Chapter 223: What's Wrong with the Premier League BIG6? (Transitional Chapter)

"Christensen's whistle blew!"

"The 2016 European Cup final has ended!"

"The champion is Spain!"

"!"

"The first ever three-peat in European Cup history!"

"18-year-old prodigy Li Kang contributed two goals and two assists in this match! The youngest midfield commander in Invincible Armada history, he played the most splendid movement in the midsummer of France!"

"In his first European Cup appearance, his goal tally for a single tournament reached 10! Breaking Platini's record set in 1984!"

"Who could have predicted? Both historical top scorers of the European Cup, before and after, are midfielders!"

"The De Lauro Cup has been engraved with Spain's name for the fourth time!"

"Invincible Armada, Platinum Generation!"

"At this moment, the fireworks of France were lit for him, tens of thousands roared his name in unison—Li Kang!"

"He was born to be a mountain..."

Duan Xuan quickly nudged He Wei with his elbow.

Reminding his partner to watch the time, and making the mouth shape for "Portugal".

The Portuguese bench was deserted.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood dazed on the sideline, his eyes filled with unwillingness and loss.

He lost.

He lost again on the stage of the European Cup final.

His fist clenched and then relaxed.

"More than five hundred years ago, Vasco da Gama opened the curtain of the Age of Discovery, rewriting Portugal's history."

"Five hundred years later today, the descendants of navigators, in another field, have given birth to a superstar!"

"The 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo first tasted bitterness."

"The 30-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo once again returned with regret."

"He is Portugal's pride, the eternal son of the Lisbon people."

"Tragic hero!"

"Bless Cristiano Ronaldo, bless Portugal!"

"His journey is far from over; two years from now, at the World Cup, he will surely make a comeback!"

The world's eyes have never left the green fields of France.

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

But the height of his landing was far from matching the moment of Bundesliga championship.

"Lee!

"!

"Lee!

"!

"Lee!

"!

The stands on all four sides erupted like a collapsing mountain and tsunami in cheers.

Spanish surrounded him like firecrackers.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

European Cup three-peat!

An unprecedented great feat!

Bosque urged his disciples to quickly put Li Kang down.

"Li, come join Atlético Madrid!"

"Manchester City!"

"Arsenal!"

"Real Madrid!"

"Chelsea!"

The crowd's eyes burned with fervor, shouting the syllables of their clubs.

Only De Gea weakly said: "Manchester United..."

Yinniesta held a Barcelona jersey, hesitated for a moment, then had staff return it to the bench.

His smile carried a hint of embarrassment.

Put on the jersey?

The former prince of La Masia, now a hero of the Iberian Peninsula, ultimately could no longer return to Nou Camp.

That feeling was like: a noble lady named Nou Camp, engaged since childhood to a poor boy, proposed to break off the engagement... only a year later, he became the most favored heavenly prodigy of the noble families.

Morata's tone was firm: "Wherever Li goes, I want to go too!"

Yin Si Ke very much wanted to interject, but after glancing at Carvajal and Ramos's expressions, he immediately swallowed it back.

But speaking honestly, which club would buy three people together?

At the same time.

Madrid City Hall Plaza.

Beneath the giant LED screen.

Thousands upon thousands of people gathered together.

Cheering for the team's championship victory.

Cheering for Yin Biliya's heroism.

The hero's name echoed again and again!

Catalonia Square.

A voice rose from the crowd.

"How could the heir of our La Masia be sold for just one million euros?"

The fans' revelry gradually turned into anger toward Barcelona...

Spain, tonight is destined to be sleepless.

After the staff's frantic preparations, the awarding platform was completed.

The celebration did not last long.

The spectators shouted until their voices went hoarse.

The noise gradually subsided.

Fireworks and salute cannons suddenly deafened the ears, colorful paper scraps floated in the air.

Stade de France, like a beautiful palace from a fairy tale.

No one had the mood to exchange pleasantries with UEFA officials; after receiving the medals, Li Kang was pushed to the front by his teammates.

Everyone urged him to raise the trophy.

One.

Two.

Three.

When Li Kang raised the Henri Delaunay Cup in that instant.

Countless flashbulbs flashed wildly.

"2016 French European Cup Champions! Spain!"

"2016 French European Cup Top Scorer, Assist King! Li Kang!

"

"His summer!"

"The beginning of a legend!"

After the Spanish players thanked the fans.

The wives' group entered the field, passionately kissing their husbands.

Li Kang?

He has his grandfather's group.

Wo Le Er gently patted the back of his head: "Anywhere uncomfortable..."

Tuopu Laotou interrupted: "This kid didn't even sweat much in the second half!"

Then he felt Bosque's gaze.

These two, former Champions League rivals from fourteen years ago, exchanged a smile.

It seemed past grudges had vanished like smoke.

Dino asked: "Li, have you decided which club to join next season?"

Li Kang shook his head.

"Now is not the time to talk about this... well, Chelsea and Juventus are both quite good."

"In terms of strength, these two clubs are the most suitable."

Professor Belenta adjusted his glasses: "Before the transfer, you must finish your summer homework!"

