Chapter 99: Golden Left Foot

The Dortmund centre-back was expecting Lewokusen's number 10 to use his body to collide.

His body was extremely strong; he was also a two-footed balanced player, belonging to the current Europe T1-tier defenders!

The essence of interception lies in mastering one's own centre of gravity and judging the attacking player's centre of gravity.

Not afraid of a hard challenge!

Papa was also observing Li Kang's step frequency and ball-touch rate, the distance of each step dribbling.

A few seconds later, he couldn't help but furrow his brow:

This kid uses his left foot every time he touches the ball?

It's an illusion!

Too deliberate!

"The showdown between Papa and Li Kang!"

"It will be an intense physical contact!"

"What kind of sparks will they create?"

Just at the moment when the two got close.

Li Kang slowed his speed, his body shifted to the side!

Papa knew the opponent was going to pass, so he immediately stuck out his foot!

The timing of the tackle was perfect, the action speed extremely fast!

By the sideline.

Dino and Tuopu Laotou were worried:

"This type of centre-back, Papa, is Li Kang's nemesis!"

"Not mentioning his many advantages, in terms of physical confrontation alone, he would not be at a disadvantage."

"A Cruyff turn?"

"In open play, especially during counter-attacks, using this move would seriously slow down the attacking rhythm."

"According to Li Kang's personality, he would rather pass back than miss a fighting opportunity because of a dribbling move."

"Tuchel was a bit nervous."

"In this round's match, the temporary three-centre-back system's division of labour was to have Papa shut down Li Kang, who is not good at ball control and dribbling!"

"But since that kid can complete the Cruyff turn,"

"might he still be hiding other tricks?"

"Impossible!"

"Even if he could do a Marseille turn and a Harvey turn, he still couldn't get past the current Papa!"

"Papa's right foot is very fast."

"Li Kang's left foot is even faster."

"Under the spotlight, the two shadows were swept over by a 'V'-shaped trajectory!"

"The Dortmund centre-back missed with his foot, his expression froze."

"The ball went around to his back."

"Li Kang also appeared behind him."

"The whole stadium erupted!"

"Golden left foot!"

"

"V-shaped pull ball!"

"!"

"Oh my god!"

"Unbelievable!"

"As light as moving a heavy object, an antelope hanging its horns, treading snow without leaving a trace... chasing the ends of the earth!"

"As beautiful as the banks of the Bei lai yin River! An intoxicating left foot!"

-【Li Mingdeng! Awesome! 666666!】

-【Baggio possessed!】

-【I thought there would be a Marseille turn, or Harvey's 'magic power turning circles', fried dough balls!】

-【Only the V-shaped pull ball won't slow down the counter-attack rhythm!】

-【Also the 'ox tail dribble'!】

-【Don't set the bar so high! In recent years, only the dribbling styles of Bale, Messi, Robben, and Hazard don't waste time!】

Dortmund fans were stunned!

Lewokusen fans went crazy cheering!

Everyone's deepest impression of Li Kang... is his beast‑like body!

Only today did we realize he also has a golden‑like left foot!

Dino spoke incoherently: 'Boss! Did you see that clearly?'

Tuopu Laotou hysterical shouted: 'I fucking saw it clearly! Li's left foot, in just a brief moment, completed the continuous action of pulling the ball back and pushing it forward! The centre of gravity then followed the ball to turn the body!'

"The ball was like it was drawing a V around his back!"

"Damn it! Why does he have so many advantages?"

Tuchel's gaze was dazed.

Not only because of Li Kang's one dribble.

His brain was racing, as if he understood the whole process...

The intention of the flank attack was seen through.

The division of duties among the three centre-backs.

Could that kid have seen through his own intention?

Li Kang dribbled into the thirty-meter zone.

While practicing the Cruyff turn, he had thought about which feint moves could be done with one foot.

The V-shaped drag ball is the simplest for his golden left foot.

Although this move does not slow the attacking rhythm, its drawbacks are also significant.

For example, when facing Real Madrid's Varane, it's impossible to lure the opponent into committing a foot!

The essence of dribbling ultimately is a contest of attacking and defending focal points, unless physical superiority overwhelms!

"Three attackers versus two defenders in the front!"

"Son Heung-min and Bellarabi are very fast! Their running spacing is perfect!"

"The pressure from Hummels and Schmelzer is huge!"

"Weidenfeller! You can't come out now!"

"Li Kang! Are you about to shoot?"

Li Kang wants to pass!

