Chapter 137

After returning to Lewokusen.

Li Kang resumed a calm and monotonous life.

He guaranteed ten hours of sleep each day, using the remaining time for training and study.

Occasionally he would play single-player games.

Occasionally he would drive his old beat-up car out for a spin.

As for the attribute panel?

Ignoring the module's percentage bonus,

For the Destroying-type Midfielder template, several main attributes, aside from stamina and physical confrontation, were all stuck at 89.

Similar attributes such as shooting and curvature, etc., remained at 85.

The first team's fitness coach was very satisfied with Li Kang's recent performance.

No longer needing to run to the training ground at 4 a. m. to round people up.

No longer needing to constantly mention terms like "testosterone," "physical load," "bone closure preventing growth," and "cutting eggs."

"Football is a team sport, not the 'Turtle School Qigong' wave clash from cartoons."

"If we only compare physical reports and ability numbers: Pogba would be a perfect hexagon warrior; the European Red Devils-Belgium would sweep everything and lift all trophies."

"Even the most perfect Gullit couldn't win the World Cup."

"After Cristiano Ronaldo turned 24, he began ultra-high-intensity strength training."

The club occasionally had someone give Li Kang brainwashing.

They feared that Lewokusen's number 10 would follow in the footsteps of 'cutting eggs and losing hair.'

The club's journey in the German Cup went smoothly.

Calhanoglu was a master at beating weak teams, slicing through opponents all the way, leading Lewokusen to defeat many strong sides from the regional leagues and Regionalliga.

He was deeply loved by Happy Bean players.

Thursday.

The German Cup Round of 16 arrived.

Li Kang followed the club, taking a bus to arrive at Bochum in the Ruhr area.

This city has a heavy industrial history.

The Ruhr River and the Emscher River meander.

Residents live and work in peace on the undulating plain; the height differences of buildings create a beautiful scenery.

The bitter-tasting Pils beer is the most popular drink here.

Lewokusen's opponent this time is: the Bundesliga 2 strong team Bochum.

The grudge between the two clubs is not very complicated.

When the Lewokusen bus slowly entered the Ruhr stadium.

The Bochum fans lining the streets burst into the most enthusiastic applause!

"SuperToby！

!

"SuperToby！

!

"SuperToby！

!

Super Toby?

The young players were puzzled about this.

Kramer explained: "In the 1990s of the last century, when the boss coached Bochum, the season's result was fifth in the Bundesliga, and he knocked out many old giants in the UEFA Cup."

"He is Bochum's hero!"

"SuperToby!"

Hearing his disciples discussing him.

Tuopu Laotou's face flushed with two streaks of red, and he involuntarily straightened his back.

"Low-key."

The match officially began.

A contest without any suspense.

In the 3rd minute of the match, Bellarabi launched an attack from the right, dripped past three, and pushed a shot to score!

0:1!

In the 24th minute, Calhanoglu lofted a pass into the box, and Son Heung-min volleyed a shot to score!

0:2!

In the 60th minute of the match, Börjes crossed from the byline, and Kislin leapt high and headed the ball into the net!

0:3!

The broadcast camera occasionally cut to the Lewokusen coach on the sideline.

He remained remarkably composed throughout, showing no exaggerated behavior.

Even though Çalhanoğlu was repeatedly fouled by opposing players.

Tuopu Laotou still bore the air of a 'scholarly coach'!

Dino beside him was dumbfounded.

Gradually, many Bochum fans recalled past glory.

Ruhr Stadium, the nickname of Tuopu Laotou rang out again!

"SuperToby!"

"!"

Finally.

The head referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

Lewokusen easily advanced to the German Cup quarterfinals!

Li Kang only came on as a substitute and played for ten minutes.

The system notification sounded softly.

【Ding, German Cup random treasure box mission completed.】

【Mission reward: Bochum Legend·Bronze Treasure Box.】

【The treasure box is opening...】

【Congratulations on obtaining: Jung Dae-se's 'Miner' module!】

【Can tears be a nation's hope? One cry to fame! Moving Korea!】

【What's wrong with me, a North Korean, marrying a Korean flight attendant?】

【Additional attribute: foot strength increased by 3%, other attributes decreased by 20%!】

No wonder it's a bronze treasure box.

Another furnace embryo...

Cobham training base.

Chelsea stars are conducting a rondo practice.

That is a special training method modified by Mourinho.

Down to positioning and activity zones, passing lanes, everything is tailored for the players.

Hiddink tightened his black windbreaker and hunched on the bench.

He also didn't understand why, with the players' strength being so strong, the team's performance was so poor halfway through the season.

Being Chelsea's head coach is no easy job.

Being Chelsea's interim head coach is easy.

Abramovich is really generous; besides a generous salary, he also gave himself two expensive watches.

As for the tactical framework?

Mourinho left behind many legacies.

I don't have time to make big changes; just giving the players more freedom will do!

What's that idiom in Dragon Kingdom again?

Exactly!

Follow the established rules!

Thinking of this.

Hiddink's old face couldn't help breaking into a smile.

He really likes Dragon Kingdom's culture; a few years ago he established ties with the Dragon Kingdom Football Association.

Maybe in a few years there will be a chance to coach the national team's youth squad.

After training ended.

Diego Costa drove a four-wheel toy car, carrying his teammates, rushing toward the locker room.

The wind whistled past his ears.

William suddenly said: "Have you guys thought of a way to limit Li?"

Oscar wiped the spit from his face, then said disdainfully: "Don't worry, this is the coaching staff's job... Li's teammates are weak, the match won't be tough."

Hazard secretly took out a hamburger and said: "Van Dijk is a bit tricky, just that kid who used to play for Southampton."

Fabregas fell into thought, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

He slowly said: "Why do the five of us have to squeeze into a toy car?"

Time flies.

The Bundesliga match day is approaching.

Li Kang and his Lewokusen teammates boarded a plane, heading for Hesse-Frankfurt City!

He certainly didn't know any Korean flight attendants.

Lewokusen's opponent this round is Frankfurt.

It's exactly the Bundesliga club that the Happy Beans players love most!

Their style in recent years: never show mercy, never back down! Whoever defends against them ends up as the loser!

Either they inflict a massacre, or they get massacred.

Frankfurt's record in the last century was quite glorious.

The club's museum displays many trophies.

UEFA Cup champions.

UEFA Champions League runners-up.

Five-time German Cup champions.

Countless honors...

But in recent years they've fallen into a slump.

But their fans firmly believe: Frankfurt will surely return to the European competition stage!

On the airplane.

Tuopu Laotou was dressed in a Western suit and leather shoes, exuding the bearing of a scholarly commander.

Brunt leaned close to Kramer and whispered, "Did the boss ever coach Frankfurt?"

Kramer nodded seriously: "Yes! He is Frankfurt's hero! Last century...."

Li Kang was flipping through the "Hesse State Travel Guide"; the module furnace appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if reminding him: add one more module, and fusion can be triggered.
