Chapter 125: Daily Life, Proceed with Caution

Ms. Sika Ya's emotional management ability is very strong.

Moments later.

She adjusted her mindset, smiled and said: "Chelsea's defensive strength is unrivaled in Europe, especially our goalkeeper Ku Er Tu Wa..."

The TV speaker suddenly let out a burst of cheers.

On the big screen.

Yin Bu received a pass from a teammate on the left side of the front field, 40 meters from the goal, and launched a tremendous long-range world-class shot.

Such destructive power.

Leaving Ku Er Tu Wa helpless!

Could only watch as the ball traced a strange arc in midair before crashing into the net!

"..."

Ms. Sika Ya's smile froze.

Damn it, is today not a good day to talk?

Moments later.

The match on the TV screen remained intense.

Everyone stood up, shook hands, and bade farewell.

When they reached the doorway.

Ms. Sika Ya turned back and added: "You have plenty of time to consider slowly; Stamford Bridge will have everything ready."

Li Kang nodded.

Lewokusen respects his personal wishes; his destination for next season is up to him.

Stay? Can't stay.

A certain star once said: even with a pay cut, even giving up honors, still cannot stay.

Force to stay?

For Lewokusen and Li Kang, it's a lose-lose situation.

The one-person, one-city story hasn't completely faded away, but only exists in powerful clubs with deep roots.

Rome and Totti?

The former glory of Rome cannot be matched by today's Lewokusen.

The transfer market has an invisible hand.

The little assistant hadn't opened their umbrella for half a day.

Bei lai yin is snowing.

The snowflakes resemble willow catkins, falling thicker and thicker in the cold wind.

"Li, we still need to go to Fei Er Ting Si to film this year's last commercial."

Fei Er Ting Si Museum.

Night fell.

Under the moonlight, the tranquil ancient town resembled a splendid fairy-tale painting.

The business vehicle bearing Lewokusen's emblem slowly drove into the parking lot.

Ms. Shan De La led the staff in waiting for a long time.

With successive victories in European competitions, Li Kang became a red-hot superstar.

But European advertisers still haven't figured out: why did Fei Er Ting Si spend a fortune a few months ago to make the little-known Li Kang an endorser, and not target the Asian market?

Photography studio.

The bearded director looked uninterested.

"Li, it's a pity, your partner is still football!"

"Next season, I doubt there's any age-appropriate female star who could match you... I mean the ad content!"

"Let's hurry up!"

The greater the endorser's fame.

The more the endorsed product matches ordinary people's consumption level.

The ad content will also become simpler and more straightforward.

After just over an hour, the shooting work ended.

The bearded director looked regretful, calling on the staff to pack up equipment and retreat.

"Li, keep in touch! I really appreciate your expression management; I'll wait for your retirement!"

Expression management?

Ms. Shan De La and the little assistant stared at each other.

Li Kang finished washing up, changed into casual clothes, walked out of the photography studio, and saw Ke La Di Ya.

The girl patted the armrest heavily twice and said: "New, it won't break."

The wheelchair rolled slowly over the blue stone bricks, crushing the fine fallen snow.

Aphasia seemed contagious.

Ke La Di Ya no longer spoke.

Stars dotted the pale purple sky.

The ancient town's streets were very narrow and very long.

After a long while.

Li Kang felt the shadow in his brain sometimes spreading, sometimes contracting.

It seemed to gradually find a little bit of the moment when the shadow spread to the extreme in the Camp Nou match.

He carefully pushed the wheelchair.

Afraid he would break it again.

Claudia suddenly asked: 'Next summer, if you transfer to a big-city club, will you still come back to Bei lai yin?'

Feertins's advertising contract will end in the summer.

Li Kang thought for a moment, then shook his head.

He had no concept of what a big city is.

Whether going to North London or Manchester, there probably wouldn't be any chance to come back...

The snow fell thicker and thicker, dancing in the cold wind.

