Chapter 1 Skaia's Emotional Management Skills

Ms. Skaia's emotional management skills were very strong.

A moment later.

She adjusted her mindset and smiled, "Chelsea's defensive intensity is the best in Europe, especially our goalkeeper, Courtois..."

Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the TV speakers.

On the big screen.

Ibrahimovic received a pass from a teammate on the left side of the field, 40 meters away from the goal, and unleashed an earth-shattering, super long-range world-class shot.

Such devastating power.

Left Courtois helpless!

He could only watch as the football drew a strange arc in the air and plunged into the net!

"..."

....

Ms. Skaia's smile froze.

Damn it, is today not a good day to speak?

A moment later.

The game on the TV screen was still intense.

Everyone got up, shook hands, and said goodbye.

As she walked to the door.

Ms. Skaia turned back and added, "You have plenty of time to consider it slowly, and Stamford Bridge will have everything ready."

Li Kang nodded.

Bayer Leverkusen respected his personal wishes, and he would decide where to go next season.

He can’t stay.

A certain star gave the answer: even with a pay cut, even giving up honors, he still can't stay.

Force him to stay?

For both Bayer Leverkusen and Li Kang, it would be a lose-lose situation.

The story of one person, one city, has not completely disappeared, but it only exists in well-established giants.

Roma and Totti?

The former glory of Roma cannot be compared with the current Bayer Leverkusen.

There is an "invisible hand" in the transfer market.

....

The little assistant couldn't open the umbrella for a long time.

It was snowing in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The snowflakes were like willow catkins, falling thicker and thicker in the cold wind.

"Li, we still have to go to the Veltins Arena to shoot the last commercial of the year."

....

Veltins Museum.

Night fell.

The quiet ancient town under the moonlight was like a colorful fairy tale.

A business car with the Bayer Leverkusen team emblem slowly drove into the parking lot.

Ms. Sandra and the staff had been waiting for a long time.

With the triumphant progress in European competitions, Li Kang had become a red-hot superstar.

But European advertisers still couldn't figure out why Veltins had spent a fortune a few months ago to make the unknown Li Kang its spokesperson, and without focusing on the Asian market.

Film studio.

The bearded director seemed uninterested.

"Li, I'm sorry to say, your partner is still the football!"

"Next season, I don't think there will be any suitable female stars to match you... I mean in terms of the commercial content!"

"Let's hurry up!"

...

The greater the fame of the spokesperson.

The more the product fits the consumption level of ordinary people.

The content of the advertisement will also be simpler and more straightforward.

The filming only took a little over an hour.

The bearded director looked regretful and told the staff to pack up the equipment and retreat.

"Li, keep in touch! I admire your facial expression management, and I will wait for your retirement!"

Facial expression management?

Ms. Sandra and the little assistant looked at each other in confusion.

....

Li Kang took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and walked out of the studio, where he saw Claudia.

The girl patted the armrest twice heavily and said, "New, won't break."

The wheelchair rolled slowly on the bluestone bricks, crushing the fallen snow.

Aphasia seemed to be contagious.

Claudia stopped talking.

Stars dotted the light purple sky.

The streets of the ancient town were very narrow and long.

...

After a long time.

Li Kang felt the shadow in his brain sometimes spreading and sometimes contracting.

It seemed that he was gradually finding a little bit of the moment when the shadow spread to the extreme in the Battle of Camp Nou.

He pushed the wheelchair carefully.

Afraid of breaking it again.

Claudia suddenly asked, "Next summer, when you transfer to a club in a big city, will you come back to North Rhine-Westphalia?"

The advertising contract with Veltins will expire in the summer.

Li Kang thought for a while and shook his head.

He had no concept of what a big city was.

Whether he went to North London or Manchester, he probably wouldn't have the chance to come back...

The snow fell thicker and thicker, dancing in the cold wind.

Tactics instructor Berenta had said: "In the process of growing up, you will meet many people, unavoidable intersecting lines, clearly meeting, but eventually drifting apart."

That's not right.

He quickly grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair that was trying to get away from him.

He took out his mobile phone and typed a line of words.

The screen blocked the girl's view.

'I will come back to North Rhine-Westphalia to see you.'

Claudia was stunned, and a flush of color appeared on her pale face.

She stretched out her finger and gently swiped across the screen.

A large string of messages in the phone's notification bar had not yet been cleared.

"Are there many people you want to see?"

.....

An hour later.

Li Kang returned to the reception room of the Veltins Museum.

There was no soapy, bloody drama.

He was a serious person and rarely replied to messages sent by girls on social media accounts.

Even if he lost his mobile phone one day, it wouldn't become a trending topic.

The most important task at this stage was to play football well, how could he chat with girls every day?

He must be self-disciplined.

Claudia was an exception because she could "recharge" him.

He quickly opened the system panel.

He forgot to open the platinum treasure chest.

He didn't have much interest in item rewards.

For example, the green orange-flavored soda candy that improved concentration always made him sleepy after each game.

[Platinum treasure chest opening...]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Advanced Lucky Charm *1!]

[Luck is part of strength.]

[Advanced Lucky Charm: Buff item, disposable consumable, duration: 2 hours, specific effect unknown.]

.....

Two days later.

All of the Champions League Round of 16 matches were over.

The quarter-final results were:

Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Juventus.

Wonderful moments dominated the headlines of major sports media.

-[Ibrahimovic is awesome! Di Maria is awesome! Why was Paris eliminated?]

-[Hazard is indeed the third best player in the world!]

-[Which is stronger, Pogba or Li Kang, the young generation of talented midfielders? Don't compare EQ!]

-[Li Mingdeng was only at the top of the scorer list for less than twenty-four hours before being overtaken again!]

-[No matter how the draw is made for this year's Champions League quarter-finals, any match will be a clash of titans!]

