Chapter 183: Bundesliga Champions!

Nuoyin'er angrily stomped their foot.

Under the platinum-colored gloves, the five fingers went numb.

He guessed the direction, touched the ball, but could not change the outcome.

De Bruyne left, and another Li Kang emerged.

Li Kang staggered two steps and fell onto the turf.

Cheers from teammates rang in his ears.

Son Heung-min and Bellerabi rushed over immediately.

Teammates piled up, forming a tall human pyramid in Bayern's half.

"Li, you're amazing."

"Am I fucking dreaming?"

"You bastard, why are you pinching my ass?"

"Wait for me, I haven't gotten up yet!"

Lai Nuo came sprinting from his own penalty area and came down heavily.

From the crowd, several anguished cries could not be held back.

In the away stand, thousands of Leverkusen fans who had followed the team had red eye sockets.

They had never been so close to the Bundesliga championship trophy!

The club, founded 113 years ago, had its best league result as Bundesliga runner-up!

At the sideline.

Dino slipped into the player tunnel.

Tuopu Laotou shouted urgently: "What the hell are you going to do?"

"Boss, I'll go get someone to prepare wheat beer!"

On the other side.

Guardiola's gaze was vacant, mechanically holding a pen, scribbling on the draft paper.

Wrong!

I was wrong!

The core of ball distribution should be shifted to the goalkeeper!

Bravo, Barcelona's Chilean goalkeeper Bravo, he must be the ultimate answer I'm seeking!

Assistant coach Torrent had a bitter expression.

He had worked with Guardiola since their Barcelona days, and rarely saw his boss like this.

Defeated.

Along with this match's loss, it foretold that the three-year reform achievements of the coaching staff at Bayern Munich would also come to naught.

CTV5 livestream.

-【Li Mingdeng is awesome, which club would be most suitable for him next season?】

-【If we ignore transfer fees and wages, purely from a tactical system perspective, it's definitely Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool that are most suitable!】

-【If it's Juventus: the two Xuanming elders plus Buffon, Li Kang doesn't need to worry about defense at all, doesn't need to constantly run back to defend, can fully unleash his organizing and attacking power, inherit Pirlo's position from back then, overall strength at least enough to reach the Champions League final, Allegri these two years also advocates attacking football, not a complete turtle shell, and... the several daughters of the Ranieri family are quite pretty, maybe even give Little Li a wife.】

-【Paris Saint-Germain won't do! The head coach is too domineering, only wants to promote Rabiot and Verratti, even with money can't win the Champions League.】

-【Liverpool next season has no Champions League qualification, no Europa League qualification, no need to think.】

-【Ignoring transfer fees and wages, Arsenal's passing-and-movement system is most suitable, with Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey, Coquelin forming... never mind, the money issue can't be ignored.】

-【Manchester United is close to Pogba, news everywhere, won't consider Little Li.】

-【Only after the Euro is over will transfer news come to light.】

-【I hope Little Li can go to a club with strong overall strength next season, so he doesn't have to struggle so hard...】

Allianz Arena.

At the stands, Leverkusen's cheering slogans gradually gained the upper hand.

Bayern fans' mood was heavy.

Our own superstars pressed the opponent into the big penalty area and launched a siege.

They struggled to break the deadlock.

That Leverkusen number 10 seemed to understand every link of the Guardiola-style Bayern attacking system, always appearing at the crucial moment and position to break the siege.

Match time passed in anxiety.

The LED scoreboard hanging high in midair remained glaringly 0:3!

"Li Kang's win rate against Klopp-style coaches is as high as eighty percent!"

"No matter if it's Van Gaal, Enrique, Tuchel, or Guardiola, none can tactically overcome him!"

"Klopp-style coach? What the hell?"

He Wei couldn't help but poke Duanxuan.

Duanxuan blinked, then quickly added: "Klopp's improved all-out attack-defense... is a series of systems derived in modern football development."

75th minute of the match.

Alonso could no longer endure the Yue Buqun-style harassment, leaving the pitch with the team doctor's support.

He kept cursing while heading toward Leverkusen's half.

The venue was filled with boos.

Son Heung-min's eyes were red, an innocent look, wronged and tearing up.

Still a Yue Buqun‑style bad habit, ah, just like Suárez's psychology of biting; since childhood, in the German football environment, they have suffered discrimination and bullying, on the field, many times when facing a positional disadvantage, they will activate a 'self‑protection mode'...

If VAR existed at this time, he would definitely have the title of 'Bundesliga dirty striker'.

The main referee showed no hesitation and gave a yellow card to the Asian forward.

82nd minute of the match.

