Chapter 129: He is the arch-nemesis of the Cthulhu system's commander!

Guardiola is world-class, and the Bayern Munich stars are world-class.

But when combined, they failed to build an invincible team that could sweep Europe.

Year after year, they fell short at the Champions League semifinals.

The coaching staff fell into confusion.

Even the players in their prime were lost.

They lacked compatibility.

No positive bond was triggered.

Apart from the stability of prolonged warfare, the overall strength declined especially severely.

Did Guardiola, like Van Gaal and Heynkes, leave a legacy for Bayern Munich?

Yes.

The 20-year-old Kimmich.

This youngster had been discarded by Stuttgart's second team two years prior and was forced to join the German Third Division club RB Leipzig.

Until half a year ago, he was still competing in the German Second Division.

But Guardiola brought him to Bayern Munich in this summer's transfer window.

Stuttgart said: "It's unbelievable that a player who has never played in the Bundesliga could be sold for so much money."

Guardiola's reply was straightforward: "His value will increase tenfold in a few years!"

As soon as Kimmich stepped onto the pitch, he kept turning his head to observe the situation.

This trait is extremely similar to that of historic midfield masters.

Guardiola waved his arms and kicked his feet on the sidelines.

Boateng occasionally passed instructions to Kimmich.

Time passed minute by minute.

Bayern once again flattened Leverkusen's defense.

The 73rd minute of the match.

The thirty-meter zone.

Leverkusen's midfield and forward players began an intense press!

Alonso elegantly flicked the ball, evading Błaszczykowski's tackle, and immediately passed it to the well-positioned Kimmich!

Bayern's prodigy was a bit nervous and hadn't yet settled the ball.

Havertz rushed in to challenge.

Smack!

He easily stole the ball!

"Leverkusen's counterattack is coming again!"

"Kimmich, this mistake shouldn't happen; your ball control is a bit lacking!"

Bayern's high defensive line quickly contracted, trying to cut off the opponent's counterattack points.

Havertz couldn't immediately find Li Kang or Calhanoglu.

In order not to miss the opportunity.

He had no choice but to launch a long pass himself!

By sheer chance!

The ball crossed the midfield circle!

Brandt launched at high speed!

Unfortunately, Boateng blocked him again, locking his position!

Noyr outside the penalty area kicked hard!

The ball flew back into Leverkusen's half!

"Boateng really contains this type of forward like Brandt."

"Experienced, not afraid of the impact of a youngster like you."

At the ball's landing point.

Lai Wan and Kramer leapt up simultaneously to contest the header.

Thud!

The ball bounced to the right flank.

This time Kimmich steadied the ball!

Before Böhrisch could press.

He had early observed his teammates' runs forward!

He surged with the ball, shaking off Leverkusen's full-back!

He made a slight adjustment.

He struck hard with his right foot!

The ball lifted off the ground!

Over Leverkusen's penalty area, it traced a low, flat arc!

"The quality of the long pass is not bad... transferring from the right side to..."

"Ah! This kick directly tore open Leverkusen's defensive line!"

"The landing spot is very subtle! It's exactly the area between the goalkeeper and the defensive line; Lai Nuo dare not come out!"

Left side of the penalty box!

Muller shook off Papadopoulos's marking and surged forward at high speed!

The football fell to the ground in an instant.

He lifted his right leg high!

Thud!

The football flew toward the top-right corner of Lewokusen's goal!

Lai Nuo leapt upward.

He failed to reach the ball!

The goalpost emitted a thud.

The ball bounced out over the baseline.

The Lewokusen fans' hearts seemed to give a tug.

The Bayern fans let out a series of regretful gasps.

"What a pity!"

"Again the post!"

"Kimmich's forward passing ability is outstanding!"

"What's wrong with this year's Bundesliga? Have the fortunes of Harvey and Pirlo scattered across Germany? The emerging genius youngsters are sprouting like spring bamboo shoots!"

At the sideline.

Tuopu Laotou let out a breath and quickly said, "Have Kramer keep an eye on that kid called Kimmich; he's very like Li from half a year ago! His footwork is trash, his physical confrontation average, but his game reading, vision, positioning, and final pass are practically perfect!"

"This kid can appear at the most suitable moment, in the most reasonable position, and do what's most beneficial for the team!"

"Another brainy player... right-back!"

Dino nodded and ran to the sideline to convey orders.

On the other side.

Guardiola couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

He seemed to have forgotten the score.

His eyes revealed undisguised admiration.

If Kimmich's growth speed were a bit faster...

The match resumed.

Lai Nuo's big kick goal kick quickly returned possession to Bayern's feet.

The scene returned to a "normal" rhythm.

Kramer was a bit dazed:

He strictly followed the coaching staff's instructions, tightly marking Kimmich.

