"Li, why are you standing here stupidly while we look for you everywhere?"
The assistant ran over panting.
He looked at the sparkling lake under the setting sun and murmured: "Well, this place is indeed nice... By the way, let's get down to business! The Veltins Group has proposed an additional clause! As long as you win the Champions League this season If you win the assist title or golden boot! Or be the best player, they will give you a huge bonus!"
The business scope of Veltins Group in Germany is not limited to beer, but also involves commercial real estate and energy industry.
Otherwise, a beer company... wouldn't pay a sky-high price to buy the naming rights of a five-star stadium.
certainly.
Leverkusen's assistant... thought he was a bit stupid.
He took the initiative to propose an additional clause for no reason. He is really stupid and has too much money.
"Don't be cold, let's go back first. The new contract will not be signed so soon. No one in North Rhine will question the credibility of Veltins' verbal agreement."
He diligently put a coat on Li Kang.
Didi didi.
The phone rang.
Li Kang looked at the prompt on the information bar: Asuka-chan [picture.jpg]
I couldn’t help but be shocked!
Could it be that the cute and innocent Sakura girl is as good as Jordan Carver...
He slowly pressed the unlock button.
next moment.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
in the photo.
Asuka was wearing Leverkusen's No. 10 jersey, with her bangs combed back and an indifferent look on her face.
...
In the North Rhine region in October, the wind is cold and desolate.
Among the mountain roads, dead leaves are flying.
Li Kang sat in the car and watched the recent games of Borussia Monchengladbach's first team.
A bit miserable.
The tactical system of the meritorious coach Falf has been thoroughly studied.
Coupled with injuries, the camp is full.
Borussia lost six consecutive games in the Bundesliga and Champions League!
Last season they were third in the Bundesliga.
wrong?
Why does their new coach look so familiar?
Isn't it the head coach of the Borussia youth team - Shubotin!
.........
Borussia training base.
The players competed fiercely in groups in the cold wind!
Beep~beep!
A sharp whistle blew to stop the game.
"Baumjohn! Did you only learn to be reckless at Schalke 04?"
"Pass the damn ball to...Xhaka!"
Shuboting's patience was completely exhausted in the few days of training matches.
Borussia's main midfielder Stindl was unable to participate in the game due to a groin injury.
He can only use this fool who was bought from Schalke 04 at a bargain price.
"Baumjohn, repeat it to me! What is your mission in the next round against Leverkusen!"
The club has lost six games in a row.
The achievement of seven consecutive defeats cannot be unlocked in his hands!
Baumjohn scratched his head with a tangled expression. He recalled hard for a long time before murmuring: "Overthrow Leverkusen's No. 10!"
puff!
The teammates laughed.
Shuboting covered his forehead helplessly: "Be a good bodyguard for Xhaka! Do a good job of sweeping and escorting the midfield! If you get the ball, immediately..."
"Pass it to Xhaka!"
Baumjohn finally remembered and replied loudly!
.....
Leverkusen training base.
Son Heung-min helps Li Kang do strength training.
Brandt pointed at the uniformed woman outside the training ground and said with disdain: "Li, that rookie sister is crazy! She is either guarding the training ground or squatting at the door of the dormitory. She and our cleaning lady have begun to call each other brothers..."
Kiessling covered the sun with his hands and said: "She is really perseverant. She is Mino Raiola's agency...what is it called?"
Kramer laughed: "If she were not an agent, I would suggest you behave more like a gentleman!"
Bang bang bang!
Dino clapped his hands: "Guys! We have to go to the Prussia Park Stadium! We are going to have a North Rhine derby!"
This sentence did not cause much reaction.
The response from the Leverkusen players seemed a bit perfunctory.
Dino was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Well, this game really won't be difficult."
Club relations in the North Rhine region are a bit complicated.
It can be roughly summarized as:
League ranking doesn't matter, just being ahead of you.
It doesn't matter if you win the championship or not, just double kill you.
I feel relieved knowing that you are not doing well.
I look forward to you driving a Land Rover, and I also look forward to your suffering.
....
Borussia's mortal enemy is: Cologne.
Leverkusen’s mortal enemy is: Cologne.
In recent years, the relationship between the two clubs has been tenuous.
In the derby, there is no tragic situation of equal power and fire.
On the contrary, the private relationship between the players on both sides is very good.
Especially Kramer.
This guy was loaned to Borussia Mönchengladbach, where it became his second home.
The most impressive thing is: when he was playing for Borussia Monchengladbach, he blasted a super world wave in the half and broke through his own door!
.........
A few hours later.
The club bus slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Prussia Park.
