The distance between Eindhoven and North Rhine is just over 100 kilometers.
The next Premier League matchday is four days later.
The time left for Arsenal players to adjust is not tight.
Wenger patted Li Kang on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you a day off. Go back and have a look, but you must pay attention to safety..."
Li Kang nodded.
Many coaches in world football are psychologists.
Enke committed suicide by lying on the train, Deisler suffered from depression after being seriously injured, Pessotto jumped off a building, Carlos Tevez had a mental breakdown, Sneijder fainted in the locker room...all these deeds have attracted people's attention.
The Arsenal coach is the father of sports psychology.
The boys at the Kearney training base had to take 117 test questions... and were systematically tested on indicators such as endurance, competitiveness, emotional control, resistance to pressure and aggression.
Wenger repeated the precautions probably seven or eight times.
Li Kang finally parted ways with the club and headed to North Rhine.
Of course, in addition to the assistant, there were also a group of team doctors and masseurs... everyone stepped onto the train in a mighty manner.
...
Arsenal club bus.
Boulder glanced at the results of the tablet and said in surprise: "Boss, Dr. Jacques sent the test results: There is no problem with Li's psychology and IQ...especially his self-awareness, which reached a perfect score, tying the score of the year. Bendtner!"
The corners of Wenger's mouth twitched...
Who is Bendtner?
The "confidence emperor" who was once popular in Asia!
'I will surpass Ibrahimovic in the next three years. ,
'Henry stole my minutes. ,
'Within five years, I will definitely become the top scorer in the Premier League, the top scorer in the World Cup, and the strongest forward in the world. ,
'I can lift an elephant. ,
Take off your pants at the European Cup.
Taking off his pants in the Champions League semi-final.
Beat up teammates during the game.
Insulting a taxi with a bare butt.
Kick the royal princess.
Wear women's underwear.
The professor retracted his messy thoughts, rubbed his temples depressedly, and said decisively: "Li would not do such a thing!"
....
Autumn is in full swing in North Rhine.
The train was speeding along, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed from green to yellow, and finally the boundless golden wilderness.
【Ding! Congratulations on completing the Champions League victory. 】
[Task receipt: It’s so thrilling! A strong PSV...well, such a strong Arsenal. 】
[Congratulations on getting: Platinum Treasure Chest. 】
Li Kang was not interested in watching the contents of the prize pool.
Most of the rewards from treasure chests without affixes are consumable items.
really.
[The platinum treasure chest is opening...]
[Congratulations on getting: God-level Tiger Power Spray! 】
[Tiger Power Spray: A one-time consumable item that can only be used on teammates who have a favorable opinion of you higher than 100, greatly shortening the recovery period for serious injuries! 】
Another prop that goes against the "Turn the Tide" module.
In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer broken legs on the field.
Arsenal players will not be so unlucky.
Clang.
The assistant arranged the suitcase filled with a lot of handicrafts and asked quietly: "Li, are we going to Gelsenkirchen tomorrow?"
Li Kang thought for a while and shook his head.
He was also holding a tablet in his hand, and the Hammers game video was playing on the screen.
Time is too hasty.
The next two rounds of the Premier League are fierce battles in darkness.
The tactical structure and changes of West Ham United and Tottenham are very complex. Regardless of the victory or defeat, Arsenal will leave the field with their skin peeled off.
emotion,
It will just become a distraction.
...
Early next morning.
Li Kang came to Gelsenkirchen.
Accompanied by his assistant, he entered the branch building of Veltins Company in a familiar manner.
The main purpose is to study "endorsing high-quality products that fans can afford." The brokerage team believes that the endorsement fee is one aspect, and endorsements in the fast-moving consumer goods market must find a suitable high-quality product to cooperate with.
'Old friend, Veltins is certainly the first choice.
In the past year, their beer sales topped the list in Europe, especially during the European Cup in France. The beer ads endorsed by Li Kang... went crazy.
Um.
Mainly to discuss cooperation.
Check out Claudia.
From a work perspective, the two do not need to meet at all. Ms. Sandra is the signing representative of Veltins' business cooperation.
