Center circle, sidelines.

The two head coaches shook hands in a friendly manner, then walked towards the tunnel together, conversing.

Dino watched their backs, sighing, "I saw this scene on TV when I was a kid, but back then I wasn't so old, and Wenger was still a blond gentleman."

Most of the fans were in no hurry to leave, but instead used songs to encourage their respective players.

"We Are Together" and "The Li Kang Song" echoed in the air above the BayArena.

Balotelli silently walked to the sidelines, expressionlessly took off his jersey, and threw it to a young Leverkusen fan.

Then he asked the security personnel next to him to help him tie his shoelaces.

It wasn't showing off.

He really didn't know how to tie them.

Čech and Leno exchanged jerseys.

They didn't exchange gloves, because both of them liked to spit into their palms during the game.

They had met six years ago in the Champions League.

At this moment, they were discussing the four goals conceded in the match.

The Arsenal goalkeeper liked to pass on his experience to younger players, even when facing Courtois at Chelsea, who always mocked him, he was willing to impart everything.

Not far away.

Li Kang was surrounded by his old Leverkusen teammates.

Covered in sweat.

Perhaps anticipating this scene, he didn't go to the locker room to shower when he was substituted.

A moment later.

Brandt, shirtless, excitedly waved the Arsenal number 10 jersey.

Suddenly, he asked in confusion, "Kai? Haven't you always wanted Li's Arsenal jersey?"

Havertz replied with a smile, "This one is for you, I want Li's home jersey in the second leg!"

Hearing this, J. Rodriguez, who was about to comfort the two young players, quickly stopped and turned to walk towards the frustrated Çalhanoğlu.

Post-match press conference.

The media reporters threw sharp questions at the Leverkusen coach.

"Mr. Toppmöller, can your team take a three-goal lead at the Emirates Stadium in the second leg?"

One sentence summarized Leverkusen's current Champions League situation: trailing by two goals, with the opponent having three away goals.

Old Toppmöller tried to suppress his anger, not answering the question directly:

"When you lose like this, you have to acknowledge the strength of your opponent."

"We must learn something from this defeat... even imitate and copy. Watching their game is a pleasure, and I hope Leverkusen can play like this in the future, but that requires a lot of work."

"Arsenal was very successful in tactical adjustments, and Li is the most outstanding midfield commander. Leverkusen will always be his home."

It wasn't entirely lip service.

Old Toppmöller really realized: Li Kang, who doesn't have to fully participate in defense and doesn't have to desperately clean up messes, is really terrifying.

A moment later.

Wenger also accepted the media reporters' enthusiastic questions.

"Leverkusen is a respectable opponent, especially in the use of David Luiz and Balotelli. Old Toppmöller is better than me."

"We won't think Arsenal has already entered the Champions League quarter-finals. We still have to remain humble in the second leg at home."

"The key to winning? Of course, it's Li! He is the key to Arsenal's repeated victories over strong enemies!"

In order to alleviate Leverkusen's pain of defeat, Bender led his teammates to eat fast food.

The Arsenal players returned to the hotel in Düsseldorf.

The Leverkusen executives did not choose to reminisce with Li Kang at this time.

However, Völler was worried that he would catch a cold and sent Kießling to deliver two quilts. This action seemed a bit redundant in the face of Arsenal's perfect logistics department, but Li Kang did not refuse the old man's kindness.

"Don't run around at night, Germany is not the Germany of ten years ago."

"Everywhere is"

"There were as many as 1200 ** cases on New Year's Eve!"

"Many men are also victims."

Kießling said seriously, looking at Sánchez and Giroud.

One likes to have his good friend hide in the closet and peek at him and his wife.

One likes ride-hailing apps.

The two looked a little embarrassed: "You talk just like the club's director."

Xhaka, on the other hand, was holding his mobile phone, paying attention to the Champions League results of his old club, Borussia Mönchengladbach.

"Although Mönchengladbach lost, they lost with dignity. Last season's Champions League runner-up, Atletico Madrid, only beat them 1-0."

Before he finished speaking, Welbeck suddenly interrupted: "Isn't Atletico Madrid always winning 1-0 against everyone?"

Li Kang returned to his hotel room, holding the quilt printed with the Leverkusen team logo.

A mechanical, cold, electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind at the right time.

[Ding, mission completed: North Rhine Bond!]

[Mission receipt: Brian will accompany you through the rest of your career, but it looks like he needs a long rest!]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Leverkusen Legend Platinum Treasure Chest.]

A tender roar of a young beast came from his ear.

Li Kang quickly looked at the treasure chest prize pool: There shouldn't be my module, right?

[Butt "Offensive Goalkeeper" Module!]

[Zé Roberto "Samba Magic Wing" Module!]

[Lucio "Offensive Center-Back" Module!]

[Carvajal "Super Wingman" Module!]

[Ballack "Extreme Gunner" Module!]

[Schneider "Model" Module!]

[.]

Except for the Real Madrid full-back, most of them are modules of the main members of the "Triple Runner-up" period.

After carefully observing it again, Li Kang did not find his name.

The platinum treasure chest floating in mid-air suddenly burst into dazzling light.

[Treasure chest is opening]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Berbatov "Lazy" Module!]

[Treating football? It should be as gentle as treating a lover.]

[Even in the most intense game, the hairstyle must not be messed up, pay attention to elegance.]

[Slow down time.]

Dense white mist obscured the view.

Countless memory fragments flashed wildly in his mind.

A moment later.

He heard a mountain-like roar of cheers.

The LED screen in mid-air showed the year: 2010

Li Kang found himself at Old Trafford, wearing a Manchester United number 9 jersey. The opponent was Liverpool.

Madrid.

Modrić returned home.

He looked like a relaxed artist, with no fatigue on his face.

Even a fierce team like Paris Saint-Germain seemed unable to completely exhaust the Real Madrid midfielder's physical strength in a ninety-minute game.

Five-year-old Ema ran up, hugging his leg.

He smiled, picked up his daughter, and walked to his study.

Since his youth, he had developed the habit of watching game videos every day and taking notes.

A teammate from Dinamo Zagreb said in an interview after retiring: "When we went out to have fun, that kid was actually studying in the dormitory."

The computer screen replayed the match between Leverkusen and Arsenal.

The Real Madrid midfielder took out paper and pen, writing and drawing while muttering to himself.

"When Li doesn't have to take on too many defensive tasks, the offensive resource scheduling ability he shows is really excellent."

"He actually used several different methods in such a short period of time... to destroy the defensive system centered on David Luiz."

"He is very suitable for Arsenal."

"Wenger is indeed the most suitable coach for him."

Also, it will be relatively late, don't wait, everyone go to bed early.
