Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 501 Who Made You Raise Your Hand In Surrender?

On January 1, after a week of rest, the 20th round of the Premier League was rekindled.

At the Amex Community Stadium in East Sussex in the southeast, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Brighton "The Seagull".

"Yuntong Community Stadium", such a name, does not sound like the home court of some giants, but a low-level small team like New Wimbledon.

The fact is exactly the same. This team has been in the third and fourth tier leagues since 20 years ago. It was not until 1999 that they re-qualified for the Championship.

After that, they ushered in a long journey to surpass:

In the 2011-12 season, they moved into a new home stadium, ending the embarrassment of renting stadiums around.

The following year, they finished fourth, only to lose out to Crystal Palace in the play-offs.

In the third year, they made a comeback and lost to Derby County in the play-offs with sixth place.

In the fourth year, they appointed Hyypia as the coach, but the Red Army captain not only failed to bring passion and transformation to the team, but directly dived into the relegation zone...

Panicked, Brighton quickly sacked him, and then relied on a more pragmatic style of play to successfully avoid relegation at the end of the season.

In the fifth year, they led the standings for a long time, but lost points one after another in the last few rounds of the league, and finally lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the promotion play-offs, and missed the Premier League again.

Until the sixth year, that is, last season, they relied on the outstanding performance of Leicester City's abandonment-Konokite, and locked the top two in the British Championship 3 rounds in advance (finally the runner-up), the first in history Advance to the Premier League for the first time!
The story of "Seagull Legion" is of course very inspirational, but they met Chelsea!

The two sides have played against each other a total of 9 times in history, Chelsea has 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss!
The last time they lost to Brighton was in 1933!
At that time, Li Polo's grandfather was not even born!

Queen Elizabeth was only 7 years old at that time!
In order to commemorate the 10th meeting between the two sides, Chelsea can be said to have dispatched the main force, fired all the firepower, and killed the killer!
In the end, after a week of rest, the players who were in poor form before have ushered in a recovery.

Hazard scored twice with both goals and assists.

Fabregas assists hat-trick.

William, Moses, and Pedro were not far behind, and made contributions one after another.

Lee Polo did his part, scoring a hat-trick in the first half, scoring twice in the second half, and hitting five goals in a row by himself.

10: 0!

Looking at the Brighton players lying on the ground, Conte on the sidelines even slapped his hands swollen!
"This is the game I want!"

Only the goalkeeper Courtois sat on the goal line in a daze:

[Who can find me a coat to put on! 】

[This ghost stadium looks like it is newly built, why is there air leaking everywhere! 】
-
Swallowing 10 goals at home, Brighton fell directly from 13th in the middle of the standings to 17th, only one place away from the relegation zone...

In the second half of the season, in addition to the championship, the competition for the Champions League and the relegation zone is also fierce.

Such as the competition for Champions League qualification.

Arsenal, ranked 7th, finally got rid of the previous decline. They defeated the "King of North London" Crystal Palace 4:1 at home, took the opportunity to overtake the losing Burnley, and returned to the 6th position.

The dark horse Burnley, who was ranked 6th before, regrettably lost to Manchester United 0:1. It was Martial who scored the only goal for Mourinho.

Tottenham, ranked fifth, did not live up to expectations at all, and was tied 5:1 by Southampton in the away game.

Liverpool, ranked 4th, was even more disappointing. They completely failed the expectations of the Saints' fellows. They were defeated by Swansea at home and missed a great opportunity to widen the gap with Tottenham...

Only the second and third Manchester City duo performed steadily and defeated their respective opponents.

But the next week, the league will give way to the cup again...

First up is the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Arsenal.

After the 1:1 draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg, Arsenal once wanted to fight back at home.

But Wenger vetoed this plan in the end, because although the semi-finals of the League Cup were two rounds, there was no concept of away goals, and defensive counterattacks did not make much sense.

And... Lee Polo has already released the words in advance:

"Arsenal did not go all out in the league before, which is extremely disrespectful to me, so I am going to the Emirates Stadium to get back my due dignity!"

So, when Chelsea arrived at the Emirates Stadium on January 1, standing in front of them was a group of young players whose average age had just turned 24!
1995年的霍尔丁、阿克蓬、1996年的伊沃比、97年的奈尔斯、马夫罗帕诺斯、普莱格苏埃洛、98年的图图、达席尔瓦、99年的尼尔森、恩凯蒂亚……

The No. 1994 goalkeeper Matthew Machey, who was born in 11, is already the oldest of the [-] starters!
Li Polo, who was also born in 1994, did not feel respected at all in front of these little kids!
He scored four goals in a row in the first half, killed the crap out of this group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and then took the initiative to apply for exit during the intermission...

The final score of the game was fixed at 6:0. Arsenal only resisted for 10 minutes from the beginning to the end, and then allowed Li Polo and his substitutes to abuse wantonly!

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Wenger deliberately shook hands with Li Poluo once.

The embarrassment of the last confrontation has long since disappeared from the face of the famous French coach.

Instead he said appreciatively:
"Your suggestion may indeed be right."

Li Poluo, who was originally full of anger, was stunned for a moment before reacting.

The "suggestion" Wenger refers to is what Li Polo first said, let him give up domestic competitions, and go all out to fight for the Europa League championship, so as to qualify for the Champions League next season!
But...he was just talking nonsense for the sake of pretending!

Who made you raise your hand and surrender!

As Chelsea beat Arsenal, another semi-final was also decided:

凭借主场2:1、客场3:2、两回合5:3的成绩，曼城略显艰难地战胜了他们的对手，和切尔西在决赛汇合。

Only one goal was won in the two rounds. For Guardiola's team, it is indeed not glorious, especially their opponent is just a team from the English Championship...

The name of the Championship team is called New Wimbledon.

After hearing the news, Li Poluo couldn't help but feel distraught!

He swears viciously to his old teammates such as head coach Neil Ardley, assistant coach Neil Cox and Akinfenwa who discovered him:

"I will definitely avenge you!"

"If I don't beat Guardiola out of the shit, I will no longer be a player of the Kuang Gang!"
