Chapter 75: He's too savage!

A red-and-blue bus slowly drove toward Nokanpu.

Security personnel on both sides of the street became alert, beginning to obstruct the nearly frenzied Catalan fans.

Beyond the police line, a sea of people.

Red-and-blue team flags fluttering in the wind.

No laurel flowers or bats.

After nine revisions over 121 years, the emblem on the flag is not only a symbol of Barcelona, but also became the spiritual refuge of the Catalan people.

The LED big screens of nearby buildings were playing a group photo of Barcelona's stars.

「Messi!!! 」

「Messi!!! 」

「VamosBarca!!! 」

The magnesium lights kept flashing.

Reporters from all over Europe closely followed the red-and-blue bus as it moved.

Another entrance.

When the Lewokusen bus entered Nokanpu, the scene became much calmer.

There were very few security personnel sent by the stadium.

The pharmaceutical fans on both sides of the street appeared very calm.

Lewokusen's last unscathed departure from Nokanpu had to be traced back to over a decade ago.

Thereafter, their six encounters on the Champions League pitch were as if cursed; even with ever stronger luxurious lineups, they still experienced one brutal slaughter after another.

In the 2011/12 season, Lewokusen battled at Nokanpu, where Barcelona bloodied them with seven goals; Messi descended like a god, scoring five goals alone, setting the Champions League single-match goal record after the reform that remains unbroken to this day.

Dino scratched his head and said, "Boss, our fans seem to have sensed something..."

Tuopu Laotou closed his eyes to rest, without responding.

Li Kang looked through the window at the solemn fans.

He smiled and instinctively waved his hand.

The originally eerily quiet street instantly boiled over!

「Lee!!! 」

「Lee!!! 」

「Lee!!! 」

His teammates momentarily failed to react.

The security personnel on the street were on high alert as if facing a great enemy!

A few Bundesliga reporters stared, and a thought instantly flashed in their minds:

A Chinese-American genius will break Lewokusen's curse at Nokanpu!

The bus slowly drove into Nokanpu's underground parking lot.

Li Kang thought for a moment, then took out his phone from his backpack.

As soon as it powered on, notification sounds from the social app rang continuously.

It turned out to be Morata.

This guy shared a highlight reel of his performance in last season's Champions League final.

【Li! Barcelona's right flank is my hallway.】

Although he had broken Barcelona's goal at the time, if he had said a few less nonsense words, history might have been rewritten.

Also, the national team assistant coach and Little Dennis... sent encouragement as well.

Li Kang pulled down the notification bar to the bottom and saw a message from Tori-chan.

There was no text.

It was merely a photo.

A neon-clad girl wore Lewokusen's number 10 jersey, let down her bangs, and smiled brightly.

Pre-match press conference.

Enrique's attitude was indifferent, and he simply shook hands with Tuopu Laotou.

Media reporters began to ask enthusiastically: "Mr. Enrique, I am Daina from Marca. Over a decade ago, Coach Tuop led Lewokusen to defeat Barcelona! At that time, you were a mainstay player for Barcelona..."

Barcelona's head coach immediately cut off the topic: "Distant historical records have no significance!"

Marca?

How could Nokanpu let a reporter from such a toilet-paper newspaper in?

"Lewokusen is a worthy opponent; Barcelona will give it their all."

"Is Li Kang returning to Barcelona? This occasion is not appropriate for discussing this issue."

Enrique adjusted his tie, appearing unwilling to say another word.

La Liga reporters all pointed their questions at the Lewokusen head coach.

What a 7-1 scoreline.

What a 10-2 scoreline.

It almost broke Tuopu Laotou's defenses.

"Historical records have no significance!"

"Who says Lewokusen can't defeat Barcelona?!"

Barcelona's player tunnel is quite unique.

It is also a red-and-blue hue.

At the starting point, a welcome sign in Catalan, English, and Spanish was hung.

On the wall, the championship moments of generations of Barcelona stars are recorded.

Yinniesita wanted to greet Li Kang.

Busquets stopped him by raising his hand.

There was no communication between the players of both sides.

Moments later.

The lineup began to move.

From outside the tunnel came shouts and drumbeats like a landslide and tsunami!

Son Heung-min and Kramer turned together, patted Li Kang on the shoulder, saying: "Don't be nervous, we're here!"