That night.

The news of the European Cup victory shocked the world.

"Spain Wins 2016 European Cup Championship."

"European Cup Top Scorer! Assist King! Locked in as a Ballon d'Or Candidate Top Three?"

"The Shining European Golden Boy of France!"

"The Bullfighter Dynasty's Revival, the Genius Midfielder Who Orchestrates from the Bench!"

"Reviewing the European Cup: How Li Kang Activated Spain's Smooth Operation in Different Tactical Systems."

Comment counts, likes, and shares surged wildly.

-【Li Mingdeng is awesome! First national team tournament trophy in his career!】

-【Not really, he also won a championship in the European U19 last summer!】

-【Ballon d'Or? Don't even mention it, Li Mingdeng's dominance in this European Cup was too abnormal!】

-【A strongman who crawled out of the death half.】

-【Eleven goals in a single European Cup final tournament, and he scored several against Italy, Germany, and France too! How will future players catch up!】

-【Even during Xavi's era, Spain didn't have such attacking firepower!】

-【Li Mingdeng and Xavi have different styles; it's hard to conclude who's stronger or weaker across different systems: at the time, the Spanish coaching staff lacked the courage to insist on a Barcelona-based system, now Bosque can play any card at will.】

-【If little Li Zi didn't have this group of midfield masters around him, he might not be able to steadily overcome Germany and France.】

-【After defeating Germany and France, this group only got better and better; even in the World Cup, they'd feel invincible.】

-【Two years later in the World Cup... hard to say, Yinniestata's state is clearly declining, Casola is made of glass, David Silva and Li Mingdeng's midfield linkage isn't high enough, Coke keeps getting fatter, Saoul might be remade into something, the only midfielder who can play is Busquets.】

-【The new generation of midfield geniuses, currently seen, almost none can reach these people's level.】

-【Don't just look at the midfield, the configuration of the forward and defensive lines is also top-tier for a powerhouse.】

-【Let's talk about things two years from now when two years have passed. I hope Li Kang can find a suitable midfield partner next season, preferably Modric and De Bruyne, Kroos, forming a diamond-shaped four-man midfield together. The forward line can be whatever! The defensive line and goalkeeper will just use Juventus' setup, perfect.】

The Spanish national team returned to Madrid overnight.

On the plane.

De Gea gently stroked the European Cup Golden Glove.

Feeling his teammates' gazes, he hurriedly shoved the award back into the box.

"With Li here, opponents basically have no chance to test me!"

"I think Li is very suitable to come to Old Trafford, and I and he will definitely be the best partners."

"Manchester United has the highest commercialization level, sponsors and the Ballon d'Or need..."

Suddenly someone interrupted.

"Manchester United will only have the Europa League next season..."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Diego Costa silently put on his headphones.

On the Premier League pitch next season, these national teammates with Champions League and Europa League qualifications... will all be trampled by me!

Cazorla and David Silva happened to be sitting on Li Kang's two sides.

The two were respectively introducing the local customs and traditions of London and Manchester.

Li Kang's attention was interrupted by the system notification sound.

【Ding! Congratulations on completing the national team main quest: Conquer Europa!】

【Quest completion receipt: Too simple, your appearance came too timely for the twilight of Spain, savior, sword-wielder, commander! What interesting titles, enjoy the joy of victory well! The future national team journey... may not be as easy as now.】

【Congratulations on obtaining the quest reward: Platini's "French Heavenly Pride" module!】

【The synonym for attacking midfielders.】

【The role of a forward is not to shoot, but to pull out space for me.】

【The godfather of Barcelona!】

The dark gold module hovered in mid-air.

The True Eye gushed forth. Frantically struggling.

The two gradually merged into one.

【The "French Heavenly Pride" module's additional bond triggered: Perfect Partner!】

【Scanning for bindable targets...】

【Target locked...】

【Binding in progress.】

【Binding successful, this teammate's shot-on-target rate with feet reduced by 10%! All other abilities increased by 20%!】

Morata, asleep, suddenly jerked his whole body.

Li Kang: "..."

This additional bond seems to have no significant effect.

Next season, it's almost impossible for me to join the same club as Morata.

"Arsenal is not as weak as outsiders imagine."

"Manchester City is not as comfortable as outsiders imagine."

Cazorla and David Silva each made a summary for their long discussions.

Arsenal is not weak, they were second in the Premier League last season, didn't encounter a cosmic team in the Champions League, and were eliminated by Li Kang-led Lewokusen due to away goals.

As for Manchester City, Guardiola needs time to complete the rebuilding transition, the situation in the first season may not be optimistic.

In short.

The two clubs' levels in the 16-17 season are very close.

In the 2016 summer transfer window, a series of explosive transfer news shocked the world.

The Serie A historical transfer record king was born.

Juventus splashed 90 million euros, signing Serie A's Golden Boot winner Higuain!

The old lady didn't pinch pennies, he discovered Barcelona hadn't renewed with Alves! Decisively brought this world-top-ranked Brazilian full-back home!

How ironic.

