Chapter 319: The Carefree Brother Module? (Everyday Transition)
At the edge of the centre circle.
The two head coaches shook hands amicably, then walked together chatting toward the tunnel.
Dino watched their backs, sighing: "I used to watch this scene on TV as a kid, only back then I wasn't that old, and Wenger was still a blond gentleman..."
Most fans weren't in a hurry to leave; instead, they sang to cheer on their own players.
The songs 'We Are Together' and 'Li Kang's Song' echoed above the BayArena.
Balotelli silently walked to the sideline, expressionlessly took off his jersey, and threw it to a young Leverkusen fan.
He then had a nearby security guard help him tie his shoelaces...
He wasn't showing off.
He really doesn't know how to tie them.
Ceich and Lai Nuo exchanged jerseys.
They didn't exchange gloves, because both like to spit saliva into their palms during the match.
They had met six years ago on the Champions League pitch.
At that moment they were discussing the four goals conceded in the game.
The Arsenal goalkeeper loves to pass on experience to juniors; even back when he faced Courtois at Chelsea, who constantly mocked him, he was willing to share everything.
Not far away.
Li Kang was surrounded by Leverkusen's old teammates.
All big, burly men.
Perhaps he had anticipated this scene, so when he was substituted off he didn't go to the locker room to shower.
Moments later.
Brandt, shirtless, excitedly waved an Arsenal No. 10 jersey.
He suddenly asked, puzzled: "Kai? You've always wanted Li's Arsenal jersey, haven't you?"
Havertz laughed and replied: "I'll let you have this one; next leg I want Li's home jersey!"
Hearing that, James Rodriguez, who was about to console the two youngsters, quickly stopped, turned, and walked toward the dejected Calhanoglu.
Post-match press conference.
Media reporters fired sharp questions at the Leverkusen head coach.
"Mr. Tuop, can your team lead by three goals at the Emirates Stadium in the second leg?"
One sentence summed up Leverkusen's current Champions League situation: trailing by two goals, the opponent has three away goals.
Tuopu Laotou struggled to suppress his anger, not answering the question directly:
"Losing like this means you have to acknowledge the opponent's strength."
"We must learn from this defeat... even if it's imitation and plagiarism, watching their matches is enjoyable; I hope Leverkusen can one day play like that, but it will still take a lot of work."
"Arsenal has been very successful in tactical adjustments; Li is the finest midfield commander, and Leverkusen will always be his home."
That wasn't just empty talk.
Tuopu Laotou truly realized: Li Kang, who doesn't need to fully engage in defense or desperately clean up, is simply terrifying.
Moments later.
Wenger also accepted the reporters' enthusiastic questions.
"Leverkusen is a worthy opponent, especially in the use of David Luiz and Balotelli; Tuopu Laotou is better than me in that regard..."
"We won't consider Arsenal already into the Champions League quarterfinals; the home leg next time still requires humility."
"What's the key to winning? Of course it's Li! He's the key that lets Arsenal repeatedly beat strong foes."
To ease Leverkusen's loss trauma, Bender led the teammates out for fast food.
The Arsenal players, meanwhile, returned to their hotel in Düsseldorf.
Leverkusen's higher-ups did not choose to catch up with Li Kang at this time.
However, Wo Le Er worried he might catch a chill, had Kislin send over two blankets... This gesture seemed somewhat redundant before Arsenal's well‑organized logistics department, but Li Kang did not refuse the old man's kindness.
"Don't run around at night; Germany isn't what it was ten years ago."
"Everywhere..."
"On New Year's Eve alone, there were as many as 1,200 ** cases!"
"Many of the victims were also men."
Kislin spoke seriously, gazing at Sanchez and Giroud.
One likes to let his good friend hide in the wardrobe to peek at him and his wife...
One likes ride‑hailing cars.
The two looked a bit embarrassed: "You kid, you talk just like the club's director."
Xhaka, meanwhile, gripped his phone, monitoring the Champions League result of his former club, Mönchengladbach.
"Mönchengladbach lost, but they lost with dignity; last season's Champions League runners‑up, Atlético Madrid... only beat them 1‑0..."
He hadn't finished when Welbeck suddenly interrupted: "Who does Atlético Madrid not beat 1‑0?"
Li Kang returned to his hotel room holding a blanket emblazoned with the Leverkusen crest.
A mechanical, cold electronic synth sounded at just the right moment in his mind.
【Ding, mission completed: Bei lai yin bond!】
【Mission feedback: Bu Lai En will accompany you through the rest of your career, but it looks like it needs a long rest!】
【Congratulations on obtaining: Leverkusen Legend·Platinum Treasure Chest.】
A tender young beast's roar came from nearby.
Li Kang hurriedly looked at the treasure chest's prize pool: "Surely my own module won't show up, right?"
【Bu Te "Attacking Goalkeeper" Module!】
【Ze Luo Bo Tuo "Samba Magic Wing" Module!】
【Lu Xi Ao "Attacking Center Back" Module!】
【Ka Wa Ha Er "Super Wingman" Module!】
【Ba La Ke "Extreme Heavy Gunner" Module!】
【Shi Nai De "Model" Module!】
【...】
Apart from Real Madrid full-backs, most are modules of the main members from the 'Sanya King' era.
After carefully observing once, Li Kang did not find his own name...
The platinum treasure chest floating in mid‑air suddenly burst out with a blinding light.
【The treasure chest is opening...】
【Bei Er Ba Tuo Fu "Lazy" Module!】
【How to treat football? Should be gentle as with a lover.】
【Even in a fiercely intense match, the hairstyle must not be messy; pay attention to elegance.】
【Let time slow down.】
The thick white mist blocked the view.
Countless memory fragments frenziedly surfaced in the mind.
Shortly after.
A cheer like a landslide and tsunami came from beside the ear.
The LED big screen in mid‑air displayed the year: 2010.
Li Kang found himself at Old Trafford Stadium, wearing a Manchester United No. 9 jersey... the opponent was Liverpool.
Madrid.
Mo De Li Qi returned home.
He looked like an artist enjoying leisure, with no fatigue on his face.
Even a Paris Saint‑Germain as fierce as wolves and tigers seemed unable to completely exhaust Real Madrid's midfield stamina in a ninety‑minute match.
Five‑year‑old Emma toddled over and grabbed his calf.
He smiled, picked up his daughter, and walked toward the study.
Since his youth, he has cultivated the habit of watching match videos daily and taking notes.
A teammate of Dinamo Zagreb, when interviewed after retirement, said: 'When we went out to have fun, that kid was actually studying in the dormitory...'
On the computer screen, a replay of the match between Lewokusen and Arsenal was playing.
Real Madrid's midfielder took out paper and pen, scribbling while muttering to himself.
When Li is not burdened with heavy defensive duties, the offensive resource allocation ability he displays... is truly outstanding.
He actually, in such a short time, used several different ways... to destroy the defensive system centered on David Luiz.
He is very suitable for Arsenal.
Wenger is indeed the most suitable head coach for him.
