Chapter 379

Maguire pulled out a little notebook, looking serious.

"Refer to the past records of the two teams over the last three seasons."

"From September 14, 2014 to now, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met ten times, winning only two matches, one of which was the Champions League final."

"How many times did Atletico Madrid win?"

"Five times."

Welbeck looked astonished, who usually cares about this data: "How can Atletico Madrid not shake Real Madrid and Barcelona's La Liga dominance?"

Maguire shook his head:

"Let's not talk about things before the 21st century."

"Starting five years ago, Atletico Madrid began to shake the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona."

"Copa del Rey champion, La Liga champion, UEFA Super Cup champion... reaching the Champions League final twice in three years."

"But I still think Real Madrid can turn it around and advance tonight!"

"Atletico Madrid's defensive line... is injured all over, especially the right flank! Juanfran can't play, so the starter in his place is the youngster Lucas Hernández, who is completely unsuited for the right flank, but Simeone has no one else to use."

"Real Madrid can blow up Atletico Madrid's right flank!"

"The one who will reach the final will be Real Madrid."

Welbeck gestured: "Atletico Madrid's right flank is Real Madrid's left flank..."

Bernabeu Stadium.

Madrid derby, fighting spirit high.

Zidane's expression was relaxed.

Simeone frowned.

The ball zipped quickly between the white jerseys.

The Galacticos launched wave after wave of attacks on the White Army's flanks.

The Atletico Madrid youth academy youngster Lucas was under great pressure.

He was still in his youth.

Which defender's Champions League debut... is facing attackers of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo?

Or is he playing right-back, which he's not good at?

Guardiola said I am a left-footed genius defender like gold... Simeone, how did you put me in this position!

Although he likes to hit on girlfriends, Lucas still gradually got into match shape.

Seize the opportunity.

Like Li, to turn the tide.

In the end, the whole match ended.

Real Madrid 3:0 Atletico Madrid.

Yin Si Ke repeatedly missed good chances.

Cristiano Ronaldo descended like a god, perfect movement, hat-trick, helped the team complete a comeback, and qualify for the Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid's side: poor youngster Lucas was blown past by Marcelo, then eaten alive by substitute Asensio... also in central defense he was shaken to the ground by Benzema, repeatedly overlapping positions with Savic and Godín...

Simeone had his hands in his pockets, expressionless.

Zidane didn't celebrate excitedly, just simply raised his fist.

Although the Real Madrid head coach is criticized as "mysticism," "dog-leash crown," "slow in-game adjustments," "hard luck"... in fact, in high-stakes matchups he is very good at seizing the opponent's weak points and dealing a heavy blow.

His only headache is Yin Si Ke.

How come something that was easy for me when I was young, this kid can't do it?

"The matchup result for the 2016/17 Champions League final has officially been revealed."

"Real Madrid and Arsenal."

"Galacticos versus the Gunners."

"The two teams will arrive at Qiannian Qiuchang in a month; whichever side wins the championship, it carries great significance."

Major sports media's front-page headlines, website homepages repeatedly swapped in images of Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Fans spread the word.

Everyone is looking forward to the showdown at the pinnacle of the Champions League.

The £200 million man versus the star-studded Galacticos.

North London.

Welbeck gave Maguire a thumbs-up.

"The prediction was truly accurate."

"Can you defend against Yin Si Ke, Benzema, and Bale?"

Ma Kuier confidently said: "With Li here, I can definitely defend against the two ahead, no need to worry; Xi Mengni has already given us some hints at the tactical level in the two legs of the semi-final!"

Everybody laughed heartily.

There is still a little over a month until the Champions League final.

The most important thing now is to win the Premier League title and the FA Cup.

Li Kang retracted the red line in God's perspective.

Xi Mengni's tactical deployment is coherent.

As for Zidane's tactics?

It is almost exactly what the fans say: "Kick aimlessly, win by mysticism."

Only tactical adjustments at a few key points can reveal the clue.

Qidannei still has skill.

Days passed one by one.

Teammates' injuries healed one by one.

The various benefits brought by the 'Turn the Tide' module gradually disappeared.

The comprehensively enhanced Perpetual Motion Heart module also dimmed.

Li Kang's life was peaceful and monotonous; aside from the coaching staff closely monitoring his various physical indicators, there was hardly anything else to distract him, letting him focus on preparing for battle and studying.

The assistant postponed most of the advertising endorsement shootings: he hadn't originally expected Arsenal to reach the Champions League final, not because he lacked confidence, but because he overlooked this in scheduling.

"Li, do you know? Tottenham's Ali! He got drunk and posted a naked photo of himself on social media!"

"Also Balotelli, while livestreaming he hugged a **** big-breasted cow."

"Ghana forward-Asnas, when giving his post-match remarks, mentioned his wife but slipped and said the name of his mistress."

"Mertesacker and Cech will retire after this season, one staying at Arsenal in a staff role, the other switching to ice hockey."

"Arsenal has already offered you a salary contract for next season, they will give you a raise and more generous tiered bonuses."

The assistant chattered on, only stopping to sip some bottled water when he felt thirsty.

He really enjoys his current work situation.

Li and Wo Le Er are both easy to get along with.

Premier League match day has arrived.

Round 32.

Arsenal hosted Liverpool at home.

Klopp brought his youthful storm onto the Emirates Stadium.

"Is it bitter? Think of the * army Liverpool."

This youthful storm still hasn't solved its defensive problems, and the Premier League coaching staff quickly found their weakness.

After the reply was made public...

Wolves.

Southampton.

Swansea.

Crystal Palace.

Hull City.

All the mid-to-lower table teams thoroughly tormented Klopp's side.

Anfield was repeatedly breached.

Liverpool's coaching staff were harried.

The defensive problems could no longer be solved at the tactical level.

We need to sign players!

Klopp also had a headache: Coutinho and Barcelona were eyeing each other, arguing about splitting up, with Barcelona offering 1.3 billion! The problem arose—so much money... how should it be spent?

Li Kang stood in the stands, rare to enjoy the spectator's view, with Welbeck and Maguire beside him shouting wildly.

The Arsenal coaching staff were very confident about winning this match.

But they didn't want the 200-million-euro man to be worn out by the opponent's frenzied pressing.

Setting aside the result.

Playing against a team like Liverpool makes it easy to get worn thin.

The match was especially intense.

The two sides went back and forth.

Sanchez missed the penalty.

Coutinho fired a screamer to break the deadlock.

Morata snuck past Casillas and slotted the ball into the empty net to equalize.

Firmino scored a bicycle kick to put Liverpool ahead again!

Giroud's Scorpion Tail...

"He who defends is the loser" intense battle had fans from both sides shouting in delight.

Finally.

Arsenal 4:3 Liverpool.

Morata, Sanchez, and Giroud scored in succession, successfully defending home ground!

Arsenal is only one match away from winning the Premier League title!
