Chapter 76: Why isn
Dragon Kingdom livestream room.
The slow-motion replay showed the physical contact between Li Kang and Neymar.
-【One vs two? Am I watching a sci-fi movie?】
-【That's pretty awesome, this tackle really wasn't a foul! Li Kang touched the ball first, and Neymar's instep even kicked him! That made the ball pop up, the timing of his kick was too precise—I'm starting to suspect he's a cyborg!】
-【Li Kang is smart; he knows he can't stop Neymar head‑on, so he waits for the opponent to accelerate and dribble. This kind of play I could pull off with a cheat in a game, but in real life can you calculate the positioning that precisely?】
-【His improvement is insane—look at his trap and dribble… Li Mingdeng gets stronger every match.】
-【Stupid director, why not switch back to the match? I want to see Li Kang crash through the middle!】
Camp Nou.
Some Barcelona fans booed the referee in dissatisfaction.
Lewokusen fans cheered and jumped for joy.
From the opening pressure to the perfect steal and counterattack.
Our team displayed the vigor it ought to have!
Tuopu Laotou and Dino were so excited they almost ran into Barcelona's technical area!
Relying on his impaired sense of the ball.
Li Kang burst forth with an exaggerated burst of speed, shaking off Yinniesita, who tried to intercept from the flank.
After all.
Baggio had his meniscus removed at 17.
He also has a balanced‑foot module.
"An astonishing touch rhythm!"
"His running posture is too graceful!"
"The first two steps are quick, but then the speed gradually drops off! Here comes Rakitic!"
How strong is Rakitic at this time?
In the Croatian national team, he and Modrić are called the "golden duo."
After joining Barcelona with the title of UEFA Champions League‑winning midfielder, he initially couldn't fully integrate into La Masia's system, but Enrique tailored a "engineer" style for him, doing the dirty work.
Excellent coverage ability.
One‑on‑one defensive toughness.
Delicate footwork.
No matter which European powerhouse he joins, he can become a core player.
But he is willing to be a top‑class assistant at Barcelona.
Near the center circle.
Rakitic's steal timing is just as perfectly timed!
With the strong physique of an Eastern European, he fears no physical confrontation.
He madly charged toward Lewokusen's number 10.
In his mind he was already plotting the passing lane after a successful steal.
This is a required course for every Barcelona bench player!
Smack!
In the instant of close contact.
The ball left Li Kang's left foot.
It skimmed the turf.
It brushed past Rakitic's side!
It rolled toward Bellarabi ahead!
"Oh no!"
"You should have passed earlier! One more second and we'd lose the ball!"
"The line is spot‑on! Is he waiting for Bellarabi to run into space to receive?"
"Barça's shape is pushed too high, Alba hasn't gotten back—Lewokusen's chance!"
At the sideline.
Enrique's expression was calm.
In his view: Li Kang is merely a young talent who likes to play smart, lacking confidence in his dribbling, and unwilling to clash head‑on with Rakitic.
He slipped the ball diagonally to a teammate up front, thinking that would threaten Barcelona's back line?
Sure enough.
The right half of Barcelona's 40‑meter zone.
Bellarabi, under Alves's interference, took too long to trap and adjust the ball!
He couldn't just burst forward!
Why, with such good physique and technique, can't he become a top winger?
It's mainly limited by his vision and football IQ.
This guy completely missed Kiessling's frantic hand signals for the ball beside him!
The din at Camp Nou instantly drowned out the Lewokusen striker's shouts!
Bellarabi heard nothing.
Under Alves's pressure, he chose to pass back...
Tuopu Laotou's defenses collapsed instantly, and he was so angry he nearly fainted.
Ah! Lewokusen wasted a great attacking opportunity.
Kieslin's supporting run was great, why didn't Bellarabi push the ball forward? Such a short distance!
Kieslin then passed the ball to Son Heung-min making a forward run on the left, wouldn't the attack be formed?
No chance! Li Kang needs to reorganize the attack! The match will turn into a positional battle.
Hardly had his words finished.
Li Kang, relying on God's perspective, acted first, trapping the ball.
Rakitic quickly tracked back, not closing in, but blocking his passing lane.
Busquets roughly anticipated Lewokusen's upcoming attacking routes, likewise not pressing forward, constantly adjusting his position.
In a brief instant.
This top defensive midfielder considered all factors: Lewokusen could only slow the tempo, reorganize the attack, and when Alba took position, Rakitic could start pressing.
Hmm, everything... is under my control.
VIP box.
Kruyff nodded satisfied: "Busquets' defensive thinking is world-class, look quickly! His positioning strangled Lewokusen's attack in the cradle."
Barcelona's defensive line is now widening the gap to prevent Lewokusen from launching attacks from the flanks; Enrique is still decent, although he is not a orthodox La Masia product.
Robert quickly chimed in: "Yes yes yes, Busquets is still very young, Barcelona basically doesn't need...."
He spoke only halfway.
The old man suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, expression surprised!
In Li Kang's God's perspective.
The spacing between Barcelona's backline players' runs is expanding.
Son Heung-min and Pique's positions are about to overlap.
That's the moment.
He lightly pushed the ball forward.
Two-step run-up.
Calf exerted force.
He shoved it hard!
In an instant.
Barcelona's half of the pitch was like a square cake.
It was perfectly sliced diagonally by a scalpel.
Camp Nou.
Barcelona's team anthem suddenly stopped!
Lewokusen fans were wildly excited!
Here it comes!
Li Kang's signature skill! An ultra-long through pass!
The ball speed is very fast! This time the route doesn't seem very good!
But Son Heung-min's diagonal run timing is perfect, Pique doesn't have time to turn!
Busquets was dumbfounded!
His gaze followed the ball's trajectory, unable to do anything!
How come Li Kang doesn't play by the book!
Not organizing, organizing?
Not sorting, sorting?
Clearly he slowed the tempo, yet still wants to fire a cold shot?
No, how did he catch the loophole in the back line?
Is his vision possibly more terrifying than Xavi's?
Pique's biggest weakness is his unstable turning speed; occasionally fast, mostly slow.
This time, he was slow!
Son Heung-min received Li Kang's pass on the left side of the penalty area!
No time to make many adjustments!
Mascherano came over to provide cover!
Bang!
Lewokusen's winger lofted a perfect curling shot!
The ball spun violently, blasting toward the far corner of Barcelona's goal!
Barcelona fans found it hard to accept the reality before them.
Enrique also couldn't accept it.
Lewokusen fans hadn't reacted yet.
Tuopu Laotou also hadn't reacted yet.
Who the hell could have imagined that Lewokusen would so easily threaten Barcelona's goal!
