Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 790 Melo, let's go together!
"Messi's skills are still the best in football, but as long as he is on the field, Manchester City is equivalent to half a person missing."

Zhang Lu once made such an evaluation, and because of this, he suffered from online violence from Messi fans.

What he means is actually very simple. Today's Messi has obvious shortcomings in his physical fitness and running ability. He may be able to charge and explode in one or two major games, but when he needs to fight continuously, his weakness will be exposed.

But in this game, Director Zhang's evaluation obviously failed completely!

For this game, Messi, like Li Polo, did not participate in the previous national team game!

Because of his absence, Argentina lost both games!

Lost to rival Brazil 0:1, and lost 1:2 to Uruguay led by Suarez!
Fortunately, these two games are friendly matches, otherwise Messi will definitely become the sinner of the whole Argentina!

— but even so, he suffered fierce criticism in Argentina:
"Giving up the honor of the national team for the benefit of the club!"

"Li Polo and you are just a personal dispute, Brazil is Argentina's old enemy!"

"Even if it's just a friendly match, we don't want to lose to the Brazilian monkeys!"

"Knowing that he was going to play against Brazil, he ran away. He doesn't deserve to be an Argentine!"

……

"Ha... huh..."

Messi was bending over, panting slightly.

The game has entered the first half injury time period, no wonder he is so tired.

In the previous 45 minutes, he scored 1 goal and 2 passes, and also created a penalty kick.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick - including a penalty.

Aguero and Silva scored one goal each, De Bruyne sent two assists, and Manchester City's offensive players almost showed their best form.

But... now the score is 6:8, and the leading side is still Chelsea.

Lee Polo, he scored 6 goals alone!
In addition, he also sent an assist to William and made Otamendi foul + penalty!

It is equivalent to making 8 balls by himself!
In order to stop Lee Polo's advance, a total of 7 Manchester City players received yellow cards:

Otamendi, Stones, Cancelo, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Ronaldo, Messi...

That's right, in order to stop him, Ronaldo and Messi have risked everything! -
In fact, it's not that Manchester City's defense is full of holes, Chelsea is also very struggling.

The old captain Cahill sent a yellow card, Christensen got a yellow card, Alonso got a yellow card, and Zapa Costa, who replaced Moses, got a yellow card.

In order to limit Ronaldo's yellow cards, Azpilicueta even got a yellow card for defending his old friend Messi's counterattack because of the relatively safe head coach Cesc Fabregas!
In the 45 minutes of the first half alone, the number of yellow cards between Chelsea and Manchester City reached 6:8!

——Walker of the Manchester City team received a yellow card while defending Mount.

After 45 minutes, 14 cards were drawn in a row, and the referee Dean's hands were going to be numb!

The space behind the yellow card used to record the number... is not enough!
-
The narrator obviously noticed this kind of thing too.

Zhan Jun brought it up:
"In this duel between sparks and the earth, both sides are going all out. If this rhythm is followed, there may be many players with two yellows and one red in the second half!"

Zhang Lu agrees:

"In fact, the players on both sides are already very restrained, and their actions are not rough with each other, but...just because the level of both sides is too high, sometimes, the defensive side has no other way to stop the offensive side except for fouls!"

Zhan Jun glanced at the time:
"Because there were too many goals in the first half, the referee gave a 9-minute stoppage time, and now it will be..."

Before he finished speaking, Chelsea's left winger, Mount, suddenly made a sliding tackle and blocked the ball from the feet of Messi who was in possession of the ball!

Messi, who played for more than 50 minutes, was obviously slow to react. After losing the ball, he did not make an effective block, allowing Mount to kick the ball to Fabregas.

Although coach France is also very tired, he has not played too many times this season, and his physical consumption is much smaller than others. A diagonal pass finds William on the right!
——After all, Mangbao has already retreated so deep, the only strikers who can launch a counterattack are Li Poluo and William.

The Brazilian didn't even move half a step, he directly stretched out his foot to block, and bounced the ball to Li Polo who had started to go forward!
The King of the Blues just ran a few steps before throwing Stones away, and then went straight into Manchester City's penalty area!
Otamendi struggled to chase back, but saw that Li Polo was already on the right side of the penalty area and was about to swing his leg to shoot!
Edson can only seal the near corner, but he can't do anything about the far post!

Looking at the empty gate on the left, the Argentine iron guard put his heart on the line and slid the shovel directly to the ground!
He wants to help his goalkeeper to plug the loopholes behind him!

