Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 204 This score is not safe

"We played well for a while after the start, but Kompany's injury changed the balance... Things got out of hand and that's my responsibility..."

In the post-match press conference, Pellegrini took the blame for the defeat.

Nuno Santo said that he is a tactical genius:
"I know some players in the Manchester City team, so I deliberately put Polo as a striker. Facts have proved that my tactics are very successful. Polo has a superb level in fighting for high-altitude balls. It is difficult for ordinary defenders to prevent him from winning the ball. Quan. The only pity is that he played a little slack in the second half, so I replaced him."

Li Polo, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but rolled his eyes:
【Where did I relax?It is obvious that you insist on changing the tactics of crossing from the side, and want to practice the routine of passing and cutting on the ground, but I, with a shooting attribute of only 31... I just failed to score a goal after 4 consecutive shots! 】

But instead of embarrassing the head coach in front of the camera, he nodded repeatedly:
"The coach is right. I still need to improve my shooting skills. I hope I can continue to be a forward!"

[Negative emotions from Paco, +6! 】

Seeing the live broadcast, the second shooter in the team who was changing in the locker room was so angry that he threw away the towel in his hand:
"Can Li Polo play as a striker? He can't score such a simple one-handed goal! Quickly kick me back as a defender!"

Just listen to Li Poro continue to say:

"Manchester City is actually a very strong team, both economically and competitively. It's just that they are in a little trouble now. But this should not be a problem. I believe they will become the leader of the entire European football team next season. A force that cannot be ignored!"

Pellegrini sitting under the stage turned black!

[Just next season? 】

[You might as well read my ID number directly! 】

[Negative emotions from Peigong, +66! 】
-
The 5-0 slaughter of Manchester City at home made the second round of the game completely lost suspense.

After all, in the 2015-16 season, 3:0 in the first round was still a very safe score...

In this way, Valencia became the first team to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Even the most unreliable betting agencies closed the handicap for Manchester City's advancement and only kept the predicted score.

As for other games:
Arsenal were scored twice by Barcelona at their own gate, and they were only one step away from being eliminated.

Real Madrid also defeated Roma 2:0 in the away game, and neither of the Western Super League duo was behind.

Only Atletico Madrid pulled their hips and shook hands with Eindhoven 0:0 in the away game, and was immediately expelled from the "Western Super League" by the media...

Paris beat Chelsea 2:1 at home, Benfica beat Zenit 1:0 at home, and Dynamo Kyiv beat Wolfsburg 3:2 at home. There is still enough suspense in these three matchups. There is hope for either side.

In the strong duel between Bayern and Juventus, the two sides played inextricably inseparable in Italy.In the away game, Bayern scored goals successively from Muller and Arjen Robben, once gaining a two-goal advantage, but they just relaxed, and the tenacious old woman continued to show power in 15 minutes by Dybala and Sturaro , Evened the score to 2:2, and kept the suspense in the second round.

Watching them play so hard, what could the Valencia fans not be satisfied with?

Satisfied, Nuno Santo gave all the team members a 36-hour rest period, which is a small reward.

The time was too short for Li Polo to fly to London for special training. Fortunately, Diego Alves has been energetic recently and was pulled by him as a strong man to continue training.

One wants to get back to his peak state quickly, and the other wants to improve his shooting skills, and the two complement each other perfectly.

As a result, when the 36-hour vacation was over, Nuno told them:
"In the next round of the league, I decided to adopt a rotation lineup, so that you absolute main players can continue to rest well!"

Now that the league leads so much, it is a normal strategy for the coaching staff to want to rotate, not to mention that the opponent in the next round - Athletic Bilbao, has lost three consecutive rounds and is in a very sluggish state.

Two days later, on February 2, the Bat Legion sat at home and ushered in the 28th-ranked Basque Lions.

The team's second shooter Paco leads, Negredo, Piatti, DePaul, Zakaria, Fuego, Barragan, Orban, Vizzo, Ayala, Domenech and other rotation players All of them went into battle, and it seemed that they were full of talents. No one thought that they would lose to opponents who had no desires and no desires at home.

Sure enough, Valencia, who played at home, quickly gained the advantage of the situation, and with Paco scoring a goal in the 34th minute, this advantage became more stable.

After 65 minutes, Nuno replaced the two youth players Barbosa and Tropi in his spare time, but he did not expect Bi Bao to replace Aduriz and San Jose at the same time!

Just five minutes later, San Jose assisted forward Sabine Merino to tie the game.

Seeing the players of the visiting team who not only did not celebrate after scoring a goal, but picked up the football and accelerated back to the center circle, Nuno smelled an ominous smell, and immediately shouted at Li Polo who was on the bench:
"Warm up, hurry up!"

But when Li Polo just took off his jacket and started to stretch his hamstrings on the sidelines, Bilbao scored another goal from the left winger Muniain!
1:2, the Basque Lions complete the reversal!

In the 78th minute, Li Polo finally came on as a substitute. He replaced Negredo, who was doing nothing, and directly stood at the forefront of the striker!

Barragan, Piatti, Zakaria and other players began to frantically send shells to the center, but Li Polo was surrounded by two central defenders from Bilbao!

Echeta at 1.8 meters 1.8, Laporte at [-] meters [-]!

If such defensive strength is not enough, then add the 1.8-meter-seven San Jose!
Without enough support, Lee Polo couldn't give full play to his proud air superiority!

Even if he can grab the cross, he can't complete the header under heavy interference!

In the 83rd minute, he finally used the plug-in + running position to grab a header in the double-team, but this time the header lacked strength and speed, and was easily resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper Elisos, and took advantage of the situation to hit a counterattack!
Valencia's overall defense line was too high, and this fast break completely overwhelmed them!
The old and strong Aduriz rushed into the penalty area before Orbán and Wezzo, and completed the final fatal blow!
3: 1!

In the silence of [-] fans at the scene, Athletic Bilbao defeated the mighty Valencia!

Although Li Polo, who only played for 12 minutes, grabbed 3 header chances, he failed to get half a point for the team...

The joy of killing Manchester City 5-0 just four days ago dissipated without a trace, and the entire locker room fell into an embarrassing and embarrassing mood.

As the head coach, Nuno did not deliver any inspiring speeches, he just went silent for a while, then pushed the door out.

On the contrary, it was the famous player of the team, Wo Luo, who comforted the rotation players who played today one by one:
"Relax, we are still ahead in the standings, one loss is not the end of the world!"

But it's not easy for everyone.

Valencia, who lost unexpectedly in this round, is still leading the league, but their lead has been threatened!
主场2:1艰难战胜塞维利亚的巴塞罗那，从62分提升到了65分，距离66分的瓦伦西亚，只有1分的差距！

——By the way, Real Madrid lost 0:1 to Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu, and they are one step away from the league championship.

Spanish public opinion was in an uproar, and the vast majority of people firmly believed:

If nothing else, Zidane looks like he will dismiss get out of class at any time!