Robben got a cramp.

Li Kang was helping him stretch his leg.

'The Little Flying Hero' is old, plagued by injuries, and his body can't take many turns and sprints.

He gazed at Lewokusen's number 10.

He vaguely recalled the days at Stamford Bridge.

Back then, he was in the prime of his youth, full of vigor, and even had luxuriant hair like Li Kang's...

86th minute of the match.

Bayern Munich failed to break through despite prolonged pressure.

They wanted to overturn and win the championship, needing to score four consecutive goals in the remaining time!

Lewokusen's defensive line, under high-intensity pressure, gradually fell apart.

Jonathan T., while tightly marking Mueller, failed to keep his footing...

He was exhausted.

His defensive movements also became distorted.

Beep!

The referee pointed to the penalty spot and showed a red card to the black center-back!

"Penalty kick!"

"In the dying stages of the match, Bayern Munich earned a penalty kick; can they still create a comeback miracle?"

"After Alonso left, the penalty taker will be... oh, we see Lai Wan standing at the penalty spot; he is Europe's first penalty taker after Balotelli, and he hasn't missed a penalty in the past two seasons!"

"In his career, he has taken 36 penalties, scoring 33! His accuracy is up to 92%!"

Beep!

After the whistle blew,

Lai Wan ran up and struck a curling shot!

The ball left the ground, tracing a spoon‑like arc, extremely beautiful, lightly lofting toward the center of the goal!

"Spoon penalty!"

"Beautiful... the goalkeeper didn't move, firmly holding the ball!"

Allianz Arena, deathly silent...

Lai Wan's face turned ashen.

Lai Nuo patted the football; he too felt a bit dazed: the Bayern forward's foot movements were too complex to read, making it hard to judge the penalty's direction, leaving him rooted to the spot...

Lewokusen teammates all rushed to their goalkeeper and gave thumbs up!

The crowd was roused.

The stamina that had been rapidly depleted seemed to be fully replenished in the instant he saved the penalty!

Tuopu Laotou pulled his hands away from his eyes and began celebrating wildly.

Lewokusen is only a few minutes away from lifting the Bundesliga trophy!

93rd minute of the match.

The final moment of injury time.

Inside Lewokusen's penalty area.

Mueller made a magical run, after receiving Kimmich's lofted pass, he slightly shifted his leg and pushed the shot!

Li Kang slid in and forced the ball out for a goal kick!

Beep! Beep-beep~

The referee then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match!

In that instant,

Fireworks and salute cannons from the away stand erupted together!

Red marine illumination flares spewed bursts of thick smoke.

All cameras were trained on the prone Lewokusen number 10 on the ground!

Clap!

Clap-clap-clap!

Allianz Arena rang not only with Lewokusen fans' cheers but also with applause from the opponents!

The young King of Bei lai yin single‑handedly produced three goals, using a dominant performance to overturn the Bundesliga giants and conquer Germany!

Tuopu Laotou and Dino, heedless of danger, rushed onto the pitch.

Following closely were Lewokusen's substitutes, team doctor, and coaching staff...

No one turned back to look at the glittering silver trophy.

Their souls seemed to have reached a state of resonance at this moment.

Hearts and minds were agitated.

"The history of Bundesliga football has opened a new chapter!"

"A thrilling yet safe big victory!"

"A historic moment."

"Lewokusen has won its first Bundesliga trophy in club history!"

Several times they brushed past each other.

A hundred years of bitter waiting.

The new Bundesliga champion!

The German double champion!

What a phrase that makes the blood boil!

Duan Xuan and He Wei were so excited they were almost incoherent.

The Allianz Arena on the screen was being shrouded in a sea of black and red.

Thousands of Lewokusen fans crossed the fence, leapt over the billboards, and without hesitation rushed toward Li Kang's direction!

Along the way, slogans, posters, and team flags fell...

Moments later.

Lee!!!

Lee!!!

Leverkusenallez!!!

Amid the cheers.

Li Kang's figure kept rising and falling above the crowd.

King of Beiming!

One man bearing the team's offense and defense, the lone forward-moving King of Beiming!

Van Dijk and Jonathan Tah cautiously raised their hands, afraid someone wouldn't catch it steady.

Tuopu Laotou and Dino were extremely anxious.

Don't hurt our treasure by dropping it!

The air was filled with the sour bitterness of beer.

Dark beer!

It's not Bai Long wheat beer.

It's Feltrings' dark beer.

Lai Nuo clung to a three-liter beer mug, chasing after Tuopu Laotou and Dino!

Brandt took the Bundesliga championship trophy from the Bundesliga official and immediately rushed to Li Kang's front.

