After the game.
As soon as Henrichs returned to the locker room, he was scolded in the face by Coach Top.
"Are you wasting all your energy on the belly of a pheasant? You wasted seven sure-goal opportunities in one game! Stop playing as a forward! Go play as a defender!"
Henrichs said excitedly: "Boss! Is it true? The new youth team coach also said that I am more suitable to play as a full-back!"
Old Man Top stomped his feet angrily, cursed a few words, turned around and went to attend the post-match press conference.
Havertz changed his clothes, took out a watch from the cabinet and stuffed it into Li Kang's trouser pocket.
Hug him vigorously.
"Lee, is this a dream? You helped me score my first Bundesliga goal!"
The first goal in the Bundesliga debut is the dream of every youth training youngster.
Only the monster Li Kang doesn't have too many mood swings.
Cramer took out his watch, looked at it, and murmured: "Tsk, tsk, if you take this watch to a pawn shop and exchange it for money, you can buy a car!"
Li Kang smiled and shook his head, and quickly returned it to Havertz.
Even without him, the first half of his opponent's career would be smooth.
...
Henrichs suggested that everyone go to the May 9th Park to play, but everyone refused.
Captain Bender looked serious and said seriously:
"No, it's the opening match of the Champions League group stage soon... We have to keep our energy up!"
"The Italian girl from Viamarco in Rome is very strong!"
Henrichs looked disappointed.
Playing in the Champions League, he won't be able to make the squad.
There was no small talk for too long.
Li Kang returned to the first team dormitory.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a Bundesliga match! 】
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Congratulations to the host for getting: Golden Treasure Box! 】
There are no additional bonuses to be triggered against a team of Darmstadt's caliber.
The prize pool of the golden treasure chest does not even have the skill module of a famous star.
They were all players whom Li Kang didn't know.
In any case, any reward is important before the Champions League group stage!
[The golden treasure chest is opening...]
[Congratulations to the host for getting: orange-flavored bubble gum! 】
[Green Orange Flavored Sparkling Gum: Take one before the game, it will keep you energetic throughout the game! No attribute gain! 】
[This consumable is only visible to the host, can only be used by the host, and has a shelf life of half a year. 】
What the hell is this?
Li Kang: "..."
....
Leverkusen training ground.
Dino ran over dragging two large speakers.
Keesling asked curiously: "Are you going to let us relax?"
No one from the coaching staff answered.
Beep!
Old Man Top blew his whistle and waved vigorously.
Indicates that the group competition has officially begun.
Dino put the speakers on the sidelines and pressed the start keyboard.
“VamosBarca!!!”
“VamosBarca!!!”
“VamosBarca!!!”
Barcelona's cheering slogans resounded over the Leverkusen training base!
The team members were stunned.
"Keep going! Don't stop!"
Old Man Top waved his hand to continue the game.
"Don't forget that we were beaten by Barcelona in a single game in the Champions League a few years ago and scored 7 goals!"
"Leverkusen wants to wash away its shame at Camp Nou!"
"Boys! We must seize this opportunity! Defend Leverkusen's dignity!"
That sharp voice seemed to overwhelm the sound of the speakers, echoing in the ears of every Leverkusen player!
That night at Camp Nou three years ago...
Barcelona's reign of terror is simply...
Bang bang bang!
Dino clapped vigorously and suddenly interrupted: "Boss! That's good! But the first game we played was Roma..."
...........
The last Champions League matchup between Leverkusen and Roma.
It goes back to 2004.
The headline figure that year was: Berbatov VS Totti.
After 11 years.
The headline figure in Roma is still Totti.
Leverkusen's page character was changed to Li Kang.
The whole world believes that Barcelona will definitely qualify as the first place in Group E.
Roma and Bayer Leverkusen are left to compete for second place.
Some people even think that Borisov of the Belarusian Super League can make an upset appearance with the "ice and snow environment BUFF".
Fans from both sides used translation software to quarrel on European online platforms.
The fighting spirit of Roma fans is obviously stronger. The Italian Football Association and FIFA have been working hard for decades, and various fines have been unable to solve the problem of racial discrimination in the Olympic Stadium.
