Chapter 1 Leverkusen's Locker Room

　　Leverkusen's locker room.

　　Old man Topp was holding a list, sketching on the blackboard.

　　His tone was anxious:

　　"Since Guardiola took over Bayern, the tactics of their youth team have changed a lot."

　　"It's not just the high-pressing, fast-paced football from before, but positional play!"

　　"The most important thing to note is that on the field, they won't have more than four players on the same horizontal line, and no more than two players on the same vertical line! The layering of this formation structure is beyond our capabilities!"

　　"Don't understand? Let me explain. If their Kurt cuts inside, the full-back will withdraw!"

　　"Their players' positions will rotate like crazy in both attack and defense! This allows them to control the advantage on the field! Kurt is their core!"

　　The young players were a little confused.

　　They couldn't digest this sudden injection of knowledge in a short time.

　　The assistant coach glanced at the old man and then said, "It's okay, just play well..."

　　The crowd: "..."

　　Old man Topp sighed and carefully assigned tasks to the young players.

　　As modern football has developed, there are essentially three factors that determine the advantage in a match: the number of players in a local area, individual ability, and position.

　　All of this is achieved by players occupying specific vertical and horizontal areas on the field.

　　Obviously, their own young players were no match for Bayern's youth team prodigies.

　　"In short, as long as we have possession, we expand our attack through collective movement, giving it to..."

　　The young players understood this sentence.

　　Just pass the ball to Li Kang, and Li Kang will then send a through ball to Havertz.

　　The premise is... being able to touch the ball.

　　....

　　Ten minutes later.

　　The players from both sides arrived in the tunnel.

　　They split into two columns.

　　Preparing to enter the field.

　　The faces of the Bayern players were full of confidence and ease.

　　The Leverkusen players frowned as they listened to the roaring shouts outside the tunnel.

　　They rarely played games on such away grounds. Recalling the boos from thousands of Bayern fans when they came here last season, it was really uncomfortable.

　　It was extremely rare to encounter such a "devil" stadium in the Youth Champions League!

　　Kurt's expression was indifferent.

　　He felt that playing in the youth team was a waste of time.

　　His gaze swept across the Leverkusen queue, pausing on Li Kang.

　　Asian?

　　Number 10 jersey?

　　Is this the key player who defeated Monchengladbach?

　　Kurt retracted his gaze, a hint of disdain on his face.

　　....

　　The match was about to begin.

　　The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

　　The Säbener Straße stadium erupted!

　　Bayern fans rhythmically chanted the names of their young players!

　　Among them, Kurt's name was like the main melody!

　　He was their future!

　　When the players from both sides stepped onto the green field.

　　Some Bayern fans noticed the black-haired Asian.

　　"The Leverkusen youth team actually has an Asian? When did that happen?"

　　"Don't you know? It's all over Westphalia! A rising star recruited from La Masia! A... Dragon Descendant!"

　　"Dragon Descendant... That's fucking disgusting! Don't let those idiots from Dortmund find a topic again!"

　　The reason why these Bayern fans hated the people of Dragon Country was simple:

　　During the Asian tour, Dortmund's senior executive Watzke declared: The people of Dragon Country are ***.

　　In 2013, after Dortmund lost to Bayern, the then-coach publicly stated: Bayern is like a Dragon Country merchant, greedy ****!

　　This led to the aversion of some Bayern fans to the people of Dragon Country, wishing to sever all ties between their team and Dragon Country.

　　Soon.

　　Waves of boos and insults swept from the stands around the Säbener Straße stadium, pouring madly towards the Dragon Descendant teenager on the field.

　　Old man Topp pointed at the stands furiously, cursing.

　　Bayern coach - Augenthaler, also quickly turned around and stopped the fans from making inappropriate remarks.

　　But his voice was quickly drowned out by the thrown beverage bottles and popcorn.

　　Li Kang was mute.

　　Not deaf.

　　His expression remained calm.

　　.....

　　Dragon Country livestream.

　　Although the small streamer couldn't understand German.

　　But he could tell that it wasn't anything good.

　　"These foreigners are spraying our Brother Li!"

　　"Damn it! It was the same in the friendly match last time! These devils were hanging ** flags and slogans in the stands!"

　　"Brother Li, fuck them up!"

　　-【Calm down, Messi and Ronaldo are often sprayed and have things thrown at them on away games, what's the use? These remarks won't be punished by FIFA in youth team matches!】

　　-【Let me translate, and you won't be able to calm down...】

　　-【These devils really have the nerve to say these things to a teenager!】

　　-【Football is war in peacetime, scoring goals is the best counterattack!】

　　....

　　"Beep!"

　　The referee blew his whistle, and the match officially began!

　　Bayern's youth team kicked off.

　　From the start, their overall formation pressed forward aggressively.

　　The young players in the middle and front courts frequently switched positions during the advance, demonstrating an extremely terrifying sense of pressure.

　　The football was constantly being passed at a very fast pace.

　　The Bayern fans also erupted in deafening cheers.

　　Making the Leverkusen players a little nervous.

　　They couldn't hear Coach Topp's instructions at all.

　　In just two minutes.

　　Leverkusen's defense was broken through!

　　Two centre-backs were pulled apart by the opponent's forwards.

　　Exposing the gap.

　　Kurt received a pass from his teammate on the wing on the right side of the edge of the penalty area.

　　Unmarked!

　　The inside of his foot heavily struck the football!

　　A perfect arc, curving towards the upper left corner of the goal!

　　The Leverkusen goalkeeper reacted two seconds too late!

　　Clang!

　　The football heavily smashed into the crossbar!

　　Bouncing out of the baseline!

　　The audience sighed!

　　"That was close! Brothers, this Bayern number 10 has some skills!"

　　"Don't panic! The game has just begun!"

　　Kurt didn't show any disappointment, giving a thumbs up to the teammate who passed the ball.

　　The Bayern youth team players also smiled and ran back to the center circle.

　　In their opinion, Leverkusen was too weak, and this match was destined to be a "slaughter."

　　The Leverkusen players gradually adapted to the interference from outside factors.

　　There was no hint of decline on their young faces.

　　...

　　By the sideline.

　　Coach Topp looked helpless.

　　He rubbed his face and sat back on the coaching bench.

　　In fact, there wasn't much suspense in this game; it was just a matter of how many goals Leverkusen would concede.

　　On the other side.

　　Augenthaler didn't have the mind to focus on the game, and instead, he kept waving his hands, stopping the inappropriate remarks of nearby fans.

　　The assistant coach suddenly felt that his coach's image was much more impressive.

　　He was about to pat him on the back.

　　But the Bayern youth team coach shook his head: "Damn it, these stupid fans. We're going to win anyway, why insult a weaker opponent? The FA fine will be on us again!"

　　The assistant coach: "..."
