Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 171 The pressure of the leader
In the early hours of this morning, 5 confirmed diagnoses were reported here, and another day of work was added...

There is no holiday this week, err——
Valencia: 39
Barcelona: 35
Atletico Madrid: 33
Celta: 31
Villarreal: 30
Real Madrid: 30
This is the ranking of the La Liga standings after the first 16 rounds.

Among their competitors, Barcelona suffered Suarez's suspension after the disastrous defeat. They lost consecutive points because of their unstable military spirit, and the point difference between them and Valencia has expanded to 4 points.

Atletico Madrid is quite satisfactory. After Griezmann was injured, they could only rely on Torres as the striker. Fortunately, there was no shortage of offensive players in the midfield and the situation was barely maintained.

Real Madrid also performed poorly this season. Although they played a massacre of 5:0, 6:0, and even 10:2, they were affected by the Benzema incident, and Benitez has always wanted to clean Ronaldo and restore his strength. Bale caused obvious turmoil in the locker room. They were defeated by Sevilla, Barcelona, ​​and Villarreal, and they were tied by Atletico Madrid, Gijon, and Malaga. more serious.

The top three of the Western Super League have all encountered problems. Under such circumstances, although Valencia's ascent to the top is a bit surprising, it seems not unacceptable.

After all, even an unknown team like Celta Vigo can still rank No. 4 when the season is about to pass halfway. What's so strange about being first in the standings?

On the last day of December, Lee Polo boarded the team's bus and headed to the away game of the 12th round of the league.

It is said that it is an away game, but it is not far away at all. Before Li Polo even had time to take a nap, the bus stopped outside the stadium.

The Love Song Stadium has a total capacity of 22000 people. The main color of the stands is yellow, because their team is Villarreal, known as the "Yellow Submarine".

This game can also be called the "Valencia Derby", but the two clubs have no hatred at all, and there has never been an unpleasant event worth remembering in the past century, so this is just an ordinary game.

Huang Qian was unfortunately relegated in 2012, but returned to La Liga a year later, and then maintained the sixth ranking in the league for two consecutive seasons, showing a very stable performance.

With Europa League bonuses, their financial situation has improved, buying Spanish international Soldado from Tottenham, buying La Masia teenager Danny Suarez from Barcelona, ​​​​and another from Malaga. The two main players, Samu Garcia and Samu Castillejo, were taken away in a package, and they are also among the best in La Liga's transfer expenses.

In the 15th round, they had a big upset. With Soldado's goal, they defeated the Galaxy Battleship 1:0!
——The reason why they are ranked above Real Madrid with the same points is because the relationship between victory and defeat is more dominant...

"I don't have much to stress about."

At the pep-up meeting before the game, Nuno Santo told everyone:

"Villarreal just defeated Real Madrid, and we will face Real Madrid in the next round. To prove that we are stronger than Real Madrid, first... win today's game!"

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Huang Qian is better than Real Madrid. If Valencia beats Huang Qian again, wouldn't it prove that Valencia > Huang Qian > Real Madrid?

There's nothing wrong with this logic, right? -
Although Nuno's speech was emotionless, the players were extremely positive. In addition, they had just gone through ten days of rest, and everyone was full of motivation when implementing high-pressure pressing tactics.

However, there is also a bad luck. Mustafi, who has just recovered from his injury for a few days, sprained his ankle during the warm-up before the game and had to temporarily withdraw from the starting list. Vizzo, who was about to sit on the bench for 90 minutes, was unexpectedly awarded opportunity.

Since the left back Gaya is also recovering from his injury, Mustafi's temporary injury means that only Li Polo is left as a reliable defender in Valencia's defense. Lead your teammates to do a good job of defense.

But even so, Huang Qian, who was playing at home, could not withstand Valencia's offensive.

Only 23 minutes into the game, the tie was broken.Cancelo, who advanced and assisted, sent a very precise cross from the wing. Paco turned offside and then headed the ball. Parejo, who followed closely behind, pierced the goal with a long shot, 1:0 .

