Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 454 I don't want to meet you!

"drop!"

The referee blew his whistle sharply.

Everton's team doctors rushed onto the pitch and surrounded Rooney.

"Ow~"

Rooney was in so much pain that he burst into tears, but he heard a strange voice from his ear:

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"In order to prevent me from dribbling and shooting, do you not hesitate to cheat?"

"What about your sportsmanship?"

Rooney, whose instep bones were about to break, was so angry that he almost jumped up on the spot!

【Why didn't I kick him to death? ! 】

[Negative sentiment from Wayne Rooney, +1748! 】
-
Rooney's red card ended, making Everton, who was already 0:3 behind, completely lose hope.

Even after a half-time adjustment, they couldn't recover.

And...after the second half restarted, they saw in despair that Li Polo was unreasonably standing in the forward position again!
Cesc Fabregas, William, and Mount sent assists respectively. Li Polo raised his personal statistics to 5 goals in the second half, and then he accepted Conte's substitution order with satisfaction.

Adding Rudiger to the icing on the cake at the last time, Chelsea, who had a half-rotation lineup, left a 7:0 on the same half-rotation Everton!

Those more than 1 fans of the home team who knew that the team would lose felt that the world was not worth it in the bleak wind and rain at Goodison Park Stadium!

Since the head coach De Boer had been fired a week ago, the fans could only yell at other senior executives of the club:

[Fahad (Boss), Out! 】
-
In fact, this doomed defeat will not have any substantial impact on Everton's final results this season.

Except for the local media in Liverpool, most of the British media are paying attention to another game in this round.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City played at home... and lost to the team from the Championship - Wolverhampton Wanderers.

This team also has another simpler name: Wolves!
Facing this opponent from the British Championship, Guardiola did not pay special attention, but due to the head coach's reasons, he did not completely rotate.

Because... the head coach of the Wolves also has a bald head.

His name is very familiar: Nuno Santo!
In the summer of 2016, after leaving Valencia with the double title of La Liga and Copa del Rey, the Portuguese coach had no shortage of next home, and finally he chose the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain.

But in Paris, his character flaws quickly got him into trouble.None of the multiple transfer targets he demanded from Portugal were realized, which led to an irreconcilable conflict between him and club chairman Nasser.

In addition, he was not very good at mediating the atmosphere in the locker room, and he was too strict with the training, which caused many big-name players in the team to feel dissatisfied, and he was even less able to work during the game...

After only 20 rounds in the league, they were as many as 9 points behind the top of the table, and they were defeated 3-0 by their main competitor, Monaco.In the UEFA Champions League match in February, Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 2-4 at home, but was reversed by the opponent 0-1 in the second round... The unbearable Nasser did not even report, and directly kicked him out !
With a huge liquidated damages of 2000 million euros, Nuno went home and had a good rest for half a year, and then he came back out of the rivers and lakes after a painful experience.This time he drew on the experience of Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain, and instead of going to any giant team, he chose a team at the English Championship level.

The boss of Wolves gave him all the power he wanted, including allowing him to bring in a large number of Portuguese players!

Relying on the operation of super agent Mendes, the Wolves invested more than 2017 million pounds in the summer window of [-], thus having Diogo Jota, Ruben Neves, Miranda, Herder Costa , Vinagre, Ivan Cavaleiro and a large group of Portuguese players...

With such a huge investment, Nuno Santo was able to dominate the English Championship. He played 14 rounds in the league. They stabilized Sheffield United, Aston Villa, Cardiff City and other teams. Occupy the first place in the standings.

Compared with these big spenders who are aiming to surpass, the new Wimbledon, which only spent 4000 million in the transfer window in the summer, seems to be struggling...

Back to the topic, in this League Cup contest, Guardiola sent Aguero, Sterling, B seat, Toure, Danilo, Bravo, Mangala, Zinchenko and many other players. In the regular main lineup, De Bruyne, Sane, Delph, Stones, Walker and other players are on standby at any time on the bench, but they still fail to achieve the desired results.

In the 90 minutes of regular time, the two sides drew 0:0, and the 30 minutes of overtime were still nothing. The game could only enter a tragic penalty shootout.

At this time, the result of the game has nothing to do with the strength of the team. God decisively stood on Nuno Santo's side and let the Wolves beat Manchester City 5:4!

After hearing the news, Lee Polo sent a message to his old coach:
"Dear Nuno, congratulations!"

Santo replied modestly:
"Thank you, but we still have room for improvement, and we will definitely play better in the next game."

Li Poluo smiled and replied to him:
"I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in the League Cup!"

"..."

He waited for a long time, but did not receive a reply from the other party. Instead, he waited for a prompt message:
[Negative emotions from Nuno Santo, +69! 】

Santo can't sleep in his hotel in Manchester!
He finally returned a message to Lee Polo:
"Go away, I don't want to meet you on the field!"
-
Li Polo's wish did not become a reality. In the ensuing draw for the top 8 of the League Cup, Nuno Santo successfully avoided Chelsea and was in a group with the "Blue Fox" Leicester City.

As for Chelsea, the "cherry" Bournemouth was drawn.

If there is no accident, this will become an inevitable tragedy again!

In addition, Arsenal drew West Ham United, and Manchester United met Bristol - from the same Championship as Wolves.

The top 8 were able to squeeze into the two English Championship teams because Liverpool fell early in the third round, while Tottenham stopped in the fourth round like Manchester City. They were hammered by West Ham United.

This year's Premier League giants really can't do it! -
"The next round of the Carabao Cup is two months away on December 2, so we need to keep our eyes on that."

Conte had this to say in the second day's training session:
"We're going to play against... um, Bournemouth at the weekend?"

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the assistant.

Alessio smiled and spread his hands:

"You can think of it as a rehearsal."

Conte shrugged:

"Well, Bournemouth, which is temporarily ranked 17th in the standings, can you analyze it?"

Seeing that his opponent was a relegation loser, Conte suddenly lost interest, sat down directly, and pushed the work to his assistant.

Alessio coughed and opened the PPT:

"Bournemouth's overall strength is not very strong. They only won 9 games in the first 2 rounds, scored 6 goals and lost 13 goals. According to our simulation, as long as they play normally, even a lineup with a large rotation will not Can easily win."

After hearing his analysis, no one, including Conte, had any doubts.

This is a matter of course!

Several photos of players appeared on the screen one after another, and Alessio introduced them one by one:

"Here are a few key players to watch:
For example, Jermaine Defoe on the forward line, he is a veteran of the England national team and has very rich experience.

There is also this Joshua King, who is 187cm tall and has an advantage in competing for high-altitude balls.

There is also Jordan Ibe (also translated as Abby), who debuted in the Liverpool youth training camp, is very fast, good at inserting in the back row, and has a good long-range shot..."

The assistant coach paused briefly:
"In addition to these forwards, there are two players we are very familiar with in the Bournemouth team, the goalkeeper Begovic, and the central defender Ake..."

Conte crooked his mouth:
"Hopefully they are doing well at Bournemouth."

These two players were sold off by Chelsea in the summer of 2017 because they did not get a chance to play under Conte!
Fighting against their old club again, Ake and Begovic, who want to prove themselves, will definitely be full of fighting spirit!

They can't wait to punch the bum in the face!
