Chapter 38 The Ittihad Chat Room(1/2)
October 19th.
City of Manchester.
It was less than two hours before the start of the game, and Gary Neville, who had already boarded the bus and was about to go to the stadium, received Manchester City's starting list.
He stared at the list of 11 people for a long time, and finally said:
"Where are their forwards?"
Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt players include Sterling, De Bruyne, Nolito, David Silva, Gundogan, Ferdinandho...
But among these six players, it is obvious that there is no certified forward!
Volo turned over the information in his hand:
"I haven't received any news about Aguero's injury!"
Big Neville's face became visibly serious:
"Guardiola...is going to have a strikerless formation in Manchester City!"
Little Neville frowned:
"Our targeted training has always been to prepare for Aguero playing as a center forward!"
Big Neville bit his lip and drew on the tactical board in his hand for a long time:
"Their frontcourt movement will be more flexible. Can it be sustained by just relying on Van Dijk and Vizzo?"
-
Manchester gradually entered the evening, and the lights of the Etihad Stadium shone on the green field.
After a lapse of half a year, Lee Polo felt a little nostalgic when he set foot on this arena again.
In England, the distance between the stands and the field is often closer, and the effect of sound concentration is more obvious - not to mention, England's fans are also famous for being noisy.
Unlike Spain, which is relatively civilized and polite, even in the evening, enthusiastic English fans will go shirtless to cheer for the team.
It's just that...for Manchester City, which lacks sufficient foundation, there are still slightly fewer such die-hard fans.
On the field, captain Fernandinho, goalkeeper Bravo, two full-backs Zabaleta, Kolarov, plus Otamendi...
Li Polo, who was standing in the players' tunnel, looked at the 11 players of the opponent and then walked towards the opponent.
Before he even got close to the first target, he received a burst of feedback:
[Negative sentiment from Otamendi, 9]
【Zabaleta,6】
【Sterling,2】
【Silva, 5...】
"Where's Kompany? Where's Joe Hart? Where's Yaya Toure and Aguero?"
Li Polo looked around:
"I miss playing them again! But why didn't they start?"
He was preparing to break through the opponent's psychological defenses one by one when he heard Guardiola's voice from not far away:
"Security, security! Pull that guy back!"
Seeing several big and round British guys standing in front of him, Lee Polo could only roll his eyes:
"Do you want to play with me?"
-
"They are the best team,
This is the most important event..."
When the Champions League theme song rang through the stadium, Lee Polo was eager to shake hands with the Manchester City players.
[Those security guards will not disturb our friendly exchanges now!]
But what disappointed him was that starting from Fernandinho and Bravo, all the Blue Moon players passed by him at a sprint speed of 100 meters!
However, each of them stretched out their fists and touched Li Polo. Li Polo still had no way to complain like he did against Atletico Madrid!
Looking at his opponents speeding away one by one, Li Polo felt very innocent:
"I just want to chat in English with the Premier League team. Is there anything wrong with that?"
-
"Thanks to Kompany's reminder, we can start the game with a normal mentality."
Guardiola off the field had a panoramic view of Li Polo's every move, turned to his assistant and said:
"Many players from Barcelona have complained to me. This guy is very good at messing with people's mentality! Just like...that Portuguese guy!"
Arteta, who had just retired, smiled bitterly:
"I can understand that feeling."
In front of their eyes, a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling appeared.
But... they didn't relax for long.
When the game started, Li Polo immediately ushered in his "chat time".
As the starting forward, of course he found the opponent's center back Otamendi first:
"I heard that you haven't won the last two rounds? You were beaten 0:2 by Tottenham and were tied by Everton?"
Otamendi closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.
But Li Poluo has already gained 10 experience points...
"Your team is not good! You spend hundreds of millions every year, and in the end, even Arsenal shares the same share with you. Are you worthy of the salary of the oil dad?"
Otamendi looked at him calmly. This time, there was no negative emotion at all...
Li Polo was stunned for a moment.
【What is going on?】
[Are you immune to my psychological warfare?]
【How is this possible!】
Li Polo frowned and glanced at the other central defender:
"A gentle reminder, today I will specifically attack your side, so you must be prepared!"
[Negative sentiment from Otamendi, 22!]
Manchester City centre-back and former Valencia player finally couldn’t bear it anymore:
"Can't you change your opponent?"
"Stones is worth more than me!"
As soon as he saw the experience value, Li Poluo immediately beamed.
[It turns out that you just care more about your own performance! 】
-
Anyway, the game has just begun, and both sides are still in the trial stage. Li Polo simply expanded the scope of his activities and allowed himself to come into contact with as many opponents as possible, thereby reversing the previous losses.
For example, he showed young people's care to Manchester City's left back Kolarov:
"Our Feguli is very fast. At your age, you have to be careful with your old arms and legs!"
The 31-year-old Kolarov glared at him and slowly gave out 7 experience points.
Li Polo curled his lips, retreated directly to the midfield and found De Bruyne:
"That penalty kick you took in the last league game was such a pity. If you could have scored earlier, you would have won!"
Ding Ding missed a penalty kick in the game against Everton, and unpleasant memories were suddenly brought back.
【De Bruyne,27】
He found Silva again:
"Isn't it tiring to pass the ball to teammates like Sterling every day? If you were a different forward, you would have been the assist leader in Europe!"
He took advantage of the situation and grabbed Sterling:
"Did you hear that, big baby?"
The happy boy rolled his eyes wide:
"You are trying to sow discord between us!"
Li Polo glanced at Silva.
Although the latter suppressed his emotions, he still came up with a group of experiences:
To be continued...
