"Now, let's introduce the starting lineups for both teams."

"Leverkusen is fielding a 4-2-3-1 formation, the same as last season! They haven't made any major signings during the summer transfer window!"

"Goalkeeper: Leno!"

"Left Back: Hilbert!"

"Center Backs: Jonathan Tah, Papadopoulos!"

"Right Back: Borges!"

"Defensive Midfielders: Bender, Kramer!"

"Attacking Midfielders: Bellarabi, Çalhanoğlu, Son Heung-min!"

"Striker: Kießling!"

"Hoffenheim is fielding a 4-3-3 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Baumann!"

"Left Back: Kim Jin-su!"

"Center Backs: Süle, Schär!"

"Right Back: Kadeřábek!"

"Defensive Midfielder: Schwegler!"

"Central Midfielders: Polanski, Jonathan!"

"Left Winger: Kurányi!"

"Center Forward: Zuber!"

"Right Winger: Volland!"

According to international football position classifications, there aren't really positions called 'defensive midfielder' and 'attacking midfielder.'

It's just that early translators in the eighties made mistakes, and these terms have persisted in commentary on Dragon Country television until 2015.

Including formation introductions, you can't simply read from the roster, because player positions depend on their actual positioning after the match starts.

There are also many international professional terms that have taken on different meanings in Dragon Country due to translation issues.

Of course.

The fans don't mind this.

If standard terms were used one day, they would be very unaccustomed to it.

....

With the referee's whistle, the match officially begins!

Hoffenheim has possession.

Zuber passes the ball laterally to Kurányi.

Facing Kießling's aggressive pressure, the latter quickly passes back to Schwegler.

"Leverkusen's pressure is too strong!"

"Every player in their midfield and attack is involved in high pressing!"

"Hoffenheim has to pass the ball back to their own half to reorganize their attack!"

....

The match is fairly predictable.

In the fifth minute of the match.

Son Heung-min successfully steals the ball from Volland in the opponent's half.

He quickly passes it diagonally to Borges, who has overlapped from the wing.

Borges breaks away.

With the ball, he easily shakes off Kadeřábek's interception.

He reaches the vicinity of the goal line.

Crosses from the ground!

The football curves beautifully in the air.

Hoffenheim's penalty area.

Kießling jumps high, overpowering two center backs!

A header!

He smashes the ball into the opponent's goal!

1:0!!!

"Goal!"

"This is Kießling's favorite way to score!"

"His ability to compete for headers is top-notch in the Bundesliga!"

Kießling pats his forehead, rushes to the corner flag, and interacts excitedly with the Leverkusen fans!

....

The rest of the match.

Becomes very simple.

Leverkusen completely controls the advantage on the field.

Thanks to Çalhanoğlu's organization.

They press Hoffenheim back into their penalty area for a frenzied siege!

"Less than 20 minutes into the game, Leverkusen has already completed 6 shots! 5 shots on target!"

"It has to be said that Çalhanoğlu is the core of the team's attack! His control of the rhythm of possession is top-notch! Especially in the deployment on the left and right wings!"

"This static midfielder, who has extremely strong rhythm control, complements Leverkusen's style of play!"

"Last season, he scored the most direct free kicks in the top five leagues!"

"The scariest thing is that he is only 21 years old, and his future is bright! It is hard to imagine what heights he will reach in the future!"

-[My Çalhanoğlu is the real deal! He will definitely surpass Xavi and Pirlo in the future!]

-[Look at his movement when he stops the ball, so smooth!]

-[It's ridiculous that the number 10 jersey was taken by that benchwarmer. Leverkusen's management should get out of here!]

-[Don't panic, Çalhanoğlu will use his strength to win back the number 10 jersey! If the club can't see any commercial return from Li Kang, they will kick him out!]

-[If Bellarabi hadn't wasted so many chances, the score would already be 4:0!]

....

In the 38th minute of the match.

Hoffenheim finally gets a chance to counterattack!

Süle prevents Bellarabi from completing an inside cut and shot!

He easily tackles the ball.

He then launches a long pass counterattack!

The football crosses midfield!

Hoffenheim fans only finished singing the first line of their team song...

Unfortunately.

Zuber, who attempted a long-distance raid, couldn't get past the midfield barrier formed by Bender and Kramer at all.

The gap in strength is clear.

They don't even have a chance to shoot.

....

In the 45th minute of the match.

Çalhanoğlu lobs a pass into the penalty area.

Kießling jumps high again.

He doesn't choose to shoot himself.

Instead, he heads the ball across.

Son Heung-min's movement is like a ghost.

He gets rid of the defenders and moves forward to the right side of the small penalty area.

A push with the instep!

Bang!

Hoffenheim's net is lifted again!

2:0!!!

The entire BayArena.

Is filled with the joy of victory!

....

In the 78th minute of the match.

Bellarabi, who wasted countless opportunities, is brought down by Süle in Hoffenheim's half, thirty meters from the goal.

He had been trash-talking the opponent's defenders throughout the whole game.

Successfully angering Süle.

He also suffered a heavy retaliation!

The referee immediately blows the whistle and takes out the foam spray!

Çalhanoğlu stands at the penalty spot.

He scores with one kick!

The football goes over the wall.

And is cleverly smashed into the upper left corner of the goal!

3:0!!!

Hoffenheim's 62-year-old coach, Stevens, angrily takes off his suit and throws it hard on the ground.

Schmidt glances at Li Kang on the bench.

"Go warm up!"

....

In the 92nd minute of the match.

In the last moments of stoppage time.

Li Kang stands on the sideline at the center circle.

The fourth official raises the LED number board.

The long-awaited system prompt sounds quietly.

-[Ding, mission triggered: Bundesliga Debut!]

-[Mission content: Use your performance to conquer the BayArena! Start the legendary prelude!]

-[Ding! Detecting that the host has less than one minute of playing time remaining, the mission content has been modified: Enjoy the atmosphere of the BayArena!]

-[Mission reward: Mysterious Treasure Chest!]

Çalhanoğlu glances at the LED number board.

And walks straight to the sideline.

Leverkusen fans immediately give him the warmest applause!

No one cares: why doesn't he walk to the center circle to high-five and hug Li Kang?

"We see that Leverkusen has used their last substitution."

"Number 10, Li Kang, replaces Çalhanoğlu!"

"This should be a like-for-like substitution!"

"We look forward to this overseas compatriot's debut in the Bundesliga!"

"..."

"Ah... at this moment, the referee blows the whistle to end the match!"

"Let us congratulate Leverkusen! On achieving a winning start to this season's Bundesliga!"

Dragon Country's live broadcast room.

The chat is full of joy.

-[Laughing to death! Li Kang came on, didn't run a few steps! And the game was over!]

-[Isn't this great? Haha, the commercial purpose of Leverkusen's management has been achieved! It's just too difficult for the editing guy! All day long, all he can cut are Li Kang's juggling clips in the training ground!]

-[You can't tell the level of juggling, the old man guarding my neighborhood, his juggling skills definitely beat the national football team!]

-[Çalhanoğlu is very angry! He's so awesome, but the number 10 jersey was taken by a mascot!]
