football's number one madman

Chapter 241 Backstab Master Li Polo!
With a heavy "International Competition" trophy, after a long flight, Valencia returned to Spain.

At this time, it has come to August 8th, and there are only 4 days of preparation time before the new season officially starts.

Although Gary Neville led the team to participate in 4 games, the time to adapt to each other was still too short, and the intensity of the warm-up match was too low to achieve the effect of running the team at all.

But he has nothing to do. For the first time to lead the team independently, he took over a league + cup double. The pressure he bears is far from as easy as it seems to the outside world.

After all, in the player era, he only needs to bury his head in training and play hard. At most, as the captain, he has to unite with other teammates.But when he actually became the helm of a battleship, he realized that there are so many things that he needs to deal with!
Formulate season goals, analyze opponents, study tactics, lead team training, coordinate the atmosphere of the locker room, rotate the lineup reasonably, motivate players to fight, accept interviews from various media, participate in press conferences, participate in commercial activities of sponsors, and even bring The team participated in the community sending warmth activities...

In addition to these head coaching responsibilities, he also has distractions from the work of the athletic director:

Listen to the reports of the coaching team and the scouting team, decide to buy and sell players and renew contracts, review the results of the youth training camp, promote young teenagers, regularly report to the club's board of directors, attend high-level management meetings, and participate in the draw ceremony of various competitions...

In addition, he even let some players go through the back door and arranged a warm-up match for his old club!
If it wasn't for Neville's new arrival, he hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, otherwise he would definitely make an example of others and set himself up!

[I didn't even arrange to play against Manchester United, and you, a player, can give priority to it? 】

[For the game against Manchester United, no matter how good the scene is, the tickets must sell well! 】

[Manchester United, Mourinho, Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Lingard, Neville vs his old club, Schweinsteiger's battle for rectification, Manchester United's revenge battle against Lee Polo... these elements, Which point can't be used as a gimmick to sell money? 】

[Just hyping the debate match between Neville Vs Mourinho at the press conference can feed the Spanish and English media for a week! 】

Although he has only been a Catholic coach for 20 years, Neville discovered that the person he had the most contact with in his mobile phone call records was not his wife, but Ferguson who was far away in Manchester!

Nei Wenhao, who is over forty years old, is still just an ignorant student in front of his mentor.

There are so many things he has to learn! -
Four days after returning to Spain, on August 4th, Lee Polo welcomed his old club, New Wimbledon, in Mestalla.

Since this is the only home warm-up match before the opening of the new season, more than [-] enthusiastic fans flooded into the Mestalla Stadium on this day.

Calculated based on the minimum of 20 euros for a ticket, plus some income from commercial sponsorship and peripheral products, this friendly match can also earn 100 million euros in revenue, barely enough to pay Lee Polo's salary for three weeks.

However, today's Wimbledon is no longer the semi-amateur team that was mixed in the second league. After two seasons of hard work, they successfully advanced to the British Championship. Players, although they can't expect to break into the Premier League, they are still very confident in staying in the English Championship.

500 million pounds-it may not seem like a lot, but for a newly promoted team, it is already a lot.

You know, last season's Crazy Gang only spent 150 million in the transfer window of League One, and now it has skyrocketed by three or four times!
Li Poluo even saw a few familiar figures in the opponent's lineup.

For example, the 25-year-old Will Grigg, a striker who once played for Milton Keynes, just joined his rival in this summer window, and the transfer fee alone reached 150 million pounds.

——However, his previous relationship with Milton was only on loan and part-time job, so he wouldn't bear too serious a reputation as a traitor.

There is also midfielder Ben Reeves, who also has loan experience in Milton. He debuted in the Southampton youth training camp and became the new midfielder core of Kuangbang at a price of 80.

Ivan Toney, who played for Northampton in League One before, this tall striker, although once considered a rare talent, but after a high-profile transfer to the Premier League powerhouse Newcastle United, his development situation has gone from bad to worse , there was no ball to play for a time, and in the end he could only be sold by the Magpies for a cabbage price of 50 pounds...

"England's No. [-] muscular bully" Akinfenwa, who used to train strength with Lee Polo every day, has experienced a marked decline in physical function as he grows older. Although he is still in the team this season, he may only serve as a substitute up.