His position is very close to the penalty area!

As long as the timing of the ground ball is controlled, Son Heung-min can create a chance!

The moment of the kicking process.

A virtual shadow of a red No. 13 jersey struggles out!

Full of contempt and disdain!

Red-clad Barak?

Accompanied by a booming sound!

The football screamed past above Dortmund's penalty area!

It tugged at everyone's heartstrings!

It heavily struck the post!

Finally it bounced into the goal!

Weidenfeller helplessly raised his hand!

2:4!

!

"Another goal!"

"Li Kang! Two assists, two shots! He alone created four goals!"

"The 17-year-old genius midfielder has previously broken through Old Trafford and Camp Nou! Tonight he also made the Westfalen Stadium fall!"

"Who can stop him! Who can stop this season's Leverkusen!"

Breaking through Westfalen is not considered an achievement in the past two years.

Only because last season Dortmund was full of injured players, easy to bully, and their home ground fell many times.

After Li Kang, Son Heung-min, and Bellarabi simply celebrated with a fist bump, they still thought about Tuchel's upcoming tactical change.

The tactical framework is perfect.

But the players' chemistry is not.

For example, even the most advanced system, when applied to the national team, may not necessarily work.

Live broadcast room.

-【Bayern was conceded three goals by Mönchengladbach! If Leverkusen defeats Dortmund, the Bundesliga standings will have three teams tied!】

-【Goal difference and head-to-head need to be considered, hard to say! Leverkusen's bench depth is insufficient, the Bundesliga title race situation is still unclear!】

-【The German Cup situation is not yet clear, the Champions League round of 16 spot should be secure! Fate turns, this year's Leverkusen also has the potential to be the "Sanya King"!】

-【What strong combat-ready bench players does Leverkusen's bench have?】

-【Calhanoglu!】

Leverkusen bench.

Calhanoglu's thoughts flew to the Apennine Peninsula.

He had long been in secret communication with a certain Serie A powerhouse club, which said it would rebuild the team around him as the midfield core.

"Buddy! Hurry up and warm up! You're going on!"

Hearing Dino's shout.

Calhanoglu felt a bit incredulous!

Could it be that his recent attitude has earned the approval of the new coaching staff?

Actually, not going to a Serie A powerhouse in the winter window is fine; staying at Leverkusen means he can play in the Champions League,

Tuopu Laotou put his arm around his shoulder and solemnly said: "Mark that Japanese guy tightly! I allow you to take a yellow card! Perform well! Next Champions League match! I will let you start!"

Calhanoglu nodded seriously: Although he doesn't like being a workhorse, hearing the news of a Champions League start! He's still excited!

He quickly rushed to the sideline to warm up, occasionally waving to the away fans' stands.

Leverkusen, your core! You're back!

Dino wondered: "Boss, are we really going to let Calhanoglu start in the next match?"

Tuopu Laotou replied: "Well, the Champions League qualification outlook is clear, Borisov's icy snowy..."

"Leverkusen used up another substitution slot!"

"Calhanoglu substituted in for Schweinsteiger!"

"They want to strengthen midfield control!"

Tuchel was a bit confused by the opponent's substitution, felt hesitant, and didn't make any in-game adjustments.

Double core tactics?

Double organizing midfield rotation ball-out tactic?

It's not midfield control.

Nor is it double core tactics.

The match continued.

Dortmund's formation quickly pressed forward.

Shinji Kagawa received Aubameyang's return pass, was about to accelerate, but encountered the equally slender Calhanoglu!

The Japanese have a long history of discrimination against the Star-Moon people.

Do you think you have Li Sang's body?

Shinji Kagawa looked disdainful, about to use the move 'Fried Dumpling' to shake off old Calhanoglu.

Anyway, he's the 'Asian Yinniesita'!

Too bad.

His body had long been drained by action actresses, and his movement speed combined with the ball was far worse than before!

However, Calhanoglu's tackling is also pretty bad.

Their first close contact sent the ball flying out of bounds.

The situation underwent a noticeable change.

Calhanoglu tangled with Shinji Kagawa like a crazy engineer, their intense physical contact in the Bundesliga was basically a scrub vs. scrub fight, and the referee didn't even bother to pull out a card!

Bellarabi kept shouting vulgarities at Weigl.

Leverkusen strangled Dortmund's two ball-distribution points in the front and back with the most pragmatic method!

Li Kang found space in his run, relying on God's perspective, he coordinated with teammates to easily neutralize one harmless advance after another from the opponent.

