Far North Rhine.
Leverkusen, a small town, is destined to have no one sleep.
The bar was filled with the sound of exchanging drinks.
The air was filled with the sour smell of malt.
The shirtless man was sipping cherry black beer launched by the Veltins Group in early spring.
"European War Hero!"
"If you want to drink beer, you have to drink Veltins beer endorsed by Lee!"
Under the square’s LED display.
Countless young, old, women and children gathered.
The adults held the Leverkusen flag high, their eyes wild, and they were proud of the warriors fighting at Stamford Bridge.
A group of children, about four or five years old, were chasing a small ball and playing.
"Today it's my turn to be Li! You are Calhanoglu!"
"Adam has the curliest hair, and he has to play Top!"
May 9th Park.
The youth training boys hugged the young girl and said proudly:
"Li and I were teammates! We fought side by side and defeated the youth teams of Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich!"
Stamford Bridge echoes with the singing of North Rhine.
Old man Top rushed into the court like crazy.
Behind him were Dino, members of the coaching staff, team doctors, and substitute players.
Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
London is not the end of Leverkusen!
Van Dijk looked up at the London moon, a few months before he had been the sinner of the Dutch national team, Southampton's disaster.
I couldn't help but patted Jonathan Tower's cheek.
The black central defender was in pain and avoided it.
"We are not dreaming!"
"We won! Li led us to the semi-finals!"
Keesling pulled Li Kang up and gently patted the grass clippings from his hair.
Brandt hugged her excitedly: "I think I can buy another house."
Havertz cheered: "Can the Champions League semi-finals not do their homework?"
Son Heung-min sat on the turf, hung up his headphones, and said firmly to the mobile phone screen: "Xiaoying, it's better not to meet again in the near future. I want to maintain my condition before the semi-finals."
The reporters broke through the obstruction of the security personnel and swarmed into the green field like locusts.
Long guns and short cannons of various shapes were aimed at Leverkusen No. 10.
The spotlight flashed crazily.
All media are aware that this is a historic moment.
Nothing to do with Leverkusen.
It is an important chapter in Li Kang's legendary career.
After Stamford Bridge, the North Rhine genius will finally shine in Europe!
Post-match press conference.
No sign of Hiddink was seen.
This is the habit of the famous Dutch coach for many years: fines are fines, but he doesn't like to attend press conferences.
The Leverkusen coach became the only interview subject for reporters.
"Mr. Top, after fourteen years, Leverkusen has returned to the semi-finals of the Champions League! Is there anything you want to say?"
"Mr. Top, I am a reporter from Marca. Li is a genius raised by us Castilians! How do you feel as a German?"
A series of questions frantically circled Old Man Top's ears.
He tried hard to suppress the anger inside him.
Um.
Now that he is the coach of the semi-finals of the Champions League, he must maintain his grace.
He straightened his tie and said slowly:
"I am very honored to have been able to witness Leverkusen's great moments of reaching the semi-finals twice."
"It's an unusual feeling."
"Lee possesses many precious qualities of German football and North Rhine will always be his home."
"Without him, we would have been eliminated by Manchester United in the Champions League qualifying play-offs."
Only then did the reporters realize: Leverkusen had made it all the way from the Champions League play-offs to the semi-finals!
Leverkusen's luxurious five-star hotel is located in the "Chelsea Village" of Stamford Bridge.
Abu is very generous.
With a wave of his hand, he covered all the expenses for his opponent's food and accommodation in London, and warned the Chelsea Club staff not to disturb Li Kang's transfer talks.
In the hotel lobby.
Brandt looked surprised, looked around, and murmured: "Chelsea is too rich, isn't it?"
Kramer explained: "Chelsea Village was a project that the previous owner, Ken Bates, was struggling with in the early 1990s. It almost went bankrupt, but luckily Abramovich took over!"
Check-in was quick.
Li Kang took the room card and found his room.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission: Stamford Bridge Escape! 】
[Mission receipt: Let you escape being chased by the blue giant beast, but you will not be allowed to crush it]
[Congratulations on getting: Superstar·Dark Gold Treasure Box! 】
A dark golden treasure chest filled with black energy was suspended in mid-air.
This affix should be the top superstar reward, right?
He quickly glanced at the prize pool.
[1%: Messi’s “Absolute Ball Sense” module! 】
[1%: Cristiano Ronaldo's "Golden Edge" module! 】
[1%: Harvey’s “reasonable” module! 】
[1%: Pirlo "subverts" the module! 】

【.】
91Messi’s absolute feel for the ball?
