Chapter 49: The Champions League group stage is coming?

After the game.

As soon as Henrichs returned to the dressing room, he was scolded by Coach Top.

"Have you wasted all your energy on the belly of a pheasant? Seven must-score chances wasted in one game! Stop playing as a striker! Go play defenders! ”

Henrichs exclaimed, "Chief! Are you sure? The new youth coach also said I was better suited to full-back! ”

Old Man Toph stomped his feet angrily, cursed twice, and turned around to attend the post-match press conference.

Havertz changed his clothes and took a watch from the cabinet and slipped it into his trouser pocket.

Hugged it vigorously.

"Lee, is this a dream? You helped me score my first Bundesliga goal! ”

The first goal of the Bundesliga debut is the dream of every academy player.

Only Li Kang, a monster, will not have too many mood swings.

Kramer took out his watch and looked at it, muttering, "Tsk, if this watch is exchanged for money at a pawnshop, you can buy a car!" ”

Li Kang shook his head with a smile and hurriedly returned it to Havertz.

Even without himself, the first half of the other party's career will be a smooth road.

......

Henrichs suggested that the group go to the park on May 9, but the crowd refused.

Captain Bender had a serious expression and said seriously:

"No, it's the Champions League group stage opener... We have to keep the energy up! ”

"The Italian girl in Via Marco Street in Rome is tough!"

Henrichs looked disappointed.

Playing in the Champions League, he can't get into the squad.

Didn't make small talk for too long.

Li Kang returned to the first-team dormitory.

The system prompt sounded quietly.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a Bundesliga! 】

【Rewards are being distributed...】

[Congratulations to the host for getting: Golden Treasure Chest!] 】

Defeating a team of Darmstadt's caliber does not trigger additional rewards.

The prize pool of the Golden Chest does not even have the skill module of the famous star.

It's all players that Li Kang doesn't know.

Regardless, before the Champions League group stage, any rewards matter!

【The Golden Treasure Chest is Open...】

[Congratulations to the host for getting: Green orange flavored sparkling gum!] 】

[Green orange flavored sparkling gum: Contain one before the game, it will make you energetic throughout the game! No stat buffs! 】

[This consumable is only visible to the host, and can only be used by the host, with a shelf life of half a year.] 】

What the hell is this?

Li Kang: "..."

....

Bayer Leverkusen on the training ground.

Dino ran over with two large speakers in tow.

Kiessling asked curiously, "Are you going to let us relax?" ”

No one from the coaching staff answered.

Beep!

Old man Toph blew his whistle and waved his hand vigorously.

Signaling the official start of the group competition.

Dino set up the speakers on the sidelines and pressed the start keyboard.

“VamosBarca!!!”

“VamosBarca!!!”

“VamosBarca!!!”

Barcelona's cheering slogan resounded over the Leverkusen training base!

The players were stunned.

"Go on! Don't stop! ”

Old man Toph waved for the game to continue.

"Don't forget that we scored seven goals in a single game in the Champions League a few years ago!"

"Bayer Leverkusen want to wash away the shame at Camp Nou!"

"Lads! We need to seize this opportunity! Defend the dignity of Leverkusen! ”

The shrill voice, which seemed to drown out the sound of the stereo, echoed in the ears of every Bayer Leverkusen player!

The night at Camp Nou three years ago...

Barcelona's reign of terror is simply ...

Bang Bang Bang!

Dino clapped vigorously and suddenly interjected, "Boss! Well said! But our first game was against Roma..."

...........

The last Champions League clash between Bayer Leverkusen and Roma.

Back in 2004.

The person who made the headlines on the front page of the year was: Dimitar Berbatov VS Totti.

It's been 11 years.

The Roman figure is still Totti.

Leverkusen's layout character was changed to Li Kang.

The whole world thinks that Barcelona will definitely qualify as the top of Group E.

Roma and Bayer Leverkusen are left in contention for second place.

Some people even think that Borisov of the Belarusian Super League can upset the qualification with the "ice and snow environment BUFF".

Fans on both sides, using translation software, quarreled on European online platforms.

Roma fans are clearly more combative, and the Italian Football Federation and FIFA have worked hard for decades, and various fines have not been able to solve the problem of racial discrimination at the Olympic Stadium.

- [Don't steal the camera, we didn't take Leverkusen in our eyes at all!] Barcelona is what qualifies as our opponent. 】

- [We admit that Li Kang is excellent, but Totti is even more amazing when he is 17 years old!] 】

- [Enrique is a dog, he set a losing streak in team history when he coached Roma!] If he comes to the Olympic Stadium, don't think about leaving alive! What? Bayer Leverkusen's coach is Topp? I've never heard of it! 】

- [Leverkusen is just a plate of appetizers, the main dish is Barcelona!] 】

.........