Before the end of the midfield, Li Polo successfully snatched Soldado's header from under his nose, and then kicked it to Gomez. The Portuguese midfielder passed Soriano in the yellow team. With a through ball, he found Paco, who was cruising near the offside line, and the latter shot directly past the goalkeeper and flew into the net!

Entering the second half with a score of 2:0, Valencia played more and more smoothly. Li Polo was also able to hand over the defense to Vizzo and Barragan, and occasionally went forward to look for opportunities to attack.

The hard work paid off, and in the 77th minute, he finally seized the fleeting opportunity at the 8th corner kick of the game and locked the score at 3:0 with his iconic header.

【How did Lee Polo score again? 】

[Why does a defender always score goals? 】

Valencia scored a total of 90 corner kicks and 8 free kicks in the frontcourt in 6 minutes. Lee Polo just grabbed a header... What's so strange about that?

Replaced by other people's cheats, if you can't score 14 of these 7 set-piece opportunities, then they are all cheats! -
In the first game after the winter break, there were no surprises at all, and the traditional strong teams scored three points without exception.

瓦伦3：0力克黄潜；皇马在主场3:1轻取社会；巴萨也终于从之前连场不胜的颓势中挣扎出来，3:0横扫贝蒂斯。

Atletico Madrid's away game against Vallecano, the two sides have been in a stalemate until Zhang Chengdong came off the bench in the 82nd minute, and then Atletico Madrid scored two goals in a row within 3 minutes, turning a draw into 2:0...

Sometimes, once people are favored by bad luck, no matter what they do, they will end up taking the blame! -
The 2015 calendar finally turned over, and Lee Polo also received his final month's income.

Valencia participated in a total of 12 games in December. Compared with other months, this number is a little bit more. Among them, 7 league games, 4 Copa del Rey games, and 2 Champions League game, only one tie, which was absent by Li Polo That Copa del Rey.

He started 6 times in 5 games, scored 6 goals, sent 2 assists, continued his terrifying offensive data, and also led the incomplete defense line, and got 3 zero seals.In the case of Mustafi's frequent injuries, he has become a well-deserved leader of the defense!

The December income is as follows:
Basic salary: 10000*5=50000
Appearance bonus: League + Copa del Rey 2000*5+ Champions League substitute 3000=13000
Goal bonus: 6*5000=30000
Assist bonus: League 1000+ Champions League 2000=3000
Zero seal bonus: 1000*3=3000
Champions League promotion bonus: 20000
King's Cup promotion bonus: 5000
La Liga Team of the Month for December: 12
Champions League group stage best team: 10000
Total: 139000
Li Poluo glanced at the last six digits, and showed a disdainful smile again.

[This is the last time I care about my monthly income. 】

[Since 2016, my weekly basic income has been much more than the previous month! 】
-
It is worth mentioning that Li Polo was successfully selected among the best 2015 players in the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2016-11 season just announced by UEFA.

This lineup is a bit thought-provoking. As the most successful club in 2015 and the champion of the Champions League last season, Barcelona did not have a single player selected!
Goalkeeper: Trapp (Paris)
Defenders: Barzagli (Juventus), Thiago Silva (Paris), Godin (Atletico Madrid), Alaba (Bayern)
Midfielders: Lee Polo (Valencia), Willian (Chelsea), Sterling (Manchester City)
Forwards: Müller (Bayern), Hulk (Zenit), Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Although Lee Polo only played 4 group games, he handed over 2 goals, 2 assists, and the highest average interception and header data per game!
You know, the 2015 Ballon d'Or winner Messi only had 3 goals and 1 pass.

Lee Polo is better at defending than a striker, and better at attacking than a defender. UEFA experts held back for two weeks, and finally placed him in the midfield position!
Since Nuno Santo said he was going to be a free man, let's just put it here!

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, there is nothing wrong with it!
