Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 409 An opponent 4000 kilometers away

"Drip, drip, drip~~~"

Hazard also performed a crazy three-man pass in the last few minutes, but his determined shot was blocked by Maguire, and the football did not even fly past the penalty area...

Maguire, who was ruthlessly played by Li Polo again and again, turned into an unbreakable steel wall in the last 8 minutes, making Hazard return without success again and again!

The score of 5:1 was maintained until the end. With the momentum of three consecutive victories, Chelsea rose to the third place in the standings with 9 points, second only to Manchester United and Burnley with 10 points.

At the same time, Chelsea also topped the entire Premier League with 4 goals in 19 rounds. The second-ranked Manchester United scored 5 goals less than them.

And Lee Polo... In the 3 games he played, he scored 5 goals, 5 goals, and 4 goals respectively.

3 goals in 14 games, averaging 4.66 goals per game!
The entire Premier League couldn't help but tremble!

[The agreed Premier League goal has the highest gold content? 】

[He averaged less than 2 goals per game in La Liga, how could he directly double it in the Premier League? 】

The other 19 teams reached a tacit understanding on this day.

【Lee Polo Surrounding Net】, this is it!

Their biggest goal is not to prevent Chelsea from winning, but to show Lee Polo how cruel the Premier League is!

You don't want to keep the efficiency of averaging 4 goals per game for the whole season!

At most... at most 2 goals per game as last season!
This is the bottom line of the Premier League!

"The recent schedule... is a little unfriendly!"

After playing Leicester City, Chelsea's players did not get the 24-hour rest as before, but quickly regrouped for training.

Assistant coach Alessio looked at the schedule and said to everyone:
"Tomorrow we go to Azerbaijan for the first Champions League game of the season."

Conte, who was standing next to him, whistled:
"Azerbaijan...does anyone know about this country?"

Almost everyone laughed and shook their heads.

Alessio shrugged his shoulders, and took the information he had just searched to give everyone popular science and geography knowledge:

"Azerbaijan is located in the southeast of the Transcaucasus, with Armenia in the west, Iran and Turkey in the south, Russia in the north, and the Caspian Sea in the east. It faces Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan across the sea, with a population of 980 million..."

The closest hometown to Azerbaijan is Russian midfielder Golovin. He is the only player in Chelsea's first team who knows Azerbaijan.

His English is not very good, so he asked with some difficulty:
"Isn't that an Asian country? Why can they play in the Champions League?"

As we all know, most football players and coaches do not have any high education background. For a while, Alessio didn't know how to answer his question.

On the contrary, the other players in the Chelsea team were not surprised at all.

The experienced vice-captain Azpilicueta answered him in place of the coach:

"This is normal. The Asian Football Association can also apply to join UEFA. Two years ago, we played an away game in Israel. What was the name of that team? Does anyone remember?"

Only Remy raised his hand:

"It seems to be... Maccabi Tel Aviv, I was there at that game."

Azar glanced at him with some trepidation:
[This Lee Polo undercover agent...has a really good memory! 】

Lee Polo also showed his rich geographical knowledge:

"If I remember correctly, Kazakhstan also joined UEFA, they are much farther than Azerbaijan..."

Alessio nodded:

"Azerbaijan is about 2500 miles away from London, which is 4000 kilometers. The direct flight also takes 6 hours, so we won't have much training time tomorrow, and we will spend almost the entire afternoon on the plane."

He glanced at the schedule again:

"After playing this game, we will play Arsenal again at the weekend, and in the league next weekend, we will play Tottenham, and then there will be the League Cup. Overall, from September 9 to 11 , we will play four games within these 20 days..."

Hearing such a schedule, the meeting room suddenly howled.

Only physical madmen like Lee Polo and Kanter didn't react at all.

Fabregas, who is as physically fit, and Hazard, who has just returned from injury, can't help shaking their legs under the table!
However, substitute players like Caballero, Remy, Batshuayi, Golovin, Zapacosta, Cristo, and Christensen obviously have some expectations.

Although Chelsea's first team is known as 27 people, nearly one-third of them are young players promoted from the youth training team, such as Mount, Anderson, Tomori, and even Hudson-Odoi born in 2000.

No way, Chelsea has always been a "multinational coalition", and the main lineup only has two household registration books, Lee Polo and Cahill.

With the strength of these youth training youngsters, it is obviously not enough to occupy a place in the first team. The reason why they can appear in the squad is more just to sign up to complete the household registration policy stipulated by the FA...

After the players finished complaining, Conte finally spoke up:
"Playing 10 matches within 4 days is probably unbearable even for the Iron Man. What's more, I just finished playing the national team match last week, and three weeks later it will be a new round of national team match day..."

He paused before announcing his decision:

"So... for the first Champions League group match, I won't bring too many main players."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little quieter, and the players had different expressions on their faces.

Conte took a panoramic view of their expressions, and then announced the 18-man squad for the team:

"Caballero, Eduardo, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Criscito, Zapacosta, Tomori, Golovin, Kante, Remy, Moses, Scott, Batshuayi, Mount, Pedro, Anderson, Hazard..."

Many main players, including Courtois, Cahill, Luiz, Alonso, Fabregas, and William, have been excluded from the list.

Li Poluo immediately stood up:

"Coach, my physical fitness can completely fight continuously. Even if I play every game for 90 minutes, there is no problem for me!"

Batshuayi, Anderson, Hazard, even Remy... these players immediately wanted to cover his mouth!
【Do not!Brother, you need to rest too! 】

Conte keenly saw the micro-expressions of these players.

He smiled and nodded to Li Poluo:
"Of course I know that you are the number one physical madman in our team. Even Kanter is willing to admit that you are inferior, but... aren't you going to get married soon? I just want you to set aside a little more time Come to accompany the bride and prepare for the wedding at the same time."

It's hard to believe that this head coach, who looks like a fool, is very thoughtful:
"That way, you can give your all in the Arsenal-Tottenham game!"

Li Poluo pondered for three seconds, and finally agreed to the coach's arrangement.

This reason is too good.

Lee Polo really couldn't refuse.

As an affectionate man who openly took time off to spend his girlfriend's birthday, there was no way he could have told the manager:

"What kind of wedding is held! Let Lisanna worry about it alone!"

"Nothing is more important than slaughtering big teams in the Champions League!"

Not only that, but he also has to thank Conte for his thoughtfulness:

"I'll reserve a VIP seat for you on my wedding day!"

Then he looked at Hazard and other teammates, showing a gentle smile:
"Guys, kick it well."

"I'm in London, waiting for you to share the joy of victory!"

Azar couldn't help swallowing again.

He has been able to predict.

If this away trip can't be won, or even won't be exciting enough, then, in Lee Polo's mind, it will be difficult to keep even his position as an important partner!

[For this position, fight hard! 】
