Chapter 362: Transitional Chapter

In 2017, Germany welcomed its warmest March since 1881.

Snowflake lilies blooming is a sign of spring's arrival.

Compared to previous years, its flowering season was a full half month earlier.

All things revived.

Throughout Bei lai yin, wherever there is sunshine, there is beer.

A business car drove along the winding mountain road.

The assistant was still watching the news, his expression gradually twisting: "London has seen several fraud cases, with scammers claiming that spending 300,000 euros will let a superstar toast to the client! Who would be so foolish to fall for that?"

"I saw a comment under the Arsenal match report: Balotelli is world-class below the neck, Morata is world-class above the neck, haha!"

Li Kang couldn't help but laugh.

The tablet he held was replaying the first-leg Champions League recording of Monaco vs. Juventus:

The super dark horse failed to continue its miracle; the attacking group formed by Mbappe, B Silva, Falcao, and Lemar went completely silent.

Buffon-led veteran defensive backline gave the impression of leisurely sipping coffee.

Juventus's two goals were both orchestrated by Pjanic and Dybala, with Alves providing the assist and Higuain finishing.

Exactly.

The discarded Barcelona player, Alves, who joined Juventus on a free transfer, was named man of the match.

God's perspective silently recorded the changes in the zebra army's 3-4-1-2 formation.

Monaco was knocked senseless, passively entering the opponent's 'health-preserving wellness' rhythm...

As of now, Allegri, who never plays by the book, has already deployed eight different starting lineups in this Champions League, with in-game variations reaching as high as fourteen.

Since losing the Champions League final to MSN, Juventus' head coach's in-game formation-changing ability has been like a cheat, continuously surging.

The assistant curiously asked: "Li, do you hope Arsenal will meet Juventus in the semifinals?"

Li Kang shook his head.

During the match, using your brain to break the situation consumes a lot of power.

Juventus's ability to exploit weaknesses is too strong.

One hour later.

The business car slowly entered Ertings Ancient Town.

Ms. Shan de la warmly welcomed him: "Li, your performance against Bayern was simply too handsome... sorry, I'm a Mönchengladbach fan."

Li Kang had always thought the other party was a Schalke 04 fan; the Ertings Group has spent over 10 million euros annually on comprehensive sponsorship of Schalke 04 since 2001.

The assistant pulled a small gift box from the trunk: "Ms. Shan de la, this is Mr. Wo Le Er asking me to pass to you privately, thank you for taking care of Li."

Ms. Shan de la didn't react at once; her mind filled with the image of the young Germanic hero, Wo Le Er.

No lengthy pleasantries.

Everyone then got back into the business car and headed to the filming base.

Claudia had a cold, so Li Kang didn't get a chance to see her today.

Their usual interaction on social media isn't much.

Upon learning that a German girl had once pointed a gun at Li Kang, the professor, unconcerned, recommended a few psychology books for Li Kang to share with her.

Filming base.

The big-bearded director waved excitedly.

"Li, your partner this time isn't football but a girl... yes, the Ertings contract that forbids filming with women has expired!"

"Shan de la, your Ertings' choice of endorsers is too wise!"

"Let's seize the time!"

The assistant tiptoed, warily sizing up the girl's back in the crowd: "If that little girl wore high heels, she'd be as tall as Li!"

The big-bearded director laughed: "Don't worry, our shooting theme is very healthy, there's no high-heel nonsense!"

The shooting content is very simple.

Li Kang's partner is named Ai se·Xi shi, two years older than him.

She is very good-looking, with a height close to 1.8 meters.

But the brain's shadow does not need to limit dopamine.

Of course, it's absolutely not because her chest is small.

One must be self-disciplined.

One cannot like someone just upon seeing them.

"Li, you must!"

"Come a little closer!"

"Alright, it's fine if you don't want to get close."

The big-bearded director patted the bag at his feet, which also contained a few Arsenal Champions League away jerseys.

Ai se is very professional, her expression showing no emotional fluctuation; she is a Bayern fan, and this kid yesterday eliminated Bayern, making her cry for half an hour.

Even so, after filming they still politely added each other's social media accounts.

Seeing this, Ms. Shan de la inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly felt: Li and Mr. Wo Le Er are alike—both unswayed by temptation, upright heroes.

After a moment, Li Kang dragged out a suitcase for Ms. Shan de la to pass to Claudia.

Inside were some handicraft specialties purchased from Gijón City.

A pleasant mood lets patients recover faster.

Li Kang naturally hopes Claudia recovers quickly, preferably before the Champions League semifinals.

In the match against the Bundesliga giants, he almost exhausted the energy of his cheat.

Night fell silently.

The Apennine Peninsula.

The Galaxy Battleship embarked on an expedition, and the Lightning Legion stood in strict readiness.

The Napoli fans, who repeatedly committed racist acts, threw banana peels one after another toward Real Madrid's backfield.

The imitating ape's cry: "Bububu..."

Marcelo, Pepe, Casemiro and others received "special" treatment.

This is not enough.

Whenever Modrić got the ball, a part of extreme Napoli fans would shout: "Zingaro"

"!"

Mocking the opponent as a gypsy.

Indeed, Eastern Europeans and Yugoslavians, in their eyes are as dirty as gypsies.

It is very difficult for people of color to make a living in Naples.

Including their own players.

Of course, Maradona, who came from the Third World, is an exception.

Serie A, perhaps the league with the most severe racial discrimination.

Balotelli deeply feels this.

Although Zidane had a violent temper in his youth, he now lets his disciples stay calm: retaliate with goals!

Thus... the Galaxy Battleship unleashed full firepower.

Napoli does not have a Maradona of this era.

In the end, what awaited them was an eliminated outcome.

The Principality of Monaco.

Stade Louis II.

Mbappé fought to exhaustion, gazing at the Zebras' impregnable defense, his eyes still resolute.

The match time passed unnoticed.

The scene was dull.

Juventus led the aggregate score 4-0.

In their Champions League campaign this season, they have conceded only two goals so far.

The defensive all-stars of the Serie A leaders silenced Monaco's youthful storm.

The 69th minute of the match.

Mbappé received a bottom cross from a teammate and scored immediately.

He broke through the goal guarded by Buffon.

"A great record is born: Mbappé and Buffon's birthdays differ by 7,621 days, and they have created the largest age gap between a scorer and a goalkeeper in Champions League history!"

Finally.

The semi-finalists list for the 2016/17 Champions League season has been released.

Arsenal.

Atlético Madrid.

Real Madrid.

Juventus.

No matter which team wins the championship, behind it lies great significance.
