The younger generation in Spain has no affection for the royal family.

Few people would support such an outdated and old institution.

Especially after a series of scandals involving the old king were exposed, the public became extremely disgusted with the monarchy.

Kings and princesses would be imprisoned and exiled.

Heirs to the throne would be expelled from school for failing exams.

From time to time, thousands of protesters gather in Madrid, demanding the abolition of the monarchy.

Some people even miss a certain meritorious dictator immensely.

But for certain special reasons, the royal family will not be abolished in the coming decades.

...

June 22nd.

King Felipe VI led two young princesses to Île de Ré.

There wasn't much pomp and circumstance, only a dozen bodyguards in suits accompanied them.

Tennis player Nadal, basketball player Gattuso, and famous tenor Domingo were also in attendance.

After all, it is the poorest royal family in Europe.

Media reporters followed and filmed the whole way.

When the royal convoy arrived at the training base, it attracted many local residents to watch.

...

On the training ground.

Felipe VI said excitedly, "Vincent, I'm here to support you with the hopes of the entire nation."

Only Del Bosque smiled and bowed, because he is a hereditary marquis.

As long as the royal family doesn't fall, his grandsons can still live off the state... the taxpayers' money.

Flashes of镁光灯 went wild.

Media reporters had already thought of the headlines in advance.

《The Hope of the Nation! A Symbol of Loyalty and Courage! Marquis Del Bosque!》

The reactions of the other stars were... very perfunctory.

Bowing is impossible, at most they'll nod.

Especially the Catalans, Basques, Galicians... not to mention Diego Costa.

They prefer the commoner queen, Letizia, who has had nude photos taken, is divorced, and has been a frontline war correspondent.

She is the epitome of courage and strength.

At the age of 44, she is simply the perfect dream lover.

...

Felipe VI doesn't mind, his father and sister had too many scandals, and he must work hard to restore the image of the royal family.

He must be close to the people!

He took turns shaking hands and thanking the stars and technical team members.

When he came to Li Kang, the King and the two little princesses couldn't hide their excitement and immediately took three red number six jerseys from the bodyguards.

The reporters raised their cameras again, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Miniano handed over a signing pen and whispered, "Li, sign..."

Li Kang nodded seriously, and then quickly signed his name.

Felipe VI and the little princesses were overjoyed, and excitedly held up their jerseys to the camera.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when they saw the crooked handwriting on the jersey.

Ah, it's too ugly!

The signature of Spain's talented midfielder, the matador legion's sword-bearer, the new helmsman of the invincible fleet... why is it at the level of an elementary school student?

Carvajal couldn't help but laugh.

Immediately afterwards.

Joyful laughter filled the entire training ground.

After carefully examining it, Diego Costa frowned and said suspiciously, "What are you laughing at? Li's handwriting is quite good."

Li Kang's expression was calm, most of his assignments in Germany were math and geometry problems.

Leverkusen almost never let him participate in jersey autograph sessions that brought him into close contact with fans.

Princess Leonor's cheeks were flushed.

She hesitated for a long time, and seemed to have made a major decision, carefully tiptoeing... and whispered a few words in the King's ear.

Felipe VI's face turned liver-colored, and then he waved to summon the attentive Miniano.

The royal family pays great attention to face, and a short sentence has to be passed through three people before it reaches Li Kang's ears.

Li Kang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Felipe VI's expression relaxed.

Princess Leonor looked a little disappointed.

The reporters' expectations were also dashed: they were still waiting for a lengthy report on a beautiful fairy tale story spanning time.

....

An hour later.

The Spanish royal family left Île de Ré.

Morata scurried to Miniano's side and asked, "What did the princess want to do to Li?"

Miniano said sternly, "What are you thinking? The eldest princess simply wanted to have an ordinary royal greeting with Li, to express the royal family's condolences and care."

Morata said in surprise, "So that's a hug and a kiss?"

Pui, pui, pui.

Miniano said with disgust, "What's on your mind? This is the purest royal etiquette."

In the distance.

Other players were engaged in a分组对抗赛.

Isco was very satisfied with Li Kang's rejection of the princess.

His eyes sparkled.

Even when facing an empty net, he had to pass the ball back to Li Kang at the arc of the penalty area...

On the sidelines.

Del Bosque was slightly surprised: "Isco passed the ball? This guy's vision has improved a lot!"

....

Coach Del Bosque's coaching team is very wary of high-intensity training before the game. When facing Italy, they might even have to fight until overtime, so after each day's basic training and lineup cohesion, they urged their players to take the time to get massages and rest.

Regarding the diet, each player continued to follow their respective club's menu.

Li Kang would take the time to watch his teammates play soccer games every night.

"Wow, Li! You're too slow in the game, not as easy to use as Pogba!"

"Nonsense, you're the one using your brains, not Li!"

"What's going on? Can your Buffon catch Li's cannon shot? There are so many bugs in this game!"

"It's not strange, how many seniors' cannon shots has Buffon held up in reality?"

"Try choosing Arsenal, Čech can catch cannon shots with one hand without dropping the ball!"

Morata and Saúl held the controllers and babbled.

...

De Gea held his phone, leaning against the back of the sofa, and asked curiously, "Li, are you a Libra?"

Li Kang thought for a while and nodded seriously.

The Manchester United goalkeeper said regretfully, "Then we're doomed, Buffon has never been scored against by a Libra player in his many years of professional career!"

Since 1995, there has been no shortage of一流射手 who are Libras in Serie A and Champions League matches, but unfortunately none of them have broken Buffon's goal.

Luck is a part of soccer games.

Some metaphysics, you can't help but believe it.

Diego Costa touched his butt and said embarrassedly, "I'm a Libra too!"

Someone once ranked the best lineup in history according to the twelve constellations.

Libra is almost invincible.

Coach: Wenger.

Goalkeeper: Yashin.

Defenders: Kohler, Thiago Silva, Vidić.

Midfielders: Deschamps, Totti, Rijkaard, Ballack.

Forwards: Pelé, Ibrahimović, Rummenigge.

.....

The days passed by like this.

After training every day, Li Kang would repeatedly watch Juventus and Italy game footage.

If he can't get past Italy, it means that Spain's road to revival is in vain.

In his spare time, he also played through 《Quantum Break》 and 《Uncharted 4》.

With the overwhelming coverage of the European Championship, his popularity around the world is getting higher and higher, and the Leverkusen number 10 jersey and the Spanish number 6 jersey have sold out.

His phone receives financial news from his little assistant every day.

Girls who haven't been in contact for a long time also sent encouraging photos and texts.

Li Kang certainly didn't reply, he always deleted them silently after reading them.

....

June 29th.

The Stade de France was brightly lit.

Fans from Iberia and the Apennine Peninsula gathered in the suburbs of Paris, France.

Two cultures began to collide passionately.

The most watched match of the round of 16 is about to kick off!

Spain vs. Italy!