Hearing the sound of "dong", Li Polo volleyed into the far corner!
[I already knew that this guy would choose the far corner! 】

Otamendi was overjoyed!
[No matter how fast you are, you have forgotten a mathematical rule:
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest! 】

[If you catch the ball diagonally from the center to the right, it's definitely not as fast as my straight retreat! 】

But the next second, he couldn't be happier!
Although his right foot touched the ball shot by Li Polo, he failed to clear the ball!
This explosive shot was so powerful that the football was like a shot put. Otamendi couldn't kick it at all!

He could only watch helplessly as the football deflected slightly, and then flew into the empty goal of his own with precision and no one else!
9: 6!

Chelsea extended their lead to 3 goals!
The goal was scored by Manchester City defender Otamendi!

[The Argentine doesn't match my horoscope? 】

Guardiola on the sidelines couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

The Argentine striker conceded the goal in the frontcourt, and the Argentine defender scored an own goal! -
"Although Manchester City has worked very hard, the gap between them and Chelsea is still widening..."

Zhan Jun sighed.

Zhang Lu nodded slightly, and he asked a more realistic question:

"In the first half, the two sides seemed to be able to play to four or six, but the situation in the second half is very likely to fall to Chelsea. Because their physical fitness is more dominant!"

Zhan Jun quickly reacted:

"Yes, for Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo and Asuka are 34 years old, Silva is 33 years old, Messi is 32 years old, Aguero and Otamendi are also 31 years old. These players will never be like the first half. Running like hell.

And we all know that physical fitness has always been Lee Polo's strong point! "

Zhang Lu added another knife:

"Manchester City has more yellow card players! Once someone is sent off, their physical disadvantage will be more obvious!"

"After all, the team with Messi on the field is half missing!"
-
"Huh...Made, I can't keep up with the rhythm!"

In the visiting team's locker room, the old captain Cahill was panting and sweating profusely.

Even though he wiped it with a thick towel for a long time, he still couldn't stop the sweat from oozing out layer by layer.

No one laughed at him for being so unbearable, he was so tired after only half of the game.

Since last season, the captain of the card has gradually been reduced to a substitute, giving way to Rudiger and Christensen. He only rotated in some cup games and games with big teams. This time because of Rudiger's injury , he got the chance to start, but he didn't expect that the defensive pressure would far exceed his imagination!
You know, the opponent he is responsible for marking is Messi!
Alonso, who serves as the left wing-back, has difficulty providing enough support to Cahill in terms of speed, while Manchester City's right midfielder De Bruyne will often advance to participate in the attack!

Fabregas also knows how important the position of central defender is. If there is no accident, Cahill and Christensen will rest in the second half, but Tomori is the only Zhengyin central defender on the bench...

Just when he was worrying, a voice echoed:
"Cesc, let me play as a defender!"

Fabregas was furious:
"Syshsk? As I said a long time ago, in the locker room, call me..."

Probably because he used his IQ to think about tactics, he accidentally ignored the situation he was in.

When Director Fa saw the speaker's appearance, his IQ regained the high ground and quickly swallowed the "boss":
"Are you sure you're going to defend? I'm not particularly satisfied with the advantage in the first half!"

Li Poluo glanced at him:
"You also received a yellow card, let Mount retreat in the second half, and Abraham will play forward!"

Coach Fa couldn't help but blush.

Lord Li is criticizing him face to face for his weak defense!
This is also true. Except for the first two years of his debut, Cesc Fabregas is a technical midfielder. He was even used as a striker when he was in Barcelona and the Spanish national team. When he needs to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent up?
-
After 15 minutes, players from both sides switched sides and fought again.

"Chelsea took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Captain Cahill and coach Cesc Fabregas went off at the same time. They were replaced by teenagers Abraham and Chike, eh?"

Zhan Jun was a little worried.

The same is true for Zhang Lu:

"Although Cheek is over 1.9 meters tall, he has never played as a central defender, has he?"

For Manchester City, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Cahill's physical fitness has declined in an all-round way, he has rich experience, tacit understanding with his teammates, and command ability over the defense line. The comprehensive strength of the defense will undoubtedly drop a notch!
But when Chelsea's players were completely settled, Guardiola realized...he was too happy too early!
Chelsea's defensive strength has not declined at all because of Cahill's end!
On the contrary, it has been improved by two grades!

Christensen is in charge of the left half, Azpilicueta is in charge of the right side, and Li Polo wipes everyone's ass!
He glanced at Ronaldo, then at Messi, and hooked his hands in two directions:

"Come on together!"

[Negative emotions from Ronaldo, +7481! 】

[Messi, +5114! 】

[Aguero, +9999! 】

—— Akun, who is obviously the center of Zhengyin, was never seen by Li Poluo from the beginning to the end!