Wednesday.

The opening match of the Champions League group stage is here.

Li Kang finished the warm-up training in the morning and took the plane to Rome with his teammates.

After taking your seat.

He took a green orange-flavored sparkling gum in his mouth, opened the system panel, and observed the changes in his attributes.

[Ball control: 76; Passing: 82.】

[Shots: 71; Headers: 68; Set-pieces: ??.]

[Radian: 70; Speed: 79+5↑; Foot power: 78↑.】

[Jump: 70; Physical contact: 84↑; Stamina: 82↑.】

[Defense: 78; steal 81 ↑; Goalkeeping: 40.】

With sparkling gum in it, the attribute value does not fluctuate in any way.

As for the small arrow, it is still the blessing of the destructive midfield template.

When the value of a single attribute exceeds 80, the improvement is very slow.

Even if you benefit from the template bonus, you don't get a very exaggerated boost, except for physical contact.

He couldn't help but think: If Drogba had an attribute panel, the body contact attribute should be bursting.

........

Two and a half hours later.

The plane passed through the thick clouds.

Landing at Fiumicino Airport.

The Bayer Leverkusen generals walked out of the pick-up gate.

The cordon is full of Asians!

“Son!!!”

“Lee!!!”

"Li Kang !!"

The players were stunned.

How many languages!

Sun Xingmin looked embarrassed and said: "When I returned to China to participate in a friendly match, I saw the news, and some experts in South Korea... said that Lee's girlfriend was a member of a Korean girl group, and they thought that Lee must be able to understand Korean, so they judged that Lee also had Korean ancestry..."

Kiessling couldn't help but laugh: "Sun, I still remember that your compatriots said that Messi is also Korean!" There was a lot of sophisticated analysis in the article, and I almost believed it at the time! ”

The crowd laughed.

Sun Xingmin's face turned red, and he had no way to refute, so he could only wave his hand and say hello to the fans.

Li Kang shook hands with the Chinese fans, and then at the urging of Dino, he got on the club bus.

......

Along.

There are no old and magnificent buildings of the Baroque type.

Not a single church sanctuary was seen.

Li Kang looked at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, with neon lights, and felt a little regretful.

Bender patted him on the shoulder: "After the game, come with us to Viamaco Street!" There's a Renaissance there! ”

Bella Rabi excitedly said, "Take me!" ”

Kramer frowned: "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me, the big white girl there doesn't do black business!" The inhabitants of the city of Rome have a strong sense of superiority! Even the homeless discriminate against blacks! Ever heard that joke? Even the black players of Lazio and Roma are discriminated against by their own fans. ”

Sun Xingmin asked, "Why don't they discriminate against yellow people?" ”

Kramer shook his head: "It's also discriminatory, but it's not that serious, because Hidetoshi Nakata used to be a hero of the city of Rome." ”

.....

An hour later.

Pre-match press conference.

Roma manager Garcia stood up and faced the old man Topp.

With a warm and humble attitude, it's almost like a kiss on the hand!

Old man Toph is a little uncomfortable.

Aren't Roma coaches notoriously arrogant? Why are you so doggy in front of yourself?

The reporters at the scene applauded.

Someone suddenly shouted: "This is the etiquette of Mr. Double Champion to Coach Sanya Wang!"

Garcia hurriedly waved his hand, walked back to his seat, adjusted the microphone and said: "I can win the championship in Ligue 1, it doesn't mean that I have the same competitiveness in the Bundesliga, I watched many cases of Mr. Top's games when I was taking the coach's license!" He's one of my idols! ”

"Personally, I think Bayer Leverkusen is more difficult to play against than Enrique's Barca!"

Dig a groove, this Frenchman can really blow it!

Tope straightened his suit and tie and sat down on the small podium.

"Garcia is a very good coach who led Roma to a team winning streak and a team that was messed up by Enrique... He brought him back to the Champions League! I'm very optimistic about him! ”

All of a sudden.

Journalists were reminded of Enrique's coaching experience in Rome.

It was in 2011 that the new Roma boss hired Enrique with a high salary, hoping that the legend, who has both Real Madrid and Barcelona roots, would bring tactical changes to Roma.

Pity.

Enrique's series of comical operations brought this Serie A powerhouse into the gutter...

He became the heart of the Roma fans... Someone who will never forgive.

