Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 294
"La Liga is so dark!"

Li Polo, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, couldn't help complaining.

Lisanna, who was having a video with her best friend Mira, comforted her without looking back:
"Just take it as a week off, and you can spend time with me, won't you?"

Li Poluo looked at his increasingly thin body:
"If I continue to rest, my shooting skills will break through again!"

Without understanding his connotation, Lisanna pointed the camera of her mobile phone at her waist:

"Mila, I feel like I've lost weight recently! Look at my waist, it's all lined!"

There was an envious voice from the phone:

"Really, how do you do it? Do you work out every day? Are you so happy to have a boyfriend who is a football player?"

Lisanna proudly imparted her experience to her best friend:
"I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, eat barbecue, eat seafood, drink milk tea, drink beer, drink coke, go shopping, watch dramas, skin care, beauty, and then continue to sleep..."

Mira was silent for a while, and finally asked a question:
"You are sleeping, can you explain it to me carefully?"

Since Real Madrid is going to play the Club World Cup, Valencia can only have a bye in the 16th round of the league, so Neville simply gave everyone a five-day holiday.

If there wasn't another Copa del Rey game in ten days, Valencia could have been on holiday until after Christmas, which would be equivalent to a three-week holiday, which is rare for professional players in a hundred years!
Especially the Premier League players, their eyes burst with envy!
"Guys, watch the Champions League draw!"

Lee Polo, who was about to get up for lunch, received a message from his assistant coach Worrow in the group.

He slapped his head and changed the TV channel.

Ceferin, President of UEFA, is introducing the rules of the draw in a blah blah blah.

It is nothing more than the three principles of avoidance with the same group, avoidance with the Football Association, and Russia-Ukraine avoidance. Since there is no Russian-Ukrainian team in the top 16 this year, there are even fewer situations that need to avoid.

With the start of the lottery, the Valencia chat group gradually became lively, especially Zakaria, who was never at peace for a moment.

Zakaria:

"I want to play Bayern!"

“Paris is good too!”

"Don't draw teams like Benfica and Porto!"

"Playing against a weak team doesn't reflect our strength at all!"

Gary Neville suddenly said:
"If the fish belly is drawn, I originally wanted you to start."

"..."

After ten seconds of silence, Zakaria popped up again:
"I love the Portuguese Super League team!"

Although Lee Polo's memory is not very clear, the result of this lottery seems to be not much different from history.

Since the second round of the group includes Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​and Paris, the five giants, so no matter how you draw, a strong duel is inevitable.

Arsenal, who finally won the top spot in Group A, was given to their old enemy Bayern. The Bundesliga overlord seems to have been deliberately snatched by Atletico Madrid to the top spot in the group, just to wait to meet Arsenal again.

Naples, the first in Group B, met Real Madrid, the strongest second in the group, and their fate was almost exactly the same as that of Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid, the No. [-] in Group D, met Manchester City on a narrow road, and Guardiola once again encountered a strong challenge from the La Liga team.

Barcelona, ​​No. [-] in Group E, drew Paris and became the most anticipated matchup in the group stage.

Dortmund, No. [-] in Group F, encountered Benfica. It seems that the suspense is not too great.

Group G's No. [-] Leicester City and Sevilla formed a duel that no one cares about, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

Juventus, No. 100 in Group H, drew Porto, with [-]% walks.

As for Valencia, the top player in Group C, the only choice left for them is... Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League.

For this opponent, the professional commentator Gary Neville gave his own evaluation very accurately:

"Pays great attention to flank advancement, fast passing on the ground, active midfield running, and forwards are good at grasping opportunities."

Neville Jr highlighted several key players:
"Forward Kane, midfielders Eriksson and Alli, full-back Walker, central defenders Vertonghen and Alderweireld."

Volo added a little reference data:
"They ranked third in the Premier League last season and are currently ranked fifth. But they can beat Manchester City 2:0 at home and draw Liverpool and Arsenal 1:1 away. Their strength should not be underestimated."

The players said:
"When we finish our vacation, we will seriously study this opponent."

Zakaria asked weakly:
"Is this Tottenham... a fish belly?"

Less than 10 hours before the end of the draw for the Champions League knockout round, the "French Football" magazine announced the final winner of the 2016 Ballon d'Or.

There is not much suspense. Ronaldo, who won the Champions League, European Cup, and European Super Cup as an absolute core, won the fourth Ballon d'Or in his life, second only to Messi who has five goals in football history.

Ronaldo scored an absolute high of 715 points, and Messi, who ranked second, only scored 258 points, barely reaching one-third of Ronaldo's.

Griezmann ranked third with 178 points by virtue of the Champions League + European Cup double runner-up.

After all, it is the year of the European Cup, and European stars have a natural advantage in winning votes.

The fourth Suarez scored 99 points with La Liga + European double golden boots.

Although he has the three collective honors of La Liga champion, Spanish Copa del Rey champion and Spanish Super Cup champion, Lee Polo, who did not participate in the European Cup at all, only ranked fifth with 87 points.

Lee Polo should be content.

After that came Neymar, Bell, Mahrez, Vardy, Buffon, Pepe, Aubameyang, Ibrahimovic and other players.

A year ago, he was a defender of the League Two team. A year later, he has become a top star in La Liga, and he can easily earn tens of millions of euros a year.

After all, no award will be completely fair. When the judges score, they will inevitably favor players with deeper qualifications, better statistics, and more honors.

Li Poluo's leaping speed is really too fast!

Thinking about it again, Lewandowski, Bayern's striker, is not as good as Li Polo. He only scored a poor 3 points...

3 points are 3 points, even if he is the champion of the Bundesliga, German Cup and German Super Cup, even if he wins the Bundesliga and German Cup double golden boots, even if he leads Poland to the quarterfinals of the European Cup, which is unprecedented. The judges scored no impact.

And Benzema, who is also a superstar, was affected by various negative news. He was permanently expelled from the French team, which obviously affected the ratings of French magazines. In the end, he didn't even get 1 point...

On December 12, Valencia, which ended its vacation, ushered in the last opponent of 22 at home.

They will play Leganes in the second leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey at the Mestalla Stadium.

The score of 3:1 in the first round has already made the second round meaningless, not to mention that the Bat Corps still had a rotation in that game.

After 11 days of rejuvenation, Valencia, which played the main force, did not give the opponent any chance. Lee Polo staged a hat-trick, Rodrigo, DePaul, and Van Dijk made contributions one after another, a clean 6: 0, sweep the opponent out!

Looking at the energetic players, Gary Neville also announced happily:

"Merry Christmas in advance everyone!"

"See you in 2017!"

The week-long winter break has begun!
