Chapter 56: Rakitic's Rotational Bench?
The Roma fans at the Stadio Olimpico held signs aloft.
βNO TOTTIοΌNO PARTYβ!
They firmly believe that the great Roman wolf king will change the situation of the game.
Pity.
Totti is old.
When he received the ball in the rib area again and was ready to reorganize the attack.
The sudden arrival of Bayer Leverkusen's No.10 blocked his ball.
"The clash of two No. 10 jerseys!"
"Totti's ability to get out of place is still top-notch... Ay! β
Totti protects the ball sideways and flicks the ball with his heel!
Trying to get out of Bayer Leverkusen's 10 pressing.
The rate of action is much lower than it was back then.
Li Kang leaned back, stepped out of his left leg, and quickly poked the ball with the sole of his foot!
Totti stepped on the air, staggered, and pressed the Chinese to the ground!
At the Olympic Stadium, the hustle and bustle is gradually subdued.
Roma fans don't seem to be willing to believe it.
"Oops! The ball is back on Bayer Leverkusen's side! β
"Li Kang's sabotage is still not foul!"
"Football has come to the feet of Son Heung-min!"
"Bayer Leverkusen's counterattack!"
- [Totti is too watery, right?] γ
- [He is old, his body can't keep up with his consciousness, and he was very strong in ball holding and dribbling when he was young!] Now I can only abuse the vegetables. γ
- [Not entirely for this reason, except for the midfielders of Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern and Chelsea, everyone else will play a little uncomfortable when they encounter Li Kang!] γ
- [What's uncomfortable?] Don't you see that the 39-year-old Totti can still fight with the 17-year-old Li Kang? γ
.....
Bayer Leverkusen's counter-attacking chance was snuffed out by Rudiger.
The ball popped out of bounds.
Totti stood up and pulled Li Kang up.
Patted the back of the Chinese genius's head amicably.
Roma Wolves have always loved young players, and in their careers, they have only beaten Balotelli during the Inter period.
He looked at Bayer Leverkusen 10.
For a while, my thoughts were complicated.
....
Pitchside.
Garcia hesitated for a moment and made a downward gesture towards the Roma backfielder.
Roma had to control the number of attackers and prevent Bayer Leverkusen's counter-attack.
This is only the first round of the group stage.
The other side.
Dino said in surprise: "Boss, did you see that Li Kang just stepped on the ball with the sole of his foot?" β
Old man Toph held his chin and thought, "He's got rid of a bad habit of La Masia's academy again!" I don't just like to touch the ball with the instep and arch of my foot anymore! β
Brandt, who was on the bench, twitched at the corner of his mouth: Can the still pull La Masia?
........
The minutes ticked by.
Bayer Leverkusen's players are on the defensive end and have a lot of physical exertion.
Only then did Li Kang understand the benefits of "green orange flavored sparkling gum".
From time to time, the throat reverberates with the sweetness of green oranges.
So that his attention can always be kept high.
It seems that candy is a way of deceiving the brain to maintain a state of mind.
The cheers at the Olympic Stadium died down.
Beep! Beep~
When the referee blows the whistle for the end of the match.
Old Man Toph and Dino rushed to the green field excitedly!
"Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen! They have won their first Champions League group stage of the season! β
"Chinese teenager Li Kang, in this game, made a pass and a shot, helping the team defeat Roma 2:0!"
"UEFA's official player ratings have also been released! Unexpectedly, Li Kang won the MVP of this game! β
Dragon Kingdom Live Room.
Colorful barrage swipes the screen like crazy.
- [What does this prove?] It proves that we Longguo people can also kick the ball well, but we lack the environment and soil! γ
- [I estimate that before the group stage is finished, Li Kang will be able to score goals and assists in the Champions League... Crushed Park Ji-sung, who was Manchester United back then! γ
- [Don't kill, the second round of the group stage is going to Camp Nou to play Barcelona!] It's not so easy, Li Kang is only 17 years old, as long as there are no injuries and he maintains his condition, sooner or later he can break the record of Asian players in the Champions League. γ
- [I still remember that year in the Champions League, Barcelona 7:1 Bayer Leverkusen, the away fans were kicked and cried! ] γ
.......
The sweetness that Li Kang kept reminiscing about disappeared as the game ended.
He couldn't help but yawn.
Surrounded by teammates.
He staggered and could fall asleep at any moment.
The coaching staff and teammates simply didn't notice that.
Journalists and media also broke through the obstruction of the security personnel, went to the stadium, and handed the microphone to the coach of Leverkusen!
"Mr. Top! I'm Sergil, a journalist for Marca, what do you think of the next group stage game at Camp Nou? β
"Mr. Topp, what kind of magic are you using? Let Barcelona abandon the son and become the most watched talent star in the Champions League this season? β
Marca?
Why didn't this toilet newspaper follow the Champions League matches of La Liga teams and came to Rome?
Old man Toph couldn't hide it when he knew, he struggled: "I didn't do anything, Lee had the ability to control the game when he was in the youth team of Bayer Leverkusen..."
There was a pause.
He said in a solemn tone: "No matter who the opponent is!" There is no way to stop Leverkusen from advancing this year! β
........
Totti shouted encouragement to his frustrated Roma team-mates.
Pjanic got up and patted the grass clippings on his buttocks.
He and Li Kang made an appointment to exchange jerseys before the game.
Although in this game, he was put down three or four times by the Chinese kid.
But it doesn't affect the mood after the game.
"Lee!"
Pjanic approached the Bayer Leverkusen crowd and took off his shirt, revealing a whole piece of his big abs.
Li Kang smiled.
Journalists and media raised their cameras one after another, leaving the moment when the two midfield talents exchanged jerseys.
"Jerry, that's a shame, isn't it? I'd even like to take a picture of Kang Lee and Totti exchanging jerseys! β
"Tom, Totti's time is over! The future of European football is the midfielder who belongs to these two styles! β
..........
The Leverkusen generals returned to their hotel.
Li Kang lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The system's prompt sound echoes in my head...
γDing! Congratulations to the host for completing the task...]
Sun Xingmin helped him tighten the quilt.
Immediately changed into his outfit and wore a cap, sunglasses and mask.
Brant excitedly asked, "Where are you going, take me with you!" I've heard that the pizza in Rome and Naples is the best! and Mazzarella pastries..."
Bender threw over a game console and said solemnly: "Let's play games in the room, we are not going to a children's place to play!" β
Brant was about to retort.
Kramer laughed, "Send a message to tell me what you want to eat!" Will help you pack it back! β
Let's talk about it.
The three of them sneaked out of the hotel room.
Destination.... It's Via Marco in Rome!
.......
The other side.
Barcelona is a guest on the banks of the cold Berezina River.
With a group of substitutes, they easily defeated Borisov 3:0.
No Messi.
There is no Iniesta.
Head coach Enrique was given the microphone by various media outlets... Surrounded by groups.
He didn't seem to be enjoying the victory, and said calmly:
"Bayer Leverkusen beat Roma? I didn't care about that matchup! I'll take time to watch the footage of the game after the game. β
"Yes, in the next round against Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona will send a full main lineup!"
"Li Kang! I've seen the footage of his game and he's a very good young player and if he wants to come back to Barca, he'll be Rakitic's rotation understudy! β
"You know, Barcelona will have multi-front combat pressure every season..."