This kid sure does consume a lot of possession.

But why does he keep passing safe balls? He never advances with the ball, and falls after just a couple touches?

He has zero ability to win dirty balls!

He has no ability to change direction or shake off defenders!

His turning ability is also slow!

Why am I tasked with marking this rookie?

From God's perspective.

Li Kang gradually felt pressure.

Kimmich's movement and passing lifted Bayern's attack to a higher level.

Whether it's spatial reception or passing routes in various situations.

It's practically tailor-made for Bayern's overall formation.

What was it called again?

Right!

Spatial conversion!

Lubricant!

His presence made Muller, Lai Wan, and Robben's forward surges even more fierce!

Guardiola's tactical system just lacks this kind of player with strong running ability, high awareness and football IQ—a genius!

Away stand.

Bayern fans chanted their cheering slogans!

"MiaSanMia!

!"

"MiaSanMia!

!"

"MiaSanMia!

!"

Alonso's organizational linking and Kimmich's running support tore Lewokusen's defense apart, making it wobble on the brink of collapse!

78th minute of the match.

Li Kang intercepted Muller's pass.

He quickly directed the team's counterattack advance!

Lewokusen's midfield and forward players launched a sprint like mad dogs!

Bayern Munich players quickly fell back!

Lewokusen leads by two goals; they're cautious enough, not pushing too high in defense!

The counterattack speed is really fast!

Ah! It's gone!

After receiving Li Kang's pass, Kramer was blocked head-on by Lahm!

Smack!

The ball rolled weakly toward the nearby Kimmich.

His body was already leaning toward Alonso.

He seemed to anticipate that the ball would come to his feet.

Body leaning?

In recent years, only Xavi, Pirlo, Modric, De Bruyne, Li Kang, Fabregas, Cazorla, David... and dozens of other midfield geniuses don't need to deliberately make this move.

Kimmich didn't handle it himself, instead catching Lewokusen off guard.

but passed the ball to Alonso.

In his view: Alonso has better passing space and vision, and he himself drew Lewokusen's pressing numbers.

This choice.

It's a textbook example.

Perfect, reasonable.

But.

Guardiola on the sidelines couldn't help but clutch his head, expression regretful!

Li Kang on the pitch now had enough time to turn and track back!

Thud!

The ball left Alonso's right foot!

Like a meteor piercing the night sky!

Unstoppable!

Shattering Lewokusen's last line of defense!

Robben exploded with terrifying acceleration.

He completely crushed Jonathan Tah!

Bayern Munich fans jumped to their feet, waving flags and shouting!

"Kimmich's observational skills are top-notch! A perfect and reasonable way of handling it!"

"Alonso's long pass is practically a cruise missile!"

"No wonder he's the man who can precisely hit a wooden barrel forty meters away in the documentary!"

"One-on-one!"

"Robben again devoured Lewokusen's defender!"

"

"Upon receiving it, it's a single..."

"One-on-one!"

Duan Xuan and He Wei's commentary came in rapid succession!

Since they started commenting on Li Kang's matches, their speaking speed has gotten faster and faster!

The commentary suddenly stopped!

In the broadcast picture, a dashing figure appeared!

Lewokusen number 10!

The fierce wind whipped his jersey!

The billboards on both sides gradually blurred!

Just like a crossroads in life!

He and Robben!

They met at the ball's landing point!

Guardiola clutched his head with both hands.

Tuopu Laotou clutched his head with both hands.

Dino clutched his head with both hands.

Li Kang forcibly spread the shadows in his mind to the maximum extent!

Even with the help of Mönchengladbach's little foal, he couldn't catch up to Bayern's bald-headed war god!

The instant the ball fell!

At a height of three meters above the ground!

The phantom of the orange number 14 appeared!

Keluyinfu!

Sky-Shattering Echo!

The next moment.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath!

Wherever the gaze fell.

Lewokusen's number 10 jersey danced in midair!

Astonishing jumping height!

Indescribable hang time!

Luoben noticed a shadow beneath his feet, couldn't help but look up, as if he had seen the most chilling scene from a horror movie.

His expression gradually twisted!

In midair.

Li Kang's posture stretched out!

Like a fish leaping out of the sea!

Bang!

The sound of the ball hitting his forehead.

It broke the hearts of Bairen fans...

It was clearly a great one-on-one chance...

The ball was blocked out of bounds.

Luoben reacted in time.

He embraced the falling Li Kang.

His right hand protected his head, his left hand wrapped around his waist.

""Brilliant clearance!""

""Jumping power and body flexibility are too strong!""

""I can no longer describe Li Kang's brilliant moments in words! When did he figure out Alonsuo's pass direction...""

""What a shame! Bairen Munichei lost a great one-on-one chance!""

""Luoben's action was very friendly! Worthy of praise, on the grass field it's not just about winning or losing!""

