Chapter 19: Bundesliga debut! A stunning performance!

Huo Fen Hai Mu lined up in a 4-3-3 formation!

Goalkeeper: Bao Man!

Center backs: Ju Le, Sha Er!

According to international football position definitions, there is no such thing as a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder.

It was merely a mistranslation by early 1980s translators, causing these two terms to persist in Dragon Kingdom TV commentary until 2015.

Including the formation introduction, one cannot simply read out the roster, because players' positions must be based on their actual positioning after kickoff before the introduction can begin.

Moreover, many international professional terms, due to translation issues, have become ambiguous in Dragon Kingdom.

Of course.

The fans don't mind this.

If one day standard terms are used, they will be very unaccustomed.

With the referee's whistle.

The match officially begins!

Huo Fen Hai Mu possession.

Zu Bei Er kicked the ball sideways to Ku Lan Yi.

The latter, facing Ji Si Lin's frantic pressure, quickly passed back to Shi Wei Ge Le.

"Lewokusen's pressing is too strong!"

"Every player in their midfield and forward lines participated in the high press!"

"Huo Fen Hai Mu had no choice but to pass the ball back to the defense to reorganize the attack!"

The match had no suspense.

The fifth minute of the match.

Sun Xing Min successfully intercepted Wolande in the opponent's half.

He quickly slipped the ball diagonally to the overlapping Bo Er Re Si on the flank.

Bo Er Re Si sped away.

With the ball, he easily shook off Ka De La Bei Ke's interception.

He reached the vicinity of the byline.

He crossed the ball from the ground!

The football traced a beautiful arc in the air.

Huo Fen Hai Mu penalty area.

Ji Si Lin leapt high, overpowering the two center backs!

A header!

He slammed the ball into the opponent's goal!

1-0!!!

"The ball went in!"

"This is Ji Si Lin's best way to score!"

"His heading ability is top-notch in the Bundesliga!"

Ji Si Lin patted his forehead, rushed to the corner flag area, and excitedly interacted with Lewokusen fans!

The following match.

It became very simple.

Lewokusen completely controlled the advantage on the field.

Relying on Qier Er Han Ao Lu's organization and linking.

They pressed Huo Fen Hai Mu into the penalty area and besieged it madly!

"Within less than 20 minutes of kickoff, Lewokusen had taken six shots, five on target!"

"It must be said that Qier Er Han Ao Lu is the team's offensive core! His command of ball rhythm is top-notch! Especially in distributing to both flanks!"

"This midfielder, whose rhythm control is extremely formidable, and Lewokusen's tactics, complement each other perfectly!"

Last season, his number of direct free-kick goals was unmatched across the five major leagues!

The scariest part is, he's only 21, with a bright future ahead! It's hard to imagine what heights he'll reach in the future!

-【I am the ball king, no bragging! I will surely surpass Ha Wei and Pi Er Luo in the future!】

-【Look at how he traps the ball, so artistic!】

-【His No. 10 jersey was actually snatched by that water dispenser—how ridiculous! Lewokusen's higher-ups should get lost already!】

-【Don't panic, the ball king will use his own ability to win back the No. 10 jersey! If the club can't see any commercial return from Li Kang, they'll kick him out!】

-【If it weren't for Bei La La Bi wildly wasting chances, the score would already be 4:0!】

Minute 38 of the match.

Huo Fen Hai Mu finally got a chance for a counterattack!

Ju Le didn't let Bei La La Bi finish an inside-cut shot!

He easily won the ball with his foot.

He then launched a long-pass counterattack!

The ball crossed the midfield!

The Huo Fen Han Mu fans' team song only sang the first line...

What a pity.

Zu Bei Er's attempt at a long run was completely stopped by the midfield barrier formed by Ben De Er and Ke La Mo.

The gap in ability lay plainly before them.

They didn't even have a chance to shoot.

Minute 45 of the match.

Qia Er Han Ao Lu lofted a pass into the box.

Ji Si Lin leapt high again.

He didn't choose to shoot himself.

Instead, he headed the ball to lay it off.

Sun Xing Min's run was like a ghost's.

He shook off the defender and made a forward run to the right side of the small box.

He pushed with the instep!

Thud!

Huo Fen Hai Mu's net was lifted again!

2-0!!!

The entire Bayer Stadium.

It was brimming with the joy of victory!

Minute 78 of the match.

Bei La La Bi, who wasted countless chances, was taken down by Ju Le in the Huo Fen Hai Mu half-field thirty-meter zone.

He spent the whole match spraying trash talk at the opposing defenders.

He successfully angered Ju Le.

He himself also suffered a fierce retaliation!

The head referee immediately blew the whistle and pulled out a foam spray!

Qia Er Han Ao Lu stood at the penalty spot.

One kick and it's done!

The ball went over the wall.

It curled wildly into the top left corner of the goal!

3-0!!!

The 62-year-old Huo Fen Hai Mu head coach, Shi Di Wen Si, angrily took off his suit and flung it hard to the ground.

Shi Mi Te glanced at the bench where Li Kang was.

"Go warm up!"

Minute 92 of the match.

The last moment of injury-time stoppage.

Li Kang stood at the edge of the center circle.

The fourth official held up the LED number board.

The long-unheard system prompt sounded softly.

-【Ding, mission triggered: German Bundesliga debut!】

-【Mission content: With your performance, conquer Bayer Stadium! Open the curtain of legend!】

-【Ding! Detected that the host's remaining playing time is less than one minute; mission content changed: Please fully experience the atmosphere of Bayer Stadium!】

-【Mission reward: Mysterious Treasure Box!】

Qia Er Han Ao Lu glanced at the LED number board.

He walked straight toward the touchline.

Lewokusen fans immediately gave him the most enthusiastic applause!

Nobody would care: why didn't he walk to the center circle to high-five and hug Li Kang?

"We saw Lewokusen use their last substitution slot."

"No. 10 Li Kang, substitute for Qia Er Han Ao Lu!"

"This should be a positional substitution!"

"We look forward to this overseas compatriot's debut in the Bundesliga!"

"..."

"Ah... at this moment, the referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match!"

"Let's congratulate Lewokusen! They've secured a winning start to this season's Bundesliga!"

"Dragon Kingdom livestream."

"The bullet comments were all joyful."

"-【"This is hilarious! Li Kang came on, didn't run a few steps, and the match ended!"】"

"-【"Isn't this pretty good? Haha, Lewokusen's management has achieved its commercial goal! It's just too tough on the editing guy—no matter how you cut it all day, it's just Li Kang's juggling clips from the training ground!"】"

"-【"You can't tell the level from juggling—my neighborhood's security guard's juggling skills could absolutely crush the national team!"】"

"-【"Hakan Calhanoglu is furious! He's so awesome, yet his number 10 jersey was snatched by a mascot!"】"