.....

Bayer Leverkusen had no time to consider their Champions League quarter-final opponents.

The coaching staff was busy making tactical arrangements and discussions.

Two days later, they would be at home to face their strongest opponent in the Bundesliga: Bayern Munich!

"What's the point of watching the game footage between Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern? We can't imitate their style at all!"

"Bender tore his obturator internus muscle again? Damn it! Why am I so unlucky?"

"You said to start Çalhanoğlu? That kid will be ravaged by Vidal!"

"Havertz is not good either! He can restrain Wilshere, but he can't restrain any of Bayern's midfielders!"

Old man Topp was screaming hysterically in the meeting room.

The coaching staff members were expressionless, and they had long been accustomed to their coach's mania.

Dino rubbed his temples and comforted him, "Boss, calm down... even if we can't win, Borussia Monchengladbach can still screw Bayern over!"

Hearing this.

Everyone wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason.

....

Bayern Munich training base.

"You are too fast!"

"You hesitated!"

"Again!"

"No! I need to rest for a while!"

Alaba waved his hand to Robben, walked to the sidelines, and picked up a bottle of mineral water.

The two often exchanged views on tactics and techniques.

This talented Bayern full-back has learned a lot from the "Robbery" duo.

"There is a problem with the way you cut the ball with your right foot. If that genius from Bayer Leverkusen catches on to this weakness, our defense will be in danger!"

"There is also a bad habit of passing the ball... when you get rid of these two shortcomings, you will be the top player!"

Robben babbled.

Alaba nodded perfunctorily.

It's not that he doesn't want to change. He was rated as an intercontinental-level genius full-back by major media outlets at the age of 18.

Now at the age of 23, his basic technical movements have already been finalized.

......

Alonso and Vidal were doing strength training.

"I feel that kid is even more difficult to deal with than Xavi!"

"Impossible!"

"Who do you think is more troublesome, Xavi or Pirlo?"

"Um... can you not ask such philosophical questions?"

The two were very, very familiar with Xavi and Pirlo.

They had been teammates and opponents.

.....

The Bundesliga match day arrived.

Guardiola still had a draft paper in his hand, doodling as he appeared at the pre-match press conference.

Facing the reporters' eager questions.

He raised his head slightly and smiled:

"Li Kang, Xavi, and I are different types of players!"

"He was indeed not valued enough at Barcelona. I suggest that the media should not always associate him with the La Masia topic. He is going his own way. There are very few players in La Masia who can jump so high."

"A system player? He brings his own system!"

"I admire him very much, and I also admire Barcelona's goalkeeper, Bravo!"

On the other side.

Old man Topp was snubbed.

After all, he was a "three-time runner-up", while Guardiola was a "six-time champion"!

"This game will be very difficult!"

"We will defend our home ground! Bayern Munich will not be able to retreat unscathed!"

....

BayArena.

Crowded, all seats were filled.

"Ctv5! Ctv5! Good evening, viewers and friends!"

"Welcome to the thirteenth round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"

"Bayer Leverkusen is at home to face Bayern Munich!"

"Battle for the top spot!"

"The peak showdown in the Bundesliga!"

"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"

"I am He Wei!"

....

Player tunnel.

Alaba took the initiative to say hello to Li Kang.

He was not German and was not affected by all sorts of ideological influences. His thinking developed relatively late. When he saw a teenager in his teens, it was like meeting a peer.

He was just about to say something when he saw Lewandowski's warning glare.

That's right.

Lewandowski was the number one anti-dragon head.

Li Kang didn't care too much.

He smiled and looked at Bayern's talented full-back.

The Alaba at this time really looked like a child actor in a certain family comedy. It's not just similar, it's exactly the same!

....

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

The stands of the BayArena instantly erupted with deafening cheers!

The hot air balloon printed with the Bundesliga logo slowly rose!

"Next, we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides!"

"Bayern Munich has lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Neuer!"

"Left back: Lahm!"

"Center backs: Boateng, Benatia!"

"Right back: Alaba!"

"Defensive midfielder: Alonso!"

"Central midfielders: Robben, Vidal, Müller, Costa!"

"Forward: Lewandowski!"

"Bayer Leverkusen has lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper:..."

.....

With the referee's whistle!

The game officially began!

Bayern had possession!

Lewandowski kicked off and passed back to Alonso.

The players from both sides quickly began to run!

The football went through several passes.

And came to Robben's feet!

Bellarabi quickly pressed forward, but before he could utter a single trash-talking word!

He was easily shaken off by Robben with a sudden stop and change of direction!

"Robben is in good form recently!"

"His left leg injury has just recovered!"

.....

The next game.

Was simply Robben's one-man show on the wing.

Thirty-meter zone.

Kramer tried to intercept!

Robben didn't change his advancing route in advance, and just rushed forward!

Pa!

Just at the moment when the Bayer Leverkusen defensive midfielder extended his foot!

Robben gently poked the ball!

He still used extremely simple changes of direction to complete the raw move!

"A completely unreasonable way to get past someone!"

"In the blink of an eye, the football has reached Bayer Leverkusen's dangerous area!"

....

Livestream room.

The comments flew thick and fast.

-[Robben dribbling into the penalty area! Classic scene!]

-[One person tore through Bayer Leverkusen! What are the other teammates doing!]

-[Where is his hair? Still playing in the Bundesliga? An old骥伏枥 (jì fú lì, an old steed in the stable still aspires to travel a thousand miles), his ambition is to travel thousands of miles!]

-[Don't joke, Robben is only 31 years old this year! Old Messi!]

-[Robben's step frequency is not the best in the world, but his long-distance raid and breakthrough ability is awesome! Did you see this strange running posture? Doesn't it look like Fei Xiang is dancing!]
