Barcelona.

A dim conference room, silent.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the flat dynamic view on the LED screen.

Enrique kept dragging the progress bar, his brow furrowed.

In the dynamic view.

A small black dot marked with the number 10 suddenly severed the connection formed by several red dots.

The picture immediately switched to the Champions League match between Leverkusen and Roma.

A moment later.

Someone suddenly exclaimed.

Breaking the original quiet of the tactical meeting.

"Leverkusen has given a way to crack Roma's chain system."

"Perhaps the simplest and easiest way."

"The number 10 player in the lens is very similar to the one back then... Look at his three gestures, it was from here that Leverkusen gradually found a way to defeat Roma."

"La Masia's number 4 position!"

The staff turned on the lights.

A burly old man moved his seat and loudly questioned:

"Coach Enrique, Director Robert, I hope the two of you can give the supervisory board an explanation, why was such a genius sold to Leverkusen for only 1 million euros? La Masia in 36 years... has only produced two number 4 players!"

Robert looked embarrassed, hesitant to speak.

The old man stood up and strode out of the conference room.

The remaining staff looked at each other.

Enrique waved his hand.

A moment later.

Only two people remained in the huge conference room.

Robert loosened his tie and said angrily, "Who does he think he is? Do I need to explain to the supervisory board? Bojan was much stronger than Li Kang when he was 17! And now?"

Enrique gently tapped the table: "During the winter transfer window, bring Li Kang back to Barca, I will give him playing time in the Copa del Rey..."

Robert shook his head, excitedly saying, "Leverkusen has signed a new contract with him, let's put aside the high salary for now, that madman Voller only wanted 5% of his image rights! I can't do it! Barca doesn't lack money! But this will affect our club's salary structure! This isn't a movie being filmed like *Goal!* There are too many geniuses emerging in the top five leagues every year!"

"For a discarded player... These stupid old guys have watched too many soccer movies! Imagining a *Goal!* plot for Li Kang?"

"La Masia's number 4 position? Does modern football still need this stuff?"

His tone gradually calmed down, and he even laughed.

Enrique said, "I didn't tell you to negotiate now, after the second round of the Champions League group stage, everything will become very simple!"

"When he returns to Camp Nou, he will understand that there are some things that Leverkusen cannot give him."

"No young man doesn't want to chase championships."

Robert said in surprise, "Could it be that this kid really has the ability to be in Barca's first team..."

Enrique smiled: "Li Kang is not as good as Rakitic for the time being, but it's hard to say in a few years, buy him back, and then like young Denis... Forgot to tell you, Mr. Cruyff's health has been recovering well recently, he will come to Camp Nou to watch the game, the club must prepare in advance..."

Robert suddenly clutched his stomach, his face turning green: "Damn! Toilet! Breakfast... that damn Sophia..."

........

Borussia-Park Stadium.

Leverkusen fans cheered wildly.

Borges excitedly rushed towards Li Kang and gave him a big hug!

"This goal is in!"

"Leverkusen's full-back - Borges scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season!"

"Li Kang's breakthrough is very key! This low pass assist was too good! If he maintains this state, he will be a strong contender for the Bundesliga assist king this season!"

"In the final stage of the first half! Leverkusen equalized the score!"

Dragon Country livestream.

The screen was flooded with comments.

-【The wind is strong on the roof, brothers who haven't jumped yet, come down quickly!】

-【Borges' positioning is very cunning, no one is watching him at all, Baumjohann was too late to react.】

-【Old Toppmoller's fan-shaped attack is very old-fashioned, but the efficiency is really high! Son Heung-min and Brandt's pulling is crazy enough!】

-【I checked, Baumjohann's current value is very low, it is recommended that Leverkusen buy him back in the winter window, he can protect Li Kang!】

-【Protect my ass! He's better at protecting others! Talk to Barca and buy young Denis, the price is not expensive, cheap and practical! He can free Li Kang!】

-【Young Denis has no chance in Barca's first team, and he can't play in the Champions League on loan to Villarreal! He can play in the Champions League if he comes to Leverkusen!】

-【Real Madrid's 17-year-old Odegaard is also good, anyway, Real Madrid doesn't use him themselves.】

-【How about Feyenoord's Tahith Chong? Eredivisie supernova!】

..........

By the sidelines.

Leverkusen's coach raised his fists, but muttered in his mouth: "Borges, this guy, his finishing is too slow! He almost scared the crap out of me!"

Dino said, "Boss, if Barca's Rakitic restricts Li like Baumjohann..."

Old Toppmoller shook his head: "Enrique's brain is not as smart as Choupo-Moting's, Barca's strength doesn't need to use this kind of play at all."

On the other side.

Schubert was burying his head, discussing new tactics with the coaching staff.

No one knew what this Monchengladbach coach, who was appointed in a crisis, was thinking.

.......

The game restarted in the center circle.

Drmic passed the ball back to Xhaka.

As the players ran.

Monchengladbach's formation changed again.

3-2-3-2!

Raffael retreated to the center, echoing Dahoud and Herrmann on both sides.

Xhaka was still active in the low midfield, directing the team's advance.

With Baumjohann's protection.

Leverkusen's frontline players' pressing still didn't have much effect.

"Borges and Hilbert are under great pressure!"

"Monchengladbach's advance has once again compressed Leverkusen's wing space."

....

44 minutes into the game.

Xhaka transferred the ball to Herrmann on the right wing.

The latter suddenly accelerated!

Hilbert didn't intercept like last time, but shortened the distance between himself and Papadopoulos.

"Monchengladbach's attack has no template!"

"Herrmann didn't cut inside this time, he passed the ball to Raffael in the middle!"

"Very flexible footwork!"

Raffael was already thirty years old.

Facing Bender's press.

This former Samba star made a series of dazzling moves.

Making the Leverkusen captain dare not act rashly.

Just as Raffael was about to change direction.

Kramer tackled to the ground from the side!

Clang!

The ball was poked to Papadopoulos' feet!

"A clean and neat steal!"

"Leverkusen's counterattack is coming!"

"Monchengladbach is well prepared, the defensive positioning of the backcourt players is very good!"

Papadopoulos looked up and observed Son Heung-min's position!

He sent a long pass!

The trajectory of the ball in the air was extremely erratic!

....

By the sidelines.

Schubert had a calm expression, he had fully considered Leverkusen's counterattack before the game.

Baumjohann and Xhaka in low positions had plenty of time to track back and complete the defense with the three center-backs.

He even wanted to laugh a little now.

The opponent's center-back's long pass was too weak!

His eyes moved with the trajectory of the ball.

In a daze.

He saw a black-haired figure.