-[Don’t steal the spotlight, we don’t take Leverkusen seriously at all! Only Barcelona is qualified to be our opponent. 】
-[We admit that Li Kang is excellent, but Totti was even more amazing when he was 17 years old! 】
-[Enrique is a dog. When he coached Roma, he set a losing streak record in team history! If he comes to the Olympic Stadium, don't leave alive! What? Is Leverkusen's coach Top? Never heard of it! 】
-[Leverkusen is just an appetizer, the main dish is Barcelona! 】
.........
Wednesday.
The opening match of the Champions League group stage is here.
Li Kang finished the morning warm-up training and took a plane to Rome with his teammates.
After taking your seat.
He took a piece of orange-flavored sparkling gum in his mouth, opened the system panel, and observed the attribute changes.
[Possession: 76; Passing: 82.]
[Shots: 71; Headers: 68; Set kicks:? ? .]
[Arc: 70; Speed: 79+5↑; Foot power: 78↑.]
[Jump: 70; Body contact: 84↑; Stamina: 82↑.]
[Defense: 78; Steals 81↑; Goalkeeping: 40.]
With the bubble gum in his mouth, his attribute values did not fluctuate in any way.
As for the small arrow, it is still the blessing of the destructive midfield template.
After a single attribute value exceeds 80, the improvement is very slow.
Even if it benefits from the template bonus, it has not been greatly improved, except for physical contact.
He couldn't help but think: If Drogba had an attribute panel, his physical contact attribute would be over the top.
........
Two and a half hours later.
The plane passed through thick clouds.
Landing at Fiumicino Airport.
Leverkusen generals walked out of the airport.
The cordon is surrounded by Asians!
"Son!!!"
"Lee!!!"
"Li Kang!!!"
The players were stunned.
Why are there so many languages!
Son Heung-min looked embarrassed and said: "I saw the news when I returned to China to participate in the friendly match. Some experts in South Korea... said that Lee's girlfriend is a member of the Korean women's team. They thought that Lee must understand Korean, so they judged Lee's I also have Korean ancestry..."
Kiessling couldn't help but laugh: "Sun, I still remember that your compatriots said that Messi is also Korean! There was a lot of sophisticated analysis in the article, and I almost believed it at the time!"
Everyone laughed.
Son Heung-min's face turned red and he had no way to refute. He could only wave and say hello to the fans.
Li Kang shook hands with the Chinese fans, and then got on the club bus at Dino's urging.
...
Along the way.
There are no ancient and magnificent Baroque buildings.
Not a single church sanctuary was seen.
Li Kang looked at the high-rise buildings and neon lights outside the car window and felt a little regretful.
Bender patted him on the shoulder: "After the game, come with us to visit Viamarco Street! The Renaissance style is preserved there!"
Rabbi Bella said excitedly: "Take me with you!"
Kramer frowned: "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me. The white girls there don't do black business! The residents of Rome have a strong sense of superiority! Even homeless people discriminate against black people! Have you heard that joke? Just Even black players from Lazio and Roma are discriminated against by their own fans."
Son Heung-min asked: "Why don't they discriminate against yellow people?"
Cramer shook his head: "It's also discrimination, but not that serious, because Hidetoshi Nakata was once a hero of the city of Rome."
.....
after an hour.
Pre-game press conference.
Roma head coach Garcia stood up and faced old man Top.
A warm and humble attitude, all it takes is a kiss on the hand!
Old Man Top is a little uncomfortable with it.
Isn’t the Roma coach famous for being arrogant? Why are you such a dog in front of me?
The reporters present applauded.
Someone suddenly shouted: "This is the etiquette Mr. Double Champion has for Coach Sanya Wang!"
Garcia quickly waved his hand, walked back to his seat, adjusted the microphone and said: "Just because I can win the championship in Ligue 1 does not mean that I have the same competitiveness in the Bundesliga. When I was taking the coaching license test, I watched many of Mr. Top's games. Case! He is one of my idols!"
"I personally think Leverkusen is more difficult to deal with than Enrique's Barcelona!"
Digging, this Frenchman is really good at it!
Top straightened his suit and tie and sat on the small podium.
"Garcia is a very good coach. He led Roma to create a winning streak in team history. The team that was messed up by Enrique... was brought back to the Champions League by him! I am very optimistic about him!"
All of a sudden.
Reporters recalled Enrique's coaching experience in Rome.
That was in 2011. Roma's new boss hired Enrique with a high salary, hoping that this legendary star with both Real Madrid and Barcelona blood would bring tactical reforms to Roma.
pity.
Enrique's series of tricks brought this Serie A powerhouse into the gutter...
