football's number one madman

Chapter 208 The Wall of Sighs
"Li Polo! You have to watch him at the critical moment!"

Shen Fangjian raised his voice involuntarily:
"He has refreshed his personal league goals to 23 goals! He is second only to Ronaldo in the scorer list!"

Jia Tianning also smiled, but his evaluation method was much more subtle:

"Li Polo really needs to improve himself, he can't just rest on the achievements of the past and sleep on it!
Looking at the past two rounds of the league, the opponents are just fish belly in the middle and lower reaches, but he couldn't score a goal.

It's also hard for us to imagine that a top superstar has fallen into a 2-game scoring drought!
It can also be seen from this aspect that there is indeed a big gap between the current Lee Polo and the top football players! "

Shen Fangjian almost spit water when he heard that:

【Are you still a human? 】

[A 2-game scoring drought? 】

[He seems to be a defender! 】
-
Lee Polo, who had just ended his scoring drought, did not make any celebrations. He just rushed into the goal, bent over to scoop the ball out, and then quickly ran towards the center circle.

At the same time, he waved his arms vigorously, conveying his determination to his teammates and all the fans:
"We don't accept draws!"

"Step into him again!"

The fast Feiguli caught up with him and patted him on the back forcefully:

"Good job! That's the momentum!"

Rodrigo on the other side is also full of fighting spirit:
"Just wait for me to pass the ball to you!"

Only Paco muttered a few words with an aggrieved face:
"Okay, you will act as the fulcrum, let me grab some shots?"

"Why do you have all the scenery now?"

"And you're using me to give you pick-and-rolls!"

"A man's mouth, a liar!"
-
Valencia's offensive, which equalized the score, became stronger and stronger. Atletico Madrid, which was already fully contracted, could not even walk out of their half-court area in the 20-minute game.

The ball possession ratio between the two sides during this period has reached 68:32!

"Valencia's two wingers frequently sent high-altitude crosses. Their intention is very clear. They want to use Li Polo's header ability to create murderous intentions inside the penalty area."

How could Shen Fangjian fail to understand, but his brows were always furrowed:
"It's just that Atletico Madrid also saw their tricks. Their two sides have been defending very hard. Even Griezmann has been involved in defense, whether it is Rodrygo, Figuli, or Gaya and Kansai. Luo, couldn't get the ball comfortably, resulting in poor pass quality, and it was difficult for Li Polo to form an attack..."

Jia Tianning still hasn't forgotten his original intention, and continues to look for angles:

"However, despite the low quality of his teammates' passes, Li Polo still managed to win 4 high-altitude ball opportunities, just like the header just now. If it weren't for Oblak's brave performance, the score would have been rewritten long ago!"

He is not boasting, Oblak was indeed a top goalkeeper at his peak, especially this season, his save success rate reached an astonishing 86%, what Neuer, De Gea, Navas, Buffon, Joe Hart and Donnarumma were completely beaten by him in front of this statistic!

In the 86th minute, Oblak, who had a save success rate of 86%, faced another challenge. Valencia's left king Gaya suddenly stepped in from the back row. He shook off Griezmann's entanglement and made a diagonal pass. Entering the penalty area, Li Polo headed back after resisting Jimenez. Paco, who had been waiting for the opportunity, shot the ball with one kick!
His position... is less than five meters away from the goal line!
But Oblak didn't panic at all. He took a step sideways and quickly lowered his center of gravity. With his long legs stretched out, he blocked Paco's shot from close at hand out of the penalty area!

Paco knelt directly in front of Oblak!

[It's not that I can't shoot fast, it's that he is faster than me! 】

Even Li Polo was saved from the psychological shadow by Oblak. Looking at the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper who was almost split, Li Polo couldn't help but blow.

The breeze stirred his bangs, but he heard boos.

He froze for a moment.

[Even if there is no goal, these fans will not boo, right? 】

The boos not only did not stop, but became louder.

Li Polo turned around suddenly, and saw Cork's long pass, piercing through Valencia's weak defense!

The target of their attack is the left side of the Bat Legion!
And Gaya, who was supposed to guard that area, just pressed too far ahead, and didn't have time to return to defense!

Griezmann is running wild!

His speed wasn't top-notch, but he didn't have any problems bullying Wei Zuo!
Wei Zuo glanced at Mustafi, and finally rushed out head-on desperately.

[Griezmann must not be allowed to completely speed up! 】

His determination was admirable, but his defense made a big mistake!
Griezmann didn't even make any feints, just stretched out his foot, and the football slipped through Wezzo's legs!

Crotch piercing!

Mustafi hadn't even prepared himself for despair before he had to face the one-on-one attack of Atletico Madrid's ace!

He stretched out his hands almost without hesitation, ready to block his opponent with the most primitive movements.

[This place is still outside the restricted area, at most... only a red card! 】

But just as he was about to make a "heroic sacrifice", Mustafi heard a loud roar from behind:
"Let him in!"

Mustafi subconsciously stopped reaching out to intercept, and Griezmann took the opportunity to break into the penalty area!

Alves took a deep breath, and Nuno Santo on the sidelines took a deep breath.

[Valencia today can accept losing, but can't accept red cards for the defense! 】

[Mustafi has already received a red card this season. If he receives a red card again, he will be banned for more games, which will have a greater impact on Valencia's final rounds! 】

Even Lee Polo was almost pissed off by him:

[If Mustafi is banned for three or five games, he can only obediently become a full-time defender! 】

Alves' calmness had no effect on conceding the ball. Griezmann still felt stable on his feet after the long-distance attack. Alves shot straight into the dead corner, and Alves was beyond his reach!

2: 1!

Simeone applauded the outstanding performance of his disciples, but there was still a trace of regret in his heart:
[Mustafi, why did you stop at the last moment? 】

[As long as you get a red card, Valencia's defense will completely collapse in the next few minutes! 】
-
"What a suffocating attack and defense! 10 seconds ago, Li Polo had hoped to receive an assist, but after only 10 seconds, Valencia's defense almost suffered a devastating blow!"

Shen Fangjian's voice was full of unwillingness.

Jia Tianning shook his head again and again:
"Oblak's state today is as if he has taken drugs, Li Polo and Paco have cooperated quite tacitly, but they still haven't been able to break through his ten fingers!

But I believe that even if no points are scored in this game, the fans will not blame the players, they have tried their best! "

Shen Fangjian glanced at the time and let out a sigh:
"Atletico Madrid players are still celebrating, and Simeone on the sidelines looks like he is going to use substitutions to waste time. The time left for Valencia... I am afraid there is not much!"

He was absolutely right.

When Griezmann was still competing with his teammates, whose knees were smoother, there were already players warming up on the sidelines of Atletico Madrid.

In the 88th minute, Griezmann finally ended his passionate celebration. He saw his number on the electronic card held up high by the fourth official on the sidelines.

No. 7 off, No. 22 on.

The last substitution that Simeone prepared was Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, who was only 23 years old, able to pass, grab and block, and even had the ability to shoot from a distance.

He gave up his offense completely, and was going to defend the 2:1 score until the last second!
This substitution did not surprise Nuno Santo, but the Portuguese still wanted to swear!

[On your bench, there are obviously offensive players like Carrasco and Torres, why did you replace it with a defensive midfielder? 】

[If you have the ability to fight against me! 】

[I gave you a 3:0 at the Calderon Stadium in the first round, don't you want to take revenge today? 】

Simeone seemed to feel his anger and shrugged slightly:

[I don't want anything but victory and three points! 】

The fourth official soon held up the electronic card again:
"Injury time, 2 minutes!"

There is really not much time left for Valencia.