Li Kang felt the slightly trembling palms of the two, and calmly nodded.

Accompanied by the familiar Champions League anthem.

Li Kang walked out of the tunnel.

The noise in his ears gradually subsided.

He looked out.

As if standing in an endless sea of red and blue flames.

【Ding! Treasure box task triggered: Conquer Nou Camp.】

【Task description: You probably... maybe you can't complete this task, good luck.】

【Task reward: Barcelona Legend·Mysterious Treasure Box!】

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"

"Welcome to the second round of the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League group stage!"

"Barcelona versus Lewokusen!"

"There are many points of interest in this match!"

"The outcome of the two teams will gradually clarify the qualification situation in Group E!"

"Lewokusen is again a guest at Nou Camp; will they continue their losing streak or finally put an end to years of misery?"

"La Masia prodigy Li Kang, facing Barcelona, what kind of performance will he put forth?"

"Let's wait and see!"

"I am the commentator for this match, Duan Xuan."

"I am He Wei."

The Champions League anthem suddenly stopped.

Boateng and Yinniesita stood before the head referee.

The two shook hands and exchanged team flags.

The head referee tossed the coin.

"Now let's introduce the starting lineups of both teams!"

"Barcelona's formation remains 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Bravo!"

"Left back: Alba!"

"Center backs: Mascherano, Pique!"

"Right back: Alves!"

"Midfield: Yinniesita, Busquets, Rakitic!"

"Left wing: Neymar!"

"Center forward: Suarez!"

"Right wing: Messi!"

Dragon Kingdom livestream.

Netizens excitedly sent barrage comments.

-【Barcelona's full main squad... too luxurious.】

-【Isn't the goalkeeper a little lion? Then Barcelona couldn't possibly concede in this match! I'm wondering whether Li Kang would celebrate after breaking Barcelona's goal.】

-【Lewokusen is done! Facing last season's Champions League champion lineup!】

-【Who can tell me what Li Mingdeng and Lewokusen have to win with?】

-【No doubt, another tragedy!】

-【Lewokusen's away kit is white; I thought it was the Spain national derby, haha!】

"Lewokusen lines up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, not using the two youngsters Brandt and Havertz, with Bellarrabe returning to the starting XI!"

"Goalkeeper: …"

Beep!

The head referee blew the whistle!

Barcelona possession!

Suarez kicked off and passed back to Busquets.

The entire Nou Camp instantly erupted in terrifying sound waves!

Fortunately, Tuopu Laotou had the players listen to the 'Nou Camp fan recording' on the training ground for over twenty days.

Beyond everyone's expectations.

Lewokusen did not choose to park the bus and defend!

Four midfield and forward players quickly rushed past the midfield circle!

Conducting pressure in the forty-meter area of Barcelona's half!

Bu Si Ke Ci touched the ball with one foot!

The ball quickly rolled to the vicinity of La Ji Di Qi!

Bei La La Bi lunged forward like a mad dog!

It actually had some effect!

La Ji Di Qi shuffled and nudged the ball.

He turned and passed back to A Er Wei Si, who had made a run up the right flank!

Lewokusen's forward pressure did not stop!

Sun Xing Min and Bei La La Bi charged forward together!

Barcelona's full-back momentarily couldn't find a forward passing lane.

Could only pass back to Pi Ke again.

After receiving the ball, Pi Ke glanced up, seeing the charging Ji Si Lin, and couldn't help but frown.

What the hell?

What do you guys from Lewokusen want to do?

"Lewokusen's opening pressure is fierce!"

"No defensive tendency at all!"

"Look! At this time, Lewokusen had six players rush past the midfield circle and were active in Barcelona's half!"

"Too crazy!"

"Playing like this is dangerous!"

Pi Ke didn't know what had happened to him at this time; his defensive ability was gradually becoming terrible.

But his ball-distributing ability remained top-notch.

Bang!

The ball skimmed the turf, moving at high speed.

It tore through Lewokusen's forward pressure net.

It came to Yinniesita's feet!

Still a one-touch pass.

Mei Xi, strolling into his own half, slowly trapped the ball.

Tuopu Laotou was just about to open a bottle of mineral water, quickly making an exaggerated gesture to signal Ke La Mo and Ben De Er to retreat!