Live broadcast room.

Danmaku flooded the screen.

-【Old Luo and Li Mingdeng's pose... great!】

-【Quick look at the replay: when Jimixi passed the ball to Alonsuo, Li Kang, who was still in Lewokusen's half, began to turn back and defend! His speed is really fast!】

-【If he didn't jump, Luoben would have had a one-on-one!】

-【He jumped so high, but his header was so weak! What a waste!】

-【Not much time left, Bairen finally showed some promise, but Li Mingdeng cleared it again!】

After Li Kang landed safely.

Luoben patted his butt, sighing helplessly.

【Life is just like a one-on-one】

Jimixi's emotions were very complicated.

He himself played perfectly, so why does Li Kang seem to have predictive ability?

At the edge of the field.

Tuopu Laotou and Dino simultaneously lowered their hands.

They then turned their gaze toward Guadiaola.

The head-hugging motion, like a plague.

It spread wildly among the head coaches of the Bundesliga clubs.

Guadiaola plopped down on the grass.

He once again fell into confusion about football philosophy.

Like a small boat in the sea, welcoming the baptism of the storm.

""The peak Basa's 'sextuple champion' achievement is his starting point; could it also be his end?""

Time passed unnoticed.

Li Kang was too familiar with Guadiaola's philosophy.

""The core of the 'PositionalPlay' philosophy comes from 'All-out attack-defense', perfectly demonstrated by peak Basa's dream team three.""

He spared no effort running back and forth, one side assisting defense and clearing, the other side directing teammates.

Lewokusen thereby withstood wave after wave of fierce attacks from Bairen Munichei.

Bair Arena gradually quieted down.

The active number 10 in front of Lewokusen's back line.

Let the old fans in front of the TV, they couldn't help but recall Guadiaola from twenty years ago...

Composure in positional defense.

The calm composure of commanding thousands.

Finally.

The final whistle blew.

The score did not change.

Lewokusen won the top-of-the-table clash at home!

""Clash of tactical thinking between two generations of geniuses!""

""Young Li Kang contributed two goals and one assist, defeating the mighty Bundesliga giant!""

""Congratulations to Lewokusen for climbing to the Bundesliga throne!""

""This formidable team, under Li Kang's leadership, is likely to achieve historic honors this season!""

-【Li Mingdeng's curse, specially beating the 'Ke' system coaches!】

-【Cthulhu system? What the hell? All-out attack-defense system, right? From old Fan, Enrique, all the way to Guardiola, only Mourinho is left?】

-【Mourinho and all-out attack-defense aren't related, right?】

-【There's a relation, I'll send you a photo of them when they were young!】

-【I didn't expect Lewokusen to win this Bundesliga showdown so easily; I feel Guardiola's tactics are torture for Bayern's stars, mutually tormenting, sigh!】

-【The fit isn't high, anyway Old Fan and Hai Shuai's Bayern are stronger; also partly because of injuries, Thiago and scarface are injured and can't play.】

-【I don't know which European giant can stop Li Mingdeng!】

Green Tangerine Fizzy Candy's flavor disappears.

The shadow in the brain contracts wildly.

Li Kang's feeling right now is as if he hadn't slept for two days and two nights... and even drank a jin of 58-proof liquor!

The side effects of forcibly activating the cheat are too great...

He was unsteady on his feet, and the moment he closed his eyes, he slumped onto the chief referee's shoulder.

His teammates were about to celebrate wildly, but seeing this, they hurriedly carried him off the field.

Not far away.

Guardiola rushed onto the pitch, unable to wait, and began an impassioned "lecture" aimed at Kimmich!

Sometimes hugging, sometimes head-butting, sometimes roaring.

Kimmich was frightened and stood frozen, nodding nonstop.

The two of them and the scene on the green pitch are mismatched.

Post-match press conference.

Flashbulbs flickered wildly as reporters eagerly asked questions.

"Mr. Guardiola, how do you view this match? The Bundesliga title race this season is unprecedentedly fierce..."

Guardiola returned to normal, saying: "Both teams' players performed exceptionally well in this match. Bundesliga champion? It's too early to talk about that now!"

"I really wanted to exchange some ideas with Li, but he fell asleep."

He fell asleep?

The reporters promptly shifted their focus.

"Mr. Tuop, why does Li Kang fall asleep after every match? Is the training intensity at Lewokusen that high? According to FIFA's minor protection regulations..."

Tuopu Laotou waved his hand: "As long as conditions allow, we can make Li's medical report public; all his indicators are normal! As for sleeping after a match? Many players have similar quirks! Beckenbauer doesn't like to shower after a match! Messi likes to eat grass! Löw picks his nose and pulls out his underwear..."

Everyone was satisfied with this explanation, but still felt it was weird.
