Chapter 495: The Battle Is Imminent (Everyday Transition)

~6 min read 1,146 words

Kebamu training base.

Chelsea players were doing 'small ball' practice on the grass field, and today the barrier poles again divided the turf into a strange shape.

Tuheer looked satisfied at this scene.

Dino said: 'Boss, your training method is really effective!'

Chelsea head coach shook his head: 'Their talent is naturally outstanding.'

Not far away.

Qiehe was analyzing with Buffon and Caballero the shooting habits of Bayern players and the coordination details of the attacking chain.

The tank-cap goalie god is Bayern's nemesis.

But Buffon is not.

Italy's goalkeeper has high clean-sheet numbers in the European Champions League, but in recent years he has been slaughtered twice by Bayern.

The proud zebra defense conceded nine goals in two matches to the Bundesliga giants.

Winter passed, spring arrived.

On the treetops sprouting tender buds, pairs of magpies clung together.

After training ended.

Li Kang finished lunch and then went to the game arcade.

Looking at the training bases of Europe's top five leagues, the game arcade setups of Real Madrid, Bayern, and Chelsea are the best.

【Module smelting furnace activated.】

【In the process of merging】

Li Kang threw all the 'Mediocre' modules he had collected during this period into the furnace.

The surface of the furnace churned violently.

Black smoke filled the air.

【Merge successful, congratulations on obtaining: Nagelsmann's 'Three Kills Over Bayern' secret manuscript.】

Li Kang: '.'

During the Bundesliga era, the 28-year-old head coach of Hoffenheim, Nagelsmann, once put Li Kang's Leverkusen into difficulty.

He also won the honor of 'Bundesliga Best Coach'.

His glorious coaching career is practically the male protagonist of a football coaching anime.

"Li, why are you here alone?"

Molata handed over a bottle of mineral water and casually turned on the game console.

He is somewhat sensitive and felt the tense atmosphere of the club's up-and-down preparations during this period.

He suddenly said seriously:

"Don't think too much, we will definitely win."

"In the European Championship, Arsenal, and Chelsea, we two have beaten countless strong opponents all the way!"

"Life is like a box of chocolates; if you eat it with me, the flavor is forever sweet."

Li Kang smiled and took the game controller handed over by the other person.

Time flew by.

Two days before the European Champions League semifinal kickoff, Heynkes led the entire Bayern squad to arrive early in London.

The 73-year-old old man walked out of the arrival gate, looked up at the blue sky and said: "April's London is not at all London."

Outside the cordon, Bayern fans accompanying the expedition had already gathered.

Slogans like 'King of London' and 'Conquer London' were waving wildly.

Boateng turned his head to glance at goalkeeper Wuerlaixi and encouraged: "Li isn't scary at all!"

Wuerlaixi nodded, his gaze searching the crowd, suddenly overjoyed, he ran all the way to the outside of the cordon and warmly embraced and kissed his wife.

The Bundesliga goalkeeper's wife stroked her slightly bulging belly, wearing a look of sweet happiness.

Boateng: '.'

Bayern's second goalkeeper has a beautiful, cute wife who often, in public training, has to produce 'dog food' while separated by a fence from his wife.

The feeling is like: you're playing soccer at school, teammates keep zoning out while kicking, and you greet the girlfriend on the sidelines.

April 28.

Stamford Bridge Stadium, a sea of people, every seat filled.

European Champions League star-spangled banners covered the center circle line.

Chelsea fans unveiled a giant TIFO of the entire 23-player squad.

London's sky seemed to be dyed blue.

"ESPN! ESPN! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting live the 2017/18 season European Champions League semifinal!"

"Chelsea home versus Bayern Munich!"

"The clash of passion between the blue giant and the Bundesliga giant!"

"The highly anticipated showdown!"

"89 regions worldwide will simultaneously broadcast this match!"

"Who will gain the advantage for advancement tonight? Let's wait and see!"

Pre-match press conference.

Tuheer broke with his usual habit and lavishly praised the opposing head coach.

"Heynkes is a great coach; when I was still a rookie, he gave me lots of pointers for my first Bundesliga match as a coach, whose opponent was exactly the Leverkusen he coached; I remember that day's date was August 9, 2009, a lovely afternoon."

Applause thundered.

On the other side, Heynckes smiled and shook his head.

He corrected, "It's August 8th."

Everyone couldn't help but smile, marveling at the 73-year-old veteran coach's memory.

Many years ago, Heynckes once evaluated Tuchel, saying, "He is definitely going to coach Bayern Munich at some point."

Player tunnel.

Bayern Munich's stars embraced Li Kang one by one.

Too familiar.

They kicked with feeling.

Alaba laughed, wanting to say something, but Lewandowski stopped him with a glance.

Robben had no reservations, lightly patted Li Kang's shoulder, and said, "Good luck!"

Buffon rubbed the 'old flying hero's' head, laughing, "You kid look even older than me."

Moments later, the lineup moved.

The referee squad led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

At Stamford Bridge, a tsunami-like cheer erupted, drowning out the stirring Champions League anthem.

VIP box.

Abramovich clenched his fists and said, "This time facing Bayern, we don't need to win anxiously!"

"Next, let me introduce the starting lineups for both sides."

"Chelsea lines up in a 3-4-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Buffon!"

"Defenders: Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Rudiger."

"Midfielders: Moses, Li Kang, Kanté, Marcos Alonso."

"Forwards: Hazard, Morata, William."

Live broadcast room.

【This formation will turn into a five-defender setup for most of the match to resist Bayern's positional play breakthrough.】

【I feel like it's five forwards?】

【Bless Li Mingdeng's Champions League journey to go smoothly, unstoppable! May the God of Wealth bless!】

【Come on, Chelsea!】

"Bayern Munich lines up in a 4-2-3-1!"

"Goalkeeper: Ulreich!"

"Defenders: Rafinha, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba."

"Double defensive midfielders: Martinez, Thiago."

"Attacking midfielders: Robben, Müller, Ribery."

"Forward: Lewandowski!"

Live broadcast room.

【I always thought Robben and Ribery had retired; how many years have these guys been playing?】

【Only Heynckes can get the strongest performance out of this lineup; please, Robben and Boateng, please stay uninjured!】

【Li Mingdeng's opponents the past two years have been a weakened "blind chicken kicking" version of Bayern?】

【Ten minutes before the match, the half‑goal handicap dropped to level, a lure—be careful!】

【The over/under opened at 3.5/4 goals; do you notice what the 4.5 odds are? William's 1.44 death odds—both teams are bound not to produce a full attack!】

【After years of battling with Happy Beans, I've never seen such a bizarre in‑game odds shift.】

The breeze by the banks of Stamford Bridge brushed the black hair.

Li Kang took his position.

The clamor in his ears vanished instantly.

【Ding, mission triggered: The roar of the Bundesliga giant.】

【Mission briefing: This may be the toughest match you'll face in your club career; go unleash yourself on the green field! Enjoy this wonderful night!】

【Mission reward: Bayern Munich Legendary·Dark Gold Treasure Chest.】