Li Kang did not directly face Mei Xi.

Instead, he ran toward the left flank.

Mei Xi slipped a diagonal pass to La Ji Di Qi, then immediately returned to the right flank.

In the God's perspective.

Barcelona's formation gradually changed.

The midfield trio's one-touch pass did not linger too long in the central channel.

Instead, it gradually shifted toward the left flank.

Ha Wei was gone.

En Li Ke's Barcelona would not waste time in midfield transitions!

There was no lurking threat of a slow knife killing.

Yinniesita repeatedly broke through, shaking off Ji Si Lin and Sun Xing Min.

He delivered an extremely perfect diagonal pass!

"Dangerous!"

"Nei Ma Er!"

Lewokusen's half, forty-meter area!

Nei Ma Er stopped the ball, Ke La Mo and Bo Er Re Si simultaneously closed in!

The Samba genius appeared unhurried.

Perhaps other teams place great importance on the tempo of progression.

But Barcelona focuses more on space.

Bo Er Re Si surged in first from the outside!

The showdown between the two Brazilian compatriots was rather one-dimensional.

Nei Ma Er stepped on the ball with the side of his foot!

An unimaginable scene occurred!

The ball, as if defying the laws of physics, slipped through Bo Er Re Si's crotch!

Ke La Mo was caught off guard; being inside, he couldn't get around in a short time!

"Excellent!"

"According to the translation! The name of this dribbling technique is: stepping the ball to one side!"

"After Nei Ma Er joined Barcelona, he discarded many flashy but useless feints!"

"He got past!"

Duan Xuan's words had just fallen!

Nei Ma Er then went around Bo Er Re Si!

Kick the ball!

In Lewokusen's half, they were swift as wind and lightning!

By the field.

Enrique clapped with satisfaction!

Cut down midfield transitions, letting MSN handle the breakthrough and advance.

This is the successful reform for Barcelona!

Although only he himself thinks so.

On the other side.

Tuopu Laotou and Dino's expressions were tense.

The two shouted at the defensive players on the field!

They frantically gestured.

Neymar kicked the ball very easily.

His dribbling speed was underestimated by European football.

His agile steps were graceful and carefree on the green field.

Kramer and Borges behind him couldn't catch up no matter how they chased!

The four stands of Camp Nou.

Barcelona fans let out hysterical shouts!

Lewokusen fans were worried!

Isn't this just the prelude to Barcelona's goal in the highlights?

Lewokusen's defense—who can stop Neymar?

Moreover, on the outer wing, there's Alba ready to support at any moment!

The thirty-meter area.

Neymar accelerated again, slightly increasing the force of his dribble!

But just as the ball left his foot.

Lewokusen's number 10 rushed out!

The spectators didn't have time to see what happened!

They only knew that the two had an extremely intense physical contact!

The ball bounced high.

Neymar sat down heavily on the grass!

Alba quickly won the ball back.

This guy's speed is very fast.

Li Kang adjusted his position with short steps!

He leaned with his back against Barcelona's wing-back!

He nudged the ball with his forehead!

At the moment the ball landed!

He flicked his left foot!

The ball went around to the right side of his body.

Li Kang turned his whole body!

Alba felt that terrifying force suddenly release, inertia making his body lean forward, almost causing him to fall!

When he tried to chase back again!

Lewokusen's number 10's back receded further and further from him!

The whole stadium erupted in an uproar!

"Li Kang's way of stopping the ball?"

"What's going on?"

"Barcelona players are protesting a foul! The referee hasn't signaled; we'll look at the replay later!"

"Too terrifying!"

"Li Kang's timing of the tackle, ball control, and use of his body! It's practically perfected!"

"He defused the danger in the back line!"

"Lewokusen's attack!"

Camp Nou, VIP box.

Cruyff furrowed his brows: "This is our La Masia kid? Not at all! His ball feel is great... but not at all La Masia!"

Robert quickly echoed: "Exactly! It was just a savage tackle! Li Kang's footwork is average; that's why we sent him to Lewokusen! Our La Masia has too many excellent kids!"

Cruyff nodded.

Suddenly felt a bit sleepy.

In his view, this match had no suspense.

Just that Enrique made Barcelona also not very La Masia.

The old man was very dissatisfied!

In the post-match interview, we must say a few more words!