The super "Phnom Penh Lo" before he was seriously injured?
The core of the playing style of the two legendary midfield masters of the previous generation?
Is the reward too generous?
After a while, Li Kang noticed the probability value.
He never plays card games, they all feel like a lie.
[Superstar·Dark Gold Treasure Chest. Now opening]
【Congratulations on getting it.】
[Bell's "Soaring into the Clouds and Riding on the Mist" module! 】
[Between two points, Bell is the shortest! 】
[He is a golfer. 】
[He introduced "soleus" to fans all over the world. 】
[Additional attribute improvement: None! 】
[Special effects: unknown, dual modules! 】
[Negative effect: After this module is triggered, your soleus muscle will suffer a huge load. 】
No speed increase?
Or a dual effects module?
As for the negative effects of the soleus muscle, it is not a big problem in the face of injury and immunity.
Numerous cracks were revealed on the surface of the dark gold treasure chest.
The crack glowed with dazzling white light, completely covering Li Kang.
After a long time.
Li Kang sat on the carpet dripping with sweat.
Covering his calf in pain.
The system beep sounded again.
【Ding! The Champions League "Semi-Four" achievements are unlocked! 】
[Rewards are being distributed]
[Congratulations on getting: Advanced Attribute Point*1! 】
[Advanced attribute points: Can be used for single attribute values in the range of 90-99! 】
Li Kang fell into thinking.
There seem to be quite a few physically strong stars like Diego Costa among the top four teams.
He reached out and poked at the properties panel.
[Physical confrontation: 91 → 92! 】
Didi didi.
The phone suddenly rang with a series of urgent messages.
Li Kang took a look and silently turned off the phone.
Be self-disciplined.
Don't play with girls after every game.
Shortly after the game ended.
Reports of the battle at Stamford Bridge were overwhelming and spreading crazily on the online media.
"Big upset!" Leverkusen eliminated Chelsea and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again after 14 years! 》
"Two passes and one shot?" An in-depth analysis of Li Kang's breakthrough against Mourinho's defensive system in two rounds, and the greatness behind the goal! 》
"Hiddink was disgraced, refused to attend the press conference after the game, and was the private mistress of Thames!" 》
"Back to nature, the Chinese genius' super long-distance push kills the game!" 》
"The Youth Storm of North Rhine Sweeps Europe!" 》
The number of likes, comments and retweets continues to soar! -
[Fake news, right? 】
-
[The first top four of this season is born! Bayer Leverkusen! 】
-
[Whether Li Mingdeng can compete at the top of the Champions League depends on the draw of the semi-finals! 】
-
[Do you still want to draw lots? Is there no division between upper and lower halves? 】
-
[It has been canceled for many years, but I heard that UEFA is planning to reinstate the semi-final division rules in a few years! 】

[It would be great to reach the semi-finals. The defensive problem is too serious. No matter which team is drawn in the semi-finals, they will be crushed! 】

[Axi, Lee Kang and Son Heung-min have proved the fact that we yellow people can also play football well and become superstars! 】
-
【Do you still have time to comment? Hurry up and save the photos! 】
-
[I announce that the second semi-finalist is born! Barcelona! 】
The words are divided into two parts.
Enrique is miserable.
Calderon Stadium.
The LED scoreboard in mid-air showed a shocking score.
Atletico Madrid 2:0 Barcelona!
MSN misfires!
The iron midfield trio of Iniesta, Rakitic, and Busquets was strangled by Atletico Madrid stars and was unable to fight back!
Enrique wanted to take control of the game with his one-goal lead in the first round.
He directed Barcelona to keep kicking in the backcourt.
But the connection between the frontcourt and the backcourt was severed by Simeone's crazy high pressure!
After Atletico Madrid successfully seized the ball, they grabbed Barcelona's left wing and beat them hard.
Just to catch you because Alba is short!
Just to catch you, Pique likes to be out of position to help defend!
Griezmann scored twice!
Barcelona fans who traveled with the army complained: The turf of the Calderon Stadium is too slippery!
What about MSN?
There is no midfield support.
Messi, Neymar, and Suarez don't have much chance to touch football.
They pose no threat to Atletico Madrid's iron barrel formation.
Football is a team sport.
