Dear Gua

Chapter 24 This Kind of Genius Midfielder Shouldn't Start?

Li Kang made a few gestures.

His teammates nodded in understanding.

Although they looked down on the mute Dragonborn, they still had the professional attitude to obey the coaching staff's tactical arrangements.

The assistant coach was a little confused.

He hadn't discussed any tactical changes with Li Kang.

The kid's gestures were saying, "Pass the ball to me! Continue the aggressive attack!"

Oh no.

The assistant coach quickly roared at the players.

Don't listen to him!

But his weak voice was soon drowned out by the roaring cheers of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford.

...

The game continued.

Borges threw the ball in.

Brandt received the ball on the wing and was immediately double-teamed by Lingard and Barella.

Instinctively, he passed the ball horizontally to the center!

Li Kang gently stepped on the ball.

From his God's-eye view, he had complete control of all the information on the green field.

His body leaned back sharply.

He heavily braced against Herrera.

Preventing the Manchester United midfielder from making any interfering movements!

Then he turned and kicked!

Before Fellaini could close in.

Li Kang sent a long, overhead pass!

Then he quickly moved forward.

Herrera painfully rubbed his shoulder: How could this kid be so strong?

"Not bad! His physical confrontation ability is not bad!"

"Beautiful! This pass is too good!"

The football spun violently.

Accurately landing in the vacant area on Manchester United's right wing!

Son Heung-min accelerated sharply.

The moment he stopped the ball.

He thought to himself: Li's pass is so comfortable!

He didn't even need to adjust much.

He smoothly dribbled the ball towards Manchester United's penalty area!

....

On the sidelines.

Van Gaal frowned, "What's going on? Are you sure he came from La Masia's youth academy? How can he have no technique at all!"

The Manchester United coach recalled the group of Barcelona geniuses he had promoted years ago... If it were them, they would definitely have used their delicate and gorgeous footwork to baffle Herrera!

Giggs flipped through the information and muttered, "His vision, awareness, and this pass definitely reflect the level of training at La Masia..."

On the other side.

Schmidt and the assistant coach were also a little confused.

"This kid, he's probably just lucky..."

"Coach, we should focus on defense now, and the second leg..."

"Damn it, look at that kid still making gestures, he's directing the backcourt teammates to move forward!"

On the Bayer Leverkusen bench.

Bellarabi looked displeased, "If the mute Dragonborn were sensible, he would serve us well..."

Çalhanoğlu shook his head, his eyes fixed on the green field.

.....

Of course, Li Kang couldn't direct other teammates to move forward.

He could only direct Kramer.

Son Heung-min entered the penalty area.

Manchester United's defense frantically contracted.

De Gea did not choose to attack but stood steadily in front of the goal line.

Blind and Carrick also blocked his passing lanes!

No way to pass!

Son Heung-min feinted to go to the baseline, shaking off Blind.

His left instep struck the football hard!

Bang!

The football roared towards the far corner of Manchester United's goal!

"Beautiful!"

"Can this ball go in?!"

Exclamations came from all sides of the stands!

Manchester United center-back, Smalling, threw himself to block the shot.

Using his big butt, he blocked the curler!

Son Heung-min helplessly held his head... just as he was about to give Li Kang a thumbs up.

"What a pity!"

"Manchester United's crisis has not been resolved!"

The football bounced out of the penalty area!

Happening to fall to Kramer!

The Bayer Leverkusen defensive midfielder chested the ball down.

Raising his right leg.

Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot from distance.

The football was flicked to the arc of the penalty area!

Unoccupied area.

...

A black-haired figure took three steps.

His body tilted to an extremely exaggerated degree!

His left foot raised high!

Like a god descending to earth!

It was a shooting style that even the most critical Premier League football commentators could find no fault with!

The sound of the instep connecting with the football.

Seemed to strike the hearts of every Manchester United fan.

Instantly echoing through the night sky of Old Trafford.

...

The football deformed violently.

Like a cannonball!

Carrying an unbelievable domineering force!

Shattering Manchester United's defense.

Turning into a black shadow in mid-air!

Whistling towards Manchester United's goal!

Instinctive fear caused De Gea's save to be a step too slow!

When the football stuck to the net.

Manchester United's goal frame shook violently!

2:1!!!

The whole stadium was silent.

"Unbelievable!"

"Too terrifying!"

"A earth-shattering long shot!"

"Incredible! Dragonborn youngster Li Kang! In his debut in the Champions League, he scored a goal less than 3 minutes after coming on!"

"Kramer sets up the cannon! Li Kang scores with a long shot! The score gap is narrowed! There is still suspense in the game!"

"Bayer Leverkusen sees a glimmer of hope!"

"Let me add a sentence here, De Gea and Li Kang are teammates in the Spanish national youth team. After a long absence, their way of saying hello is a cannon shot!"

Dragon Country live broadcast room.

Netizens were also stunned.

-[I originally thought the highlights were fake... A devastating long shot! Batistuta?]

-[Li's shot seems even more powerful than in the youth league.]

-[The key is not just this shot! Look at the replay, Li Kang's initial side-on long pass initiated the attack, directing his teammates to insert from behind during the run, and the sense of position before the final run-up and shot! Such a talented midfielder doesn't deserve to start for Bayer Leverkusen? What's the point of Çalhanoğlu...]

-[Where's the brother who said he'd eat thirty pounds of shit live?]

-[Requesting the psychological shadow area of De Gea.]

-[How did a genius midfielder like Li Kang join the Spanish national youth team? Then he can't represent the national football team in competitions for the rest of his life!]

....

On the sidelines.

Van Gaal was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Giggs's hand loosened, and the folder fell to the ground.

On the other side,

Schmidt felt a burst of dizziness.

He quickly grabbed the assistant coach's shoulder, "Damn it, why didn't the coaching staff discover his..."

Bellarabi and Çalhanoğlu's expressions were as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

...

The Old Trafford stadium DJ, after a long silence, finally called out the name of the goalscorer.

Bayer Leverkusen's teammates gathered around.

But they saw Li Kang picking up the football from the net.

Raising his hand to refuse the celebration.

Son Heung-min was stunned and said, "There are still a few minutes left in the game! Li means... we can tie the score... or even overtake it!"

As he spoke.

The teammates followed the Dragonborn youngster and ran frantically towards the center circle.

De Gea's body was slightly bent, and his palms were placed on his knees.

He looked at the back of the Leverkusen number 10.

Thoughtfully.

...

The game continued.

Manchester United restarted from the center circle.

From his God's-eye view, Li Kang couldn't fully understand Van Gaal's tactics.

Manchester United's offensive core seemed to be the "big circle tactics" built around Fellaini.

But the actual forward organizing core was Herrera.

Defensive midfielder Carrick's distribution level was also quite high.

But why was Blind the one passing the ball out from the back?

As expected of a world-renowned coach.

87th minute of the match.

Li Kang assisted Kramer in intercepting Lingard.

Bayer Leverkusen's counterattack.

Here it comes again!
