Chapter 182 Bundesliga Champions!

Neuer stomped his feet in anger.

Beneath his platinum gloves, his fingers were numb.

He guessed the right direction, touched the ball, but couldn't change the outcome.

De Bruyne was gone, and now this Li Kang had appeared.

...

Li Kang staggered forward two steps before collapsing onto the grass.

The cheers of his teammates rang in his ears.

Son Heung-min and Bellarabi were the first to rush over.

His teammates swarmed him, forming a high human pyramid in Bayern's half.

"Li, you're amazing!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Damn it, why are you pinching my butt?"

"Wait for me, I'm not up yet!"

Leno sprinted all the way from his own penalty area and landed heavily on top.

Several screams rang out from the pile.

In the away stands, the thousands of traveling Leverkusen fans had red eyes.

They had never been this close to the Bundesliga championship trophy!

The club was 113 years old... and their best league finish was runner-up in the Bundesliga!

....

At the edge of the field.

Dino slid down into the player tunnel on his backside.

Coach Toppmöller hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing, kid?"

"Boss, I'm going to get them to prepare the wheat beer!"

On the other side.

Guardiola stared blankly, mechanically scribbling on a piece of scratch paper.

Wrong!

I was wrong!

The core of the build-up play should be transferred to the goalkeeper!

Bravo, the Chilean goalkeeper from Barca – Bravo, he must be the ultimate answer I'm looking for!

Assistant coach Torrent had a bitter expression.

He had worked with Guardiola since their time at Barca and rarely saw his boss like this.

Defeated.

With the loss of this game, the coaching team's three years of reform at Bayern Munich had also come to naught.

......

Ctv5 studio.

-【Li Mingdeng is awesome, which club is the most suitable for him next season?】

-【If we put aside transfer fees and salaries and just look at it from a tactical perspective, it's definitely Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool!】

-【Juventus: with the old guard of Chiellini and Bonucci plus Buffon, Li Kang doesn't need to worry about defense, he doesn't need to always run back to help defend, he can fully unleash his playmaking and attacking firepower, inherit Pirlo's position, their overall strength can at least reach the Champions League final level, Allegri has also advocated attacking football in the past two years, not a complete turtle shell, and... the daughters of the Agnelli family are quite pretty, maybe they'll even give Little Li a wife.】

-【Paris Saint-Germain is no good! The coach is too dictatorial, he's focused on promoting Rabiot and Verratti, no amount of money can win the Champions League.】

-【Liverpool doesn't have Champions League qualification next season, they don't have Europa League qualification, forget about it.】

-【Putting aside transfer fees and salaries, Arsenal's passing system is the most suitable, Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey, and Coquelin...forget it, the money issue can't be ignored.】

-【Manchester United is very close to Pogba, the news is everywhere, they won't consider Little Li.】

-【The news about transfers won't become clear until after the European Cup.】

-【I hope Little Li can go to a club with strong overall strength next season, so he doesn't have to play so hard...】

.....

Allianz Arena.

In the stands, Leverkusen's cheering slogans gradually gained the upper hand.

Bayern fans were depressed.

Their own superstars were besieging the opponent in their penalty area.

But they couldn't break the deadlock.

That Leverkusen number 10 seemed to understand every aspect of Guardiola's Bayern attacking system, always appearing in the most crucial position at the most crucial moment to clear the ball.

Time ticked away anxiously.

The LED scoreboard hanging in the air still displayed a glaring 0-3!

"Li Kang's win rate against Cthulhu-esque coaches is as high as eighty percent!"

"Whether it's Van Gaal, Enrique, Tuchel, or Guardiola, none of them can tactically overcome him!"

Cthulhu-esque coaches? What the heck?

He Wei couldn't help but nudge Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly added, "Cruyff's improved Total Football... a series of systems derived from the development of modern football."

....

75th minute.

Alonso couldn't withstand the "Yue Buqun-style" harassment any longer and left the field with the help of the team doctor.

He cursed and swore towards Leverkusen's half of the field.

The crowd booed.

Son Heung-min's eyes were red, his face was innocent, and he looked aggrieved with tears in his eyes.

It's still that "Yue Buqun-style" bad habit, similar to Suarez's biting tendencies, he suffered from discrimination and bullying in the German football environment since he was a child, so in many cases, when he's at a disadvantage on the field, he'll turn on "self-protection mode"...

If VAR existed at this time, he would definitely have the title of "Dirty Forward of the Bundesliga."

The referee didn't hesitate and showed the Asian forward a yellow card.

...