It’s just that Li Kang felt that the shadow in his brain had not shown any signs of activity for a long time, and the ghost of the legendary module in the game... appeared less and less frequently, especially that guy Bell, who seemed to only appear when playing against Real Madrid.
I need to find a girl in a wheelchair to "recharge".
Bah bah bah.
He came to visit his only friend of the opposite sex with a very sincere attitude.
...
Ms. Sandra looks good.
She couldn't keep her professional smile, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to compare Li Kang's height with joy.
"Li, you look more and more like Mr. Worrall, the Fox in the Forbidden Zone back then, the prince in the hearts of countless girls!"
The assistant's expression froze slightly.
I really can't associate the old director with the word "prince".
"Ahem, Ms. Sandra, let's discuss preliminary cooperation."
He quickly took out a stack of endorsement plans from his document bag...
...
Li Kang met Claudia.
The girl in the wheelchair still had no color on her face and her lips were pale.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
She smiled.
Just like the misty North Rhine River.
The shadow on Li Kang's brain spread wildly.
He subconsciously covered his chest, trying to disperse the messy emotions.
The suitcase opened quietly.
Wooden shoes of different styles come into view... They are the most distinctive handicrafts of southern Netherlands.
Claudia shook her head.
"It doesn't make sense to me."
Li Kang thought for a while, then bent down to pick up a pair of shoes and slowly approached the cold wheelchair.
...
He often touches men's feet.
In training.
In the game.
Always help a teammate or an opponent with cramps.
I have seen all kinds of calves that are stocky, strong, and slender.
But the girl's feet...he hadn't touched them.
...
The vision seems to be blocked.
His palms felt cold to the touch.
After a while.
Under the black pleated skirt, a pair of colorful wooden shoes with a tulip pattern were exposed.
"I love so much."
The two looked at each other and smiled, no longer communicating.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they looked at Gelsenkirchen, which was being rebuilt... The down-and-out mining city was much more prosperous than last time.
After a long time.
The shadows in Li Kang's brain closed crazily.
He just got up to say goodbye.
....
afternoon.
Leverkusen training base.
Li Kang met his friends who had fought side by side.
Havertz, Brandt, Yonatan Tower...and Kiessling, who became Voller's new assistant after retiring!
Bundesliga
The reunion between young men after a long absence will never lack touch and scratching.
Everyone rushed forward.
He pressed the former son of North Rhine to the turf and ravaged him.
"Lee, if you don't leave North Rhine, we will definitely win the Champions League this season!"
"Use your brain. If Lee hadn't left Leverkusen a lot of money, would we have been able to play so easily?"
"Bayern's new coach this season is so great, Carlo Ancelotti! We spent so much money but we couldn't beat them."
far away.
When Old Man Top saw this scene, he suddenly became furious and ran over angrily.
The sharp voice expressed the dissatisfaction of the Leverkusen coach.
While running, I almost fell.
"You bastards, don't hurt Li!"
"He is our treasure of North Rhine!"
"Damn it, hurry up and let go!"
Everyone laughed and dispersed.
Dino quickly helped Li Kang up.
Old Man Top patted the grass clippings on his former disciple's body distressedly and murmured:
"Bosque doesn't understand how to use your strength at all, and Wenger doesn't understand either... They are not as good as me."
"Why are you laughing? If I were the coach of the Spanish national team or Arsenal, I could win all the championships!"
"Damn, I really want to coach Lee until his last year."
....
Half an hour later.
People in Leverkusen strolled through the empty Honor Museum...
How could it not be empty?
The Bundesliga salad plate won last season is placed in the most obvious position.
The four walls are covered with Li Kang's wonderful moments on the green field.
A black and red Leverkusen No. 10 jersey is placed between the two trophies.
There is a name embroidered on the back of the jersey: Lee
"That guy Voller went to Munich to attend some stupid meeting again."
"He originally planned to build a bronze bust of you, but he met with crazy protests from extreme fans..."
"The plan has not been cancelled. You will be able to see the bronze statue next year."
"You are our hero, you have fulfilled Leverkusen's century-old wish."
"Forget it, you don't care about that crap."
Li Kang smiled.