He became the one Roma fans would never forgive.
Even though he led Barcelona to win the Champions League last season, many European media compared him to "a dog on a leash"!
.........
The tunnel of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
It is the most spacious and modern one Li Kang has ever seen.
It can't even be called a "channel."
Even the blue carpet under your feet feels warm.
It is indeed a stadium built for the Olympic Games.
"Lee! Thank you Maldini for your luck in allowing us to meet again so quickly!"
Pjanic patted Li Kang on the shoulder with a bright smile: "I hope we can meet again in the draw ceremony for the top 16. Miss Melanie recently responded to my message!"
For a while.
Players from both sides were amused by this statement.
The atmosphere in the originally solemn passage suddenly became a little more relaxed.
...........
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to watch the first round of the UEFA Champions League Group E match in the 2015/16 season!"
"Roma vs. Leverkusen!"
"This will be a strong dialogue. Both teams have emerged with many talented young players in recent years! What kind of sparks will they create? Let's wait and see!"
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei!"
Longguo live broadcast room.
The number of barrages gradually increased.
-【spark? Is there any spark in the game in Rome? Woke up to another draw! The nickname "Luo Xiaoping" is not for nothing! 】
-[Roma drew nine consecutive games last season, scared! Either 0-0 or 1-1! Even in a strong dialogue contest, Roma only has these two scores! 】
-[I don’t want to watch Barcelona and Real Madrid fight each other, but this game is still interesting and full of suspense! 】
-[Nonsense, how many more years can Messi and Ronaldo play? Watch one less of their games! I suggest you watch the highlights of the pair after the game! 】
....
Olympic Stadium.
The exciting Champions League theme song suddenly stopped.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
Tens of thousands of Roma fans suddenly burst into shouts like a landslide and tsunami!
The huge banner trembled like flames as the fans jumped.
"Roma!!! Roma!!!"
"Roma!!! Roma!!!"
"Roma!!! Roma!!!"
The moment Li Kang stepped onto the green field.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
【Ding! Random treasure chest mission triggers: Conquer the Olympics! 】
[Mission Introduction: Some people say that in the late 1990s, the Catenaccio tactic had been eliminated! But the current Roma coach may be the final defender of this system... Don't be fooled by the opponent's 4-3-3 formation! Defeat this tough red wolf! Let your name resound in the Champions League! Even if it's the first great rival of your career! 】
[Mission reward: Roman Legend-Platinum Treasure Chest! 】
What is Catenaccio's tactical system?
Early football translators in the Dragon Country mistakenly translated this word as: chain defense.
Who would have thought that in 2015, the tactics abandoned by famous Serie A coaches would be carried forward in the hands of a French coach?
The first rival?
Li Kang looked up at the night sky in Rome.
Starry.
........
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"
"Roma has a 4-3-3 formation, which is very surprising!"
"Goalkeeper: Szczesny!"
"Left back: Florenzi!"
"Central defender: Manolas partners with Rudiger!"
"Right back: Digne!"
"Double defensive midfielder: De Rossi partners with Nainggolan!"
"Central midfielder: Keita!"
"Forwards: Pjanic, Dzeko, Salah!"
"Leverkusen also has a 4-2-3-1 formation!"
"Goalkeeper: Leno!"
"Left back: Hilbert!"
"Central defenders: Yonatan Tha, Papadopoulos!"
"Right back: Borges!"
"Double defensive midfielders: Bender, Kramer!"
"Central midfielder: Son Heung-min, Lee Kang, Brandt!"
"Forward: Kiessling!"
Longguo live broadcast room.
Netizens laughed.
-[As expected, it’s a duel between spear and shield! As a result, Roma attacked and Leverkusen defended? 】
-[It’s 2015. You can’t rely on the formation to judge the tactical tendencies of both coaches. Garcia and Top change their formations very frequently on the spot, so the starting formation can only be used as a reference! 】
-[I personally think that the young players in the two teams' lineups will become the main players of the giants in a few years...]
-[Totti is too old to be in the starting lineup! How many years has De Rossi been playing second fiddle? He will probably have to wait until he retires! 】
-[The Milan duo have declined in recent years, Naples and Lazio's status has fluctuated too much, and the Champions League is only supported by Juventus and Roma! Come on, Serie A teams! 】
...
Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The opening match of Group E of the Champions League group stage has officially begun.