Beep! Beep beep~
finally.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Enrique knelt on the ground, his expression dull.
Simeone put his hands in his pockets and looked down upon the audience.
Barcelona.
Robert sat in the dark office.
He trembled all over while listening to the passionate commentary coming from the TV.
Barcelona was eliminated.
Barcelona, with its historic striker MSN, was eliminated!
Leverkusen advances to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The abandoned La Masia general who was sold by Barcelona for 1 million euros is famous in Europe!
The words I once said to Enrique kept echoing in my ears:
“The dog will come home when he’s hungry!”
"The record proves everything. As long as Barcelona defends the Champions League, no one will point fingers at us for an abandoned player."
Experienced glory.
You have to go through troughs.
Kingship has no eternity!
Madrid.
Modric looked at the news of Leverkusen's promotion and his joy was beyond words.
"There is a high probability that we will meet Leverkusen in the semi-finals!"
Bell shook his head and frowned: "What are you thinking about? Let's say this again after we win against Manchester City tomorrow! Don't be like Barcelona and be overturned by Atletico Madrid!"
Turin.
Juventus Club.
Buffon was practicing shooting with Morata while listening to Bonucci read the news.
"I knew Li Kang could make it to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He is a silent genius, just like me when I was 18."
"Next, it's up to us!"
"Alvaro! Can you fucking hit the door frame? My gloves are still clean!"
not far away.
Pogba looked unhappy.
Hands caressing new hairstyle.
"Li Kang is more like Balotelli than me!"
"If Leverkusen comes to Turin, I will let him know who is right."
Snapped!
Chiellini kicked the ball hard.
"If you can pass Bayern tomorrow, stop talking nonsense!"
Etihad Stadium.
Pellegrini sat under the dim street lights and said goodbye to the Manchester City boys who had finished training one by one.
The confidence and state shown by everyone can increase the confidence of the Blue Moon coach.
What a perfect central axis!
Manchester City has the top lineup configuration!
The only thing missing from the honor room is a Champions League championship trophy!
Yaya Toure, David Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne, Kompany and Joe Hart?
The assistant coach put a coat on the old coach.
"Boss, don't think too much, Real Madrid has no absolute advantage to eliminate us."
Pellegrini shook his head and sighed:
"Real Madrid has incredible dominance in the European competition. I have a feeling that with this Galactico, no team will be able to check them in the Champions League in the next few years."
"unless."
"Unless Manchester City have Lee!"
"Li is the last piece of the puzzle for Blue Moon to win the championship!"
"If he comes to the Etihad Stadium, he will definitely lead Manchester City to the top of Europe!"
Bayern Munich.
Guardiola is holed up in a humble office.
He lay at the desk and kept writing and drawing.
Torrent stepped forward curiously and said in surprise: "Boss, our opponent tomorrow is Juventus! Not Leverkusen!"
Guardiola touched his bald head and said: "I know that there is still a crucial championship life-or-death battle between Bayern and Leverkusen in the Bundesliga."
The Bayern assistant coach can't understand his brain circuit at all!
The Champions League is more important.
We only drew with the Serie A overlords in the first leg.
Shouldn’t the purpose of all-night tactical preparations be how to defeat Juventus?
What are you doing?
Are you still studying Leverkusen’s Li Kang’s playing style?
Something is wrong!
Judging from the contents of the draft, it doesn’t seem like you are going to deal with Li Kang?
Is it more like a strategy built around Li Kang as the core?
Torrent looked confused.
"Boss, are we moving again?"
The next day.
Leverkusen training base.
The haze in everyone's hearts quietly dissipated.
Old Man Top gave all his teammates a day off.
after all.
The Champions League semi-finals are in a month's time.
This weekend's Bundesliga opponent is still mired Hamburg.
no pressure.
What Leverkusen is best at is: being submissive in the Champions League and hitting hard in the Bundesliga!
Even on vacation.
There is no shortage of players on the training ground either.
Almost all members of the first team are training hard.
They cherish the hard-won opportunity of the semi-finals!
Semifinals.
The battle for the Bundesliga title.
German Cup quarterfinals.
Even if Leverkusen got a chance to breathe, they couldn't relax.
After finishing a morning of training.
Havertz drove a small broken car, took Li Kang and Brandt to Aachen, a small city 40 miles away.
That's his hometown.
There is no special program. He likes to raise donkeys. Donkeys are one of the most important partners in his life. He must introduce them to his good friends!