Alves refused Real Madrid's high salary, ended up being kicked out by Barcelona!

Nobody understands Barcelona's this magical operation.

Juventus could only tearfully accept the big gift package.

In midfield, they signed Li Kang's... old friend, Pjanic!

The four rising star midfield geniuses in today's football world: Li Kang, Calhanoglu, Pogba, Pjanic!

Everyone is anticipating: what posture will the zebra army take to challenge the Champions League next season?

Inter Milan has money now!

The Oriental consortium took over, they poured in another 1.13 billion euros!

Introduced a group of stars: Joao Mario, Barbosa, Candreva, Banega...

Bundesliga aspect.

Bayern and Dortmund are like exchanging gifts: Gotze and Hummels swapped clubs...

Lewokusen became the protagonist.

Bayer Group made a move!

They lavishly threw out a billion... temporarily lent to the club.

Because Lewokusen will not be restricted by the Bundesliga's 50+1 rule.

Wo Le Er began spending money like dirt.

In next season's Champions League, no one dares to underestimate this super dark horse.

As for La Liga.

Real Madrid this year appears very rational, temporarily not spending money... selling substitutes still made a profit of several tens of millions of euros.

Even Morata's Bernabéu return plan was miraculously halted.

Barcelona cannot calm down.

Media predicts they have invested approximately 1.2 billion to 1.6 billion euros in transfer funds.

They successively signed Seles, Umtiti, Digne, little Dennis, André Gomes, Paco!

When Enrique accepted an interview, he said:

"Barcelona, next season will return to the pinnacle of Europe!"

Meanwhile.

Simeone is also accepting journalist interviews.

"Atlético Madrid spent over eighty million euros... bought a group of very promising players... especially that one... I am very optimistic about him!"

He stroked his large back hair.

Some new signings' names are too long, he cannot finish reading them completely.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what type of player, coming to Atlético Madrid will be infused with Mereldon's iron blood!

The Premier League transfer window is undoubtedly the most watched.

This year the BIG6 seem to be waiting for something.

Temporarily no major transfer deals have emerged.

On the contrary, the player cleansing actions are especially large!

Especially Liverpool, sold Benteke, Kolo Touré, Marković and other 12 players... profit 79.5 million euros.

Arsenal's threshold is about to be broken.

Related news says: Wenger may possibly sell last season's Premier League assist king!

Crazy.

That player is also not the captain.

Again doing the act of selling core players?

Could Arsenal be planning to build a new stadium again?

Paris Saint-Germain and a host of Middle Eastern tycoons, all threw out olive branches.

Manchester City signed Bravo and Stones, then temporarily had no further moves.

Calm Premier League transfer window.

Made all media reporters smell a mysterious and unfathomable scent.

Unreasonable.

Even if Li Kang were to land in the Premier League.

Other positions on the central axis that need buying must also be seized quickly.

What are they saving money for?

Manchester United's official first broke the silence of the transfer market.

Younes Brahimi, free transfer joined.

Mkhitaryan 42.5 million euros joined.

Bailly 30 million euros joined.

Immediately after.

The historical transfer record king of the five major leagues was born!

Pogba 105 million euros, transfer joined Manchester United!

In one fell swoop broke the world football transfer fee new record!

Shocked the whole world.

French genius facing the camera, confidently said: "Li also possibly joining the Premier League? I am very much looking forward to it! In the Premier League he cannot find those national team teammates!"

"Who is better? My agent let me refuse to answer this question."

"The transfer fee has already explained everything."

"The most expensive, and also the best."

Tottenham is having a hard time.

Club chairman X Levy found Son Heung-min returning early for training, spoke earnestly: "Son, you and Li are good friends, the Bukit Asia connection will become London's most beautiful rainbow."

"If he is willing to come over, we could lift the Premier League championship trophy, even the Champions League..."

"Forget it, he is too expensive."

"What do you think of Çalhanoğlu? He is much cheaper, if he could spark with Alli and Eriksen."

"My transfer budget is 10 million euros, weekly wage 80,000 pounds! Need to use charm to attract him over, Tottenham next season is a strong contender for the Champions League."

Premier League famous glutton for money.

Poor English imperial star-Kane, at this time his weekly wage at Tottenham is far less than the true English imperial star-Lingard would be.

And Chelsea?

Stamford Bridge, middle-aged men's filial cry shook the glass lightly trembling.

"It feels terrible not being able to spend money."

"It's too cheap."

"27 million euros? A young talent from Real Madrid's youth academy! Hurry up and buy him—what are you waiting for?"

"We can't miss out on the next Li."

"And there's that youngster named Bashuayin—his looks suggest he'd make an excellent striker. Marseille's current offer is 37 million euros? Buy him!"

"Who is Salah? The Egyptian youngster on loan to Roma? I remember now—this kid runs fast, and Roma wants to buy him out? Then let him go. A 15 million euro buyout clause? Well... just consider it making a friend."

"Scaya, we should learn more from Mr. Wo Le Er!"

"Hurry up and go see Bei lai yin again! Money is never an issue. If Li is willing to join Chelsea, I'll give him the best of everything."
