Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 624 "I am eager to improve!"

"Let us look forward to, in the new 2018-2019 season, who can challenge Chelsea, which has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive years?"

"Who can challenge...the strongest man in the football world in the past two seasons?!"

Before the official start of the new season, the Premier League officials, as usual, shot short films for each club, which were edited into the official promotional videos of the Premier League.

Unlike any season in the past, this season is neither a battle for hegemony, a Big6 battle, nor a battle between two heroes or a tripartite confrontation, but an unprecedented new situation:
Chelsea, which owns Lee Polo, will meet the challenges of the other 19 teams as the king of the world.

There are only two hottest topics about the Premier League at the moment:
Who can make the Blues, who only lost one game last season, hand over their first blood?

Who can stop Lee Polo, who scored 121 goals in the Premier League last season, from scoring goals?
At the end of the promotional video, Li Polo, dressed in blue, sits on the majestic Iron Throne, raises his chin, and challenges the heroes of the world, and also sends an invitation to the global audience:
"bring it on!
I am waiting for you in the Premier League! "

Just watching Lee Polo's handsome face in the promotional video, the whole of England couldn't help but feel an indescribable anger:

[Negative sentiment from supporters of the other 19 Premier League teams, +191919! 】

Friday, January 8th.

The new season of the Premier League has finally kicked off.

The first big show dedicated to the global audience was the Red Devils Manchester United and the Blue Foxes Leicester City.

At Old Trafford, facing Leicester City, which is far inferior to their own strength, Mourinho's team still adopted a steady and conservative defensive counterattack.

They gave up possession of the ball in the midfield and relied on counterattack tactics to launch a fatal blow to Leicester City's defense.

As a result, in their first counterattack in the first 2 minutes of the game, the defender of the Blue Fox side fouled with a handball in the penalty area and gave the home team a penalty kick!
Pogba achieved it overnight and won a fantastic start for the team!

After that, it entered a long confrontation stage. The best performer on the field turned out to be goalkeeper De Gea. With his high-block performance, he resolved the two almost inevitable shots of Vardy and Maguire. The score of 1:0 was maintained until the second half.

During this period, Manchester United did not fail to get a chance, but Lukaku and Sanchez lost a single shot one after another, and Morata put the ball directly on the second-floor stand, wasting many opportunities to expand the score.

In the 83rd minute, the new aid Fred intercepted the ball accurately, Mata sent a diagonal pass in the middle, and Luke Shaw broke into the penalty area after getting rid of the defense, and successfully scored with a small angle shot, 2:0!

Leicester pressed hard in the final minutes, eventually scoring a goal in stoppage time with Jamie Vardy, but still lost the game.

Mourinho won a good start to the new season, but public opinion all over the world is not optimistic about him.

Because, this is already Mourinho's third season in charge of Manchester United!
"Three years of Mu" has always been a big curse in football!
Whether it was the first time he came to Lia and Porto, or the Chelsea, Inter, and Real Madrid that made him reach the pinnacle of his life, or the second phase of the car and Manchester United after gradually getting rid of his magic power... 7 teams of different levels, but none of them can Let him stay for three full years.

Especially in the second phase of Real Madrid and Cars. In the third season, Mourinho will detonate the time bomb in the locker room, and the teams he has stayed in will also become a mess.

Everyone is waiting with great anticipation. Will Magic Bird survive the third year safely in Manchester United, the top player in football? -
"Manchester United's game was really ugly. Against a mere Leicester City, the ball possession rate was only 45%."

Looking at Mourinho who raised his arms and shouted on the screen, Li Polo curled his lips in disdain:
"It's been almost 20 years since he debuted, and he still has the earliest set of defensive and counterattack tactics, with almost no substantial changes. Such a coaching philosophy is simply not suitable for being the head coach of a wealthy team!"

Conte nodded slightly in agreement:

"Indeed, he is only suitable for leading the team to achieve short-term results, but not for the long-term development of a team until the establishment of a dynasty."

Azar also echoed:
"His thinking is a little too rigid."

Conte grinned slightly. He didn't speak, but everyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

As Mourinho's successor, he is happy to hear the two big men in the team criticize his predecessor's shortcomings together, so that he will appear more suitable for Chelsea today.

After happily watching the final stoppage time, Conte patted his ass:

"Let's go to the press conference."
-
When Mourinho started his first post-match press conference of the new season, Lee Polo also started his first pre-match press conference.

Chelsea's first-round opponent is Huddersfield, which ranked 17th last season, only 3 points away from relegation.

In this summer window, they introduced six new aids including Dortmund defender Durm in one go, but the total investment was less than 4500 million euros.

Perhaps due to the global economic downturn, in the summer of 2018, the entire Premier League and even the European transfer market were a bit sluggish.

Except for Liverpool, which spent [-] million in one breath for signings, other teams were very sensible when signing.

Huddersfield's transfer fee of 4500 million euros is not the bottom of the 20 clubs in the Premier League, and there are many teams that are more stingy than him.

For example, the new Wimbledon, holding high the banner of "free transfer + free loan", they spent 2300 million...

Cardiff City, which has also just been promoted to the Premier League, only spent 3000 million on signings.

For example, "Bumblebee" Watford, which only cost 2000 million.

Another example is the "King of London" Crystal Palace, which only cost 1300 million.

Even the veteran team "Magpies" Newcastle United only spent 3500 million in the summer.

Of course, Chelsea's expenses are also pitifully small. Navas's is given away as a fraction of Courtois's, and Barrios only spent 1000 million.

I have to mention that among the 20 teams in the Premier League, the last one to spend money is unexpectedly the fifth-ranked Tottenham Hotspur!

Perhaps due to the negative impact of last season's failure to compete for the top four, Tottenham's enthusiasm in the summer window was very low. Although there were a few rumors, until August 8, the penultimate day before the summer window closed, they also There were no signings, only one loaned player returned to the team because his contract expired...

Completely 0 signings!
-
"I am eager to achieve a new breakthrough in the new season, so I hope everyone can supervise me, spur me, and motivate me."

Li Polo, who was sitting at the speech booth, looked sincere:
"This breakthrough is reflected in... I hope that when I face every opponent, I can score more goals than last season!"

The reporters sitting below couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

Many people began to "crackle" the calculator or the calculator in the mobile phone.

Even if each game only scored one more goal than last season, in 38 league rounds and 38 matches, Lee Polo would have scored 38 more goals than last season!
上个赛季李波罗一共打进了121粒联赛进球，这意味着……如果他能打满所有38轮联赛，就要打进121+38=159球！
He wanted to take the scoring record he had just set...to a new level again!
