The Monaco royal family is the licking dog of the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom.
Prince Albert II, in order to carry out cultural exchanges with the Dragon Kingdom, did not hesitate to send the Millennium Throne to the Forbidden City.
On December 3, 2002, the Dragon Kingdom defeated Poland, Mexico, Russia, and South Korea in Monaco and won the right to host the 2010 World Expo.
Grimaldi Conference Center.
A red carpet was laid out from the north gate to the roadside.
On both sides of the red carpet, media reporters set up cameras early.
Monaco has an area of only 2.08 square kilometers.
This conference center covers an area of 70,000 square meters.
Li Kang, Worrall and Old Man Top got out of the commercial vehicle.
The reporters clearly saw the team logos on the chests of the three people and did not show much interest. They quickly set their sights back to the end of the road, with Barcelona and Real Madrid, Bayern and Juventus being the focus of their interviews.
...
As soon as I walked into the lobby of the conference center.
You can feel the rich traditional elements of the Dragon Kingdom.
Celadon, black glazed porcelain, colored porcelain, Yue porcelain...tiger head, sheep head, rat head, ink calligraphy and painting...all kinds of zither and drum...
Li Kang was startled.
He took two steps closer and saw the label clearly: imitation.
The negative emotions that had just emerged gradually dissipated.
Worler said with a smile: "The Monaco royal family cannot afford a few antiques from the Dragon Kingdom. There are only imitations here."
"Prince Albert II was so obsessed with the culture of the Dragon Kingdom that he made Chinese courses compulsory for children in this country..."
Li Kang nodded seriously.
Old Man Top looked a little nervous.
From the moment he defeated Manchester United, he was praying for Leverkusen's Champions League luck.
Playing well is not as good as smoking well.
The situation in the Champions League is very different this year.
There are also many powerful teams in the third and fourth tiers.
For example: CSKA Moscow in the Russian Super League, Sevilla in La Liga, Lyon in Ligue 1, Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Super League, Galatasaray in the Turkish Super League...
Especially Roma in Serie A, which was actually assigned to the third tier team.
In this Champions League group stage, it is very likely that a group of death will be born!
....
Under the guidance of UEFA staff.
The three of them walked into a conference venue.
"The player representative seats are in the auditorium. We have to go to the club representative seats. If you need anything, just send me a message. And..."
"You're like a grandma now! Come on, Li is not a kid."
Worrall and Old Man Top walked to the front row of the main stage.
Li Kang pressed the number plate and walked towards the auditorium.
He quickly found his seat.
Row 6.
Aisle seats.
"Leverkusen has another genius? Asian?"
As soon as Li Kang sat down, someone next to him greeted him.
It's Roma's Miralem Pjanic.
This guy was as thin as a thin dog in 2015.
"You are from the Dragon Kingdom, right? It must be, I used to be roommates with the Dragon Kingdom players!"
"This is the first time I saw the Dragonborn at the Champions League draw ceremony!"
Pjanic smiled and held out his hand.
Li Kang responded politely.
He suddenly remembered: There was indeed a Dragon Kingdom player and Pjanic called the "Metz Twins" back then. Unfortunately, there was a big gap between the two in their subsequent careers...
Pjanic was about to continue.
The media reporters behind suddenly let out a cry of exclamation, and the camera lights flashed crazily!
A group of players wearing clothes with the Barcelona team logo walked into the venue!
Messi!
Iniesta!
Suarez!
...
Pjanic wondered: "Why can Barcelona come with so many player representatives? Our other clubs can only send one player!"
Schürrle on his right said: "Barcelona was the Champions League champion last season. Not only are there many players represented, but there are also three legends as presenters!"
....
After all representatives are seated.
The Champions League group draw ceremony has officially begun.
After a passionate opening song.
A man and a woman walked out on both sides of the main stage.
Old Manchester United goalkeeper Schmeichel.
Miss Switzerland Melanie.
The two of them were the masters of ceremonies for this draw, and they spoke in a very official tone.
Off stage.
Pjanic adjusted his sitting posture, stared at the graceful figure on the main stage, and murmured: "It's so exciting!"
Li Kang: "..."
He really couldn't understand why the well-dressed Swiss lady felt like a Roman genius.
Pjanic glanced at Li Kang and said, "Isn't Miss Melanie attractive? There's something wrong with your aesthetics!"