The replacement of the old and the new is the most normal thing. The 34-year-old Akinfenwa also took it lightly. He got the chance to start this game, and he warmly hugged Lee Polo for 10 seconds!

I don't know if it's because his strength has declined, or Li Polo has become stronger, the hell hug that once made him breathless, now doesn't make him feel too much discomfort.

Akinfenwa was a little surprised:

"You kid, it seems that even if you become a top player, you still haven't let up!"

Li Poluo patted his big bald head with a smile:

"That's, so...you have to be careful!"

Akinfenwa looked at his position and spit on the ground:
"Both of us are strikers, you can't run over to tackle me, can you?"
-
Due to the fact that the strength gap between the two sides is indeed too large, coupled with the existence of Li Polo, Valencia obviously did not dare to exert force. The game appeared very civilized and friendly at the beginning, and the two sides did not even have much physical contact.

But after all, it is a football game. When the players gradually enter the state, the sense of victory and defeat engraved in their DNA is gradually stimulated, and the scene becomes more and more lively.

In the 33rd minute, DePaul instigated a long pass from the left and hoisted the ball past Wimbledon's defense. With a speed of 91, Lee Polo instantly completed the anti-offside, facing his old friend and goalkeeper Shea. Burst!
Faced with his lightning speed, Xie A had no time to make a save, and could only watch the football roaring towards the stands dumbfounded!
The goalkeeper even gave Lee Polo a thumbs up!
"Is this the demeanor of a La Liga superstar! Sure enough, he has superb shooting skills! I love it!"

[Negative emotions from Li Bo Luo, +22! 】

Li Polo stroked his hair angrily, and raised his right hand towards Rodrigo and DePaul:
"Steamer, pass me a high-altitude ball!"

"Look at me blasting this second-rate goalkeeper to death with a header!"

Xie A's complexion changed drastically:

"You are not a human being riding a horse!"

[James Shea, +5! 】
-
Once Lee Polo's fighting spirit is aroused, it is almost an impossible task to retreat under the bombardment of his header.

Sure enough, the poor Xie Ah only persisted for 5 minutes before he was blasted away by Li Poluo...

Li Poluo even got into the goal immediately, picked up the football and ran back:

"another one!"

"The opponent is only the British Championship team, or a newly promoted team. Do you have to face it if you only score one?"

Wimbledon players collectively brushed a wave of negative emotions!
Even Adley on the sidelines couldn't help complaining to Cox:
"This little bastard, his teammates are all Spanish, why should he speak in English?"

Cox shrugged:

"You probably forgot what this guy is best at!"
-
Valencia fans were a little surprised to find that Lee Polo, who scored two goals in the last 20 minutes of the first half, unexpectedly appeared in Wimbledon's forward line in the second half...

Someone even couldn't help but complain:
"Representing two teams and playing half the time?"

"Did Lee Polo treat this game as a retirement show?"

Then he saw Lee Polo raised his hands and shouted to his England teammates in Spanish:
"Brothers, pass us the high-altitude ball!"

"Let the La Liga champions on the opposite side take a look, our crazy gang is not easy to mess with!"

On the opposite side, Parejo, DePaul, Mustafi...all of them turned black!
[Parejo, +16]

[DePaul, +8]

……

[Mustafi, +24]

[Weizuo, +32! 】

Vezzo raised his hand directly to the coaching team on the sidelines:

"Coach, I sprained my ankle!"

"Hurry up and replace me!"

"I don't want this starter!"

Fortunately, Neville on the sidelines doesn't know much about Spanish, otherwise he would definitely lose his temper on the spot!

[Now the players, why are they so rampant? 】

[Didn't you beg the club to arrange it for you? 】

[Why do you want to hang us now? 】

Vizzo had just been replaced by Van Dijk, and in less than 3 minutes, a bomber was seen flying over the Mestalla Stadium!

"Lee Polo" mercilessly pushed away "Van Dyke" and pushed the cross from Grieg into the net!

[Negative sentiment from Diego Alves, +55! 】

[Van Dyke, +33! 】

[Negative sentiment from Valencia fans at the Mestalla Stadium, +666! 】