Tactical mentor Belenta once said: 'During the growth process, you will meet many people, a series of unavoidable intersecting lines; though you clearly meet, you eventually drift further apart.'

Not right.

He quickly grabbed the wheelchair armrest that was trying to move away from him.

He took out his phone and typed a line of text.

The screen blocked the girl's view.

I will come back to Bei lai yin to see you.

Claudia was stunned, and two flushes of color appeared on her pale face.

She extended her finger and lightly brushed across the screen.

A long string of notifications in the phone's notification bar had not been cleared.

"Are there a lot of people you want to see?"

One hour later.

Li Kang returned to the reception room of the Feertins Museum.

No soap-opera drama occurred.

He is a decent person and basically does not reply to messages sent by girls on his social accounts.

Even if he lost his phone one day, it wouldn't cause a huge online uproar.

The most important task at this stage is to play well; how could he spend every day chatting with girls?

He needs to be self-disciplined.

Claudia is an exception, because she can 'recharge'.

He quickly opened the system panel.

He forgot to open the Platinum Treasure Box.

Originally, he wasn't very interested in item rewards.

For example, the Green Tangerine Fizzy Candy that boosts focus always makes people drowsy after each match.

【Platinum Treasure Box opening...】

【Congratulations, you obtained: Advanced Luck Charm *1!】

【Luck is part of strength.】

【Advanced Luck Charm: a beneficial consumable item, one-time use, duration: 2 hours, specific effect unknown.】

Two days later.

The Champions League round of 16 knockout stage has completely ended.

The quarterfinal results have been decided:

Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Lewokusen, Bayern, Juventus.

One exciting clip after another dominated the headlines of major sports media.

- 【Yinbu awesome! Di Maria awesome! How was Paris Saint-Germain eliminated?】

- 【Hazard truly deserves to be the world's third-best player!】

- 【Among the young generation's genius midfielders, Pogba and Li Kang, who is stronger? Not comparing emotional intelligence!】

- 【Li Mingdeng held the top spot on the scorer list for less than twenty-four hours before being overtaken again!】

- 【This year's Champions League quarterfinals, no matter the draw, any matchup is a clash of titans!】

Lewokusen has no time to consider its Champions League quarterfinal opponent.

The coaching staff is intensively conducting tactical preparations and discussions.

Two days later, they will hold their home ground and face the strongest opponent in the Bundesliga: Bayern Munich!

"What's the use of watching Mönchengladbach and Bayern's match footage? Their tactics... we simply can't imitate them!"

"Benedict's adductor muscle strained again? Damn it! How the hell am I so unlucky!"

"You say let Calhanoglu start? That kid will be torn to shreds by Vidal!"

"Havertz also won't do! He can counter Wirtz, but he can't counter any of Bayern's midfielders!"

Tuopu Laotou was hysterically shouting in the meeting room.

The coaching staff members had numb expressions, having long grown accustomed to the head coach's frenzy.

Dino pressed his temples, comforting: 'Chief, calm down... Even if we can't win, Mönchengladbach could still take a shot at Bayern later!'

Upon hearing this.

Everyone wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason at the moment.

Bayern Munich Training Base.

"You're too fast!"

It's you who hesitated!

Again!

No way! I need to rest a while!

Alaba waved at Robben, walked to the sidelines, and picked up a bottle of mineral water.

The two exchanged tactical ideas very frequently.

Bayern's talented full-back learned a lot from following the 'Robbery' combination.

Your right-footed cutting technique is problematic; if Lewokusen's genius latches onto this weakness, our back line will be in danger!

And you have a bad habit in your distribution... When you fix these two shortcomings, you'll be top‑notch!

Robben kept chattering on.

Alaba nodded perfunctorily.

It's not that he doesn't want to change; at 18 he was already rated by major media as an intercontinental‑level genius full‑back.

Now 23, his basic technical movements have long been set.

Alonso and Vidal were doing strength training.

I feel that kid is tougher to handle than Xavi!

Impossible!

Do you think Xavi or Pirlo is more troublesome?