.....
The drawing ceremony was fast-paced.
The two emcees left.
The LED screen on the main stage began to play the top ten goals of the last Champions League:
Abubakar's violent long shot.
Lewandowski hit the goal with a header.
Benzema exploded from a small angle.
...
Accompanied by the passionate Champions League theme song BGM.
Every goal was met with applause.
Of the ten best goal clips, Barcelona has five.
When Messi knocked down Boateng's famous scene appeared on the big screen.
The whole audience burst into cheers instantly.
Bayern's sports director's face was ashen.
Club representative seat.
Old man Top was sitting between Enrique and Guardiola, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't understand why the two juniors could ignore him and not even say hello!
Are Triple Crown and Six Crown winners amazing?
The top ten goals are played.
The LED screen is not dim.
Instead, the best goal in this season's Champions League qualifying rounds was suddenly inserted.
in the screen.
A black-haired boy wearing Leverkusen's No. 10 jersey hit a shocking free kick with a weird arc at Old Trafford!
Suddenly.
Everyone's eyes turned to the players' bench, searching hard for the figure scoring the goal.
Pjanic looked at Li Kang with a look of astonishment and praised: "Your free kick seems to be better than mine!"
Longguo live broadcast room.
Duan Xuan and He Wei couldn't help but feel a little excited when they saw this scene.
"Li Kang! He is the first Dragonborn player to appear at the Champions League draw ceremony!"
"His free kick was as exciting as last season's top ten goals in the Champions League!"
The barrage gradually became more exciting.
-[Although Li Kang is not a Dragon Country nationality, I still hope that he will play better and better and prove to the world that we Dragon Country people can also play well! 】
-[It’s nothing to prove. When will the overall strength of Longguo’s football be strong enough to change the evaluation of football desert? Li Kang must not come back! 】
-[I can guess the titles of tonight’s self-media: “Messi is stunned!” “Cristiano Ronaldo is stunned!”]
-[It’s not that exaggerated, Messi was as awesome as Ronaldo when he was 17 years old! The most common comment is: "This guy's free kick is pretty good!"]
....
Club representative seat.
Allegri suddenly turned around: "Mr. Top, this kid is a bit like Pirlo, our Juventus..."
Simeone interrupted: "This little guy's style of play is very suitable for Atletico Madrid!"
Pellegrini: "We at Manchester City..."
Old Man Top scolded the UEFA editors ten thousand times in his heart!
No, it must be Worrell’s doing!
And these greedy wealthy coaches!
Wenger, why are you looking at me like that?
Why are you Arsenal joining in the fun?
Old Man Top tried hard to calm down his tone: "Well...Li, he is good at free kicks! Yes! Only free kicks are good."
....
The Champions League ceremony soon came to the most important part.
Maldini and Zanetti, two legends of AC Milan and Inter Milan, stood in front of the small stage as guests of the draw.
Snapped!
The little round ball is unscrewed.
Barcelona was drawn first, Group E!
All the second-tier club managers couldn't help but become nervous.
Old Man Top also kept praying in his heart.
When the results are in.
He almost fainted.
....
Longguo live broadcast room.
Duan Xuan and He Wei were also explaining the results of the draw.
"Leverkusen! Group E!"
"Rome! Group E!"
"Borisov! Group E!"
"The first death group is born!"
"Congratulations to them!"
The barrage is full of joy!
-[laughing to death! Leverkusen finally eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League qualifying round! As a result, they met Barcelona in the group stage. 】
-[A battle of revenge for the abandoned son of a wealthy family? I suspect this grouping is rigged, haha. 】
-[Roma has been very strong in the past two seasons, ranking second in Serie A, especially their defensive system, and their counterattacks are super sharp! It will be difficult for Leverkusen to pass. 】
-[Borisov is not easy to play. It is freezing and snowy in Belarus. Bayern and Atletico Madrid have suffered before. It is so cold that their underwear freezes, let alone passing the ball! 】
-[According to objective strength analysis, it is difficult for Leverkusen to qualify! Definitely can't beat Barcelona! 】
-[Look at Arsenal, how good the draw is, they will definitely enter the top 16! 】
....
Forty minutes later.
The UEFA Champions League group results for the 2015/16 season are all out!
Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo.
Group B: PSV, Lazio, CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg.