Facing the onslaught of a beer shower.

He then used the salad plate to shield Li Kang.

His hand loosened.

Clang!

The trophy fell heavily onto the turf.

Everyone was terrified.

Havertz quickly picked it up, blew twice, and shoved the salad plate into Li Kang's arms.

The surrounding crowd instantly fell silent.

All eyes were on Lewokusen's number 10, full of anticipation.

The honor of the championship will be raised by the hero...

Li Kang stared blankly.

He then raised his hands high.

The salad plate symbolizing the Bundesliga championship shone brilliantly under the spotlight!

Leverkusenallez!!!

The Allianz Arena plunged into madness once again.

Congratulations, Lewokusen! Congratulations, Li Kang!

Oh dear...

Let's now go to an ad break; the world's top sports protective brand reminds you...

In the livestream.

Duan Xuan and He Wei's hearts could not calm for a long time.

The director didn't have time to add a mosaic to Li Kang; inserting an emergency ad was the wisest move.

As for the data?

The CTV5 assistant doesn't know what they're doing; they haven't sent it yet!

Time can fade everything.

Only the champion can remain in people's memories.

The chaos subsided.

The Bundesliga championship podium was quickly set up.

Li Kang took a shower, changed into a brand-new jersey, and returned to the pitch.

There's nothing to be done.

His original clothes had already been torn off by the frenzied fans; fortunately, Wo Le Er worried he'd catch a chill and required him to wear sliding shorts every match!

Otherwise, the whole world would have to witness Xiao Li Zi's 'Bundesliga debut'...

The last player stripped naked seemed to be Totti from Roma, right?

Fans in the CTV5 livestream vaguely recalled: the Roman prince covering his privates as he slipped into the tunnel, a sorry sight...

The broadcast over the Allianz Arena began playing the stirring Bundesliga theme.

Li Kang and his Lewokusen teammates mounted the podium.

The Bundesliga salad plate was held high.

Magnesium lights flashed wildly.

Countless precious photos were left behind.

"Li Kang's Bundesliga journey has come to an end!"

After a long while.

The celebrations gradually subsided.

Nobody remained constantly intoxicated in the joy of winning the championship.

Farewell.

Lewokusen teammates inexplicably recalled this term.

Brandt and Havertz are still young; they can't keep things to themselves, so they wouldn't consider the atmosphere or occasion.

"Li... next season..."

The words had just left his mouth.

Lai Nuo's big hand promptly covered the mouths of the two young players.

"Don't ask, just work hard—you're still young; work hard to keep up with Li's pace! Perhaps there will be a day of reunion!"

The other teammates... Lai Nuo dared not guarantee.

Brandt and Havertz's talent is explosively good.

Especially Havertz.

According to normal development, as long as he avoids major injury, in a few years he will surely have the chance to fight alongside Li Kang.

Bellarabi asked softly: "Hakan, are you sure you don't want to stay at Lewokusen?"

Calhanoglu shook his head: "Let's talk after the European Cup!"

Li Kang has left, but Lewokusen's core will still be me—after all, a Bundesliga club like Lewokusen hardly finds a better excellent midfielder.

Kramer and Bendel gave Son Heung-min a look; the three quickly put arms around each other's shoulders and began whispering something, occasionally letting out a wicked laugh.

The gentleness under the night sky of Munich's suburbs has long been on the lips of minstrels.

Post-match press conference.

The drenched Tuopu Laotou became the protagonist.

Media reporters seemed not to care about Lewokusen head coach's championship feelings, gave no chance for the old man to show off, and all asked about Li Kang's future next season.

Tuopu Laotou's expression was awkward; he said softly:

"We have experienced an incredibly wonderful season."

"Li Kang is a gift from God to Bei lai yin."

"Lewokusen earned a lot from broadcast revenue sharing, plus handsome bonuses as Champions League semifinalists and Bundesliga double champions."

"After the summer transfer window opens, we will make strong signings."

"Yes, next season Lewokusen will still be competitive."

He also didn't know where Li Kang would go.

Wo Le Er that guy keeps his mouth shut.

Lewokusen can't hold onto the rising European star...

On the other side.

Guardiola faced the long and short guns, tone calm:

"I want to coach in the Premier League; if I were already 60 or 65, I would stay at Bayern, but I realize I'm still young enough—I need a new challenge."

"What's the possibility of Li joining Manchester City?"

"Sorry, I still don't know about this!"

Until now.

This tactical enthusiast only now realized he might very well have the chance to fight alongside Li Kang!

In his mind he unconsciously sketched a plane diagram.

Li, how exactly should he be used?