Um... don't ask such a philosophical question, okay?

The two are very, very familiar with Xavi and Pirlo.

They have been teammates and opponents.

The Bundesliga match day has arrived.

Guardiola appeared at the pre‑match press conference still doodling on a scrap of paper.

Facing the reporters' enthusiastic questions.

He slightly raised his head and said with a smile:

Li Kang, Xavi, and I are different types of players!

He didn't receive enough recognition at Barcelona; I suggest the media stop constantly linking him with La Masia, for he is walking his own path—La Masia rarely produces players who can jump that high.

System player? He brings his own system!

I admire him, and I also admire Barcelona's goalkeeper, Bravo!

On the other side.

Tuopu Laotou was left out in the cold.

After all, he's the 'Sanya King', while Guardiola is the 'Six‑Crown King'!

This match will be extremely tough!

We will defend our home ground! Bayern Munich cannot escape unscathed!

Bayern Arena

A sea of people, every seat taken.

CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!

Welcome to watching the 2015/16 Bundesliga thirteenth round!

Lewokusen holds the home ground, taking on Bayern Munich!

The clash of the league leaders!

The Bundesliga pinnacle showdown!

I am the commentator for this match, Duan Xuan!

I am He Wei!

Player tunnel.

Alaba proactively greeted Li Kang.

He is not German, so he hasn't been affected by all sorts of ideological nonsense; his thinking is less mature, and when he sees a teenage youngster, it's like meeting a peer.

He was about to say something when he saw Lai Wan's warning glance.

Right.

Lai Wan, that guy, is an anti‑dragon head member.

Li Kang didn't pay much attention to it.

He chuckled, lowered his head, and sized up Bayern's talented full‑back.

Alaba at this age is exactly like a child actor from some family sitcom—can't just say he's similar; he's practically identical!

The referee crew led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

The four stands of Bayern Arena erupted in a deafening roar!

A hot air balloon bearing the Bundesliga logo slowly rose!

Next, we'll introduce the starting lineups for both sides!

Bayern Munich lines up in a 4‑1‑4‑1 formation!

Goalkeeper: Neuer!

Left back: Lahm!

Center backs: Boateng, Benatia!

Right back: Alaba!

Defensive midfielder: Alonso!

Central midfielders: Robben, Vidal, Muller, Costa!

「Forward: Lai Wan Duo Fu Si Ji! 」

「Lewokusen lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation! 」

「Goalkeeper:... 」

With the referee's whistle!

The match officially began!

Bayern possession!

Lai Wan Duo Fu Si Ji kicked off and passed back to Alongsuo.

Players from both sides quickly started moving!

The ball went through several passes.

It arrived at Luoben's feet!

Bellalabi quickly closed down, not even uttering a word of trash talk!

He was easily shaken off by Luoben's sudden stop and sharp turn!

「Luoben's recent form is not bad! 」

「His left leg injury has just healed! 」

The upcoming match.

It was practically a one-man wing show by Luoben.

The thirty-meter area.

Kelamo attempted to intercept!

Luoben didn't change his advancing line beforehand, he just charged straight up!

Pa!

Just at the moment Lewokusen's midfielder stuck out his foot!

Luoben lightly flicked the ball!

Still using an extremely simple change-of-direction move, he completed a clean take!

「What an unreasonable way to dribble past! 」

「In the blink of an eye, the ball killed into Lewokusen's dangerous zone! 」

The live broadcast room.

Danmu flying everywhere.

-【Luoben kickoff charges into the penalty area! Classic moment!】

-【One person tore through Lewokusen! What else do teammates need to do!】

-【What about his hair? Still playing in the German top division! An old horse still aspires to travel a thousand li!】

-【Don't joke, Luoben is only 31 this year! An aging Messi!】

-【Luoben's step frequency isn't number one in the world, but his long-distance sprinting dribbling ability is awesome! Have you seen this strange running style? Isn't it like Fei Xiang dancing!】
