3 goals in three rounds, so the goals are a bit low? This is not a problem, we have too many talented attackers, Negredo, Paco, Feguli, Mina, Parejo, DePaul, Piatti, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!"

After so many years in football, how could Nuno not know what the world really looks like?

As long as they can keep winning, their team will have no problems!
What executives, coaches, players, fans, no matter how dissatisfied they are with themselves, they will keep their mouths shut!