82nd minute.

Robben cramped up.

Li Kang was helping him stretch his leg.

The "Flying Dutchman" was old, ravaged by injuries, and his body couldn't withstand many more rounds of changes of direction and sprints.

Looking at the Leverkusen number 10 in front of him.

He vaguely recalled the days at Stamford Bridge.

At that time, he was in his prime, full of vigor, and had the same lush hair as Li Kang...

....

86th minute.

Bayern Munich couldn't break through after a long siege.

To reverse the situation and win the championship, they had to score four goals in the remaining time!

Leverkusen's defense gradually deformed under the high-intensity pressure.

Jonathan Tah didn't stop his foot while closely marking Muller...

Too tired.

His defensive movements were also distorted.

Beep!

The referee pointed to the penalty spot and showed the black center-back a red card!

"Penalty!"

"In the final stages of the game, Bayern Munich has been awarded a penalty, can they create a miracle comeback?"

"With Alonso off the field, the penalty taker will be... oh, we see Lewandowski standing in front of the penalty spot, he is the best penalty taker in Europe after Balotelli, he hasn't missed a penalty in the past two seasons!"

"He has taken a total of 36 penalties in his career, scoring 33! A success rate of 92%!"

Beep!

After the whistle sounded.

Lewandowski ran up and chipped the ball!

The ball lifted off the ground, drawing a spoon-like arc, extremely beautiful, and lightly floated towards the center of the goal!

"Panenka!"

"Floa... the goalkeeper didn't move, he steadily caught the ball!"

Allianz Arena, deathly silence...

Lewandowski's face was ashen.

Leno patted the ball, he was also a little confused: the Bayern forward's footwork changes were too complicated, making it difficult to judge the direction of the penalty, causing him to stand still...

Leverkusen teammates all gave their own goalkeeper a thumbs up!

Everyone was excited.

The originally rapidly depleting stamina seemed to be fully restored at the moment of saving the penalty!

Coach Toppmöller opened the fingers covering his eyes and began to celebrate wildly.

Leverkusen was only a few minutes away from lifting the Bundesliga salad bowl!

.....

93rd minute.

The last moment of stoppage time.

Inside the Leverkusen penalty area.

Muller made a magical run, received Kimmich's chip pass, and shot with a small swing of his leg!

Li Kang slid to the ground! Forcibly blocking the ball out of the baseline!

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the game!

In an instant.

Fireworks and salutes went off in the away stands!

Red marine flares spewed out plumes of smoke.

All the cameras were pointed at the Leverkusen number 10 lying on the ground!

Clap!

Clap clap clap!

Allianz Arena, there was not only the cheers of Leverkusen fans, but also applause from their opponents!

The young King of North Rhine-Westphalia, single-handedly creating three goals, used a dominant performance to overturn the Bundesliga giants and conquer Germany!

Coach Toppmöller and Dino ran onto the field without regard for anything else.

Followed by Leverkusen's substitute players, team doctors, coaching staff...

No one looked back at the glittering silver salad bowl.

Their souls seemed to resonate at this moment.

Their hearts were surging.

"A new chapter has begun in the history of Bundesliga football!"

"A great victory with a few scares!"

"A historic moment."

"Leverkusen welcomes the first Bundesliga trophy in the club's history!"

"So many near misses."

"A hundred years of arduous waiting."

"A new Bundesliga champion!"

"German Double Crown!"

"What exciting words!"

Duan Xuan and He Wei were so excited that they were almost incoherent.

The Allianz Arena in the screen was being enveloped by a black and red wave.

Thousands of Leverkusen fans crossed the fences, climbed over the advertising boards, and rushed towards Li Kang's direction without hesitation!

Banners, posters, and team flags fell along the way...

A moment later.

"Lee!!!"

"Lee!!!"

"Leverkusen allez!!!"

Amid the cheers.

Li Kang's figure rose and fell above the crowd.

The King of North Rhine!

The King of North Rhine, carrying the team's offense and defense on his shoulders, advancing alone!

Van Dijk and Jonathan Tah carefully raised their hands, afraid that someone wouldn't catch him properly.

Coach Toppmöller and Dino were extremely anxious.

"Don't drop our treasure!"

...

The air was filled with the sour taste of beer.

Dark beer!

Not Paulaner wheat beer.

It was Veltins dark beer.

Leno, holding a three-liter beer glass, chased after Coach Toppmöller and Dino!

Brandt took the Bundesliga championship trophy from a Bundesliga official and rushed to Li Kang at the first opportunity.

Faced with the onslaught of the beer shower.

