Chapter 43: Takumi Minamino's provocation
Barcelona.
Heavy rain.
Indoor training gym.
The LED screen replays Schalke 04's match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Accompanied by the voice of excitement of the commentary.
The staff were also clapping.
Assistant coach Winsue blew the whistle for the break.
Suarez approached the big screen and asked suspiciously: "Why are you watching the Bundesliga game, hey!" This kid's straight plug is really good! Lyons! Come and take a look! โ
A staff member turned around and said with a smile: "It's Sister Sophia's adopted son!" He's a big player right now and he's Bayer Leverkusen's main midfielder! โ
Mascherano stepped forward and exclaimed: "He's constantly shaking his head and looking at the situation on the pitch and the movement, it's too much like Xavi." โ
Neymar nodded and agreed: "The style of play is indeed a bit similar, but it is still far from the same in other aspects, but the physical confrontation is very strong!" โ
Rakitic bent over, looked at the big screen carefully, and muttered: "No, you see that his left and right foot passes are great, he is a balanced player!" This kid has a lot of potential! Kicked my old club powerlessly! โ
"Bayer Leverkusen seem to be our opponents in the Champions League group stage?"
None of these people were born in La Masia's academy, so naturally they had never met Aunt Sophia's adopted son.
Iniesta and Busquets looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Before the Champions League draw ceremony, the duo hoped that the dumb Dragons would return to Barcelona.
Messi looked at Bayer Leverkusen No. 10 on the screen and thought for good.
"Well, it's an international break this week, so let's go home," Wensue said. โ
.....
Spanish Football Federation Building.
National team coach Bosque frowned.
"The 19-man squad for the European Championship has been decided! There are still four slots... It's hard to choose! โ
"What a blissful annoyance!"
Assistant Teacher Mignano held a stack of materials and suggested:
"Atletico Madrid's Juanfran and Saul, Real Madrid's Vรกzquez..."
"And Asensio of the national youth team, who also performed well!"
"The squad for the European Championship qualifiers, there is no need to rush."
"I don't think it's necessary to send a full squad to play Japan... You only need to draw a few young men from the national youth team and the national Olympic team, after all, it is an international friendly match. โ
Bosque pondered for a moment and said, "Then you can do it!" Watch out for the impact! Attention to friendship! โ
With that, he left the office.
Mignano was thrilled.
He spread stacks of player profiles on the table.
It's like playing a card game.
Rub your palms together.
According to the formation, the big list is arranged, while talking to himself:
"Little Dennis? Villarreal's super talent! It has to be him! โ
"Li Kang? Asian, Leverkusen's main midfielder! That's not bad either! โ
"There seems to be some overlap between the positions of the two people!"
"Forget it, let's line it up! See what kind of chemistry will happen! โ
"Oops! I missed the strikers.... Never mind! Spain played Euro 2012 without a striker! โ
"This lineup should be able to play back and forth with the Japanese team!"
............
Leverkusen.
Worrall looked helplessly at the call-up letter sent by the Spanish Football Federation.
"Our Lee, who is only 17 years old this year, was selected in the squad of the Spanish national team? Or fly all the way back to Asia to play a friendly match? What to do if you get hurt! The declining Matador dynasty is still looking for a successor to Harvey? โ
The assistant looked embarrassed: "After all, it's an international break, I suggest that the club try to cooperate as much as possible, and Li Kang himself is not very resistant." โ
Worrall sighed, "Okay. โ
Meanwhile.
The Spanish Football Federation officially announced the squad for this week's international break on social media.
Li Kang's name is impressively listed.
The news quickly spread on Dragon Kingdom's online platforms.
"Bayer Leverkusen's talented Dragonborn, selected for the Spanish national team squad! ใ
"Spain sacrifices again without a front! Recreate the peak dynasty of Euro 2012! ใ
Who is Harvey's successor? See you on the international break! ใ
The number of comments, likes, and retweets has skyrocketed.
It's 2015 and the impact of the Spanish national team's three-time consecutive major titles has not waned.
- [Something is wrong, most of Spain's lineup is the national youth team, the young players of the national Olympic team, it should just be a training army, as for Xavi's successor? ] Little Dennis is more like, Li Kang is hard after all! ใ
- [This lineup can play Xiao Ri... A little devil who is doing well? People are the main force in Europe, and it would be outrageous to play. ใ
- [The Japanese team is not the main team, and some players in Europe are paired with young local players from the J-League. ใ
- [Traitor! If you don't come back to play for the national football team, you will go to the Spanish national team! Shame on the face of your ancestors! Two devils! ใ
- [Playing for the national football team? Brother, you don't know how fast modern football is developing and innovating, right? One person can't take it, even if Messi and Ronaldo come together, they can't take it! ใ
- [Plus Habaib and Modric can't take it, really.] ใ
- Why is this topic being discussed? Affects mood. ใ
......
Next.
The international competition week has kicked off.
Dragon Country VS Japan.
The competition was fierce.
The stands on all sides are silent.
The Japanese players wearing the number 18 shirt made a frantic break down the left flank.
"Takumi Minamino, a young player in the Japanese team, performed very well! Former J-League best rookie, Red Bull Salzburg's main striker! โ
"Hey, what's going on? This action is obviously provocative! โ
"Didn't the referee give a card?"
The Dragons' central defender breaks the ball off the touchline.
Takumi Minamino's expression was a little angry, and he walked forward quickly.
Slam your left shoulder into the other person.
There is trash talk in his mouth.
The referee didn't say anything about it.
The Dragon Nation players rushed forward one after another.
Endo stopped in front of Takumi Minamino.
The scene began to be chaotic.
The fans in the stands on all sides are also frantically denouncing the provocative behavior of the Japanese players!
"Let's see what the referee will do!"
"Huh? Why did our player get a yellow card? โ
"This controversy is too obvious!"
Netizens are also angry!
- [If this was a national football player of Li Weifeng's generation, Takumi Minamino would have been choked a long time ago! ] ใ
- [Endo Hang will also be pierced by a trick! ] ใ
- [O Nima! Why is there no blood at all! The kick in the Super League is so big! Why are you so calm when you a little devil? ใ
- [You don't need to be calm at all in this situation, friendly match!] Just do it! ใ
- [What can you say?] Dishes are the original sin! ใ
.....
Post-match press conference.
In the face of the media's outrage.
Takumi Minamino smiled disdainfully.
"I don't want to answer any questions."
"The score says it all."
"Football depends on strength!"
