Frankfurt is the fifth largest city in Germany.
It is also the hub of Germany.
It is even an important commercial, financial and transportation center in Europe.
It is one of the few cities with a skyline.
As of 2016, eight of the ten tallest buildings in Europe are in Frankfurt.
Trace the brief history of Europe.
Frankfurt was once called the "root of evil".
Because of this important hub, Germany and France have been at war for hundreds of years.
If the timeline is further extended, we have to talk about the Holy Roman Empire
Main International Airport.
Leverkusen players walked out of the airport.
Li Kang took out his phone and canceled airplane mode.
The notification bar pops up like crazy.
It's all Morata's information, no text content, the guy loves to share his goal highlights.
Swipe the screen to the end.
Then I saw Asuka-chan’s message.
"Li Sang, the cherry blossoms are blooming along the Main River."
The cherry blossoms in Frankfurt bloom earlier than Asuka-chan’s hometown.
Neon Girl is on the rise of her career. In just over half a year, she has become the darling of Asian fashion magazines and often flies to Europe for location shoots.
The two lost contact again a while ago.
Li Kang did not reply to the message, but put his phone into his backpack.
Regardless of the strength of your opponent, you should focus on the game at this time.
Leverkusen is obviously only a two-hour drive from Frankfurt, so why fly?
Because of this special period, the route from North Rhine to Hesse is the hardest hit area by the refugee flow.
For example: many areas in Germany have become hell. No, it's India.
The total value of Leverkusen's players exceeds 100 million euros, and the club does not dare to take this risk.
There were no setbacks along the way.
The Leverkusen team finally arrived safely at Frankfurt's home court: Commerzbank Arena.
Because the game was held in the afternoon local time, the pre-game press conference seemed particularly hasty.
Frankfurt's coach's nickname is "dumb" Thomas Schaff!
He led Werder Bremen to achieve the "Double Champion" in 2004!
Why is it called dumb?
he hardly speaks
His teacher was even more famous, Rehagel!
Super, super, huge, world-famous marshal!
The creator of the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern"!
The divine messenger of “Greek Mythology”!
A legendary coach who only dared to appear in China.
The fantasy level of the two coaching experiences is comparable to: leading the national football team to the semi-finals of the World Cup!
Business arena.
There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.
Frankfurt is very weak this season, but the support from the fans is very strong.
The 12-year-old eagle, Attila, soars on the green field.
It is the mascot of Frankfurt.
The hot air balloon with the Bundesliga LOGO printed on it slowly rose into the sky.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to the fifteenth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"
"Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Leverkusen!"
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"
"Frankfurt has a 4-4-2 formation."
"Goalkeeper: Hradecki!"
"Right back: Makoto Hasebe!"
"Center defenders: Zambraro, Abraham!"
"Left back: Ochipuka!"
"Double defensive midfielders: Lars, Stendela!"
"Central midfielder: Aigner, Justi!"
"Forward: Seferovich, Mel!"
"Leverkusen is still in a 4-3-3 formation!"
"Goalkeeper:"
The game started.
Frankfurt has the ball.
There was no hint of defensiveness.
No matter who your opponent is, fight to the end!
"It's advancing very fast!"
"Makoto Hasebe!"
"A very comprehensive Japanese overseas star who can play multiple positions on the field!"
"Although he is a full-back! But we see that he likes to advance through the middle!"
"Frankfurt is in a relegation quagmire!"
"Thomas Schaaf believes in attacking football!"
"Even when facing the top team in the Bundesliga, Attila the Eagle is never afraid!"
The words just fell!
Rabbi Bella cut off Makoto Hasebe's advance!
Quickly passed the ball diagonally to Leverkusen's No. 10 who came over!
Li Kang touched the ball and passed it to Borges who came in from the wing!
The latter is a winner!
Easily broke through the double team of Lars and Aigner!
The ball hits the ribs!
Borges kicked off at a 45-degree angle and made a cross!
The football made an arc in mid-air and plummeted into Frankfurt's penalty area!
The placement is not very good.
But Frankfurt's defense is fragile.
Kiessling jumped high after a simple run-up! Overwhelm Zambraro and Abraham, hit the goal with a header!
0:1! ! !
The Champions League is submissive, and the Bundesliga strikes hard!
"Frankfurt paid the price for his madness!"