Group C: Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Astana.
Group D: Juventus, Manchester City, Sevilla, Monchengladbach.
Group E: Barcelona, Leverkusen, Roma, Borisov.
Group F: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Dinamo Zagreb.
Group G: Chelsea, Porto, Dynamo Kyiv), Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Group H: Zenit St. Petersburg, Valencia, Lyon, Gent.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Group E and Group D, two absolute death groups, have become hot topics of discussion.
...
The Champions League draw ceremony has officially ended.
Pjanic shook hands with Li Kang: "See you in the Champions League!"
A man in a suit stepped forward: "Hey! Sophia's son! I grew up watching you! Do you remember me? I didn't expect you to become so good. You should go home and see more..."
His clothes were embroidered with the Barcelona crest.
Li Kang glanced at the other party.
no respond.
Turn around and leave.
For a Spanish player who insulted the Dragons, why do so many Dragons fans regard him as the "iron-blooded team spirit"?
The man in a suit smiled coquettishly.
He turned towards Iniesta and spread his hands: "The young man has reached the stage of rebellion!"
...
Venue exit.
Worrall and Old Man Top did not greet their old friends, but immediately met with Li Kang.
"Have you made any new friends? Well, that boy Pjanic has a pretty good style of life."
"Can you please stop being like an old woman? Li is already 17 years old! Let's go quickly. When these crazy reporters see those wealthy stars, they are like flies seeing poop!"
The three people quickly left the Grimaldi Conference Center.
No hassles were encountered.
after all.
Among the top 32 players in the Champions League, there are many wealthy and powerful teams with more traffic than Leverkusen, and media reporters cannot interview them at all.
Just like Roberto, the Barcelona sports director at this time.
His mouth was almost filled with microphones.
"Mr. Robert! Do you think Barcelona can defend the Champions League this season?"
"After Xavi left, Barcelona happened to encounter a ban on aid in this summer window. Can you adapt to multiple fronts this season?"
"Leverkusen's talented young player refused to return to Barcelona. What do you think of this matter? Why did you sell him to Leverkusen in the first place? Instead of loaning him?"
Robert looked calm and answered the reporters' questions one by one.
"Li Kang? We respect his personal wishes. It's interesting that Barcelona and Leverkusen are in the same group."
The implication is obvious.
Defeating an old, weak and disabled Manchester United team proves nothing at all.
In the Champions League group stage, Barcelona will use their strength to crush Leverkusen.
A young player who has just emerged wants to prove that Barcelona's decision is wrong?
.....
Li Kang returned to the first team dormitory.
Brandt's laughter as he played the game could be heard through both walls.
Take off your very uncomfortable suit.
turn on computer.
Start searching for recent Roma match videos.
He often watches replays of Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Juventus games, but he can't understand them at all, even using God's perspective.
The video starts playing.
When seeing the main roster of Roma.
He understood why everyone was praising this Serie A team for its strong defense and sharp counterattack.
Central defender: Manolas partners with Rudiger.
These two guys are the fastest defensive players in the five major leagues today.
Midfielder: Pjanic, Keita, De Rossi, Nainggolan.
This midfield strangulation intensity is definitely one of the best in the five major leagues!
Forwards: Salah, Dzeko.
Not to mention top centers like Dzeko.
The Roman version of Salah must not have grown to his full body yet, right?
...
After one hour.
Li Kang was a little shocked in front of the computer.
Was Salah already that strong in 2015?
And Pjanic is simply playing according to Pirlo's template!
That Rudiger seems to have a better turning ability than Mirai.
The shadow in Li Kang's brain suddenly spread crazily.
In his mind, he began to replay all the details of the game he had just watched.
The court turned into a flat surface.
The Roma players turned into stars, constantly moving.
Their overall movement.
Two chains are formed on the plane....
...
After a long time.
The shadows in the brain begin to shrink.
Li Kang was covered in cold sweat.
He kept gasping for air.
From God's perspective, there was no way he could find a way to break this defensive system.
It should still be limited by the understanding of tactics.
Limited by understanding the characteristics of your own players.
all in all.
If Leverkusen wants to qualify in the Champions League group stage.
The degree of difficulty is very high.
In the original timeline, in the 2015/16 season, the two teams qualifying from Group E of the Champions League are: Barcelona and Roma.
