Chapter 1 The Module "One Sword Seals the Throat"

Li Kang was surrounded by his teammates, cheering and celebrating.

But he was thinking about the "One Sword Seals the Throat" module.

He usually only watched videos of the top five leagues from the last two seasons.

He had never seen Raul's highlight reel from his Real Madrid days.

That Schalke 04 legend.

How could his shooting skills be so exquisite?

And this was just an incomplete version of the module.

Not only was the trigger condition random,

but the freedom of choosing a shot was also so high.

If it were the complete version...

.....

North Rhine.

Crazy fans gathered in bars everywhere.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol.

The sounds of breaking bottles and curses were endless.

"F*** it, how could Monchengladbach get three goals scored on them by Manchester City! They're embarrassing North Rhine!"

"Wolfsburg shouldn't have sold their main players from last season! They were crushed by Lazio from Italy's fallen Serie A!"

"What's wrong with Bayern Munich! How could Arsenal be leading by two goals? Are we watching science fiction?"

"I knew we couldn't do without Schalke 04! The Bundesliga's European points are being wasted!"

The big screen switched.

The camera replayed the wonderful moment when Li Kang broke through Rome's goal!

His dashing figure.

The aesthetically pleasing arc.

Left all the Bundesliga fans stunned.

They started banging on the tables like crazy.

All the clubs in the North Rhine region were deadly enemies in domestic wars, but allies in foreign wars!

"God! Li Kang scored two goals against those Roman tortoises! He's really making North Rhine proud!"

Crash!

The sound of breaking bottles... gradually drowned out the cheers.

"F*** it, why are we still drinking Vossler beer! Schurrle is useless! We should be drinking Veltins!!!"

"That's right! Let's drink the V+ series that Li Kang endorses! The commercial he shot with that big cow is really awesome!"

...........

Back at the Olympic Stadium.

Bayer Leverkusen's revelry gradually subsided.

Dino suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss, the Spanish national team's coaching staff sent us a fax a few days ago, wanting to inquire about a detailed report on Li Kang... and his role in the club's tactical system."

Old Man Topp frowned and cursed, "That stupid Del Bosque! Those little dwarves from Spain are too cunning! Are we going to have another strong enemy for our German team..."

Dino said bitterly, "Boss, we in the coaching staff don't even know Li Kang's position..."

Old Man Topp was stunned.

He really didn't know how to use Li Kang!

......

The game restarted in the center circle.

Bayer Leverkusen began to change its formation.

Li Kang was moved to the defensive midfielder position.

With the help of Kramer and Bender.

Rome couldn't complete a high-speed advance.

Pjanic wasn't good at physical confrontations and was completely suppressed by Li Kang.

The scene gradually became fragmented.

Salah and Dzeko couldn't find any opportunities to score.

"Coach Topp's on-the-spot formation change is very effective."

"Bayer Leverkusen has become a strong team that knows how to snowball! They compress the space in their backcourt very tightly, not giving their opponents any room to break through!"

"Pjanic is being restricted very tightly and can't deliver shells to the frontcourt!"

"It's hard for Rome to break the deadlock!"

....

As the game time went on.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Rome was silent, as if someone had died.

Impatient Roman fans left early in anger.

This was a viewing habit cultivated during the decline of Serie A.

Sudden death? Reversal?

Even the players of Happy Bean thought that this phenomenon could not happen to a Serie A team in 2015... especially Rome.

....

Back in the locker room.

Old Man Topp was a little excited.

After thirteen years, he had led Bayer Leverkusen to an advantage in the Champions League again.

"Rome, which is behind, is like a slug that has had its shell removed! They don't have the teeth to threaten our defense!"

"Even if Totti rejuvenates, he can't turn the current Rome back into that terrifying Red Wolf!"

"After he comes on the field, Rome's formation will definitely become 4-1-4-1 or 4-6-0, and they won't put on that disgusting chain formation again!"

"Totti's false nine is different from Cruyff's and Hidegkuti's retreat! He will still be at the top of the arrow, and the spacing of Rome's frontcourt attacking players will become tighter! The passing point will shift from Pjanic to him!"

"It's 2015! Serie A teams have given countless answers to cracking this tactic!"

...

Old Man Topp spent 7 minutes breaking down the task to each player.

Li Kang's thoughts gradually became clear: As expected of the coach of the Triple Second team, he is too good at playing with the wind!

"Listen up! We will bring victory back to Leverkusen!"

The sharp voice echoed in the ears of the Bayer Leverkusen players.

.....

Rome's locker room.

Garcia tried hard to squeeze out a relaxed expression and said calmly:

"Cheer up! You guys are great! Forget the damn score, we still have time!"

"Rome was in a deeper quagmire two years ago! We got up! And we won't fall down so easily!"

The frustrated Roma players raised their heads one after another.

Yes.

No matter how bad it gets, it can't be worse than the Rome that was destroyed by Enrique back then.

It was Mr. Garcia who led us to defeat one strong opponent after another, win Serie A second place! Return to the Champions League stage!

"We still have Totti!"

Thousands of words.

Can't compare to the symbol of the Red Wolf.

............

"Good evening, viewers, welcome back!"

"Now broadcasting for you is the first round of the 2015/16 Champions League group stage E!"

"The second half of the match between Rome and Bayer Leverkusen!"

"The players from both sides have returned to the field! Both teams have made substitutions!"

"On the Rome side, Totti has replaced Keita!"

"On the Bayer Leverkusen side, Bellarabi has replaced Brandt!"

Li Kang stood on the green field.

Looking remotely at the burly figure wearing the Roma No. 10 jersey.

Classical attacking midfielder.

False nine.

One person, one city.

Living legend.

It seemed that the entire city of Rome was calling out a noun in Italian.

Principe.

............

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the match officially began.

Rome's formation became 4-1-4-1.

All the midfielders and forwards seemed to have transformed into fierce wolves.

Pressing forward crazily.

Every time Totti received the ball, he would always make sure that he was no longer in the single-arrow position.

He casually flicked the ball away, avoiding Bellarabi's press.

Suddenly accelerated.

Carrying Son Heung-min, who was desperately pressing.

Advanced a few steps.

Looked up to observe.

Sent out a lob pass!

"39-year-old Totti, still as good as ever!"

"Salah!"

The line of the football was extremely accurate.

It crossed Bayer Leverkusen's right defensive line.

Salah adjusted his position with small steps on the wing, about to lift his foot to stop the ball.

Bang!

Li Kang took the lead and cleared the ball out of the baseline!

In the Olympic Stadium, sighs of helplessness erupted from all four stands.

Everything was as Old Man Topp had expected.

Static passing.

It was already difficult to show competitiveness in the European arena in 2015.

Even with a legend with the style of a classical midfielder and a false nine.

It couldn't turn the tide.