"The difference in strength is a bit big!"
After Kiesling scored, he rushed to the camera in the corner flag area and slapped his forehead in excitement.
He is 32 years old this year. He has played for Bayer Leverkusen for ten years and won the Bundesliga Golden Boot. He is called the "low-end version of Ibrahimovic".
He was only selected for the 2010 World Cup squad in South Africa, and his total playing time on behalf of the German team as a substitute was less than 45 minutes.
His career is closely linked to Leverkusen: he has never won a championship!
The game was uneventful.
Frankfurt simply cannot rely on the numerical advantage in the midfield to complete the choke.
Li Kang steadily controlled the rhythm of the game and gradually helped Leverkusen completely control the situation.
The fierce confrontation quickly disappeared.
Frankfurt was pressed into frantic friction in the penalty area.
How to fight against each other?
I can't even grab the ball!
"Phenomenal dominance!"
"Li Kang is the most stable midfielder in the Bundesliga this season!"
"So far this season! His passing success rate in each game is as high as 86% on average! Xavi and Pirlo are close to their peak!"
"Of course, this statistic is a bit one-sided. It is only meaningful to compare based on the intensity of the league!"
The 38th minute of the game.
Li Kang sent a precise through ball!
Son Heung-min shook off Ochipka.
Like a loach, it burrows into the most delicate and dangerous area of Frankfurt!
After catching the ball, he made a slight adjustment and hit the club with a powerful kick!
Frankfurt's net was raised again!
0:2! ! !
Son Heung-min excitedly ran back to Li Kang and high-fived him in celebration!
“Asia Connection!”
"Once upon a time, we also had a player who played for Frankfurt! He contributed many wonderful goals!"
Courtside.
Old Man Top suppressed the urge to celebrate.
After all, he was once the meritorious coach of the Eagle Legion.
Dino called on the players on the bench to take the time to warm up.
Two members of the coaching staff are quietly preparing technical and tactical analysis for the Champions League quarter-finals.
The other side.
Thomas Schaff looked calm and still gestured gently to the players on the court.
His style fits Frankfurt very well: attack! Or attack!
The 68th minute of the game!
Rabbi Bella received a pass from Li Kang and kicked the ball!
The football rolled softly into the arms of goalkeeper Hradecki.
The latter has a unique skill: super-powerful hand throwing.
The game is deeply loved by players!
The football roared towards the center circle!
Mel, who had been lurking for a long time, suddenly activated!
This player is very strange. His other abilities are mediocre, but he is very lucky. He has scored many strange goals!
Unfortunately, before he could run a few steps, he was blocked by a tall and burly figure.
Van Dyke!
Mel felt hopeless.
The Dutch centre-back's ability is not only reflected in his retreat.
Facing weaker opponents.
Van Dyke showed terrifying frontal interception ability!
Snap!
Leverkusen had possession of the ball again.
This duel completely lost its suspense.
Leverkusen completely crushed their opponents on both offense and defense.
In the 92nd minute of the game, injury time came.
Li Kang was 35 meters away from the goal and blasted a world-wide kick!
The Frankfurt goalkeeper was stunned!
0:3! ! !
"pretty!"
"The goal went in!"
"The referee blew the whistle to end the game!"
"Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen!"
“Three heart-pounding victories came after the winter break!”
"Looking like a champion!"
"Five days from now, Leverkusen will sit in North Rhine and face the Premier League giants - Chelsea!"
"let us wait and see!"
Studio.
-
[Leverkusen stopped and carried out a large-scale rotation, obviously it can cause a massacre in Frankfurt! 】
-
[The Champions League quarter-finals will be in a few days! It's understandable, it would be nice if I didn't replace the Li Ming Deng! 】
-
[Leverkusen should not be able to survive Chelsea. Hazard beat Van Dijk several times in the Premier League. 】
-
[Not necessarily, Li Mingdeng is invincible at home! 】
-
[Who knew, football is round! 】
Commercial athletics stadium.
Security personnel evacuated spectators from the stands.
There was no time for players from both sides to exchange jerseys and thank the fans.
special period.
Just after shaking hands with the referee team.
They quickly returned to their respective locker rooms and prepared to leave.
Post-match press conference.
Media reporters enthusiastically asked questions.
Thomas Schaff was silent.