The match fell into a lull.

The drumming at Westfalenstadion gradually faded.

"The time left for Dortmund is running out!"

At the sidelines.

Dino curiously asked: "Head, why didn't we bring on Bellarabi and Calhanoglu earlier?"

Tuopu Laotou laughed: "Because we still needed to attack then! When leading by two goals, we can shift focus to defense!"

"Without Li's few trials, I really couldn't think of a counter-strategy!"

On the other side.

Tuchel sat back on the bench.

He gave up directing.

His gaze was blank.

He felt that his ideal tactical level was growing ever more distant.

Beep! Beep-beep~

The referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match!

"Congratulations, Leverkusen! In this round's clash of titans, you conquered the devil's home ground and tied for third on the Bundesliga table!"

"Young Li Kang not only created four goals on his own, but also contributed a great iconic moment!"

"We greatly look forward to him leading Leverkusen further in this season's European journey!"

The relationship between the players from both sides is quite good.

Aside from Bellarabi and Calhanoglu, everyone else was shaking hands friendly.

Shinji Kagawa shuffled over to Li Kang's side, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He wanted to swap jerseys, but felt his performance in this match was too weak.

Post-match press conference.

The reporters eagerly asked questions.

Tuopu Laotou went with the flow: "Li Kang is excellent; although he suffers from aphasia, he used his actions to tell Leverkusen's coaching staff where Dortmund's weaknesses lie!"

"What a thrilling match! Fortunately we won!"

"He is a silent commander!"

"After curing his aphasia, speaking Spanish? I can't even imagine... I'd rather he not speak."

On the other side.

Tuchel remained silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Li Kang is a unique player; even after retirement he could become an excellent coach."

The club bus drove along the forest road in the deep night.

Dead branches on both sides of the road were covered with a thin layer of white frost, reflecting the faint moonlight.

Li Kang was doing his after-school homework.

Dino supported the suitcase being used as a table.

Tuopu Laotou put on his reading glasses to help check.

After a while.

When the sound of closing the book was heard.

The bus instantly resumed its clamor.

Bei Lai Yin's ballad echoed in the night of Wesfalen State.

Lewokusen's journey is still long.

Barcelona.

Keluyin Fu's gaze was scattered, blankly staring at the TV.

The Barcelona executives' faces were grim.

Robert has been feeling anxious lately, with Barcelona fans blocking the office building every day demanding an apology. He quickly explained: 'We will spare no expense to bring Li back to Camp Nou!'

The Ball Saint Old Man waved his hand and said slowly:

I know everything now.

This summer transfer window, you spent 34 million euros to buy an Allda-Turan who can't play.

You offered Valencia 70 million euros to sign two young players, and you're still raising the price?

You offered 60 million euros for a certain Ligue 1 youngster?

Why did you sell Li to Lewokusen for just 1 million euros, and even support installment payments!

The TV suddenly emitted the distinctive cheering sound of Wesfalen Stadium!

《ESPN- Five Major Leagues This Week's Wonderful Goals! 》

On the big screen.

Young Lewokusen number 10 was surrounded by five defenders in the penalty area...

Li Kang returned to the first-team dormitory.

The system notification sounded softly.

【Ding! Mission completed: War of Inheritance!】

【Mission receipt: Tuchel didn't lose, but you won!】

【Mission reward distribution...】

【Congratulations on obtaining: True Eye!】

【You have seen through everything...】

No further introduction.

There is nothing unusual.

Li Kang glanced at the wall... Hmm, no x-ray function.

It should be like God's perspective, only triggerable in matches.

As for the specific effect... Surely it can't be to see through opponents' jerseys.

Lewokusen.

Sports director's office.

The assistant looked at the pile of business cooperation faxes as high as a small hill and asked curiously: 'Boss, why don't we take on the ad endorsements for Adidas and Nike?'

Adidas offers 2 million euros per year!

Nike's ten-year contract: 1.8 million euros per year, totaling 22 million euros!

Wo Le Er smiled and said: 'Their offer is too low! We used to give Calhanoglu 3 million euros per year! I think this is insufficient respect for Li; other Asian sports brands are far more generous than they are!'

The assistant suddenly realized and said: 'Besides, we are sure to reach the Champions League round of 16; then, depending on which Premier League club we draw! If Li can maintain his stellar performance, endorsement fees will surge again!'

Wo Le Er shook his head: 'Except for Manchester United encountered in the qualifiers, we have no chance against any other Premier League team in the Champions League!'