He used the salad bowl to shield Li Kang!

His hand slipped.

Clang!

The trophy fell heavily on the grass.

Everyone was horrified.

Havertz quickly picked it up, blew on it twice, and stuffed the salad bowl into Li Kang's arms.

The surrounding crowd instantly quieted down.

All eyes were on the Leverkusen number 10, full of anticipation.

The honor of the championship would be held up by the hero...

Li Kang was stunned for a moment.

Then he raised his hands high.

The salad bowl, symbolizing the Bundesliga championship, was dazzling under the spotlights!

"Leverkusen allez!!!"

Allianz Arena, went crazy again.

...

"Congratulations to Leverkusen, congratulations to Li Kang!"

"Oops..."

"Next, let's go to a commercial break, the world's leading sports protection brand reminds you..."

In the studio.

Duan Xuan and He Wei's hearts could not calm down for a long time.

The director didn't have time to blur Li Kang, urgently inserting commercials was the most sensible thing to do.

As for the data?

Ctv5's assistant didn't know what he was doing, he hadn't sent it over yet!

Time can dilute everything.

Only the champion can remain in people's memories.

...

The chaos subsided.

The Bundesliga championship podium was quickly set up.

Li Kang took a shower, changed into a brand new jersey, and returned to the field.

There was no other choice.

His original clothes had been stripped off by the crazy fans, fortunately, Voller was afraid he would catch a cold, and required him to wear sliding shorts in every game!

Otherwise, the whole world would witness Little Li's "Bundesliga debut"...

The last star to be stripped naked seemed to be Totti of Rome?

Ctv5's viewers vaguely recalled: the embarrassed figure of the Prince of Rome covering his junk and entering the tunnel...

...

The broadcast in the Allianz Arena began to play the exciting Bundesliga theme song.

Li Kang and his Leverkusen teammates took the stage.

The Bundesliga salad bowl was raised high.

Flashes of light flashed wildly.

Leaving behind precious photos.

"Li Kang's Bundesliga journey has come to an end!"

....

After a long time.

The revelry gradually subsided.

The crowd didn't dwell on the joy of winning the championship.

Parting.

Leverkusen teammates inexplicably thought of this word.

Brandt and Havertz were still young and couldn't hide anything in their hearts, they didn't consider the atmosphere and the occasion.

"Li...next season..."

Just as the words came out.

Leno's big hands covered the mouths of the two young players.

"Don't ask, work hard, you're still young... try to keep up with Li's pace! Maybe there will be a day when we meet again!"

Other teammates... Leno couldn't guarantee.

Brandt and Havertz's talents were too explosive.

Especially Havertz.

According to normal development, as long as he doesn't have any major injuries, he will definitely have the opportunity to fight alongside Li Kang in a few years.

Bellarabi whispered, "Hakan, are you sure you're not staying at Leverkusen?"

Calhanoglu shook his head: "I'll think about it after the European Cup!"

Li Kang was gone, and he would still be the core of Leverkusen, after all, it was difficult for a Bundesliga club like Leverkusen to find a better outstanding midfielder.

Kramer and Bender winked at Son Heung-min, and the three quickly put their arms around each other and began to whisper something, occasionally chuckling.

The gentleness of the night in the suburbs of Munich has always been on the lips of bards.

....

Post-match press conference.

The soaked Coach Toppmöller became the protagonist.

The media reporters didn't seem to care about the Leverkusen coach's feelings about winning the championship, they didn't give the old man a chance to show off, and asked questions about Li Kang's future next season.

Coach Toppmöller looked embarrassed and said slowly:

"We had an incredibly wonderful season."

"Li Kang is a gift from God to North Rhine."

"Leverkusen has earned a lot of broadcast revenue, as well as the generous bonuses for reaching the Champions League semi-finals and winning the Bundesliga double crown."

"We will make a lot of signings after the summer transfer window opens."

"Yes, Leverkusen will still be competitive next season."

He didn't know where Li Kang was going either.

Voller was tight-lipped.

How could Leverkusen keep the rising European star...

On the other side.

Guardiola faced the cameras and microphones and said in a calm tone:

"I'm going to coach in the Premier League, if I was 60 or 65 years old, I would stay at Bayern, but I think I'm still young enough and I need a new challenge."

"The possibility of Li joining Manchester City?"

"Sorry, I don't know about that yet!"

Until now.

This tactical fanatic realized that he might have the opportunity to fight alongside Li Kang!

He unconsciously sketched a floor plan in his mind.

Li, how should I use him?
