Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 197
"Drip, drip, drip~~~"

When the referee Kroos blew the final whistle, the score finally ended at 2:1.

After 90 minutes of mad attack, Barcelona still failed to recover the score again, but at the last moment, it once again exposed the gap in the defense. Andre Gomez, who was played as a substitute, scored a long shot.

Valencia passed Barcelona with a total score of 6:2 in the two rounds, and advanced to the final with their heads held high. Their opponent, Sevilla, also eliminated Celta Vigo 6:2.

The Spanish media was somewhat surprised to find that:

This season is the first time since 2010 that both Real Madrid and Barcelona will miss the Copa del Rey final!

Needless to say, Real Madrid were disqualified for using Cheryshev in the first round because of violations...

As for Barcelona, ​​they eliminated the three teams of Villalonis, Espanyol, and Athletic Bilbao all the way. The scores were quite different in each round, but they did not expect to be double-killed by Valencia!

Valencia Vs Sevilla... Such a Copa del Rey final can be called the most miserable match in the 21st century!
But for Valencia's coaches and players, such an opponent is simply telling themselves:

"At least one championship must be won this year!"
-
Like the FA Cup in England, as an official cup, the Copa del Rey final is also scheduled for May.

So before that, Valencia has to concentrate on dealing with the league.

On the second day after defeating Barcelona, ​​Li Polo, who came to the Patna training base early, saw a strange figure.

This guy was slightly taller than him by an inch, with thick knuckles and a pair of gloves under his armpit. He was obviously a goalkeeper.

After seeing Li Polo enter the arena, the other party greeted him warmly:
"Hi! You must be Polo, I'm Diego Alves, the team's goalkeeper."

Li Poluo also responded immediately, sending his own hug without any hesitation:

"Hahaha, Diego, today is our first official meeting! Welcome back to the team!"

The goalkeeper joined Valencia in 2011 and is one of the oldest players in the current team. However, he accidentally sprained the cruciate ligament last summer, and the operation was not successful, which led to his slow recovery and was directly absent. For most of the season...

"Thank you, brother."

Alves put on his gloves and tilted his head to him:

"I know that you are not only the ace in our team, but also the top scorer in the league. As a goalkeeper, I will not miss the opportunity to compete with a top scorer like you. How about, let's have a warm-up activity?"

Of course he also has his own little thoughts.

The 8-month recovery period made him completely miss the tactical running-in with the entire team, especially the new defensive general. They hardly understand each other, let alone tacit understanding.

He already knew that Lee Polo's current status in the team was extraordinary, so he wanted to show his strength in front of this teammate even more.Then use the facts to prove that even if he recovers from a serious injury, he still has the qualifications to start!
Lee Polo didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Matthew Ryan, who had been training with him for two months before, was obviously depressed when he was repeatedly unable to play, and he couldn't find anyone at all recently.Now that the stronger No. [-] goalkeeper asks him for additional training, of course he can't wait for it!
[Let you see how strong my shooting ability is as the number one shooter in La Liga! 】

Lee Polo picked a football from his bag, stepped on the edge of the penalty area, and prepared to take a long shot to warm up everyone.

Unexpectedly, Alves smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the 12 yard point:

"It's too far away, let's just stay here."

Li Poluo couldn't help raising his eyebrows:

"Are you sure you want to catch the penalty?"

Alves nodded confidently:

"I have a little bit of experience with penalty kicks."

Since he said so, how could Li Poluo be polite to him, and moved forward 6 meters away, and after three steps of run-up, there was a powerful and heavy cannon!

As a defender with a shooting attribute as high as 30, he doesn't have much skill in kicking penalties, just do it!

The ball he kicked was like a blockbuster, whistling and flying to the right side of the goal, the speed was extremely fast and the direction was very stable.

But Alves' reaction speed was not slow at all. He took a big step to the left, and the whole mermaid jumped up, and even held the ball out with one palm at the moment when the ball was about to fly over the goal line!

Then the 31-year-old goalkeeper rolled on the spot, stood up neatly, and nodded to Li Polo with a smile on his face:

"Great power and speed, but lacking a little bit of finesse. That's my favorite type of shot to save. If you could go for a little more angle, the quality of the penalty would have been perfect."

Lee Polo didn't say anything.

[Who didn't know that it would be safer to kick the corner? 】

[But... do you think I can kick in? 】

Alves reacted instantly, and his face was a little embarrassed.

【Made, don't be self-defeating and piss off the self-esteem of this future star! 】

He coughed, and tentatively continued to extend the invitation:
"There is still half an hour, shall we continue to practice for a while?"

Li Boluo is gearing up:
"That's what you said, before the training starts, you are not allowed to escape!"

This time, he showed no mercy and dumped all the football in the net pocket into the penalty area.

Then Li Polo rolled up his sleeves, showing a ferocious smile:

"You have to be ready, see if I don't shoot you into a sieve!"
-
On February 2, they will welcome their 14th round opponent at home - Barcelona's city rival, the Spaniard.

One night before facing the Spaniard, Li Polo also welcomed Lisanna who flew in from London.

"Uh, I'm not prepared for anything."

Li Poluo was really surprised, because this girlfriend didn't greet him, so that he had already sent the flowers and gifts for Valentine's Day to Lisanna's school in time. Before noon, I will definitely receive a loving gift of up to 200 yuan from myself...

Lisanna put her arms around his neck, hanging on his body like a sloth:

"I don't want to spend this holiday alone!"

She blinked, showing a vigilant look:

Li Poluo stretched out his hand to support her, and subconsciously kneaded her:
"Eighteen? Do you want me to die?"

Lisanna's waist twisted a few times, and suddenly her ears turned red:
"You open your hands."

"?"

Li Boluo was stunned for a moment, but he still obeyed obediently.

……

"Drip~"

[Shooting: 30→31! 】

[Ball control: 52 → 53! 】

[Pass: 30 → 31! 】

[Physique: 80 → 81! 】

After hard training, Lee Polo's attributes have been improved again.

If Alves knew all this, his heart would bleed:

[Is the shooting that you and I practice every day really useful? 】
-
Eighteen hours later, Li Poluo entered the state of preparation for the battle with his waist supported.

In the dressing room before the game, assistant coach Rui Pedro was still speaking:

"To tell you a piece of news: Barcelona slaughtered Celta Vigo 6:1 at Camp Nou, Suarez made three shots and two passes, Messi made one goal and two passes, and missed a penalty kick..."

Nuno took up the topic:
"Dignified Barcelona, ​​now they can only find dignity in relegation teams like Celta Vigo. They are in front of us, but they can't hold their heads up at all!"

The players laughed happily.

——At this time, no one will ask Nuno any questions:
"Since we are so strong, why do we have to play defensive and counterattack tactics at home in the end?"

Players don't need to think about so many things!

Just follow the coaching team to drink chicken soup and beat chicken blood!
Nuno suddenly noticed that the ace's thigh, which had been very active in the locker room, was a little silent today.

When the game was only half an hour away, Li Polo actually found the team's massage therapist João Lapa:

"Hurry up and press the waist muscles!"

Nuno's little heart was suddenly suspended, and he couldn't help but draw a big cross on his chest:

"Thigh, Mustafi has been suspended for accumulating yellow cards, so don't get hurt!"