He is famous as the "mute coach" in Germany, and he also doesn't like to talk when facing the media.
Old Man Top seemed to be in a good mood and kept talking:
"Frankfurt is very tenacious. They did not give up their attack until the last moment of the game!"
"Offensive football will not be overwhelmed by the tide of the times!"
"Forget the score! Judging from the scene, Frankfurt has not been defeated!"
"Refugee riots? I just want to talk about football now."
The audience burst into thunderous applause!
Many of the local reporters in Frankfurt are also home fans.
They have not forgotten the great contribution that old man Top made to this club in the last century!
Half an hour later.
The Leverkusen team returned to their hotel.
Son Heung-min, Cramer and others did not dare to go out to experience the local customs. The Bafask Street, which was full of colorful neon lights, was the area hardest hit by goblins.
Fortunately, the standard of the hotel is slightly higher and there are many supporting leisure facilities.
Old Man Top rented a small conference room, and the coaching staff quickly got into intensive tactical deployment.
Li Kang returned to the room alone. His teammates understood his habits and would not bother him.
Open the curtains and you will see the tranquil banks of the Main River.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the Bundesliga Random Treasure Chest weekly mission! 】
[Task reward: Frankfurt Legend·Golden Treasure Chest. 】
[The treasure chest is opening]
[Congratulations on getting: Yang Chen’s “Pathfinder” module! 】
[The start was cold, and I actually joined Frankfurt! 】
The modular furnace suddenly stood in front of him.
Black mist filled the whole room!
Three low-level modules, glowing with white light, are suspended above the furnace!
[Modules are being integrated]
[Congratulations to the host for getting: Ronaldinho "Devil's Arc" module (special)! 】
[Not only does he have the pace of an elf, he can also set off a devilish arc! 】
[Additional attribute improvement: arc 85 → 95! 】
[Extra effect: You will be immersed in the game and enjoy the joy of football. 】
In a trance.
Everything around Li Kang changed drastically.
2002 World Cup.
Brazil vs England.
Ronaldinho, 22, has a green smile.
One battle to become a god.
The river of time flows again.
Li Kang came to his senses.
The joy gradually dissipated.
From the memory fragments of the broken shadow, he realized that the "Devil's Arc" is not a passive module, and it does not only act on set pieces, but all ways of playing the ball and shooting!
Picking up the phone, I found that only three minutes had passed.
Several messages pop up in the notification bar.
Or Asuka-chan.
It turned out that she was in transit in Frankfurt and would be stranded for one night.
Neon Girl is on the rise of her career. In just a few months, she has become the favorite model of Asian fashion magazines and often flies to Europe for location shoots.
Li Kang declined the invitation.
He didn't want to go out and see the cherry blossoms in Frankfurt.
Restless refugees lurk in every corner of the city.
Five days later will be the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the opponent will still be Chelsea.
after an hour.
Asuka-chan came to the hotel room.
"Li Sang, I brought you a gift."
She combed her bangs and had a cold face when she wasn't talking.
The two walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the desolate Main River.
Young buds sprouted from the tops of the plane trees on the river bank.
After a long silence.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
Asuka-chan's cheeks were red and she looked a little embarrassed. She said nervously: "Li Sang, I."
Li Kang smiled.
The neon girl was stunned and couldn't help but smile shyly.
The two met at the end of their childhood.
At that time, Leverkusen's No. 10 had not yet shaken off the title of "mascot" and represented the Spanish national team in Japan for the first time.
At that time, Asuka-chan's career was improving slightly.
In a trance.
Asuka-chan recalled the dim street lights on Ginza Street, the sycamore leaves on La Rambla, and the wind on the banks of the Thames.
She smiled even more intoxicatedly.
Only then did Li Kang have the opportunity to look at the opponent carefully at close range.
Long eyelashes.
The skin is very white, like snow, like the snow in Hokkaido.
The cold reality will eventually crush the beauty.
"Li Sang, I can't give up my career."
"You will definitely meet a better girl."
"sorry"
Asuka-chan mustered up great courage, closed her eyes and stood on her toes.
After a long time.
She frowned and opened her eyes.
Where did Li Sang go?
Where did the sweet first love go?
Li Sang went to Havertz and Brandt's room next door and made the floor.
What sweet first love?
He didn't kiss Asuka-chan at all.
Be self-disciplined.
