Chapter 65: 1974 World Cup Final?

The remaining match time.

For Lewokusen fans, it was simply a kind of torment.

Menxing's offense became increasingly fierce.

The double pivot midfield's low-position rotation and distribution of the ball.

This left Lewokusen's backline scrambling to cope with both flanks.

Li Kang repeatedly seized the opportunities to launch counterattacks.

Unfortunately.

Sommer, who was cheating.

This left Brandt and Son Heung-min repeatedly coming up empty.

Beep! Beep-beep~

When the head referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

The Lewokusen players who had held the score let out a sigh of relief, not immediately celebrating.

Xierbo te cramped up.

Bulant lay face-up on the turf.

Moments later.

Only a few players could still stand on the pitch.

Lai Nuo was kissing the goalpost.

Jisilin and Sun Heung-min's stamina was abnormal; they looked completely fine.

Li Kang bent over, hands on his knees, gasping heavily.

In the final twenty-plus minutes of the match.

There was hardly any garbage or dead-ball time.

Zaka and Dahu de's long-pass distribution drained too much stamina from Lewokusen's defenders.

No wonder, despite starting the original timeline with six straight losses, Menxing could still fight back to fourth in the Bundesliga.

【Ding! Detected increase in match difficulty, reward compensation mechanism activated.】

【Individual performance rating: SS!】

【Mission reward calculation in progress...】

"Lewokusen secured a hard-fought victory!"

"The Chinese-American youngster Li Kang, one assist and one goal! He has been scoring and assisting in consecutive matches! He is absolutely the Bundesliga season's superstar midfield newcomer!"

"Menxing continued their losing streak, but they displayed terrifying attacking prowess in the match's closing stages! At Pulusigongyuanchang, tens of thousands of home fans still hadn't left! They sang the Little Horse team song! They cheered on the Menxing players!"

Duan Xuan and He Wei were in a very good mood.

Although they knew Li Kang was of Chinese descent, deep down they hoped overseas compatriots would play better and better.

Dragon Kingdom livestream.

bullet comments and new comments gradually dwindled.

-【Li Kang is awesome... why are there no comments now?】

-【The Premier League match over there has started! La Site Cheng this season is fierce! They're playing Manchester City today!】

-【The Bundesliga's European competition points have risen, but its global influence remains limited compared to the Premier League's.】

-【Last season, Sun Heung-min and Duosite's godlike duel also didn't attract much attention, I only found out midway through the season that Wolfsburg had an outrageously strong Debulaonei!】

Post-match press conference.

Tuopu Laotou said solemnly: "Shuboting showed excellent command and distribution ability and tactical variation in this match; I suggest Menxing make him a permanent head coach!"

Dino beside him kept his lips shut, embarrassed: "You damn well are still just an interim head coach!"

The media reporters weren't interested in this topic.

Someone asked: "Mr. Tuop, since you took over the team, Lewokusen has never lost a match; do you have confidence of emerging unscathed from Camp Nou in ten days?"

Immediately afterward.

Questions related to Barcelona were like buckets of cold water.

It doused the pride of the explosive-haired old man.

Lewokusen's winning streak didn't cause much of a stir outside the Beilaiyindiq region.

Fans of the top five leagues have long been numb to the news of a few superstar newcomers popping up each year.

But one group is an exception.

Cologne Sports Academy.

Two university students wearing thick glasses were taking notes intently in front of their computers.

"Tangmu! The variable pool isn't enough—how should I extract the common tactical-technical factor Li Kang displayed in the match?"

"Let me see... the correlation between the use of shooting-opportunity tactics and shooting results? You idiot, the direction is wrong! The variable pool should extract his movement heat map on the pitch!"

"That thing? The immeasurable hidden variables are even bigger!"

"Li Kang is one of a kind! In the two matches against Roma and Menxing, he displayed unique game intelligence and positioning, playing a key role in both attack and defense; we'll use factor analysis—we'll definitely obtain a theoretical model!"

After a bout of busyness.

The two were dumbfounded.

They failed to derive a theoretical model.

But the data showed an extraordinarily exaggerated side result: Li Kang could grasp the positioning of all twenty players on the field.

Even the Barcelona squad that participated in the research trial back then—even Hawei... could only grasp the positions of sixteen players on the pitch, which can be called the limit of human capability!

Li Kang... this guy's ability to switch his bird's-eye view is terrifying, right?

He is a true super-genius midfielder... Jerry, if we share this result, would anyone believe it?

People will only think you're an idiot; the SPSS software itself has bugs, you can't just pull anything out to analyze! It's definitely a bug!

Li Kang returned to the first-team dormitory.

The system notification sound rang again.

【Ding! Mission reward settlement complete!】

【Congratulations, Host, you obtained: Gate Prosper Legend-Golden Treasure Chest.】

In midair, a golden treasure chest appeared.

He hurriedly glanced at the prize pool.

【Dasile 'Broken Wing Angel' Module!】

【Fugeci 'Golden Retriever' Module!】

【Neiceer 'King of Laiyin' Module!】

【Shidilik 'Giant' Module!】

【Aifenboge 'Iron-blood Tiger King' Module!】

【Matewusi 'King Midfielder' Module!】

【....】

Afterwards, there was still a long string of modules with the same name but different characteristics.

Gate Prosper's legendary superstars... there are too many of them!

Limited by the treasure chest's level, these modules did not fully exhibit the peak abilities of the legendary superstars.

For example, Neiceer, 'King of Laiyin' was his nickname from his youth.

【Treasure chest opening...】

【Congratulations, Host, you obtained: Fugeci 'Freeze' Module!】

【He is the person Keluyinfu will never forget.】

【Keluyinfu is the person he will never forget.】

There were no additional attribute increases.

The treasure chest emitted a blinding white light.

Li Kang instinctively closed his eyes.

He felt no pain.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an open-air stadium.

Two extremely similar languages filled his ears.

Total!!!

Libero!!!

A young man in an orange number 14 jersey dribbled elegantly, changed direction rapidly, and swept past his side!

Don't just stand there, damn it! Quickly defend against Keluyinfu!

Damn it! The Netherlands team got a penalty kick at the kickoff!

Lewokusen recently had not purchased any traffic packages or hot searches from the Dragon Kingdom's internet.

Wo Le Er naturally had not abandoned his original business plan.

But he thought the money should be spent on the cutting edge.

Only the high-stakes clashes on the Champions League stage have real value.

That's right.

He thought the matchup between Barcelona and Lewokusen was not a one-sided slaughter, but a high-stakes clash.

"Boss, this is Dr. Haken's plan!"

The assistant handed over a stack of documents that had just been printed.

Wo Le Er casually flipped through them.

His expression stiffened: "This old coot is just trying to scam money, right?"