Along the way, Kramer analyzed Borussia's tactical system and the players' style characteristics...
He said with a dry mouth.
Keesling quickly handed over a bottle of water.
Mainly I told them to Li Kang and Brandt, two minors.
"That's the basics!"
"As long as we limit Xhaka's passing, half the battle is won! Of course, Borussia is very weak now!"
Kramer patted Li Kang on the shoulder and said solemnly.
Son Heung-min came to his senses and asked: "The Versailles Building you mentioned last time..."
Didn't wait for the other party to reply.
The club bus arrived at the parking spot.
Old Man Top quickly ran out of the car, led Dino, and walked skillfully to the press conference.
"When I was young, Monchengladbach was the dream club for German players!"
"Heynckes and I cherished each other back then..."
...
Pre-match press conference.
Shuboting and Old Man Top looked at each other with big eyes.
Two months ago.
The two coaches coached their respective youth teams and had a "North Rhine Derby".
A reporter asked: "Mr. Schubotin, are you confident that you can lead Borussia Monchengladbach to complete the task of avoiding relegation this season?"
This question is a bit pointed.
Last season's Bundesliga third place, the Champions League powerhouse, is now reduced to relegation...
Shuboting showed no displeasure.
He said plainly: "Borussia is currently in a very difficult situation. Many of our main players were unable to play in this game due to injuries, but we are still competitive in the Bundesliga!"
The reporter asked reluctantly: "Will you let Leverkusen escape unscathed in Prussia Park tonight?"
There is something ironic about this question.
The strength currently displayed by Leverkusen is two levels higher than that of the down-and-out Borussia Dortmund!
Shupoting nodded and said slowly: "Leverkusen's No. 10 is very talented..."
Old Man Top was stunned.
This guy can't answer reporters' questions head-on!
Why are you mentioning our Li Kang?
...........
A cold wind howled above Prussia Park.
Fortunately, the stadium's heating facilities are very complete.
Even though the team suffered a miserable six-game losing streak.
Tens of thousands of Borussia fans still came to their seats early to wave flags and cheer for the players!
How loyal are these fans?
In the 2007/08 season, even though Borussia fell into the Bundesliga!
The average attendance per game still reached 40,000!
Looking at Leverkusen again, the Bayer Arena can accommodate half as many people as the opponent!
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"What we are broadcasting for you now is the sixth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"
"Monchengladbach vs. Bayer Leverkusen!"
"The North Rhine Derby!"
"I look forward to the two new coaches giving us an exciting offensive and defensive battle at the Prussia Park Stadium!"
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei!"
A hot air balloon printed with the Bundesliga LOGO soared into the sky.
The referee team led the players from both sides onto the green field.
Cramer was a little confused.
Most of Borussia's main players are injured!
The players in front of me are very unfamiliar!
Brandt suddenly whispered: "Li, that silly big guy looks at you a little weird!"
Li Kang's eyes swept over Gladbach's queue.
Baumjohn, who was at the back of the team... smiled at him, showing his white teeth.
And stopped and stretched out his hand towards Leverkusen No. 10.
"My name is Baumjohn! Nice to meet you!"
Everyone looked stunned.
The referee team couldn't help but look back.
Shuboting jumped up with anger on the sidelines: This idiot doesn't have a good conversation in the tunnel! You were so enthusiastic when you entered the venue!
The Borussia fans didn't react for a moment.
"Oh! The Chinese youngster Li Kang has made a new friend before the start of this North Rhine derby!"
"Baumjohn, a product of the Schalke 04 youth academy! He is also a midfielder!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene!
It's so rare to see people shaking hands and chatting after entering the venue!
.....
Li Kang smiled and politely extended his hand in response.
Baumjohn?
Isn't he the super monster in the FM game?
In this parallel time and space of 2015, he actually started in Monchengladbach!
Baumjohn returned to the queue at the urging of his teammates.
I couldn't help but look back and add: "My grandma is from the Dragon Country! I have a very good friend who is also from the Dragon Country!"
The corners of the mouths of the players on both sides couldn't help but twitch...
There seems to be something wrong with this guy's IQ!
.....
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both teams!"
"Gladbach formed a 3-4-3 formation, goalkeeper: Sommer!"
"Guards: Christensen, Schultz, Janchik!"
"Midfield: Baumjohn, Xhaka, Hermann, Dahoud!"
"Forwards: Traore, Delmic, Rafael!"
"Leverkusen is still in a 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper:..."
Old Man Top suddenly frowned.
In the previous game videos of Borussia Monchengladbach, there has never been a formation with three central defenders!
Dino hurriedly discussed with the coaching staff.
.....
With the referee's whistle!
The game officially begins!