Even if he led Barcelona to win the Champions League last season, many European media compared him to a "leashed dog crown"!

.........

Players' tunnel at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

It is the most spacious and modern one Li Kang has ever seen.

It can't even be called a "channel".

Even the blue carpet under your feet will feel warm.

It is a stadium built for the Olympic Games.

"Lee! Thanks to Maldini for your luck, let's meet again so soon! ”

Pjanic patted Li Kang's shoulder and smiled brightly: "I hope we can meet again in the draw ceremony for the round of 16, Miss Melanie has recently replied to my message!" ”

Time.

Players on both sides were amused by the remark.

The atmosphere of the originally dignified passage suddenly became a little more relaxed.

..........

“CTV5! CTV5! ”

"Welcome to the first round of the 2015/16 Champions League Group E group stage!"

"Roma at home against Bayer Leverkusen!"

"It's going to be a big conversation, and both teams have had a lot of talent in recent years! What kind of sparks will they create? Let's wait and see! ”

"I'm the commentator of this game, Duan Xuan!"

"I'm He Wei!"

Dragon Kingdom Live Room.

The barrage gradually increased.

- [Sparks? There's a spark in Rome? Wake up to another draw! The nickname of "Luo Xiaoping" is not called in vain! 】

- [Last season, Roma drew nine games in a row, scared! ] It's either 0-0 or 1-1! Even in the contest of strong dialogues, Roma only has these two scores! 】

- [I don't want to see Barcelona and Real Madrid abuse the dishes separately, or this game is good-looking, there is suspense! ] 】

- [Nonsense, how many years can Messi and Ronaldo play? ] They've got one less game to watch! I recommend that after the game, be sure to watch the highlights of the peerless duo! 】

....

Olympic Stadium.

The passionate Champions League theme song came to an abrupt halt.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the aisle.

Tens of thousands of Roma fans suddenly erupted into a landslide and tsunami of shouts!

The huge slogan shook like a flame as the fans jumped.

“Roma!!! Roma!!! ”

“Roma!!! Roma!!! ”

“Roma!!! Roma!!! ”

The moment Li Kang stepped on the green field.

The system prompt sounded quietly.

【Ding! Random Chest Quest Trigger: Conquer the Olympics! 】

[Mission Description: Some people say that in the late nineties, Catenaccio tactics were already obsolete!] But the current Roma boss may be the system... Last defender, don't be fooled by the opponent's 4-3-3 formation! Defeat this tough red wolf! Let your name resound in the Champions League! Even if it's the first rival of your career! 】

[Reward: Legend of Rome - Platinum Chest!] 】

What is the Catenaccio tactical system?

The early translators of football in the Dragon Kingdom mistranslated the word as: chain defense.

Who would have thought that in 2015, the tactics abandoned by the local coach of Serie A would be carried forward by a French coach?

The first arch-rival?

Li Kang looked up at the night sky in Rome.

Starry-studded.

........

"Here's an introduction to the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Roma have a 4-3-3 formation, which is very surprising!"

"Goalkeeper: Szczesny!"

"Left-back: Florenzi!"

'Centre-back: Manolas with Rudiger!'

"Right-back: Digne!"

"Double midfielder: De Rossi with Nainggran!"

"Central midfielder: Keita!"

"Forwards: Pjanic, Dzeko, Salah!"

"Bayer Leverkusen also lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Leno!"

"Left wing-back: Hilbert!"

"Centre-backs: Jonatan Ta, Papadopoulos!"

"Right wing-back: Borges!"

"Two midfielders: Bender, Kramer!"

"Midfielder: Son Heung-min, Li Kang, Brandt!"

"Striker: Kiessling!"

Dragon Kingdom Live Room.

Netizens laughed.

- [Sure enough, it's a duel between spear and shield!] As a result, Roma attacked, and Bayer Leverkusen defended? 】

- [In 2015, you can't rely on the formation to judge the tactical tendencies of the coaches of both sides, Garcia and Top's on-the-spot changes are very frequent, and the starting formation can only be referenced! ] 】

- [Personally, I think that the young players in the lineup of both teams will become the main force of the giants in a few years...]

- [Totti is too old to make the starting lineup!] How many years has De Rossi been the second, it is estimated that he will have to survive until he retires! 】

- [Milan's two giants have declined in recent years, Napoli and Lazio's state has fluctuated too much, and the Champions League is only supported by Juventus and Roma! ] Go for the Serie A team! 】

......

Beep!

Accompanied by a whistle from the referee.

The opening match of Group E of the Champions League group stage has officially begun.