Listening to the conversation between Old Man Top and Dino, and the laughter of his teammates.
It seems like I have returned to the peaceful days of North Rhine...
....
Chartwell Heath training ground.
Payet is training alone on the field.
In the semi-finals of the European Cup, he once represented the French team. He was seriously injured by Li Kang at the beginning and left the field, losing the opportunity to surprise Europe.
I feel bitter in my heart.
In the process of recovering from his injuries, the seeds of revenge were quietly planted.
'If I wasn't hurt. ,
'How could the French team lose so miserably! ,
'Lee, take a good look, you don't have those top matador teammates around you! ,
This kind of messy thinking has some basis.
Although West Ham United's overall value is low, its strength is not bad.
They faced Arsenal twice last season and achieved one win and one draw.
As long as the team has a well-organized lineup, they can defeat the Premier League BIG6... But no matter how well-organized they are, they will always lose to the relegation teams inexplicably...
The famous name of "The Hammer Gang that robs the rich and gives to the poor" is truly earned.
Will Payet have a shadow because of Li Kang?
Will not.
Personality determines the style of play.
Even if they are Messi, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo... and other superstars, he is fearless.
Just get dirty!
but
In the Premier League showdown not long after, his target was not Li Kang himself...
Are other West Ham players dirty?
Not dirty.
Every time they go on an expedition, they help their opponents clean the away locker room.
Many people disdain Payet's style of play.
This French black egg who is excellent at free kicks has been clamoring every day since he stole the show in the European Cup group stage: Either he wants to return to Marseille, or he wants to go to a giant like Barcelona or Real Madrid.
....
A few days later.
Premier League match day is here.
The sky at the Emirates Stadium was dyed red and white.
Tens of thousands of Islington fans happily waved team flags and scarves.
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
No more slogans and banners insulting players and coaches.
Posters of Wenger and Li Kang were scattered in every corner of the stands like stars.
....
Pre-match press conference.
West Ham United coach Bilic slowly entered the stadium.
His appearance is very distinctive. Many Premier League fans may not remember this person's name, but they will definitely recognize his face.
I can't say he's handsome, but he's a bit handsome.
I can't say it's ugly, but it's a bit ugly.
Very ordinary, but with a strange temperament.
He is a Croatian and was very effective as a player.
In the 1998 World Cup in France, he became famous in one battle. He faked an injury and allowed the referee to send off French superstar Blanco with a red card.
Barely considered Busquets's ancestor.
After retiring...he became the guitarist in a heavy metal rock band.
After a few crazy years, I started my coaching career.
...
During the game, this guy will always make moves full of entertainment elements.
Journalists certainly loved him.
"Mr. Bilic, can you control your emotions tonight?"
The West Ham manager smiled and shook his head.
"There's nothing more crazy than beating Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium!"
"They are first in the standings now, not fourth."
Everyone laughed.
Wenger on the side also laughed.
He didn't lose his temper as politely as before... fight back.
Take your time.
Victory is guaranteed.
"West Ham United is an opponent that deserves our respect."
"Arsenal players will continue their past form."
....
Player tunnel.
Players from both sides briefly greeted each other.
Including Paye.
He took the initiative to climb on Li Kang's shoulder.
"Li, I'm glad we meet again in the Premier League!"
Li Kang had no time to respond.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
【Ding! Mission trigger: Crazy rhythm! 】
[Mission Introduction: The secret to "robbing the rich and giving to the poor"? There is no secret! Let's control the rhythm of the attack! There are no underdogs in the Premier League, and every team has a very distinctive style! 】
[Task reward: West Ham United Legend·Golden Treasure Box. 】
....
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to the sixth round of the 2016/17 Premier League season!"
"Arsenal vs. West Ham United at home."
"Last season, the two sides played against each other twice, and the scores were 0-2 and 3-3!"
"Can Arsene Wenger avenge his disgrace tonight?"
"Let's look forward to it!"
"This is likely to be a breathless contest!"
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were excited.
CTV5 finally won the Premier League broadcast rights.
And the first game is Li Kang's game.
The broadcast time is also perfect: early morning show.
....
Studio.
Barrage flying.
