Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 182 The Infirmary Is Overwhelmed!
"Barcelona can play them 4:0, we don't accept a lower score than them!"

These were the rhetoric that Li Polo uttered before the second round of the fifth round of the King's Cup on January 1.

In the first round, he did not play due to injury and filming commercials. Valencia with a semi-main lineup swept Granada 4-0 at home, and now he has moved to the away game with a huge advantage. Of course, Nuno Santo has confidence in the lineup to rotate.

Negredo, Piatti, Mina, Zakaria, Barbosa, Ryan and other substitute players have had the chance to play. In terms of defense, Mustafi finally returned from injury and played against Li Polo again. Form a partner.

After frequent injuries, the German player finally saw the situation clearly and accepted the fact that the core of the defense was subtly substituting without knowing it...

Mustafi, who had been out of battle for a long time, performed very hard in this game. He cooperated with Li Polo to defuse almost all the opponent's offensives outside the restricted area. He even made suggestions to Li Polo many times:
"It's enough to have me here, you need to attack more!"

Seeing his defensive partner being so caring, Lee Polo was very moved, and he did not disappoint his teammates' expectations. In the 90 minutes of the game, he made a total of 11 advances, handed over the data of 1 header and 1 assist, Help the team achieve a 5:0 victory!
Valencia scored 9:0 in two rounds and advanced strongly to the sixth round of the Copa del Rey!
And their opponent Granada has also become the worst La Liga team in the past half month.

They were scored a total of 13 goals by Valencia and Barcelona in the three games in the Copa del Rey and the league!
Especially their poor goalkeeper, who has already had a psychological shadow on football!
-
"Mustafi is in good condition, Gaya has recovered from his injury and can train with the team."

Before the day's daily training, Nuno Santo was listening to reports from chief team doctor Albers and fitness coach Dias.

"But unfortunately Paco and Fuego got injured almost at the same time..."

Nuno couldn't help rubbing his temples, and laughed at himself:
"Is our infirmary too busy recently?"

Albers also shook his head with a wry smile:

"I have to ask finance to give me a raise."

Dias frowned and analyzed:

"The team's training volume has not increased significantly. We have also carried out a large rotation in the cup, but almost all members of the first team have suffered from injuries and physical problems. Maybe...is this a hint from God?"

Nuno glared at him:
"What do you mean? I advise you to stop thinking about these things, especially don't spread such negative thoughts to the players!"

Dias rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and nodded with erratic eyes.

Feudal superstition has never been a characteristic of a certain place. Even in countries with the most advanced science and technology, it is difficult for ordinary people to avoid feudal superstition.

But what Dias said just now, Nuno himself hadn't thought about it.

Has Valencia really offended something evil this season?

Otherwise, why are there so many injuries!
Alves, the main goalkeeper who was injured the most, has not even left the hospital bed since the beginning of the season! -
Looking at it from another perspective, thanks to the full camp of injured soldiers, the competition for various positions in Valencia this season is actually not that fierce.

Even Negredo, who has been sidelined for more than two months, has gradually gained several starting opportunities after Rodrigo, Feguli, and Paco were injured one after another.

Vizzo and Orban, who had already been on the bench, even beat Real Madrid violently as the starters. It's not too cool!
It is also because everyone can get the chance to play, and the atmosphere in the locker room has always been quite united and friendly, without the negative emotions caused by vicious competition...

Three days later, on January 1, Valencia sat in Mestalla and ushered in the first opponent in the second half of the league schedule-Vallecano.

In the first round of the league at the beginning of the season, the two sides shook hands with a score of 0:0. The "Chinese Derby", which was expected by the Chinese media before, was also dropped because neither Li Polo nor Zhang Chengdong played.

Now, half a year later, Li Polo has become a first-class central defender in La Liga, but Zhang Chengdong's position in Vallecano is even more embarrassing.

Born as a full-back, he only played once in Vallecano, and he went to the position of a full-back!

You know, Vallecano has been ranked 18th-19th in the standings, almost locked a relegation spot early, and Zhang Chengdong can only give up if he can't gain a firm foothold in such a weak team.

Looking at the confident, even a little arrogant face opposite, Zhang Chengdong, who was sitting in the fans' stands, felt a lot of feelings.

With a long sigh, he finally made his final decision.

[There is no stage of its own here. 】

[Myself, who played in the Portuguese Super League, Portuguese First Division, and German Second Division, was once regarded as a banner for Chinese players to study abroad, but...it's time to return to China! 】

[I'm already 27 years old, if I don't return to China to earn some money, how can I support my family after retiring! 】

"Drip, drip, drip~~"

The referee's three whistles brought the game to an end.

Lee Polo grabbed a corner kick from DePaul in the 39th minute and scored the only goal of the game, which also allowed the team to struggle to score three points at home.

Valencia continued to lead with 51 points, and none of the chasing group behind them suffered accidents.

The second-ranked Barcelona won a hearty 6:0 against the "Basque Lion" Athletic Bilbao!

This duel was originally considered to be a "strong dialogue", but Suarez, who was released from the ban and came back, held back for more than two full months. Once he got the ball, he was extremely excited, and he broke Bibao's defense line in all directions by himself. Leaking the wind, the second half even staged a hat-trick, completely treating the 8th-ranked opponent as an amateur team!
Real Madrid are not far behind, they faced Sporting Gijon which ranked third last at home, Bell opened the scoring, Ronaldo and Benzema each scored twice, and the score was fixed at 5:1!
Atletico Madrid's offense is slightly inferior. They only easily defeated the 3th-ranked Las Palmas with a score of 0:16.

Looking at it this way, Valencia is a bit embarrassed.

Without exception, their defeated players have won big victories, but the Bat Corps, the leader of the league, barely maintains a winning streak relying on a central defender's goal!

Some media outlets that followed suit immediately published commentary articles:

"The turning point of driving high and going low? Valencia reveals its true colors!"

He even started to fan the flames and provoke the relationship between the players and the club...

"Li Polo is very strong, but Valencia is not worthy of him!"

"Lee Polo should consider moving to a wealthy team!"

"The last choice is to go to Atletico Madrid!"
